Editors Telkgeith Gentlemen'. I send you an extract from a letter re ceived by me from David Dickson, of Hancock county. The stress of the late war drove me into his neighbor hood, and gave me an opportunity of learning much of the system and suc cess of this enterprising planter. Fif teen years before the war, he commenc ed planting on what was considered light Randy lands much exhausted, with a capital of $25,000. When the war broko out, his capital was eighteen times larger. This result was brought about by his er.ergj' and system; by improved modes of culture ; by im provements of agricultural implements ; by nttention to the health and comfort of his laborers ; by nursing and pro tecting his stock ; and care bestowed upon his bets, his orchards and dairy. Above all, and mainly, his golden I ar vest was reaped from the judicious use of Fertilizers. Bel'eving the views he advances will bo interesting to your agricultural readers, the extract from his letter is submitted with tho hope that his example may bo imitated by our planters. Very respectfully, Jam ha A. Nisket. EXTRACT. During tho last year, I learnt some valuable new lessons : One was the training of hands to do double the amount of work, with moro ease and less wasto of sweat and muscle. My former hands being better trained than J others, had better oilers than I could give, anil nine-tentls of them left me. 1 then employed hands from as many as forty plantations, and got none that know how to work to any advantage. I had hands before the war that could pick COO pounds of cotton in a day, all Congratulatory Address of the Conservative Commit teeMagnanimity for the Vanquished. Nashville, August C. To the FeopTe of Davidson County : We, the Executive Committee in the recent election congratulate you upon the signal triumph of the gTeat cause which was achieved at the ballot-box on Thursday. The first Thursday of August, in Tennessee, in each alternate year, has ever been an important day in our annals. But that which has just passed had a far deeper illustra tion, from the momentous issue at stake. The sun rose that day upon one hundred thousand white men in tho State, who, for more than four years, had groaned under the most grievous despotism. It sot that even- mar in all its brightness upon these : by day light, and all hands that went same men, free, regenerated, and dis enthralled. This solemn result was wrought out not. by power not by force, but by the calm verdict of public opinion by the ballot by the reawa kened sense of justice. In the hour of victory, while we have no language adequate to express our joy, we have no words of vulgar exultation to utter. Such an expression would but mar the dignity of the occasion. The issue in tho late election was enfranchisement there was no other. The result is in our favor by an overwhelming major ity. And now, if we have been here tofore proscribed, let us not proscribe again. If we have been oppressed, our revenge is complete in the success of our cause. We can aiford to be maguauimous, model ate, and tolerant, and in fact we are bound to be so in conformity to our professions. Those w ho oppressed us are our fellow-citizens a large part of the population and wealth of the State. We and they aro still to dwell together for weal or woe, aud it will take the united exer tions of all to redeem the State from the evils that oppress her. We respect- I fully urge upon our friends everywhere Churchill & Whiteside. ATTORNEYS AND COUNSELORS AT LAW, KUTHEKFOKDTUX, X. C.

And while wo have before us the op portunity to share in the administration of the fctate government, we will have a chaice also to disprove the repeatod charges of disloyalty to the national government. To preserve both in all their purity and g'ory is the duty, and ought to be the ambition of all. It is ....... our common country, with all ite glori ous memories, and will be the country of our posterity for ages to come, long after w e are forgotten. Let our motto be, "Prosperity to both: peace on earth and good will to all men." We would do our feelings great wrong did we close this address without express ing: our giatitude to Governor Senter, the universal suffrage standard-bearer ia the late contest, lie has borne him self gallautly and deserves our pro- t llnimgtoii, Charlotte & Rutherford Railroad. We consider it almost a certainty that work on the Wilmington, Char lotte and Rutherford Railroad will be pushed forward with considerable en ergy. The President does not intend to sacrifice the bonds appropriated by the State on certain conditions. They will not be sold until they have reached a market value far exceeding the present offers made in New York. But by the very simple process of hy pothecation, .money will be advanced by capitalists, to the extent of forty per cent, of the par value of the bonds ; and this money will be expended in the construction of the road. How far it will extend the road from Rock ingham and Cherryville West, we are not advised. But the nearer the work approaches completion the more the bonds will appreciate. And by the time the money raised by hypotheca ting the bonds is exhausted the latter will, we hope, and have good reason to believe, be worth at least fifty per cent, more iu the market than at present. It is the intention of the President, we hear, to make an arrangement, if possible, by which the Company will pay promptly and regularly the inter est on their bonds. We think Dr. Sloan is endeavoring to perfect an un derstanding with all the Companies that have received appropriations to pay each the interest on its own bonds as it falls due. And it is highly prob able this object will be carried out. If it is, it will contribute greatly in restoring our State credit, now so near ly ruined, and enable the new admin ministration to complete the Wilming ton, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad from Rockingham to Charlotte, and from Cherryville as far West, probably, as Kutherfordton. We have information, from several parties, that makes us very hopeful of the future of our great railroad artery, especially when we consider the ad verse circumstances that now surround 115. We are assured by those who know Dr. Sloan well that he is an excellent practical business man, and enjoys the confidence, in every respect, of the people among whom he resides. And we believe he will be encouraged and sustained by the people of this section if he will make a faithful effort (as wc believe he will) to discharge hi? duties with an eve single to the interests of ment of Alaj.

