WASHINGTON, December 0, 1s6a.-The
friends of Judge Bond, I learn, are much
disappointed in falling to get him the cir

fight has been more serious one than IL
generally SUPPOSED. It required all the
power of Crcswell to prevent the appoint

PoStmaStrr-Gcncral has been victorious, he
has evidently lost much of his weight with

which proved quite successful. 1t

entirely secret all communications

Beautiful Extract.

- The following waif afloat on the
"sea of reading" we clip from an cx-
change. We do not. know it's pa
ternity, but'it contains some whole
some truths beautifully set forth:
Men seldom think Of tho great
event Of death until the shadow falls
across their own path, hiding forever
from their eyes the trace Of the loved
ones whose living smiles were the sun
light Of their existence. Death is the
great antagonist OF life, and the cold
thought Of the tomb is the, skeleton Of
oil teasts. We do not want to 70
through tho dark valley, although it's
passages may lead to paradise; and,
with Charles Lamb, we do not want
to lie down in the muddy grave, ,-esen
with kings and princesscs for our bed
fellows.
But the fat of nature is incxorable.
There is no appeal Of relief from the
great law which dooms us to dust.
i We flourish and We fade as the leaves
OF the forests, and the flower that
blooms and withcrs in day has not
a Trailer hold upon life than the
mightcst monarch that ever shook tho
earth with his footsteps. Generations
Of men appear and vanish AZ the
grass, and the countless multitude
that throngs the world today, will, TO-
morrow, disappear as the footsteps on
the shore.
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the
instinct Of immortality, SO eloquentfy
uttered by the dcath-dcvotcd Greek
finds deep response in every thought
tul soul. When about to yield his
young existence us sacrifice to fate
his beloved Clemanthe asks if they
shall not meet again, to which he rc
plies: 81 have asked that dreadful
question Of the hills that look eterna
of the clear streams that flow for
ever-of the stars among whose tielc
of azure my raised spirit hath walked
| in glory. All were dumb. But Will,
l gaze upon thy living face, I feel tina
there is something in the love tha
mantles through it's beauty that car
not wholly perish. We shall mee
again, Clemanthe."

COOP BREEDINa-I believe this
matter of good manners and good
breeding to be chiefly in the hands
of mothers. It is as easy to
teach child to say "Thank you
for the bread" as "Give me some
bread" ms easy to accustom family
of children to bid their parents good
morning upon ordinary, rs guests
upon extraordinary, occasions. Let
there be no "company manners"
Convince children BY example, no less
than precept, that the best they have
to offer in matter and manner should
be laid before those they love most
earnestly. A boy taught at ten to
enter the parlor and bow to his moth
er's friend, will do it with ease and
selfpossession at twenty. For what,
after all, is ease of manner but polite
ness long practiced, and incorporated
as an unconscious constituent of the
Individual? 1t may be we'll for us to
remember the original Significance
OF gentleman, gentlewoman--terms
which 1 fear would never. have grown
ont Of the clustering carriage Of a
large class Of modern gallants. ,"Gen.
tie blood" and "noble lineage" were
fsynonyms in those, old days. "!Suaui-
tor in nsodo: .fo,siter in rel" was the
Latin proverb, and it has: often occur
red to the writer that we, Of the pres
ent generation, are more in danger Of
forgetting the mildnees Of manner
than the strength. indeed. e

What our State Produces.

No State in the Union, and perhaps
no country in the world, possesses
such variety of soil and climate
such capacity for general produc-
tion-as does Georgia. In addition
TO all the valuable products of agri-
culture grown in the Eastern, Middle
and Western States, there are pro-
duced in Georgia, cotton, figs, lemons,
oranges, castor beans, olives. All
these can be produced in abundance,
and the soil on the seucost and South
ern Georgia is well adapted for the
production Of rice. There is scarcely
q branch of agriculture that cannot
be profitably engaged in, in this State
scarcely any article Of commercial
valuc-tho results of agricultural
pursuits, which cannot be produced
in this State. We append list of
all the agricultural and pastoral pro-
duct, which experience has demon
strated can be profitably produced
i'll this State, under intelligent man.
agement:
Wheat, barley, oats, hay, corn, rye,
buckwhcat, peas. peanuts, beans, cas-
tor beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes,
hops, tobacco, turnips, parsnips pump
kins, squashes, (and every variety of
vegetables,) cotton, broom corn, but
ter, cheese, wool, honey, apples, peach
es, pears, plums, cherries, nectarians,
ounces, apricots, figs, lemons, oranges
olives, prunes, mulberries, walnuts,
goseberrics, raspberries, blackberrics,
Strawberries, grapes, wine brandy,
cattle, hogs, sheep, Cashmere and
Angora goats, goats, all manner of
fowls, flour, lumber and every variety
Of wood, leather, gold, iron, copper,
slate, lime, marble, whetstones, mill
stones, granite, manganese, coal, as
phaultum.
If there are not elements of wealth
and commercial prosperity more than
are furnished by any other State in
the Union, or country in the world,
we are sadly at fault in our calcula-
tions. All that is needed are special.
ties in the different productions, and
not so much cotton.
What folly to be moving from the
State, when such riches lie buried in
tho soil and need only patient or in
telligent labor. to develop such varied
resources. There is more true wealth
in specialit!es in husbandry than il
the production of one or two staple
crops.
? Let the farmer and planter cast his
eye over the production enumerated
and ask himselfif he should create {
market by the production Of one OF
two special articles if it would no
pay better to the acre than cottou'
There is q market for everything {

