TV? are trt no tray rcspontiblc for tho riete? or opinions of our Correspondents* WASTED LIBERALITY. 'In Anderson county, the Conserva tives, although in a decided majority, have accepted a proposition from the Republicans to make no party nomi nations in that county, in order to avoid the animosities which political agita tion, and especially too strict nn adher once to party lines, are apt to engender. The plan is to run men for office upon their own merits and personal charac ter, miner than upon their political affiliations, which is surely a great im provement upon tho present, corrupt system of conventions. The resolutions submitted to the Conservatives by Col. Jno. R. Cochran, acting for tho Republican Convention, admit that "in Anderson county peace and prosperity reigns, law and ordor are enforced fairly and justly, and the two racea are living happily and har moniously together," and tho desiro is expressed in them that this good feel ing may not be disturbed by the draw ing too tightly of party lines. This admission of the Anderson Re publican Convention, not only that peace and good will reigns, but that the government i3 justly and fairly ad ministered in this Conservative county, is a plain and honest contradiction, from a trustworthy Republican source, of the oft repeated and studiously dis 8eminated lies about the intolerance injustice and oppression of tho Conser vatives, when they have power, and we would invite the attention of the colored people to it, because it is not what wc say, but what a Regular Re publican Convention snys. Besides this we notice that tho Con servatives of Union, who also have a majority, have placed three colored men on the County ticket. We aro gratified to noto these clear indications of a spirit of harmony and conciliation on the part of the Conser vatives of Anderson and Union; but, judging from past experience, wo aro strongly inclined to the opinion iliat the Repulicans, in any county in which they have a majority, would sco us in tho bottomless pits of his satanic do minions, before they would graut us similar advantages. The legislative is a more important branch of the government than the executive, and, if the Conservatives electtheirown representatives in every county in which they have a majority or an equal number of votes, nearly, if not quito halt of the counties of tho State will bo represented by them in the legislature. Wo are ardent advocates ot harmony good will and political freedom and liberality of sentiment, and would hail as an auspicious omen of liberty and political progress, tiie day, when men are elevated to office upon individual merits instead of party affiliations; but we fenr that our up country friends, who are stigmatized as ku-klux, and yet who have made such liberal con cessions, of their own accord to the Republicans, without exacting from them corresponding concessions in counties in which they are in the as cendency, are doing nn act which will never be appreciated, and which uudcr the present indications of Republican intolerance, will only result in dimin ishing the number of Conservative representatives in tho coming legisla ture. Far be it from us to discountenance a spirit of liberality on the part of the Conservatives, but we do think, in a political light, when concessions arc made, that they should be reciprocal, and not altogether onesided. BAD LOGIC, The Ring organ in Columbia very candidly characterizes the Chamber lain ratification meeting in Shunter as a disgraceful riot, but throws the blame upon the Green men. Of course it is no especial concern ofonr?,both factions being Republican, but we don't see how the Chamberlain itcs can complain, if they send out "Confidential Circulars" urging "their friends to assemble in force to control the action of the Independent meet ings." If wo pull our neighbor's nose, we should certainly uxpeet him to pull ours in return, if ho can. Coli. M. R. Dolancy has resigned his position in the Customhouse, in consequence of his nomination for Lieu tenant Governor, [communicated.] Mb. Editor:?In reply to tho Rev Mr. H. in,your issue *of October 1st., I must' first and foremost pronounce the second paragraph of that commu nication, and all other allusions to the R6V. Mr. Hartley, and the Antioch church as false, in toto, ab initio, ad fiuem, So destitute is it oftruth, that it must be branded as a wilful falsehood. A. B. is truly sorry that the Rev. gen tleman should have allowed madam rumor to furnish him with weapon3 in his controversy, as those of her man ufacture generally break in the using, or seriously injure those who employ them. May I advise you to rely no more upon her sayings for the triumph ant suecess of your amicable disputa tions. Never until lions fear mice, will Mr. Hartley fear Mr H's. mid night productions. That Earn well Union communion ; that "slip of the tongue," with many other "slips," force me to say that hereafter when yQU make an assertion that common facts won't establish as truthful, will not bo received. Since you presume so freely and confidentially upon the beautiful and truthful features of that sermon, why did you on that very Sabbath after the delivery of that sermon, let your tongue lose its balance again by telling S. that he should certaiuly have it to read over,when he requested it of you. It is sincerely hoped that you will publish that sermon. A. B. will certainly procure a