" Let idle Ambition her baubles pursue, While Wisdom looks down with diami, The home of the farmer has charms ever new, Where health, peace and competence reign. 0- Tnz careful attention of our readers is respectfully directed to the excellent and very interesting letter of Col. A. G. SuxMER, of Newberry District, on the utilty and im portance of the formation of a State Agri cultural Society. We sincerely hope Col. S. will let us hear from him again on this new enterprise, and never ceasein his praise worthy exertions until the project is fairly underway. (J OUR thanks tor W. N.

We trust he may be spared many years to cultitate right, and that the nick of time will not prevent him from raising many more crops of the same sort. CORN. THE prospect for a general good corn crop has seldom been better; and, if we escape a drought in this month, we may well calculate on hog and hominy in abundance next Christ mas. Old corn is now selling at. a dollar per bushel, and on the decline. COTTON. Tars crop is rather grassy and inferior, ande have got many hard licks to strike -yet before we can crow. There are too many casualties ahead for us to make any correct calculations as to the result. HORTICULTURE. Sow. celery seed for the main crop to be transplanted in August. If you wish a late or fall garden sow cabbage, brocoli, cauli flower, gnd if you have plants, transplant them. Sow Ruta-bega turnips early this month, and other turnips last of the month.

From the South Carolinian. THlE STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. To Dr. Jo/hn P. Barrat, Gen. James Gilam Capt. Thomas Byrd. GzN-rn.EME: It was with -a great deal of Satisfaction that I observed in the Edgefield Advertiser, Captain Byrd's -communication on the subject of a proposed State Agricul turalSociety. I wished then to. give all the aid. ind countenance I could to the project .bat having before me the recollection of a signal failure, in which I was associated, in December, 1853, whed a meeting was-called in 'the Capitol for a similar purpose, I thought it perhaps.prudent for'me to remain silent until the matter acquired some tangi ble shape. The newspapers of the State have generally given this great work the aid of a paragrap'h, which, without other as sistance, amonaits to comfg$ about enough to kill it. Sonme, indeed, have devoted to the subject careful thought, and the argu ments in their articles in its favor wvill here. after become the foundation. stones upon which the future structure wvill rest. Now, gentlemeu, since you have made a -public tall upon all who shoid put their shoulders to the wheel, I fancy no one who feels an interest should rem-Ain .silect, and hence shall troub~le you with the perusal of my crude notions on the subiect. - You have truly said that the hour has come for action in this matter. South Car. olina-is not even stationary in her industrial pursuits. She is actually, and rapidly, re trograding. Hier old fields are enlarging, hier homesteads are decreasing in numbers, her factories are standing idle, or languish ing for want of home patronage, her stock is Adwindling into ghostly anatomies of vital semblance, and her sons of energy are seek ing the more remunerating, hence more gen. lal, fields of the Southwest, Opon which in dustry smiles by the 'swent of the face of. labor. Nor are- we alone losing white pop ulation-slave population, the true wealth of the State, will soon become' stationary, in point of increase, within her borders, by the colonization and odeupation of the rich planting lands .of those favored regions. Should this bei Is old South Carolina still to furnish the elements of mind and labor to to the fruitful fofest lands, ihi which now the spirit of the wilderness reigns? It is true our soil is poor-poor and. infertile-from that careless system of indjfference. which aused oifr people to contemplate its gradual and certain deterioration, with no foresight for their future-:-thich is our now. That glorious West, .with soil as deep as its ex tent of acres was broad, stretched out, in valley and prairie, many thousand hands to bid them welcome.