the ferry dock into the river. Two
humane individuals fished him out,
and when they left him he found
that he had been relieved Of sixteen
dollars-all the money he had in the

flection that if it hadn't been for
them he would have drowned and
lost his money anyhow, and they
might as we'll have it as tho fel-

From the Southern Cultivater.

IhOught fOr the NAOhtns
Of course the principal effort of the
farmer, this month, will be directed to
saving the crops already made-cot-
ton, corn, &c. But there are other
things which ought to be attended to,
as opportunity offers. Oats may stiH
be sown. If the land is rich and the
seasons favorable, those sown before
the 18th will do well-put in later than
the middle, the crop is by no means
certain. It may be laid down as
general rule that with aoi,ater crops the
richer the land, the later may sowlngs
be made. Glover and grass may also
be sown the first half of the month,
with like chaLces of success but we
would not advise it done-it would be
better if the sowings are delayed till
October, to wait till Spring. Every
failure with above crops IS mlsfor-
tune at the South, because their Guilt
walton is not yet sufficiently establish
ed, for the farmer to fail without dis
couragement-and it is exceedingly
important that no injudicious advice
be given. It has been q great
misfortune to the country, that many
of its agricultural writer's, have little
actual experience on the farm, and IN
other cases have an experience which
can neither benefit themselves, nor the
readers of their writings. If sue
ccssfM farmer makes a failure, it is
instructive; if Customary makes one,
it may not throw single ray OF light
on the path of progress The efforts
of the latter are neither properly
directed nor kept within legitimate
bounds, and every one expects failure
as a natural result. Whist with the
former, perhaps only one important
condition of success was omitted; If SO,
that one stands forth prominently, to
be studied and weighed. and its share
in the failure carefully ascertained.

Preparations for this crop should
now be made, even where it is regard
ed iniutiicious to seed down in October.
Wheat, of all cultivated crops, IS the
least able TO take care OF itself. AS
lands become exhausted by cultivation,
they refuse to yield crops OF wheat
sooner than any other. 1t IS useless
to SOW it on poor land or that poorly
prepared. Better expend Your money
and labor on something else. But
every farmer ought to raise wheat
enough for his own family and de-
pcndents-if he has little surplus for
the poor windows and orphans OF
dead but immortal Confederates, no
harm will be done.--Four or five acres
on each farm can furnish enough Tor
these purposes. as was shown by ex-
pcriments in this vicinity few years
ago; where, upon naturally poor
granite soils, the yield was from 40 to
4G bushels. Deep and repeated
ploughings, with high manuring
was the only secret in the matter.
White wheats, whilst yielding the
finest flour and bringing the highest
price in the market, are not so hardy
as the red or amber varieties. The
amber wheats are perhaps best for
general culture for family purposes.
And for southern ATTITUDES the earlier
maturing, the better-late varieties are
more liable to rust. Those which
riDen the latter part of May are the
safest-both because more likely to
escape rust and because they encOun-
ter less risk of being cutot by drought.
From the middle of October to mid
die of November includes the best
time for sowing-middle of October in
the colder, middle of November in the
| warmer portions of the South. Sown
| too early, there is danger of the Hes
| sian fy-sown too late, the cold keeps
back the plants too much. Sow when
the ground is dry and don't forget to
soak the seed in blue stone. One
pound will be enough for five bushels
of seed Dissolve it in water-put the
seed i'll baskets and dip them down ill
the solution, take out and let the pickle
! drain off, and when the grains are
nearly dry, roll them in plaster or
| lime. It is best to have the seed
whitened, that the sower may see with
what regularity his work is being done
SWEET POTATOES.
Towards the last Of the month these
will have to be dug. A slight touch
ing of the vines by frost will do no
harm, but it is best to dig before a
freeze, as the upper ends of the tubers
are very apt to be frost bitten thereby.
We have found it best to dig i'll dry
weather, and to put away the potatoes
dy. With above precautions OBJ
| served, there is no difficulty in keep
ing them through the winter if pat up
il banks or hills. Good farmers diff
fer in the details of these banks-the
essential points are to make the dirt
covering thick mot less than one FOOT
and to keep it dry. 1t is we'll to leave
an air hole at first, for the moisture
developed in ''sweating," to escape.
We should be under obligations to
any reader who would give us de-
scription of all of the varieties of the
sweet potato and the good and bad
points i'll each.

