KINDS0/ The Peavine Again, iSditor Orangeburg Democrat ; Tell us, Mr. Editor, why it is Unit we farmers, having eyes yet see not, or seeing believe not, how others mukc fino crops, and yet some of us, still seem blindly to plod along in the same old rut, fearing a mishap or some sudden jolt if wo attempt to break away from it. For year having witnessed the beneficial effects of a j heavy crop of pcavincs on the suc ceeding crop, and ill the recuperation of worn soil wherever they were acci dentally allowed to rot upon the ground and net pulled up or totally fed away, and more recently having observed the beautiful result where they were sown and turned in the past winter, in the more vigorous giowtb of cotton this year, I have ventured to drop you this hasty pa per hoping it may catch the eye of some lazily hesitating or still doubt ing Judas and stimulate hitii to put into practice, what others have tried and do heartily recommend, and un hesitatingly say, their crops are greatly improved and their lauds are left in much liner condition for suc ceeding crops. Though a)most too late now to derive tlio full benefit of the plan usually adopted, it is not too late for some limp (o gel :f decid ed improvement in the next crop. It is scarcely necessary after so much has been already said and written about it, to repeat the the process practiced by those that have met with success ; some may not know it and I write it. Jl is simply this : Lay off the land in rqui-dislunl rows ho that one ami a hall or two bushels of peas per acre can be sown evenly broad cast and well ploughed under, (the later the season the greater quan tity of peas should be sown,) and about the middle of October when t ic weather has grown cool, sow upon the same land one or inorc bushels of oats per acre, and turn all under nice ly together. If there are any ripe peas on the vines?and there will be if planted in limjo?rtliey remain in the ground the winter through and come up the next spring and when oats arc cut, which will no doubt be improved 100 per cent, over the past crop, they go vigorously to growing to cover the ground again with both vines and peas to make the farmer's heart jump with joy at the prospect ahead of him for the next crop. Now, now, whenever it is, is the ac cepted time, go light at it, or you will lose the opportunity to increase your crops and improve your lands, and the joyous emotions coming from such a condition of things. There can be no doubt that the plan suggested is the simplest, surest and cheapest of all that can be practi cally carried out. Whilst we have knowu for years how a line crop of pea vines bencfltted the land yet we hesitated to use them in this way be cause it looked like making and giv ing away one fine crop to make an other-, not estimating the great good the land received from Idem, besides the increased crop they caused to be made. But upon practice, we find this is not so, as we are simply giv ing the succeeding cropu belter ma nuring than we could do in any other way, and most of our lands should bu well munurod any how. That great old patriot and farmer, Edmund Ruf- 1 fin, of Virginia, said years ago, that | the pea constituted the gicat remedy ; for Southern agricultural exhaustion, and that where the soil was totally exhausted of potash, phosphoric acid and chloride, thai peas alone or eyen combined with lime could not restore these elements to the soil. Fortun ately such is rarely so in our soils in which ca6e resort should be had to o'her means, such as bone dust and gypsum, stable manure and guano; either will help the pea amazingly in providing a more luxuriant vine which is sure to eliminate from a lateral State enough of these elements to en rich the land. If lands ever made food crops they surely can be made to do so again, simply hy the plan hero suggested, for it is but science re duced to practice and many about ns aro practicing what they preach oil this subject. Alter all, science is nothing more than properly cultiva ted common sense, directed to the in vestigation of facts relating to any subject, and its value to the fanner has been simply and well illustrated in the recuperation of worn lands by the use of the pea vine in the manner herein and heretofore suggested. There are ve-y many who anxiously enquire how their worn hinds can he recovered without tho use of such a' quantity of stable manure and cotton seed as it is impracticable to obtain, and yet when told how they purely can do so ; because they think they have some piece of Crop, measurably poor at that, which needs Uic plowing at the time when the peas should he sown and ploughed under, they have not the time to do so j and ofler.cr than is supposed the little yellow thing called a crop is more hurt than improved by the plowing it gels at that season of the year. Let us throw away the old bag that our grand parents used to carry pumpkins in and try to grow them so large that it will he necessary to provide a new plan of conveyance. Tnic Nkw Dm?akturb. A Strange Tale by a Preacher. The Presiding Elder of the Mur frcCsboro district of the Virginia Con ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, which includes about a dozen counties in the northeastern section of North Carolina, lolls the following rcihaikablo snake story upon the authority of one of the pious itinerants under his ccclcsialical direction. There can be no doubt of its entire truth, strange as the narra tive is, and it suggests the existence of many a mystery in the economy of the lower orders of creation which has thus far eluded the most minute and I searching nci entitle investigation. When the minister was a boy he went out Otic day with his bow and arrows and loitered leisurely along the road I side, testing his marksmanship upon various objects. Coming to where a shallow brook, called in the South a branch',* crossed the highway, he ob served a snake, of the deadly species known as the moccasin, basking in the sunlight. lie shot all his arrows at the formidable rep'.ile, wounding him in several places, and repeated the pas'.iue till the snake was to all appearances dead. Seeing a parly of colored petsons approaching at a dis tance, the boy took the wounded snake in his hands and laid him in a coil in the middle of the path, and then hid himself in the bushes to see what the negroes Would do when they came to the spot. In a few moments another snake of the same kind glided out from the thicket and went up to his wounded fellow and examined him. Then darting back into the covert he returned with some leaves in his mouth pieces of which ho placed carefully upon the wounds, making them ail here like plasters. The ap parently dead snake immediately be gan to revive, and soon recovered his| jiowcr of locomotion and crawled away to the woods. Have the snakes doctors? This incident looks thai way. Charity for the Fallen. Never say anything damaging to the good name of a woman, it matters not how poor she may be or what her place in society. They have a hard enough time at best, and God help Ihe man who woiild give them a kick down the hill. We are all too free wjth their names?we talk too much about them and we do very wrong. The least little, bint that there is something wrong, that ''she ain't all right," whether spoken in jest or in earnest, is taken up and unlike the lolling stone gathers m?ss as it goes from place lo place and at last cornea home to the persecuted creatures With crushing weight. She has done noth ing but keep quiet while her idle per secutors have pursued her, and now she is kicked from door to door, and is fallen so low that none do her rev erence. Give a dog a bad name and you bad as well kill him?talk about a good woman on the streets and across bar-room counters, and you had as well sei her down as a social wreck. No one wants to help her. We don't want so much theoretical religion ; we want a kind of blue jeans and homespun pity that will do /on the washtub and the kitchen as well as the drawing-room and parlor.a I sort of universal honesty that , will not think a woman a thief localise siie happens lo wear a sun bonnet and j walk across the street with a string of mackerel in her baud.

