The Planting Interest.
From all we can hear, planters in this
section are preparing with less hope than
last year, but not with less energy, anoth
er cropping. Moat of them will perhaps
have greater difficulties to encounter than
confronted them last year. We think that
their stock of provisions is, upon an aver
age, shorter—their supplies of money very
little increased —while the chances for
loans and accommodations are worse.—
With money at two and half per month,
and everybody in a strait, affairs niuut im
prove vastly before advances of cash or ex
tended credits on provision purchases can
bo reasonably expected by the planter;
and, at the same time, the result of one
year’s trial under the new system, has sen
sibly diminished public faith in the secur
ity of debts which must.be paid outof nett
profit-*.
The fact is, the planter should abandon
forever the old idea of operating on a year’s
credit. In the olden time the capital in
vested in his slaves furnished ample secur
ity, as readily transmitable into cash as
his cotton crop. Now, he can offer none
beyond the lands he cultivates (if he owns
them), and these are slow of sale. It is of
vital importance, therefore, that the plan
ter should be in condition to assume his
risks. He must lay by, from year to year,
abundance of corn and meat to provision
his force, and money enough to supply
theiroperativenecessities. A fargreaterne
cessity is imposed upon him to provide well
for the future, than existed at the time
when he owned his own laborers, and they,
in fact, constituted a capital as available as,
and more productive than, money at In
terest.
lu this view of the matter, many will
feel, this year far more pungeutly than ever
before, the mistake of failing to make am
ple provision for food crops, and we can
not doubt that it is an error which will be
carefully avoided in the future. The neces
sity of buying and transporting large sup
pliesof corn and meat to the plantation, will
prove so grievous and oppressive that we
cannot believe a single Georgia planter
will fail of giving his sharpest attention to
the corn fleid uud thestock. With plenty
of meat and bread, and a stock of money
enough to supply the current wants of his
laborers in clothing, tobacco, &c., the road
is clear 'or- a fair and comfortable agricul
tural experiment, without importuning
money lenders and tradesmen to assume
your risks of a crop failure, and chargo ac
cordingly. Let each planter, therefore,
during the present season, devote his first
care to laying a solid foundation for future
operations, and the road thereafter will be
comparatively smooth and easy.
We are pleased to note a growing de
maud for guano and chemical manures.—
Considering the poverty of the country,
tbo market for these products is remarka
bly active, aud we are confident that all
our planters will find It to their account to
cultivate less land, with greater care and
thoroughness. A deep and thorough pul
verization of the soil, with the use of mau
ures of all kinds [one can hardly go far
amiss iu the selection] will produce sur
prising results. We published a statement,
the other day, w here au acre of light sandy
soil was made to produce over five thous
and pounds of seed cotton. We believe it
will be found easier aud cheaper to raise
twenty bushels of corn on oue acre than
on two. But let every man try the experi
ment, if but on a small scale, and satisfy
•.himself. / \ r
Important Document.
We present the reader this morulng with
the veto tness tge of the President to the
Negro-Suffrage Bill for the District for Co
lumbia. It was telegraphed to us, in full,
by the U. S. and Earopeau News Associa
tion, and was in our hands, arid iu type,
probably, before the reading of it ha 1 been j
completed iu the Senate, and we placed it ,
before our city readers iu an extra f .rth- j
witl). Tiie promptitude displayed by the j
U. 8. and European News Association iu ;
this matte-demands our heartiest thanks, j
We are glad to see this Association dis
playing such vigorous efficiency.
The veto will, of course, be overruled in
both Houses, but the luminous argument
of the President will never be answered,
and is unanswerable, riuch of the Ameri
can people as are not totally blinded by
party zeal, bigotry and fanaticism, will be
compelled to a Unit that this is another
case iu which reason has succumbed to
force. We will take some oilier occasion
to say our say upon the matter.
The Impeachment.
According to Washington reports, the
resolutions impeaching the President were
to be brought before the House of Repre
sentatives to-day. (Monday). There is
some doubt about their fate, but mean
while the aglt >tion of the subject ban ex
ercised an unsettling effect upon the Bouth
ern State stocks, and the minds of the men
of mouey.
B^-Tho Charleston Daily News comes
<to us iii a changed form, (from octavo to
folio,) which, we apprehend, gives It more
the appearance of the real, live paper it
is.
We have also received the first number
of the Marietta Journal, a weekly recently
commenced in the town whence It derives
Its name. It bids fair to be a sprightly
sheet, aud has our best wishes for its suc-
OOttS.
