Forth from Its sabbiard. pure And bright, Flashed the sword of Lee Far In the front of the deadly fight. liigh o'er the brave in the catuse of right, its stainless sheete, like a beacon light, Led us to victory. Out of its scabbard, where full long It slumbered peacefully 11oused from its rvst by he batf tle song, . laielditng the feeble, smiting the strong, Guarding tle right, ivengirg the wrong Gleamed the sword of Lee I Forth from its seab:trdl, hlth in air, Beneath Virginia's sky An i they who saw it gleaming there And knew who bore it. knelt to swear That where thal sword led, they would darc ro follow and to die. Out cf its scabsbr.i. never hand Waved Rword fron stain as fre.i, Por puter eword led braver baud, Nor braver bled for a brighter land, Nor biighter land hl a it icause ns grr.td, Nor cause a chief like Lee! Spetrh of lonorable Horace Capron. ly firetocunsel would be'-practic a rentorative. instead of an exbaustive system of .griculture. A sastetm thut envolves abandonment of lands, and retnuval to new scent., is unworthy of age, aud a reproach tu modern. oivili. 34tion. No man is worthy to be a ftrmer who does tit antnually leave his land in better t,LI h and strength than lie ftuud it. The intelleut must share mo.re hagely with umu'sele the toil of syricult tre ; machiuery dirceted by skilled labor, awl propelled by brute fteco, and also by the unighty power ol Stesu, u.,t t.,ke the place of expen sive and ieoffioIlent human strength. Thin change, as I abaid in this State a year ago, "involves the necessity for emaller tarms, bettpr.,culture, liberal - ~use of mianure, rotation in cropa, and a larger working capital in proportiot to peimanent invetment. You are already spending millions annually ot, the old lands of the Atlantic S.tet for commercial fertilizers. While I would commend a judioious expendi. ture in this direction, I would niake this a basis .of a practical rotation with a coui se of grasses and other res. torative agencies of scientific agricul ture. The butiness of Agriculture should be an industry and not a spee. ulation. The insane pursuit of special. ities has long been a curse to A tmerien agriculture. A whole community runts wild upon hops, when selling at flfty cents per pound, and in two years they are scorcely worth the price o picking, and extravagance begotten ol high expectations is forthwith follow. ed by bankruptoy. Whent bringstwo dollars per bushel, and whole States become wheatfields, while every other interest languishes, until the bread crop becomes so abundant as to fed to swine in preference to shipment for human food. The sheep, with * wool at one dollar per pound, holds high placee in popular esteem ; but is kicked from the pasture by evecry Randolph of the farm at tue flest, in dication of a heavy decline in thet - value of its fleece. In your section, cotton, a great boon to your agricul. ture .as a constituent In your aggre. gate of production, may becomie an unmitigated evil if left to usurp the place of all etheroropas. The crop oi last year prQduced a hundred millhion of dollars more than onse,'flty per ciii, largear tean years ago. Three millions of bades nmay command a profit of $40 per bale, while five nail hanst may not bring a dollar above their cost. But present profit is not the moain considlerattion. The increase ,9In value and enlargement ot the pro Sductive capacity of the sil, bya judioious rotation, including the res to rative it.fluenoes of green cropping 'I and etdte feeding, in an inacreaso cl capital, a source oft larger annual in come, tan addition to the inhecritanet of one's children, It not only insuret a prolit froma cotton culture, but en. ables the planter to pocket the entire proceeds of its sale, other products feeding min and beast. This leada i.. ne to another word of conns~el name ly: : PRODUCE MOnE AND BUY LESS. As an Individual groiws rich b what he saves rather than by what he mksoa communit y thriven by the the extent of its halts, flow oftete has the money received for a crop o1 cotton tailed to discharge indot ted. neos Incurred fior all other supiplies.j Ilow many planatiolns have beem mortgaged to seoure such debts '1 The day wrill comne, If wise counsel sI h) eteded, whoa the produots .of cottor will be all surplus, other produota i paying the expunse of the farm. t 'have received, officiailly abundont S testimony from individual success and ~Jfailures, of the superior profits o1 mixed husbandry with cotton, I an positive in th1( ~nviction that the permanent prosperity of thete States depontds upjoa a u.ore diversified agriculture. W hile it is true that a large cotton orop may produce actual - ly lees money than a small one, no asae man will question the political economy which adds to this source of revenue manay others, which