POETRY.
A cONFEDERA ATE NOTE.

The following lines were written on The
los, note ofa Confederate soldier after Gen.
Lees surrender May Goth, four years after
South Carolina joined the Confederacy;
Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And naught in the waters below it;
AS pledge of nation that's dead and gone,
Keen it, dear friend and show it.
Show it to those who will lend an ear
To the tale that this paper can tell
Of Liberty, born Of the patriots dream,
OF a storm Graded nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ore,
Too much stranger to borrow,
We issued to day our promise 10 pay,
Hoping to redeem on the morrow.
But days flew by, weeks became years,
Our Golfers were empty still,
Coin was so rare our treasury'd quake
II a dollar should drop in the till.
We knew it had scarcely value in gold,
Yet as gold our soldiers received it,
1t looked in our eyes promise to pay,
And each patriot soldier believed it.
But the faith that was in US was strong indeed,
And our poverty we'll we discerned,
And these little checks represented The pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
But our boys thought little Of price or pay,
Or Of bills that were overdue;
We knew ifi brought US our bread to-day,
1t was the best our country could do.
Keepit; it tells all our history over,
From the birth Of the dream to its last,
Modest, and born Of the angel Hope,
Like our hope of success-it passed.

AGRICULTURE,
THE EXPERIENCE OF ANOTH-
Err SUCCESSFUL PLANTER.

We are again favored says the An
dersou nteNigencer with au opportunity
of presenting the views and experience
of an intelligent and successful planter
to our readers. A letter before US from
Maj R. A. Griffin, of Ninety Six, in
Abbeville District, gives his experience
in regard to the use of fertilizers, their
mode of application and other matters
of interest to the farming community.
We make the following interesting ex
tracts:
"I always roll my seed in some ofthe
Phosphates, and often mix with Peru
Wan Guano, (two,thirds Phosphate and
one-third Peruvian,) and frequently
with Peruvian Guano and Plaster, all
with good effect. IF could afford to
do no more, I would always roll as a.
bove. 1t brings up the plant strong
and vigorous, and facilitates the culti-
walton, and would pay in this way, if
the yield was not increased one pound.
DR.. Blake mixed Peruvian Guano and
ashes, and rolled his seed in the morn
ing sufficient for all days planting
When the time arrived for it to come
up, he found the forenoon's planting of
each day, throughout the crop, good
stand-the evenings planting nc stand
at all. How do you account for that ?
Ashes and guano should never be mixed,
which you already know.
81 am now top-dressing my wheat
with Baugh's Rawbone Phosphate, at
the rate OF 100 pounds to the acre !;
would mix Plaster if I had it on hand,
though I don't know that it would be
of much benefit, unless the grain cover
ed the ground, as the Plaster possesses
no fertilizing qualities, except through
the blades of plants. 1t might fix the
ammonia in the Phosphates. The land
I am now dressing will be sown in clo-
yer, and when it covers the ground will
dress with plaster. You might mix
one-third Peruvian Guano, and two,
thirds Phosphate, and say one bushel
of Plaster mixed with all you apply to
an acre, with good effect. I have tried
it on clover, and its effects were marked.
Il applied the Wando, Soluble, Pa
cife and Baugh's Phosphate to turnips,
five hundred pounds of the three alto
gether, applied separately, but the
worms destroyed them. I then sowed
three bushels of barley per acre on the
lot, which is now very fine, high enough
to cut with reap hooks. I see no diff:
ference in the different plats.
clam planting quite largely this year;
propose to plant three hundred acres

Guano to the entire crop. At my plan.

but am trying to have things done as

The Suffrage Amenamsst.
The Washington Chroaicle in speaking o. the
action by Congress en- the suffrage Cohst'ti-
ton amendment says:
We shall not multiply reasons, however,
for the adoption OF measure Whicn' We
doubt not. i already fully resolved npon.
All "a need % do Is to call attention to the
fac. that time il rapidly passing away, and
that The season should not be allowed to pass
away without taking action. Let il be re-
membered that We now have the power to
carry this suffrage amendment not only y
Congress. hut in The States, assuming that oil
the Republican Legislatures viii support it.
If We neglect 10 embrace this opportunity
promptly, it may be Withdrawn for time,
and good work delayed; although the nj.
innate triumph Of justice may be reckoned
upon as certain with or without our help. As
to the form Of the new amendment, the fol.
lowing, introduced day or two since by
Senator Thayer Of Nebraska; seems broad
enough to meet the case, and is, perhaps, IS
good ~ any that can be suggested:
No male citizen Of the United States twen>
one years of age and upward, not insane or
indio,, shall be deprived OF the right to vote
at any election held by the people for national
state or municipal officers, or for Represen.
