that it is presumptuous, and too much to
believer that tshe has already taught us
ijie very best means and left ns nothing
to learn. All farming knowledge, valaa
ble as it is, was once theory : and only
becomepractical from experiment; and
familiar from traditionary experience.
But how is this knowledge to be taught ?
By introducing the study of agricultural
science into our systems of education ;
into our schools, academies and collhges
and by making our people conversant

about whenever the proper means are
resorted to. One reformed drunkard
going about telling the people the rocks
upon which he had split, and the means
by which he was at last saved, has ex
ercised a salutary influence over thou
sands. Let some reformed fat mer do
the same, towardseffectine an aga iculbu
ral reform,- and the same measure of
success will crown the effort.
But, however much agricultural sur
veys will do towairds advancing our ag
ricultural wants will do still more. Take
an ins'ance. A few years since, thi1
Citarleston vegetable market was the
most miserable in the Union : because
its citizens were not a vegetable using
people. A new population w;thm new
wants has grown op, and behold the
consequence. The Charleston veeta- .
ble-market has become one of the best
supplied in the Union; a large amount
of capital is employed in (arming for I
that purpose ; and fully $100,000 is an
nually derived from this source of labor.
A large domestic trade is thus put in
motion, and not only this, Charleston,
like some of her Northern Sisters, is
beginning to carry on an r'port trade
in several iinds of vegetables ; and the
Northern cities are now then annual
purchasers of sotme thousand of dollars
of-he I:albot s of our Charleston farmers.

The qustion is asked at each step in
the invasion of Mexico-what have we
gained I And the most decisive achliev

questioners more than ever coiivjnced
that it is 'ery hard to give a satisfactory
answie. The intelligent correspon%

following picoire of the State of our con,