copy, and hopes to find it the identical sermon verbatim et literatim, no change made since its delivery at Triunity church. Mr. H. made a perfect fumble of that comparison of churches to tho differ ent currencies. I suspected thcre'd be some midnight misunderstanding about what the preacher was saying, when Mr. H. was keeping up a continual line of remarks with that young lady, Miss I. Horo is what tho preacher said: "Certain modes of baptism (so called) are received by some denomi nations, 'aud rejected by others, some sprinkle, others pour, while others im merse; each had its value, and while tho two former modes passed only in certain places, tho latter mode was good aud passed all over ihe world; it was like gold, none would reject, some kinds of money will not be received everywhere; they are considered doubt ful, but gold will pass any tiurf ?vory where. If one of the members of this church would'apply to Triuity or Jer icho church for membership he would not be rebaptised, all receive immer sion, it is lite gold and will pass every where, but sprinkling is not so." (Do you understand?) A. B. confesses he was a little un-' easy, from tho time Mr. II. made an excuse, by saying he could find no Sunday convenient for him to hear Mr Hartley's reply until his announce ment, that he would bo there, but he is all right now,and is anxious to know what Mr. II. will do with that unlim ited measure of testimony that was filed upon him, those fourteen pedo baptist authors against his assertions, that immersion was unscripturnl. A. B. will be silent on the mode for the present, he expects to learn sonic thing about that, when Mr. II. com plies with Mr Hartley's request. No friend, you mistake; A. B. was only astonished that a man of tho learning of which Mr. H. boasts, would condc send to use other men's language with out giving them the credit for it. A.B. docs not propose to bo a logician, Mr. H. does. A. B. does not pretend to be a latin and Greek scholar, nor has ho ever received tho compliment of know ing more Hebrew than his Professor; he may therefore be classed an igno ramas. "Out of a shower,v did he mean from ? did ho mean, that if, I were in (a*, near by) a shower, I would not have mental acumen enough to get from (out of) it? A. B. would be glad if Mr. II, would explain himself. Since that memorable first Sabbath in October, 1874, (he will ever remember tho day,) A. B's mental acumen has been so propositionnlly upset, that he is high in the notion to sco a bible fixed up so he can understand it. It was the prayer of Job that his "enemy would write a book," Mr. H. has written a letter, the ono Tve just been handling, and I fear it has made his enemies feel glad, and his friends feel badly. He evidently intended in that article to hurt somebody, but unfortu nately for himself, ho overloaded his gun and it kicked terribly, and hurt worst behind than before. His article shows first, that he lias lost his temper., The expression: ignoramus, "not scuso enough to carry him out of u shower," tell but too plainly, that his argument is exhausted, and his last round of ammunition fired, Ho one that has L ' lead to put in his gun, Will ever dis charge dirt at Iiis enemies. Truth is like tho sea when nt rest, calm and mighty in its repose; error, is liko the sen when storms nvo upon it, angry and tempestuous. "Ignoramus \" was it for epithets like this, that Mr H. has jbeeu so industrious in "midnight lamp trimming?" I ask has not every man, who lias rushed into controversy with out counting tho cost, ond lost his tern per when he couldn't call Iiis antago nist anything else, called him an igno ramus? Wo are surprised that a mind that has done what tho greatest minds of this age have failed to, do?find out now arguments for sprinkling, as New Testament baptism, should exhibit so little originality in the ' selections of abusive epithets. Secondly, Mr. ITi. article shows more egotism and vamly than wo ever remember having seen in the same space. Take a few illustra tions?speaking of his sermon on bap tism, he suys,"ray friends' insist on the publication of that discourse, affirming unhesitatingly, that it was tho most satisfactory thing of the kind they evei heard " Again, "so far as I am inform cd there was only one A. M., in that congregation and lie made this remark: 'It was the best thing ijevcr heard, and gave mo more satis action, than anything lever read." Of course, the other pedobaptists arc now out of date. Having given us the opi lions of his friends and brethren, and the learned A. M.. he gives us his owi opinion of it in the following precious morsel of self praise: "I am bold to my, that my sermon is my own, in the si rietest sense of that term, and contains ideas no where found from the *Wcu of any divine." Well, what rejoicing there'll be thro ughout the whole pedobaptist world over this pedobaptist Columbus, who has at last found terra firm a upon which pedobaptista may rest from the fury of the waters. Mr. H. evidently thinks he has done a wonderful thing, but others doubtless will pall to mind the mountain, of which, Wo believe, Aesop speaks, "montes jarturiunter, ridiculus mus nnscctur. iVe mean of course, tho offsprings arc alike. Mr. H. boasts that he has labored aud brought forth something new and overwhelming on the old jfeestion and ir no uont say so; ceiuiiui'ywrpTf??'imr he has settled it. Well, if so, we can only account for