How History is Written.

! In the sermon of Rev. II. W. Beecher,
| on the death Of Abraham Lincoln, we Fl nd
! the following curious statement gravely
delivered as fact Whether Parson Beecher
himself believes it-he being considered
man considerable capacity, with large
tinct Oh insanity in veins and brains-is
m,,thing doubtful. 1t is very clear if he
does believe it, he cannot accord much Gre
dit for brains or any other mental quality
to Governor Pickens. The extract is from
the New York Independent: .t
"In council held in the city of Charles
ton, just preceding the attack on Fort
Sumter, two commissioners were appoint
ed to go to Washing on-one on the part
of the army from Fort Sumter, and one on
the part of the Confederates. The lieute.
nant that was designated to go for US said
it seemed to him that it would be of little
use for him to go, as his opinion was
immovably. fixed in favor of maintain in j,
the Government in whose service he was
employed. Then Gov. Pickens took him
aside. detaining. for an hour and half.
the railroad train that;was to convey them
on their errand. He opened to him the
whole plan and secret of the Southern
conspiracy, and said to him, distinctly and
repeatedly, {for it was needful, he said, to
lay aside dsguises,) that the South had
never been wronged, and that all their
pretences of grievance in the matter of
tariffs, or anything else, were invalid.
But said he, we must carry the people
with US; and we allege these things, as all
statesmen do many things that they do not
believe. because they are the only instru-
ments by which the people can be ma
naged.' He then and there declared that
the two sections of country were so anita
gonistic in ideas and policies that they
could not live together, that it was fore
ordained that Northern and Southern men
must keep apart on account of differences
in ideas and policies. and that all the pre-
tences OF the South about wrongs suffered
were but pretences, as they very well
knew. This is testimony WHICH was given
by one Of the leaders in the rebellion, and
which will probably, ere long, be given
under hand and seal to the public So
the South has never had wrong visited
upon it except by that which was Inherent
In it"

A Richmond correspondent of North
ern paper states that many young ladies
OF that city. raised and living heretofore
in wealth and luxury, are leaving to seek
employment elsewhere, as last resort to
avert starvation. They are forced to do
so by the utter impoverishmeut of their
parents as result of the war. Their
houses in the country have been entirely
overrun and desolated. and they are now
driven to earn a livelihood either bv the
needle, the pen or as governesses. A few
more weeks will develop changes in pro.
perty, social standing and habits of life
that can hardly be realized.

The CorroN Now IN TIE SoUTu-The
New York Journal of Comme, ce makes the
following remarks on the probable amount
of cotton now on hand in the South:
We have been repeatedly asked to give
some information in relation to the amount
of cotton on hand in the South. The diff.
fculty in forming an approximate estimate
has arisen mainly from the impossibility
of ascer: aiming to what extent che actual

ers to cultivate this crop. 1t has been
absolutely impossible for them to find rope
and bagging TO prepare the cotton for the
market after it was picked, or to transport
it to any place of sale, and the local au.
thorities have used every means in their
power to compel the landowners to raise
cereals in place of the great staple Since
the fall of Mobile. we have been, able to
extend our researches at the South, and
we have now obtained what we consider
reliable data for fair estimate of the
quantity of cotton still on hand within
the socalled Southern lines. We place the
whole amount as equal to 100000 ordi
nary bales Some Of it is in the seed, and
large quantity is still unpacked for want
of the proper Material and facilities. Our
Mobile correspondent figures the total at
100000 bales, but some of his assump-
tions are ip excess OF known results, and
we are confident that our estimate is very

Fruit and .Gsa.n Culture.


In the diminution oc our field labor,
and in the exhaustion of our capital in
mules. horses and ether implements of our
former indus.ly, to say nothing of the
absurd.y of our continuing an idle con
test, in our poor lands. in the culture of
cotton, in competition with the fertile val.
lies Of the Southwest, the policy Of our
farmers will be to enter as largely as pos
sible into the culture of fruits and the
small grains, such as rye, oats. wheat,
barley, buckwheat, &c. The apple can be
brought to as much perfection i'll the stiff
lands of our middle country as In the more
hilly region. 1t needs only that we should
choose our trees under fhe directions of
some expe, fenced teacher, such as William
Summer, of Pomaria, who, it is to be
hoped, though suffering largely in the war,
is sill able to supply the country with
the very best varieties of trees. The cider
press should accompany the apple culture,
and, through this agent, we may substi-
tute very innocent an agreeable beve
rage for very noxious one. The peach
culture, it is we'll known, may be rendered
as highly successful in our middc and low
country as in any other part Of the world.
Indeed, such districts as Orangeburg, Lex
ington. Barnwell, Edgefed, &c, have
already secured reputation for the abun
dance of the crop aud the exquisite supe-
riority of the fruit. The success of VIM.
Gregg and othcrs about Aiken is not due
to any superior excellence in their soils
but in the superior good sense, and study,
and industry Of the cultivators. Ifpeach
or apple brandy is to be made from these
fruits. then, by pains-taking and little
increase of study, the article can be rem
dered far superior to what is ordinarily
sold or prepared under tbe names of .hese
liquors. We need hardly add, that the
cultivation of the grape in the same Segion
is already known as an assured success.
And so simple is the practice of wine
making, that one needs no great exercise
u

study, even for this, and close attention
will material| -" We this article and
commend it to eral use. Briefly. we
are now require. substitute The farming
policy or thorough tilloge for the planta-
tion or staple culture. In this culture. we
need less numerous labor and with five
hired servants, who vii! faithfully work,
we shall probably realize more gains, and
maintain our souls in greater degree of
peace, than with fifty idle and thrift
less slaves, with whom we have to war
perpetually, if only to keep them from
rotting through laziness. We shall need
to work more with our minds and thoughts,
and be assured that, if we shall do this,
we shall greatly lessen. the labor of our
hands. ).
