THURSDAY MORNING. JAN. 4, 1873;
CONGRESS-.

Congress did not take the customary Christ
mas recess, but adjourned over for day or
two during the holidays, including Christmas
day. The members seem more deeply impress
ed than at any recent session with the impor-
tance of expedting the business before the
National Legislature, though, notwithstand-
ing this fact, but little has yet been perfected.
Three regular annual appropriation bills have
passed both houses-the Indian, the Consular
and Diplomatic, and the Agricultural bills
To these bills some Senate amendments have
been added, which will require the sanction OF
the House. The Civil Service bill passed the
Senate by a vote of 80 to 5. The Senate has
also passed the Postal Appropriation bill, and
the Military Academy Appropriation bill.
Other appropriation bills are well advanced.
The whisky and tobacco bills-for the reduc-
tion of revenue on these articles-will proba-
bly, elicit more discussion than any pending
measures to be acted upon the present session.

LETTER FRM WHITAKER.

WHITAKER, S. C.January 1.-As the sue
cess and prosperity our county depend, in
great measure, upo1the farmers, it is neces-
Sary to know somethg of the probable, if not
definite course theyAay take in planting the
different crops. It'll almost too early as yet
to give correct Nv on this subject but
enough can be seeato Justify the assertion
that a larger area vii be given to grain than
in any previous yeat The small grain crop
in this section of ting county is from to ID
per cent. greater thb year than ever before.
The cotton area will be correspondingly small
er. However, notw thstanding this fact the
farmers will endeaIpr to produce about the
same amount of cotton on one-half of the
land usually devoted to this crop, by better
and cultivation of the land.
They seem determnad to use less commercial
fertilizers and mop3 manure Of their own
make, and to live more within their own
means, which signifies that besides other
they proNse to practice they will
also give fewer liens Ind mortgages than heres
tofore. 1t is hoped t lat these determinati
on the part of the f, ners are not conf =