- Sylvan retreats induced expatriation, and the ties-of father-land,- of kindred-and of hallowed. association, were. ast as sacrifices -upon the altar of Mammon. We have .had enough of -this ipour-State. We must no longer enceurage the-departure of ihe flower of our land; but by developing a spirit of improvement, and thereby in. reasing attachment to our -homes, make the sons of Caroliria proud to linger and to labor upon their natal soil. Howv important in this great work would, be the workings of a State Agricultural Society ! .1t would give a successful impulse to this spirit of improve ment, and the easy and accessible routes of public travel would imptress all persons visi ting its annual fairs with the advantages which we enjoy over many sections bos ting of richer and more productive soil. As long as our people consider that other see tions of the country possess greater natural advantages than they do, they will'contin e restless and dissatisfied. This feeling of dissatisfactionl is incompatible with a spirit p improvement, for men will not bestow time and labor upon the preservation of land whih-they expect to abandon. Anxiety to moe-oven if it be, like the terrapin, with - A all his wealth upon his back-becomes the predominant feeling, and the good work I stands still. It should be our province to convince the people of the State that all our lands are valuable and desirable, and if we do this the work of improvement will then i manifest itself. Are not all the lands in middle and upper South Carolina valuable I Compare their enhanced price with former 1 valpation, look at the comforts enjoyed by our citizens, where they have health, pure I air, crystal water-and contrast these with the bayou, mosquitoes, cholera and yellow i fever, which scourge the Southwest., Look, too, at the facility with which the rapidly t multiplying lines of railroads here convey o the products of the soil to market-and 1 think of some of our old friends out.West, who, because their magnjicent rivers donut happen " to rise," suffer for the business, and even the common necessaries of living. Are not all these things worthy to be weigh ed in the balance of life I When life, too, is so short, and its rational pleasures at best, and under the- most favorable circumstances, may be comparedto a cup. of bitter waters, I sweetened with but few indulgencies and I little satisfaction. Here, where every man a is near to the highways of the world-where business or pleasure finds an easy transit to I distant points-where honesty is still respec- I ted and virtue admired, revered-and cherish. 1 ed-here, say we, is the land in which to t build and beautify homes-here to cherish those we love-here to do one's part in the I brunt of life's ever active battle-here to lay our bones beside the honored graves of our I fathers. Yes, gentlemen, we believe that the insti tution you propose, will in a great measure controvert the evils an injuries done to the State, from the causes adverted to above; but, to do this successfully, requires great energy, labor and foresight. Our old State Agricultural Society was ridden to death, in connection with aspirations for office. Poor old horse-and rider too-may you rest in peace. We have no purpose which the resurrection of your now almost forgotten existence would serve. It was a gas socie ty, which-like all existences of allotted pe riods-lived its time, and was no more. The objects of a State Agricultural Socie ty should be of a higher aim than to elevate any one connected with it-save in the legi timate pursuit of an industrial calling. To merely benefit the recipients of premiums, is not alone the object for which such re wards are offered. The premium is only the active agent which puts vitality into ex ertion, and inducing competition-thus ele vates the mass of observers to the same per. fection in theory and principle, which the successful exhibitor has attained and devel. oped to the satisfaction of the society. Its influence does not stop here-but observers take home the lessons which their eyes have stored up, and conversations and discussions will follow, setting inquiry on foot, and bene fitting ultimately scot es who never visit such rural jubilees. Here the best breeds of animals can be in spected, and the proper selections made, without running the' risk of a venture which. might h~e unsuited to our climate and modes of feeding. Trhe most valuable and best adapted grains and vegetable products, with the *most successful and economical modes of culture, wvould be before the eye of thosei who wished improvement in this line. The exhibition of the domestic and manufacturedi fabrics of the State, would give lessons tor the different sections, which could not fail in being profitable. The neat handiwork of( tie fair sex, always gracing such exhibitions, like the light clouds which veil heaven from our gaze, are great exemplars, and the tasty patterns are speedily disseminated into the most remote hamlets anid rural homes. The arts in taste, mechanics, and every class of 1 ennobling toil; will bring their useful spei-it mna, and labor-saving implements and ma chinery