Land . ale.

The Tax Commissioners for the Dis
trict of South Carolina, had sale Of
lands for unpaid United States direct
taxes, last Monday, in front of the Por
Royal House, according to previous ad
'vertisement.
The taxes on the Cooper River, Mel,
rose and Bloody Point plantations on
|Dawfuskie Island, having been paid by
John Stoddard, Esq, of Savannah-exe-
cutor and trustee, they were withdrawn
from the sale.
All the other plantations Oh Dawfuskie
were bid in by the commissioners for the
United States.
Col. Seabrook's plantation, No. l, on
Bulls Island, was sold to Simon Cameron.
|of PENN, Benz. F. Wade, Of Ohio, and
James r. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, for
|S2, 700. It contained 100 acres.
The other plantations Oh Bulls Island
were bid in by the Commissioners for the
United States.
Pine, Page, Barataria and Spring
Islands were also bought in for Uncle
Sam. Bids to $4,000 were made for
Spring Island alone.
Savage Island was bought byJ. g..
Dodge and G. w. Atwood for $3.50. 1t
contains 20 acres.
Daw Island, Lemon Island and Rose
Island containing 100 acres each, were
sold to David II. Rice. Daw Island for
|S3CO. Lemon Island $i75 and Rose
Island for $452.
The Commissioners then offered some
|of the lots at Lands End on st. Helena

The attendance was good and the feel
ling of confidence in the ultimate value
|of the lands to present purchasers, rather
|on the increase. This will probably be
the last of the sales till fall, as the
weather is getting to be uncom-
|fortably warm and buyers from the
North do not care to risk the climate
much later in the season. 1t may be,
however, that some sales may take place
lat Charleston.

the village, especially on the Sabbath,
but are prevented from doing so because
the walk is so dangerous.

Our New Railroad.

Our Ne"
Capitalists and others are having their
attention directed to the building Of q
railroad from some point o. this is'ard to
Bluffton, on the main lanl. 1t is said a
road is already graded from Blntfton to
Hardccville, on the Charleston and Sa-
vannah road. BY short route from Har,
decville, striking The Mtcon and Savan-
lah road viq Springfield, an easy connec'
ton is mlde with all the great arteries CT
travel throughout Southern Georgia and
South Clrolina-a country veIf)wine
with agricultural and mineral wealth.
Now, it is an error in supposing that
a good, safe, quiet harbor does not exist
on this side of Port Royal Entrance,
The water about two miles above our
present long pier is as quiet as In New
York bay, and the deep channel is much
nearer the shore. Piers less than one
hundred yards in length will reach twen-
ty-two feet of water at low tlde--the
present depth at the end of our pier,
which is about FIVE hundred yards long
The proper location for the New Navy
Yard should be on Colleton River, just
around Colleton point where, it is said,
ten flthoms can be carried close to the
shore. We have abundance Of deep wa
ter we'll sheltere from dangerous winds
all along this side of the Bay. Time and
enterprise will indicate the best places.
Heavy draft ships and steamers will
soon be taking their cargoes of cotton
and corn and rice directly from here to-
foreign ports. Before the rebellion abou'
all these and other products were. taken
to New York aud other Northern cities,
in LIGHT draft vessels from Charleston and
Savannah, and re-shipped at large addi-
tional expense. But these times are
passing away. The Universal Yankee is
here and the vast resources so bountifully
lavished by nature and crushed beneath
the iron heel of slavery, are now being
rapidly developed. Our NEW CITY IS
bound to go ahead and must soon attract
the attention and investments of North
ern capitalists. Grants for land and rail
roads should be got from the United
States Government that they may not be
interferel with b. separate State action.
We solicit brief communications on
this and kindred subjects.

