A FAREWELL SURRENDER

4--
(From the Register of the 18th inst.)
Unlike the day previous, geetbrday
was lovely spring day, the little
spari ows were twitting in the tree
tops, the streets were filed with fair
women and bright happy childron
early in the morhing. ahddater in the
day, for on hour or two, by all classes,
ages apdrnsexes of people-mapy of
them having come. out TO witness tho
pageant of Howo'S show. At min.
utes to IL, Wade Il, Manning, Esq,
Private Secretary to IGoy.c Hampton
knocked at tho outer, door of the Ex-
eeutiVe office in the capitol, and upon
being admitted, quietly informed Mr..
Babbit, who has becn officiating in
the same capacity for Mr. Chambers
lain, that he came from Gov: Ham b.
ton to receive the great seal of State,
the archieves, &C., &c. Mi. Babbitt
informed Secretary Manning that he
had been ordered to surrender these
properties Of the Executive Office at
| IL o'clock; and as that hour was but q
tew minutes off, it Mr.. Manning would
be seated for few minutes he would
surrender as bo had been directed. -
Mr.. Manning took q chair, but by the
tlmo he had become comfortably seat
ed, tho town bolr tolcd tho hour Of
l2-the hour at which South Carolina
was to have o new birth, and begin
anew useful, honorable and pros
porous life. The tolling of that bell,
according to Honest John Patterson's
testimony, was "the death knc!l of
Radicalism in South Carolina" When
the bell ceased to strike, Mr.. Babbitt
turned to Secretary Manning and de-
l!vered to him the great seal of State,
told OF the Whereabouts of the various
papers in the Office, handed him the
keyes OF the Office, and, with hat in
hand, bowed himself out of the Exc
cutive chamber. There was nothing
unpleasant in the interview; all passed
off politely and placidly between tho
exit of the old and the entrance of the
new Secretary. William Rose, the
faithful body servant of Col. Maxcy
Gregg during tho late war, and who
has so we'll filled tho position of janitor
at Governor Hampton's headquarters
during the trying political ordeal
through which we have just passed
was directed to put up the shutters,
close up tho doors at the proper hours,
and take possession of the keys of the
building, and "Feace reigned in War

The Troops WithdraWn u" =.
A miserable .drizzling. rain fell ycss
terday morning, and The sun refused
to shine, as if ashamed Of the part the
national army and its gallant officers
and mon had been compelled, in the
line of duty, to take in depriving the
people of a sovereign State of their
rights and liberties as guaranteed to
them by the constitution of the United
States and the constitution of this
State. The streets, Notwithstanding
the murky atm mosphoro and the "Lon
don fog" which hung over tho city
like pail, looked q trifo lively, for
tho bright groom, half maturod leaves
from the scattering shade trees which
hero and thele greet tho eye along
Richardson street, relieved tho SOM
bro landscape beyond, rs each anxious
eye looked towards the capitol. There
shone, too, from the eye Of every
honest man in tho community, as
they passed each other upon the main
theroughfare, a peculiarly bright and
triumphant light-a light which can
only gladden. the hearts and cheer the
souls of men who feel that truth, and
right have in their behalf at last tr;-
umphcd over wrong, oppression and
guilt.
Precisely at II o'clock-just as the
sleepy sentinel who tolls tho City
Hall bell struck the bell the tenth
time in making up his scoro of twelve
tho south door of the capitol build
ing opened wide, and captain of the
Unitod States Army, commanding
about thirty mon, filed out of the
building. AS the order "Column left,
march," (Which order turned the faces
of the "boys in blue" towards the
barracks) was given, a smilo might
have been seen upon the face of every
man in the command. Ifthe people
were joyous over the event, for va>
rious reasons the troops had occasion
TO be glad also. ..
There was no demonstration of any
kind upon the part of the people,
About one hundred and liity men,
majority of whom were colored, were
standing around the building, who
witnessed the departure of the troops
Beyond this there was no indication
that anything more than the usual
guard had been relieved from duty
for tho day. ...
Thus endscarpet bag reign in South
Carolina, and the scene we have de-
scribed was the closing one in the vile, +,
unnatural and ungodly state of affairs
which has existed in this State for the
last seVen years--a state of affairs
which has brought ruin, desoIation and
misery upon brave people.
Lator in the day the buncombe
farewell address OF exoGov. Chamber
lain, announcing his abdication, was
promulgated.
Tho following correspondence, which
explains itself, was also had between
Mr.. Chamberlain and Gov. Hampton:

by proving sterile. Why have these great
expectations failed in results? Because
those cattle were pampered 10 an extent
which ruined them, lhey were kept So
fit that they were spoiled. Knowing ines"
facts, how many compete for the prizes
offered by poultry associations for the
heaviest hicks and fowls; and then how
readily these pampered fowls are cau-h

them with precisely the results attained

the roots will make a fibrous growth which

ranspanted the better. after the leaves
have ceased to act. This may be ascer-
aimed by the first discoloration Of the
leaves. which is proof that their cells are

agents are or have been delivering their
rees this fall, and we have had unvarying
success on our soil in setting in the fall
and the loss has been very little more,
when set IN the spring. If one is ambl-
tious to see how many trees they can lose
in setting them, pry out the young trees
with an iron bar, cut off any root which

