The Home Journal gives this thrilling
account of the coolness ola Hungarian
General in the hour of battle and Sf exc
cution:
One Of the most distinguished of the
Hungarian Generals who were taken
prisoners and executed by the Austrains
had the singular name af Ernest Kiss. lie
was wealthy proprietor, owning twenty
three villages, and was man of excessive
per 4onal elegance, as well as ofexcessive
ehivalric courage. He regularly sent his
linen all the way from Hungary to Paris
to be washed and was in similar respects
a D'Orsay, as well as a Bayard. His
GOODNESS in danger was remarkable; and
1t is told If him that one day, within reach
OF an Austrian battery making an obser-
vation, he orderd mis- servant to bring him
a cup Of chocolate. A shot took it from his
hand and killed his horse. CLUMSY ras-
Gals psaid Kiss, they have upset my break
fast When taken out with three others
to be shot he was snperbly dressed. The
order was given to fire, and his compan-
ions fell, while he stood untouched. you
have forgotten me- said Kiss, in his usual
tone of voice. The corporal of the plat
toon stepped up and fired, and the ball
striking him in the forehead, he fell with

Anderson and Knoxville Rail Road.

Col w. Spencer Brown, Chief Engineer
Of the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road,
returned 10 this place yesterday. from a ra-
pid reconnaissance of the contemplated
Rail Road route from Anderson c. III,
through Rabun Gap, to Knoxville and Chat
tanooga, Tenn. Col. Brown had not time
upon his short visit, to make very minute
examination of the entire route, but returns
satisfied its entire practicability, at very
moderate cost, considering that it passes
through mountainous country. He ex-
presses the confident opininion, that supe-
rior road may be built at a cost not exceed
ing $4,000 per mile for fifty miles, through
the mountains, aud $4,000 per mile for the
balance of the line, say ninety or one hun
dred miles. to Knoxville. Col. Brown thinks
that the most practicable direction for the
line, will be to strike from Anderson due
west, crossing the Seneca River near Sloan's
Ferry, and thence by the most practical route
to the valley of Tugalo River, thence up the
valley, of said River, to the mouth of Dix
Creek, following which stream for n short
distance, Il very pretty level ridge may be
crossed TO the War Woman Creek, few
miles from Clayton and up that Creek te
Clayton, thence through the Rabun Gap, to
the head waters of the little Tennessee and
Hiwasseo Rivers, without difficulty. The
distance from Anderson to Clayton, by this
route, is about sixty miles, and Col Brown
says truly that it is in every point of view,
the most important enterprise to South Car
ted public attention. Let Charleston begin
to move, let the State move, and let the peo-
pie everywhere go to work, to insure the
early construction of this great and impor-
tant oughfire--Southcrn II. Adro.

Deep Ploughing.

All cultivators of the soil l think, will
agree that il is better to have deep rich
soil than q thin one. Crops Oh deep
soil are not so easily injured, either by
drought or excessive rains. In dry weather
there is better circulation of the moisture
amongst the roots of plants, and in wet a
free opportunity for the excess of water to
soak down, and thus be reserved for use
in time of need.
While all agree with me in my views
thus far, there is great diversity of opinion
in relation to the propriety of deepening
the thin soils,so cohtending that the sub
soil contains poison, which, if brought up
and mixed with the surface soil,will surely
blast all the hopes of the unlucky farmer
who shall be bold enough to attempt land
that it is not best to bring up particle of
earth in order to deepen the soil, however
thin it may be; while others again as
strongly advocate deep ploughing and
deep tillage, bringing up the subsoil to
be acted upon by theatmosphere, and at
ienght forming deep, free soil, suitable for
reproduction of abundant crops.
Having advocated and practised upon
the last of these opinions for more than
twenty-five years, the object of this
communication is to give some hints to far
mers respecting deepening the soil
The nature of the soil and the circum-
stances of the cultivation should always
be considered. If the subsoil is clay, or
very hard and tenacious, the land should
be ploughed in the fall, that the frost may
operate upon it; and if there be not an
abundance of manure, n small quantity
should be brougt up; so that there may not
be sufficient to injure the growth of the
crops of the first season, but rather to in
crease them. Gravelly and sandy loans
may be ploughed deeper at first. Iflands
are wet, all the good effects of deep
tillage cannot be attained until draining
is resorted to. My practice has been, and
my advice now is to deepen gradually;
but as have before stated, how fast, depends
upon circumstances. BY all means, how
ever, obtain deep rich soil wherever you
intend to till.
A gentleman who has travelled through
the eastern and the southern parts Of this
state considerably, amongst farmers, and
who Is himself n cultivator of the soil, re-
marked to me, year or two since, that
he could pick out those farms where deep
ploughing had been practisted from superi-
ority of the crops, and that upon inquiry
of the owners he was seldom or never mis-
taken in his opinions Ne,o England

