Col. A. COWARD, Principal Kings Mountain
Military School, YorkviNe, S. c.:
SIR:-I am in receipt of your favor of the 18th
ultimo, informing me that you have made
arrangements to procure the necessary arms
and equipments for the corps of cadets under
your command; but that you desire that I
will advise you whether the use of guns, &C.,
"for school purposes" would render you liable
to prosecution under the militia law of the
State?
In reply, I would inform you that the
arming and drilling of your corps of cadets,
as a part of the curriculum of your military
school, will not render you liable to prosecu-
tion under the militia law of the State. The
prohibitions of section IA, chapter Is, of the
General Statutes, to which your question
doubtless relates, were designed to inhibit the
formation of volunteer military organizations,
aud thus to promote the embodying of the
arms bearing population into the National
Guard of the State of South Carolina"
Such being the reason of the law, it follows
that your proposed action would not infringe
it, for it specially exempts from military
duty, professors, teachers, and students in
colleges" and academies" (Ibid sec. ~
would observe further, that nothing less
than the plain and express words of the stat
ute would warrant court in holding that
the General Assembly intended to deny to
the youth of the State, the privilege Of
military tuition, and the physical discipline
incident thereto. In country like ours
whose free institutions must find their ulti-
mate defence in the martial proves Of the
patriotic citizen, it is sound public policy to
promote the establishment of military schools,
where the American youth, while receiving
instruction in polite letters, and in the arts
which adorn and elevate society in peace, may
be trained in the science of arms, to maintain
the honor, and advance the glory of the Re.
public in war.
am, sir, very respectfully,
T. j. MAcKEY, Circuit Judge.

THE CAMPAIGN.

come to Virginia as an othce.seeker, and IS
worthy man and useful citizen.
David Fully, for Attorney-Gencral, is an
old and able lawyer of Augusta county.
Taken altogether, the Radical ticket has
strong points and weak points. 1t is about
as good, however, as the Republicans could
have put forward.
The Conservative candidates are all strong
men. James L. Kemper, for Governor, was
brave and popular Confederate soldier He
is good speaker and talks to the "boys" in
manner that will be apt to bring them all out
on election day.
For Lieutenant-G Governor, they have Rob-
ert E. Withers, of Wythe county. He, too,
was Confederate soldier, and is a man of
great popularity.
Robert T. Daniel, for Attorney General,
completes the ticket.
All these men are able, popular and good
speakers. The Conservatives could hardly
have hit upon better ticket.
And now as to the prospect ahead. Grant
carried the State by two thousand over Gree
ley, which would seem to give the Radicals
peg upon which to hang great hopes; but it
should be remembered that at that very elec-
ton the Conservatives elected their candidates
for Congress by an aggregate majority of
fourteen thousand. At the same time there
were thirty thousand who did not vote. These
Preserves" held the balance of power, and the
great bulk of them are Conservatives.
So it would appear, at the present writing,
as though the Conservative ticket would tri.
umph by a majority Of between fifteen and
twenty thousand.
The Radicals are working like beavers,
and claim to be confident, but the tide is
against them. MEMO.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickencd, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the folliclcs arc de-
stroycd, or the glands atrophied and
docayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that n new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric,' and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and q grateful perfume.

FALL PLowING FOR PoTAroEs. -Ever
since the period of the appearance of the
potato.rot in this country, farmers have
been studying, more or less closely, the
potato crop, and we believe VIC speak
within the bounds Of truth in saying, that
all who have had the best opportunity to
judge have decided that the application
of mineral manures will give the best re.
suit, and the use of strong horse, or other
fermentng manures, the poorest return.
Especially does this prove true in seasons
when rot is most prevalent. In New
Jersey the green sand mari used avishly,
supplies all the mineral elements. In
other localities, wnere this cannot be Oh.
tanned, ashes, lime, plaster and superphos.
phate of lime are employed with certain
ty, when properly applied in sufficient
quantities.
All strong soils yield better crop Of
potatoes when plowed, and completely
puverized in autumn, and we suppose
this to be mainly due to the elimination
Of the mineral elements, consequent on
the communion of the soil, and its ex.
posure to atmospheric influences during
winter. In the spring the more thor.
oughly the ground is again plowed, the
better for the crop.

PLANTING FRuIr TREES. Whether
spring or autumn is the best time for
planting fruit trees, is vexing question.
How it may best be done is of most i'm.
portauce. Many think the question of
expense settled by the cost Of the trees,
yet every man who does not spend dou-
BILE, triple or quadruple the cost of the
trees in planting them, is making great
mistake,
Nothing that is worth doing at all is
worth doing so well as planting fruit
trees Wherever tree is to be planted
the soil should be enriched to the depth
Of at least two feet. aud not less than six
feet across. This preparation should
precede planting at least month. No
raw manure, or other substance liable to
fcrment while decomposing, should come
in contact with the roots. Don't hesitate
to postpone planting one or two years, in
order to make thorough preparation.
This is the way to get fruit quickly.
Apple trees properly planted often bear
in four years, and pear trees in six and
they never die prematurely, as do thou.
sands planted in the sovenly fashion that
prevails.
The scarcity Of trees. for few years
past has stimulated propagation to an
extent that we fear will lead to low
prices, and this in its turn to excessive
and careless planting in the future, as in
the past. Let us respect the feelings of
our children, and in their inter-
est as well as our own, "turn over new
leaf" in the matter of planting fruit
trees.
