WASHINGTON, June 2


Cubans here this morning received
advices up to the 2Sth inst, which
confirm previous reports of the pre-
valence of cholera and fever among the
Spanish troops. The mortality is said
to be very great in several portions of
the Island. Their line of communica-
ton is cut off, and they are suffering
for want of food and medicine. The
Spanish army has lost since the COM
mencement of the revolution more than
half their forces in battle and by dis
ease and desertion The Spaniards
have been concentrating in the Cinco
Villas District, and collisions are of
almost daily occurrence. The reen-
forcements which were sent from
Camaguey attacked the Cubans and
were defeated. They were compelled
to retreat with loss of over 300 killed
and wounded The loss of the Cubans
was less than 100. The Cuban force
from Jaugey Grande attacked the
Spaniards near Palmedas, defeated
large force of regulars and volunteers,
and captured that town with the pre-
visions and arms which were stored
there.

Girls Should Learn to Keep House.

No young lady can be too we'll instructed
in anything which will affect the comfort Of
a family. Whatever position in society she
occupies, she needs a practical knowledge Of
househo duties. She may be placed in such
circumstances that it will not DO necessary for
her 10 perform much domestic labor; but on
this account sho needs no less knowledge than
if she was obliged to preside personally over
the cooking stove aud pantry. Indeed, I
have thought it was moro difficult to dircct
others, and requires moro experience, than to
do the same work with our own hands.
Mothers are frequently SO nice and partic-
ular that they do not like to give up any part
of the care to their children. This is a great
mistake in their management; for they arc
often hardened with labor and need relief
Children should be early taught to make
themselves useful; to assist their parents ev-
cry way in their power, and to consider it n
privilege to do 80.
Young people cannot realize the Importance
of q thorough knowledge Of houscwifory T; but
IftusC Nllo lNfC SuilCICO VIZ luCOufCllcuCC
and modification Of Ignorance can we'll appro-
ciato it. Children should be carly INDUCED
in their disposition to bake and experiment
in various ways. It's often but q troublesome
help that they afford still it is great ad-
vantage to them. I know a little girl who at
nino years old made q loaf of bread every
week during tho winter. Her mother taught
her how much yeast, salt and flour to use, and
she became quite an expert baker. When
over she is disposed to try her skill in making
simple cakes or pies she is permitted to do so.
She is thus, while amusing herself, learning
an important lesson, IIor mother calls her,
her little houso.kocpor and often permits hor
to get what is necessary for tho table. She
hangs tho keys by her sido, and very musical
is tho j,ngling to her ears. 1 think before
sho is out of her teens, upon which sho has
not yot entered, that sho will hayo somo idea
how to cook.

Tho Cow Pen as a Fertllizor for Wheat.

We have long been satisfied, from actual
experiment, that the common COW pea Of
the Southern States, when properly managed,
afford the best and, at tho same time, the
cheapest medium for the restoration of our
exhausted cotton fields. Its effects have
been as lasting aud as marked upon the fer
tility Of our soils as that of clover upon the
worn and exhausted lands of Virginia and
Maryland.
The main reason why the COW pea has not
beer heretofore extensively used as u fertilizer
was owing to.thc fact that previous to cman.
cipation our planters would not give up a suf-
ficicnt portion of their lands to await the
rather slow effects Of this most valuable fer
tllizcr, Now, however, when every planter
has a large proportion of his poor lands lying
idle, there is no excuse why the pea should
not be SCI in every field not absolutely nee
essary for corn or cotton.
Now is the best time to plant the pea, and
we desire to give our agricultural friends the
rcsulo of a careful experiment made by a
planter in Gwinnctt county to encourage
them to make similar efforts.
Our GWinnctt planter had q piece of old
exhausted land, twenty acres of which had
been lying in Broom sage for a number of
years. This he broke deep with a turn pillow
in the Summer, and in the succeeding Fall
put down in wheat. The crop, carefully
measured, was a little less than four bushels
to the acre.
AS soon as the wheat was cut he sowcd
peas at the rate of two bushels to the acre.
Early in October the peas were turned UNI
der with a deep furrow, and a few weeks later
wheat was sown and carefully narrowed in
upon the pea sod. The yield from the crop
was nine bushels to tho acre, q little more
than double the first years crop.
Tie field was again 0 in peas as soon
as the wheat was harvested and turned under
as before in the Fall, and wheat sown upon
the soil. 1hc yield this year was scyentcen
and aAay Jnshcls.
The fourth year, with the same treatment,
he made twenty seven bushels, and this (the
fifth Year, the crop bids fair to make forty
bushels. Nothing has been applied to the
land as a fertilizer except the pea, and We
find that in five years, with the COW pea
alone, the production has been increased ten
foM. This actual experiment speaks moro for
the pea than any argument which we could
make.
We trust some Of our planting friends will
be induced to try the pea on the next crop
of wheat and let us know the result of their
experiment.

" We hro drifting to consolidation and empire,

WALHALLA, S, c. FRIDAY, JUNE rs, 1869

' Al yAiuS u oto
Thousand dollars, to DO set off," &c.; and in
tho same section, in giving directions to the
appraisers, they shall ''sct off by mctcs and
bounds a homestead of the estate of the debt
or, &C., not to exceed tho value of ono thou
sand dollars" SO.
1t is insisted in this case, that, in making
the appraiscmcnt, no estimate should be made
OF the value of the dwelling house and out.
buildings, and that the homestead means the
lands appurtcnant to the buildings alone. If
this Interpretation should be adopted, land
without a dwelling could be assigned. And
yet, it is not susceptible of Il doubt that the
Constitution and law was intended to secure
to tho family a homo and shelter against all
contingencies.
1t is said again, that if the dwelling and
out buildings arc not excluded from the csti.
mate that an unfortunate debtor whose dwell
ling and outbuildings excccd one thousand
dollars in value, would be excluded from
all benefits from the Act. 1t is con.
cedcd that tho legislation on this point
IS defective, and that some provision should
be made where tho debtors dwelling is worth
more than ono thousand dollars, to retain for
HIM in trust that sum when sold, to purchase
{ ""cstcad; but this argument cannot be al.
low, to overthrow and defeat the plain pro
visions Of the Constitution and Act already
quoted.
1t may be that appraisers would be author
lied on examining a dwelling or out.buildinss,
and concluding the same was worth more than
one thousand dollars, that they would be
authorized to appraisc only aud assign only a
part Of the dwelling and out-buildings, or even
certain rooms,a as a homestead.
In this case, one Of the appraisers, in his
affidavit, states that, in making his estimate
of the homestead Of the debtor, he did not
include tho dwelling and o%ut-bnilings, and
that the thousand dollars, worth of real estate
assigned to the debtor ''consistcd of lands ap-
purtcnant to the homestead"
This statement of the appraisers, as to the
basis of the estimate in making the appraisc-
mont, and the atfidavits submitted as to the
value of the real estate assigned, being in OK
cess of the amount allowed by law, requires
me to order, and it is hereby ordered, that
a re,appraiscmcnt and consignment Of tho
homestead of the dcb'or, T. Edwin Ware, be
made by %. S. Irvine, S. Swaudalo and Ham
lin Bcattio, Esqs., and that they mako return
of their actings and doings in the premises,
within forty days, to the Sheriff of Green.