A SHORT LECTURE FOR YOUNG
MEN.-Keep good company or none.
Never be idle. If your hands cannot
Lc usefully employed attend to the
cultivation Of your mind. Always
speak the truth. Make few promises.
LIVE up to your engagements. Keep
your own secrets, if you have any.
When you speak to q person, look
him in the face. Good company and
good conversation are the very sim
ews Of virtue. Good character is
above all things else. Your charac-
ter cannot be essentially injured, ex-
cept by yourown acts. Ifone speaks
evil Of you, let your life be such that
none. will believe him. Drink no
kind of intoxicating liquors. Always
live, misfortune accepted, within your
income. Whom you retro to bed,
think Of what you have been doing
during tho day. Make no haste to be
rich, if you would pro per small and
steady gains give competency, with
tranquility Of mind. Never play at
any kind Of game Of chance. Avoid
temptation, through fear you may
! not withstand it. Never run into
debt unless vou see way to get out
again. Never borrow if you posi-
bly, can avoid it. Never speak evil
Of any one. Be just before you are
generous. Keep yourself innocent,
if you would be happy. Save when
You are young, to spend when you
are old.-Runfs M"gazine.

How TO APPLY CoTToN SEED MEAL.

How TO APPLY COTTON SEED MEAL.
In reply to w. B. S. Of Brandon,
Miss my mode of using 1T for corn
planted in hills is substantially as
follows: On uplands- d pint. tin cup
full Of the meal to each hill Of corn,
which should be dropped 4 ORG inch
es from the fertilizer, and if it be
covered with q harrow, it should ap-
proach the corn first, 80 as not to
drop the meal over the. corn. If the
Iund has been deeply plowed before
planting, and the after culture is sinai
low, with ordinary seasons the appli-
cation will give twenty or thirty
bushels Of corn per acre as per quail
ity of the lands and I will add, the
heavier the application and the deep
the plow letore the planting the
greater will be tho return, # the
corn is in the drills Al feet apart, and
tho corn. 4 feet; aud I stalk, then
there is hardly y possibility ofiailure.

The Seed and the Sewers.

Ever 80 little the seed may be,
Ever SO little the hand.
But when it is sown it must grow. you see,
And develop it's nature, weed. flower or tree
The sunshine. the air, aud the dew are free
At its command.
If the seed be good. VIC rejoice in hope
Of the harvest it will yield
We wait and watch for its springing up,
Admire it's growth and count OIL the crop
That will come from the little seeds We drop
In the great, wide field.
But if we heedlessly scatter wide
Seeds we may happen to find,
We care not for culture or what NAV botide,
' neither they've lived or whether they We dice
We never mind.
Yet every sower must one day reap
Fruit from the seed he has sown.
How car efully then, it becomes us to keep
A watchful eye on the seed, and seek
To SOW what is good, that we may not weep
To receive our own.

: ABBEVILLE, S. c.. FRIDAY. APRIL %, 1869.

The Siamese twins, Messrs. Chang
and Eng Bunker, who have long re-
sided in North Carolina, and lost their
property during tho war, have gone
to England to make little money by
exhibition. Tho question of a suryi-
cal separation Of the brothers has
been submitted to some eminent ply
sicians, and the results of recent cx-
aminations Of their condition have
been published. They arc fifty-cight
years of ago, short in stature, Eng
being five feet two and one-half inches
in height, and Chang All inch shorter.
The band that unites them sprang
originally from the lower portion Of
each brcast-bonc, and at first held them
face to face, but, by efforts in child
hood, they were enabled to stand near
ly shoulder to shoulder. Their inner
arms are usually crossed behind each
others backs, but they can bring them
forward over each others heads,
which is quite curious movement,
and are thus enabled to use all their
hands, as atmeals. The cartiluginous
band which joins them is s'about four
inches long and seven in circumference,
at the centre. The nerves of each ex-
tend little beyond the middle of the
| band, so that q touch about all inch
on either side Of the centre is felt by
both. There is, Of course, q slight
communication of tho blood vessels,
but no interchange of blood, and no
mutual dependence Of circulation or
respiration. They are, therefore, i'll
dependent in personality, and are
simply two persons tied together by u
living knot. But although their men
tai operations are entirely distinct,
their lifelong similarity Of experience
experience has brought them into an
extraordinary concord in thought and
action.
The relative positions of the twins
have produced an inequality in the
action and efficiency of their organs
those turned toward each other, and
therefore less used, being weakest
The adjacent eyes are in this way en-
feebled, and the adjacent legs measure
All inch less in circumference than the
external ones.
The Messrs. Bunker married sisters
and have nine children apiece, Mr.. E
Bunker having six sons and three
daughters, and MIR. G. Bunker sis
daughters and three SONS. The
cousins do not get along together a:
well as. the fathers, and there arc
times when each family wishes tc
have a father all to itself. Tho ques
ton Of their separation has been rails
ed on this grouud rather than bo.
cause the brothers desire it. The sur.
geons think there is probably no an
atomical impeachment to their separa
ton, but that the moral shock to two
not very robust men, advanced in life
which would follow the breaking o1
the chain of lifelong habits, would
prove serious if not fatal.
They are reported as having edu
Gated themselves fully in the language
and literature Of this country; to be
Intelligent and agreeable companions
apd to have won the respect and es
TEEN of their neighbors.
