But the direction and force of the wiud and the tompersturs and horoscope of the wiather are safely and regularly fore told. Signal stations are erected at different points on the Sea Coast, and 1 mariners are told the morrow's storm or calm. Wow, this fore knowledge of the weather is to be applied and utilized for ngricuhual purposes and advantage. The Illinois Horticultural Society hare sent to Congress a memorial in which is the following paragraph : fdj^^do, therefore, respectfully ask that the appropriation for the bignal Service be so increased as to allow the establishment of stations of observation ia the large agricultural districts and such cxteiiMoii of the warning signals und other publications of results and information as the Chief Signal Officer may Cud feasible and useful to the agri cultural interests of the country." le not a grand Ounocption ? The. farmer will no longer talk of his crop in the future with the proviso, "if we have a good season." He will know in advance when it will rain, when it will be dry ; when to plant this, that aud the ether, when to plant it, how to plant and oultivatc it. Wendet ful.

In strongly advocating organisation on the p^fr&T|TBa farraeri it says: It wilt not be disputed that one man ship one hundred thousand buahols grsSaWrom a station per year at a lea cost than ten men can handle tho same amount. While theoue men might make ef comfortable living from one cent por bushel, either one of the too would starve upon two conts per bushel on each of the ten thousand. It is evident then, that the division of such busiuess at a shipping point is alwiys to tho farmer's diaadvsntage.

With an early start therefore a good ' bottom" orop is j almost certain?much more so than cither a "middle" or ''top" cr ?p. As young plants arc not so much affected by drought as old oua , a vnry late planted crop, insy sointimos pass u i . checked through a drought and make a a g*>od late crop, but the chances are in ferior to those of an early plau.ed ana. By the way of a quest inn ? Do our farmerstake these magazines? Or do they sty "Cant liud time to road ?" Or arc they opposed to ' book farming ?" '?Oh. pshaw!" we hero some old fel low say, ''What does book 1. rming amount to?" Well, now, what is book farming? When did this piejudice against reading artguate? It we go back twenty live years, when it was sup posedjthnt nodody b'lt a professional n.an could write for the papars, and when the first agricultural papers wore d?] endent. on the contributions of "theory men," there might be some reason to distrust tluirvalui. B it limes have changed some iu twenty five years Benders hare become thinkers; thinking losds to talking, and it bis been di?cov ered that a man who can talk can al>o write his talk; and as a result, our pa per to-day are filled with the cxpcri::i^o of practical men.

One acre well tilled will produc i more profit than three cultivated in the u?tul slip shod manner. This has been demon strated hundreds of times, and us* be come an sdoiitted truth ; yet the whole hind abounds with farmers too lazy, too ! negligent to study the m ore successful I method. The one thing needful to pro tect the farmer from the imposition of monopolies and elevate his calling to its proper position among the productive industries, is more reading.. Were tht Agiicalturil Societies to expend one half the present amount paid iu premiums, iu distributing amo ig the farmers of their respective counties the standard s^ricultuul papers, thvy woul I put in motion an induction fur goud which all ol their previous efforts have uever accomplished.

