tellyou that in their boyhood days it
wagchstomRry for the farmer to fill his
own ,as we'll as his ohtldfen's shoes with.
seed cotton, requiring that ench one
shonld finger pick. .the seed from tho
lint, until the shoes were .emptied, as
their winter EVENINGS task,
81 And without going further back we
learn that grain was harvested with
sickies or Heaping hooks, by which means
II would be hard to say how little ooull
he done per day. Compare those pri:
mitive methods with thote of the present
sine and note the wonderful change that
has been wrought Now, with span of
horses and reaper or mower broad
fields of grain are harvested per day.
In tho cultivation Of cotton, as before
intimated, there are many labor saving
machines in use-such as fertilizer dis
'tributerR; seed planters, sweeps, hsr-
rows, oultivators, &c, by which one
;laborer and horse can cultivate sixty
acres aa easily as he could fifteen few
years ago. Cotton seed planters es-
peciaily have been introduced with great
profit and saving OF labor. Under the
old labor system it was necessary to have
AooA hoooo uua sho uOAotS ouplUSCu TO
make any headway in planting, to say
nothing Of the time occupied in rolling
seed. Now, as We osn attest from per-
sopal experience, one laborer and Lorse
with seed planter without stoppage to
roll or rub seed, performs as much or
more labor in the same length of time
and in q more satisfactory manner. Most
OF the labor-saving machinery used il
cotton culture are automatic in their
character and are therefore best adapted
to Southern labor.
As to the adaptability o: labor-saving
| machinery to Southern labor We think
there can be no question. The brief
history OF the negro since his emanoipa-
ton shows that he is susceptible Of q
much higher degree of mental develop
ment than lie has had credit for in the
past.
With proper treatment and patient
instruction, .he may become skillful
operator Of all the labor. saving machine.
~ necessary to place Southern agricul-
ture, surrounded as it is by 80 many
natural facilities, in o state of prosperity
unsurpassed by any in the known world.

Miss McGowAN's MAY CELEBRAT1oy.-
Undaunted by the heavy rain storm, last
night, Miss MCGOWAN determined that
her celebration OF the advent of the
howery month should be fully carried
out. The young participants were out
in full force, and fair representation of
the older heads were in attendance. Had
the evening been favorable, Twins Hall
would have been thronged, as more than
200 tickets had been disposed of. The
young SPEAKERS gave evidence of the care
and attention bestowed by their teacher.
The opening address was prettily deli.
vered by Master Edwin Pollock. This
was followed by the coronation of the
Queon"-Miss Rosa Clayton, in which
Gabril Jones, Jude Pollock, julius vi

yersifed industry and afford opportunity
for the Development of her many but
now latent resources. In the Southern
States the introduction of lahor-saving
machinery has been slow, nor is it mat
ter OF surprise that such has been the
case, when We contemplate tho great
clouds OF depression and gloom which.
pervaded the minds of Southern agri-
culturiats as they gazed upon the shat

which oil their hopes for prosperity were
based, and the effect upon the iaborers,
the bulk OF which, os is wcll-known, was
composed OF negroes, was no less mark
ed, but was OF an entirely opposite ma
ture, producing the widest enthusiasm.
But time and force of circumstances
have, to large extent, closed the chasm
thus formed between the owners of the
soil and the laborers; and, as before
stated, it is gratifying to notice that o
reaction has taken place, and that gen.
era' tendency towards improvement is
manifest, that will provo eminel tIy salu.

is insidious in its progress, like oil other
great changes continually going on
around US, both in natdre and. art, but
OF which we are scarcely aware. For H.

AT last we are finding out who
Cesar was, if not what he Is.
A wag tells US ell about the original
Jacobs, thus: Julius CIsar-An
ancient Roman OF celebrity. He adver-
tised to the effect that he had rather be
first at Rome than second in small
village. He was man OF great mus"
culsr strength. Upon one occasion he
threw an entire army across the Rubl-
con. A general named Pompey met
him in what was called the tented
field but Pompey couldn't hold q
Roman candle to Julius. We are as
sured, upon the authority of Patrick
Henry, that Cesar had his Brutus.'
The unbiased reader oil history. how
ever, will conclude that, on the contrary
Brutus rather had Caesar. This Brutus
never struck me as an unpleasant man
to meet, but he did Caesar. After ad-
dressing few oral remarks TO Brutus
in the Latin language, Cesar expired
Cesar was bald, which Grant is not,

