EDITORS SOUTHERN GULTLVATOR;: As I shall be absent, and muya engaged, for the uexi two months, I propose to condense, in one article, all that I have yet to say. 1st. On the manne; of picking, pack ing, and shipping peaches. 2nd, Thc expense per acre, and proba ble yield,finder judicious management. For shipment, the fruit should be picked when quite hard and just as it begins to color. In picking, the hands should be care ful not to press the fruit with the fore finger aud thumb, as indentation w?l produce decay within tweuty four hours. Clasp tile pouch m tiler in thc palm of the h.nul and apply the lingers to the stem which connects it with the branch, and a slight pull will separate the peach from the tree without bruising it. Each hand should carry a peach has kel lined with common homespun, into which the fruit should be laid (not t.mnvn) when picked. This prevents abrasion of ri:'1 skin from the coarse straw <<f which the baskets are made. By laving them in. brnisesnare avoided. Care in performing these tasks, is at the bjttom ol' snc??ksful shipment, and no . in-, need hope io make- tho business a success, who will not insist on these conditions being attended io. unless the fruit i.-- io be sold in a market within* twenty-four ho?rs travelling distance iVi-.'ji the orchard.

Those hands should rejec t ali peaches that are accidentally bruised, and roll tin- balam e in.thin paper, winch can be bought in New York at SO cents per ream-; each sh?et wjll foll, fout peaches. As ta.--: as they -are rolled* the roller places them in baskets. The-e baskets .ne taken by the pnr/.rn, and the peaches laid" carefully, regularly, and closely inri; the boxes, and tilled so i'ftll that it will reqnire considerable pressure toget the ever- dow?K lr is wei; to put about :: inch of paper e'rppings, or excelsior packing (which can he bough:, in Ivew Vi>rk ?ir three cents tier poimd) on the ion ol' the peaches before pjfesf-ing down i hi- cover, so as to avoiil bruising the fruit with the slats or box cover. Each end of the boxes should be hooped with a thin hooping strip THE PEACH BOXES are made twenty two inches long, eight inches high, and fifteen inches wide, with a partition crossways through the centre. This holds about one bushel. The ends are made of three-fourths inch stuff, eight inches wide. The .-iib-.-, of strips two and one-half inches wide and one-half inch thick; tho top .-md bottom of four inch strips, one-half inch thiele. i?.nd are so ptaccdasto leave spaces between th*e strips for the passage ol' air.

J> mention this that pecsons loay not be deterred at the expense and trouble of wrapping in paper.-, for it costs nothing. l:iu pays a profit, ami lentil materially ;.. til?' v>iH.*.erv;ition of thc fruit ! Persons living on thc linc of the lia il road above Atlanta, who have to . by express^ will find, the freight ..bout thre'eMoHars per bushel, which . ::n only be borne by fine peaches matu i inc in -hine and Jul;.*. ; lie very earlypea hes. maturing from ?he filth to the middle of -June, bring from twelve to fifteen dollars per bushel, but they tire very tenderpeaches ( Tillot pon) and do*not ship so Well as later kinds. Thc Hale's early, unless it differs from the northern fruit, by change of climate, will not bear shipment to New York. The Columbus June, a va riety now nearly lost, ripens as ear le us the Til kitson, and is a good shipping pencil. Troth's Early, old Mix??n l-'ree. the Melacalm's, Early and l.:ite Crawford, Incomparable Chinese ??ling, and some other varieties, that ripen lattin June, and through July, are the safest peaches, to ship, ?md, ono year with another, will pay the most money. In my orchard, now-being pre-. pared for planting, containing 20.000 trees, I shall not set out more than 2000 of the earliest varieties. When I can increase my stock of the Cbrambus June J shall plant more freely -for the early market? but ?ill things considered, would rather rake the chances of July peaches for profitable shipment. PROFITS.-An acre of peach trees, weil cultivated from the start, will ?pro duce pretty well the third season; the fourth season they will make a full crop. An acre will hold one hundred "and thirty three trees, and each ought to average at least one bushel. I have had trees, at seven years old, to produce four bushels. I think they would pay five dollars per bushel, clear money, un til hundred-- of thousands of bushels are produced in the-South, bur. allow- i in<r thai they nett but two dollars, it j vields two hundred and sixty-six dollars per acre, which is better than any crop I know of. One hand and two mules, with a 6U'ky cultivator, will keep sixty . acres iii order, with ease. but. of course, i one hind would not worm and trim so ; .?ian v. I think, however, that six hands j r otiid thoroughly attend an orchard of that size, mid keep it as orchards have i H'wer been kept at the South. t ?BM ave constantly prosrewing, freights aro being retliued,' spt;e? increased, boxes, adapted lo packlugT are being made (ind juc. -nied, f?fn Ui. iiix-.--- isvgetting to bc ;t ;;ir,il j at?] IKI ?Vc. ifltoiy >t, "iand lluttil erii ingenuity is devoting si large portion ol '?.: ix-1-.. :.t:,*:?f.-in.^ thc moan-* ot'-lians-, polling tropical ami Southern fruit.

