MI SALE AT cLINIun HALL.

Yesterday evening Messrs. Leavitt, Strebeigh b
Co. placed on auction choice collection OF paint
gs the property OF the late Peter Rice OF Brooklyn.
The attendance was select, mainly composed OF the
friends OF the deceased gentleman and some OF the
first art dealers Of the city. The catalogue COM
prised works OF Rossiter. Mas, Mrs Hart, Gianni,
Cont, Turner, Albertinea, Guerramco and Condy.
The principal buyers were Mr. shannon clerk OF the
Common Council the brother-n-law Of Mr.. Rice, and
Mr. James. Mr.. shannon purchased to the extent Of
$500 and Mr.. James probably expended $1,000.
Foremost among the pictures on the catalogue were
Lot 34-"The Good Samartan.r-An excellent copy
OF Tintoretto's picture, In color and feeling
natural I'm expression, broad and generous IN treat
inelt eat san"A pnner Party."EA well executed pc.
ture, with varied and novel effects OF light and
shade. Sold to Mr.; shannon for 81 So

somewhat curious manner. Sold to MI shannon
Lot 54-"The Virgin on the Throne."-A splendid
copy OF Andrea del Sarto's celebrated work. which Is
ures were remarkably well painted, and the drapery
Of the centre cent, figure showed great power Of define
Lot 57-"La Poesie.r--A copy OF Carlo Dolcrs
famous picture mounted In an exquisite frame, In
laid with miniatures and precious stones. We have
and can say that the copy is not far behind the
Original. Sold to Mr. James for &265. This was the
rSe 0r no xs 4 s eece
by Condy. This avorite artist evidently exerted his
best abilities IN the production Of this picture The
fishing boats IN the foreground, Sptnead on the ex
treme left, and the line OF battle ship In the middle
distance were portrayed by 2 master hand. IL s
said that the late Mr.. Rice paid $500 for
this picture 1t was sold to Mr. James
for $500. Several fine proof engravngs finished the
sale. With the exception OF some others the fore
gong pictures were the only ones deserving OF any
particular criticism. Many Of the lots offered were
purchased by dealers SIMPLY for the frames and In
many cases the frames were OF more intrinsic value
than the productions they adorned. We would sug-
Qest that in the next art sale by Messrs. Leavtt,
Strebeigh co. they would. In entering work on
the catalogue say distinctly whether 1t Is copy
an original. The work No. 10 was entered as an
original lby Salvador RosaI, and when put on the
easel ii turned out mediocre unknown copy, which
realized very small sum. II II had been entered a.
copy, like lot 81 It might have brought Its value.

oTnD of those requiring their
Teeth filled to a COMPOSITION,
FILLING that he prepares and has
used for the past ten years, as it can bere-
commended in all cases where the teeth
are so far decayed as to prevent their be-
ing filled with any filling requiring pres.
sure. AS it approaches nearer the color
of the teeth than Foils, it will be found
satisfactory in filling the badly decayed
front teeth, avoiding the uusightly ap-
pearance of the foil showing through
the thin plate of enamel. Being nearly
as hard as the bone of the teeth it will
prove serviceable in the masticating sur
faces of many teeth. Teeth filled several
years since have been found within
few weeks in nearly as good condi-
ton as when first filled.
Charges for filling with gold, tin, or
artificial Dentine from 50 cents to So,
and teeth inserted on GOLD, SILVER
or VULCANITE, from So to So.

ture of clay in its soil, sown in No.
vember, and top-dressed with ten dol
lars worth of commercial manures per
acre, any time between the lst of Feb
ruary and the lst of April following,
will yield wheat enough to pay for the
manures, bread the family, and buy the
corn the land would have produced.
Any field manured at seeding time
with ten dollars worth per acre of COM
mercial manures, and sown in barley,
and again top-dressed as suggested a.
bove for wheat, will produce grain e.
nough to pay for the manures; and buy
twice as much corn as the land would
have produced without manure.
Any laborer that can cultivate six
acres of cotton and six of corn, can just
as easily cultivate ten acres ofcotton and
eight acres of either of the cereals.
These assertions are not made at ran
dom; they are the results Of my own
experience. And if these facts be true
each planter has to calculate for himself
the difference in cost ofseeding and har-
vesting small grain crop and ofculti7a-
ting a corn crop. Imay be met with the
remark that wheat and barley are too cost
ly to be fed to work animals. I reply,
if they are worth double in market what
corn is, and I can grow a bushel of corn,
they are less expensive feed for my
stock than corn would be. IF their mar
ketable value would be greatly reduced
by being more extensively sown then
we would only be the happier people,
because breadstuffs would be cheaper.
For all small grain crops the land
should be thoroughly prepared as soon
after the 1st October as practicable, and
the grain brushed or narrowed in, not
plowed in, and the land rolled. Har-
vesting should, possible, be done with
a reaper, not with a cradle. The best
GRADER will, in luxuriant small grain
crop, in spite of himself. lose from three
to FIVE bushels per acre. If the land is
properly prepared, the reaper saves it
all.
Were more extended area of thor
oughly prepared land upon all of our
cotton plantations sown in that small
grain best adapted to the respective
plantations, wo could live moro inde-
pendently, raise more stock, set our own
price upon cotton, and not be so-solici.
tous about labor. AM intelligent labor
er, accustomed to improved machinery,
can cultivate more land, and harvest
more grain than any half.dozen men
who use the uncouth implements of
slavery times. As planter, I feel that
the great want of the agricultural inter-
ests of our State is the introduction of
that class ofskilled laborers, who bring
ing their improved implements with
them, will become land proprietors, ra-
ther than the immigration of hordes of
illiterate foreigners, who would soon be-
come demoralized and uncomfortable as
our existing labor.
Very respectfully,

