A little observation is suffimcut to con vioco on ordinary observer thut there is a mistaken idea existing among tho masses in regard to farm lifo <Vu idea is prevalent that tho business of farming is so simple that it can b) successfully conducted by any one, and that nil who possess n moderate business oapacity should sock other vocations in order that they may bc useful oud lind exerciso in somo complex profession for their cultivated minds. Fortunately, this idea is not universal, and wo think it* tho subject could receivo tho consideration which it merits this uotion would be less prevalent. Th? farm furnishes a boundless field fornrt and science. The farmer may cxperimcn tally and practically excroiso the formet'and apply the latter to (ho multifarious chores pertaining to his profession. An ogricul turol writer, says: "a farmer should bjj " .WM ? 1-~?? ~* -? ii.uv,.. ii1 fliivid j** Jilli ov a merchant or a h. wy or. Like thom bc requires brain as well as capital, and more brain than is gen orally thought necessary." Our prosperity and vital interests demand that our country bo moro fully developed agriculturally. The. incromtilo business is important and should receivo tho attention necessary to make it subscrvo tho interest of the land; we want lawyers, doctors and mon of varions other professions; but o restora tion of tho equilibrium of thc great tido of commerces demands that there be an ncoes sion to our catalogue of farmers of number of men who possess oapital, forethought ond energy. Thero aro thousands of such men and will they not consult their own perma nent interest together with that of tho country at large and engage in n business ('farming') hoiithful, honofd?!? Sli? remu nerative? Wo believe thero is a time in tho near futuro when farmers will bo their own in as te re; when other professions upon which they greatly depend will bo subord?nalo to that of agriculture; when, unliko tho pre vailing hnbit of tho present day, tho farmers will bo their own creditor?; when they will b relieved of the necessity of placing them selves under obligations to tho merchant for means to cultivate their ?ands, and when they will beoomo, ns they should, indepen dent and self sustaining. That time will bo hastened in proportion as they co-operate and work for tho promotion of each other's interest. It la'pl aid that thero is no other business in which wo oan cngago will furnish n greater vuricty of excroiso, both mental and physical. There is no business a failure of which will work greater injury to our na tiona! prosperity or upon tho success of which depends, to ft greater extent, tho general progress of tho various industries of our land in viow of these facts may wo not expect an accession to our ranks oro long of 0 number of competent mon who will I make ngricu;turo a specialty and assist us in making it pleasant nod remunerativo?

Professional occu pations provent as full a reply ns would bo desirublo, but tho information contained in your letter and Humorous communications from colored people in various parts of tho State, upon tho same subject, induce me to give you my views at onco, imperfect as their expression may bo from tho hurriod manner in which I am compelled to write. let. Tho Liberian Heh cm o is delusivo and chimerical, aud its originators aro enthusiasm tic and fanatic, not to characterize it and thom by harsher epithota. Tho soil, olimato and productions of Liberia aro io overy way inferior to those of South Carolina. It is a long und oxpensivo journey thoro, and the money il would requiro would buy moro land herc than ono man could properly cul tivate. Tho government of that country is weak and imbecile, aud exists only by on implied protectorate of Great Ihitan and tho United States; while tho Natiouol Qovoromont under which you now livo is ono of tho most powerful n tho world, ablo and willing to protect alike tho humblest and most exalted of its citizens. Thc religious, educational and benevolent institutions of Liberia oro not only in their infancy, but a very sickly infancy compared with corresponding organ izitionsin any part of tho United States. The pecuniary, moral, sanitary, educational aud religious advantages oro oil on tho side of our own oouutry. If it is objoctcd that tho colored raco is dwarfed by tho overshadowing ?nfh?nco 0f tho white, it ls sufficient to answer that, thia ia truo, in a ?tCu*vr or less degroo, throughout tho oivil ized world. Thc ships of tho whito raco plough every ocean; its travellers have cx~ ptorcd cvory land; its dominion exists over all the enlightened portions of the earth; it has extended its conquests, and govern ments far into the veal ms of barbarism. No laud or elimo is beyond its power and influence Thc ships in which you would take passage wcro constructed by white mechanics; tho tools and implements you would carry wcro invented and manufac tured by whito artisans, and tho books you would take to read wcro written and printed by white scholars. Through tho providenco pf Ood, this is your home-your country. Your interests, duties and responsibilities oro nil hero. Uodcr our free institutions, with our delightful olimato, generous soil . and remunerativo productions, tho highest possible moral and intellectual development < of your raco is attainable. Tho groat body i of tho colored people of tho South cannot i lea vc; their native soil. Their small moans < are utterly inadequate for their removal; tho entire shipping of the United States would bc insufficient for their transportation during -mxt century; and tho attempt, if made, would bc ll unprofitable r.s itwn?ld be foolish and cowardly. - ' 2d. Thc life, liberty, and property ot W$ race will bo protected in tho South. Tho Governor of this State has, in tho most emphatic manner, pledged his word to that effect, and, in taking tho oath of office, hus sworn it. Tho Constitutions of this State and of tho United States guarantee full pro tection to all classes and raocs, and who ever may bo Governor or President their provisions will be executed. 