Nov. Gth, 1S72. $
Having written you briefly on the
Ghost question of Surreucy, we pro
ceeded to St. Mary’s, finding the Su
perior Court in session, lion. W. M.
Sessions is the presiding Judge in that
all negroes. A full
turn-out of the voters of the couuty
would have run the number up to
near 400 votes’. Much apathy, and a
little siraight-outism, were visible.
We had the pleasure of meeting
here Hon. R. W. Phillips, the able
and distinguished Representative of
this county in the Legislature for the
past four years. lie was re-elected on
the 2d uit., for another term; and no
better or abler Representative will be
found in the next Legislature than he.
He is native of Jasper county ; a law
yer by profession; was educated at
Mercer College; and is a Christian
gentleman of the highest type. His
labors in the last Legislature are an
enduring monument to his integrity
and ability.
We opened the books here, yester
day, of the St. Mary’s & Western Rail
way Oompaoy, and received some sub
scriptions of stock. w. G. M.
IIow Pins are Made.—A corres
pondent of the Boston Daily News
thus calls attention to the pin-factory
in Winstend, Connecticut, which turns
out two million pins a day :
I wonder some poetical genius has
not immortalized himself before now
rehearsing in heroic verse the exploits
of one of these leaping, laughing
streams, as it goes rushing down from
its source in the mountain tops to the
peaceful bosom of the Connecticut.
There is no end to the versatility of
its operations, and no limit to the
amount of its product. Take, for in
stance, the stream that goes down the
gorge by Winsted and Collinsville.—
In a single nnle, as it tumbles through
Winsted, it is made to elaborate an
endless variety of articles to be distrib
uted all over the land. Not the least
interesting of its operations here is the
production of two millions of pins ev
ery day. It used to be said that there
Circuit—a great favorite with the peo
ple, who will doubtless be re-appoint- twenty tmdes to make a pin j
eJ by Gov. Smith. Thence we ac
companied the Court and the migrato
ry Bar to Trader’s Hill in Charlton
County, and attended the session of
Court in that county two days. We
> found there, that the Canal intended
to drain the Okeefiuokee Swamp has
been actually begun. We also saw
specimens of bituminous coal found at
the distance of 2G feet below the sur
face of the earth on the border of tbe
Swamp; and learned that the Swamp
abounds with the finest peat in the I
woriJ.Ii is t!i rough this drained swamp
that the St. Mary’s and Western rail
way company will soon send locomo
tives along one of the best paying
roads of the South.
While at St. Mary’s we met J. M.
Arnow, Esq., tire Democratic Senator
elect from his district, a gentleman of
hue attainments, who has had expe-
y nonce as a Legislator in Florida; is a
ready writer, a fluent speaker, and a
worthy gentleman. lie is a native of
the city of St. Mary’s, and resides
there. Mr. Ray Tompkins, the Rep
resentative elect from Camden county,
is also a sterling Democrat, and a
thorough gentleman. IliHyer, the de
feated Radical candidate and recent
member, who lost the votes of many of
the negroes even, at the October elec
tions, is bent on contesting the seat
of .Mr. Tompkins; but his chances of
success are sleuder, I imagine. In
Charlton county, the member elect, Mr.
Roberts, is a planter by profession, a
gentleman of tine practical sense, a
thorough Democrat, and possessing
unhoundud popularity in his county.
From Trader’s Hill in Charlton
county, we proceeded via. Centre Vil
lage (the principal seat of a large tur
pentine trade) to St. Mary’s, making
an excursion on the Steamer to a point
near the liar of St. Mary’s and Fer-
nandiua, aud looking in the face the
great white-capped waves of the At
lantic lashed into fury by a North-east
storm. Thence our journey led us to
Brunswick, by steamer; then, by the
famed Brunswick am! A!busy Railway
(of Hi Kimball memory) to the “Junc
tion,” as it is termed—the crossing of
that road over the fnd, Gulf
railway one mile Easfrof Tebcanville.
