Mkssrs. Editors:?Your known friendii Ht ticss to the agriculturist, anil your laudabli Idicitude to promote his interest, have em >Jdened me to send you a few remarks, writ n in such brief intervals of leisure as an ac re life on a plantation afTorded. I wish the} issessed some charms of style to palliate th< Mit of method and clearness, but I indulg< e hope that the reader will overlook fault: iich are frankly confessed. It is not my purpose at present to descani on the different modes ofcultivation in vogue r to enumerate the implements daily inven I to simplify and diminish labor, hut to en avor to the best of iny ability to'inspire re set for agricultural pursuits, and to remove s silly prejudices cherished against them. Ii a prevalent notion in some quarters, that the iner leads a drudging, undignified, and dul 5; that the nature of his avocations utterh Molalities him for participation in the refinec jasurcs of social life ; and if he enters life a: nan of any scientific or literary attainment1 unavoidably loses them, and sinks down inte Wintry bumpkiu. 11:esc notions have infec (the women, and in some cases lead to the oishment of the domestic employments itch once so honorably distinguished our la s.

Law | vers and doctors multiply so rapidly as to r? H^^Suind one of the wish of Sir Thomas Browne K, that *^iien njight procreate like trees." Mus | a man belong to one of the learned pn fession [ to command respect For one, 1 differ fron any such opinion. Is not the farmer moqe independent in th true sense of the term than all other classes Is there anything in his pursuits, incompatible with jthe culture of his mind ? lie lives ii daily and hourly communion with nature, en joys unlimited opportunities of observatioi and reflection, and may ramble at pleasur among the beauties of animated nature. Th vernal bloom of spring and the mellow afflu ence of autumn, dispose his mind to contem plation and lead him to look up to the " Give of every perfect gift," w ith a heart melted wit! gratitude. Nor is he precluded by h:s avoca nous from the improvement of his mind b reading and study. There are moments whei reading stands to him in the stead of the bois terous gabble of the bar room, and the beas tial orgies of the brothel. When prevents from stirring abroad, reading becomes asolac and amusement, instead of being resorted t merely to kill time. These moments, rightl improved by judicious reading, will enable hin to accumulate stores of information. The an hill is formed by successive accretions of th minutest particles, r.nd knowledge is gatherei the same way. Let us compare him with th uiemoers of the learned professions, that w may reach a just conclusion in reference to hi means of mental culture and capacity fur hap piness. The physician stands so much by the coucl . e '.;.l,nass ?nd beholds so much suffering tlia M OiV/n uvww ? his finer feelings are blunted and chilled. I he i* a man of proper feelings the coovictioi of his inability to relieve the suffering of dis case, must harrow hi-, soul. He who hourl* witnesses so much suffering, is hut too apt t< become cold in heart and callous in feeling. The lawyer is a telescope to expose the de pravitv of human nature. I lis ear is stunner with the confessions of shoe'*'.' gcri'.ies. Th< la LS? turpitude of human mind, the ebulilion of e guilty passion, the griping usury of the nnVr, I deep planned knavery, and the sneaking pusil- v laniinity of the poltroon, furnish him employment and bread. Crime is silted in all its t loathsome details, and sounded to its darkest n depths of infamy. He sees human nature in a its worst phase. He sees the human heart do- s nuded of all the flimsy disguises by which its n workings are hid from the world, blackened n with crime, scorched with passion, and dwarfed v by selfishness, until he becomes to regard vir- a tue as an empty name to cozen fools with, and a friendship but the jargon of unprincipled 1; knaves. Such impressions however unjust to 1 mankind, utterly preclude him from the noble c enjoyments of reciprocal friendship. The law- a yer bv pleading on all sides, is too ant to lose t sight of the great principles of truth, and to f multiply crimes by the facility of escape. t Let us undazzled by the glare of public life and the trappings of the officer, take the gauge and dimensions of the happiness of the politi* cian. I The sword of Damocles hangs by him day ^ and night. His lite is an occuation ueiwecu f hope and fear. He is the object of general s abuse and calumny. His motives arc ran- s corouslv assailed, his integrity called in ques- t tion, and his course however open, is misrepre- t sented and