commanded Che Sd Sub District of Western South.
Carolina, comprising the Districts of Anderson,
pickens, Greenyiils and Abbeville. This Sub
District is now broken up, and each separate Dis
triot receives small garrison in lien of the Maine
Battalion This town. therefore, loses its I'M
portance as a military post, being no Longer the
headouarters Of Q numerous command. In part
ing from Gel. Brown and his Battalion, candor
compels us TO declare there is small regret among
our citizens thereat, because unfortunate circum-
stances had engendered deep and lasting prejudi-
ces among many of thesoldiers towards our peo-
plegenerally, and the atmosphere of Anderson was
by no means pleasant or agreeable to them. Equal
satisfaction, ne doubt not, is experienced by such
members of the Battalion as entertained these pre-
JUDGES. Well, it's oil over now, and five breathe
frecr for She moment, who can blame us !?

cupy towards the Government anu ils aSen's :
Beyond question, the earnest, thinking mtjorty OF
those heroic armies are now quiet, peaceable 10y

mission, and reckoned, how dearly, the giving up
of cause for whiok they freely bled and danger

it ia foul asperson to- assert that they have not
adhered we'll and faithfully to-, that pledge. With
few exceptions where impctuous blood has tri-
umphed over discretion and judgment, the men
who followed LEE, JOHNSTON and BEAUREGAnD are
winning bright and enduring laarels by their pa
ticut endurance Of manifold evils by their silent
acquiescencein in arbitrary measures, and by proud
determination to prove themselves as honorable
and conscientious in peace rs they were gallant
and meritorious in war. The Confederate soldiers,
then, are not to be enumerated among the disafec-
ted, ;s such there be among us. But, if there be
class of people in the South who look with dis
fayor.upon everything which smacks of Union or
Reconstruction, it is TINT greSdy horde of cormo-

The most superficial observer travelling
either IN England or on the continent, must
have noticed the extreme care which is taken
to preserve trees and fruits from destruction
Americans would do well to copy after the
example Of their European neighbors in this
matter. Yearly and daily and hourly our
magnificent forests, the distinctive beauty of
an American landscape, are falling under the
woodlands aXe-a sacrifice to the greed of
gain. Undoubtedly one cause of the different
estimate OF the inhabitants of the two countries
put upon the value of trees is, that in old
countries the fact is realized that the forests
are nearly gone, and must be guarded if any
portion Of them is saved. In America, on the
contrary, settlers never can believe that the
vast forests will be exhausted. The result,
however, is the same. A farmer having
selected his land, at once goes to work to clear
of the timber; and, seemingly possessed of an
unqmet spirit urging him off, stops not until
he has removed nearly every particle Of the
wood often leaving his cottage standing alone
without even the shelter of a solitary tree-a
hery furnace IN Summer, and bare and bleak
place in Winter. Nor do the consequences
end here. The farmer soon finds the cooling
springs, at which he was wont to water his
tlocks either drying up earlier than usual or
afiording much less water than when he first
settled the farm, and ignorantly attributes it to
an unusual number of droughts and "dry
SPELLS instead of finding the true solution in
the fact that the chief protection of the cooling
springs that formed such prominent feature
of attraction in causing him to purchase was
destroyed by himself when he cut down the
forests. But notwithstanding the vastness of
the forests that nature so prodigally scattered
over the country, they are fast disappearing
before the axe, and it is now a serious question
how long they will last.-Jou. Of Com.

as that of the plum, and the color. when rina>

The bush is very productive Every branch
IS loaded with the berries, which grow two in
place on the opposite side of each other,
and about an inch and a half apart. When
ripe the skin bursts open and the grains of
coffee fall out upon the ground; but a more
general way IS to spread something under the
bush and shake the coffee down After the
outer skin is taken off there remains kind of
musk over each kernel, which is broken off

Is, perhaps, the finest and most abundant Of

grows on a vine very much like our grape vine.
The pepper grows and looks when grown very
much like our red currants. There is this
difference, however, the currant has each its
own distinct stem, but the pepper has not;
every grain grows hard on to one common
stem, just as each grain of Indian corn does
on the cob. The color of the pepper when
fIrst ripe IS almost bright red, and changes
to the dead black by being exposed to the heat
of the sun.
The white pepper is nothing more than the
common black with the outer skin taken off.
1t IS first soaked until the skin bursts open,
w which IS then rubbed off and the grain dried.
he white is not considered so pungent as the
black, though 1t is nicer and more expensive,
as more labor Is necessary in order to prepare it.

DURABLE FENCE PosT.-We have from time
70 time published facts to prove that posts put
the ground top end down, will last longer
nan when placed the other way. We now
add another to the list. Recently, we met
William A. Otis, Esq, of this city, when he
told US that he had Just been removing some
posts and rail fence which he built twenty-fou
years ago. The fence posts, set then butt
down, We're nearly all rotted off in ten years,
when new ones were set in the same way,
below the old ones, in the middle of each
PANEL and the old ones allowed to remain.
The posts set . fourteen years ago were now all
accidentally with the top in the ground, and
perfectly sound their entire length, and will
probably last twenty-four more! We might
state that the gate-posts were cut off at the
forks of the trees, which made the upper end
largest, and hence the largest ends weee placed
in the ground, Ohio Farmer,