There we had a very pleasant inter
view with Dr. Dhtiel^fi, •a,fla| , ge
lauded proprietor *bf "fnat region,
touching the buildiug of St. Mary’s
and Western railway. A handsome
village is springing up there under the
patronage of Dr. Lott. He is dona
ting lots in the village to actual settlers
Who will improve them. It is a fine
but here is a little machine not two
feet square, which, set in motion by
the falling stream, without the touch
of human hands, takes the wires from
a reel on oue side and turns out per
fectly finished and polished pins on
the other side, at the rate of 105 per
minute, 6,000 per hour, or 60,000 per
day. Forty of these machines in the
little chamber turn out two millions
per day. The most curious part of
this machinery is for sticking them in
papers. It is not permitted to any
body to see it, and of course it can on
ly be known by its works - We are
told that the pins are thrown bj* the
bushel into a hopper, helter-skelter,
and the machine straightens them out,
parades them in regular ranks of twen
ty each, crimps the strips of paper for
them, punches them into it, and sends
them along. We can only see the
strips as they come down through a
crevice in the ceiling with their batal-
ions all in regular order, without
touch ofhand. The chief manual la
bor of the whole process is putting
them in grosses for market.
One would think the world would
be pinned altogether; but thanks to
somebody’s carelessness, they say the
demand is increasing!—Youth's Com
panion.
“Act Well Your Fart.”—Live
for some purpose in the world. Al
ways act your part well. Full up the
measure of duty to others. Conduct
yourselves so that you shall be missed
with sorrow when you are gone. Mul
titudes of our species are living in such
a selfish manner that they are not
likely to be remembered after their
disappearance. They leave behind
them scarcely any traces of their ex
istence, and are forgotten almost as
though they had never been. They
are, while they iive, like some pebble
lying unobserved among a million on
the shore; and when they die, they
are like that same pebble thrown into
the sea, which just rifles the surface,
sinks, and is forgotten, without being
missed from the beach. They are
neither regretted by the rich, wanted
by the poor, nor celebrated by the
learned. Who has been the better for
their life'? Who has been tiie better
for their death ? Whose tears have
they dried up ? Whose wants sup
plied? Whose misery have they heal
ed? Who would unbar the gate of
life to readmit them to existence ? or
what face would greet them back
&2ain. to oar world with a smile ?—
Wretched unproductive mode of ex
istence? Selfishness is its own curse;
it is a starving vice. The man who
does no good gets none. He is like
the heath in the desert, neither yield
ing fruit nor seeing when good cometb,
a stunted, dwarfish, miserable shrub.
From tbo Rural Carolinian.
• noughts aud Suggestions for the
fiXonth.
The early maturity of the cotton
crop, this season, has enabled our
planters to get most of it already
picked, and, unfortunately, too much
| or it into market; giving the impres-
1 sion, from the heavy receipts, com
pared with the same date last year, of
a much heavier crop than has really
been made. We may mistake, but
we firmly believe that those who can
hold back their crops will get better
prices. In any event, let all cotton
be ginned and baled as soon as possi
ble, so as to be able to take advan
tage of any favorable condition of the
market. The cotton is safer too in
bales than lying loose in the gin
house. A liberal use of bagging will
pay. It is poor economy to leave
parts of the sides and ends of the bales
exposed. The whole should be neat
ly covered, for even in so strictly a
non-fancy article as cotton, a tidy
package helps the sale. Having your
crop carefully ginned, well baled and
fully insured, much anxity concerning
it will be avoided. The insurance
premium is a comparatively small
matter, but it may save you from pe
cuniary ruin.
—In regard to the small grains the
views of the Rural Carolinian are well
known. We have advocated, and still
do advocate, the more extensive plant
ing of wheat, oats, rye and barley;
but we hope none of our readers will
understand us as recommending every
planter and farmer to attempt to raise
ail these grains, or any particular one
of them, regardless of the character
of his soil and other conditions affect
ing the crop. Wheat cannot be made a
paying crop on every plantation. In
the cotton belt, its success is per
haps, rather the exception than the
rule. But where it will pay, plant
wheat, by all means. Oats—getting
the red, rust-proof variety—succeed
much more generally and there are
few plantations, we believe, on which,
with the proper preparation of the
soil and early planting, they cannot
be made a profitable crop; and the
same is true of rye. Barley must
iiave a good, well enriched soil, and it
will pay to manure heavily for it. We
believe in early sowing, but better
sow any time during this month than
not at all.
