quite large crowd Of colored persons Assem-
bled at the sixth precinct station house to hear
the examination in the cases of Tom Bowie and

assistance and some one called the police, when
a general scattefation took place.

to get counsel, which the Justice refused to do,
but delayed Ii until he could send for counsel.
Tom Bowie was about being sworn, whep OBJ

Sayings from Madame SWitctine.

We are always looking into tho
futuro, but sec only the past.
The courage with which we have
met past dangers is often our best
security in the present.
Real sorrow is almost az difficult to
discover as real poverty. An instinct
i've dcl!cacy hides the rays of the one
and the wounds Of the other.
He who las never denied himself
for ;hc sake Of giving has but glanced
ut the joys Of charity. We owe our
superiiuity, and to be happy in the
performance of oar duty we must cx-
coed it.
Let us never exceed our appointed
duties, and keep within our lawful
pleasures.
We expect everything and we are
prepared for nothing.
There are not good things enough
in life to indemnify us for the neglect
of single duty.
We are rich only through what VIC
give and poor only through what VIC
refuse.
There is a transcendcnt power in
example. We reform others uncon.
sciously when VIC walk uprightly.
The inventory of my faith for this
lower world is soon made out. I be,
licve in Him who made it.
Situations are like skcins of thread
TO make the most Of them we need
only to take them by the right end.
We deceive ourselves when we
fancy that only weakness needs sup
port. Strength needs it far more. A
straw Or feather sustains itself long
in the air.
Liberty has no actual rights which
are not based upon justice. Her prin,
cipal duty is to dcferd it.
The lowest ears of corn are the
fullest; so tho .wiscst are the most
modest.
1t is Of no consequence of what
parents any man is born, so that he be
! of merit.
You wish to learn to conquer
learn TO suffer.
The mistake in public business is
going into it..
1t is better to encourage what il
right than to punish what is wrong.
Frowns blight your children Of
frosty nights blight young plants.
Too much idleness. leaves q man lest
his own master than any sort of. en-
ployment.

Ewell. Nov as between the soldier and
the politician in this case, we would trust
the soldier, and admit him first to favor.
Take Longstreet: there is not a more tru-
Iy reconstructed man in the South than
this bold, vigilant and sagacious soldier.
His loyalty is .unchallenged, his p, li,ical
disabilities have been removed by special
grace of Congress; were he to enter Con
gress rs Senator fIom his nat We State, be
would receive perfect ovation. But it
seems to be regarded as something little
less than treason to express a regret that
the sword OF so accomplished soldier
cannot be at his country's command. Now
this seems TO us something very like ron.
sense. A disloyaI General to day would
not be half as much dreaded as disloya
Senator; yet you shall meet score of
men who will advocate the removal of all
political disabilities, to one who dares to
speak above his breath of appointing
Ewell or Lougstreet to commands in the
army. We are willing 10 admit that such
swoull be serious one, and should
not be taken without ample deliberation :;
we do not adv"caleit it in any sense rs a
thing TO he done at once or done anyhow
but we shall take the liberty 10 repeat
that it is pity the United States cannot
avail itself OF tie splendid military talent
of the South and we believe that no long
time will pass, before the sole test in the
army or in the State will be ability and
prescnt loyalty. Does any body suppose
that if the United States were to be in
volved in a general war, Massaelusett
aud New Yo'k regiments would not figh,
side by side with the troops of South
Carolina and Alabama, and under COM
manders taken indifferently from the Union
and the Rebel armies of five years ago
If it would be safe and proper tl.en, why
Is II wrong and dangerous nrw?

plant sixteen acres per day, and will use
two bushels to each plow-cover with a
harrow.
Third and last plowing-pair your
hands, one TO side the corn, and one to
side the peas; the hand that sides the corn
will need twenty-five inch sweep, right
hand wing well up, and it should run close
to the corn-not going more than hall
inch deep; the left wing should be nearly
flat. The hand that sides the peas, will
need heavy twenty-six inch sweep, with
the right wing set at medium height, and
should run it near the peas, and gill the pea
furrow up entirely; the left wing should
he up, to push the dirt near the corn.-
This is the last blowing, and if we'll done,
the ground will be as smooth and level as
a floor, with not spear Of grass to the 200
acres, nor a weed to be seen in the field.
In ole times, required every hand to
clean the crop as he went-what the plow
left, TO be removed with the foot and hand.
From thirteen 10 sixteen miles, according
to the condition OF the crop, was day
work. .
Such pine land as mine, (some Of it very
poor, should average 20 to 25 bushels per
acre; and wet or dry, il the work is right.
ly done, there is no such thing as failure,
as my many visitors, from all parts Of the
country, will testify.
Messrs. Editors, have been too lengthy
in describing the preparation of land aud
cultivation Of crop, to give my reasons for
a choice Of manures. I use, after long
experience, Peruvian Guano, Dissolved
Bones, Land Plaster and Salt, and have
them mixed at home.
wish the Southern Culivator was in
every mans hands. 1t would pay good
dividends. Very respectfully,

From the Christian Observer.
One Less to Meet Us.

Ono less to meet u.s. Oh! yes one moro
Do we miss besid. the hearth
One more we loved, one more that loved us,
Has passed away from earth;
Her brow grew cold one autumn eve,
When the sun crcpt gently down.
The spangled woof of the amber sky,
And the clouds were purple and brown.
Her life went down like the setting sun,
And the clouds Of starless night
Spread over the earth as misty haze
Crceps DER the moons soft light;
Tho weird winds rose and sndly fell
With weary cry of pain,
AS we looked our last on that marble brow,
Where we ne'er may look again.
Her home is'now where the weary rest,
And the rustling of the trees
Shall break not the stiffness DER her breast
Nor tn. breath of n summer breeze.
For the winters snow is not more cold
Than she who once would greet;
With smiling face and tender glance
The friends whom now we meet
One less to meet lis, All yes, one less,
/ Than we met one year ago,
One les we loved, one less who loved us,
We can hardly think it SO;
For we often dream we hear her voice,
Yet, 'tis but passing tone,
So mournfu!, and so gentle, we,
Had deemed it like her own.
Oh! she went as eve, ere the dews came dow
TO kiss the fudiig flowers.
Or tho stars looked out from their home wit
God,
On this weary world Of ours
And the day died out like fading hope
Which we have Durscd for years,
Dies out in the wall of q broken heart,
And is washed away with its tears
