FRIDAY MORNING, NOV, 12,1869
LARGE AND SMALL FARMS.
Mach has been said to prove the advan
tages to a people of holding large planta
tions, and much more, perhaps, has been
retorted as to the superior qualifications of
small farms. Those who farm on the large
estate system contend that capital and
skill presiding over vast tracts of land
mainly contribute to advance agriculture
and national wealth. To this it is replied
that a land monopoly is thus created for
the benefit of the few and the detriment of
the many, since your great proprietor’s
cash, like Aaron’s rod, has a tendency to
absorb every acre within reach of it. So,
in England, the large proprietors are for
ever striving to force the poor holders to
sell. Belgium is the garden of Europe,
and there agriculture is on a very small,
but very prosperous, scale, individually.
It is the fight of the rich proprietors against
their less fortunate neighbors which is
driving the Irish from their homes and
sending them adrift to America. In
this couutry we have a prodigious area
yet unsettled, and this question has not
yet grown to alarming or anxious pro
portions ; but our time will come and
it may be sooner than most people antici
pate. Not many years ago, our noble
forests were thought to be inexhaustible ;
and now we learn, from the Commissioner
of Agriculture, that there is a famine of
wood ahead of us at no distant period. So
it may be with our territory in many sec
tions ; and where men most crowd there
they will the sooner contend for elbow room
and the more energetic will strive to put
their heels upon the neck of the weaker
who are, until fully roused, always in the
majority as to numbers and in the minority
as to power.
The question so long vexing the political
economist as to the best distribution of land
for the common weal seems to have been
put to practical tests of late. In France,
when a father dies possessed of land, it is
equally divided among the heirs and no
amount in money or other personal prop
erty can be given as an equivalent. The
English say that this subdivision keeps the
people in penury ; but the answer is ready
that when Napoleon wants a loan he
goes to the small farmers for it and does
not trouble the Jew or Christian bankers.
And it has happened more than once that
the Emperor rccevled more than double
the amount he solicited from his sub
jects.
The Missouri Republican has had access
to a report of the French Commission,
which seems to settle the question in favor
of small farms. We have not space for the
Republican's deductions in full, but it may
suffice to state that the Report remarked a
notable progress in French agriculture
during the past thirty years ; but, except
ing in the departments of the Northwest,
France had not kept pace with the pro-
gress of other European countries. The
increase of the Northwestern provinces
was fully one hundred per cent, over all
other departments. Referring to the char
acter of agricultural development in those
thrifty Northwestern departments, it has
been discovered that there the small farm
system had become an extreme feature.
But material problems of this kiud usually
settle themselves, and It is but fair to sup
pose that the planters are quite as saga
cious in their way as merchants or pro
fessional men in theirs, and that the. sys
tem best adapted to fchelr welfare will be
ow« settled upon at the proper time.
Meanwhile, vie must wait for the Macon
Fair, hoping that, iq addition to..other
, useful contrlbu tioniH-ft) knowledge, we
slia.ll have soma atonal' revelations as to
tlih general andLcomparative r ro »”"
Georgians who fir?* «« larg‘d and small
Old Mb. Fisk.—The New York Herald.,
of Sunday last, coqjains a racy biography
of Fisk, Jr. Among other family matters
we find this item:
“ The father is hopelessly crazy in the
insane asylum in town. His insanity is
said to be on account of some unfortunate
and delicate circumstance connected with
his journey South while purchasing cotton
for his son.”
For a Varmout Yankee of the Fisk
model to go crazy over such a transaction
argues that the “delicate circumstance”
must have been immensely “ unfortunate.”
A Pointed Case. —At a late meeting of
the Scientific Academy of Milan, Dr. Bissi
exhibited the heart of an insane nobleman,
who died lately, and who had attempted to
commit suicide after he bad killed his
father. When dissected, a needle three
inches long was found in his heart. Be
fore death he declared that he had stabbed
himself with a needle, but nobody believed
him. He never complained of pain in the
chest or heart, and his death was caused
by cancer of the tongue, that member hav
ing been bitten off while he was in a fit of
insanity.
FMBS in Amber.— The Kink murder
has been s uperseded by a scandal involving
some of the highest families in Paris.—
Disclosures have been made which show
that the Napoleonic dynasty is propped up
by anything but chastity and honor. Men
who have a mean opinion of woman are
unfit for the administration of the affairs
of a great State, aDd the decay of virtue
in the upper classes is the preliminary to
revolution among the lower. The earth
quake is being nursed for France, and
when it is ready to burst bayonets will
not suppress it.
