CHARLt sToN, January 5, 1863.
To the President and Directors Of the South
Carolina Railro ad:
GENTLE,1EN-After serving, as well as 1 know
how, for nearly quarter of century as
member of your board, my feelings admonlsh
me Of the propriety Of this step. The annual
elections are near at hand. and as it is my
fixed purpose to retire, I beg that my resisna-
ton may be accepted now.
Itis painful to part from those who have 30
faithfully labcred in the cause of n desolated
country. Tho past is full OF sorrow, tine pres
ent of anxiety and doubt; pray that tho fu-
ture may bring upon its wings the tidin%s OF
consolation aud hope; that our afflicted people
may receive aid aud comfort. and the destiny
of our State be again prosperous and happy.
To the fulfment of this Wish You will contr-
butte by your labors. The history of your road
is written upon the ground over which 1t pass
es, and I cherish the hope that the patriotic
design OF Its founders, OF which [ am one OF
the least worthy, will yet be consummated in
the commercial Advancement OF the State and
The prosperity aud happiness OF her people.
With atfectionate respect and regard, am
gentlemen, faithfully yours,
ALFRED HUGER.

PRESIDENTS OFFICE,

Hon. -ayTed l. hyer, CR6FGStoR'
My DEAR SIR-I received with profound re-
gret your request to lay before the Board OF
Directors your letter OF resignation.
Il is always painful to part from those with
whom our associations have been long and
kind, but from one who is revered and admired,
and from whose lips We have been accustomed
to receive the teachings that elevate the sentl-
ments aud enlarge the mind, the separation ID
both painful and depressing. Influenced by
these feelings, l was reluctant to present your
resignation to the board, and finally complied
only in obedience to your wishes. ln these
sentiments the whole board concur; and III the
following resolutions, proposed by your Old
friond and colleague, the Bon. G. a. Trenholm,
and unanimously adopted, they lave them
selves given utterance to their feellnSs:,
"Resosued, That Ill compliance with the
wishes of the Hon. Alfred Huger, as EXPRESSED
in his letter of January 5, his resignation from
this beard ls respectfully assented to.
"ReSO!ved, AS the unanimous sense or this
meeting. tnat in the long period of twenty-five
years, during which hlr. Huger has unInter-
ruptediy held seat in this boald, his high
character and able counsels have at all times
contributed essentially to the reputation OF the
company and to tho successful management oi
their Affairs.
RESCUED, That the president be, and he is
hereby, requested to tender the Hon. Mr. HUI
ger travelling ticket for life over the several
roads of the company"
In transmitting these resolutions, as 1t has
been made my agreeable duty to do, avail
myself of the opportunity to assure you OF my
earnest and sincere sympathy with every scnti-
ment they EXPRESS.
And joining you 10 the patriotic wish for the
return Of prosperity and happiness to our State
and people, remain With great respect pee ana
regard, yours, w. ). MAGkAIh,
President

Deep PlOMgfling.

From time to time l have
read in your much valued pap
err selected articles on Deep
Culture Thorough Culture
and similar topics. Now these
articles read very nicely and
are evidently believed by those
who wrote them, and I too
might have believed them, if |
had not witnessed the effects of
a deep ploughing that was a
little too deep. You, Of course,
know that at the close of the
war great numbers of we poor
rebels were very glad to rent
our places to the enterprising
Yankees, who came in shoals to
plant cotton. | was Of this
number. In 1866 I rented out
one thousand acres Of my land
at five dollars. an acre. 1t was
agood bargain and was faithful
ly kept. The renter, a real
live Yankee, brought with him
more tools and fxings than I
had ever imagined made.
Among other things, he bro t
some Of the biggest ploughs
that ever a horse was hitched
to. He tore up the ground to
| a depth never seen in this Sec
ton before. Everybod said
he was running the land by
turning the clay subsoil on top
that he would not make his
seed back. And for once, every =,
body was right. He did fail,
most successfully, and l have
not been able to make half a
crop on the land since. But he
paid his rent and acted on the
square with me, and | have no
complaint to make of him, but
| wish to know how the advo-
Gates of deep ploughing recon
Gle these facts with their theo-
ry. A. A.
Tuscumbia, Alab., 1869.
Deep ploughing is most ex-
cellent, when practiced rightly
but it will not do to apply any
rule to all cases. The soil on
the farm spoken of by our COR
respondent is quite thin, and
the subsoil is clay. Now, fin
stead Of putting in the great
turning plough mentioned, the
man had used ordinary turn
ing ploughs that would have
turned over only the soil and
followed in the furrow thus
opened with long, keen bull
tongues, he would have had
the right kind of ploughing.
