MESSRS. COLTER & SCOOTER, Editors. "Let idle Ambition her baubles pursue, While Wisdom looks down with disdain, The home of the farmer has charms ever new, Where health, peace and competence reign." FINE FLOUR. We have received a fine specimenof flour from the mill of G. M. WEVEn, on Shaw's Creek. Those who want a good article and good turn-out can get it at this mill. RIDGE CROPS. WE strolled down the Columbia Road a week or so since to see the prospect for crops. As we expected to see something fine, we were not disappointed of course. MR. H. J's cotton had a little too much grass and rain.-Messrs. L's cotton and corn pretty good, and must have had a large crop of wheat judging from the acres sown. PETER LNDSAY'S crop is decidedly the best in that locality. Mr. B's crop of cotton and corn though good, is not so good as last year, but clean and well cultivated. Dr. R's, cotton is decidedly good, clean, well nursed and presents a decidedly healthy and fruitful appearance-expects to make some corn also-Dr. K's prospect not so encouraging, distressingly healthy; but he studies. . Mr. McC's crop shows work and its accompa ning reward of fine cotton and shocks of grain, provided it rains. WIDOW C's and Uncle Jixur's are as good as the land will allow. C. W's crops in keeping with the rest-good and encouraging-his flock of Cashmeres was the best we saw. Mr. L. W's was well cultivated and. clean and in fine growing condition. Mrs. M. W's plan tation was a beautiful prospect of both cot ton and corn, her watermellons sample de liciously. The next plantation was that of a life member of the State Agricul'ural So ciety and of course it was the best of all. His spacious and level fields of cotton were illumine with the blossoms both white and red of the short staple. The aroma of his corn tassels gives promise of an abundant harvest of autumn shocks and a big corn shkin i1g. Being satisfied with our jaunt, we put back for our sanctum, firmly persuaded that the old Advertiser w~ill make all the lands richer and richer. For the Advertiser. MR. EDITOR :-In the agricultural depart naent of last Week's " Advertiser" is a para graph uder the caption " Reports of large Crops," in which there is an appeal to the author in common with others of your cor-. respondents. From the very flattering description given of my prospects on a former occasion, it is but reasonable to suppose that I should have reported progress before this, My neighbours admit that I am a good Winter and Spring farmer, but the general impression is, that I atop short in the Summer. I acknowledge that I failed to give my last years crop the finishing touch and consequently was unable to report as many bales of cotton, and bushels of corn to the hand as some of the competitors for the Colonel's Watch; but I made an abundance of forage, the proof of which is I did not lose a single cow du. ring the last Winter, which will long be re membered for its unparalleled severity ; and which is probably more than can be said by many of the reporters of the mamoth crops. I certainly was more fortunate than my friend who has a plantation on the Co lumbia Road, and who I am creditably in formed had nine fresh hides thrown a cross the pole the same day! Leather certainly will fall I am glad the Watch, has not yet been awarded for I am in the ring for it this year. I have planted my entire crop of cot ton with Boyd's prolific seed. In the way of corn I have the old gourd seed, the Me. Dowel shoe peg, the Baden, the Rare ripe, the Doorab, and the Wyondot ; and I had nearly forgot to mention that I have a beau tiful lot planted with the Strawvberry variety -and take this occasion to notify my par ticular friends that by early application they shall have a limited supply for seed at a dol lar a bushel. I have a fine Flag of Truce mare which will compare favourably with the Morgan stock. My Durham calves are looking fine, I have some beautiful Suffolk pigs and any number of poultry from the Cochin China dowvn to the little white Bantern,all of which shall have a showing at our District Fair which is to come off next November. As to " our change of diggins" that de pends entirely upon circumstances. I have recently discovered some beautiful speci mens of quarts of the Honey comb struc ture, which by the aid of my little Lens give a beautiful exhibition of the precious metal. Indstead of a change of diggings I may go to diging change. I dont know but Ihave done enough for my immediate section, in an agricultural point of view, and that for the future my energies may be directed towards developing Its mineral resources, wvhich are doubtless very abundant. I merely allude to the above topics now, but promise at no distant day to give you a full detail of the same. Your old friend CLOD HOPPER. REMARKS-We should like to have a few more such " Clod Hoppers" left of the same sort, to develope the resources of Old Edgefield. So much for subsoiling. Our correspond ents by following our advice, as to subsoil ing, has indeed struck a vein of gold, and who know.