Right among them at thoir wurk we will eome, and taking a seat at one end of the furrow will hare a chat cr.oh time the plow pats up this way. Well we ooght of course- to begin by telling some very wonderful thing. S? here we are! . It is known that the doinrs, goings and comings of wind and weather are no. longer unknowo^sOs^eeta. Hut the direetiou and force of the wind and the temperature and 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 ^?se sat''(vi calm. Now, tili? iore knowledge of the wejjher ia to be applied and utilized for ugricultual purposes end advantage. The Illinois Horticultural Society have sent to Congress a memorial in which is the following paragraph : ''We do, thorcforc, respectfully ask that the appropriation for the Signal Service be so increased as to allow the establishment of ?tatious of observation in the large agricultural districts and such extension of the warning signals and ether publications of results and information as the Chief Signal Officer may Cud feasible and useful to the agri cultural interests of the couutry." Is not a grand Ounocption ? The farmer Trill no longer talk of his crop in the future with the proviso, "if we have als 3?-'*aJ"*a i *>. good season." lie will know in advance when it will rain, when it will be dry ; when to plant this, that aud the se^sr et tat i ether, when to plant it, how to plant aud cultivate it. YVondciful. But again Wo'notice in the "American Farmers Advocate," (a splendid sgricultural ?*sswssi?f ?i ? - Uif tt^eawne,) a very juggf stive article under the pertinent heading "What i* the Fanncr'a Share ?" In strongly advocating organiration on the pitT?TTflte' farmers it says: It will not be disputed that one man can ship one hundred thousand bushels 6f grain from a station per year at a less coat than tea men can handle the same amount. While theouemsn might nuka a comfortable living from one cent por nrRet^?ther one of the tea would MaTVe np^oh two cents per bushel on each cf the tec thousand. It is evident then, that the division of such business at a shipping point is alw tya to the farmer's disadvsnrage. If the grain be worth a given amount when loaded in a cr.r, any excess of charges for handling comes out of or rather doos not go into, their pockets. So with the dry goods, and other supplies needed by the lar iMl *merj ttme you multiply agents ^e^Hlfr^Mlftdl'rtg "yon multiply every expense of the 'business, and subject (MfcfelMt ihe payment of ail the ia flelke> Batftvif?y W that you ehould ^j4WRrer*%fe * etrrplne ones in a first-class boosaTmg house, conducted on economical principles.

"*!fJriltli? chat about something more and practical, hear what the irjjs : f>>u a srn Cultivator/' (a magazine in Athens, Georgia, which t read and supported by every ^o^?WrnFtarmor,) says about COTTON PLANTIMO 3! ea ?t-d d? h e- I / he yield of a crop ia very largely '?oarffRMU tJV*) r%****<*-' secured, i, euercss alien depouda upon get fk. aland at a particular fei me.

As young plants aru not so much a ducted by drought as old oue , a very late planted crop, may soinlimos pass u i . checked through a drought and make a a g'<od late crop, but the chances are in ferior to thi.se of an early plsu.ed ens. Hy the way of a question 7 Do our farmers take these magazines? Or do thry s?y "Cant tiud time to road 7" Or arc they opposed to ' book farming 7" "Oh. pshaw!" we hero some old fel low say, ''What doos boik furming amount to?" Well, now, what is book farming? When did this piejudice against rtadiog nriguatc? 11 wo go back twenty live years, when it was sup pns*d|that nndoly L it a professional n.an could write for tho papars, and when the first agricultural papers wore dependent, on the contributions of "theory men," thoro might be some reason to distrust th sir valui H it times havo changed some in twenty fire years Renders hare become thinkers; thinking loads to talking, nnd it his been discov ered that a man w\\o can talk can aUo writ* his talk; and as a re<nlt, nur pa per to day are filled with the uxportmec of practical men. 1 Usury, uosuppor ted by experience soon oinun'iri a stumbling block Publishers have learn ed .his fact and that their yucce&t de pends upon th* ability to discr'min sto in the selection of sound matter of pub liQiition: And the farmer can't find time to read ?

This has b?cn demon strated hundreds of times, and has he corn* an admitted truth ; yet the v\ heist land abounds with farmers to) lasy, too negligent to study the m wo successful method. The one thing nacdl'ul to pro tect the farmer from the itnp>sittou of monopolies and elevate his calling to its proper position among the productive industries, is more reading. Were th* Agiiculturil Societies to expend one half the present amount paid in premiums, iu distributing aino-ig the farmers of their respective comities tbe standard agricultural papers, tiny woul 1 put in motion an iutlucucd for good which all ol their previous efforts havo never accomplished. It is justice to remark right here, that we have in our own State on* of these rcrj practical Agricultural Maga zines. It is th* "Rural Caroliniau," published bp Walker, Evans k Cogs well.

