lie urged the raising of the grasses and
small grain, and particularly the raising
of sheep; stating that the only places
where lleheard about shecp-killing dogs,
were those where no sheep were raised;
that they were seldom heard of, where
large focks were kept.

over an hour, was listened to with deep
interest; and. doubtless, with profit.
He concluded by urging the claims OF

of Husbandry here, to be known as the
"Oranue Grange" which was ioined by
some forty or fifty of tile ladies and gen

These Oranges extend over the United
States, and great things are expected
from them by the members, who will thus

hood) throughout the country.

We notice in the Charleston News of
the 23d inst, that a. NJ. Fielder, of Or
angeburg, is accredited as delegate from
the State at large, to the Agricultural
Congress now i'll session at st. Louis.
This is evidently mistake. Our fel-
low citizen, Colonel Paul S. Eeldcr, an
cnterprising and successful planter, has
gone Oh as delegate to this Congress, from
our County Agricultural Society. This
cntcrprising organization, we believe, is
the only one in this State, that has shown
such worthy zeal in the cause for
which it exists as to send out and pay the
expenses of q delegate to St. Louis: and
We would be glad (thinking it but fuir)
that we should get credit for the under
taking. Col. Fielder is gentleman who
will make himself pleasantly received out
there, and bring back plenty of informa-
ton: so let it be known that he goes as
delegate from the Orangcburg County
Agricultural Society.

AN EXPERIMENT IN Corn PLANTING.

AN EXPERIMENT IN Corn PLANTING.
In the year 1854 / selected the top
ears of corn from stalks that produced
two good ears, and continued to do so for
four or five years. BY that time had a
variety of corn that in almost every case
produced two ears. l also improved it
by selecting from stalks that ripcned
first, and by continuing this process for
four years | had at the commencement of
the war, variety of corn that produced
two ears, and ripcned at least ten days
earlier than when commenced with it.
Like will boget like, and it is very i'm
portant that farmers select their seeds
from the best of their crops. find that
all our successful wheat farmers are those
who SOW none but the best and purest

The Radically-debased readers of our
cotemporary were doubtless delectated
much by scurrilous letter. over the sig
nature ofthe Auditor for our County.
The drawer and signcr of this Radical
Declaration of Independence forget that
we live in II "so-called free" country; that
five are robbed, we have a right to say SO.
AT any rate, it may as well be understood
that WE intend to go for Radicalisln when
ever We can; over or through its ih5iyid-
uol professors, here or elsewhere. And
if, in passing the individuals, we raise the
hair; Sc let it be. They may squirm, but
it is impossible that we lie insuIted at any
language they may make use Of Nor
needs our responsibility THEIR endorse

One would suppose, from the lampoon,
that the TIMES had accused Van Tassel of
appropriating public monies to his person
al use; which we did not. While calling
him radically excepted him from the
"thief" catalogue, and charged the money
as robbed for State purposes. We still
think it robbery-and church robbery.

Hitherto, the robbery and confiscation
ofour property by the vandals in power,
has been done under the semblance and
claim of right, rs not being in direct vio-
lation ofany specific provision Oft the Con-
stitution. Next Monday, however, (being

County Treasurer, Frank H. Greene, un-
der authority of an Act passed by the last
Assembly, commences raid upon the inn
poverished people ofour County;to the like
of which no country has ever been sub
jectcd. The peace raid of June 1st, 1872,
should ever be borne in mind as the bold
est robbery that civilization has ever wit
messed. Shcrman's bummers were lambs,

Treasurer for taxes due the State, are
sold "beyond the power of redcmption;"
the State giving, or where she can bribe
no accessories to her crime, confscating
to herself the property of the free citizen,
in fee simple.
How men, claiming to be honest, can
individually, either officially or otherwise,
assist in such robbery, and still claim OK
cmption from blame is to us inexplicable.
He who is not for lis is against us. 1t
matters not whether he holds the pistol
to our head or himself rifles our pockets.
The band are robbers from first to last in
our eyes; and we sec no distinction, save
that some do not let the captain robbers
have all the small change that they get
hold of in this political melee