Our Upper Country.

1t is pleasant to walk in the woods these
Spring mornings. The trees do not as yet
shade us,but still the last remnants of the
autumnal leaves protect us from the rays of
the sun.
How vivid to our mind the first visit we
made through the upper country. II was
about this season of the year, several years
since, that we left Augusta, Ga, about one
o'clock, A. NJ, and took passage in the stage
for Abbevile c. II. Now, this was not the
hour Especially after enjoying the quiet re-
pose which one finds at the Eagle and PhG-
nix Hotel, Augusta,) to reconcile us to man
or nature. We were in no comfortable mood
and being frequently aroused out of unre-
freshing maps, which cannot be otherwise in
a stage coach, by the occasion of the Driver
stopping to water his team, we felt as if this
would be our first and last visit over such
rough roads.
But soon was our mood changed to one
pleasant, buoyant aed happy, for as morning
light appeared" the birds warbled forth their
songs of morning joy, recalling to mind those
lines of Montgomery
"Who loves not Springs voluptuous hours,
The carnival of birds and flowers"
The uneven surface ofthc country prescn-
ted to our mind beauties never before seen
to be enjoyed. How vory striking is this to
a low country resident. There where all is
fiat and even, it is certainly delightfully."- plea
SAINT to leave the sea shore to ruminatc and
ruralisc in our upper borders We took
breakfast at Edgcficld village, but had no OPP
portunity Of noticing the town. About dark
in the evening we reached Abbcvllc. What
pleasant feelings TO sec miniature city in
the woods! After sojourn of two or three
days at Abhcvillc, in which time we lcart the
facilities enjoyed by the inhabitants, how qui-
city did our prcjuiices vanish, and thought
we--what happy people!
In our young days we paid 4 visit to New
York, Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo, Niagara
Falls, &c, and yet this bricfvisit to Abbcvillc
village really pleased us more than those
dashing cities, or the enviable pleasure of
viewing Niagara. How strange that our ci-
tizens in the low country, annually spend
hundreds of dollars in visiting these North
crn places, when for much less sum, they
can while away the dull months of Summer
in their own State in n delightful climate and
enjoy the pleasure ofviewing as pretty scene
ry as can be found any where. Some years
ago these trips to our upper country could
not be accomplished but at great expense,
trouble and fatigue, but our Rail Roads arc
now projected to every pcint we might say
that we trust our friends will visit their coun-
neighhors, by which means not only do we
hope they will be much benefited, but it
will have the effect to perpetuatc those good
feelings which we are pleased to see exist
at this time.

BRuTAL AssAULr.-We have just heard
of most shocking and barbarous attack
upon young woman, Of this District,
which she will hardly survive. She is the
daughter of Mr.. John Hembree and was
to have been married on last night
Sometime on yesterday her screams were
heard by others of the family, who were
at work near at hand, and upon going to
see what was the matter, she was found
some two hundred yards from the house,
almost Senseless, with her head dreadfully
bruised and cut with more than dozen
fiightfui gashes, and iilc physician reports
that the skull is fractured in several pla-
ces. She has since revealed the perpetra-
tor Of the iuhuman deed, who is her un-
Gle, James Hembrec, and he is now under
arrest. We have not heard the motive
that led to the commission Of this act,
but it is said that the uncle was opposed
to the marriage.-Anderso Gozsfis.

ARREST ON SUSPICION OF KIDNAPPING.