together make an aggiegate many times lar ger. For sonhc years to come the cotton manuf eturus of the wiorld cannot con tribute to the indubtry of these States more than two or three hundied mil liottuf dollars per annum; while the total production with the variety required to realize the highct capabil-I ities of soil and climate, should comn mand a thousand millious, and two thousand might be obtained within a period of ten years, if the whole popu ationD, with recruits from other States and from Europe should unite all their efforts and their industry for the accomIplilinet of so grand an object. The combined value of all rther products is even now inaterially laiger than the value of cotton, but the proport ion Ahould be increased till it shall at least stand five to one. The cheapebt beef and cheapest wool produced in the country are now the product of the grasees of the gulf Sta te.. The annual sales of animal products should soion lie made to exeeed great ly tbo value of the cotton crop. The wine industry of France produces three hundred millions of dollars an nually, and supports a population of six millions ; then why should not your sunny slopes, best suited to wine production of any section of the con tine:nt east of the Rock Mountain., Comp.te with the foreign vineyards, at least in our own markets I There is no reason why we shnuld smnd abroad for a pound of sugar, hough home production was last year but ten per cent. of the consump. tion, when Louisiana alone has suffi eient ar<a to supply the pr. sent wants of the country. Your fiuits in won dorful %ariety, including those of the Iropios, the pordnets of whieh figure largely in our iupoits, should annual ly add millions of dollars to the wealth of the coubtry. Scores (.f new an-] useful plants should be added to thke Yet of those alieady la cultivation. I am yearly adding many, through the Department of Agriculture, among the tost promnisinag of %fhich, the present season, are the corchorue (or jutt.) and the cinchona, which yields the quinine. I chall continue the cx poriments of acclimitizatian, hoping to render you material aid in your efforts in divemsifying your agrieultu. rl industry. In close connection with this idea of variety of product Ion permit ine to present my third item of coun..el. MANUEACTURE YOUR OWN COTTON. If England, by the magic of labor, can make a dollar's worth of your cot' tonl produce two dollar ,and if France by still more delicate manipulation, can make it yield three, why should not your people with willing hands to work, and abiumlait water and fuel for power ma uf'acture a large portion of your cri), it, least into yarns and aid coarse iabrics 7 and thus add to the annual value o- your indutries a hundacol millions maore. Thus you may save freight storage, commissions the profit of manufacture, and build loeal markets to consumne more o the edible products of your agriculture. Here in Augusta you have finished a notable illustration of the feasibili ty and profit of manufactring, j i a enterprise of magnifieent proportions, t wo-thirds of the capital of which lhas come from its owu not earnings. You have already other similar works, and should establish themi itn every direc tion, enlarging them from their own profit, unitil a large share of your cot ton shall be nmnufactured within your own borders. Manufacture is allied to Agrioul ture, while eommerce is an expensive n on-produtctive go-between. There 'are low inteorests of agriculture which do not involve manufacture. In dairy fan ming, milk is sold with no aid of manufacture, execept as it is "extended" by'aid of the pump, but* cheese and butter are the products of manufacture, whtieh last year yielded 1the value of two hundred and forty six millions of dollars. Flax and hemp can only reach the market: through certain processes of manu facture ; .wheat must be thrashed,, corn shelled ; hops, carefully kilo.. !dried ; so with many other crops; indeed the farmer must necessarily be a manufacturer. High farmiog is always and only found in connection with manufaoturing skill In extending the raw products of agrIoulture ; and no purely agricultural nation can ex peet to attain wealth, a high state of civilization or great political power. IThese are facts which should be care fully pondered, and promptly acted upon. Wh' y Is not the South toeday the great manufacturing sectioh of the country ? It Is far better adapted to nsuch an Industry than any other sso tion. The answer may be found, rn a paragraph from a former o.'llIal s~ttement emarnaing frotu the . De partmneat of Agriculture relating to this section: "The paato nprgreu kas baes sq-ially open to all ; laws supposed to f.var a diversified induotry have been applicable to all States alike ; the beat water power and chapest