On Wednesday last, the 22d inst, by
previous appointment, our citizens were
addressed Oh the broad subject ofagricul-
turc, by that distinguished and indcfatiga-
bic son of Carolina, Col. d. Wyatt Aiken.
BY the kind attention OF the officers of
the Methodist church, the use of their
building was rendered; and large and
highly respectable audience, consisting
chiefly Of our most substantial and enter
prizing farmers, with their families, greet
cd the speaker; who had promised to tell
them something new, and for their good"
and we'll did he fulfill his promise.
Col. Aiken possesses, in high degree,
the rare faculty of being able to give
practicable advice to his brother farmers,
and urge them on to renewed efforts; and
at his or home, to carry out these pre-
cepts ..msclf.
We say this faculty is rare, because we
seldom enjoy the privilege of hearing nm
address upon this vitality important sub
ject, though living in country almost
exclusively agricultural. And, besides,
we have heard our rgrand-fathcrs say, that,
in times gone by, those gifted sons of our
State, who were wont to make agricultu-
raj addresses, (and by their honeycd words
and delusive pictures ofcountry life, cause
even lawyers to be discontentcd with their
useless lives, and long for the milk end
honey of the fnrm!) all of them bought
corn at home!
diversified Agriculture" was the
speakers theme; and by facts and figures
we'll known to be correct by the intclli-
gent farmers around him, he proved the
truth of his reasoning, and urged upon
them the necessity of "a new departure"
from the tyrannical rule Of King Cotton.
His picture of the slavery of the far
mer, who dcvotcs his entire energies to
the growth of cotton, was gloomy, but
forcible and eloquent. "such farmers"
said he, "arc the vcricst slaves or the face
of the earth; serving u master who gives
no rest and no food! Grudging the very

The cconomieo-politics of our present

amounts to about this, We are glad to re-
ccive you rs citizens, but We are unwilling
to make any sacrifices for you.
The second reason is, that you should
"not force on people what they do not
want"
AS we understand it, the city fathers
are not forcing upon "thc people" thing
which they do not want Who are ''thc
people" that this project is being forced
upon? The six who signed dhc mcmori-
al of March 30th, 1872, to the Mayor
and Aldermen? Must the wishes. the
interests of 1000 citizens yield to the six?
The six ''many taxpayer" and all the
other opposers Of the new street, arc not
"the people," They are doubtless of the
people, but they arc i'll the minority
and woful minority at that. Go on
then, yc city fathers, unless "many tax
payers" can urge some better reasons why
you should not. We arc satisfied that
you have no selfish end in view, but that
you believe it beneficial to the prosperity
OF our whole town, "thc people," the six,
"niany taxpayers" and ALL-opposcrs
and advocates.

now gets from Saudusky alone from
ten to twelve hundred cars OF lumber
every year, and uses a large amount OF
Lake Superior ores, which she now has
to obtain from other ports. Were this
road built, large amount of money
would be saved to our manufacturers
and people in cheaper freights. We
could then send our cars, which now 60
empty to Sandusky for lumber and
other materials, loaded with coal.
The only opposition in Wheeling to the
road came from few men who bad
been interested in the Tuscarawas Val
ley road or some other line, but the
people were anxious for the road and
would vote for the tax.
Mr.. Cochran, prominent lawyer OF
Wheeling, was next called upon and
said he had been over thr road, as had
been Mr.. Baker, on tour Of inspection,
The people OF Wheeling, he said, were
greatly indebted to Mr.. Baker for his
efforts as State Senator during the past
winter in securing the passage OF the
bill allowing a vote to be taken tor the

necessity of this road. He believed
that the road would pay from the start
No competing line, indeed no road IN
the State, passes through as productive

and Pittsburgh was paying, why should
not this? Wheeling consumes $4,000
tons of ore annually which now has to
reach her by circuitous routes. Her
lumber has to be transported from San
dusky over line at least sixty
five miles longer. She makes
more nails than any other city
10 the United States, as much if not
more glass. She wants more outlets
for her manufactures. The coal along
the Wheeling and Lake Erie road is of
itself sufficient to make it paying

loaded on to the cars by the simple
means of gravitation, and extends a
distance of eighty.fve miles along
the line. The road crosses also the
great sandstone belt OF the State at its

equal, if not superior, to those of Berea
and Amhurst. By this route the great