calumniated. To-day, thousands, ? guided by caprice, or tickled by his tinsel rhe- j toric, conspire to make him a demi-god, but j to-morrow a rival, whom he had overlooked, j forces him into retirement. lie may plant N his foot on the topmost round of the ladder of ? fame ; vast assemblies may hang on his words, *\ and newspapers vie with emulative toadyism f in fulsome adulation, but the next gyration of | the political wheel hurls him to the dust amid [ the jeers and cxultings of his foes, and the c stimulated regrets of his party friends. The [, evening of his days, instead of being enlivened t by cheerfulness, is querulous, discontented, and j embittered by chagrin and party hatred. I These wayside reflections have allured me f into a slight deflection from the subject matter r J of this article, but I flatter myself they will j facilitate the accomplishment of the object so c much and so earnestly desired by all farmers, j, viz: the removal of the absurd prejudices v against the vocation of the agriculturist. i \iy-. Do not misconceive my meaning. I am not t attempting to show that farmers suns are une qual to ti?$ performance of the duties of the j learned proifessions. Whence sprung the orators, who have successfully contested the palm r of eloquence with the laureled sages of antiqui- j(' ty; and the statesmen, who have guided the g vessel of State, and shed such lustre on our national history ? They were not the puling r scions of a purse-proud aristocracy, nor the " * * - " i i. ? sickly products o! the tecuieni not-oeus ui ; fashion. They were not reared amid scenes - of luxury and profusion, nor initiated into the grog-shop and brothel, ere they got rid of t clouts. They were nottaught to prefer broadcloth to the treasures of knowledge and the I corruscations of art, and regard manual labor S as a badge of servitude, and idleness as the patent of nobility. They were reared for the r , ruost part in the seclusion of the country ; ext ercisegave them robust health and strength; k remoteness from large cities rendered them I moral an 1 upright, and their minds having , been self-taught are self-relying and indepenI dent. The city mannikin may bow with more r - courtliness of manner, and stare at a lady with ^ 3 morc',unabashed impudence than a plain farm } er, who bangs out uo false signs of wealth? i but his highest achievement is to crack a watch- a j man's head, as his ambition is to copy the dress of the cast off footman of some English \ lordling. f At least two thirds of our most distinguished n ; orators, generals, and authors, were bred in the tl I .country; and to the habits then formed, their c s success in the battle of life was?mainly owing.' c Washington appears moro truly great when 1 relinquishing the trappings of office, and seek- c 1 ing happiness on Mt. Vernon, than when F shadowed with the laurels of the warrior, or P ^ invested with the Presidential purple. Andrew p Jackson thought it no disgrace to be a farmer, 3 and the American masses decided that it should ^ , be no ground for his exclusion from the Chief ~ " Magistracy. - * j Now, the question arises how is the farmer G t to be elevated to his legitimate rank into society, and the annual accessions to the pro- ? fession ended ? As I am a farmer, I shall make \ 1 no apology for addressing myself to this ques- \ ( tion with earnestness. I In the first place it is of primary importance * e that more attention should be devoted to such g ,. sciences as aid us in the analysis of our soils, c g and the application of manure. Chemistry C 3 should form the study of every person who designs to become a cultivator of the soil. ^ , Knowledge of .agricultural chemistry is the j | corner stone ol the farmer. Independently of I t' the pleasure to be derived from its study, it i s will prove highly useful to one who tills the ^ a ground. We all know'that some manures cause both corn and cotton to "fire" and to e fail in seasons of drought, yet how few can f give a rational explanation of this phenomenon, r not recommending people to grasp shadows, t: a' or to adopt every untried theory, but to ac; ( quire a practical knowledge of all that dimin- c u ishes labor, and prevents the exhaustion of the e e soil; to increase the usefulness and respccta- c e bility of their vocation by mental improve* _ ( incnt; and to lay aside the customs of past j times, as things that have been superseded by 11 * new inventions. ti Ij Secondly, as matters now stand, every one feels the evils resulting from the lack of the ' espiril d'corps, which common habits, homoj, genious interests, and kindred pursuits should ^ . inspire. Kach man depends upon his own 1 stock