BANK STREET.-This street between Main
and the City Hall, is said to be full of stinks
OF almost every variety 1t is fact that ey-
cry case of cholera reported in New York,
has been traced to unclean habits and filthy
premises. Unless the premises are cleansed
and purified by disinfectants, disease is almost
sure to be generated. We call the attention
OF the Street Inspector to the locality which
has been indicated to us.

ANOTHER BURGLARY AND ROBBERY
On Thursday night, rogue cut three or four
Stats out of the front window of Capt Rich
ard ;Taylor's house-the pilot--at No134
Charlotte street, raised the sash, and entered
the parlor He propped the window up with
a stick, to secure place of retreat in the
event of pursuit. He then lita candle, and
ransaeked all the rooms on the lower floor,
carrying off from there two coats belonging
to the Captain, and an artificial fruit basket ;
after which he visited the next floor, and
gathered up two more coats belonging to
Captain Taylor, and two belonging to his
son-in-law, together with a lot Of clothes Of
his younger son. The rogue appears to have
confined his appropriations to male apparel
exclusively, except the fruit basket, as there
were many other valuable articles within his
reach, which he left untouched The clothes
stolen are supposed to be valued at about
500. He made his escape by the front
door, which he left open.

More about Tobacco.

Mr. Editor: In this my second article on
The subject of Tobacco, propose giving somc
directions how to prepare the land for trans
planting, together with some other directions
which will be needed before the third article
makes it's appearances
The land having been cut down, should.
as soon as possible, be cleared Of leaves and
trash, and broken up with colttf or small
plow; it should be broken each way and then
laid off about three feet wide between the rows,
and small Hills made with hoe, about three
feet apart or if preferred, it MI be checked
and the hills made where the burrows cross
each other, though the latter process may be
delayed till the plants are nearly large enough
for transplanting.
The plants should be from three to five inch
es long, so as to admit Of being planted suf
fciently deep to retain moisture about the
roots. They should be planted Grmly BY press
ing the dirt to the roots with planting peg,
unless the ground is very wet, in which cnse,
the presspsa Should be light; they must be
planted deep enough for the bud to be even
with the surface, or little below it.
Land for Tobacco, whether old or new
ground, should not be Permitted to get foul,
either before or after the crop is planted; old
land may be kept clean by plowing; and new
ground, by chopping the bushes and weeds
with Il hoe. Tobacco, in old ground, will need
plowing and hocing about as often as corn
and in new ground, must be cultivated entire
ly with the hoe, after it is planted
With these remarks, [ hope the planters will
see their way clear until the appearance Of my
next article.

POETRY.
IT'S Mind that Makes Nobility,

In ancient times, when feudal state
Was all the ,,ntnught serf deemed great
When tilts were won when fair cnes safe
Rehuking imbecility.
When the stout arm was valned most,
And sturdy spirits power could boast,
To rule n realm, or rout u host
Might seemed to be nobility.
And when Of chivalry grown tired.
The world with love.of wealth was fired,
And brute strength in arms expired
Of cunning and servility;,
The patient plodder who could best
Resign his claim to peace and rest.
Got gold or rank, and thus was blest
With what looked like nobility.
But lawless force has been laid low;
Wealth's power must NEE its overthrow;
And Reason rousing Mt the blow,
Shall, by her grand fertility,
Plan greatly for the poor mans good;
Prove humankind a brotherhood,
And make it -fct-understo ood-
That blood bath no nobility.
Look up. then, thou who art oppressed
BY those whom fortune hath caressed-
Who have thy bosom oft distressed
BY slnndcr and scurrility
Learn all thou canst be Heaven adored;
Keep faith; whnte'er the fates afford
Enjoy. and truckle to no lord 3,
'Tis mind that makes nobility.

PREsENrMENrs OF THE GRAND JURY

For Pichens District SouM Curolino, made
at Spring Term.vf the. Court of General
Sessions for said District, IN tie gear one
...tltopsand' eight hundred and s'aty-sia.
To the Honorable FRANKLIN j. MOSES, Pre-
siding Judge of the said Court:
The Grand Jury aforesaid respectfully beg
leave to make the following prese ;tments:
First. They present that the public roads
and bridges in said District are generally III
bad order, and need Immediate .,ttcntion-
This state of things is so universal throughout
the District that they do not consider it prac-
tica6e to report all the particular instances.
They recommend tlsat rules be forthwith
served upon the various Commissioners of
Roads and Bridges in said District, requiring
them to have the roads within their jurisdic.
lions put in good order, and the bridges re-
paired or rebuilt as the case may require.
Second. They present that the Court House
and Jail of the District are in general good
repair. Some panes of glass are wanting and
some small repairs required in both buildings,
which they are satisfied have been neglected
from the difficulty with which such repairs
have been attended for the past few years.
The Jurors arc satisfied that the Commission
ers of Public Buildings will attend to che mat
ter upon this suggestion, without further ac-
tion being necessary. Some small matters
beside, are required at thc Jail for the comfort
and decency Of the prisoners, which will doubt
Cess also be now supplied.
Third They present that they have exam
1ned the Offices Of the Clerk, Sheriff, Commis-
sioner in Equity and Ordinary of said District
and cannot refrain from expressing their graf
ification with the neat and accurate manner in
which &c records of all these Offices are kept
and tn faith(ulness with which the public
business respectively committed to those Of
fcers is discharged.
Fourth. They present that the Poor House
in said District is kept in excellent condition,
aud the paupers are as comfortably provided
for as the resources at the command of the
Steward will permit. The paupers speak with
satisfaction Of the manner in which they are
cared for. There are some lack Of comforts,
owing to the want of funds upon the part of
the Board but this. will be rcmedied in few
weeks, through the collection of tho taxes of
the District. So soon as the means of the
Board will permit, the Jurors recommend that
an addition of one roop be made to the dwell.
ing house, there being no room now sufficient,
ly large for the meeting of the Board or Ju-
rors; and also that an addition be made to
the Paupers House, the present one having
but two rooms, is not sufficient even for the
present numberof paupers, (beng seven) and
in the event Of amy increase Of paupcrs the
accommodations for them would be entirely
too contracted. The chimncy'of the paupcrs'
house should be built up higher, to prevent