We are much panied by the intelll'
geuce of the sudden death OF Mr. JOHN IL

VIZ suggest to members OF the iegls-
lsture that during their present vaca-
ton it would be well for them to en-
deavor to gather the sentiment OF their
constituents as to the propriety OF MAX
ing an appropriation OF two or three
thousand dollars for a Geological Sur
vey OF the State. During number OF
years past an effort has been made in
successive legislatures to provide for q
geological survey, but from one
cause or another it has here
tofore failed of success. In
some counties the people are fully
alive to the importance of such an en-
terprise, and in some cases that we
know OF, companies have been formed
to defray the expenses OF a thorough
scientific examination Of their own
lands.
West Virginia is peculiarly rich in
minerals, but just how rich neither
citizens nor strangers have any means
Of knowing until geological survey is
made.

ATTENTION is invited TO az article
which we copy from the Parkersburg
OrthopOHtan in relation to the recent
decision OF the Supreme Court OF APP
pesls in "the Penitentiary case" citing
as corroborative of that decision q de-
cision of the Supreme Court of Ohio.
The Ohio case referred to was not cited
by the Attorneys in argument here, not
having been reported at that time, but
it seems to be directly in point and to
cover nearly the whole matter in dis
pute between the Governor and the
Board OF Public Works.
The conduct OF the Radical press in
this State in denounciug in vile and I'M
measured terms the deliberate and care
fully formed opinion OF the highest court
will do more harm to the Radical
cause than to the distinguished gentle
men upon whose heads this torrent O.!
abuse has been poured. There is no
reasonable man in West Virginia who
has read the opinion prepared by Judge
RAYMOND who can fail 20 bs convinced
that the Supreme Court correctly in
terpreted the law. But as the charge
of partisanship has been reckIessly
brought against the Court, it ia eflec!u-
ally answered by showing that the Su-
preme Court OF Ohio, in a case where
no political bias could have exercised
any Influence whatever, decided the
same question in the same way.
II any fairness, any regard Tor truth,
could be expected from the Radical
newspapers OF this State, we wonld look
10 see from some Of them retractlon
OF the ISLANDERS TO which they have
heretofore given currency IN relation
20 THE matter. They won't do 20,
however, Notwithstanding some Of them
are convinced that the decision was ex-
sctly right and that the Judges OF the
Supreme Court could not have decided
otherwise than they did without wrii.
ing themselves down either kraves or
or fools.

MOUNTAIN JUSTICE.

How n Colorado vigilance Com
mittes Lynched Two Desperadoes.
From the Denver Tribune, Aug. Is.
Balls Gulch. a mining camp in
Park county, about fifteen miles south
Of Fairplay, is where Judge Lynch"
put in his last appearance. A spirit OF
lawlessuess has been manifested among
the denizens of this camp for some time
past, and since the advent, about two
weeks since, OF couple OF men, named
respectively Henry Hall and Michael
Boyce, or big Mike" as he was called,
and the opening of whisky mill, dis
order seems TO have reigned supreme.
On Wednesday last gang OF ruffians
filled up with their own poison, and
fully armed, marched down the gulch
to the camp, which is over a mile dis
tant from the saloon. Arriving there
they commenced a general fusilade
with their revelvers, not injuring any
body, however, and also began to abuse
and insult everybody who went near
them. 1t was useless to demonstrate
with them, as they would say: You'd
better get your shooting irons if you
want anything to do with us"
After trying in almost every way to
get up fight, they at last drew weap-
ous and threatened to shoot 3
Mr.. Higginson. This was the last
feather on the camels back" with the
forbearance of the miners, and in a
short time eight men, armed with rifles,
surrounded the despersdoes. Hall and
Boyce drew their revolvers instantly,
but were prevented from shooting. The
entire gang were arrested and placed
in storehouse under guard, and taken
to Fairplay for trial. By this time the
men had become sober, and were ask
ed if they would leave the gulch peace
ably, but both Hall and Boyce refused,
saying that they would have "satisfac-
ton" before they left, and also threat
ened to shoot Colonel Hall, shoot the
men who had disarmed them and fire
the buildings in the gulch when releas-
ed. Hall said he had been a BUSH
! whacker, and nes what he was talking
about, and both showed themselves to
be most desperate Williams. Hall ia
said to have killed three men, while
Boyce is fully as bad as his companion
During the night vigilance com.
mittee was organized, a consultation
held, and in the morning the ghastIy
forms OF Hall and Boyce hung lifeless
from the limb OF a tree, about halt a
mile below the camp.
Several desperate characters who
lately went into the gulch were missins
the next day, and the camp is now
quiet and orderly, and probably will be
for some time.
