On t'jo Wing to ilia Exposition. n.v>u viu.t\ Aug. 1 hs Mis Mi ;ii h : -To night, after a day of good ex-reise and no little sightseeing. it i" impossiblc for tne to resi-1 the temptation of giving yourself ami readers a few notes and some ranloin thoughts on what your correspondent has s 'en within the last few days. Leaving Union on the afternoon ot tlie 71It. on an uncomfortably crowded train, with the thermometer an in tlie ninctys, to which the crying of infants and the constant running about of small children lent no charm, yet in the face of *11 these difficulties we arrive J in Spartanburg on time. As is well known the crop prospects all between Spartanburg ami I'nion are very gloomy m l discouraging. After leaving Spartanburg a short ilistance the appearance of tilings change eonsi lcrably. The corn has that healthy <lark green colour so prevalent in well watered countries, and the cotton looks as though it were intended for ?otne other purpose than for the humble bee, sporting in the morning or evening hrccze, to rest his weary linths upon while he draws forth the life blood of the plant through the small white bloom just budding firth on its topmost limb. Tho (Jcorgians seem to understand the cultivation of the soil much better than wc do ; this may be seen very easily by one as he hurries through their fields of waving grain and grow ing cotton at the rate of forty miles an hour. On all sides one may sec the buggy plow and the huge sins uler busily doing their work. One of our old fashion plow stocks is a rare curiosity in some sections of the Ktnpire State , and is spoken of only as a relic of "lays long gone ami to be hoped never to return again. Ml along from Atlanta to Chattanooga largo fields of clover may he seen growing in the very "1^ place where the grain has but recently been harvested, and as for corn, they say that they have enough from last year's crop left to run t!iom another year without touching the growing cnc. To what can we attribute our present position on the crop question? True the drought may and doubtless did effect it somstill that does a not relieve its from our embarrassing position, and nothing can do so save a straightout honest confession that we were too negligent with regard to the breaking up of our lands. Since leaving home I have travelled and conversed with farmers and men interested inagri* culture and the entire secret of their success may he summed up in the short sentence?in the oarly Spring break up your land deep and well,, by so doing the roots have a good opportunity of spreading out, gaining a strong foothold, and thus withstand droughts. Our method is to rarely hreak up the ground deeper than six inches, while they stir it up by means of a subsoil process to the depth of from It! to 1S inches, Having an acquaintance in Murfrceshoro, fwlio by the way, I met in tnc "Ould I'ountry" beyond tho water.) I left my travelling companion in the care of an idd acquaintance of his for safe keeping, while I made a visit there. While in Murfrceshoro my young friend above referred to had hrr, 1 mean a vehicle gotten out ami showed me round the town and neighboring country.? The land in that sec'ion lies beautifully, nnd no otic ever saw liner corn crow iiimi mat now last maturing ; cotton is crown only to a very limited ^ extent, an i I think grows more so each year. In fact I was so well pleased with the general surroundings of the place, and then the temptations and inducements arc so great, that 1 almost felt like driving down my pegs and staying. However, I satisfied them liv tellingtheni no one knew what a day might bring forth. I.nnd here is at a high premium, ranging from S"J"i to J? l"> per acre. The old marks of the battle of Murfrcosboro and Stone Creek may still be seen, though the ravages of time are last destroying them, and doubtless in a few years they will be known only l>y tradition. 1 finally succeeded in tearing myself away from Murfrcesboro and am now safe back in N ishvillc. Much might be written about this beautiful city, iis fine location, magnificent buildings and far famed schools of l aming ; but 1 know the patience of 1113* readers has long since grown weary with this <lull recital, so I will draw in 1113' thoughts for fear that they ma3' be carried oil" on a more distant (light than the one just terminated.
