THE DTIES OF AN OVERSEER. Mouwrais CaaEK; June 5th, 1856. Masss EDITon:-As I have been work ing in the harness as an Overseer for some time, and as I anticipate quitting the profes sion-for the purpose of going to Kansas to fight the infernal Abolitionists, if necessary, ,and if not to try something that is more proitable than overseeing, I have concluded to give my views to my Bother Overseers upon the duties of an Overseer, which they can take for what they are worth. It is here supposed that the Overseer is not immediately under. his employers eye, but is eft for days or weeks, perhaps months, to the exercise of his own judgment in the management of the plantation. To him wo would say bear in mind, that you have opgaged for a stated 'sum of money, to de. vote your time and energies for an entire year to one object, to carry out the orders of your employer strictly and cheerfully, and to the best of your ability, and in all things to study his interests. This requires . something more than your mere presence upon the plantation, and that at such times as suits your own pleasure and conveniency. On entering upon your duties inform yourself thouroughly of the condition of the plants. tion, negroes, stock, implements, &c. Learn the views of your employer as to the gen. eral course of management he wishes pur. sued, and make up your mind to carry out those..views fully as far as in your power. If any objections occur to you, state them distinctly that. they may be yielded to or svereome. Endeavour to take the same interest in everything upon the place as if it were your own-indeed, the responsibility is greater than if it were all your own, hav. - ing been entrusted to you by another. Un. less you feel 'thus it is impossible that you can do your employer justice. The heslth of the negroes under your charge is an important matter. Much of the usual sickness among them is tlfe result of carelessness and-mismagagement. Over. -.worked or badly cooked food, and night rambles are all fruitful causes of disease. W~ell cooked food, including a plenty of vegetables, should be supplied to them at regular hours; that the sick be cheered.and ~eneouraged, and some extra comforts allow. ed them, and the convalescent not exposed ; - hat pregnesnt women be particular-eared for - d~in a greatnieasure exempted from labor, and certainly from exposure and undue ex ertion for some time before confluement; and that while nursing they bie kept as near the nursery as possible, but at no time al lowed to suckle their children when over heated; that the infant be nursed three times during the day in addition to the morning a gd evening, until eight months old whon twice a day may sutlice; that no whiskey be allowed upon the place at any time or under any circumstances; but that they have whilst beated'and at work plenty good cool water; that care be taken to prevent the hands~from earying thei: liaskets full cl cotton on their heads-a most injurous re tice--and, in short, by usitng sucb means for their comfort as every judicious humiane mant will readily think of -yotf will iad the amount of sickness greatly diinished. Next to the negroes the stock on the place will require your constatr attentiun. It is a part of the duty in which Overseers are generally most careless. The horse anid mule stock are first in importance- unless - these are kept in good order it is impossible that the work can go on smoothly or your crop be properly tended. Put your stabmles and lot in good order and keep thetm under *lock; and bave thenm littered amnd cleaned out at proper intervals; to attend to sick or mamed animals, to see that the gears are always hung in their proper place, kept in good order, and so on. It is an easy matter to keep horses or mules fat with a full and open cornerib and abundance of fodder, but that.Overseer shows his good management, .who can keep his teams fat at the leaat ex pens. ofecorn and fodder. Hogs are generally sadly mismanaged. Too many are kept and kept badly. .One good brood sow for every Sive hands. on a place is amply suffi cient-indeed, more pork will be cured from these than from a gre.iter number. Trhe implements and tools require a Good deal of looking after. By keeping a memorandum of the distribution of any set of'tools, they will be much more likely to be forth coming at thse end of each month. Axes, hoes and ; other. small tools, of which every hand has his own, should have his number marked upon it with a steel punch. The strict eui forcement of one single rule will keep every thing strait-"have a place for everything, and see that everything is in its place." Of the provision crops there is Thost com inonly enough made upon most plantations -for their own supply. Rar~ely Low'ever is it saved without great and inexcusable waste ad fed out without still greater. And this, to their lasting shame be it said, is too often .the ease to a disgraceful exttnt when an Overseer feela satisfied that he will not re "malinanother year upon the place. ,His - onduct should be the very opposite of this. It is indispensable that'you 'exercise judg ment aid housideration in tfie management of the negroes under your charge. Be lirm and stth.sies time gentle in your contro)l. -Never dliplaj yourself before them in a 7 -- passion ;. and. even in inflicting the severest punishment do so in a mild cool manner, and it will produce a ienfoljeffect. When you find it. necessary -to use the whip, (and desirable as it would be to dispense with it entirely it. is.. necessary at'times) apply it slowly and deliberately, and to the extent you are determined in your own mind to be needful before you begin. The indiscrini nate, constant and excessive use of the whip is altogether unnecessary and inexcusable, When it can be done without a too great lo~of timno the stocks offer a means ol pu nishment greatly to be preferred. Never threaten a negro, but if you have occasion to punish do it at once or say nothing until ready to do so. A violent and passionate threat will often scare the best disposed ne. gro to the woo4s. Always keep your word with them in punishments as well as rewards Never forgive that in one that you would punish in another, but treat all alike, show ing no favouritism. Never be induced by a course of good behaviour on the part of -the negroes to relix the strictness of your dis. cipline, but when you have, by judicious management, brought them to that state keef them so by the same means. The only way to keep a negro honest is - not to trust him. I his seams a harsh assertion but it is unfor tunately too true. In conclusion, bear in mind that a fine crop