The RECENT CENSUS OF THE STATE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA AND OF THE CrTY.-We
publish in another column q matter of
much interest. It is tabular statement
of the census returns for the year 1869.
We have compared it, says the Charles
ton Courier, with the previous census,
and it will be seen that while some of
the Counties lose, others will gain in
representation, in the next election. We
append at the end, statement showing
the population of the city of Charleston.
The statement shows that even with the
vote Of the last election, the state of the
population will add ut least six or seven
Democrats and conservatives to the next
Legislature.

Grady's old timo circus company will
perform in this city on Thursday and
Friday next. The Savannah Republican,
speaking of their performaaces, says:
"This time-honored institution made
its second appearance last evening, under
the management of Mr.. Grady, who is
deserving of lavish praise. not only for
the first class troupe, which he has
brought to our city, but also for the skill
with which they performed their re-
spective parts. The riding was as fault
less as it was unapproachable in daring
The gymnastic exercises were of an
order calculated to thrill the beholder-
agility in display, combined with au-
dacity of execution, forming changing
scenes Of intense interest. The juggler
was certainly an adept in his parts. Mr..
Grady's circus is q reality as to it's merit.
The tinsel is there, as also it's we'll
trained performers.

several particularly noteworthy papers.
"The Preparation of Land for Cotton, 5"
signed Glow Middhng," which we be-
lieve is from the pen of General johnson
Hagood, of Barnwell, contains some
timely suggestions, backed up by the ne
cessary facts and figures. "The Pre-
MUM Cotton Crop" and ga Method of
Planting and Cultivating Cotton" are
also worthy of attention in the same
connection, and are to the point. Some
hints on the Cultivation of the Castor
Bean and Bene" for oil, from the pen of
General E. P. Alexander, suggest an
other means Of diversifying our industry
"Poultry Farming for the South" a
beautifully illustrated article on the best
breeds of fowls, will be interesting and
profitable to all who are fond of eggs and
chickens. The editors "Suggestive
Facts" should set our people to thinking
We hope they will heed the warning the
article embodies--don't neglect every
thing else to plant cotton. The publish
ers have secured contributions from
