- Magnanimity is quality which we all
instiuctively admire. 1t adorns the peasant and
the prince alike, with glory above station or
the pride of place The following anecdote of
Prince Alfred is more honoring to him than his

The Jerusalem correspondent of the Boston
Traveller says that Prince Alfred, Queen Victo-

severe thrashing from brother mildly, whom he
had insulted and it is related Of him, greatly to

defeat he begged the victor's pardon for having

THAT PICTURE.

We wanted picture-yes, bona:fde picture
of an editor, bad looking as that specimen OF
humanity generally is. We forgot our troubles
we brushed up-we went to ScHoRB's. A
happy chain of condolences kept US in a good
humor. We sat down in all our native dignity,
surrounded by the evidences of our sauctum, the
types of our profession and the picture was done.
1t was a live picture-writing editorial! We
were charmed-we exhaled into o dewy rain
bow Of joy. 1t was perfect clear as daylight;
blind Tom, the pianist, could have told it was an
editors picture. Ye who want living pictures,

THE FARMER AND PLANTER.

Every farmer, who reads this, would, we think,
do well to send only one dollar to Mr.. STOKES of
Columbia, and take this valuable Agricultural
and Horticultural Magazine. We mean just
what we say. The February humber is on our
table, replete from beginning to end with impor-
taut information; yet without more encourage
ment and support, the publisher tells us that its
publication mast cease at the end of the present
year.
MIR. STOKES issued four thousand copies for
January, the same number for this month, and
will issue the same for the next, with the hope
that subscribers will come in and take back
numbers until they are exhausted. We are not
surprised at his faith, for it seems impossible
that the farmers and planters will suffer to fall
through, an enterpriseso creditable to the State
and beneficial to themselves.
We have said, and we say again, that any farm
er, if he ;ills only few 'paternal acres with
his own hands, will be repaid tenfold, even in
money, by taking and reading good agricultu.
raj JouFhai' 1pe SusSF9ioh' 'Hi'"u out iol
the improvement of his plantation, and system
of farming; receipts for the cure Of diseases
among his stock, and good hints given to his
better. half on all subjects of household thrift
and economy, will amply repay in the end. The
planter who has larger farm will be benefited
in proportion. 1t is a money-making business to
subscribe for the Farmer and Planter; besides,
it improves the mind, makes the roses bloom
better, and sheds new charm over the table
and around the .frssids. We hope every one of
our readers will send ON their dollar and treat
themselves to good rural Magazine, and save
the credit of the State by not permitting Mr..
Stokes to abandon the enterprise.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Happily for US of the South, while politicians
were vexing their brains, and Legislature were
involved in debate upon plan of redress, the
cry of 'non-intercourse' rose clear and ringing,
like the voice of prophet, from the people,
The people are beginning, too, to reduce their
feelings on this subject to practice. We are glad
to notice in this connection, that at the public
meeting of the citizens of Chester District, held
on Sale.day, resolution was passed for another
meeting 'on the first Monday in March next, to
discuss the policy of forming joint Stock Com
panies for manufacturing purposes Our Ches-
ter neighbors seem to be fully awake to the is
sues of the day and are promptly moving for
ward in the right direction.
We have but recently expressed our senti-
ments on the Importance of the 'homespun move
ment,' not chiefly as means of redress and
retaliation-for revenge is an ungracious thing
always-but as the promoter Of true and self
sustaining independence. Without further re.
mark, then, we add the comments Of the Standard
on the Chester resolution
"On motion of Mr.. McAliley, meeting of the
citizens was called on the 1st Monday in March
to consult in regard to taking joint stock in
manufactures. This, we think, is q capital idea,
and if carried out will result in good We think
joint stock might be put in some manufacturing
establishment in the District, that would be a
profitable investment, and would be a step to-
wards non-intercouse. Let the people reflect on
this matter and come out prepared for action"
We add to this paragraph from the Patriot
4 Mountaineer:
cat the meeting held yesterday resolution
was passed calling upon the citizens of Greenvile
District to meet at the Count House on Salesday
in March, for the purpose Of conference and &C.
ton in regard to the cours" to be pursued with
reference to the fostering of Southern commerce
and manufactures. The meeting will be an i'm
portant one, and we trust that the District will
be fully represented on the occasion"