I have inquired into this thing, and, one day~last sumnier, while I ..was in New York, seventy ear loads,.of about three hundred bushels each, and two steam .boat loads, with an incalculable number of bushels, arrived in market, and there was no pressur? on the sales;'- They were distributed, the next day, on the various lines of road and steamboats, that contre in NeW York ; and the next day new arrivals came pouring in. and so it continues during their season which begins in August. Wc have the same mouths to feed in June and July, and mitureigives us tlie monopoly. We are ti hot bed, in which to raise these early products for north ern markets. The crop is, of course, subjp t to frosts, but I have never lost a crop, from frost, seventeen years. I attribute this to the altitude of my place. Always select a hill that-rises abruptly and high above the surrounding country, if such location can be had. In my first article, I said plant noth ing but peas in young orchards. I might have added, sweet or Irish potatoes, turnips, and ground peas. But I selected thecowpea, not with reference to the crop,- but as a green manari. Of spe cial manures, bone dust is decidedly the specific for fruit trees. I cannot close without one word about peafs. They do not succeed in this lati tude-the blight destroys them. I have lost Qver one thousand trees by blight, but shall try it again. On a recent visit to Marietta,, I was struck with the thriftness and "quali ty of the pear,'anil, all that I have said about thc profit of peaches, I will say in regard to pears. Planted on the line of Railroad at. Marietta-and above that line, they ship better than peaclres. Many kinds are only petfceto&by gath ering -them a few days before they ripen. They require a much richer soil then peaches but I am - confident that large paar orchards will richly repay the labor and expense of cultivation. I have written in great haste and may have omitted some facts familiar to" mo, required by others. If so, please suggest, in your paper, the information desired. If in my power I will reply cheerfully. Respeetfullv, R. J. MOSES. Ciilumbus, Ga. - .. ? ? -? The Sumac Trade. The Norfolk Virginian, of a late date, has the following article on the Sumac Trade, which may be of interest to some of our readers : TrrE SUITAC TRADE.-This new item of interest to our industrial class is now attracting much attention in this State, throughout the entire length and breadth ot" which it flourishes in profusion in a wild state. The material is used large ly for the essential principle of tanning, which it contains, and jj factories for its extraction have been established in this State-andelsewhere. Our attention-has been particularly caliea to the estab lishment of Messrs. Chisman & Crocker. inlHautpton, who haye gone into the business on a large scale, arni from whose circular we make tho following extracts, for the guidance of those who may wish to engage in its collection : ?. Sumac must be of a good color, free from stems-,- dirt and benies." * * :;; .. It should .be gathered from the hist of July until first frost, after which it will, turn red. and then it. will be worthless. lt should be cured as much- as possible under shelter or in the .shade, to pre serve its color and strength-carefully thrashed (and not cut) on a plank floor, or sheet, to keep it free from dirt and sand. The sticks, stems and berries 'should be carefully raked and picked out before sending to market." -They tilsogive the following direc tion for gathering anti curing the pro duct: " Gather -like you would fodder of this years' growth, except the blossoms and berries ; dry it u?der shelter ; stir it like you would hay ; be careful it does not heat ; do not dry it in the sun -both will soil it ; when dry put it in bulk. When dry windy days set in, then lay it in beds like you would wheat or oats, thrash it with aflail, when the leaves and stems will break up fine--rake out the large stems and throw them away-all the fine is called thrashed Sumac. Be careful not to have ariv sand on the floor before thrash ing- T?tere is no weight in the large stems, being mostly.pith, and no strength; to bring them io market will only re duce the price of your Sumac, and when you gather the large stems you have to wail that much longer for your Sumac to euro; The .strength of Sumac is in the leaf and leaf stem." With these instructions, a large class of the population in the surrounding country ,can spend their leisure time in light but very remunerative employ ment, at no cost beyond the labor of gathering. " (?reat Wscovery HfeiMhe South. Tlie pamphlet on tho-u.se and merits'of the Ramie,' by Dr. Roe/,1, contains all information necessary to thosjj .interest ed in this valuable discovery-and de scribes this phtiif. with all its advantages - over Got, ton and as a substitute for-it.'It is conceded, by the results of eminent' French Botanists, that this plant posses ses tho following advantages, (aud-.ma chines are already patented for its jire paration :) 1. That the fibre of'the Ramie ia stronger than that of the best European hemp.. 2. That it is fifty per cent, stronger and better than the Belgian, flaxen, or linen fibre. 3. That the Ramie fibre may be spun as fine as that of flax, and that it will ? be doubly as durable. , 4. That the plant is a vigorous grower i and will produce far the greatest amount j sf textile fibre of any plant hitherto known. 5.