will be ready to aid the toiler to en- I large his operations with remunerating in. luence. Not to such things alone do wvec look for all the improvemet-but a society properly regulated, soon disseminates a mass f valuable information, which will be relia- li ble texts upon whieli *to predicate future I action. The genial intercourse between all I parts of the State-the instructive interchange of opinions upon all matters of industrial improrement and progress-would alone I sompensate for erection of the proposed as sociation, independently of the solid advan- I tages wvhich would accrue to those who went into it, in order to benefit the country, wlilst they inform themuselves. Trhe management, details and arrange nent of raising the means, proper location, and other incidentals, .are important matters to be looked into; but I would extend the limits of this comunication too far, were I to give you my particular views upon these things. My whole heart and exertions shall be with you, and I hope to see the true Sbone and sinew" of the State in the Capi-. tol, on the second Wednesday of August next. Let the people from every nook and orner send up delegates, and where none are appointed, let public-spirited men " come ip on their own hook." Every man' counts one in this work, and all. will be wvelcomed in the spirit of brotherhood. With mny best wishes for your success, I am, very sincerely, A. G. SUM MIER. RAVExsCaorr, S. C., June 20, 1855. THlE UsE OF SNow.-The past severe winter in its effect on plant., has furnished some striking proofs of the protection affor ded by snow. Several specimens of the tree box, some of- them seven or eight feet high, are as brown as dead grass above the snow line,' while all below is as green as emerald.' The Japan Quince, usually re garded as very hardy, although not destroy. ad by the extreme cold, was so injured and checked in its gowth, that while the flowers below the snowv are an inch .and a half in diameter, and in dense and brilliant clusters, the exposed portion of the shrub is thinly rurnished with pale red or pink flowers, not one-ffth the size of the former. T'he only blossoms of-'the peach that have appeared, have been a few that weore cover ad by snow drifts; and the strong contrast in the color of the wvood of the trees, where exposed or protected, ha~s been sufficient to how the precise depth of the snow in any part of ojir peach orchards. ' ~Observations madeat tlie Royal Gardens at Kew, in Eng land, (where the winter has also been very evere,) showed a difference of nineteen de grees immediately above and below the snow. -Country 'Gentleman, May 31. Fow.s.-T'he Ohio Farmer says, as the manure of the hen house -is the best for on ions, so onions, chdpped fine and mixed with - Indian meal, is occasionally the best food for I hickens. It should be given once or twice a week, and will pr'event gapes and all kinds of inflammation of the throat and eyes. WEvr..-These' troublesome pelits may be kept out of grain by using salt. Sprinkle a little fine salt oni the botton and airound the sides of the bin as you fill up, and19ver the top vhen full. Wheat kept in- old salt bar rls will never be estroyed by the weevil. HEADING CABBAGE.-I have been trou. led- much at times with. the untowardhesa >n the part of my cabbages, and cauliflow ,rs.as well as broccoli, to form their appro >riate heads. Conversing on the subject iome two or three years ago with a friend, n Horticulture, he informed me that some ne of much practical experience in the rais ng of such vegetables, told -him, that the way to insure their beading was to transplant hem twice, the second transplanting to take )lace at a moderate interval of time after he first. The very next year another friend, who had been bringing forward many ordin. try garden vegetables in a hot bed, sent me t number of well-grown plants both of cau iflowers and cabbages when those I had alanted had scarcely been above ground. kt the time I received them, I had not pre )ared the ground destined for the reception >f such vegetables, and was too busy with ether things to do so forthwith. I according y struck the end of a hoe-blade into a soft well prepared border, and turning the handle town so as to leave a sufficient cavity, put he cabbages in; in a bunch as I received hem. I did the same with the cauliflowers, nd then left them to their fate. About ten lays or a fortnight afterwards, having got he proper spot of ground prepared, and inding my plants, thus rudely transplanted )efore, looking thrifty, I took them up and -eset them properly in their destined bed. as for the result I can only say, that I never >efore had any of either race that headed so well and so uniformly as did these.