Editor Oranyebury Democrat: I have frequently wondered vhy our farmers so generally used whiskey as a stimulating beverage, a great deal of which being of an impure kind, manufactured from drugs thai are destructive to lifo and health (I do not say that we cannot get a pure article of whiskey, but I do say when we do get it, it is an 'exception,) when it is within the reach of every farmer to supply himself and family with the pure juice of the grape. I mean the scuppernong?"a grape to the manor born," and which never fails in producing its annual crop. Jl is not affected by blight or insects, never irjurcd by cold. The writer knows one farmer who has cultivated them for twenty 3ears, and has never had a failure. I will give you, Mr. Editor, his mode of culture, hoping it may in duce our people to cultivate them and make therefrom a beverage infinitely superior Lo all the stimulating liquors now so uivcrsally used ; a beverage of the pure juice of, the grape. 1 would right hero put in another im portant claim for this grape. It is in I m.v judgment among the best, if not. the very best, table grape of our Southern country. Nine vines properly arranged, plan ted, manured, and cultivated will in a lew years cover HO feet square, and will yield 100 gallons of superior wine. Planting must be from rooted vines and 550 feet nparty should he p.anted in the month of November. Plough the ground eight or ten inches deep, digging holes four, feet in di ameter, eighteen inches deep, till the Indes with soil from fence corners, or muck from ponds or swamps, mixing with about four pounds of acid phos phate or six pounds of Hour of phos phate, place n pest in 1I12 centre of hole lo train vine to ; be careful lo lay the roots well out, have them about two inches below the surface of; the ground, water occasionally, espe cially if Iho seasons arc 'dry. When they commence growing rub oil" all the buds or canes but three and train them up the posts. When they have reached about seven feet, which will be about the second year, erect for lucm trellis lo iuu on, lei them be just high enough lo be reached when standing on the ground, l'ut down four posts at the distance of live feet from centre post so as to make a square ; across each two post lay a rail or piece of scantling, ten or twelve feet long (I use rails split for fencing) and on theyc lay rails split liner or smaller. This gives a trellis of from ten lo twelve feet square. In one or two years il will be necessary to extend your trellis by pulling two post down mill way between 3*our old er post, and on them put rails as be fore. In this way in tt short time the ninety leet square will be cover ed. It will 1c nccossury to manure every year until the whole surface is completely shaded, Gallier air the old bones and pile around the vines, and give them nn occasional dose of phosphate Hour or acid phosphate, and they will very soon amply pay for all expense and trouble. GitAl'E ViNi:. The Position of Radical Leaders. Every Democratic paper in the country should, during the next year, take particular pains to show the ticasonable attitude the Republican leaders assumed during the extra scs sion of Congress with reference to the Union. Their clearly defined purpose is to provincialize the Stales and nullify the Federal government as one of delegated,limited and restricted powers, and substitute therefor a powerful centralized authority, which will wholly exclude the people from participation in the government, and consequently destroy the Union and the republic. If those treasonable designs arc emphatically ventilated, we will shortly see these blatant con spirators begin to hedge and finally swear they never entertained any such views. They must be compelled lo humblo themselves before the American people, whom they have grievously insulted,- and beg their pardon.?Louisville Courier-Journal. Magistrate?"What !

Editor Orangcburg Democrat: Having visited Sandy Run, I thought it would not be uninteresting to our farmers to inform them, ns nearly as possible, of the condition of the crops in thut section of the country. .Some of the lending farm ers say that the cotton crop-is equal ly as goud as last year, although not as large, but better fruited. The cause of it being smaller, they think, is on account of suffering so long for rain, which they did not get, so as to do any marked good, from the lClli of May lip to the 24th of July, Tin*, corn crop is injured in some places, in others it is an average crop ; in the swamp, however, it is, taken on an average a little belter than last year. The rain has been very heavy ever since it commenced, and there is I SOine danger of its injuring the cot ton serinesly, in making it throw oil its {fruit. The small grain crops were above average, and particularly the wheat, as most of the farmers made abundance lo do them this year. This should be an encouragement lo our farmers lo plant more small uraih Unit the expense of their family food might be reduced lo a smaller sum. The farmers, principally the young men of said section, have organised a debuting society, which is an at tractive hud on the once lively und nourishing rose bush of Sandy Run; ami it, will bring If) light many n spark which had grown dim. With stich men as officers, with such young men as debaters, ami wit h such young 11-iilies as encouraging instruments, us i they have, the society will ultimately upset the inditl'crenco' of out-siders or critics. Jf .the good people of San dy Run continue to manifest the in terest limy have of late in the im ! pioycmuul of Iheir homes, and work at the same time so cheerfully for their county, they will soon shake [Oil the old scars Jell by the ravaging hand of the last war.