N." re turned to our town on Wednesday last, April 2d, and delivered a lecture. Fortunate Oruugcburg to be honored as the place in he- State where "J. N." delivered his firs! lecture; the place where he first "lifted the veil," and first met the "presaure.** '-J. N.'a" reoep tion her* was au ovation. The publie halls wer? placed at his disposal and business was closed at au earlier hour than usual to permit all to ae* and hear him, on whom the press had lavished such laudations. At < about 7} o'clock tho Firemen's Hall was abl?se with illumination and a vast concourse of our eitkeus eagerly hastened to enter and obtain seats. The hall was soon jammed and to use the immortal's owu language "as the Irishman said, it was full inside and full outside." At length "J. N." aroee and com menced the utterance of philosophy aud oratory of an immortal quality. The reil was lifted aud all eyes beheld entranced the philosophy and truth of our sectional diffareacea and detected the philosopher's stone that would "split tho difference." The pressure of prejudice and one. sided visieu was met aud overthrown. A chair w s placed npon the st >ge. A vacant chair, but the dramatic imagi nation of the orator filled it with a philosopher. Gcu. Grant entered and a sharp debate ensued. !t was sublime ventriloquism with the ventriloquism left out. It was imagery of terrific effect ivn power. It a as eloquence peo pling the room with beings, whoso presence waa jelt with artistic aud dramatic force of a spell. A master with the voice, tho thought, the action of theatrical oratory, called being* from absence aud from death, and bade them thrill the auditory with the startling developments of a philosophy that had attained tho troth of the difference, the remedy for the misunderstanding, the charity for the variance, the forgiveness for tho opposit'ou and the union for the alienation ! A long bench was placed athwart the rostrum. A bare bench, as if from a seliool house house io vacation, but the eagle flying imagination of the philoso pher seated a class upon it. The cUss sii catechised severely and responded most unanimously and appeared most friendly. The IJuica soldier, the Con federate soldier, the Democrat and the Republican each very politely said that hie opponent was "right tho way he looked at it." Profound philosophy ! "Each was right tha way he looked at it; all were wrong for looking at it as they did ; what they all wanted was somebody who had not looked et 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 the vctrtriloquial imagery, a statue secured" to rise, grand and towering pointing to n star where light beamed upon him from th* sog?) guarded precincts which are the hetbitalioo of truth. Upen? the statue nre gravon to characters of sun light "J. N." The state* irgifted with a voice, and the admitted oracle of Peace, its tones majestically 1 or*told the tnillentMUtn of Reconciliation. One trembled as the consummation of tho profound philosophy was attained by the sublime processes of rhetoric and logic ; and on* fait like "talking-off one's shoes" and worshipping as the ktg&t of tho trnth burst wpoa hi* view. The latter part of>thc lecture which was addressed to th* colored1 portion of C e audience was remarkably fiwe. The viewi were original aud lofty and were expressed in glowing terms of irresistib a conviction. "Neither army fought for emancipation." Freedom of the slaves was an accidental or providential result of the contest of botfV " "Th* relations between the Southern1 whites and blacks were tonder and- sacred 1 ' Every one, Lincoln included, who swore to pre* serve- the Union, swere to-perpetuate slavery, which was permittee nod recognized by the Constitution." "Let the colored) citizens of the Sou.h cherish none but t lie kindiest'feelings fbr the empty sleeve* and' crutches of tho Confederate." These were the aalient point* of the closing- portion of this memorable ?ec tore. "J. NY' veotrilo^ual^ricature j of '.he Cnioo-shriek era was feafriul. At the conclusion of the address!?, liberal contribution was handed tot "J. N." who, though immortal has somo mortal needs and wants.?