—Corn in the crib is often badly
damaged by the weevil. Various rem
edies have been proposed, but per
haps none of them have proved uni
versally successful. Insects generally
dislike tiie smell of coal tar, aud a
small quantity of it in the crib will,
it is said, cause the weevils to leave.
Our own experience seems to confirm
this, for a crib, a part of which re
ceived annually, on the inside, a coat
of tar, was never infested with wee
vils. Elder leaves and sassafras chips
or leaves, thrown in with the corn,
are also said to be effective remedies,
but these we have not tried. We
should he glad to have the experience
of any reader who has, or who can
give us a sure remedy for tbe weevil
in corn.
—We cannot refrain from calling
the attention of our readers again to
the value of fall ploughing. We are
aware of the practical difficulties
which, in a cotton growing country,
lie in the way of the general applica
tion of some of the most excellent
principles of agriculture, and that it is
easier to talk of the benefits of break
ing up the soil, and turning under the
weeds and grass in the fall, than to
find the time and labor to accomplish
it. While there is cotton to pick,
what else can be done? The fact re
mains the same. It is a most desira
ble thing to break up corn and cotton
land in the fall. Let those who can do
so try it.
—A patch of rye, (drilled in,) for
cutting as green feed during the win
ter, and the early part of spring, should
never be lacking on any plantation or
farm, large or small; aud there should
also be a winter pasture of rye or bar-
iey sown broadcast. These should
have been planted in September or
October, but it is not yet altogether
too late. The land must be well man
ured to give satisfactory results. He
can hardly be called a good farmer
who neglects to provide, in every pos
sible way, for the sustenance and com
fort of his stock.
—Ditching, draining, building fen
ces, making composts, and the general
clearing up work of the plantation or
farm, are in order any time during the
fail aud winter, when nothing else
may press. The later these necessary
operations are put off', the less likely
they are to be well done, and the
greater the danger that crops will fail
tor the lack of the wasted manure, or
for want of proper drainage in the
laud, or he destroyed by stock, be
cause fences, which ueeried rebuilding,
were merely patched. If there be any
time when there is nothing to do on
the plantation or farm, we never
fouud it out; and, thanks to our fine
climate, there is no time when we
cauuot work.
Duluth, Minnesota, is a wonderful
instance of the rapidity with which
cities grow up in the West. The old
est inhabitant has been there about
eleven years, and is selliug corner lots,
bought at SI 25 per acre at that time
for S1000, and considers it cheap.—
The commercial excellence of Duluth
is its harbor—the latter opened to
navigation by means of a canal across
the bar, 1200 or 1300 feet iu length,
270 feet wide, and 14 feet deep—so
three or four vessels.can pass through
al^reas^ of each other. Those who
have considered Duluth as a myth
have only to make a'visit to the town;
and find themselves located in what
is in some ’respects a first class hotel,
at SI per day, and almost, as Gen.
Sheridan once said, meals extra, to be
satisfied of tbe reality of the place.
Surcau Estimate of the Wheat Crop
Expected Yield o£2iU,000,LOO UosLeia.—Curious and
Interesting Details.
Washington, Oct. 24.—A synop
sis of the October crop report of J. R.
Lodge, Statistican of the Department
of Agriculture, indicates the compara
tive production of wheat, oats and
barley and the coudition of the corn
crop on the first of October. The re
cord ofthe yield of wheat is quite as va
riable as was that of its condition dur
ing the summer. Some States have
made superior crops, aud others al
most the poorest ever grown. The
New England States have nearly sus
tained their .usual average. The Mid
dle States and Maryland together have
reduced their last year’s aggregate
from tbir y-seven million bushels to
twenty-four, or thirty-five per cent.
