should be built With yiewt saving all manure,
and into them should be thrown straw, leaves and
other litter, together with plentiful supply Of
muck. As this is removed and the same process
repeated, it should not be exposed to waste Its
strength on the desert air, and be wasted by
drenching rains, but should be carefully housed
and covered He should also have compost heaps
at convenient places into which all litter and scra
pings from the yard, soap-suds, &c, should be
deposited: with the addition of an abundance OF
muck. and lime, gypsum or ashes In fine, let eV-
cry farmer raise abundance of grain keep plenty
of stock and keep them well, and hoard all ferti-
zing material as gold and silver; let not the time
spentin making and saving manure be considered
as lost but let this be adopted as part and parcel
of plantation work and word for it, he will &C
cuuulate large amount of valuable manure,
which judiciously applied, will tell nightly on
the worn out impoverished fields.
Another means of advancing agricultural pros
perity, is the promotion Of Agricultural Science.
Every farmer should become acquainted with all
the scientific laws that govern the vegetable and
animal world He should be well versed in all
the sciences that have any bearing on the subject
of agriculture; and he should thoroughly under
stand the analysis of sois-their component parts,
and what manures are best adapted to promote
their fertility In fact VIC should educate farmers
TO their business, we do Lawyers, Doctors and
Minister'S & thus exalt them to that station among
the great and noble of the earth to which they are
deservedly entitled; for the farmers business is
certainly the most important, the most noble OF
all others. He works to feed the hungry and
clothe the naked and certain it is we could dis
pense with the sails of Commerce, the implements
of science, the Celebrations of genius, the elo-
.quence of eratory, the equipages of wealth and
the banqueting of pleasure, but not with the pro-
duct of our fields and the fruits of gardens.
We might manage to live without merchants, with
out manufacturers without orators, without politi
clans and without poets; We might possibly sur
vive the loss of demagogues and opera-singers and
chess-players, prizefghtcrs and Congressman; and,
to read some of the newspapers, one would think
we could live without President; but one thing is
certain, ice could not liue acithOut Farmers.
And last, though not least, agricultural
Fairs are great means Of promoting ogricut-
ttpat Development This is SO obvious to every
casual observer that it needs no demonstration to
establish its truthfulness. And confident
that in the commendable contests, the noble emu
lation, the audable rivaries Witnessed at agr
cultural fair, we see the propitous dawnings Of a
brighter day in the agricultural world.

WILL, CHAR. AND RUTH. RAILROAD.

correspondent of the Wadesboro Argus in
speaking of the above road, says:
The cars are running abo1t two miles above
Lumberton, and the grading is nearly done that
there will be no delay in the track-laying from
there to Rockingham, which place the cars will
certainly reach in the spring or the early part OF
the summer The work as far DONE is we'll
done; it is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that
the balance will be equally good. l cannot tell
how others feel, but certainly am glad that 1
have lived to see this road far advanced towards
completion. The land owners along the line of
the road, in great many instances, have sold
their lands for more than twice the amount they
could have got before the road was commenced,
and new impulse has been given to every depart
ment of business, as far as the road has been
finished, The receipts of the road for freight and
travel have exceeded the expectations of its most
sangune friends, and great deal more could have
been done if there had been sufficient number
of engines and cars to do the work.
The stockholders held regular meeting in the
town of Wilmington on the Goth of October, and
the reports of the different officers of the road show
that the business upon the whole is we'll managed
considering the great difficulties attending the
dertaking The Directors held meeting before
and after the meeting of the stockholders, and no
doubt they will do the very best that can be done
for pushing forward the work. As an evidence Of
the unbounded confidence the stockholders have
in the Board of Directors, will mention the fact
that, out of seventeen thousand votes, the old
board got all but fifty -four. While We have every
reason to be encouraged, we must not forget the
fact that, although much has been done, great
deal more must be done before the work can be
completed.
A committee appointed by the stockholders
to present memorial to the next Legislature for
the purpose of obtaining more aid from the State,
and We hope the necessary assistance will be
granted The whole of our road runs through
border counties, which have neve, before asked for
aid from the State, while they have most cheer
fully paid for the building Of roads in other por
tions of the State.

INTERESTING SKETCHES.