Tho So. Cm. Railroad. When Mr James Gadsden Ms Presi dent his salary was 83000 peJL annum, the present incumbent receives? 10,000 Mr. Gadsden's successor rcceivW $7000 per annum. He held office uutil 1854, when he resigned. Mr JohnjCaldwell thee took charge of the road, t was iu a very bad coudition at that tins. Mr. Caldwell pot it in good runnifc; order, managed the road exceedingly veil, aud piid the stockhol lers o dividmfd of 8 and 10 per o. Mr. Caldwull waf without ar?y douht, the most able Prcsuent the road ever had. Tho present incumbent lota had charge of the road sihoo Mr. Caldwell's resignation, and tnT result ?hows for itself how the road dnas been managed. St. Matthews is nRMy en dorsed by many stockholders. There it one gentleman employed as Traveling agent, who retired from business on account of ill health, perhaps lids con nections can control a large v.?te in the coming election. There is an. agency establislied in New York which must co.-t from tiftceu to twenty thousand ; dollars per annum, which shou d be re duced. There are and hare bren certain agents nt the head of the road who hare received large salaries, and in return give very little service. Within a short petiod a certain agent on the line of the road was a defaulter to the amount of several hundred do'lar?, this sgent is still retained so the writer is informed. The various stations on the* line of . the road is sadly neglected, aud cape- , cially the one at Orangcburg, where j there is not sufficient accommodation to transact tho business properly sod satis fy the just public demand. TJHds one of the most important statlollt^rTr -the rosd. There is more freight received and shipped front this point than from any two w.-iy Station? on the road. He sides more jreight is charged by about 33 per Ctut , a dis'ancs of 80 miles, than is charged ijt 130 miles, hence the patrons of this County are eotitlsd to feme consideration The company has also a land .tgCut 1 who does not seem to be very sharp. This sge: t sold a certain lot on the lino of road for 9100. So m time a ft ur wards a lot in the same plase, not as valuable as the other, sold f r ?359 through tho agency erf serue of the stockholders. It seems strange that a Committee of the Hoard of Pircetors should make a report ju.it on the eve of the Convention-, favorable to the present administration, This wss ear er done before This com mittee s* a : "The reason why the Georgia Kail Road ami Ba&king Co. took a controlling interest :n tho Port Royal Road was because the Georgia R. K. Co. feared that the S. C R. R. would pass iuto the hands of a Georgia party and be run in the interest of Georgia." The very reverse is the case. The Georgia Road knowing how badly the South Caroliua Road was managed, they thought it Co their interest to make a connection with lbs Port Royal Rosd. This is certainly a more reasonable con clusion to ernte to. It is simply prepos terous that tho S. C. R. R. ean pass iato ; the hands of a Georgia party, when the majority of the steck is owned by our own people, furthermore the only way the road eau be 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 werhed> any other wsy as long as South Carolina holds the majori ty of the stock. They cry down Mr. Jame*. This gentleman is a huge stockholder, aud has some rights. He does not wish to control the road, but* he is very desirous to have it so managed ante pay the stockholders something. There is certainty one great* advantage in having parties in Georgia to have an interest iu our road, fur they will use t.jeir influence to briug business to it. It is about time thut the up eoeotry slock IioldV. rs should- devote some atten tion to this great enterprise, inquire into the earnings of the road1, and1 in what way tlie money if expended*. r< urge the country stockholders-not to allow any more dust threw*' into their ejet. Th? Company has to pay out largo sqruv oi money in the way of law suite and counsel fees, mach of which could be avoided by settling any just claim that is presented. 1 kaow of one case which could have been settled for 8140, but it was dragged through the ?everal courts until it cost SG50. All these incidental expense*, which must amount to a grest deal, are charged to current expenses, aud the stockholders do nut know how their mousy goes. When Mr. VY. ?. Johuson, President of the Columbia and Augusta Hosd un dertook to finish that road, 'the S. C Road pitched right into him by com mencing a law suit to prevent him from running his road to Augusta. Mr. Johuson was more than a match for them, aud went triumphantly into Au gusta. This little affair only cost the 8. C, II. It., the snug little sum of seventy thousand dollars, (so I am i informell) and perhaps more. The stock of the Columbia and Augustia lload ut that timo was 86 par share, with this 870,000, tho 8. C, R R . could have purchased 11 .GOG sharea of her stock, and would n >w have con trol of the Koad. This would have teen *? master stroke, by those who had it in their power to do so. I am cred ibly informed, that sto *kholden who are known to be opposed to the Ring, have on application at the office been refused pamphlets, which contain th? names of all stockholders. Why is this arbitary course pursued, when the vory >tockholders have to pay for tho print ing of these pamphlets Should the stockholders bo able to effect a change, aud have a new Beard of IHrcotors, Sec, &c, matters ean cer tainly be no wotse th in they are now, when the stock is down to 824, (par 126), they may grow much bs'ter, and it is tbeir great hope that such will be the case. The Western aud Atlantic r r.. 138 miles in length, is owned by the State of Goorgin, it is now leased to a Company at the late of fifty (houaai.d dollars per mivth. The stock of the Nashville end ChtttnO'tga ii. r., wm down to 38 (par 100). Since Mr E. W. Cole is President of the Kuad.it has gone u pt i 7j.

The S C r. r., has earned s ven million of dulLrs, iu seven years, a d with proper management might have e.rncd sc vet a 1 million.* m -re. It doe* appear that the present adm atatratio-i h is been fairly tried, aud found want ing, aud a change is n-cc.nary. TU ttuckholders should elect tho best talent Th't rotund in ?he-ooitfittj, -Abet w i4 be able to manage the Head, in such a mnnncr as will result to the satisfaction of the stockho'd r?.