A Grand Be heme. —A writer in the
Columbus Enquirer recommends the con
solidation ofalltlie lailroads from Mar
shall, Texas. There are but two gaps, It
is asserted, to ninke the connection com
plete. One between Union Springs and
Montgomery and the other between
Montgomery and Selma. It is recom
mended that the presidents of these roads
eali a convention of the stockholders in
order to amalgamate all in one, to be call
ed the “Southern Pacific Railroad,” and
to complete the line to Sau Francisco,
California.
teT Female suffrage, recently the sub
ject of an interesting debate in the United
States Senate, Is to be urged iu Great Bri
tain. Two monster petitions are to be
presented to Parliament in favor of re
moving those restrictions which at pres
ent debar women from voting for mem
bers of that body. One of these petitions
is to be signed exclusively by unmarried
women and widows, qualified to vote for
members of Parliament in ail respects but
that 01 sex, and the other by persons of
both atxes and classes who favor the ex
tension of the suffrage to women.
Congressman Lawrence, of Ohio,
in a House debate with reference to re
ceiving the $3,000 extra compensation,
denounced the measure and asked for its
repeal. Being asked if lie bad not taken
his $3,000 lie said he “had taken it in obe
dience to tiie Constitution, whose require
ments lie had taken an oath to support.”
It is understood that Mr. James Gordon
Bennett has rec*-< tly undergone an opera
tion for strabismus, and considering the
advanced age of the patient (79) the o per
son was attended with the most gratify
_g success.
Congress.
While telegrams aud letter-writers con
cur in representing the temper of the ma
jority in Congress a# equally radical and
inexorable, much hope is expressed that,
after all, the scheme of abrogating the
Southern State governments will fail,
either through the inherent difficulties of
its execution, or by the judgment of the
Supreme Court It is doubted whether
the party can be so perfectly compacted
and harmonized upon the territorial meas
ure, in any shape, as to carry it over an
Executive veto; and the opinion is ex
pressed that, if adopted at all, it will as
sume a prospective form and be presented
to the Soiithern States in the shape of
alternative to a persistent refusal to adopt
the constitutional amendment through
another course of legislative sessions.
This Idea is held out by the more mod
erate and conservative among the radicals,
aud is the mildest course yet suggested by
any leading members of the majority.
The New York Herald, which is a good
weather-cock, and heralded the advent of
the session with a vehement editorial in
favor of anew invasion and military oc
cupation of tbo Southern Btates, has
gradually veered round into a policy of
masterly inactivity, aud has now been
steadily pointing in that direction for
about three weeks. This it would not do
a minute if it believed the radicals could
carry through the territoiial policy. ■ The
Herald has a chronic hatred of minori-
ties, aud its forecast alone is in fault when
it is caught advocating uu unpopular and
unsuccessful pioject iu politics. Add to
this lestimouy, direct aud iucidental, the
opinions attributed to the President aud
his Cabinet in favor of the ultimate tri
umph of the existing State organizations,
aud there seems to be some reasonable
ground of hope that we may escape the |
misfortunes with which we are so immi-
nently threatentd.
But, on the other baud, the discipline
of the rudical par.y was never more stern !
and perfect than it is now, and there is
the greatest reason to doubt whether eveu ;
the smallest minority cau be found cour- :
ageous enough to oppose any system of
measures the party may agree upon.— j
The dissentents of the last session have
been remorselessly crushed. The party
baa received anew and signal popular en
dorsement, aud are stimulated to the
most perfect harmony aud co-operatiou
by the personal hopes, fears aud ambitious
springing out of the approaching Presi
dential election. We have every reason
to believe that its uuiou will be more per
fect than it was at the last session. In
deed, the passage of the District Franchise
bill, which last session feared to pass, is
proof of greater harmony aud greater
| boldness; audit is, moreover, a measure
I quite as radical aud aggressive in cbarae
' ter as any oue in contemplation by the
: radicals iu regard to the States. The most
| which can be said of it, iu way of apology,
; is that the scope of its operation is very
limited.
This double and hasty view of the situ
ation, aud of future probabilities aud pos
sibilities, is the best we can take. There
is some grouud for hope, aud the most
reasonable cause for apprehension. The
States, if possible, should propose in the
last resort to test the constitutionality of
any set of Congress destroying them, be
fore the Supreme Court. It is reasonable
; to suppose, indeed, that the Administra
| tion will itself seek the judgment of that
tribunal, before ignoring or violating its
guarantees of protection to the Southern
j .State governments. Belf-respect and good
| faith would seem to demand this much at
< the hands of the Executive; but it is also
the evident duty of the States to exh iust
every legal remedy to maintaiu their own
vitality. The Supreme Court may do it,
if all other agencies fail. Let us hope so.