POETRY.
From a Northern Paper.
rnn uEJ THE SOI1TJ


GOD HELP THE SOUTH.
God help the South, dear sunny land,
BY tyrants crushed and riven,
Betrayed, insulted, conquered, taxed
By negroes ruled and driven;
Bright native land of noble hearts,
The Unions truest glory,
The day will come when truth shall write
Your fair, unwarped story.
God help the South; Thine arms alone
Can loose the chains that bind her
Degrading bonds that have too long
Most ruthlessly entwined her,
Lift up the heads now bowed in grief,
Give Joy instead Of sorrow,
And for these. weary hours OF gloom
A calm and glorious morrow.
Their fathers God, and row their own,
On whom their hearts still rested,
When darkest days of grief and woe
Their happy homes invested,
Then was Thine sufficient arm
The power that oft sustained them,
And from more bitter draughts Of grief
Thy pitying hand restrained them.
Still do they turn to Thee, o God:
Give rest from all their adness,
And pour upon their strife.sick hearts
Thy-precious oil Of gladness,
Give them Thy firm, enduring peace
A peace that will not leave them,
Then bitter words shall cease 10 sting
And broken faith to grieve them.
Men call this peace-this wretched thing
o, falsehood basely spoken,
Because their banners trail in dust,
Because their swords are broken.
Because-ah, bittcrest Of all
Their warriors heads are lying
On battle fields too dearly won,
When victory crowned the dying.
All, who shall know the mighty hopes
Relentless death has shattered
A nations hopes, all swept away
Like leaves in autumn scattered.
They hope no more. They turn to Thee,
For only thou canst aid them,
To rise renewed and vigorous still,
From tn ruin we have made them.

AGRICULTURE.
BREAD, MEAT AND FODDER


CoKEsBuRY, S. G., July 10, 1869.
D. Wyatt Aiken sends the following
to the Charleston Nee0s:
The recent publication in the Neps
of much that interests the planter, in
duces me to ask the insertion in your
columns ofan article more appropriate
ly designed for an agricultural journal.
AS large proportion of your readers
are planters, l suggest for their coEsi1d:
Grafton the following inquiry: Does
-eorn planting on upland in South Caro-
lima, or throughout the South, q mean
the cotton belt of the South, y remuner-
ate the planter?
A negative reply comes this year
from all quarters, and the same will be
the case two years in three. The twenty
acre field of upland, that will produce
this year ten bushels per acre, will be
the exception one third of this goes to
the freedmen, and the remaining two
thirds will consumed by wear and tear,
blacksmith's bills, interest, insurance,
taxes, and the mule. The planters
profits will be nothing. Then why do
planters persist in cultivating so exhaus
tive and still so unremuneratiye cop?
lean assign no other reason than the one
assigned by the boy who was asked, why
he went to mill with bushel of meal
in one end of the bag and a rock in the
ether! He replied, he did it because
daddy did it.
Advisingagainst growing upland corn,
lam not an advocate for the cultivation
of cotton to the exclusion of forage and
provision crops. Notat all. Corn should
be grown more or less on all plantations,
but solely upon snch lands as will pay
best IN corn. In my judgment there is
not labor enough in the South to glut
the market, we're every acre of cultiva-
ted land planted in cotton. But il would
be ruinous in more ways than one to
pursue such policy; breadstuffs would
be greatly enhanced, and provender
would become an expensive necessity.
The quantity of corn, however, con-
sumed by mani is but an item in the pro-
ducts of the farm. 1t is the stock that are
the costly consumers, and the object of
this articleisto suggesta method by which
stock canIbe economically fed, labor more
advantageously employed, plantations
improved, and, withal, no corn cnltiva-
ted upon uplands.
Any field capable of producing ten
bushels Of corn per acre, will yield the
the same number of bushels of rye; and
one bushel of rye, ground into meal and
made into "mash" with cut rye, will
feed horse or mule oue-fourth longer
time than bushef of corn.
The same field sown in red oats, any
time between 1st of October and the 1st
of April, will produce threshed oats
enough (the straw being salted and fed
as fodder to feed a number of animals
one-half longer than the corn and fod-
der from the same field.
Any piece of land having an admix-