ARREST ON SUSPICION OF KIDNAPPING.
"A white man who gave his name as w.
ID. Rose, arrived here yesterday in the
Wilmington Steamer with negro In
charge, whom it appears was ordered by
him TO remain upon the wharf while he
went in search of broker, but during his
absence the negro, who is about ~ years
of age, was questioned by Police Officer
Daniel Twohill, who was present, and the
answers returned were such rs to induce
the arrest of the white man (Rose) upon
his return, and that of the boy. They
were both taken before his Honor the
Mayor, to whom we are indebted for the
following facts elected during the examina-
ton
VIM. ID. Rose stated that he lived in
North-Hampton county, orth-Carolina.
That some time ago Mr.. Humphrey
Gums told him to catch the boy, whom
he calls Tom or Nuke that he was a run
away; that ifhe would take him to Charles
ton and sell him, or failing to do so, would
hire him to the Wilmington Railr 'ad
Company he would give him $50. Hum
phrey Gums lives five miles from Rich
Square, Northampton county. Rose
has no documents or written authority on
the subject; is himself not the owner of
any slave; says he is stranger both in
Charleston and Wilmington, never was at
either place before, and got the Captain
of the steamer Wilmington, to clear the
boy in the Custom House at Wilmington.
At the request of Rose, the Mayor yester-
day wrote to Magistrate NJ. w. Smaliwood
residing next the Post Office at Rich
Square, as above, also to Mr.. VIM. Gums,
the son of Humphrey Gums, to come on
forthwith and attend t" the matter.
The negro assevcrates most positively
that he is a free man, end says his name
is William Francis Nukely Davis, son of
Betsy Davis, n free born woman nearly
white. The boy is mustee, and says he
was bound to service by his mother to
Humphrey Gums till he was 81 that he
had Tut 3 more years to serve, when be-
ing i'll treated by Il Mr. Bottom, TO whom
he was hired, he left, and has been work
ing out since for himself, and that he was
taken by Rose while getting out slaves near
Halifax, n. c., on last Friday, and that
Rose forced him to mount y horse Ceiling
him he would take him homc;) but con-
v"ych him to Wilmington, and thence to
Charleston, and that he WAS not aware bv
Rose that he WAS ;nr sale
The affair wearing rather suspicious
aspect, his Honor has deemed it correct to
dctain both parties in custody for further
inquiry Cbds Ere. Mars.

An Octogennriaa gone.

We are called upon, says the Wins
boro' Daily Register of Thursday, as well
by sense Of duty as feeling of esteem,
and respect for the unblemished character
and benevolent department Of the deceased
IN all the relations of life, to pay passing
tribute Of respect to the memory of Major
Benoni Robertson, who departed this life
on YESTERDAY morning, after n short but ex-
tremc.y severe illness Entering upon
life few years before the commencement
OF the Revolutionary war, he experienced
some Of the hardships Of that struggle for
liberty, but too young to take any active
part. Without the advantage Of much
early education, he succeeded In making
himself useful TO his family, district xnd
country. BY industry and economy he
provided well for his family, giving hin
children liberal education which bss fi,l.
ly qualified them for transacting the busi-
ness and duties of life, with honor 70 them
selves--a good citizen, always prepared 20
discharge his duties with advantage 20 the
district and honor TO himself--and when
in 1914 the Site Of South Casolina was
called upon TO defend her soii irom invasicn
he chcerfully rendered his services and was
chosen to command Battalioa composed
principally Of volunteers from Fairfield dis
trict. Tho duties Of his Office were dis-
charged to the entire satisfaction Of his sa-

INTERESTING FACr.-Thc Rev. J. D.Ty-
Ter, Principal of The Deaf Mute Depart
meut of the Virginia Institution, states in
his last interesting report, that our own
country is the only one in which the ques-
ton whether the children of deaf mutcs
are themselves apt to be apt to be deaf,
has approached solution. Two hundred
educated mutes assembled in Hartford,
Conn, Sept. 25 1910. OF these lO3 were
married, some quite recently. Seventy
two were parents, the parents, of 1O2
children, ninety-eight OF whom can hear
and speak. Instances are given ofparcnts
both deaf from birth. having children able
to hear and speak.
AN instance" says Mr.. Tyler, exists
ain our own institution, in the case of an
Instructor and his aminblc wife, both deaf
from birth~-butt their two bright little Buys
have all their sens in perfection. So
that the apprehension in question" con-
tinues the Principal, "is not suffic ent
ground for denying to deafmutes the chief
earthly happiness, the school and exercise
Of virtue-the state which preserves na-
tons, and fills cities and churches and hea-
ven itself"

