How TO EXCLUDE FLIEs.-E'Iies are beginning
to be troublesome. According to Spence, the
en;omoIogis:, they may clirrlualy be excluded
from room, in which the windows are left wide
open for free circulation Of mir, by suspcnding
net made of light-colored thread TO the outside
of the window. and although every mesh is large
enough, not only to admit one fly. but several
flies with expanded wings to pass through at the
same moment, yet from some ineyplicable dread
of venturing across the mesh-work, these insects
are cilrciuaIIy excluded. 1t is necessary to state
that in order for this plan to succced it is essen
lia That thc light enter the room on one side
only, if there be IN opposite or side window the
flies pass through the net without scrnple.

GuAHo.--Something will have to be done in
order that the farmers may be furnished with
this now almost indispensable fertilizer at Il
reasonable rate. The country is becoming
dissatisfied with the manner in which this guano
business is conducted. We are not advised of
any remedy which, at this ime may be applied
10 relieve the present difficulty, but certainly
there should he some remedy. a gentleman
from the country writing TO his merchant in this
city. says:
81 think shall decline purchasing guano at
present price, and hope the farmers throughout
the whole State may do likewise. The time
has arrived for farming and counting up the
cos'--:.rd for resisting the imposition.
The Use of guano thus t.;r has been more Il
matter of pride than interest. $40 per ton ad-
vance in the last six months, in the face Of
Il sg,nerll onstrance against the former high
prIcc, presents The farmers, (if they continue TO
u<cit.) inavery ridiculous attitude. If Congress
would adopt sliding scale of duties on the ar
ticle--imposing duty Of $40 per ton when
above uriy dollars, and increasing the duty as the
price of ihe article advanced they would bring
them to lernls in three months aud would rem
der more real service 10 the country by an act
lha; might be passed in 4 singe day, than by all
their legislation for the session.

New MEXGcAN SuGAR.-ltis is said that almost
Ill fruits, grains and vegetables which grow in
the clear dry climate Of Mexico are remarkable
for their extraordinary sweetness. The COM
mon corn stalks abound in sArcharac matter
to such an extent rs TO furnish the native popu-
lation with moasses, which, although hardly as
good us the inferior rnolas>es of Louisiana, might
doubtless be much improved by Il more perfect
mode Of manufacture Than that adopted by the
Mexican population. This molasscs is purchased
there by those who do rot supply their own
wants ut rate Of Sl.5O per gallon. The best
OF New Mexico contains so unusual quantity
of sacchariac matter, that the manufacture Of
bee sugar i, sail 10 offer strong inducements to
gentlemen Of enterprise and capital to embark
in trc business. The only sugar which is brought
10 Santa Hc now is transported from the valley
Of the Mississippi across Il desert Of nearly 800
m lies in extent. and the cost Of transportation
increases lis price about ten cents pound, so
HAT the most inferior kinds range from 10 10 20
GEMS in value. Labor in New Mexico is worth
i;om four 10 eight dollars per month. The
manufacture of sugar from bccts has never been
attempted there, probably because no one in the
country has the slightest knowledge Of the art.

Our Militia system.

We publish elsewhere in this sheet an extract
from the South Carolinian in regard TO The pres
ent militia system of the State, in the spirit OF
which article we concur most heartily, and IN
the voice of 4 large majority Of our citizens,
and rs defenders Of the rights of the people,
and cXposers OF unjust eXaciions and abuses,
shall not cease to call loudly for reform The
present system of training the militia is wrong
in its foundation, and utterly Inefficient in lis
operation. A more ridiculous farce than our
common beat muSters can scarcely be imagined.
This does not arise from any want Of public
spirit, or honorable pride, but from 4 settled
conviction of the inutility of such exercises in
times of peace. and an indisposion on the part
of the men to be made puppet shows of, for
the qualification of The few, Whose ambition
wonld stalk forth in q" fuss and feathers"
Few there are who would think Of denying
that petty military trainings and mnsters arc
sources of great social evils, and heavy tax on
the working classes but some there are, who,
from familiarity, prcjGdiccd ignorance and per-
haps Il Turkish faith in prcdesinaion, sill carp.
and chrone-likc ask 10 hare 4 substitute pointed
out TO them.
The substitute, as Offered by the Carolinian,
is amply sufficient has been proved by actual
experience in other States 10 answer all purpo-
scs, and if once introduced into South Carolina
We will venture to say that there will never oe
found in our Legislature an individual bold
enough TO advance IN opinion in favor of the
system now prevailing. We have confidence
enough in Caroliaiaas to believe, that should
their State or country ever call upon them, there
will he iuund it, the field, at one months notice,
Il better trained and more enthusiastic militia,
than all the battalion, regimental, and brigade
muslers now in vogue, could make in century
The remedy is with the people, and from what
we know Of their sentiments on the subject, we
have no fear but that they will demand and
receive their rights-Snmter Banner
