At th'u. ifjsnn, the business class of our people nro the farmers- The seoi inary virtue of Molher Earth, existiag at thie season iu its perfection, bids to work. Right among them at their work we will eomc, and taking a seat at one ond of the furrow will hare a ehat cnoh 9ml Iii? 'a time tke plow gets up thin waj. Well we ought of oourso to begin by telling some rcry wonderful thing. So here we are! -ft la known that the doinrs, goings and comiugs of wind and weather are no longer unknown subjects. Hut the direction and force of the wind and the totnpersturs aud horoscope of the weather are safely and regularly fore told. Signal stations are erected at different points on the Sea Coast, and mariners are told the morrow's storm or calm. ? Now. this fore knowledge of the weathar is to be applied and utilized for agricultnal purposes aud advantage. The Illinois Horticultural Society hare scut to Congress a memorial in which is the following paragraph : '?We do, therefore, respectfully ask that the appropriation for the bignal Service be so increased as to allow the establishment of statious of observation in the large agricultural districts and such extension of the warning signals and other publications of results and information as the Chief Signal Officer may Cud feasible nnd useful to the agri cnltural interests of the country." la not a grand ounocption '! Tim farmer will no longer tnlk of his crop in the future with the proviso, "if we have a good season." lie will know iu advance when it will rain, when it will bo dry ; when to plant this, that aud the other, when to plant it, how to plant aud cultivate it. Wendet ful. Hut agaiu. We notice in the "American Farmers Advocate," (a splendid agricultural magaxine,) a very sugg. stive artic le under the pertinent heading "What is the farmer's Share ?" In strongly advocating organisation on the part of the farmers it says : It will not be disputed that one man can ship one hundred thousand bushels 6f graia from a station per year at a leas cost than tan men can handle the same amount. While the oue man might make a*comfortable living from one cent por bushel, either one of the tea would starve upon two cents per bushel on each of the ten thousand. It is evident thcu, that the division ef such business at a shipping point is alwtys to tho farmer's disadvantage If the grain be worth a given amount when loaded in a 'ear, any excess' of charges for handliug comes out of or rather does nit go into, their pockets. So with the dry goods, und other supplies needed by tho far mer. Every time you multiply agents for their handling Jyou multiply every expense of the business, nnd subject 'yourself to tho payment of all the in crease. Betten ty fWs that you should support the- surplus ones in a first-class boo^?ng house, conducted on economical' principles. If the farmers of a town or a towuskip or civil district would' co operate in their business affairs so that oue experienced, hocest man iu eaoh branch might be selected to trans act the business for all, ho might if you pleats be better paid now, sod still the saving to each farmer would be very considerable iu the- course of a year. But to chat about something more ^essonaole. and pructical, near what the "Southern Cultivator," (a magazine published in Athens, Georgia, which should be read and supported by every Southern fannor,) says about COTTON PLAXT1NO "4'he yield of a crop is very largely ;nt ppon the ."stand*' secured. i,{.eueress often depends upou got a .stand st a particular tame. A difference of a few days or a week, in time of planting, often makes a wonder ful difference of resdlt;. especially in .ej?tifft efyhf c**# ?f cotton, and as at|jffft (KSB.|i:will be planted, during the .?jaggaent snonth, wo rent are a few sugges t ion*, as to time and mode o'planting, for the benefit *of joan.