Savannah and Charleston Hail- j
road. —The Char eston News of the 28th \
says: “The preliminary steps were taken, :
a few days since, fur the organization of
this company, a charter for which was ob- ;
taioed at the last session of the General
Assembly of the rttate. The company will
be composed of those who werethe holders ;
of the second lien, first mortgage, boudsof I
thelateCharleston and Savannah Railroad 1
Company, for whose benefit the road was .
purchased at the late sale made iu this i
city. Itis the iuteution of the gentlemen !
who have the matter iu charge, immediate
ly after the organization, to take steps to
put the whole road between Savannah and
Charleston iu complete running order.— I
We hail this as an auspicious oiuen of pro- i
gress, aud a sure sign that there is life in !
the old land yet.”
Order in Ireland.—in the midst of
the greatest political excitement, Ireland j
is wonderfully free from crime. Bo light j
is the calendar in Dublin, that one of the
judge# said a few dajs ago he “narrowly
escaped a pair of white gloves.” The
streets of Cork were never so quiet as at
present. There is an utter absence of the
rowdyism that hitherto prevaled, especi
ally on Sunday nights aud Monday morn
ings. In the worst of times, Irish crime
consisted for the most part of the class of
offences which spring from poverty, aud
of agrarian disturbances; but of late years
it is almost the rule witli the judges at each
assize to compliment the grand jurors ou
the state of their counties. And never has
the peaceable and oiderly condition of
the country been more marked than it was
while Feniamsm was at its height last
year and than it is now. Lord Kimberly,
in his celebrated speech in the House of
Lords, has referred to this fact, and stated
that Fenianism was entirely free from
connectiou with the ordiuary forms of
criminality.—-V. Y. Express.
Supposed Murder.—On the 22d of De
cember last, an old lady, named Mrs. Mary
Stevens, disappeared from her home, on
the Louisville road, about ten milts from
the city, and since than has not been heard
of. Tiie old lady was about sixty years of
age, and had an only child, a cripple, and
we believe deaf and dumb, with her, be
sides a boy, who done the chores about the
house.
The matter coming to the ear of Waring
Russell, Esq., the Jailor of Chatham coun
ty, lie informed the Justices of the Infe
rior Court, who Immediately met and au
thorized Mr. Russell to ferret out the
whole matter, it was found that the last
seen of Mrs. Btevens she was in company
with a man named Nathau Cohen, who,
it appears, used to butcher for her occa
sionally. From what we could learn, Co
hen went to the old lady’s residence, and
by some pretext or other, sent the only in
telligent person about the lions© to town,
and somehow or other induced the old lady
to go with him iu the neighborhood of the
railroad.
Mr. Russell got a clue to Cohen and
found him. He then brought the prisoner
to Jail, aud went in pursuit of two negro
women, named Ann Bryan and Laura
Walker, whom he soon captured and
brought to town. Yesterday the three
prisoners were brought before Levi S Rus
sell, who committed Cohen as the suppos
ed murderer, and the two women as ac
cessories to the fact.
The old lady was supposed to have a
great deal of gold aud silver about her,and
the man charged with her murder had done
butchering for her. The body as yet has
not been found, but Mr. Russell has sever
al parties scouring the swamps and woods
in the vicinity. —Savannah Herald,
The very last wonder is that of a parlia
ment in Egypt. Ishmail Pasha, obi
Mehemet’s grandson, is a man of progress.
He has given Egypt a Constitution, so
that its life is henceforth to be governed
and directed by a written law, instead of
tire pleasure of the monarch. This grant
is a perfectly free gift, audits provisions
generally include all classes within their
scope, Christians as well as Mussulmeu.
Good Farming.—Botpe years ago Di.
Cloud, editor of the American Cotton Plan
ter, by manuring and careful culture, raised
5,893 pounds of seed cotton to the acre on
pine land iu Macon county .Alabama. By
the same system of culture General Dun
lap. of Mississippi, picked live pounds of
seed cotton by weight Horn a single stalk.
It does pay to farm well, any where, in a
new or old country.
General News Items.
We learn from a private letter from a
friend (says the Wilmington Dispatch,) ;
that negroes lu Edgecombe County refuse, j
in many instances, to work for slo per
month and rations, under a manager, be- j
iug desirous of farming on share i, where
they can do so without a manager over
them. And on the other hand they prefer
to w ork for wages without a manager than
upon shares under one. The Nash farm
ers are offering sl2 per month, without '
success, and it is thought many of these
laborers will drift into Edgecombe.