The Southern States from Virginia to
Tennessee, which were known to have
increased largely their wheat area, ap
pear to have enlarged their production
50 per cent., or from 18,000,000
bushels to 27,000,000. California has
increased her product at least 75 per
cent.; Minnesota and Iowa have made
a material increase, while Missouri
and Kansas, the former growing win
ter wheat mainly, the latter both
winter and spring, have had a com
parative failure in both varieties. Vir
ginia and Kentucky have had good
crops, while Maryland and Ohio re
turn diminished yields, as dw&- the
entire district between the Ohio and
the lakes, the Miami and the Hud
son.
Returns havo been received from
counties representing a large propor
tion of wheat of each State which in
dicate an increase of about 5 per cent
over product of last year, which wa3
estimated at 230,000,000 bushels. It
is probable that the completed esti
mate will not fall short of 240,000,000
bushels, upon an area of a little less
than twenty million acres. This will
make the yield between
Twelve and Thirteen Bushels per Acre
which may be considered an average
for the United States. Th«. increase
in States west of the Mississippi ap
pears to be about 15 million bushels,
or in comparison with last y.ear’s pro
duct S5 million to seventy millions
bushels. The central line of wheat
production running north and south
is this year farther west than ever be
fore, and is nearly identical with the
90th meridian which divides centerally
States of Wisconsin and Illinois. Near
ly all the wheat produced between
this lino kid the Mississippi river is
grown in the western half of these
two States.
The Quality of Wheat
is in most of the States better ’than
last year. The per centage of product
in comparison with last year iu each
of the States is as follows :
Maine 109, New Hampshire 93, Ver
mont 95, Massachusetts 90, Connec
ticut 96, New York 70, New Jersey
80, Pennsylvania <50, Delaware 75,
Maryland 66, Virginia 101, North
Carolina 136, South Carolina 113,
Georgia ISO, Alabama 133,Mississippi
101, Texas 320, Arkansas 102, Ten
nessee 200, West Virginia 104, Ken

Indiana 101, Illinois 98, Wisconsin
121; Minnesota 130, Iowa 112, Mis
souri 60, Kansas 80, Nebraska 140,
California 175, Oregon 108.
In States^here the crop was short
last year, as Kentucky and Texas,
the per cent, of increase is heavy, la
California it is mainly due to an in
crease of area and a superior rate of
yield.

The Unpunctual Sex.
The London Civilain thus laments:
No lady is ever punctual, do lady ever
yet had the remotest idea of the dura
tion of five minutes, or an hour, or
any other longer or shorter space
of time. Indeed this supreme indiffer
ence in a matter which men are taught
to regard as of vital importance, at
once stamps the superior sex as above
and beyond the control of mere con
ventional rules. Men’s actions are
governed by time; it is the most im
portant element which enters into
busiuess calculations. The wild rush
of the locomotive is governed aud its
safety assured by attention to
to time. Time for the male animal
denotes the position of a ship upon
the ocean, or tells the traveler his path
in the trackless desert. But a woman
is alwans above the vulgar aids which
are found indispensable by the mere
animal man. Time never enters into
her calculations, or occupies a single
moment of her thoughts. She is al
ways late when she keeps an appoint
ment. She devotes precious hours to
dressing, and will any day lose a train
for the sake of putting on her gloves.
The odd thing is that she never thinks
of the irritation which she causes by
her disregard for the rules of punctual
ity. A gentleman who grumbles be
cause he has had to wait an hour while
the fair object of bis affections is put
ting on her bonnet is “a brute.” Time
indeed passes with wonderful quick
ness while the fair one is displaying
her ribbons before the glass, or trying
the effects of color or the grace of fold
of'some new addition to her wardrobe.
We are quite willing to allow that the
fault of uon-pnnctuality, if it be indeed
a fault, is one of a very venial charac
ter. The aberrations of the fbminine
mind, like the raovementor thespheres,
admit of some approach to calculation;
and although the most experieaced ob
server may sometimes fail to tell what
portion of her orbit a lady may occu
py at any given hour of the day, he
may make a pretty accurate guess
sometimes by the aid of the useful
rule of contraries.
