Madrid, Feb. 2S.-Sanor CASTELAR, has
addressed a memorandum to foreign pow
ers, urging the immediate recognition Of the
republic. He argues that the European
powers, having recognized the revolution of
1868, cannot refuse similar action with re-
gard to the republic, which is the
logical consequences Of the events
of 1868. Now that Royalty has
abdicated, Spanish Republic win not be

formation the country has gone through
is purely internal. Foreign nations should
not demand Of the Government energetic
action while they withhold from il their
moral support.

The Marquis deCastellane urged the As

monarchy before it was too late. The pre-
sent situation should not endure in France
as foreign powers feared that she would be-
come the hot bed Of demagoguism.
NJ. Hautigers, BonapartisE, opposed the
bill and demanded that the nation should be

He had been member of the House for

Tie Orangeburg Agricultural and
Mechanical Association

Holds its first Fair on next Tuesday
fortnight, the 2Sth inst, and we feel such
deepinterest in its success, that we pro-
pose to devote portion Of our Agricuf-
tural columns, each week, to encourage
those who have determined to lend their
efforts towards making its success COM
plctc, and to stir UP every farmer to his
full duty in this matter, which is of tho
utmost Importance to the Agricultural
interests of the County. This -Associa-
ton differs from most other Stock Com
panies in that each stockholdcr can aid
the Directors in their efforts. The first
duty of all subscribing to the capital
stock is to promptly pay up the install
ments, which are now due, and place the
Board in possession Of funds to carry on
the work. These gaentlemen have worked
assiduously, and at great personal sacri-
fee, to push forward the Fair Building
and prepare the grounds; but they are
powerless, unless supplied with the ncccs-
sary means.
The difficulty ofrcalizing anything, for
the cotton crop just being harvested, has
doubtless been the cause Of subscribers
failing to be prompt in payment, but this
trouble cannot last long, and it is TO the
interest of every stockholdcr to pay up
ut the first practicable moment. Again,
much can be done by each shareholder
stirring up his ncighbor in the cause, and
urging not only attendance at the Fair,
but encouraging him to be IN exhibitor,
which will wonderfully increase his intc-
rest, in the exhibition.
Our fairs of the two past years were
successes, but let us determine that the
one of 1873 shall excel them in every
particular, and awaken such spirit of
emulation among our farmers, that the
difficulty will be, not to lack exhibitors,
but rather ROOM to stow away the ar-
ticles brought
We offer our columns to all interested
who may have suggestions to make i'll
the way of improvement in managing
the exhibition Gas We have had expert
cnce enough, surely, to be able to suggest
some Whicl, may aid the Directors il
their duties.

much. Sow when the ground is dly 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 tlfe seed in
baskets and dip them down in the solution,
take out and let the pickle drain of, and when
the grains arc nearly dry, roll them in plaster

that the sower may soc with what regularity

THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH. 7

OF course the principal effort of the farmer,
this month, will be directed to saving the
crops already nade-cotton, corn, &c. Bit
there are other things which ought to be at
tended to, as opportunity offers. Oats may
sons favorable, those sown before the 18th will
do well-.but in later than the middle. the
cropis by no means certain. 1t may laid down
MS a general rule that with winter. crops the
richer the land, the latcrmay sowings be made
Clover and grass may also be GOWN the first
half of the mouth, with like chances of success,
but We would not advise it donc-it would be
better if the sowing were delayed till October;
to wait TIL Spring. Every failure with above
crops, is misfortune at the South, because
their cultivation is not yet sufficiently establish
ed, for the farmer to fail without discourage
ment-and it is exceedingly important that no
injudicious advice be given.-It has been
great misfortune to the country, that many of
its agricultural writer's have little actual ex-
perience on the farm, and nj other cases have
an experience which can neither benefit them
selves, nor the readers Of their writings Ifa
successful farmer makes failure, it is always
instructive if n visionary makes one, it May
not throw single ray oflight OH the path of
progress. The efforts of the latter are neither
properly directed nor kept within legitimate
bonds, and every one expects failure as a natu-
raj result. Whilst with the former, perhaps
only one important condition of success was
omitted ifso, that one stand forth promi-
ncntly. TO be studied and weighed and its
share in the failure carefully acertaned
