Crop Pfospects..---e.-'~ .
The Wilmington Journal saws:

We have 'conversed with nm intel,;.
gent gentleman, in whom We have
implicit. confidence, who has re-.
Gently made tour through the prin.
lcipal portions Of ,Darlipgton. Ches-
ter, Marion and, Sumtef Districts
south Carolins. and asportion OF
Anson County, North Carolina, and
from the information he gives us,
we are led to believe that the present
prospects for good crop of cotton are
very favorable. The plant was in
many instances up, and doing we'll,
ana where it was not already UP, it
was coming up finely. Some appre-
henslon was felt on account of the
late heavy rain, but that seems to
have been dispelled in great mea-
sure. The rain does not appear to
nave been so destructive as was first
feared.
From present appearances and
from all our informant could learn.
lanti he took pains in posting him
seif,) we mny at least hope for o good
crop this year. The wheat, in the
upper country, was never known to
be better, and if no fatality to this
latter crop should happen before
harvest, we shall, with the prospects
Defore us, reap the best harvest
known for many season. There
has been very heavy outlay made bv
the farmers in the way of fertilizers.
The only fault to be found with our
farmers, particularly in the cotton
regions OF South Carolina, is. that
they pay but little attention to the
Importance of raising grain and
other provisions. This is to be re-
GREETED, but, of course, every farmer
knows what appears to be best for
himself, and we do not know that
we have any right to advise other
wise: We are highly pleased to hear
the favorable prospects before us.
We regret to learn from our friend,
that there is considerable destitution
in Sumter District, for the want of
food amongst the poorer classes.
10 alleviate this condition, we have
seen in the papers thnt aid had been
rendered them; but of course that
aid had not been received to the ex-
tent that was requisite. The want
OF food and raiment in any section
OF the South is mainly attributable
to the fact that the cotton regions
consult more the dimes to be real
ized from cotton, than they do the
inner man of the helpless. When
our people learn to produce. food to-
gether with cotton, they will have
arrived at point in which they are
as yet infants. We hope they will
not remain infants many more years.

New, BETTER AND CHEAPER Cas-
BY recent experiments made in the
presence of disinterested parties, the
great value and economy of the gas
produced by the mode adopted by
the Petroleum. Calcium Gas Light
Company, has been fully demonstrate
ed. This is true not only as applied
to the lighting of single residences,
hotels and factories, but also in it's
application to works erected for light
ing cities, where coal alone is used
in the manufacture of gas. In the
petroleum-calcium process of manu-
featuring gas, coal and the residCum
of coal oil are used in connection, or
the residuum and lime, dispensing
with coal altogether. It has been
proved beyond doubt, that two re-
torts of the ingredients last named
will produce in the samo time rs
much gas as three retorts of coal,
thus saving one-third of the cost of
erecting and maintaining the works.
And then, too, 300 feet of the pc
troleo- calcium 8 will burn, by
actual measurement, as long as 450
of the ordinary gas furnished in our
cities. Two burners using this mix
ed gas of coil, oil and lime has On
illuminating power equal to three
consuming the city gas. If our gas
companies would adopt this new
method, they could furnish their
customers with better gas, and twenty
per cent. cheaper than they now sup
ply Wheeling Inteiliqencer.

The Richmond Enquirer. of

The Richmond Enquirer. of the
11th, says:
The ladies Of Richmond concluded
on yesterday the good work in which
they have been for more than two
weeks engaged. The attendance was
good, and the spacious saloons pre-
sented q most animated and interest
ing spectacle.
..Fair childhood prattled in the hall,
counting its toys; and youth was ray,
AS standing in life's middle way,
1t heard both Hope and Memory call"
Matrons comely and refined, and
maidens fair and blushing as the
opening rose, wandered through the
saloons, descanting upon the beauties
OF scene of which they were, how
ever, the brightest ornaments. Smiles
ripple across rosy lips, girlish laugh
ter thrills merrily upon the mir, and
in gazing on the bright faces around,
one might we'll be tempted to believe
that sorrow had never clouded those
radiant features. But "every heart
knoweth its own bitterness" and if
we look beneath the smiling surface
we should find that the iron has
entered many soul, and that in
many q bosom gnaws grief which,
though concealed by smiles, is mono
the less corroding. Among all those
here present there is scarcely one
who has not given some loved one to
the cause. Worthy daughters of the
mothers of the revolution, the wo-
men of Virginia entered heart and
sonl into the struggle for Southern
independence. Attached rs they
we're to the Union, cementcd by the
blood of their forefathers, and to the
starry flag which their sires had so
often borne to victory, they pre-
ferred freedom to name, and liberty
to painted banner.