The developments arrived at respecting
the salt mines of Nevada are almost start
ling iu amount. A single bed there is
computed to cover fifty-two thousand
acres. It is solid rock salt, ninety five per
cent. fine. It now yields at the rate of
, two million bushels peraunum. The wa
ter rushes up at the distance of about thir
ty five feet, and makes a constant deposit
of tbo finest rock salt. It is proposed to
sink shafts at various points, in bopeß of
striking some spot where water will not
be touched, and where the salt can be
quarried, as in Hungary and Poland.
An ingenious pickpocket in the West is
said to have driven a good business by
getting ou railroad trains, refusing to pay
the fare, and then picking the conductor’s
pocket while he was putting him out.
The eight hour system doesn’t work iu '
Indianapolis, where it is enforced by the j
city and founderies. The employees are ;
paid by the hour, and don’t earn enough
to support their families.
William B. Astor, John J. Astorand W.
W. Astor, aud a great many more rich
men, are iu Washington. Tb y are said

Brigham Young said, In a late dis
course at Balt Lake : The last time I was
in the city of Lowell, Massachusetts, there
were fourioen thousand more females than
males iu that city. That is many years
ago. They live aud die in a single state,
aud are forgotten. Have they fined the
measure of their creation, and accouiplieh-
I ed the design of heaven in bringing them
upon earth? No, they have not. Two
! thousand God-fearing men should go there
and take to themselves seven wives apiece.
1 3? A lunatic, from Knightstown, lud., on

which he tendered iu payment, with a
! modest request that they would pay him
| the balance in cash. his name
: to the check, “C. C. Thorpe, Cashier,”
; and when asked what bank he was cash
! ier of, he replied," all of ‘cm.”
A Second Grace Darling.—The
Providence Press has the following: “On
Tuesday last, while the wind was blowing
a gale from the southeast, tbtee men start
ed ott in a frail skiff from the shore at the
lower end of the inner harbor of Newport,
to rescue a 6beep which had by some
means got adrift, but owing to the gale
they were neither able to reach the
or return to the shore, and were fast beiug
swept of into rough wt ter, where tbeir
skill’ must inevitably have swamped. In
inis situation they were discovered by
Miss Ida Lewis, daughter of Capt. Honoa
Lewis, keeper of Lime Rock Light, who
at once took the light-house boat and put
off to their relief. She reached the men,
took them from the skiff, which she took
iu tow, aud afterward went in quest of
and saved the sheep, and landed the whole
safely on terra firma. This is not the
first act of this description performed by
this young lady.
A Drew Tcrtle in a Cow’s Stomach.
—We are informed by oue of our city
butchers that, upon killiug a cow for beef
one day last week, he discovered a live
mud turtle, measuring about six inches
across the back, in her stomach. The tur
tle could not, by any possibility, have got,
iuto the cow’s stomach while it was the
size it was when it was discovered, and
it must have been swallowed by the
animal while drinking, and remained in
her stomach for months, if not for years.
The turtle only lived about ten hours after
being taking out. Its shell was very much
eaten awuy by the acids of the stomach.
This is a case for the savans.— Milwaukee
Sentinel.
What a Whale Can Do.—During a
recent cruise of the United Btates steamer
Mohican, on the coast of Brazil, the back
of a large fish was seen iu the sea, a short ;
distauce from the vessel. Bhortly after- 1
wards the engines were suddenly stopped
and all the steam that could be put on 1
would not force them ahead. Upou mak
ing examination it was found that the j
large fish, which proved to be a‘ whale,
wa-i jammed between the propeller and 1
the frame. The whale bad, for the time, j
overcome steam power.
What Mere Trifles Cost.—Tbeßev.
F. B. Bharpe, West HobokeD, N. J., in a
recent sermon, said:
Luxury need never plead with her vo
taries Every heart and every purse are
open when the Devil presents his entice
ments. Civilized man drinks every year
I 30,000,000 bottles of genuine and 15,000,000
| of spurious champagne ; or nearly $200,-
i 000,000 worth. Yet the total expenses of
| Christain propagation may be roughly es
l timated at not more than that sum, if
| half us much. Tobacco is fiattseous to
every unsophisticated sense of man, a
| medicine as strychnine is a medicine; but,
j on the highest medical authority, the ori
gin of nine out ofevery teu cases, of real
I heart disease, original or inherited—a con
i centrated dropof whose essential princi
pie, if placed on the tongue of a dog, will
cause him to die in convulsion. It de
stroys the power of mastication by drain
: ing the salivary glands, and by its excit
ing properties is the gentlemau usher of
intoxicating drink. Bo loug ago as 1860
' there were raised in the Uuited Btates
1 199,000,000 pounds, or what would now be
| equivalent to about $200,000,000 worth,
! and it is safe to say that the present con
sumption is nearly $300,000,000. Suppose
an ordinary case : A business niau uses
four or sometimes many more cigars, a
day, worth 15 cents each, or sls or S2O a
pound; this, of itself, leaving out pipes,
chewing tobacco, lost time, and lost op
portunities, at the very lowest estimate,
$250 a year.