- farmers more illy.' lfirat?time for planting !' tT?e earlier fhe better Plant .t as soon aa the danger of frost is *'?eV observation is, that taking the avorsge of soasons, early pUoted ? ol ton. fruits better than late planted \ ccs tain degree of maturity ^wbjoh age alone oao give,) is a condition prec edent, to fruiting. A ?stslk must ho formed before the fruit can bo. At hist the forces of the plant are all directed to making weed?afterwards thane are divertrd into fruit making channels. Hut nature will brave its course aud time must ba given fur the first to com plete its work, ero the tide turns. Certain pocultart'es of our clim < to must nlso be considered in this couueo- j tiou ?drought rarely fnils to occur iu July or August. The result is a suspen sion of regoiable activity?growth aud fruiting are both arrested. Prcvioue to this, the condition* for making fruit are genet ally favorable. With an early start therefore a go od 'bottom" crop it* almost certain?much more so th.?n either a "middle" or ''top" cr ?p. As young plants are net so much a (footed by drought as old oua , a very late planted crop, may somtimes pass u i . checked through a drought and make a a g<<od late crop, but tho chances are in ferior to those of uu early plsti.ed oua. Hy the way of n question ? Po our farmers take these magazines? Or do they siy "Cant fiud time to road ?" Or arc they opposed to ' book farming ?" "Oh. pshaw'." we hero some old fel low say, "What does bode farming amount to?" Well, now, what ;a book farming? When did this picjudice against rending nri^i a*e? II we go back twenty fire years, when it was sup posedhhat nodoly h it a professional n.an could write fur tho papors, and when the first agricultural papers were dtj endent on the contributions of "theory men," thoro anight be some reason to distrust thsir value. H it times havo changed sour: in twenty five yaars Headers have become thinkers; thinking leads t? talking, and it has bam di<civ ered that a nun ;\ ho can talk can a bo write his talk; ami as a re-oilt, our pa per to day are filled with the expertsnce of practical men. '1 hdory, UO?uppor ted by experience sum omoun'ers a stumbling block Publishers have learn* ed his fact and that their success de pends upon the ability to discriminate in the selection of sound matter of pub I lication: And the farmer can't find time to j read ? Can the mechanic find lime to l learn his trade? Hettcr by tar that I one half of each day be apeut, if necess j ary. to Karn how to do the w >rk to br?t advantage before umLrtuki ig it. One I aero well tilled will product more profit than three cultivated in the u?ual slip shod manner. This has b.-en demon strated hundreds of times, aud has he- j coma an admitted truth ; yet the whole . land abounds with farmers to > lax/, too ! negligent to study the m-?rt successful mothod. The one thing need u! to pro toct the farmer from the iinp'fSttiou of monopolies and elevate his calling to its pioper position among the productive industries, is more reading. Were the Agricaltar.il Societies to expend one half the present amount paid in premiums, iu distributing among the > farmer* of their respective counties the standard agricultural paper.*, th*y woul I put in motion an iuuuoncu fur good which all of their previous efforts havo never accomplished. It is justice to remark right here, that we hare in our owtr Stute one of these very practical Agricultural Maga zincs. It is the "Kur.il Carolinian," published bp "Walker, Krane k Cogs well.

Now is th i time to plant rice, so- it will interest to rea l the ful o viog extract from a letter in the Phoenix : "The pria itive wooden mortar aud pestle, huretoforu iudispeusable fur sepa rating the hull from the kernel, and tho m_>iu hiixUauee to the cultivation of r.ce on a small sense, i? now ssisperscdod by a* cheap and) effective rica huller. no simple as a funny ooffoe mill, wni-h tho iiivcctor promises to havo in thd machet in time lor the next <-? o>.