consists, first, in an increase in the number and a marked improvement in the condition and value of the negroes; second, an abundance of provision of all sorts for marl and beast, carefully saved and properly housed; third, both summer and winter clothing made at home, also leather tanned and shoes and harness made when practica ble; fourth, an improvemept in the produc. tive qualities of the land and in the general condition of the plantation; fifth, the team and stock generally, with the farmniqg imple. ments and the buildings in fine order at the close of the year; and young hogs more than enough for next year's killing; then- as heavy a crop of cotton as could possibly be made under the circumstaices, sent go market in good season and of prime quality. The time has passed when the Overseer was valued solely for the number of bales of cotton he had made without reference to his other qualifications. GEORGIA OVERSEER. TO MIKE PURE WINE OF APPLES. Being aware that much wine sold for genuine champaigne was manufactured froffi cider, we informed a correspondent a short time sine of this fact in answer to his inqui ry. The following letter was elicited by the reading of the answer referred: MtESSRS. EDros.--I am well aware that imitation winmes are now extensively made in the State of New Jersey from the juice-el the apple, and more from Harrison apples than from any other variety, and the most of it is made at Newark. Those knowin2 ones are correct with regard to its being a mixture of poisonous drugs not- fit for the human stomach. - Having been in the horticultural business for over forty years I have had an eve sin. gle to those spurious wines from the juice of the apple. It is gradtfying to me to. think that when you come to taste and test my wine-whsici I send you accompanying tilis letter-you will find a wine, a rsre article, free from all drugs, and not an imitation. The sample I send you is eighteen'months old, and mude after the followinig process. Take pure cider made from sound ripe apples as it runis from the press. Put 60 pounds of common brown sugar into 15 gallons of the'cider and let it dissolve, then put the mixture into a clean barrel, and fill the barrel up to within two gallons of being full wvith clean cider; put the cask in a cool place, leaving the hung out for 48 hours, then put in the hung. with a small vent, un til fermentation wholly ceases, and lhung uj' tight, and in one year the wine will be fit for use. This wvine requires no racking, the longer it stands upon the less the better. - 8-rERNE BavNsos. Elhart, Ind., A pril, 1856,. It will be observed that our correspondeni has, for the benefit of all concerned, describ.' ed the method of making pure cide~r wine and it is for us to-say something regarding the sample he sent us. It is a gy~d cidem wine, the best we ever tasted. If ii had any fault, it consisted in being a very little tot. sweet. This can be remedied by using less sugar than the above named amount. A harrel of cider contains 31 gallonis. WVine from currants can be made in the sarm manner exactly.-Seientific A mcrican. G UAso.-" Have'you used guano, pou, drette, tafeu, and with what results?" We have used guano with good results and when finel~y ground and treated witih dilute sulphuric acid and then mixed with carcoal dust or the divisore described imt the early part of this article, it is a 'gool manure, and only surpassed by the additiom which convert .it into the Nitrogenized anmd Improved Super-phosphates of Lime, whiet may he done thus :-For the Improved Su. per. phosphate, dissolve 100 lbs. caleined bones ini 56 lbs. of sulphuric acid, add tc this 36 lbs. of Peruvian Guano and 20 lbs sulphat'e of ammonis, and it is worth, pound for pound, more than any guano yet sent to this country. For the Nitrogenized Su. per-phosphate, add to 100 lbs. of the Im proved an equal amount of dried blood, and you have a manure surpassing all-others am a general manure, and more likely to act better on all soils, than any other concentra. ted fertilizer As to produce and tafeu, we would say that human feces, when mixed with the divisore before referred to, are among the best of manures, as the food of man con. tains all the constituents that plants require, and in the proportion in which they exist iin plants. But is this mixture fairly represen, ted by the pondrette usually offerevd for sale, and if so, should the farmer pny freight cooperage, cartage etc., for long distances on such a bulky article asdeeomnposed muck 1 If he can procure night-soil from the privies of the towns and mixtit with muek at home, he can have no better manure, hut the bulky portion, the muck, should not be carted from a distance, nor subject to a heavy freight.

When a grape vine is fiest procured from. th nursery in sprisg, it is -usually furnishe with several irregular shoots of the previou suminer's growth. These should be a closely pruned to the older wood, leavin only the strongest, and this should he c back so as to leave but two or three buds these buds will grow, and, when nily a l'e inches in length, the strongest shoot mu he selected, aid the others rubbed off. Thi single shoot is allowed to grow until abot the first of a*mn.

SOWING TURNIps.-Do not forget thi about the last of July or forepart of Augui is a good time to sow a patch of commn turnips. The soil for turnips should b moist, rich and mellow. Ground whei corn has failed, or stands too thin will at swer, if clear of weeds and well stirred. C a piece of clean -wheat stubble may b ploughed for the purpose; also patehes i the garden where peas or early potato( have been harvested. Turnip seed is pler ty and cheap in most stores where seeds at sold. It is best to buy enough at once t re-sow with in case dry weather or the il ihould destroy the first sowing. The see< if fresh, will keep good for three or fa years. FaUIr T HEEs.-Nearly all fruit trees ar at their trunks or among their branche! affected with moss, lice, and various kind of insects. These can be effectually cleare away by a wash of ley, made from pota. or wood ashes, of a strength sufficient t hear up an egg. It will kill every noxiot thing, and will not hurt the bark. A pou of potash to a pailful. of water will make sufficiently strong. BURYING BEEs.-Enoch E. Kalb, Lovettsville, Va., states that, having a swari of bees last fall which had no honey, an not knowing if they would live over winti he buried them air-tight on the warm side a hill, in a case sufficient to keep all dam ness out, and, as soon as he uncovered thei this spring they were full of life atd vigo and instantly went to work, and are sti wvorking finely.