Northern and Southern Agricul
ture. —The United States Commissioner
of Agriculture thus expresses his opinion
of the relative advantagesof Northern and
Southern agriculture:
In the South it is hoped that the great
mistake of the past, the concentration of
labor mainly upon a single and grand di
vision of productive Industry, will be
avoided. In political economy, thesmall
er products of a diversified iudustry are
far more than an equivalent for a single
result of organized labor, however absorb
ing important. Tiie cotton crop, for ex
ample, of the Empire Stale of the South,
in 1860, was 701,840, bales yielding little
more than $30,000,000, while the butter
trade of New York, in 1865, one of the sev
eral products of the dairy, was estimated
at $60,000,000 ; and yet the census gives to
New York but 370,914 farmers and farm
laborers, and to Georgia, including white
farmers and farm laborers, and only the
males of slaves, 316,378 persons engaged in
agriculture. Besides the other dairy pro
du ts, tnilk, cream and cheese and the
multitude of smaller products of the farm,
the principal crops make an outstanding
aggregate—as in 1864, when the corn crop
of New York was estimated at $38,0:>0,000,
the wheatat $25,000,000, the oats at $33,000,-
000, potatoes at $19,000,000, hay at $90,000,-
000. Including the minor cereals, pro
ducts of orchards and gardens, the pro
duction of beef and mutton from pastur
age, and a great variety of miscellaneous
and exceptional products, the currency
value of the agricultural productions of
this one estate in that year was far greater
than the money returns of any cotton
crop ever produced in the country, ami
the gold value of such products would be
more than equivalent to the g ild value of
half the cotton crop of 1860.
Emigrants to Florida. —We learu
not only from exchanges, but from per
sons living In the interior, that the tide
of emigration to this State just now is un
precedented in her history. A gentleman
informed us a few days since that he
counted twenty-seven wagons iu one com
pany, containing emigrants and their
household goods, all bound for Marion
county. The most of these families are
from South Carolina, the impoverished
condition ol that noble old State com pel
ling them to leave the gravesjof their fath
ers and their native laud.— Fernand) na
Courier.
Criminal Statistics. —lt is a painful,
but not inexplicable fact, says the N. Y.
Times, brought under notice in the Gov
ernor’s Message, that, during tbe past
year, the number of convicts in the State
Prisons has increased by nine hundred
aud fifteeu.

How They do in the Northwest.—
A female school-teacher in Homer. Michi
gan, is said to have recently whipped a
pupil whospoke to her without leave “un
til she used up three whips nearly as large
as a man's finger.” She then had recourse
to a ferrule an inch iu diameter, with
which-she administered discipline until
her strength failed her The father of the
“disciplined” lad proceeded at once to
find this school-teacher, “aud gave her a
castigation which she will not be likely to
forget.” Os course the caso will go to the
courts.
The Freedmen.—We learn that com
paratively few contracts have been effect
ed between planters aud freedmen tor the
present year. In consequence of the great
scarcity of provisions a much less quanti
ty of land will be under cultivation during
the coming season. Many freedmen are
seeking new homes. Numbers have al
ready left for Florida, and others are get
ting ready to take the same direction. We
fear that many who remain will be unable
to obtain employment.— Orangeburg

‘•They are unrivaled for their singing qualities
and for the harmonious roominess of their tone.
There is a perleet homogeneity throughout all the

•'I bave never heard a tone so perfect: it yields
every' expression that is needed iu music, and its

My Dear Sin: Ihnve much pleasure In asking
i you to convey to Mtffisrs. Chickering the expree
' ilon of my highest approval of their instrument.
It is, I consider, not m- rely the best instrument
j of American manufacture that I have tried, but
! one of the finest Grand Plano fortes that has ever
j come tinder my oliservation; and the Messrs.
I Chickering may well be proud of having tamed
i out from their manufactory an Instrument which
; tor touch, quality, power aud workmanship, It
! would be very difficult to surpass iu any paj t ol
tho wide world.
Dear isir, very sincerely yours,