3d. lu regard to partisan politics, your race must abandon all hopo of holding pub Ho ellice, as indeed must all mcu of thc white race who have bcon antagonistic to tho now dominant party. While tho Re publican party of tho North is io its full vigor, and tho controlling organization, in ! !>o. South it is dead, and, under existing yircumstancos, thoro ie no hopo of its rosur reefton. It Is uso?e?C koro to inquire loto tho causes of this result, that wm uu ino province of tho historian. Its death absolves you from party allegiance, although not froai thc duties of oitizonship. Ques tions or finance, taxation, State credit, edu cation and labor aro thrusting themselves into tho foreground, and however unpalata bio, imperatively demand notion and adjust meut. It will becomo your duty to oxorciso according to your best judgment and honest convictions, all tho rights conferred upon you by tho State und Federal Constitutions, and among others to voto for tho mon whoso views upon public questions aro most conso nant with your own, and whoso abilities and characters will best eubservo tho varied iutcrcsts of tho whoto people 4th. Your success or failure, os a race, will dopend upon yourselves If frugal, indti8tious, honest und intelligent, you will suooocd; if not, you will fail. Hy tho pro visiotis of thc State Constitution an annual tax is requirod to bo levied upon tho prop erty of whito people us well os your own for lt- ? education of ul I tho children in thc tJ .3. If you ooo *ot, with this powerful assistance, educate your cnildren hero, how nan you do so without any ?ucl) assistance in Liberia? Tho duty of educating thom is imperativo. If tho public funds ure insuf fioient for its full accomplish moat, con tri hu tions should bo mado from your privte moans. It must not bo supposed that tho entire education of tho young onn bo re ceived in tho schools; they should bc taught ut home, by example as well BS precept, habits of industry and frugality, and prinoi pies of integrity and piety ? ?t costs but a trido to keep n fow domestic animals end some poultry, and these not only constitute a considerable portion pf tho living pf a small family, but vender other articles of food, moro nutritious and palatable They aro so cheap os to bo within tho means of ovory laboring man. Why thon aro so few of your people- possessed of them? Tho answer is os obvious as it is painful] It is beoauso indolont and dishonest colored people steal them, and if tho thief, doubly guilty in taking another's proporty feloni ously and tho good carno of his race, is arrested, numbers of colored people, who do not themselves steal, Dot only iefrain from exposing tho oulprit, but frequently attempt to shield him from tho oonscquonces of his crime by falsehood, aad sometime? by per jury. Tho remedy lies in tho oxposuro and prosecution of the dishonest by the honest. Tho whito pcoplo io every neighborhood furnish commendable examples in referenoe to suoh crimes porpotaatcd by any of their raco. Tho sacredness of tho married rela tion should bo observed and its violation promptly and legally punished. Every mon should endeavor to better his condition; to advance, not to stead still; uso improved furming implements; praotioe tho most, ap proved agricultural methods; utilizo natural and nrtiGoial fertilizers; moko better orops every year; and, abovo all, keep out of debt. It is au old and true adago, that "tho bor rower is o slave to tho louder " Spend nothing for show or neodlcss indulgence. Ruy land, build a oabin nod plant fruit trees around it if yon can; if you cannot do this, rent latid and work it; if you cannot rent land, work for n part of the crop or for wages, until you oro oblo to do better.

An interesting aooount of tho plan of Afrtoan development carried out by tho British at Hiera Leone is given. At first young Africans from tho colony wer-' cdu oatcd in Europo, with tho view of qualify ing thom to train and lend their country men, but it was found that suoh education somewhat unfitted them for their lifo in Africa; and; therefore,'schools and * oolloge j , r. ,0. were established Sierra Loone for tho educa tion of young Africans, hundreds of wlioin oro now educated yearly und prepared to' take an activo part in tho development of. their country. So fur as yet secu this plan' of tho evangelization and civilization of Afriou by thc indigenous peoples with tho aid of foreign nutions seems practicnblo abd likely to succeed. Tho establishment of manual lubor snhoots in Liberia is suggested. Somo of the native tribes, cspcoiully the Yoi tribo, forty miles from Monrovia, uro of re markable intelligence, ind could bo nnulo uso of in tho development of Liberia. /- -*. -_ OLDJIICKOIIY.-After Gen Jackson had fought and won thc battle of New Orleans/ tho ludios of South Carolina presented bini with a magnificent silver vase us a testimo nial of their respect for tho man who had whipped out (Jen.