Scalds AMI Burns,

On the instant Of the accident, pluuge
the part under cold water This relieves
the pain in second, and allows all hands
to become composed. If the part can
not be kept under water, cover it over
with dry flour, an inch deep or more.
In severer cases, while, the part Injured
is under water, simmer leek or two in
an earthen vessel, with half their bulk of
hogs lard, until the leeks are soft, then
strain through muslin rag. This makes
greenish- colored ointment, which, when
cool, spread thickly on linen cloth and
apply it to the injured part. If there are
blisters, let out the water. When the
part becomes feverish and uncomfortable,
renew the ointment, aud rapid painless
cure will be the result, if the patient, in
the meanwhile, lives exclusively on fruits,
coarse bread, and other light, loosening
food. If the scald or burn is not very
severe-that is, if it is not deeper than
the outer skin-an ointment made of
sulphur, with lard enough to make it
spread stifiy on linen rag, will be effect
ual. The leek ointment is most needed
when there is liberation from neglected
burns, or wheh the injury is deeper than
surface. As this ointment is very heal
ing and soothing in the troublesome ex-
coriations of children, and also in foul, in
dolent ulcers, and is said to be efficacous in
modifying, or preventing altogether the
pitting of smallpox, it would answer a
good purpose if families were to keep il
on hand for emergencies the sulphur
ointment for moderate cases, and the
leek ointment in those of greater severity
or of deeper nature.-HaRs Journal O
Health.

FurS says a correspondent who seems
thoroughly familiar with the subject,
should never be put away for the sum
mer and forgotten, as they frequently
are, and next to being shut up from the
air, their greatest enemy is damp. If
from the wearer be exposed to rain, they
become wet, they shonld be dried at a
moderate distance from the fire immedi-
ately and in warm weather. when not
required for wear, they should never be
shut in box or other drawer for more
than few days at time, and every few
weeks they should be shaken and beat
en-.
The delicate skins require somewhat
more delicate treatment. The best plan
is probably, not to pack furs away, but
Jet them lie in drawer or wardrobe that
is constantly being opened, so that they
may meet the eye frequently and being
thus often in sight, in it is easy at con.
venient opportunities, to have them ia.
ken out and beaten, or, at any rate, sha.
ken or tossed, and thoroughly exposed
to the air. 1t is common to hear it re-
marked, that the moths get into furs-

is, however, that furs and soolens are an.

POULTRY.

A writer in the Germantown Tel
graph, who had frequently seen char
coal recommended for fattening ami
mails, but who was skeptical as to its
value, satisfied himself with the fol-
lowing experiment
Four turkeys were confined in pen,
and fed on meal, boiled potatoes and
oats. Four of the same brood were
also, at the same time, confined in
another pen, and fed daily on the
same articles, but with the addition of
one pint of very finely pulverized
charcoal, mixed with the meal and
potatoes. They had also a plentiful
supply of broken charcoal in their
pens. The eight were killed on the
same day and there was difference of
one and a half pounds each in favor
of the birds which had been supplied
with charcoal, they being much the
attest, and the meat greatly SUPER
n.
One of the most scientific and sue
essful poultry breeders of Germany,
whose experiments we have personal
examined says in recent number
# the Poultry Journal that young
chickens should never be fed with
joiled eggs nor should they have ac-
,ess to water otherwise than mixed
With their food until several days old.
Many people on the farms with us
are in the habit of mixing dough with
cold water. This is wrong. The In
dian meal ought to be cooked, or at
least scalded. Many lose their young
chickens from neglect to scald the
meal, and wonder what the matter
. was. Poultry is worth too much
now to afford to neglect it.-Mass.
PloWmdn.
The Maine Farmer says that a lady
who always contrives to have plenty
of eggs, says that the best food for
hens is a dough made from meal
from corn and cobs ground together.
Meal Of corn alone, or clear corn,
is apt to fatten the hens too much,
while they do not, in order to be
kept in good laying condition, require
such concentrated food.
When a cat is seen to catch a
chicken, tie it round her neck, and
make her wear it for two or three
days. Fasten it securely, for she
will make incredible efforts to get rid
of it. BE firm for that time, and the
cat is cured-sh will never again
desire to touch bird. This is what
we do with our cats, and wha we rec
ommen9 to our neighbors, and when
they try the experiment, they and
their pets are secure from reproach
and danger thenceforth.
