In the Northern part of White county there has dwelt for several years past a genuine her- J mit; a man who goe3 by the name of Vm. Fuller, when a name is necessary, but of whom very little is known.

The spot is described as one wild and romantic in the extreme. Savage, ragged hills abound in the district, which is almost a wilderness. Here dwells our ancho rite, the nearest human habitation some fonr or five miles from bis solitary huf. A little plat of ground, singularly rich and fertile, and of probably three acres in extent, suffices for the wants of this strange being. Cultivated with great care and attention it produces an abundance of corn, potatoes and other vegeta bles, which are carefully harvested and stowed away for the winter. Here, secluded from the world, its burrv and passion seldom penetrat ing his retreat, lives one who seems to possess little sympathy with the., mass of his fellow creatures.

True, a barren, sandy soil will often grow quite a crop of sorrel!, but then | the sotrell don’t grow as well as if would on j richer lands if it were permitted to grow at ail on them. Farmers usually select light, gravelly soil for the growth of beans, believing they wilt produce a more abundant crop on that than on richer, stronger lands. But we venture the opinion that they make a mistake in the selec tion of such soils for their beans. A corres pondent of the Country Gentleman, writing from Orleans county, N. Y., says : “It is pretty well understood in this country that white here, I would vote against admitting any such man to a seat.” Mr. Lincoln took the correct view of this matter. These carpet-baggers are not the representatives of the Southern people and Southern sentiment. They are not themselves j respectable citizens,” and were not elected by “respectable citizens,” but have been elect ed at the point of the bayonet, which Mr. Lin coln very truly characterized as “disgraceful and outrageous.” It is so in every meaning of the word. Of course these carpet-baggers, the asso ciates of negroes, are, as a class, the very “ A Ji UW'ILI "IU(»U I I tiilC* VVUI'W J t‘iui »» •'***■ I » micj ^ — 7 * beans do the best on a rather heavy or clayey ; lowest of God s creation—“very mean whites,’ •i i • 1 .1 • l_ 1. _ . » : I l.... r <*nnf nlnofoH Kntl P(i soil.

The interior was warm and comfortable, but the few articles of furniture were all of rustic manufacture; a crackling fire was blazing on the hearth of the cabin, its bright blaze diffu sing a glow of warmth, and giving the rude apartment an appearance of snugness and se curity not unpleasant after a whole day’s tramp across the country.

A far better plan to keep off tbe cut-worms is to drop a tablespoon ful of coarse salt upon the top of each hill soon after planting. This is carried down by the rains, and acts as a fertilizer besides de stroying the cut-worm. Salt is peculiarly obnoxious to this class of insects,and perhaps all classes.—Practical Farmer. A Good Cow. The American Stock Journal has the follow ing upon a cow owned by Mr. McFarlane in Brusbland, Pa.: fpiritualisia made Profitable. Spiritualism is on its trial in London in the person of that most marvellously favored of its embodied representatives, Daniel D. Home. The story of Mr. Home’s fortunate windfall, in the shape of an immediate plumb of 8J300.000 and the prospective inheritance of $750,000, is well known. Mrs. Lyon, how - ever, purposes to make a sequel which will not be so pleasant. She repents her hasty liberality, and brings suit to undo it. As she tells the story, when her husband was on his death-bed in 1859, he predicted that they would meet ut seven years, and she firmly believing in his prescience, expected death at that time. Falling in with a spiritu alist, however, she was informed that it was not necessary to die in order to meet her hus band, bat simply to visit Horae’s Athensenm. Thither she went, and under the great medi um's potent fingers, the husband rapped out: “My own beloved Jane! I am Charles, your beloved husband. I live to bless you, my own precious darling. I am with you always. I love, love, love you.” Furthermore it con tinued: “I love Daniel; he is to be your son; he is my son, therefore 3 r ours.'’ Ecstatically kicking up its legs, the table proceeded to announce its complete happiness at the state of affairs. Mr. Home look it upon himself to explain more fully the wishes of the spirit, to the effect that Mrs. Lyon should destroy her existing will and make another in favor of the medium, bequeathing him every thing she possessed. Home assumed her name in addition to his own, the will was made, and he was put out of the danger of immediate want by the gift cf $300,000. Mrs. Lyon is well advanced in life, and Home This migratorv movement is as abnormal as it is melancholy; and, though it may portend still deeper disaster for South Carolina, it is not surprising. Let us hope, however, that it will prove to he only temporary, and that this dejected and unhappy State is destined yet to experience a situation which will invite immi gration, in>tead of repelling its own popula tion. Meanwhile, a few salient facts,, political and statictieal, afford a ready explanation of I the movement. There i< no other Southern | State except South Carolina, unless Florida be [ one, in which the nufnerical predominance of j the negroes is great and decided. There are four hundred thousand of this population in South Carolina against three hundred thou sand whiles. Politically this proportion is made much greater by disfranchisement under the reconstruction law, and by the frauds of Radical registration; the registered white vo ters of the State being only about forty thou sand, whereas, its registered negro voters are upwards of eighty thousand. Those whites who are prone to emigration by reason of these facts are doubtful of the success of a struggle against such numerical odds. It is not th* mere game of political ascendancy which they are prepared to throw up in des pair. The carpet bag Radicals have no iiupre- scriptable charter to colored voters in South Carolina any more than in Virginia or Louisi ana. The political status of the negro once out of the question, it is by no means impro bable that the policy of Wade Hampton and other South Carolina Conservatives, based on the recognition ot identity of interests, will at length prevail, and that a majority of the col ored voters and a majority of the white voters will work harmoniously together, and form the preponderant political powers in the State.— But all this is involved in a problem of the future. In the interim, negro supremacy, or ganized by carpet bag Radicalism, looms up as a baleful certainty, disturbing society, paraly zing industry, depreciating property, -closing every avenue and suppressing every element of hopeful, prosperous activity. Hence this impulse of emigration. It is significant that the emigrants in this case do not seek homes in foreign countries, in the \\ 7 est, c>r in the far North ; but that they turn toward Virginia, in a somewhat higher latitule, indeed, but where they may find a sympathetic public opinion, a climate and a soil not much different from their own, and social elements, including a considerable colored ingredient, such as they leave behind them. They are not repelled by the negro Ul vcw.u.v have no fear of its predominance there, nu merical, social, and otherwise. This is a very suggestive fact.

I’ve been up there having fun with the boys.” With a sad lmart the minister drove on, fal ling into revery on the dep*avity of man in general, and the Oohkosians in particular, when he suddenly came upon a man sitting by the side of the road. One arm was sprained, one ear had been bitten off, and, seated by the side of a puddie of water, he was seeking re lief by bathing the part affected. The minis ter was perfectly awe-stricken. Stopping his horse he inquired of the man what terrible accident had befallen him. ‘ O, not any at all,” faintly responded the bleeding wreck; “I have only been up to Osh kosh having a little fun with the boys.” “ I suppose you mean you have been engaged in some brutalizing fight,” said the minister. “Yes ” said the man, “ 1 have heard that’s what they call it down at Fond du Lac, where they are civilized; but they don’t call it by that name up at Oshkosh. There they call it having a little fun with the boys.” “ What do yon suppose your wife will saj - when she sees you?” asked the reverend gen tleman. At this the man looked up with a sardonic smii«*.