- but that, after his gold mine is exhausted, he may hit upon a bed of dia. monds instead of quartz. There is nothing like digging deep or a change of diggins. We shall be glad to have him report often. EDS. VINEYARDS IN THE SOUTH-MR. AIT'S VIE11 OF CRAPE CULTURE, ETC. IT is probably well known to most ol our readers, (says the Southern Cultivator, that Mr. Charles A xt, now of Crawfordville Ga., has been chiefly instrumental in awak ing among us an interest in the culture o the Grape for Wine Making; and that, sc far, his efforts in various parts of Georg4i and the adjoining States, have been attende with marked success. A brief statement ol his views (as set forth by him during a re cent conversation with us on this most inter, esting subject,) may not, therefore, be unac. ceptable to our readers: MR. AXT ON VINE CULTURE. Healthfulness of the Grape.-The Grape is universally admitted to be one of the healthiest of all fruits, as it is among the most delicious. It was one of the first fruiti that claimed the attention of man, and ha: never failed to return a rich and abundan reward for the care bestowed upon it. The fruit of the vine is cooling and refreshing and has a very salutary effect upon the system-being both nutritious and medicinal it attenuates the blood, and gives it a fret circulation-delighting the young and reno. vating the old. Taken freely it is diuretic and gently laxative. It has often provec effectual in severe cases of dysentery, ever curing whole armies. In inflammatory dis eases, it allays thirst and reduces tho heal of the system. It is, also, of the greatesl use in phthisical and pulmonary diseases, o where there is any 'difficulty in breathing Dried Grapes, or Raisins, are good for th< dessert, and in various ways of cooking, anc are used extensively throughout the civilizec world. There is no reason why they shouk not be made in vast quantities and in the greatest perfection, in the Southern States Natural Wine--its Domestic use-Pro. otion of Temperance and Sobriety.-Natu. ral Wine is the pure fermented juice of the Grape, entirely free from any admixture ol sugar or alcoholic spirits. Wherever these are added, the result is a " made wine," cor dial or syrup-not a pure and true wine Nearly all foreign or imported wines are badly adulterated, and most of them unfil to drink. Many of them, in addition tc sugar or spirits, contain decoctions of drug highly deleterious to health-as any persor can determine for himself by the disagreea ble after-effects of a free indulgence in then at a dinner party or over night. Pure and atural wine, on the contrary, when drank in moderation, produces only a slight exhil. eration and buoyancy of spirits; it is tonic and strengthening and is followed by nc nausea, head-ache or confusion of ideas Where such wine is used habitually in i amily, and the children have free access tc it, they grow up sober and temperate, as ih abundantly proved by the statistics and statements of travellers in all wvine-producing countries. Where pure wine can bo hat abundantly and cheaply, there is no tasti so denraved as to indulge in fiery alcoholic spirits as a beverage, and, therefore, drunk enness, with all its attendant horrors anc rimes, is almost unknown in wine countries All lovers of temperance, of good morals of virtue, lawv and order, should, therefort encourage the culture of the Grape and the making of a pure and healthy natural wine Advantages in Vine Culture pssessed b3 the South over all other Countrice.-The South possesses great and decided advanta ges in Grape'growving, over either Europ' or the Western States. In the latter coun tries, the Grape is very fastidious in it: choice of soil and exposure-thriving onl2 upon warm, porous, deeply-trenohed ant well drained hill-sides, facing the sun. Ii these countries, tho first cost of land suita. ble for the Grape is often from $100 t< 400 per acre. In the South, where th< Grape flourishes on almost any soil or ex posure, land can be bought from $3 to $1( per acre. In Europe and at the WVest, ow ing to the defects of climate and cold natur' of the soil, the preparation of land for Vine yards, (such as trenching, terracing, walling &c.) cost from $50 to $200 per acre; whih' in the more genial climate of the South, ha2 the use of the subsoil and deep-turninig plow followed by the spade or shovel, we cal prepare land for Vineyards at a cost of $4( per acre, or even less. Early Bearing and Maturity, at the South --At the WVest, (in Ohio and elsewhere) th< Vines only begin to bear a few Grapes th< third year ; and, if well managed, from thb sixth year onwards, will average from 301 to 400 gallons of wine per acre. In the South, we can easily get one thousand (1000 gallons of wine per acre, the third year aftei planting the cuttings; and, under favorabbi circumstances, from the 5th year, onwards each acre will average from 2000 to 250( gallons of pure unadulterated wine. It Ohio, one good vine-dresser can attend t< #ve acres; while, in the South, from the increased length of the season and additiona time to do the work, the same hand can en sily manage ten acres-both, of Course needing much additional help at the gather ing time and vintage. Superior Climate of the South.