Rich sandy ground suits best, but it is so vigorous that it will do well anywhere, and the Foots, or pieces of roots, and stalks, can be used to increase the plantation. in a word, the cultivation of this plant will reconstruct tho prosperity of the South, its market price being already quoted in the foreign prices current. An old picture represents a king sit ting in state, with a labul,' " I govern all ;"- a bishop with a legend, " I pray, for all ;" a soldier with the motto, " I light for all ;" a farmer drawing forth reluctantlv a purse, with thc inscription " I pay for all." -There is more truth than poetry in the idea.

The party of Marylanders who lately visited our State, publjsh in the Hagers town Mail a card, in which they say : Having just returned from an excur sion through .the States of Virginia, North and South-Carolina, as far as Co lumbia in the latter named State, the' undersigned take great pleasure in ac knowledging through the public press the 'great facilities extended to us by the several railroad and steamboat compa nies over whose lines we passed ; to the citizens of Richmond, Va., of Greens ;boro, Saulsbury and Charlotte, N. C., and of Lancaster and York counties,' (formerly .districts,) in South Caro lina, and also Columbia, S. C., for the many kindnesses and attentions paid us whilst with them. Those thanks arc not only intended for the citizens pf the towns, named, but also to the citizens of the surrounding country who con veyed us with, vehicles free of all ex pense to their farms anti homes, and treated us with such marked, noble hos pitality. We are of the -unanimous opinion that the country through whi?h we passed and visited offers superior in ducements to active, industrious-emigra tion, for the following reasons : First its mild, salubrious climate with its.gen tle summers and short winters. Second -healthfulness and good society. Third -cheapness bf lands- and excellent market facilities. We are also of-the unanimous opinion .that much of the land we examined is equally as fertile as the land of oiir own State', and if cul tivated and improved by our system of fanning, would 'yield a ricner reward. We beg iurther to add that we be lieve the portion of the South we visited perfectly safe-there being naught but friendly feelings existing between the wnitus and the blacks, lt seems to us that what is wanting is for*.the two sec tions cf our commpn country to.lynow each other better-to understand the kind of ." reconstruction" thatis required to make us onc?'mpre a united, prosper ous and happy people. What the South wants is rn industrious, enterprising white po^Jation, smaller farms, and more thorough culture. We will add, that a number of us think of purchasing and removing thither. DIDN'T LIKE WIDOWERS.-In endeav oring to take the census for the govern ment, the officials occasionally p>eet with such difficulties as to well nigh de prive them of their senses. Thc follow ing colloquy is said to have taken place some where between an official and an Irish woman: " How many male members have you in your family?" ' " Niyer a-one/' - "When were you married?'' .. " The day that Pat Doyle left Tippe rary for Aineriky. Ah, well I mi*- ! it. A sun shinier day uiver gilded the sky of ould Ireland.' " What was the condition ..of your husband before marriage ?" "Divil a man, moro miserable. He said if I didn't give him a promise in two weeks he'd blow out his brains with a crowbar." " Was he at the time of' marriage a ? widower or bachelor ?" " A which ! A widower did you say ? Ah, now go-away with your nonsense. Is it thc like of me that would take up < with a Widower ? Do I look like the wife of a widower? All legs and con sumption like a sick turkey ! A wid 3wer!
