It is really an excellent agricultural journal, and we hope may long live to do good service in the cause which itsaccomplished editor has labored so l?">ng and faithfully to promote. We arc really pleased to learn that the new literary and religious monthly lately cs xaDHStieU at hdgelield <\ H. is advancing rapidly on in its career of usefulness. It deserves it.

No lady who aims to keep up with the times Jind the fashions, (and we believe they all 1X0. i > " * ..?v tvufji m> wiiii me tasinons.) can possibly get along without this magazine. She must either take it or borrow it. The last and best fashion is to take it. Send L. A. Godey, Philadelphia, 3.00 and get the Lady' s Hook ; or the same amount to U9 and get it and the Press both. Wo have pleasure in haying that a wry encouraging beginning has been made towards the establishing of a Temperance organization in our village. The particular may bo learned bv reference to the renoit i of the meeting on Monday night, in another column. It will be seen that a public meeting is to be held in the court-house on the night of tho 27th instant, (Tuesday next.) to which ail are invited. Rev.

The article copied from the Edgefield Advertiser, in reference to the late convention of Democrats in Columbia, spooks our sentiments, and we believe those of the Convention party generally.
