Our rn?/Wo shall see it. i The Prospect for Pork. Tixz first drove of hogs this season passed through our village on Wednesday,offering . at seven-and-a-half cents gross. There were none sold, and we believe there will not be ^ any 6old, at that price, in this market. We feel authorized at lea6t in snying that such | is the general opinion about hero at present. ^ On Thursday, pork raised in the country . was delivered here at eight cents nett,-which is perhaps equivalent to ?ix cents gross. At Greenville, we have been informed, drovers ( have offered to sell at six. six-and-onc-fonrth and 6ix-and-a-half cents gross. Wo see no | reason, therefore, why we of Abbeville ^ should yield to bo much higher demands.? We think si^, cents must bo a remunera- ( tiDg price to the seller, stnd it is certaiuly depleting enough to the buyer. The communication below is made to us ^ by a friend for whose judgment wo have a high respect, but in this case we must think ^ he has been misinformed in some particu lars, though he pledges himself that the ( statement* net fnrtVi ara xxr , ?r ->r - 1-r Ml V UVI IVHJT W UC# " ^ 1 submit tliem to the consideration of those ^ interested.

Agents are travelling night and day iu Tennessee, purchasing all the stock they can find, at prices that would surprise the people of South Carolina to hoar. The 1 quantity of liogs coming to the South this year will not supply the demand by onefourth, and the people, who have heretofore had the same tale told them so often, will take it for granted that it will turn out a hoax as usual, but in this they will be very mucli mistaken. < A Friend to tub South. < -a - i Who will go to Kansas? We take the liberty of publishing a pri vato letter addressed us by Col. Buooks, on the eve of his departure for Washing- ( ton, touching the Kansas question. lie is . strongly in favor of forming emigrant companies for Kansas, and makes some admira ( ble suggestions as to tho proper manner of proceeding in tho enterprise. Similar movements lmve been made in Various sec- ( tions of the S'./utii, and we lmpo the sug- , [jestion, of our honored Representative will ( meet the favor of his entire constituency, | and that the proper persona will make an , early move in the matter. , Gen. Whitfield, in the letter alluded to , f>y Col. Biiooks, indicates the determination of the pro-slavery party in Kansas to . .riumpn or aie, and says, "Wo shall rely , jpon our Southern friends for help." They , rre nobly fighting our battles there, and j shall we not send them at h_*ast one regi- ( lient of voters from South Carolina to , strengthen their aims and chcer their , liearta? Or shall we prefer to lie by and ( allow Abolitionists and Ficcsoilers to take ( [lie Territory by default, so that we may pick another quarrel with the Federal Gov?rnment, denounce the Nebraska bill, and v re-enact the oft-played farce ? It will be seen thai Col. Bkooks pledges j himself for five hundred dollars in aid of j Lhe enterprise. Will not other wealthy gen- , *1 -f A l_ - TT* .1 T\- - * - - uciiicii ui iue rourin jjistnct to!low Iiik , exnmple? And will not the young men of ( all classes respond to the call for volunteers ? The world would laugh, perhaps, to hear ( nn editor offer to contribute money, and we j ire not disposed to excite its mirth by such i proposition; but, although we love our r liome?the only home we have ever known , ?if the effort is made to raise n company in tVbbeville, and one volunteer is wanting to all the list, wo respond, "Here am I ;*send Tie!"

It may be that the mood I am in s reflected upon my judgment; but be that c is it m.Ty, I look upon the approaching 1 session of Congress with foreboding and c :oncern. I sincerely believe that the fate 1 )f this country for the next generation is to t )? determined by the next Congress. If 1 ve pass the impending crisis safely, we will ;o along quietly for a life in law. But c 'there's the rub."

Nor ,_will they dare * to eject Whitfield and give his seat to < Rkeder, because that would inaugurate i Elevolution. Reeder, you will recollect, t gave certificates of election to the dele- < crates in the Kansas Legislature, and whoth- i sr Whiteield was legally elected or not, < Reeder is estopped by common law and i jommon sense from impeaching his election.

