PEACH CULTURE. |th? > We are aware of the question in refer- j *1'" ^ euce lo the nativity of this delicious fruit, " ' and are willing to concede that some doubt c?nju may be said to rest upon it. Pliny says that " ' it was sent into Egypt by the kings of Per- orcnt sia, and that the Romans imported it from j Persia. Royle says that it grows wild in l! u J that country, and Dr. Siokler regards Per- '? ,Cl sia as the original locality. The question L'V ,v is settled satisfactorily to our minds, and the f"tt name Persica has fixed it forever. It was w '! ? introduced into this country soon after its n' 11 settlement by Europeans. Dr. Hell, in his ' re.1 * Treatiso on Regimen and Longevity, re- j.e*u 4 marks that tho facility of raising the peach j j'tor from the stone has probably lemied to its I B\ !?V general diffusion throughout tho world; | r,?11 that it has steadily followed tho progress of ! R,uu' civilization; and man, from China to Peru, l,rosP has surrounded himself with the luxury of e,!!e.r' this, and of the other stone fruits, very soon after he has hcgun to taste the blessings of . P a civilized life. We will not say that tho turml peach will compare in importance with the bread plants, whose early history is in vol v- | n !,ev od in obscuro tradition and myth, and which, ol we are told, were conferred upon man, as n JUL'"t great gift, by a special descent of the gods ^ themselves to earth. Each of the nations of > ^ antiquity have claimed the honor therefore , pi *lt I o for its particular god?as, for example: Italy j | for Ceres, India for Rrnhina, Greoce for J! . Demeter, and Egypt for Lis. The very ! ' . 1 same feoling which has produced tho most1 acrimonious disputes in reference to the birth-place of many renowned men in the j world has operated in respect lo many of |j?( * the gilts of Providence; and the disputes ,' ,u'11 about tho peach can bo regarded in no other P 'ls^' lirrl.t lliun o c ii t nui i mini v lit it* itIapv iiii.I ' 6 ' J b # (/QOU4 liifflily extended usefulness. ^ ^ But our simple purpose was to call attention in n very few words to the subject of' Cl peach culture. That a fine peach is a great an j? luxury, no ono will question. There are few | j higher carnal pleasures than that which is ^ ^ experienced while eating a couple of dozen i j of luscious and highly-flavored peaches; and, UJ by the way, at the risk of being thought w t behind the age we will add, that we think ^ they laslo belter when brought in contactj jj | with tVon, than w\[.h silver. The man ?fjw|,jc| science no doubt can give a reason for this; ^ and though the acid and the metal are j ' , e i , * , ., . and I present to our mind, and old (ralvani nn- > ir -it . i i I ol,r ' pears before us, wo wili not usk an expla- j (| nation. But we will not stop at c: lling the I wjia^ pench a great luxury; for with many these been terms would not be a very high compliment. J O \\ JJJJ "While it is delicious to the palate, it is high- Co(|| ly nutritious. In all the received classdi j. | | cations of food, it lakes ils place with oilier y fruits under the hend of acidulous aliments. , ? i ..ii- credu It contains sugar, gum, and most of the ah js mentary principles of vegetables, and fioe Tjew malic acid, which makes it slightly refrigei- j j ant. My dear Mr. EJitor, we trust that you like milk and peaches. With such a di>h jjniu upon the table, and a hotileof their favorite ?ar<j nectar, wouhl it insult thegods to he invited plWj* to take d esse it with you? Il it he true that u ^ ( no man is a gentleman who does not like ' ii 1/ -iv- in no apple dumplin, (as was once said,) is it not ^ true that he puts his title in jeopardy who j " J>J turns away in disgust from milk and peaches! But there are vaiious modes of preparation, and without assuming to settle the question which we have suggested, we j jj,, , will v. nlure the assertion that he is not Iiii- ,, man who cares not for tlie peach in anv ,i V form whatever. Why, sir, call to mind j'j^ " stewed peaches, pieserved peaches, dried ju peaches, brandy peaches, <fcc., &c. trans A very general prejudice exist# against will a the use of all fruit# during the prevalence of any n cholera and dysenteric affections, and at And such limes it is very common for the civil Hpp|j, authorities to interdict their sale. \N e be- tious lieve that it is nothing but a prejudice; Hint |y xvj the moderate use of ripe fruit is as safe a uncer diet as any other under such circumstances. n, U|, For proof of our opinion wo point to t!io J |ic j liistory of cholera. In no other part of the dii* , world line this terrible disease committed cousi, more dreadful ravages than in the north of x Europe, and this too at a season when fruits assert were not to he procured. The truth is that when we know not dug of the nature of the inllu- State: ences which produce cholera, or any other a woi epidemic, and the indiscriminate war which thee; has been made upon all fruits, whether iipe die j, or unripe, whether eaten in moderation or .-roni in excess, and in many case# upon vegeia- die e; Lie diet generally, is wholly unsupported hy spun the great body of facts before us. Had die y fruits, like any other Lad ailiclu of di<t, of a c inust be avoided, but this is no snllicicnt most reason for their wholesale condemnation. iu, n Perhaps we have said enough in favor of peach the cultuio of fruits, on the ground of their die 0, agieeablencss and heahhfulness u ,vi article met I ~ or diet, bnt something mote is believed ne- enabl ce.-sary to awaken the people of this section peach of the country to the importance of the sub whicl ject; and we propose to recur to the peach , hei r particularly, as we think it is peculiarly fruits adapted to our latitude. We believe that die ft the time is not far distant when th's do- ! H,?ain liglilful fruit will constitute a considerable enpti item of export from the South; and when : die tr the products of our industry in this purlieu- | re,j I :ii i-_ ? - t i - * -* mi nni l?o esuninieu i>y iens < ! inousnnu*, i i|lM |, if wo <lo half of our duty. It is true ili.it t|lCn we have but n few facts in justification of js j|,e this opinion, but they are sinking in th?*ii earth, character, and, to our minds, altogether con- t|ie g elusive. The exhibition of fruits before a ,UI<J a Committee of the State Agricultural Society fHC0 a at Columbia is of itself highly satisfactory. J An Hero wo pco peaches of the choicest varie- matte ties sent fioin various neighborhoods in tiio , genet middlo countiy of our Stale, and which, we somet hesituto not to say, will compare favorably ,,f the with any peaches in the world. This shows prodn wlmt can be done. The soil and cliinatc otir v which will grow a few peaches in the high- moie est perfection, will produce them by the ten thousand bushels if proper attention be quinc given. Several thousand dollars have been 1 claim* realized this season from peach orchards in n|,p|c, tho vicinity of Columbia. We know one higlie gentleman who sold over five hundred dul- i|lcr r lar.V worth in the streets of that town.

Among ilio exotic plniils recently intro- | |jn (Iuceil into this country by the Patent Of- j Hce, in the prosecution of its "agricultural ^ operation*," is tho "Ohineso sugar cane," or "sorghosucre,'n (sorghum saccha rata ni.)
