Senator Linn has given notice that he
intends to introduce resolution for the
Repeating of the Presumption and distri-
button act. We strongly incline to the
belief that a majority Of Mr. Linn's con-
stituents would prefer his employing his
time in some other way, than by introduce
ing resolutions for the repeal of one of the
best laws--for them--evcr enacted.
Notice has also been given of the intcn-
ton to attempt the repeal of that law OF
all laws the Bankrupt Law. But we are
glad to learn that these disorganzers,
whenever they attempt the repeal Of these
laws, will receive a proper rebuke from
the friends of the people.

ton with his undlord that he lost his wife in Char

confding too much in the honesty of the people, and
the bad state of the currency, he
in business, to be compelled to leave for Charles
ton, where resided until his visit 10 our place. He
procured horse to 60 to Bishopville, as he stated,
on collecting expedition, ofmatters Of long stand
ing. He left on tho day Of his arrival, but returned
after few hours absence, not being pleased with
the horse he then had, bat under the prctence that
he had forgotten some important papers. He left
the next morning another horse, and it is piesu-
med he will continue to travel and swinde until he
reaches his destined abode in Texas where he will
become flaming patriot on tho strongest side. In
height he is about feet or 10 inches high, stout
and we'll made, fair Completed, with hazle eyes, and
had on blue black frock coat, with light colored
pants suitable to the season, and from his general
appearance and demeanor is we'll calculated TO de-

ont land Is, TO manure sufficiently in the
dr,ll or otherwise, to produce tolerable
crop of corn-and in the ialf after the
corn is removed sow wheat-and IN the
winter cover as before mentioned-and
in The spring sow clover seed, either clean
or in the chaff-say gallon and a nan
Der acre Of clean seed, or 8 or 10 buushels
in the chaff.
The practice of covering with pine
straw or other litter, is susceptible to va
rious notifications; for instance-youi
NAV sow wheat on any well prepared
ground early in the fall, and after making
the ground perfectly smooth by harrow
ing or otherwise, sow clover seed and I'M
mediately cover with straw or other lit
ter Or clover may be sown with oats IN
the spring, and covered Immediately. Or,
YOU may sow wheat or rye, and buck
wheat, and clover the first of August,
and cover as aforesaid, and cut the buck
wheat in two months, and the rye or
wheat, and clover will be crops the fol-
lowing summer. A crop of small grain
may be covered in the winter, and clover
seed sown in the spring ON the top OF the
straw or litter, without any danger OF the
clover not coming up surely and we'll
even if in the chaf, as the first good rain
after sowing will wash the seed down to
the soil, and the shade of the straw will
secure its vegetation. Indeed, the grand
secret of the whole benefit is, that the
ground is shaded and kept moist without
any injury, but clear benefit to the grow;
ing crops, And in addition, the decayed
vegetable matter of the straw eventually
benfts the ground as much in that respect,
presume, as to pay for haulingand cover
ing as stated. But / consider clover crops
the key to all good farming or improve
ment of soils. And good crop of clo-
yer once had on land, it is the farmers
own fault, or ignorance, or laziness, if
such land is not kept good ever afterwards
under his care.