Now is th<i time to plant rice, so- it will interest to read the fol.offiiig:extract from a Utter in th* Phoenix :?

N." re turned to our town on Wednesday laut, April 2d, and delivered a lecture. Fortunate Oraugcburg to be honored as the place in her State where "J, N." delivered his first lecture; the place where he first "lifted the veil," and first met the "pressure." "J >f.s" reeep (ion her* was an ovation. Tb* public halls wer? placed at his diaper*! and business was closed at au earlier hour than usual to permit nil to are aud hesr him, on whom the press had lavished such laudations. At %about 7 J o'clock the Firemen's Hall was ablate with illumination and a vast concourse oi our citisens eagerly hastened to enter and 1 obtain seats. The hall was soon jammed j and to use the immortal's own language "as th* Irishman said, it was full iuaidc and full outside." At length "J. N." arose and com menced th* utterance of philosophy and oratory of aa immortal quality. The veil was lifted aud all eyes beheld entranced the philosophy and truth of our sectional differences snd detected the philosopher's stone that would ' 'split the difforence." The pressure of prejudice and one. sided visieu was met aud overthrown. A chair w s placed upon the st ige. A vacant chair, but the dramatic imagi nation of the orator filled it with a philosopher. Gee. Grant entered and a sharp debate ensued. It was sublime ventriloquism with the ventriloquism left out. It was imagery of terrific effect im power. It was eloquence peo pling the room with beiugs, whose presence wss jdt with artistic aud dramatic force of a spell. A master nith the voice, the thought, the action of theatrical oratory, called beings from absence aud from death, and bade them tin ill the auditory with th* startling developments of a philosophy that hsd attaiucd the truth of the difforence, the remedy for the misunderstanding, th* charity fur the variance, the forgir*ncs? for th* opposit'ou and the union for the alien.ittoe ! A long bench was placed athwart the rostrum. A bare bench, as if from a school house house io vacation, but the eagle fiying imagination of the philoso pher seated a class upon it. TU? class wss catechised severely and responded most unanimously aud appeared most friendly. Th* Union soldier, the Con federate soldier, the Democrat sod the Republican euch very politely said that his opponent was "right the wsy he looked at it." Profound phil osophy '. "Each was right th* way he looked at it; all were wrong for looking at it as they did ; whut they all wanted was somebody who hsd uot IookeJ at it tt>e wsy either orro of them had." This wa t the consummate climsz of the philoso phy ; this the apex of truth. The veil was lifted! Out of the ?etrtriroquial imagery, a statue secured" to rise, grand and towering pointing to s star where light beamed upon him from th* angel guarded preeiucts v?hich ar* the habitation? of truth, l'po? lire static are graven ttr characters of sun light "J. N." The statte is gifted with a voice, snd the admitted oracle of Peso*, its tones majestically 1or*told the millennium of Reconciliation. One trembled as the consummation of the profound philosophy was attained by the sublime processes of rhetoric and logic ; and one felt like "talking.off oue's shoes" aud worshipping as lb* light of I ho truth burst npon bis view. The letter part ofthc lector* which was addressed to th* colored" portion of t' e audience was remarkably fltoe. The views were original aud lofty and wore expressed in glowing terms of irresistib e oonvictio.i. "Neither army fought for emancipation." Freedom of the slaves wss an accidental or providential result of the contest of botflr" "Th* relations between th* Southern1 whiste* and blacks were tender and1 saored !