This- is tho way the Iowa code com missionary declare tho list of exemptions from execution : "Fifty sheep, six stands of bees, and the wool thereon." The jorial farmer will hare a 'hot' time trying to shear these latter pet a, and will probably g? rovne *h?Tn. Tho I iu mortui! As was announced io the ptohr of Orangeburg, the immortal "J. N." re turned to our town on Wednesday last, April 2d, and delivered a lecture. Fortuuate Orungcburg to be honored as the place io her State where "J. N." delivered his first lecture; the place where he first "lifted the veil," and first met the "pressure." ??J. N.'s" reeep lion here was an ovstion. The public balls wer? placed at his disposal and business was closed at an earlier hour than usual to permit all to sre aud hear htm, on whom the press had lavished such laudations. At >about 71 o'clock the Firemen's Hall was abl?se with illumination and a vast concourse oi our eittsens eagerly hastened to enter and obtsin seats. The hall was soon jammed and to use the immortal's owu language "as the Irishman said, it was full inside and lull outside." At length ' J. N." arose and com menced the utterance of philosophy and oratory of an immortal quality. The veil was lifted aud all eyes beheld entranced the philosophy and truth of our sectional differences sod delictod ike philosopher's stone that would "split tho difference." The pres-sure of prejudice and one. sided visieu was met aud overthrown. A chair w s placed npou the st >ge. A vacant chair, hut the dramatic imagi nation of the orator filled it with a philosopher. Gen. Grant entered aud a sharp debate ensued. It was sublime ventriloquism with tke ventriloquism left out. It was imagary of terrific effective power. It was eloquence peo pling the room with beings, whose presence was Jelt with artistic nud dramatic force of a spoil. A master with the voice, the thought, the action of theatrical oratory, called beings from absence and from death, and bade them tlitill the auditory with tho startling developments of a philosophy that had attained the truth of the difference, the remedy for the misunderstanding, tho charity for the variance, the forgiveness for tho opposit'on aud the union for the alienation ! A long bench was placed athwart the ro?trum. A bare bench, as if from a school bouse house in vacation, but the eagle flying imagination of the philoso pher seated a class upon it. The cUss was catechised severely aud responded most unanimously aud appeared most friendly. The Union soldier, the Con federate soldier, the Democrat and the Republican e:.cb very politely said that his opponent was "right the way be looked at it." Profound philosophy '. 1 "Each was right tho way he luoked at ' it; ?11 were wrong for looking at it as they did ; what they all wanted was somebody who had not lookeJ at it the way either orro of them had." This was the consummate climax of the philoso phy ; this the apex of truth. The veil was lifted! Out of th* verrtriroquial imagery, a statue seemed' to rise, grand and towering pointing to a star where light beamed* upon him from the ang?l guarded preeiucts which are the habitation of troth. TJpow the static are graven Wr characters of sun light "J. N." The statse is-gifted with a voice, and the admitted oracle of Peaoo, its tones majestically foretold the millennium of Reconciliation. j One trembled as the consummatioa of the profound philosophy was attained by the sublime processes of rhetoric and logic ; and one felt like "falting-off one's ?hoes" aud wershippiug ss the k<glvt of the truth hurst npon his view. The latter pert ePthe lecture which was addressed to the eoloMrs) portion of t' ? audience was remarkably ffrie.

[rOMMVKlCATSD.] y* Mr. Editor ? /Mir Sir : Vikare dis posed to publish anything of public interest, I would respectfully ask you to insert the follow:ng in your valuable pa per. A STOCHOkDKR. The Be). C a. Ital!ie> When Mr James Gadsden As Presi dont his salary was 83000 peal annum, the present incumbent receivojB 10.000 Mr. Gad?den's successor rcceirSl $7000 per annum. He held office uulil 1854 when he resigned. Mr JohntCaldwe II then took charge of the road, a very bad couditioo at that ti Cahlwell put it in good runn managed the rond exceedingly pnd the stock hol lets a divid aad 10 per e. Mr. Caldwell walwithout any douht, the most able Prcsileut the road ever had. Tho preernt hiauuibont has had charge of the road since Mr. raldwells resignation, and tin result shoas for itself* how the road ?as been managed. St. Matthews is tnely en- I dorsed by many stockholders. There is one gentleman employed ns traveling agent, who retired from budncss on account of ill health, perhaps hia con nections can control a large v>te in the coming election. There is an* agency established in New York which must COat fiona fifteen to twenty thousand dollars per annum, which shou d be re duced. There are and hare bren certain j agrnts at the bead of the