DRIVING FENCE PosTs.-A neighbor told
me how to make board-fence rapidly and
cheaply last year. He aud his hired man went
to the field where the fence posts, with ends
slightly sharpcned, were lying along the line of
the proposed fence. One man stood on plat
form TWO and half feet high, and with a
heavy mallet drove the posts as the other held
them in position. Eighty posts were thus put
down three feet deep in one afternoon. The
ground was free from large stones, and the time
selected was ust after frost had left the ground
in the spring. The posts were white oak, and
did not split by being driven. The ground was
so soft that severe punding was not necessary,
and doubtless softer wood might have been
used The fence stood firmer than where
holes had been dug and the poles regularly set.
1t is possible this method could be adopted
on soils where there is some stone by working
a crow-bar down through the soft earth to the
required depth, showing aside the stones before
the post is driven down. Two stakes driven
down side by side, with room for rails between,
and wired at top, make an excellent and cheap
temporary fence; and post driven or set three
feet with stake beside and wired to it to hold
the rails, make fence both cheap and dura-
BILE; by driving the stake into the ground
twelve to fifteen inches, only one wire will be
needed, and that at or near the top. Such fence
takes little room, and by using old rails need
cost but little money. It is less liable to sag
than the ordinary board fence made in the
usual way.-Cor. NeW York Times.

MINING IN THE SOUTHERN STATEs.-The
mining fever which has ragged with varying in
tensity, says the Boston Post, all along the
route between the two oceans the past year, has
also tended to revive mining operations in the
Southern States, especially in Georgia Two
years ago hardly anything was done in the
gold mining way in that State; now there are
a half dozen good stamp mills in operation
and more being erected, several of them run
ming with much profit to the proprietors. The
native population operate the mines on the
safest principle if they do not make the most
immense fortunes. Brought up with gold, they
regard digging for it natural industry just as
raising wheat or quarrying limestone is in
other places. They work considerably with
the pad, and feel tolerably contented if they
average $40 day. Thus if they make fewer
fortunes than Northern men who set up in the
business they also lose less. The citizens have
looked upon gold so long that it seems common
to them, and they are keeping their eyes open
for richer treasures. In several sections of the
State the flexible sandstone which accompanies
diamonds has been found, and many are wait
ing expectantly for the discovery of these gems.
But the more common subterranean products
of nature will doubtless pay the best. From
Randolph, Ala, about $l00, 900 worth of copper
ore has been shipped during the past year, and
iron production continues to reward we'll
directed enterprise. All this is in the face of
political discouragements. Give the South q
clear field and the mineral wealth of the States
would not continue to lie hidden and useless in
the bowels of the earth.

revivcs an anecdotc of Gen. Scott. He had
drawn up the rough draft of an order, in
which the word wagon occurred. The Cen

on discovering it, timidy asked on what
authority he spelled wagon" with two "g's.
"On the authority of Lieutenant General Scott,
commanding the armies Of the United States,

thought the authority sufficient.

phe negro Riot.
aHn TROUBLE nRoUoHT ABOUT ron TO
LTITCAn EFFECT.

MlfICAh EkRECEs
From ,he Atlanta t6a.) Herald, Aug. q.
We have resisted with all our
power the belief that the threat
ened riots 10 Middle Georgia had
any solid basis Of truth. That
three or four thousand negroes
should deliberately determine to
rise 10 force on a certain day and
massacre the white people Of TWEEN
III counties was too horrible to be
believed.
At last, however, after q careful
survey Of the field, we find no es.
cape from the conclusion that such
a plot did exist. In the first place,
a letter was found addressed to
the captain of q negro company.
instructing him with great particu-
larity when aud where to com
mence the attack. Negroes who
were captured confessed that such
an order had been regularly pro-
mulgated. Spies who had no
knowledge Of the letter, who were
sent out to reconnoitcr, brought
back, the same story. Bands of
armed negroes we're found in mill
-tary array with their camp-fres
burning and pickets around the
camp.
White scouts that were sent out
were fred at from the woods. And
at last o negro messenger Ia
nephew of Gen. Morris } is
caught with a letter bearing the
same Infamous orders of the letter
that had been found in Washing
ton county. Hence there can be
no doubt but that an uprising of
the negroes was planned, and that
if it had not been discovered the
farm. houses of the counties 10 the
black belt would have been at
tackled at dawn on yesterday
morning.
This fact being established, it
becomes a matter Of Importance to
know what cause it was, and what
influence, that so stirred up these
negroes. This problem, we feel
confident our correspondent, who is
now in the midst of the threatened
counties, will be able to solve for
the readers of the Herald in few
days. In the meantime, it is be-
ieved that the trouble was brought
about for the purpose of political
effect. Whether this is true or
not, we call attention to the un-
paralleled moderation with which
the Georgia people have acted in
this matter.
They have acted with a patient
endurance that challenges the adj
miration of the world. We assert
confidently that il such a damning
conspiracy as this had been dis
covered in any State of the North,
or East, or West, that blood would
have been flowing now frear than
water, and the trees would have
been burdened with a fruit that
nature never intended them to
bear. ~
