where were large troughs for mixing. A
constant supply of water, conveyed from
the house, was In the barn for this purpose,
and also in the barnyard for the stock. All
the entries and stalls were unusually wide,
roomy and well ventilated.
The barayard fronts the south, 5eing well
furnished with ample shedding for sheltering
the stock. This shelter has been found to
| diminish the consumption OF hay and fodder
| fully one-four.h, and also increases to that
amount, and much more, the value OF the
manure. The yard was well Uttered and
cattle dry and comfortable.
One additional convenience, not common
/ to barns, was complete platform scales for
weighing produce, and also cattle and hogs
when fattening. Our friend Edge does moi
practice any guessing at results, and with
out such test he would be unable to carry
out his system of management and expert
ments. The fattening cattle are driven OF
to the scales every two weeks, when It i
accurately ascertained whether their gain. II
a profit or loss II the latter, they are dis
pissed of, or the feed changed. A small
pair of steers now feeding, had been fount
to have gained thirty-three pounds in tn
last two weeks.
The wagon and carriage house, tool house
granary, pig-pen, and room for the Prindi
steamer, all under one roof, were in sepa
rate building, erected away from the barn
for greater safety in the event OF fire. Thi
was also replete with every convenience.

Wade Hampton, Vice-President Of the
Southern Historical Society, has ap-
pealed to the editor Of the Columbia Is.
C.) Phenir to publish the proceedings
Of the meeting Of that society, recently
held in New Orleans, saying:
ave owe it as a sacred duty to our an.
cestry, the fathers of that Republic
which exists SOW only in name; to our
children. whose duty it will be to re-es-
tablish civil liberty on this continent, if
they hope to escape our fate and, above
all, to the memory Of our heroic dead,
that we should place upon record, where
the future historian Of our late war may
find it, the true facts relating to our late
unfortunate bnt glorious struggle. BY
this means alone can we vindicate
cur principles, justify our cause,
and preserve intact that which alone
can give value to history-truth." He
expresses the hope that branch societies
will be organized in every district Of
South Carolina, aud adds " 10 the mean
time, / invoke in behalf Of the society
the aid and cooperation Of every man
who reveres the ancient honor and re-
nown of our State; who cherishes O
proper regard for the great principles
which have governed her in the past
who believes that these principles will yel
be triumphant; who wishes to vindicate
the cause for which we fought, and who
desires to preserve untarnished the mem
DRY of those patriots who died for tina
cause"

The OAKLAND Tragedy.

The Water Valley Eagle of Saturday,
in commenting upon the death of Cap
tain D. T. Barnes at the banda of Dr..
Lott last Monday, says:
This is one of the most horrible TRACE
dies it has ever been our fortune to
chronicle, and produced most intense
excitement at and around Oakland. The
only charitable explanation which can De
given of the conduct of this slayer oil his
most intimate friend is, that he was labor
ing under fit of temporary, but COM
pIete, utter insanity. He was known to
be remarkable temperate man, rarely
ever touching a drop of spirits; and that
a single drink of brsndy--perhaps an
accidentally large one-taken at the
grocery store Just before the dreadful
affair must have flown to his head, and
made him for the time being perfect
mailman.
OF Capt. Barnes, the unfortunate vic.
tim of this still more unfortunate and
unhappy slayer, we can hardly find lam
guage to properly eulogize his noble,
spotless character. We knew him well,
and a more worthy or promising young
man did not live in Mississippi. He was
gentle, gifted, heightened, and of morals
the most unblemished. His daily life
was beautiful, and the elements of good
ness, truth and strength 60 blended in
him that all who knew him are ready to
say of him, now that he is in his grave,
There fell q noble gentleman
IN L l..
connected citiEens, and occupied high
position in his profession, as we'll as in
the social circle. We have no doubt, If
reason has resumed its throne with him,
that he nov suffers more in mind for the
rash act OF maddened moment .iasn
perhaps any friend Of the deceased.

WHINING.

The Liberal organ in this city has sci
M whine like full-grown school boy
who had been severely boxed for not
knowing his lesson. 10 every issue the
editorial contains the repeated story OF
the abuse heaped upon that paper by its
opponents. We can safely say that the
amount of abuse bestowed was never too
much, and there is large quantity yet
left which will be given out from time to
time. But the evident intention OF our
neighbor is to get up sympathetic party,
which will cry and blubber with him
whenever the LEDGER shall chastise his
Inconsistencies. The Erening Post and
Barbour Lewis are said to be as much
hurt in their feelings as our contemporary,
and when, by chance, they all meet 1t Is
general cry-baby scene that ensues.
We, nevertheless, pity the indiscreslons
of badly balanced minds.