Pursuant to notice, a number of the Superior Court Clerk9 of the State, met at the Court House in this City, to-day, and organized by the appoint- Holiness and Humility. Holiness and 'humility - are inspara bly connected. The nearor the soul comes to God, -the more completely it is humbled, .subdued and over powered. It was when Job heard, the .voice of the Lord out - of the whirlwind that he exclaimed, "I abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes." 'When' the "still small voice" of God spoke to the exiled prophet in his cave, ' he wrapped his blushing face in his mantel, and his whole being bowed before the Divine presence and power. It was when the evangelical prophet Isaiah saw the glory of the Lord, and heard the six-winged seraphim crying one to another, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts," that he cried out, "Woe is me, fori am undone." It was after Paul had been caught up into the third heaven that he said of himself that he was""The least of the saints." And it was the beloved disci ple whose head had leaned on the breast of Jesus, and who had beheld his glory in a pocalyptic vision, whose meok,child liko spirit has been tho admiration of all ages. Thus it is with ever saint on oarth, and it is so with every glorified spirit in heaven. The higher the soul rises iu holiness, the deeper it sinks in humility and self abasement. So sings Montgomery : " Bird that soars on the highest wing, Builds on tho giound her lowly nest; And she that doth most sweetly sing. Sings in the shade, when all things rest ; In lark and nightingale we seo What honor hath humility. " Tho saints that wears heven's brightest crown, In lowliest adoration bends ; Tho weight of glory bows him down The most, when most his soul ascends ; Nearest tha throne itself must bo The footstool of humility."

The best manures bring tho crop of bolls on cotton early, and a drouth then, with haK a crop, would check tho growth, whilst tho cotton with an inferior man ure, and but few bolls, would bo injur ed ; tho rains setting in would injure the first far more than the last.

It is a sacrilege to drag the widow forth from her grief to be fitted with a gown or select a vail. It is often terribly oppressive to the poor. The window left desolate with a halfdozon little children, the family means already reduced by a long sick ness of the father, must draw on her scanty purse to buy a new wararooe throughout for herself and children, throwing away the good stock of gar ments already prepared, when she knows not where she is to get bread for these little ones. Truly may fashion be called a tyrant, when it robs the wid ow of her last dollar. Surely your sorrow will not be ques tioned, even if you should not call in the milliner to help you display it. Do not, ia your affliction help uphold a cus tom w hich will turn the affictions of your poore neighbor to deeper poverty, as well as sorrow. lhe ventral isajtusi. Very Singular. From Bell's station, Tenn., came the particulars of a most singular phenom enon. Wm. Rowell was struck sud denly deaf and dumb, a fow days ago, while going to Memphis from his place of residence. Out of mere sport, when a newsboy came round and offered him a paper, he feigned to bo deaf and dumb, and in this way annoyed the vender. The newsboy passed on. but the unfortunate joker never spoke again. When he began to realize the extent of his misfortune, he got off he train, bound for Memphis, at Mason's depot, and took the first return train. On the cars he indulged iu loud lamen tations and cries, as if sorely distress ed.

First, pour tepid or cold water enough on the tea to cover it, place it on the stove hearth, top of a tea-kettle, or any place where it will be warm, but not enough so as to cause the aroma to escape in steam.

A recent circular from the Minister of War, Marshal Neil, instructs the commander? of military divisions to proceed with the greatest activity in instructing the corns of all branches of the service. In this circular Mar shal Nicl acknowledges that it impo ses heavy sacrifices on the country to place an effective force of 400,000 men. He consequently recommends the commanders to turn every moment to account in drilling the troops, and 44 seriously preparing them for all the operations of w ar."
