For example: Mr.. \. walks into the
editors room and says

an independent editor.
DO not forget, in the meantime. that

Knowing this, you carefully and COLI

Salt as A Manure.

SALT has been used extensively in Eng.
land, and we believe it to be, when judi
clousy applied, excellent manure, but
like many other good things, may be used
to excess. We have used it on three de.
Scnptons of crops, and as we had cause
to believe, with decidedly good effects.
We applied it to corn outs and urnips.
10 the corn we applied 2 bushels to the
acre broadcast, just after the corn was
planted; the season proved very dry
one. The piece Of ground on which the
salt WAS sown, was all manurcd alike with
stable and cow-yard manure-to one
half was applied salt in the proportion
stated-on the other half no salt applied.
Now as to the result. The corn on the
part saltcd, remained of dark green,
healthy until the fodder was puled-thc
blades on the other part were early burnt
and twisted up SO badly as to yield COM
paratively little fodder-the yield of grain
was also considerably less.
We sowed oats on piece of ground
much infested with worms, and after har-
rowing in the oats, broadcast salt over it
at the rate of two bushels to the aero
the injury from worms was speedily ar
rested. Oat plants left after few days
unharmcd, manifested q. heakhfrA green
color throughout the season.. nratured
few days later than another patch sown
about the same time-thc yield was a
fair one.
We applied bushels of sale on acre
of turnips with good effect.
Its effects are said to be these: /. Tha

sis of most plants, that soda and chlorine
are detected in them, and as these are tn,

that they arc essential ingredients in mos
.ege'aUio r. ~L".ts and u not pre-eIIstlnr
in the soil in sufficient quantities, thar +
can be very advantageously employed.
Its modes of application, are-l. BY
composing with barn-yard and other ma,
nure land ,. BY sowing broadcast after
the seed may be sown, and the ground
narrowed. Opinion varies as to the prop
er quantity per acre, as 20 bushels, others
are content with !, 2 and 3bushels. Our
own opinion is, that 2. bushels are about
the right quantity. 1t is but fair to re-
mark, that, in England, practice seems to
have settled down to 2 bushels of salt to
one Of seed american Farmer.

The Press Above All.

Col. Perry, in late letter, speaking
of the Gardiner trail, and the elaborate
reports which appear of the proceedings
therein, says:
"Whcn the case of Gardiner was first
commenced, it was thought proper on the
part Of the defence to order the witnesses
10 be excluded from The Court House, SC
that they should not hear what each other
swears. But this object has been entirely
defeated by Republication of the testimo-
ny every morning in the city papers. II
was complained Of yesterday, but Judge
| Crawford said their was no mode of stop
ping it. / suggested to his Honor that
they had a mode of stopping such things
in England, by attaching the printers for
a contempt Of court, in publishing the
proceedings of trail before it was over.
The Judge said that might do in England
but it would never do in the United
States, where the press was above tho
court, the Government, and everybody
else" :

Wintering Stock in Kentucky.

The Kentucky Cultiuator gives the
method Of wintering stock in that State,
As follows:
THE course usually pursued. in Ken
mcky, in wintenng stock Of most kinds,
is to give them range on the fields and
pastures, scattering corn and fodder for them
over the surface, with or without the ears.
w .en corn is thus fed to the cattle, mules
or horses, hogs are allowed to follow them
to pick up their leavings. This system is
found peculiarly advantageous in Ken
tucky. 1t is convenient in feeding large
numbers of stock, and it scatters at once
over the pastures and fields the manure
that is made on the farm. An old and
skilIful farmer remarked to us once, that
when he was about to break up Il field
which he had been resting in grass, he
turned all the stock on it he could during
the freezing weather of tho preceding
winter, to be foddered, and thus put the
soil in the best possible condition. Thi.
would be excellent treatment for any field
needing manure, care being observed tc
put heavy stock upon it only when tho
grouLd is frozen hard"

CorroN OLA few days ago, says the
Mobile Register, we published telegraph
ic dispatch, briefly stating that chemist
in Egypt had discovered method Of ex-
tracing oil from cotton seed. We thought
it a strange announcement at the time, as
the process could not be attended with
mach difficulty. 1t now appears, however
from fuller accounts, that the novelty and
utility ofthe discovery consists in clari-
flying the oil, and rendering it fit for
burning fluid, for manufacturer uses
and for making soap. For these purposes
il is said to be well adapted. The
vieeroy of Egypt has conferred on tho
discoyerer the exclusive right to clarif,
and sell the oil for ten years. We shal
look with interest for further accounts o
this discovery, and Of tho value and use
of the clarified cotton oil, as it may prove
to be an invention ofimporance to South
ern planters.

CHAPTER I.

The wind blew mournfully, the night
Uss dark, and brightly, as il to shame
the darkness, shonc the light from the
room in which the conversation limited at
was taking place.
Solitary stood n house in the upper por-
tion Of one Of our Southern cities. Idle
gossip circulated the report that it was
haunted. Strange noises were heard
from time to time there, besides lights

Gossip, as is so often the case, was in
error; the house was not haunted by any
supernatural beings, but was the .sbode
of as h sndsomc young. lady as can be
found reared under the genial influence OF
= Southern Sun. Besides the young la
dy, one, and only one other person resi-
sled in the house--her mother. Strange
to say, no one knew anything about these
people. They had been living in that
house for two years, and yet they had no
acquaintances-no friends. They did not
seek company, and very naturally no one
sought theirs. The old lady was known
by the name Of Brown, and the young
lady, her daughter, was Miss Sarah Brown.