road who hare | received large salaries, and in return give \ very little service. Within a short | peiiod a certain agent on the line of the road was a d?,faulter to the amount of | several hundred dollar*, this agent is ' still retained so the writer is i..formed. The various station* on the" line of ? i I the road is sadly neglected, aud espe cially the one at Orangcburg, where there is not sufficient accommuJation to j transact the business properly and satis- ', fy the just public demand. T*fSds one i of the most important St a I tonNh ' tho t road. There is more frci.ht received and shipped from this point t'.ian from ' at<y two way ?tatiou? on iho road. He- J sides uiore freight is charged by about 33 per cent . a dis'sncs of SO miles, than is charged i> 130 miles, hence the patrons of this County are sntitlod to tome cou'iderati >n The company has also a land ageut who dees not seem to be very sharp. This age: t sold a certain lot en the line of road for 8100. Somtime afturwards I a lot in the same plase, not as valuable ! as the other, sold f r 8350 through the sgeney of some ot the stockholder*. It stems strange that a Committee of the Hoard of 1 irretors should makes report ju.?t ou the eve id* the Convention, favorable to the proseut admiuiitretiou, This wss never done before This com mittee it i: ??The rcasow why the Georgia Rail Road r.-l ?aaking Co. took a controlling interest in tho Port Hoy a I Koad was because the Georgia K. K Co. fea.'cd that the S. C U. it. would pass iuto the bauds of a Georgia I party and bo run in the interest of Georgia." The very reverse is the ca.?s. j The Georgia Road k uowing huw badly tho Sooth Carolina Road was managed, they thought ir* to their interest to make a connection with the Port Royal Road. This is certainly a more reasonable Con clusion to come to. It is simply prepos terous that tho S C It. R. eau pass into ilia Hands of a Georgia party, when tho majority uf the stock is owned by our own people, furthermore the only way the road eau be ruu lo pay tho stock holders is Vo run it as it will psy best, sod tl at is what those parties who own stock in our road will do. Tho road never can be Werber*) say other way as long as South Carolina holds the majori ty of the stock. They cry down Mr. Jams*. This gentleman is a large stockholder, aud has some rights. He Joes not wish to control the road, but he is very desirous to have it so managed as to pay the stockholders something. There is certainty one groat advantage iu having parlies in Georgia to havo an intorwsl iu our road, for they will use their influence to kriug business to it. 11 is about time th*it the up oouutry stockholders should- devote some atten tion to this great enterprise, inquire into the earnings of the road1, and in what WSJ tlie money is-expended'. I urge the country stockholders not to allow arty more dust thrown into their eyes. Th* company hat to paj out largo sumr ol money in th? way of law suit* and counsel fee*, mach of which could be avoided by fettling any juat claim that is presented. 1 know of one cane which could hm been settled for $140, but it wan drrgged through the ?ovcral courts until it eost SG50. All these incidental expen?*s, which must amount to a great daal, are charged to currant expanses, and the stockholders do uot kuow how tlioil money goes. When Mr YY. E. Johnson, President of the Columbia and Augusta Road un dertook to finish that road, [the S. C Road pitched right into him by com mencing a law mit to prevent him from running his road to Augusta. Mr. Johnson was more than a match for them, aud went triumphantly into Au gusta. This little affair only cost th? S. C, 11. H., the snug little sum of seventy thousaod dollars, (so I am im formed) and perhsps mors. The stock of the Columbia and Angustia lload at that timo was 80 per share, with this 870,00?, the S. 0., R R . could have purchased ll,G6tJ shares of her stock, and would o iw have con trol of the Road. This would hare teea *a master atroke, by those who had it in their power lo do so. I am cred ibly informed, that sto 'k holders who are known to be opposed to the Ring, haTC on spplicalion at tho office been refused pamphlets, which contniu th* names of all stockholders. Why is this arbitary course pursued, when the Tory stockholders bi?e to psy for th* prim ing of these pamphlets Should the stockholders ba able to -fleet a chauge, aud bar* a n*w Board of Directors, kc, etc , matters ean cer tainly be no vroise thin they are now. when the stock is down to 82 4, (par 125), they mar grow much be'ter. and it is their groat hopw that such will bo the case. The Western and Atlantic R R . HIS miles in length, is owned by the State of Georgia, it is now leased to a | Company at the late if fifty thousand dollars per mo-th. The stock of the Nashville and Chittnotga R. R., w-.s down to ,;.nr 1UD) Since Mr E. W. Cole i> I'rrs'ldeut oftheUual.it lias goi.e u pt>70\ The QcO~gia R.