of knowledge, and neighborhood is divij aod from neighborhood as if by an impassable e guM". We know lathing of what is transpiring 1 0 outside of our own neighborhood, and not un- * v frequently never see our nearest'neighbors l, n more than once in six months. The wise ob- y t servant man may pick a speculation out of the <! e conversation of the most stupid and illiterate, t| arid improve by the blunders ol others. I?ut e do we manifest any desire to gain information, e to abandon our false notions, and to avail our- j selves of the salutary improvements of the ? J'age? The mass of agriculturists seem indis- 11 solubly woddefl to the customs ?jf their lathers. J I, "Bonk Fat riling" is a synonym of arrant and t ill .success. ), f This is a serious obstacle to improvement. , If farmers would organize county societies for the distribution of the premiums, the inter- c I' change of individual experiences, the discussion of new improvements and theories, they would add to their stock of knowledge, and give a fresh impulse to agricultural progress, i The social relations and neighborly charities, . I t'.a* such reunions would produce, arc alone j nougli to justify t!io formation of those coun ry societies. We must act with concert, i re would accomplish anything of moment. I shall conclude this article by invoking plan ers, however meagre their early educatio lay have been, or much neglected, to tak gricnltural papers, to throw aside their avei ion to book farmiwg, and to improve .tliei ninds by a judicious course of reading. Di ;ot lag behind the age, nor cling to custom; vhich have long since been condemned. 13.i hove nil, employ all your arts of persuasio nd influence, to dissuade your suns from enmiking in professions now too overstocked Agriculture opens a fair field for the exerercis if their talent, and affords full scope for thei mbition. Edmund llnffiu has earned a fam hat time cannot efface. lie is more 01 a Dem actor of his race than the hero, whose claim o fame arc recorded in blood. A: W. DlLLAnD. ? ?

McDOWALL k COOPER. Counnaptioa Cured Daily " BT DR. H ACTING *8 Compound Syrmnp of Naptha. THE Medical Faculty, as well us the public, are struck with wonder at the numerous cures made by thisextraoniinary medicine, and it is acknowledged by many of our most eminent physicians to be a certain and speedy cure for tubucular consumption, in its worst stages, it has been recommended by that eminent physician, Dr Mott, and is constantly used in the Marine Hospital, at Savanah, Ga., by Dr. Arnold, the senior physician of that hospital. The London Lancet, London Medical Journal, Braithwaite's Retrospect, and all others of the London Medical Journals, have spoken 5n praise many times of th surprising effects of DR. HACTING'S PREPARATION. It has been thoroughly tried, not only in the Hospita underthe charge of Dr. Hastings in London, but also by all the first physicians of England, and all have fully endorsed it as an unrivalled remedy in Consumption, and all ^ other diseases of the lungs. The following are a few of the opinions expressed by the Medical Faculty of England. DrW illiams, of Manchester, thus writes: , " Under its influence I have seen the emaciated beingl on whose brow death hadseemed to have set his seal, acquiring vigoration and strength, and exchange his early mornings of suffering and distressing cough for the sound repose which alone accompanies sound health." Dr. Ware, of Liverpool, says: <> > 1 u..nn?'a Svmn nf Nantha as one of the first i nrgaru >6 = ~3.~r medical discoveries of any age,and consider iu agency in curing consumption as established beyond all doubt ro question." "Dr.Boyd of Lancaster, "Hails it as the great consump* tion antidote and cure," and Dr. Hamilton, of Bath, pronounces it "the only known remedy which may be relied on for moving tubercles from the lungs, and preventing the formation of others." A single bottle will prove its efficacy; All the proprietor asks is the trial of one bottle, the action ofwhich w ill ptove to the patient the virtue of this medciine. Coughs, colds, bronchitis, decline, asthma, night sweats, anospitting of blood, are cored in a surpri^ugly short time; theigpverest colds having yielded to the treatment of the Naphtha Syrup in the short space -if forty-eight hours. Jamefc Western, of Pontine, .Michigan, was attacked with Spitting of blood, and could obtain no relief till he tried ii HASTINGS NAPHTHA. which stepped it in half an haur. To enumerate all the qtfros performed by this medicine would occupy a column but for want of space, we must forbear, and say that one trial will be more satisfactory, and prove its efficacy 1>?ynnd a doubt.