The “ Loil.”—Alluding to the infamy of
Mrs. Stowe, the Richmond Dispatch says:
“ We have been inclined (charitably) to
conclude that many of the extreme ‘philan
throplsts’ of the far North were mad; but
there Is a wonderful amount of method in
the madness of a goodly part of them.”
They are not mad; they are Just bad—
the “ baddest sort of bad.”
New York and Virginia.—New York
has gone to the head and Virginia to the
foot of the Democratic school. All men
hope that this is only a temporary classifi
cation. Meanwhile, let the Democracy of
New York so conduct themselves that all
the decency of the country will be glad to
join their ranks and redeem the land from
villainy. -
Binding on Butler. —En route to New
York in a sleeping car, some shrewd fellow
robbed Beast Butler of his overcoat and a
wallet containing SBOO. The Beast had to
borrow an outer garment from a negro por
ter, and, thus clad, wended his way to the
Astor House, much to his own confusion
and public astonishment. Is there really
no honor among thieves ?
Queer.— Here is an epitaph which is
at once full of resignation and ludicrously
polite:
“ She once wage mine:
And now,
To Thee, O Lord, I her resign,
And am your obedient, humble servaut,
Robert Kemp.”
A Peace Offering. —A mammoth eques
trian statue of Grant is to be erected on
the south front of the Executive Mansion.
The materials used for the purpose are the
cannon captured from the South. How
he makes us love him, this monster of
“ Peace! ”
Ominous. —The cable announces that
“ Napoleon is to spend part of the Winter
in Nice” What! is the great Emperor to
become a “ dem’d cold, moist, unpleasant
body?”
A Gat Old Trio.—At a banquet given
by Andrew Johnson, the host was flanked
on either side by Parson Brownlow and
General Stokes.
“ The turnpike road to people’s hearts I find
Lies t h rough the mouth, or i mistake mankind!’
Sick and Well.—ln health, Victor
Emmanuel made a foot-ball of the Pope
and Religion. Dying, he has become re
conciled to the one and is most anxious to
receive the consolations of the other.
Venerable. —The President of the Bank
of Northampton is 90 years of age, and the
President of the Utica (N. Y.) Savings Bank
is 97. Both are named Williams, and both
are very lively for their age.

Letter from Edgefield.
THE DEPUTY POSTMASTER ARRESTED POR
ROBBING THE MAIL—THE SCALAWAGS IN
TROUBLE.
__ »
Edgefield, C. H., S. C., >
November 10th, 1869.)
Editor Constitutionalist:
Dear Sir : The Deputy Postmaster, Da
vid T. Grice, a minor and son of Wilson
Grice, was arrested at this place, this eve
ning, upon the charge of robbing the mail
at different times within the last five
months. Wilson Grice is the Postmaster,
but owing to there being so few Radicals
at this place, Wilson Grice could not occu
py the position of steward of the Poor
House and attend to the post office, so he
placed his son, David T. Grice, here, who
is about eighteen years old, and since he
has taken charge of the office, loud com
plaiuts have been made about the loss of
money. Not only .money, but finger rings
were taken out of the letters and traded
off in this village to the silversmith who
had, just a few days before, mailed them
iu a letter. He was taken in the
very act, and is now in limbo. The
Rads are in. a great deal of trouble over
their erring brother, but all that surprises
me is that Uncle Sam’s detective has delay
ed his visit so long. The pay of the office
at this place is S2OO per annum, without box
rent ; the Postmaster furnishing his own
office, which costs $l5O a year. The deputy
has boarded and clothed himself and has a
surplus to run a store, in five months, and
has just commenced receiving a large stock
of groceries at the post office, and would
soon have been wealthy, if he had not beeu
caught and placed In durance vile.
The long drought which has prevailed
in this county for three months is at an
end; it commenced raining early yesterday
morning ahd continued throughout the day.
There is a large portion of this country
where there has not been enough rain to
run in hard places, during the last four
months; small streams have dried up and
but few mills that run by water power in
the northern and western portion of this
county have beeu able to grind grain.
On yesterday the real estate of Dr. Jas.
F. Adams was sold at public auction, at
his late residence, which consisted of
twelve tracts of land, lying seven miles
west of this place. Although it rained in
torrents, there was a large crowd in at
tendance. The land sold very high, con
sidering the quality, .as there were no im
provements of any value, with the excep
tion of the homestead tract; the average
price being $7 50 per acre. The home
stead sold for sl6 per acre, there being
550 acres in the tract. The stock also sold
at high figures. Corn sold for $1 55 per
bushel. The legatees all being of age, and
the estate not being in debt, was one
of the causes of this propertv selling
so high; and another cause was that Land
Commissioner Leslie, through his agents,
has recently purchased about four thou
sand acres in this county at fair prices
and has caused land to advance twenty
per cent. C. P. Leslie, Land Commission
er, has purchased, northwest of this place,
from John F. Burns and others, four thou
sand acres, and will have the r'reedmen
settlements parcelled out in a short time.