The alexandria Sentinel has been publishing
some sketches of Virginia history for children"
which are very interesting to grown people. The
last of the number contains the following facts
about the Old Dominion.
The boundaries of Virginia have undergone
great changes. The charters given by King
James l., in whose reign the colony was settled,
granted all the territory contained between two
lines, the one drawn from point on the Atlantic
sea-coast, two hundred miles south of Point Com
fort; the said lines to be extended "West and
Northwest across to the Pacific Ocean ; also all
the islands within three hundred leagues of the
foregoing grant. This was a vast domain, of the
extent of which King James had no conception
for he knew not how distant the Pacific Ocean lay
from the Atlantic Y e#aFz =
But King Jamess successor paid small regard to
the limits thus accorded to Virginia In 1852
Charles l., son of james, granted to Lord Balti-
more all that portion of the ancient Virginia
domain out of which has been formed the State of
Maryland. In 1880 he also gave way belt of
| territory extending from ocean to ocean, and in
Guiding it's Atlantic front what is the State
Of North Carolina. No settlement then being
made on this grant, in 1868, Charles IT. bestowed
it upon the Duke of Albemsrle and others
BY the treaty of peace between the French and
English in 1853, at the close of the French and
Indian war, line drawn along the middle of the
Mississippi River became Virginia's western boun-
Diary; that her territory no longer to stretch
from to aa~ a..s,....t
In June l776, Virginia relinquished all claim to
such of her original territory as had been taken
away in the charters erecting the colonies of Mary
land Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina.
Virginia had still very extensive dominion,
Spreading from the Atlantic to the Mississippi
River, and stretching up that river to its source,
her territory embraced, in addition to her present
boundaries, what is now included in the States of
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin, ---..... . .-.... .s.,..z-
In the revolutionary war this large domain
created much jealousy and discomfort among the
other colonies They complained that Virginia
had greater interests dependent the result than
they, but only encountered equal perils; and they
feared also that the small colonies would after indie
pendence was gained, be overshadowed and en-
dangered by such preponderance of power in their
| neighbors. s us
To relieve these discontents, Virginia, in 1881,
generously yielded to the United States for the
common benefit, the whole of her vast territory
Northwest of the Ohio river
In 1889 Virginia further authorized inhabitants
of that portion of her territory now constituting
the State of Kentucky. to form themselves into a
separate commonwealth. In 1892, that movement
was contaminated, and Virginia thus reduced to
her present limits.

STAND FIRM.

IF it be true that Lincoln is elected Pre-
sident stocks Of all kinds and property gen
orally will fall in price. A panic runs like wild
fire in dry stubble. Let every business man
stand firm, and do all he can 10 ward off the panic.
Let little property be sacrificed as possible.
Instead of pressing our debtors, or selling proper
ty of any kind to provide the means of living or
extravaganza, let us economize and live on less
than heretofore. Let US especially beware of a
panic in slave property. ,Stupery IN the States is
IN no danger Those persons in the States south
of us who are anxious to open the slave trade and
import barbarians into this country, would not OBJ
ject to a panic which would reduce the selling
price of slaves in Maryland, Virginia, and North
Carolina to three or four hundred dollars each.
The proposition to limit slavery in the States in
which it now exists, if even adopted by Congress
and approved by the President, would amount to
little. Slavery can no more be limited by act of
Congress than the Mississippi can be arrested in
its course 1t wW spread to and take root in all
new regions where the climate and soil demand it.
1t would, therefore, be unwise to rush slave prop
erty into market at a sacrifice on account of Lin
coins election. Let us stand firm, strengthen our
Deficiencies in the Union, and keep strict eye on
our slaves. Let to it that they are govern
ed better than heretofore at home, 50 that when
away from their houses they may give less trouble
to the police. There is no danger to be apprehen-
ded from the slaves, if bad white men are watched
and kept away from them. Left to themselves,
they content and happy, much more loyal and
respectable than the abclitionsts are themselves

Southern independence will rid them of Northern
competition:
The Effect an Connecticm.-The Hartford
Times says: The receipt OF the news of the Penn
sylvania election in the South, with its legitimate
conviction of the election of Lincoln, has produ-
ced profound sensation in this State and bad
consequences likely to follow. The following
is an extract from private letter to one of our
citizens:

is before us in Haven. Our carriage business is
at a staudstill. No orders from the South. South