" ,4U the Wiliuot Proviso attached ? If we could only get our young men into Kansas, many of tlieni would locato there permanently, and it is difficult to estimate :ho benefit which would accrue to tlie South Yom the settlement of even one Southerner, with his vote, liis influence, and the confilence ho would infuse into our friends now here, aud anxiously looking to us for sympathy and support. I enclose together with this a letter from Sen. Whitfield touching this subject. Let me urge you to advocate, in your paper, the organization of companies of emigrants to Kansas. L?-t the men go in companies, regularly officered, all pledged ;o remain two years in the Territory, and irmed and equipped with a club-axe and a -i tie. Let n n.nii of character, and one who is a freeholder in the District, and who is ;xpocted to return immediately upon the irrival of the emigrants in Kansas, be ap)ointed treasurer of the funds raised by rontribution and '.titended to pay tlio bills I )f transportation, <tc, Lot him bo required o keep a regular account, and to take vouch:rs for every expenditure, and upon the arrival of the emigrants in Kansas let him be lirected to distrioute the residue of the unds equally among the men, taking the eceipt of each for his- proportionate hare. Ilis report should be made to a ommittee of the citizens at home. i nave time only to sketch the outline of i plan whk-li could be easily perfected by onferenee. There will bo no difficulty in aising money enough to lake out a conitany of one hundred men into Kansas, nor lo I think there would be difficulty in geting the men, if the right persons would go o work in earnest about the matter. We an defend our peculiar institution with less xpenditure of blood and treasure in this unnner than in any other way. But I am otning to the conclusion that there are oine of our people who find it easier to loint out abuses, and take more pleasure in inding fault with their agents, than in takng hold of the handle* of the plow and vorking out their deliverance in the most atinnal, peaceful and effectual mode that t. ? * :an i>e suggesied. If an effort is made in your District to >rganize a company of emigrants, you may ?ut down for me one hundred dollars, and [ will give the same nmount to any compaiy of a hundred men that may go from lither of the Districts I represent I am yours sincerely, P. S. BROOKS. [?0* TUE INDEPKNDEJfT PHE8S.] An Acre of Corn. Cokesbury, S. C., Dec. 4, 1855. Messrs. Editors :?We.promised many riends and numerous visitors who honored is with a call to take a look at a lot of corn, ilanted and worked according to our no ions of culture, that we woulil publish the lumber of bushels and the quantity of land. Wo grew on one acre and three-eights f an acre one hundred and forty-three inshels of corn. The average yield was ne hundred and four bushels per acre, "he corn was measured in the presence of lie Rev. Joel Townsend. The Rev. Iound attended the survey. We are confident that the ordinary yield >f the laud would not exceed twelve bushels, ritb ordinary culture and unaided by mamre. It is worse than folly to cultivate o much land to the hand, as is generally lone, and gather such a scant yield. It is nore than madness to waste our. physical nergies in destroying alf the forest land, ,nd exhausting our intellectual vigor and nergy by perpetual "masterly inactivity." Phe above quantity of corn was grown by. leep and thorough plowing before planting, ind by plowing our manure well down in be subsoil, so as not to be exposed to the lireet rays of a summer's sun. The p!6w rasbut twice nsed after the Qorn was plantid. Five furrows were run to every six eet the first plowing, and three the last. The hoe wasmsed but once, to remove anv ? " * rraas and weeds left by the plow, and to evel the ground about the com. If farm>r* would take time and have their land >roperly prepared, the after culture would >e light. This plowing so deep and teartiff, breaking anjl lacerating the tender ootsof the corn, foaa about aa much reason n it, according to our notion of things, ju breaking the bones, and tearing and I ace ritingthe arteries and nerves of the bodies md limbs of children to makrtfcem grow tronger and faster.

OIJEb, In this District, on :51st October ln9t, fit the residence of Mr. A. Murphy, of bilious fever, WILLIAM CARSON PATTERSON, in the 31st year of his age. The deceased was the second son of Josiah Patterson, with whom he lived until a few weeks previous to bis death. Being in the midst of a prevailing fever, lie was welcomed, with Samaritgn kindness, t.o the houso where he died. Notwithstanding all the attention of friends, he lived but a short time after his removal, warning us that "The battle of our life is brief, The alarm?the struggle?the relief." lie lived a strictly moral life until his eighteenth year ; but not leaning on that fatal stalf which pierces the souls of thousands with everlasting miseries, he sought salvation in Christ, made a public profession of his faith, and was baptized a member of the Buffalo chinch in 1848. llo thenceforward lived in "newness of lifo," uncontaminatcd hj- the plague-spots which deform the diameter of so inuiiy who make louder professions than he did. Ilia whole life savored of such a moral consistency?such an lindcviating tenor?that none who knew him could douht the genuineness of his profession. One thing seemed to weigh heavily on his mind ?the welfare of his father, whose hearthstone had been made desolate by the death of a fond wife?now eoon to be mado "doubly desolate" by the death of a son. He died as he had lived, with full confidence in his Savior?with that tranquility which rests upon the countenance of the true Christian, in his triumph over death, "Ilis sun went down in cloudless skies. Assured upon the morn to rise In lovelier array." J.