-Ohit and other Western States are liable to manj disasters from the -fickleness and variable ness of the weather; it being often too wet too cold, too damp, foggy, &c,, &c., to say nothing of various other mishaps; causing loss nearly every year or half the crop. It fact, a fine, warm, sunny summer is indis pensably necessary, at the West, to make good crop of Grapes, and a finely flavoret Wine. For instatnce, the year 1853 pro. duced a very superior crop, and the vintag< of that season is still deservedly esteemed but, neither at the West or in Europe car they depend on such a season more that once in ten years. In the unfavorable years the Wine is generally too rough and soui to drink in its natural state, and it is, there. fore, necessary to add sugar to product what is known as Champagne or " Sparklina Wine." This popular drink is very pleas. ant, palatable, and not particularly injurious; but in point of purity or healthfulness il does not rank with the perfectly pure " Still Wines" before alluded to. We, of thec South, are exempt from all climate disasters -the only contingency being a frost in' lay, or a hail storm during the period ol Fruiting. The summer weather of the South is always favorable to the Grape, and we are, therefore, able to make, every year, a rull, heavy crop, allowing the bunches tc ang on the vines until they are fully ma. tured-an indispensable requisite to the ma. cilg of good Wine. At the West, the vint. er is often forced to pick the Grapes before hey are fully ripe, owing to decay comn nening. By allowing our Grapes to attain u1 perfection on the vine, we cnn produce a Wine equal or superior to the very finest imported;t and such Wine, if " made" into a Sparkling Champagne, wvill be mild, fruity, entirely free from roughness, an'd altogether nri1e1 by any in the world. General Propositions.-From the facts above stated, any person acquainted, by travel and observation, with the different cli. mates and modes of Grape culture in this and foreign countries, will readily admit that if the South, with her cheap land and slave labor-her unrivalled climate, good soils, wealth, &c., &c., will only enter upon and prosecute vigorously the culture of Grape and Wine Making, she will in 30 or 40 years hence, control the Wine markets of the world, as she now does the Cotton mar ket; and that, too, without any serious de. triment to the production of the latter-for the Grape has been and can be easily and successfully grown upon our exhausted cot ton fields and old waste lands, by proper preparation at first and a slight annual ma nuring afterwards. Indeed, we can afford to make Wine in the South at 50 cents per gallon, and than realize more money than from almost any other crop. In Ohio, how ever, owing to the uncertainty of the crop and the comparatively small yield, such a price would not be sufficiently remunerative to hold out inducements for men of enter. prize to engage in the business. [in making the foregoing comparisons between the West and the South, no invidiousness is intended. We cheerfully award the highest credit to the enterprizing and skilful vintners of Ohio and other States, only claiming for our own favored region, those natural advantages which it so obviously possesses.] Invitation to the Vineyards of Mr. Axt. Mr. A. states that he has not, Yet had the good fortune to see, in this section, a Vine yard well and properly planted, trimmed and managed; especially with reference to the peculiarities of our soils and climate. He is, therefore, willing to throw open to public inspection the Vineyards now under his direction at different places in the South. In Wilkes Co., Ga., he has 1, 2 and 4 year old Vineyards-the latter in full bearing. In Whitfield Co., (near Dalton, Ga.) 2 and 3 year old Vineyards-the latter in bearing. In Montgomery and Autauga counties, Ala bamma, 2 year old Vineyards, bearingfine ly- an additional proof that the climate of even the far South is perfectly adapted to the growth and early productiveness of the Grape. All persons who take any interest in the Grape enterpi ise are cordially invited to visit any or all of these Vineyards in the latter part of August of the present year (1856) to witness the gathering of the Grapes, the making of the Wine, &c. With the Vines and the Grapes before them, Mr. Axt will be better able to give his visitors satisfactory explanations on the subject, and to remove from their minds all prejudice, doubt and misapprehension. His Grapes being in per. fection, he will, lie hopes, be enabled to sat isfy the palate as well as the eye and the judgment of all who may avail themselves of his invitation. He will, also, be happy hereafter to answer, through the columns of this journal, all inquiries on this subject, and solicits the views and opinions of all inteli gent and experienced Grape Growers throughout the South.