Mr. Fosters CIsTERN AND FILTER
Pure water for domestic use is of great
importance. In most wells tho water is
more or less inpregnated with lime, or
other mineral or earthly sube ance, so that
it is moi so pure us rain water. Wells are
often so deep tina it is hard drawing the
water. For family use | would recon-
mend II cislern. Most places where II well
can b. dug, and where it is not so sandy
as TO cave. a cistern can be plastered with
cement without walling with brick or
stone. When | built my house four years
ago, dug my cistern back of the house,
berore built the summer kitchen, so MS
to have it in the kitchen. The filterer is Il
small cistern, one or two feet from the
other cistern, with tile for spout to
connect them. The end of this pipe in
he filterer is enclosed by small circular

discharging into the cistern is twenty-four
feet by forty. Yet it is only the most
violent thunder shower that gives more
THAN enough water to pass readily through
the filterer
The main cistern is six feet in diameter
and twenty-four feet deep. This gives us
cool water all summer-as cool as we'll

it from the living room. In this place
water can be used freely, by Swinging,

The temperature, with this arrangement

are saved from dust and many evils which
we manage to endure and live, but which
generally prove too much for the plants.

IMPROVED PROPAGATION BY CUTTINGS.
Peter Henderson described last winter,
in the AgriculturiSt, which we reprint
from the Country Gentleman, an improved
mode he was then using for tho propaga'
ton of geraniums His object WAS, in the
first place, to avoid the exhaustion of the
parent plants by the removal of cuttings
abruptly; and secondly 10 make sure work
Ile takes the young shoot which is to be
used as cutting, and snaps it short. leay-
ing it hanging by u small portion OF the
bark. This shred is sufficient to sustain
the cutting, without any material injury
from whiting, until it forms callus, which
precedes the formation of roots. In from
eight to twelve days it is detached and
ported in two and three-inch lots. 1t is
rather less shaded and watered than ordl-
nary cuttings. and forms roots in about
eight to twelve days more. Lust fall Mr.
ii. propagated about 10000 plants OF the
tricOlor class, without losing one per cent.
With the common method, he thinks hr
would have lost fifty per cent. This mole
is applicable TO the Abu;ilon, Br9onia,
CarnatioD, Cactus, Lantana, Oleander, &t.,
by using young unripened shoots, If the
shoot does not break, but simply bends to
knee, knife may be used for cutting
about two-thirds thr ugh.

New VEGETABLES. "A writer in the
New York Tunes gives his opinion vi
some new vegetables us follows:
1.-The past seasons experience has
proved the value of at least few IF the
newer vegetables brought out by the
seedsmen. Among tomatoes the Trophy
is by far the best Of the newer varieties,
although this is now well established The
Little Gem, for 25 seeds of which gave
rs cents, is little, and IL gem certainly,
sweet favored, solid, smooth, and bears
abundantly; but it is no better than the
Trophy.
OF peas, Laxton's Alpha, the Little
Gem, dwarf, and LaxlonS Supreme have
turned out excelIently. The second needs
no bushing, bears large pods very plentl-
fully, and is very sweet. For early, sec
ond early, and late, shall plant Liulc
Gems next year. The Supreme is II fine
pea, having long, full pods. 1t grows
about three feet high.
Dreer's improved dwarf Lima bean is an
acquisition. 1t is very prolific, the pods
are closely filled, and it bears about donb-
lie the crop Of the common sort. But OF all
the prolific vegetables, the Green ProliIi'
cucumber has taken the palm. For pick
les, either for use or for sale. there can be
none better. One hill Of three plants has
produced more than half II bushel Of Gu
cumbsrs, which grew in lunches and with
remarkable rapidty Peruvian guano may
have helped, but there is great deal III
the variety itself. Of squashes, a new
cross bred of Mr.. Gregory, of Marblehcad,
named the Butmnn, has proved better than
the Aarblehead, one of its parents. For
pi,sit is superior to any thatl have grown.
The flesh, when cooked, is dry, sweet, and
very full of flavor. This variety is gigor-
Gus enoughrto withstand a hundred borcrs
in each vine without perishing. The ear
ly Peabody sweet potato is another acquis-
lion. 1t is red.skinned, and early enough
to permit of its growth far north, doubt
not, even in Canada. 1t is too soon, rs
yet, to decide as to its quality. At proseni
it is soft and watery.'

WHAT SIR SAMUEL OBSERvED.-It is
noted AS u curious fact by Sir Samuel
Baker. that u negro has never been known
to tame an elephant or any wild animal.
The elephants employed by the ancient
Carlhaginians and Romans were trained
by Arabs or Carthaginians, never by ne
groes. A person might travel all over
Africa. and never see wild animal train
ed and petted. 1t had often struck Sir
Samuel rs very distressing that the little
children never have u pet animal; and
though he had often offered rewards for
Young elephants, he had never succeeded
in getting one alive.
