A SINGULAR AFFAIR-On last Thursday
Marshall L. Holman, residing at present two
miles below here on the Jack son road, gave in
formation before Justice McCary that young
man calling himself Jonathan J. McClain, alias
John Jackson, had disclosed to him that h , be-
longed to gang of land pirates, and that he
had succeeded, whilst at Sharon, in the adjoin-
ing county of Madison, (where he had been
spending some time in the capacity of a shoe
maker) in decoying off some four negroes from
that neighborhood, and had sent them to Bea-
ties Bluff, to another Of the gang, named Cren-
shaw, who was to take them into Arkansas,
and there dispose of them, and that he (Mc-
claim was making his way up into Chickasaw
county where he was TO meet Crensiaw on
the 9th of July, to receive his share of the pro-
ceeds.
A warrant was issued and McClain taken
into custody, and compulsory p.ocess for the
informer, pf ced in charge of A. P. Boyd, the
Sheriff of this county, Tho conveyed him to
Madison county, and gave hinfin charge OF
the proper authorities there. When Mr.. Boyd
left the matter was undergoing investigation,
but he was unable to state what had transpir-
cd relative to the guilt or innocence of M'Clain.

We understand that the above case was ex-
anned into before G. P. Moore Esq. in Sha-
ron. The informer and the accused were botl
believed to be men o. bad character, SO bad
that one could not be believed on oath, or the
to the opinion that it is bad imitation of the
Virgil A. Stewart matter. We may be able
next week to give an account Of the testimo-
ny, which will show that ''some things can be

With what reason a citizen of "a State thai
has been constantly retrogading for more than
twenty years in population and wealth, can
promulgatc such remarkable doctrines, would
puzzle Il Philadelphia lawyer to determine.
Tho labor of the State has for many years, up
to within a short period, been confined to one
or two branches OF agriculture. We have Civ
en- the main result OF such confinement, above.
The depopulatlon and consequent decrease OF
the resources of the State became so alarming
that few years ago, some enterpri ing and
really patriotic citizens, seeing that remedy
must be had, embarked in cotton manulactu-
ring. The result has been most happy.
Wherever factory has obtained a fott-
hold, thriving little community has
sprung up, an industrious population has
been gathered together, domestic market has
been created, and all things wear nourshing
appearance. Yet in the face of these incon-
powerfully llattering and valuable consequent
ces flowing from home manufactures, this ed
itor has the audacity, or rather, stupidity to en-
dcayor to put down the only branch of indus
try, with its substantial adjuncts, which eau
prevent the State from treadlng still farther
that downward path which leads to depopula-
ton and ruin. The fellow must be crazy

The Scientific American gives some valua-
Bile information in regard to the charging of
fire arms. 1t says that balls which fit accu-
rately the bore of piece, have the greatest
effect, as they do not come out SO readily, but
give time for the greater quantity of powder
to ignite.
Wien the powder is rammed violently down
its effect is no greater but somewhat less than
when barely pressed down with the ball up
on it.
GuDpowder around ball diminishcs its ef-
feet, as it expands in all directions, and when
il is upon top oil the ball, thrust in some m ea-
sure act counter to its progress.
By taking ball and putting little powder
under and considerable before it, its effect may
be almost nulli1ed, an yet there may be con-
siderable noise when the gun is discharged.

drilling i'm Wheat.

We are convinced that putting in wheat
with a drill is not only the preferable plan,
but that great saving of seed may be
effected by it, and an increased product
obtained. To SOW 100 acre field broad
cast, as it ought to be, will require 200
bushels of seed; 125 bushels, if put i'll with
the machine, will answer fully as well,
thereby saving rs bushels in seeding 100
acres. The ridge raised by the machine
protects the plants through the winter;
and in spring, if the roots should be thrown
out, many, if not most of them, will be
covered by the crumbling down of the
rifges All that would be necessary to
render this certain, would be, in the spring,
to pass roller over the field, as soon as
the frost was out of the ground and the
soil dry, as the pressing down, or COM
preston of the ridges, would necessarily
cover up most of the roots that might be
found exposed upon the surface, and thus
ensure their taking root and growing
Besides, the intervals between the drills.
would secure a free circulation of all
through the plants while growing, and be
particularly serviceable in preventing, to
very grert extent, the grain from rust
If the cause of this disease be atmospheric
and we believe it is, the free circulation Of
air could not fail to be productive OF the
good we have claimed for it.

ARRTGWHPURAIho
From the American Agricultural.
Remarks on TOp.DreSSing.

The waste caused by the washing by
rains and melting SHOWS, In my opinion,
is the only objection to putting manure on
the surface of the soil. In all other res
poets | think it decidedly preferable to
top-dress, particularly grass lands. 1t
this cannot be done in the winter, pre-
fer to haul the manure on in the summer
and spread it as soon after the hay Is OH
the ground as possible. At that season,
the rains are not so heauy as to cause
much surface water; but at each shower,
the soluble parts of the manure dissolve,
wash down, and act Immediately on the
roots of the plants, causing them to con-
tinue their growth, until checked by frost
Should there be an excess of this liquid
manure, it will descend lower into the
earth, at every succeeding shower, and
when once deposited there will never as
cend. 1--WE cannot concur IN this OPINION.
Manures may be wasted by evaporatlng In
the air, as well as by descending too deep
into the earth.-EDs) On very porous
soils, however, it is often lost below. L
have known gravelly land, where rotten
manure has been plowed in before the
commencement of the fall rains, and much
of it's strength washed out of the reach OF
the roots of most kinds of grain, could not
be brought up again without very deep
blowing OF by planting, or sowing such
kinds of vegetables as possess deep-search'
ing roots.
strongly advocate top-dressing for win
ter grain when snow or frost will admit oi
putting on. If the ground is sufficiently
hard to bear horses and their loads, nc
harm will be done, either to the land OF
team, in the absence of snow. L have
seen this experiment tried, in many IN
stances, with great success on stiff clay
soils.
l have tried top-dressing on clay mead
ows, in one instance, by applying severa
loads of manure to the acre, and In another
case double the quantity, and in the thir'
instance treble the amount. The torme
was exhausted the first year-the mex
produced a good crop the second year
but was exhausted at the end of the season
but in the latter case, the crops were equal
ly good for five years! This experimen
convinced me practically that there wa:
no loss by evaporation, and encouraged
me to hold the position l now advance.

ThraShing Ont Grain.

We have ever been the advocate oil
early thrashing out grain, and equally so
that the grower should avail himself of the
first opportunity which may present itself
of selling it advantageously. By such a
course, he secures himself against loss
alike from his poultry and vermin, and
from shrinkage-a loss that, we are sure
amounts to at least 90 per cent. where the
thrashing, cleaning and sale may be delay
ed six or eight months, as is frequently the
case.