The Evangelical Conference.

TO-DAYS MEETING.
NEW YORK, October The cold, damn
weather has had no APPARENT effect in cooling
the ardor of the thousands taking part in and
attending as spectators the great council of
evangelical churches. A vast amount of bust
ness will be dispatched during the course of the
day, arrangements having been made for dis
cussiols and addresses at four different sections
of the conference.-the in the morning and two
in the evening. There will also be q chill
drens' meeting in DIR. Hepworths church this
evening.
Association hall was fully as crowded
this morning as at the opening session. After
an oductory hymn Rev. Mr.. Harrison, OF
London, gave blessing.
Rev. Dr. McCosh invited the delegates from
foreign countries to visit the theological college
and seminary of Princeton, while on the way 10
Philadelphia on Monday.
An invitation from the general manager OF
Niagara Falls on excursion cars at any time
passed for it.
Rev. DIR. Prime then read a communication
from Mayor Havemeyer, inclosing his message
TO the common council in reference TO the con
ference, and then a resolution rendering, unan-
mously, the Inequalities Of the city to the
foreign delegates.
A vote of thanks to the mayor and common
council was moved by one of the foreign dele
gates and seconded by another, who alluded 10
q passage in the mayors message. He said he
was sure none of them would 20 away with any
prejudice. They had seen wonders, and learned
lessons they would never forget.
NC IceOlullOns were duOptcO UNANIMOUSLY.
The general topic this morning was christian
lie. The first speaker was Rev. DIR. William
Arnot, Of Edinburg. His theme was the rela-
ton between christian doctrine and christian
life, his arguments being chiefly directed 90
show the fallacy of those who exalt charity al
the expense of dogma
Personal religion was the subject of a paper
read by Rev. Richard Fuller, DID,, of Bslti-
more. in the course of the paper he referred
to the superstitions, impostures, pageantry and
nunneries Of the church of Rome, that master
piece of human craft, as a substitute for per-
sonal piety, and exert an influence on the peo-
pie only because imagination is stronger than
reason. All the churches which pretend that It
is necessary to do something mechanical for
our salvation, practice the same imposture, in
yesting their prayers, lectures, hymns, &C.,
with superstitious virtue.
AT this point DIR. Fuller begged that the
audience would desist from spplauding him, as
II was very painful to have TO treat of these
things.
The session was concluded by an address on
personal religion by DIR. Mast, of Cincinnati.
The session was then adjourned TO $50 O'Clock
this evening. when an address ON family reli-
gion VIII be delivered by DR.. Harrison, Of Lon
don.

FAIRFAx Q. h, October 9Th.
At convention held AZ Fairfax Z. II. on the
81 instant, the following nominations were
made: For house Of delegates, Judge j. III.
Gray, OF Falls Church; for county treasurer,
Job HawNhurst, of Fairfax Z. H.; for county
surveyor, G. L. Howard, of Drsnesville; and for
overseer OF the poor, b. Garfield, OF FAIRFAX Q.
II. The convention refused TO make q nominal
ton for sheriff, owing TO the existence OF the
barbarous whipping laws, FIRST enforced since
the war by Judge Cockerille. the present nOmi-
nee of the democrats Of Fairfsx for the house
of delegates. An order 10 whip white or black
for petty offences would have 20 be enforced by
the sheriff or his deputy, which would compel
either shameful surrender OF principle or q
resignation ON the part OF n republican incum-
bent. The utmost harmony and good feeling
prevailed In the convention. Judge Gray, the
leading candidate, IL q prominent fruit grower
near Falls Church, and presided, to the salts
faction Of all, over the meetings OF the Potomac
Fruit-growers Association, IN 1871, until his
heavy losses by the Michigan fires compelled his
temporary absence. On his return, he an
nounced his determination TO make Virginia
not only his present but his future home, until
called from IL by the hand of death. His inter-
ests are now centered In the prosperity OF the
Old Dominion. and his farm, the old Munsou
estate, which he bought soon after the war, il
now in the finest condition, and his orchards
and vineyards the largest and most productive
in the county.
