innumerable, his gem of many virtues, his cas-
ket of Jewels Her voice is sweet music her
smiles his brightest day, her kiss tho guardian
of his innocence, her arms the pale of his safe

life; her industry his surest wealth, her econo-
my his safest steward, her lips his faithful
counselors, her bosom the softest pillow of his
care, and her prayers the ablest advocate OF
Heavens blessing on his head"

duce them to take an interest in the farm, in the
implements, in the stock; tell them all your
plans, your successes and failures give them
q history of your own life, and what you did
and how yourliyed when boy; but do not
harp too much on the degenerate character of
the young men of the present age; praise them
when you can, and encourage them to do still
better. Let them dress up for the evening, in
stead of sitting down in their dirty clothes in
dingy room Provide plenty of light {;
thanks to kerosine, our country homes can be
as brilliantly and as cheaply lighted as the
gas-light houses in the city Encourage the
neighbors to drop in evenings. Talk agricul-
ture rather than politics speak more of the
Importance of large crops, of good stock, OF
liberal feeding, and of the advantages of ma
king animals comfortable, rather than of the
hard times, low prices and high wages. Above
all, encourage the boys to read good agricultu-
raj books Papers are we'll enough, but an in
telligent boy wants something more and better.
Get him some good agricultural book to study.
Read it with him, and give him the benefit Of
your experience and criticism. When he has
mastered this, buy him another. In our own
case we owe our love of farming principally to
the fact that our father talked to us of every
thing that was doing on the farm answering
all our questions and encouraging, rather than
refusing our childlike desire Of helping him.

A COOP PpATFoRM.-Thc Charleston Repub-
Hcan advocates minority representation. The
Columbia Union favors all who vote being first
compelled to pay their poll-tax. The Wins
boro Macs favors the announcement by resolu-
ton in the Legislature of equal but separate
educational provision for the two races. We
believe that, if a. portion of the Republican
parry will plant themselves firmly upon the
above platform at once, and work steadily for
ward upon it, by 1872 they will be joined by Il
large proportion of the best men, viii and
black, in the State, and will succeed. No par
ty can grow without ideas, and of ideas just at
present the Radical party in South Carolina is
most singularly barren and deficient: We have,
though an editor, ceased to read with interest
the proceedings of the, Legislature Such an
utter dearth of anything like intellect, public
spirit, or original thought, was never before
displayed even in S ,uth Carolina. The radical
papers seem to contain all the brains of the
party, and seem desirous of doing good. But
they have tough material to deal with, and
promise, unless the party will take up few
practical and liberal ideas, so as to bring in
better material, to have still tougher customers
hereafter. Such incompetency and ignorance
will disgust, if continued every decent man in
the State and fill the next Legislature with a
set of asses to which the present set of incom-
petents will be perfection. Some opponents of
radicaism very quietly prefer this exact course
of affairs. Will the few true men permit 2

MORE ABOUT BAYoNET. ELECTIoNs-Gov.
Salisbury, of Delaware, is the third Governor
in the connecting line of States to denounce
the interference of United States authorities in
the recent State elections. This extract is
from his last annual message:
"There were on the day of the last general
election in this State persons at or near the
polls in. .Appoquinilnink. Hundred and several
other voting places in this State, claiming to
act as marshals under authority from the Fed
eral Government, and assuming the right to in
terfere with the lawfully chosen election OIL

ties as the Legislature may deem expedient
and proper, and the application of its provls'
ions to all who may secure, solicit, or encour-
age the perpetration of such offence"
Mr.. Charles Francis Adams, late Minister to
England, has recently uttered truthful and pa
triOtic sentiments, in response to an nvltauon
to attend the annual banquet of Young Mems
Jackson Association at Pittsburg, when ne
proclaimed as follows:
"I am not much in the way of expressing
sentiments on the present political topics The
country has passed through a violent convul-
sion, and is now slowly but steadily recovering
itself The main object should be the return
of harmony i'll spirit of mutual confidence
among the jarrng members. Our Government
draws life from the ready consent of the gov
erned. When the distinguished hero. whose
name your association bears, uttered these
memorable words, THE Union must and shall
be preserved" he undoubtedly rested his faith
on the spontaneous cooperation of the great
masses of the nation responding to his call in
the regular and legitimate channel prescribed
by the organic law. He never contemplated
the use of bayonets in controlling the forms OF
collecting the general suffrage. Our safety, as
nation lies in going back 10 first principles
forgetting that force has ever been resorted To
as painful necessity to preserve them. What
was bitter medicine should not be turned into
daily food"

Mansfield, June 18th, 1852.

THE LAND COMMIssIoE.-Col. S. S. Crtten-
len, a member of the Legislature from Green
vile, in an interesting letter to the Greenville
Mountainecr, makes the following report of
spicy debate in the Senate on the well-worn
subject of the Land Commission:
Leslie, together with Whittemore and one or
two colored Senators, advocated laying the res
olution upon the table, promising, as usual, if
some other course was pursued the whole mat
ter would be brought to light. Leslie talked
exceedingly plain and boldly saying such res
olutions never had, nor never would bring any
thing to light; but that if the Governor,
Comptroller General, and the other high State
officials composing the Advisory Board, were
brought together with himself, before special
committee empowered to administer oaths, and
they upon their oaths examined, the truth
would be arrived at. He disclaimed all pro-
fessions of honesty himself, and remarked that
the people of South Carolina, he must say, with
singular unanin,ity agreed with him upon that
point The reflections, however, from the Sen
ator from Charleston, upon his character, he
could not brook, as that gentleman, he said,
lived in a glass house, and should not throw
stones at him. He alluded to Senator Corbin's
action in the passage of the phosphate bill,
which, he asserted, was passed by the payment
of forty thousand collars, In the way Vi Dripcsi
and that the Senator from Charleston was the
main instrument in the use of those means.-
His clothes he said were recking with the smell
of the phosphate bill, and it lily became him
to charge dishonesty upon other Senator's
Senator Corbin said at would damn any po-
litical party to keep the transactions of the
Land Commissioner further concealed from the
public. and he would not hesitate to say it
should damn any party" Leslie had influence
enough in the Senate to have the resolution
tabled by vote of IA to II. The next day
Leslie proposed to give what purported to be
private chapter in the life of the Senator from
charleston, when Corbin informed him ne
might critcisc his public acts but he should
hod him responsible outside of the House tor
any reflections upon his private life; which
ended that matter.

Hon. Thomas w. Thomas, of Gcorg

= Hon. Thomas w. Thomas, of Georgia,
Judge of the Superior Court, lnow dead,J vas
an eccentric genius, who told many stories of
himself, and had more told of him. His favor
ite method of getting rid of worthless charac-
tiers from the town where he lived was to get
them into mock duels, and, if they stood fire,
to let the opponent fall as if dead, and Hiarm
the shootist by the terrors of law. One sum-
mer fellow was served in this way, and the
last seen of him WAS at Crafts Ferry, on the
Savannah River, saying, "For the Lords sake,
let me over-Fve just killed man in duel,
and all of his kin are after meP And once
over, he was seen no more. A few weeks later
it was desirable to get rid of drunken tailor,
and the field of honor was again tried. This
time the fellow coolly tried his pistol barrel
with twig, and said, "Thar amt no ball in
here, and / come to kill meat, l did. Put ono
in" And it cost Thomas five dollars in corn
whiskey to get the duel out of the tailors head
