Crops in the Ninth Regiment.

Editors Of Advertiser: Your cor.
respondent having recently travelled
over portion of the ninth Regiment,
had an Oppor' unity ofseeing the con-
dition Of the crops of corn
and cotton F; and as most OF
the small grain had been recently
threshed, no guess work was necessa-
r. as to that crop. Wheat, as gen
eral thing, does not prove a remuner-
ntiYe crop in this section, and most
of the farmers have abandoned sowing
it. The oats proved about a halt
crop. These lands are we'll adapted
for oats, and the reasonsgiven for the
shortness Of this crop, were that the
oats were not sown at the usual time,
that the seed WAS badly ploughed in,
that very little manure was used, that
the unusual cold winter caused an
imperfect stand, and that the dry
apring had capped the climax Of
drawbacks. All readily admitted
that the fault was primarily in not
planting earlier in the fall. No crop
that can be raised upon there lands,
with the same expense, pays as well
as the oat crop; and under no crop
does manure pay better than an oat
crop. I speak from experience.
The treatment Of our soil has i'm
poveriahed our farms, and the Effects
of the Lien Law have made our far
mers poorer every year. Instead Of
using improved agricultural imple
ments, whereby we could cultivate
the same area of land with third
less labor and cultivate it better, most
of US are disposed 60 follow in the
old rut. And the result Of the mat
ter ls empty smoke houses, empty
barns, lean stock, horses and mules
that upon an average would not bring
in the market $50.o0per head-about
what they are assessed at.
The upland corn seemed to be
failure on account Of the poverty Of
soil, and Of very little manure being
used. And of course the dry weath
er has also had q great deal to do
with the failure. II would seem,

from the experience these planters
have had for the past three years,
that a change is absolutely necessary
for them. Corn on branches and
creek bottoms looks well, and these
rethe only spots ofland upon which
corn will be raised to any extent this
year.
Cotton has size enough, and has
been doing well until within lew
days past, but the dry weather has at
ast been too severe for this plant
The forward cotton has stopped
growing; and from the present cut
look, not more than two thirds OF an
average crop can be raised this year

DEATH OF GEN. PEMBERTaN.
A sketch ofthe Life ofthe Distingnish-
ed Confederate Soldier.
r.specia, to the Ameriean.]

.PEN1ysN, Pa, July l3.-Gen. John
C. Pemberton, who commanded the
Confederate forcesat Vicksburg when
surrendered to Gen. Grant, died here
this afternoon atabout 5 o'clock. The
deceased was born in Philsdelphia,
in 1917, and, entering West Point,
graduated in 1887. He was promo
ted to q First Lieutency Of Artillery
in ls4z, and acted as aid .ie-camp
to Gen. Worth during the Mexican
war. For gallantry at Monterey, in
1876, he was b.evetted. as Captain,
and as Major for gallantry at Molino
del Rey in lo47. He also diStin,
guished himself at Contreas and
Cherubusco, and st the capture OF the
city Of Mexico, in which he was
wounded. he became Captain Sep
tember l6, 1850, and resigned IN
1851, to enter the Confederate SER
vice as Colonel Of Cavalry. q.
was appointed Assistant Adjutant'
General to General Joseph E. john
ston, and in 1852 he became g Briga-
d;or.Coner.| and soon afterwards
Lieutenant General. He was assign
ed to the command of the army IN
Northern Mississippi, but, being de-
fsated at Champion Hills, May TO-
1868, and at Big Black river, the
next day, ne retreatsd to Vlcksburg'
where he was shut up by General
Grant. The latter made an expert
mental assault upon Pemberton's
lines, May la, but, being repulsed
settled down to regular siege. Gen
eral Grants forces were increased to
10000, while Pemberton had but
25COO effective men, was deficient In
ammunition and had rations Tor only
sixty days.. The investment contln'
ued with an almost constant bonn
bsrdment until July 3rd, when, hav;
ing no hope Of relief, Pemberton In;
v,ted an interview with Genera!
Grant, and the next day, July 4, 1868,
V,ck5burg was surrendered on hon
orable terms. The same day wit
messed the first struggle at Gettys
burg, SO that this period was Justly
considered the decisive Crisis OF the
war. The prisoners surrendered at
'vlcksburg numbered $1,000, the to-
tai previous loss of the Go 'federates
being reckoned at 10000. and the to.
tsl Union at S,575. At the close OF
the war he was inspector Of artillery,
commanding at Charleston, South
Carolina. When, peace was restored
he became a farmer near Warrenton,
Fsuqu;er county, Virginia. He sub
sequently engaged in business IN
Philadelphia.

Aiken Items.

The hot weather continues and the
President still lives.
Old friend Stafford, the contractor
and builder, moved to Aiken about
four weeks ago, and he now has three
large buildings In cour,e of erec ion

house.
Mr.. F. B. Henderson lately bought
lot of Mr.. Schmidt, for which he
gave $3.50, and the building is to
cost about 81 500 1t is to be a two
story brick store. Property here is
at gilt edge prices.
The Court House is going up rap

had a slight sunstrokc some two
weeks back.

We have three Trial Justices here
and every day The mill grinds. Some
cases are very amusing. One, last
week, was a colored boy for vagrancy.
He employed Mr.. D. to defend him
Mr., D. asked permission Of the Court
to be allowed TO see the defendant
privately. He took the prisoner into
the back yard and found that some
thing had TO be done. The attorney
took from his own pocket and gave
he boy 9 handful of silver, SO that
he might be able to show to the Court
s"me visible means of support. He
was taken back into Court, and was
soon asked if he had any money. He
said he had, and was then told to
show it, which he triumphantly did
and an order for his discharge WAS
granted. But while Mr.. D. was draw
ing the order, the prisoner, learning
the way out at the back door, stepped
forth into light nd liberty, and has
not beeu seen by either the Court or
attorney since. So you see the attor-
ney beat the Court, and the prisoner

sneech was an effective ore, full