it on tho ground that these new ideas have been hidden from the wise and prudent, ami been reveal ed to those otherwise. But lest our baptist brethren be unduly frightened mid our pedobaptist friends unduly elated, we'll give one specimen of the "ideas nowheic to be found from the pen of any divine/' ('To be Continued) [Fon This OitACKnuuo Times.] Duksley Glovckstkrsiiire, England, Augujt, 187-1. Editor Orangcburg limes: Of arable land he has about one hundred acres, which ho cultivates as follows: He lays down one third in roots, hauling on each acre about, eigh teen loads of well rotted barn-yard and stable manure, composed of the straw from wheat, barley und beans, and trodden by the horses and cattle. That which has been trodden by his fatten ing stock being much more valuablo than any other, because they aro fed on meal, composed of corn,peas,bcans and oil cake, which makes the manure rich in nitrogen; this scattered broad cast over the laud aud turned under in tho winter or spring, with a two or threo horse plough; it then remains until May, when from throe to five hundred pounds of phosphate is appli ed and worked over again with tho plough; then tho scufler harrow, and clod chrushor is used until the land is finely pulverised and lovel; then man gel wurtzel aud swedes or ruta baga arc sown by a drill.which puts in four rows at a time, twenty inches apart. As soon as the plants get to a size they arc hoed, and as a general thing get three hocings; 1st hoeing between the rows, cleaning out all weeds and grass; 2nd thinning down to a stand, or near ly so, to one plant every ten or twelve inches, removing all weeds from tho drill; 3rd finish thinning and cleaning the ground perfectly, never putting dirt to tho voot. Hoeing is generally let out by the acre for the three hoo iugs nt about thirteen shilliiigs and six penso, or three dollars aud thirty cents por acre. Tho averagocrop per ncro being twenty long tons. In ttio winter and spring the bulk of the roots are fed to sheep on tho ground on I which they grow; tho roots aro pulled ' on a quarter of an acre, which is then [hurdled in, sheep put in them, tho turnips cut up by a machine aud fed I to them with clover, hay and oil cake; by tho time the turnips aro eaten off, tho grouud has been richly manured, it is well broken up and about the first of October sowed in wheat or barley, always drilled with a large drill, put ting in about eight feet wide at a time. Nothing being dono to it afterwards, only to remove thistles and weeds. Atter the wheat or barley has been put in, clover, rye und grass seed is sown broad-east, which comes up and makes good pasturage for sheep during winter and spring alter the green has been out off, and in summer one or two heavy crops of clover, rye and grass hay; then it is broken up and the fall {>eas or beans are put in, which are mrvested in July and August. Then it is again broken up with ten or twelve loads of good rotted barnyard manure wheat or barley again put in in Octo' ber, without the clover seeds. After being cut, the land is again prepared as before for turnips, the crops being: 1st beets and turnips, 2nd wheat or bar ley, 3rd peas and beans, 4th wheat and barley again, and then to turnips. The root crop is considered the oasis of good farming; without it they could not manure the lands to bring the fine crop* of grain they do; -it fattens the sheep, improves the wool in quality, and quantity, and enriches the land sufficiently for three years. The aver ago crop of wheat is about forty-five bushels per acre, barley about fifty; he makes annually about two thousand bushels of wheat and barley, five hun dred bushels of beans, and about one hundred of peas, worth eight hundred and sixty pounds, or near five thou sand dollars. I had forgotten to say that after the sheep have eaten all of one hurdle-pen, they are penned on an other, until the whole field has been eaten off. Ho keeps about three hun dred aud fifty sheep, selling off annu ally one hundred and fifty fat sheep to the butcher, their average weight being eighty-five pounds net, after be ing dressed, worth three pounds, or fiften dollars per head; which iu addition to tho wool cut from their bucks, averagiug ten punds each fleece.sei ling at eighteen pence or thirty six cents per pound, would make tho value of ouch sheep eighteen dollars and sixty cents, or the one hundred and fifty sold at twenty-seven bundled dollars. Ho always buys his pigs or hogs for fattening; gets them when about ten or twelve months old; iu two months he has them fat and ready for tho butcher; he fattens about fifty per year, on which he clears about two pounds each, or about five hundred dollars for tho whole. He has always demand for his straw, which he may have to spare, and has always enough to sell, at fiften dollars per ton, to pay for all the commercial manures he may use. Ho keep on his farm twelve laborers constantly, giving them about three dollars per week with hilf gallon of beer, also cottages for them to livo in; among his laborers is oue shepherd, whoso duty is to attend to the sheen, ami a cowman whOieHuTy Is to attend tho milking department; then ho has his carter whose business i? to see to the horses ploughiug ?&c. Tho ave.rngo cost of wages per year is about tweusy five hundred dollars. I four that I have already tired you with my description of English far ming aud shall therefore close. Rambler.
