,.Thaaa proportions should be borne in
mind in considering the general statements
which follow:
First Division. The area in wheat is less
than last year; but the grain looks very
well, the rust has done no harm, and fair
average crop will be made. Much less corn
was planted than in 1868; but in oonse-
quencs Of unfavorable seasons many hum
dreds' Of acres Of cotton were ploughed up
and replanted in corn, which will bring up
the area in corn 70 that Of former years.
The corn has been back ward but ia coming
ON rapidly, and an abundant crop will be
made.
Much more cotton than usual was plant
ed-in Spartanburg about twice as much.
The plant was injured by frost and large
area ploughed up and put in corn. The
stand now is poor, and the crop is three or
four weeks late. Under favorable circum-
stances, the yield, notwithstanding the in.
creased quantity originally planted, will fall
short Of that Of last year. Oats are doing
finely. More attention is being paid to the
cultivation ofgrasses. Fertilizers wers used
freely and In greater quantities than ever
known before. oas P!altor, and not q
large one, spent $500 in fertilizers, and
considers himself amply repaid.
The negroes are working well, especially
where their employers go into the field
with them. Politics receive but little at
tention. The people generally are out Of
d0bt, ana the prospects Of the whole divi-
sion are highly encouraging.
Second Division. As q rule, less wNSat
has been sown than last year, Chesterfield
being about the only exception. The grain,
however, is unusually aue, and full crop

The Crops i'm the state.

Tie letters published in our columns du-
rag the last week show in detail the con-
dition and prospects Of the crops in every
part of the State, and, written as they we're
by men thoroughly familiar with the agri-
cultural condition of their respective neigh
borhoods, the information which they con-
tain is as valuable as it is interesting AT
this time it is, of course, too early to esti-
mate the cotton crop Of the State; but the
area in cultivation indicates what the result
should be with favorable seasons But the
corn and wheat crops are 80 far advanced
that their extent may be readily calculated
We are also able to show the manner in
which the freedmen are working, and what
is the appar ent effect of the use Of fertiliz
ers Taking, then, the reports already
published as basis, and adding to them
agricultural intelligence obtained from other
sources, we are able to draw some general
conclusions in regard to labor and the crops
in South Caroline. For the purpose Of
showing these clearly, we divide the State
into four groups of counties. 1. The noun
tain region, consisting of Oconee, Pickens,
Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg
The upper middle section, consisting of
Abbeville, Laurens, Union, York, Chester,
Edge6eld, Newberry, Fairfield, Lancaster,
Kershaw and Chesterfield. 8. The lower
middle section, consisting Of Marlboro,
Lexington, Richland, Sumter, Darlington,
Marion, BarnwelI, Orangeburg, Clarendon
and Williamsburg. 4. The seacoast region,
consisting Of Beaufort, Colleton, Charles.
ton, Georgetown and Horny. The agrioul-
tural characteristics of the four divisions
are pointed out by the census Of 1860, which
shows the crops in that year to have been
as follows:
Corn. Wheat Cotton. Rice

they will need, considerable quantity Of
grain must be bought before the c-er %
1870 comes in. Not nearly as much as was
bought in 1s67-68 should, however. be neo
essary. More oats will, il is believed, be
raised than ever before.
q The cotton crop OF the State will
more likely fall short Of than exceed the
crop Of 1862. The increased area in
cotton and the liberal use Of fertilizers win
be fully neutralized by the cold opring, and
by the fact that the freedmen are now more
largely than ever planting on their own ao-
count The lard 60 planted is included In
the increased area Of the year, but the
yield Per acre will, on account Of careless
cultivation, be much less than where the
land is titled by regross directed by white
men. For these reasons We set down the
crop Of South Carelina for le69-7O at say
175. 900 bales.
., The prospects aef rice are fair, and
with good seasons the crop Of l869-7O
should reach $4,000 tieroes.
4 The freedmen are working az least as
well as last yesr, and in the upper parts Of
the State are working better. Politics are
growing less attractive; and the laborers
are gradually settling down TO the oonvio
tion that they can make bread and meat
more easily by working. than by running to
the polls and waiting for acres and mules
which will never come, unless as the re-
ward Of patient industry. u

JOHN RANDOLPH.