Box. J. P. Bkmjamui.—This gentleman, late
Confederate Secretary of State, as was announced
by cable a few days since, has, at the instance ot
the Lord Cbanceilor, keen raised to the rauk of
Queen’s Counsel—the leader of the English bar.
The hopes raised on Sunday by the
fine state of the weather, which it was
reasonable to prophesy for yesterday,
were not fullfilled, and livery-stable
owners, express companies, truck pro
prietors, and merchants who have
goods to transport throughout the city
were generally despondent. For the
horse epidemic, instead of being mitiga
ted in its form and violence, seemed to
have increased in both, and where only
sick horses, were reponed on Satur
day, dead horses were found yesterday.
Various fatal cases, something over
200 in number, were reported at the
different precincts yesterday morning,
and intelligence of more were hourly
coming in. Several of the leading
physicians of the Board of Health ex
press the opinion that the disease will
not remain where it is at present, but
before long mankind may expect to
suffer from its effects.
The cars and stages on most of the
lines, however, were running, with the
number of trips greatly reduced, so
that the chief difficulty lay with the
merchants. Draymen are becoming
comparatively millionaires—those of
them who have horses to work. Along
the North River piers merchandise is
piled up in huge heaps. More than
half the cargo of the Baltic Lloyd’s j
steamer Franklin, which arrived last!
Wednesday, still lies on the wharf,
and there is no immediate prospect
that horses can be obtained to move
it.
Thousands of cotton bales remain in
the different slips, and merchants are
compelled to pay fabulous prices to
have them removed. At Pier 20 East
River 81 a bale was paid, and one
person received $26 for carrying a
single load. The wharves of the Bos
ton and Providence steamboat tyie are
literally covered with freight, some of
which has been lying there for days.
The officers of the New Jersey Rail
road Company say that an immense
quantity of freight is awaiting ship
ment at the pier used by that corpora
tion.
Business, especially in flour, has
been almost brought to a stand-still.
Carmen are having a full “swing,”
and are obtaining as high as SI per
barrel for hauling. Purchases made
Wednesday and Thursday, for which
orders were given, were thrown up
and orders returned because of the dif
ficulty of obtaining drayage. Private
telegrams from different parts of the
State on the line of the canal are con
stantly received, and are of the same
alarming nature as those to hand on
Wednesday and Thursday.
It is feared by merchants that the
stock of breadstuff’s in the city will
soon be exhausted if the horses on the
canal should give out. There is a
movement on foot to prepare for any
emergency, and place steam tugs on
the canal if necessary. Parties largely
interested in the grain trade have fears
that they will not be able to meet
their obligations. The butter, cheese
and bop trades have also been greatly
affected by the malady; some shipping
houses were compelled to suspend.
The grocery trade also feels the want
of trucks.
The progress of the epidemic a-
mong the horses of the fire depart
ment is so great as to give grounds for
serious alarm when the possible con
sequences are considered.

A Grand American Newspaper En-
terprise.—The St. Louis Republican,
one of the most influential newspa
pers published in the West, has recent
ly had erected one of the most com
plete and handsomest offices ia the
world. As a befitting accompaniment,
the proprietors to meet the growing
demands for their popular paper, have
just added to their establishment one
of the famous Waiter, or London
Times' printing machines, capable of
printing 15,000 to 17,000 copies of
the Republican per hour. On account
of the peculiar mechanical construc
tion of this wonderiul press—printing
from a continuous roll of paper—tbe
form ol.the Republican has been chang
ed to an eight page paper. The Repub
lican has aiso added the sterotyping
process, which has been brought to
such perfection that plates of the full
pages of the paper are cast in a few
minutes, aflordiygfaciiicies for the pro
duction of any nupiber of the copies of
the paper duplicate or triplicate.
President Grant was absent from Washington
one hundred and twenty-due days in 1871, and
still a greater number daring the current year.—