The c'n. Rfallre>| When Mr James Gadsdeo As Presi dent his salary was 83(100 pern annum, the present incumbent receive* 10.001) Mr. Gadsden's successor rcceivnl $7006 per annum. He held office uutil 1854, when he resigned. Mr JuhnjCaldwell then took charge of the road, J was in a very bud condition at that titfi*. Mr. Caldwell put it in good ruunWr order, managed the road exceedingly ?eil. and piid the Stock hoi lera a divid&d of 8 and 10 per o. Mr. Caldwell without any douht, the most able I'rcsdleut the road ever had. Tho present itmuuibcnt has had charge of 'he road ajfce Mr Caldwell's resignation, and t .-hoas for itself how the road mansgtd. St. Matthews is f dorsed by many stockholders, one gentleumu employed as agent, who retired from business ou account of ill health, perhaps hjs con neetions can control a large v >to in the coming election. There is an* agency established in New York which must COrtt from tiftceu to twenty thousand dollars per attnum, which shou d be re duced. There are and have been certain agrnts at the head of the road who have received large salaries, and in return give very little service. Within a short petiod a certain ageut on the line of the road was a defaulter to the amount of several hundred doMar*, this agent ?till retained so the wr.ter is i.donned. The various stations ou tho* line of ? the road is sadly neglected, aud capo- , cially the one at Orangcburg, where j there ia not sufficient accommodation to transact the business properly and satis fy the just public demand. Tottis one of the most important staliolfrowt ~thw road. There is more freight received and shipped from this point than from any 1*0 way station* on tlic road. Be sides more ircight is charged by about 33 per cent , a dis'ance of 80 miles, than is charged ijt 130 miles, hence the patrons of this County are entitled to Seine consideration The company has also a land ageul who does not seem to be very sharp. This age: t sold a certain lot on the lino of road for 9)00. Somtime afterwards a lot in the same plase, not as valuable as the other, sold f< r 8350 through tho rgvney erf home oi the stockholders. It seems strenge that a Committee of the Hoard of llircetof* should make a report juit on the eve of the Convention, favorable to the present administration, This was never done before This com mittee sa. s: "The rcannw why the Georgia Kail Road ami {ranking Co. took a controlling interest in the Port Royal Road was because the Georgia K. K. Co. feared* that the S. C. R R. would pass iuto the hands of a Georgia party and be ruu in the internst of Georgia." The very re, rse is the case. The GcOrgha Road knowing how badly the South Carolina Road was nixuaged, they thought if Co thoir interest l make a eoonectiou with the Port llo;,al Road. This is ccrtaiuly a more reasonable con clusion to cmie to. It ia simply prepos terous that tho S. C. R. R. ean pass into the bands of a Georgia party, when the majority of tho stack is owned by our own people, furthermore the only way the road eau bo ruu to pay the stock holders is to run it as it will psy best, and tl at is what those parties who own stock in our road will do. The road never can be war bed* any other way as long as South Carolina holds the majori ty of the stock. They cry down Mr. James. This gentleman is a latge stockholder, and has sosno rights. He does not wioh to control the road, butf he is very desirous to have it so managed ae to pay the ?tookholders something. There is certainty- one great advantage in having parties in Georgia to have an interval in our road, for they will uae their influence to bring business to it It ia about lime thut the up country stockholders should- devote some atten tion to this great enterprise, inquire into the earnings of the road; and in what way tHe money is expanded'. I urgs the country stockholders not to allow any more dust thrown' into' their ejes. Th? Company hu to pay out largo sums of money in th? way of law suits ami couna?l fees, much of which could bo avoided by settling any just claim that ia presented. 1 know of one case which could have been fettled for 8140, but it was dragged through th? ?overal eourts until it cost 8G50. All these iucidentsl expenses, which must amount to n great deal, are charged to current expenses, aud the stockholders do uot kuow how their money goes. Wbeo Mr. W. E. Johnson, President of the Columbia and Augusta Road un dertook to finish that road, 'the S. C Rosd pitcbed right into him by com mencing a law suit to prevent him from running his road to Augusta. Mr. Johnson was more than a match for them, aud went triumphantly into Au gusts. This little sflair only cost the 8. C, R. R., the snug little sum of seventy thousaud dollars, (so I am im formed) and perhaps more. The stock of the Columbia and Angustia Road at that ii.no was 86 per share, with this 870,000, the 8. C, R R . could have purchased ll.COli shares of her slock, and would n.iw have con trol of the Road. This would have tees *? master atroke, by those who had it in their power to do so. I am ered ibly informed, that stn *kh<ddori who are known to be opposed te the Ring, hare on application at the o'Vicu been refused pamphlets, which contaiu th? names of all stockholders. Why is this arbitary course pursued, when the rerj stockholders have to pay for the prim ing of these pamphlets Should the stockholders be able to effect a change, aud have a now Board of Directors, Ac, Ac, matters ean cer tainly be no woise thin they are now, when the stoek is down to 824, (par 126), they may grow much be'tor, and it is their greet hop* that such will be the case. The Western and Atlantic R R.. 13S miles in length, is owued by ti e State of Georgia, it is now leased to a Company at the late if fifty thnusai.d dollars per mtvth. The stock of the Nashville and Chittnotga R. R., wis down to 38 (par 100). Since Mr E. \V. Cole in President ofthc Rosd, it has gone u pt ? 13. The Qcorgta R.

It does appear that the present adm atntratio.i his been fairly tried, aud found want ing, and a change is n-cc*?ary. Th stockholders should elect the best talent ?th'-V o.wi*lb..<i in ih? w/ntr, #u? w ?1 ha able to manage the Read, in such a manner as will result to the satisfaction of the Stockho!d r?.