-Caro ina Cultivator. LAYING OUT SURFACES.-Lay out an acre n a circle.-First fix a centre, and with a -ope as a radius, seven rods, three links and ree-eighths long, one end attached to the entre and kept uniformly stretched, the weep of it at the other end will lay out the cre. For one-quarter of an acre, a rote three nd fourteen links will be the right length. For one-eighth of an acre, a rope two rods nd thirteen links will be enough. Triangles.-If you wish a triangle to con ain just an acre, make each side nineteen ods, ive and a half links long. A triangle whose. sides are six rods and wenty links long each, will contain one ighth of an acre. To lay out an Ellipse or Oval.-Set three takes in a triangular position. Around hese stretch a rope. Take away the stake t the apex of the triangle, which will be vhere the side of the oval is to come-move he stock along the rope, keeping it tight, nd it will trace out the oval. A square, to contain an acre, or just one undred and sixty roes, should have each of ts sides just twelve rods, ten feet and seven enths long.-Carolina Cultivator. CADnAGES FOR Cows.-The editor of the tgricultural .Gazette (Eng.) estimates one cre of cabbages to be worth three acres of f turnips for cows. He recommends sow g seeds in beds, either in autumn or spring, ,nd transplanting toward the end of May, at be race of 8000 plants to the ac~re. One sound of seed will produce about 2400 lants.-Country Gentleman. To PREvENT Bors INr HOitsEs.-A per. on of much experience in veterinary science Snever troubled with this disease in horses. Iis simple practice during the fall months s to keep a greasy cloth in the stable, and ub with it such parts of the-animal as may ave been attacked by the nitfly. Grease estroys and prevents the eggs from hatching. HoRsE PRovENDR.-rhelieSt horse pro. ender, says the Maine Farmer, that we ever sed, was a mixture of twto-thirds oat meal nd one-third corn meal. The oat meal has' een thought by some physiological chemists o contain much muscle and flesh forming natter, and the corn meal to contain much at forming material; and therefore, when ombined together, we get both principles ombined. TirE Tamarind has been grown in Vir ~inia froni seeds, and is highly spoken of as romising to be a valuable acquisition to our ruit trees, especially on the prairie lands of he West. Its growth is rapid, its appear. ,nee very ornamental, and it is pierfectly free rom blight and from the depredations of in. ets. Last season the..trees in Virginia roduced fruit as good as the imported. T HE Nuw c -AYO IsLAND.-Referring to lhe report of the discovery of a new guano iland by .4mericans, the Journal of Comn nerce says: '[le Island above referred to is represen ed to have been originally depressed in the entre, and higher near the shore ; on which ecount there exists on the borders of wvhat supposed to have formerly been a very hallow lagoon, large quantities of pure salts f ammonia, and the guano in that vicinity imilar to some cargoes brought into this ountry some years since from Watchman's ;ape, wvhich is said tQ haye contained be ween thirty and forty per cent. of ammonia, .nd from which there were taken a number >f barrels of pure crystalized ammonia. Cnowing more of the circumstances connec ed with the discovery of this Island than it vill be expedient to discovery of this [sland han it will be expedient to disclose at pre ent, we will only add that if the re-pres. ations wich have been made concerning it hail turn out to be true, the most sanguine xpectations will be exceeded by the reality.

A PURE & UNADULTERATED ARTICLE, FOR DISEASES OF THE LIVER, AID 20 PRIT. !ER 31300 THIS SARSAPARILLA is made of the Sarsa parilla which grows in the Southern States and nothing else. It has the natural Sarsaparilla taste. Its effect upon the system in all 'ases In which Sar saparilla is indicated is wonderful.. It is a great safeguard against diseases arising from a torpid state of the Liver, or impure state of the Blood. Generally, it acts upon- the Bowels as a mild pur gative or laxative. It not only mildly moves the. Bowels, but gives tone to the system by restoring a healthy action in the Liver, and by freeing the blood from its impurities. For children it is a great -preventive of worms and supereedes the necessity of giving them so much worm medicine; at the same time it improves their general health. A better and more useful medicine cannot be in troduced into Edgefield District, either for profes sional or family use, than the Georgia Sarsaper lla.