Randolph was once opposing a mo-
ton for an appropriation for the public
buildings. He rose, and in his shrill,
clear voice, moved to refer the subject
to the committee on unfinished business.
A workman in the gallery, irritated at
the opposition to what was to constitute
his support, cried out in voice some
thing like Mr.. Randolph's: /
move, Mr.. Speaker, that the gentleman
be referred to the same committee. y
This retort upon the Informed orator
set the whole house in roar. The
sergeant-at-arms was despatched to ar
rest the offender; but he had disap-
peared.
An Irishman, just arrived in the
country, was anxious to become ac-
quainted with the eccentric orator of
Roanoke He undertook to introduce
himself, and approached him with
"Haye l the honor of addressing the
distinguished American orator, Mr..
Randolph" "That is an honor al
low only to those with whom | am ac-
quainted. replied Randolph, in his
sarcastic Tone After some conversa-
ton, he asked the Irishman how long
he had been in the country. He re-
piled: 81 have been but short time
in the country; have had the honor to
be introduced to General W., Colonel
B., Major c., and numerous other Off
GERS. Your revolutionary war, Mr.
Randolph, must have been very un.
! fortunate; indeed, ! may say, disas-

MRS. JOHN TYLER.

All who knew Miss Julia Gardiner
remember the charm of her conversa-
ton, her wit, her piquancy, and her
radiant countenance, bewitching grave
and gay, old and young. She was one
of those born to shine, to carry hearts
by storm. The daughter of the Hon.
David Gardiner, of Gardeners Island,
she was educated in refinement and
luxury, and early showed her posses
sion of mind of rare powers. When
she entered society, at very youthful
age, many were the poetic tributes that
proved her attractions-and grave SEN
ators, judges, and state governors were
among the suitors for her hand; yet
she remainad heart-whole and fancy
free. Her parents took their two
daughters, Julia and Margaret, abroad,
and their beauty and grace everywhere
met with Distinguishing attention. The
recipients oft,honage from men OF
princely rank and fortune, had they
been less true to their American in
stincts, their destinies would have been
cast in a foreign land. Miss Gardiner
was unmoved by rank and wealth, and
refused to exchange her republican
home for one under a monarchical gov
ernment.

r~The Port Jervis m YOUnio

Es- The Port Jervis IN. Y. Union
says: "Mr. Silas r. Horton, the
well known insurance agent at Gosh
en- and Craigville, is the discoverer
of the mineral heretofore unknown
to science, which has been named
Hortonolite, by Professor Bush, of
Yale College. This rare and curl
GUS mineral is translucent, and of an
olive green color, in thin pieces, but
black in the mass; has peculiar
ring, like piece of metal, and is es-
sentially glass of iron, formed, no
doubt, by the intense heat of volcanic
fires, at some remote age. 1t con-
tains about so per cent. of the purest
iron ever known, and will, probably,
prove of large pecuniary value to the
owner of the property, 2. P. Par
rott, Esq, of Greenwood, which fact
was at once made known to him by
Mr.. Horton. This mineral is simi-
lar in composition to the ore from
which the celebrated Damascus steel
was made, used by the Turks for
their sabers, in olden times"

AMERICAN COURT CIRCLES,

Mrs. Z F. Ellet's new work on the
Court Circles of the Republic" is
now nearly invested with the ''im-
mortality of type" and will speedily
be offered to the public. 1t consists Of
collection of sketches and anecdotes
illustrating the life, manners, and Gus
toms of society at the National Capt.
tai during the administration of eighteen
Presidents. 1t is devoted particularly
to "the beauties and celebrities of the
nation," of whom fifteen are chosen for
presentation in portraits on STEEL
Among these elites are Mrs. E, F. El-
let, Mrs. William Sprague, Mrs. John
Tyler. Mrs. General Grant, Mrs Hen
ry ] Butterfeld, Mrs Tuley, Mrs. ].
T. Thomas, Mrs. w. G. Ray, Mrs.
Salle Ward Hunt, Rosa V. Jeffrey,
and Mrs. General Gaines. The work
seems rather hastily constructed, and
the amount of new aud valuable in
formation is not so great as could be
desired. 1t contains, however, good
many anecdotes, collected from the
newspapers and elsewhere, which are
quite entertaining, and which, for the
time, may serve as substitute for a
finished literary portraiture of society
in its varied aspects, spirit, and ten
denotes. From advance sheets we
give our readers a brief fOretaste of
the book.