John Wolly, tax collector, county treasurer
and member of the Legislature, will take
the Burns place, with one hundred acres.
This new settlement will be incorporated
and martial law will be proclaimed, and
the negro militia will, it .is hoped, be trans
ferred from this place to the Qcw St. Do-
mingo soon-
Gin houses continue to be consumed by
fire-three were burned last week and three
have already been Consumed by fire this
week. No cause can hi! given, as there had 4
been n*firs used near the places. The'

In or M«y—a white lady living seven
miice below this place, on the old stage
road, was robbed and then burned in her
dwelling house. She was known to have
eight hundred dollars in specie besides
some paper money. No effort was made to
get Governor Scott to offer a reward for
the thieves and murderers, nor anv effort
made to find out who committed the act.
Not long after, the corn crib and stables
of a near neighbor of the lady were set on
fire, and five head of mules, together with
all his corn and fodder, were consumed in
the flames. No clue as to who committed
the act. Now, all these fires are within six
miles, and there is no doubt but \yhat there
is an organized band of negroes who are
committing these depredations; but what
use is it to prosecute negroes and run the
county to expense when there is no pros
pect of their being convicted and punished ?
Yours, respectfully,
Solon.
[From Alexander Macrae’* Circular.
Bees’ Wax.
Liverpool, October 28,1869.
American apiarists are perhaps not gen
erally aware of the enormous consumption
of the above article iu Europe, and the
pre-eminent value of the United States’
supply. Independently of the very large
yield of mineral anil vegetable waxes,
Eugland alone must consume some 20,000
ions a year, to the value of, say $2,100,000!
Its worth is assessed by color, purity and
melting point, and the latter process
readily exposes adulteration or foreign
matter. To-day’s quotations,
at 181, are as follows, viz i
American, bright proesed yel
low 45 to 61 cent* per lb.
American, rough urxed yel
low 43 to 43X cents per lb.
West Indian, ye low 41. K to cents per lb.
East Indian, yellow 41 jf to 43X cents per lb.
African... 36 if to 41 X cents per lb.
As an instance of the consumption, it
may be mentioned that one European pal
ace alone is said to burn ten thousand wax
candles nightly. The method of lighting
them is ingenious. The respective apart
ments being prepared with the candles, an
inflammable and scented web-like link (gun
cotton) runs trom wick to wick. Imme
diately one end of the wick is lit, the flame
flashes round the connected wax lights
with lightning rapidity, and in a moment
they are all simultaneously luflamed ! As
the link burns and ignites each candle, an
agreeable odor is emitted, and the apart
ments at onee, frorq one cud to the other,
are thus not only illumined, but perfectly
refreshed and perfumed, as if by magic !
Retaliation in Cuba—A Desperate
Resolve.—A letteF from Havana (October
30) says:
“ The Cuban patriots, having bided their
time during all the months of continual
rain and well nigh impassable roads, are
about to strike the first telling, crushing,
and overwhelming blow of this war.
“ President Cespedes has issued a procla
mation decreeing the destruction of every
stalk of sugar cane on the island. It is
rapidly ripening now. The orders for burn
ing it as fast as it will ignite, of trampling
upon it, of ruining the crop, have been
made. The machinery of the sugar mills
must either be disabled beyond easy repair
or entirely destroyed. The tens of thous
ands of liberated slaves are already at the
initiatory work. With the macheta and
torch, you can imagine thousands of half
nude, dusky forms gliding among the cane
fields, and with their burning pine knots
flitting around the sugar mills and slave
huts of the plantations. They will make
merry ot the work of ruin, and do It most
thoroughly.
“ Full three-fourths of the sugar erop and
two-thirds or one-half of the tobacco crop
will be destroyed. The Cuban Government
promises reimbursement to loyal Cubans at
the end of the war.
“ This terrible weapon of .warfare will
stagger the grasping, illiberal Spaniard.
By it the revenue of Cuba will be so belit
tled as not to pay the expenses of the horde
of salaried collectors sent here to grow
rich off the island; and finding no returns
and another year of fruitless war, with its
burdening and constantly increasing ex
penses, for what must Spain fight ? Let
the torch flame and these sugar fields of
Cuba become the funeral pyre of Spanish
rule in America. Spain well deserves it*
The first returns of the election held in
West Florida, on the question ot annexing
that section to Alabama, look unfavorable
to the annexation scheme. Pensacola and
four other voting places in Escambia coun
ty gave 437 for annexation and 346 against
it; and Milton gave a majority of 26 against
annexation.