TIE NEW MORMON CDPIrAL.-Awri-
ter in the National Intelligenccr states
that Brigham Young and his associates
being well satisfied that upon fair repre-
sentation of facts to government by the re-
turned judges, the civil authority of the
territory would be withdrawn from their
control, they have, with their usual cunning
located their capitol in one of the most
out-ofthe-way, inconvenient, and unsafe
districts to be foundNwithin the limits of
the Territory with the view not only to ex-
pose the officers who might be sent there to
India nhostilities, but TO remove them so
far from Salt Lake City as to remove them
as to prevent their taking cognizance of
crimes and offencee tn re, over which the
church claims to exercise exclusive jurisdic-
ton. Recent letters from Salt Lake City
announce these as the reason for the act.

AGRICU II j RAL.
The Culture of the Irish Potato.

Were we to take up an agricultural pa
per published in Iceland, and find full and
ample directions how to make Iceland
Moss to perfection, should we not be consid-
cred green If we attempted to follow those
directions in this hot climate of the South?
So with the Irish Potato although origin
ally Southern plant, yet it has been bro
ught to its present edible perfection, in the
moist, cool hthtudes of the North, and
to succeed nell with it here,we must make
It approximate, as nearly as possible, to
those cooler latitudes. If we plant the po-
tato in tho earth after the manner of the
North, they make good early potatoes,
but by the time they, have matnred,
and should be at the height of their FARM
aceous perfection, from the excessive heat
of the soil they have become watery, and
when cooked more resemble balls of putty
than human food. To have good Irish
potatoes in this warm climate, plant them
under straw, any time from Christmas until
March. Break up the ground intended for
the potato bed deeply; manure it well with
any cooling manure-decomposing veg
etable substances are best. Open furrows
sM Inches ueep, eISnteen lncHeS apart, I'LL
the farow nearly full of any well rotted
manure. The potato shonld have been
cut once in two, at least two weeks before
planting; plant the potato cut side down,
on the manure in the furrow twelve inches
apart; now cover the whole with the earth
on the ridge, and then cover the whole bed
with either wheat, oat, or pine straw
the deeper the straw the better, and the
more of the potatoes there will be. The
rains beat down the straw, moisture is en-
gendered next the earth, and an even tenn
perature is preserved, Keeping the potato
cool and giving it that peculiar mealy
quality, without which an Iriah potato
is the mcanest of all human food. No
fears need be entertained but what the tops
will find their way through the straw;
they wiH find The light, and the potato
will make as high up in the straw as the
moisture comes. There is no after cul-
ture, after planting-the yield is greater
and the quality equal to the bestimported.
Who will eat putty balls, when they may
have as well, mealy potatoes?-tSoH Of
the South.

The BRANAH Lock PICKER.-Mr.
Hobbs in recent lecture before the So
ciety nf Arts in London, thus describes
the manner in which he picked the cele-
brated Bral am lock:
He said that his first step had been to
take an impression of the hole in wax.
lie had originally supposed that each slide
had its spring, but he found himself mista-
ken in that surInise. Having contrived
the necessary implements, he pressed down
the disc, which left him at liberty to work
en- the slides introduced lever into the
key hole, and applied pressure to the
cylinder; felt the slids successively, press
ing them in the false notches,and succeed
ing in loosening the cylinder, and the lock
was picked. He had ncvei seen the
inside of Bramah lock before his ezperi-
ments-had never tried to pick one; and
he entertains no doubt that, with his pre-
sent experience, he could repeat the pro-
cess in an hours time. Mr. Hobbs alluded
also TO the powerful reflector" he is said
10 have used, and showed it to bea three
penny mirror, and he similaraly refuted the
exaggeration relative to excessive fling
of the lock"