coal are in States that make no extensive use ofeither ; middle olimated, and supeiior facilities for chet-p transpor tation have furnished advantages that have not been trannmauted into net prontit ; and yet such coranmunities, daIly inflicting irreparable injury upon theuraelves, by neglecting the gifts of God and el-uruing the labor of man, are wont to deem themselves it-jured by the prosperity fiwinsg from superior iudubtry, and a practi cal economv " As a cbsing suggestion-one in which the whole future prosperity of your States is involved in an ernent degree-pormit me to implote you GlvlI. PROFITABLI LABOR TO ALL YOUR PEOPLE. Depend not upon the coolies of China, or the people of Eurol.c, until all your people, of whatever color, condition or capacity, have fu-ll em ployment for mind and wusele in de veloping the wonderful capabilities under your control. The practical question of the day is not where ahall we procure more labor but, rather how can we utilize atid profitably employ the varied capacities, Lastes and inventive powers of every individual of our preent population ? What can each accomplh with the be.t re-,ilts I Wha.t can te done for the em ploymentor men practised in no skillful employment I What for indigent women, nnd even childrtn, dependent upon their own exertions for subsistence, fur an education and rdvanced sLoclal pobitions? The State that firnis.hes employment for every eon and daughter, labor suited to every capacity and taste, heavy toil for the unskilled and plodding, dexterous and delicate manipulation for the artistic, effort with soul in it, for the i-steilcotual, will become In stinot with life, energy, progress, wealth and contortntot. Then labor will be cheerful, toil a pleasure, and its benificent resulti enhanced be. youd the highest expectation. Such results can never follow the practice of a few rude itidustries. It is only a truism to say that tie wealth of a country is the aggregate of its labor beyond its requirements for subsistenee. Yet the truth of the saying is not sunfiently realized. The hirgest results in ae-ut.nmulation can therefore, - only be obtained by becuring thie best and mnott effle:ive efforts of every individual. All must unite, then, and with heart and will, mind and musc'e, e mtribute to the great end of enriching beautifying aid blessing thi-, glorious land. I amn satisfied that a ne w era is daw ning, that the rule of one idea is weak, and that the divereifiotion of production has already commituenced opening a career of activity and a vitta of beauty unwitnessed in the brightest day of thi. nation. Notwithstanding all his bluster Wenedell Phillips is endowed with elear and piercing insight. Tile inn. pelling causes, the driht and the pro bable results of current events, are distinely discerned by him. ' So, too, are the charaoteriatics of the men who now figure promrinently and ae tively in polities. His declarations that Grant is the atrongeost man in the country to-day ; that hes has the char acter and the average brain which rep. reunts the loyalty and intelligenco of tire Ameorican people ; that he can nnke sure of that confidence from the people which moans that they believe the honor and the, interests of the na tion are safe in his hands ; that lie answers to the desoriptiou of the man who is the successful one because he refleots the sentiments of the largest number and keeps ina the front rank; that he6 hut ahown great judgment, and, above all, has~ maintained for the colored people a steadfast frendship, when numerous promrinent members of this~ party shirked their duty ; that his strong conmmnon sense,.uniuted to a firm will and~ a true patriotic spirit, ha, held him straigh t to the line of duly the peeople desired ho should pursue ; butt that lie is not supportod by a Congress which is selfish and diriv oiling, does not interpret the wants and aspirations of the country, deals ini jobs, has no broad polioy and is inscomensurate with tire growth and intelligence of the country-all these declarations of Wendell Phillips will, doubtless, be endorsed by the Amern can people as emuphiaticailly true.-N.

We were within a short dibtance of him when the hor. rible accident which deprived him of a life so Auddenly took place. M r. Kenny had just fnished a gallant run at the head and rings, and was riding back to the starting point in company with Mr. Hightower, of Griffin, a brother knight when, in a friendly spirit of euulation, both engaged in a race fora short distance. Mr.;Kenny was riding a very wild horse and when near the point where the horses of the waiting knights were grouped, a loose horse ran %aross the track. Mr. Hightower's horse collided with the animal, and he was thrown from his horse, severely injuring himseir. Mr Kenny's horse shied, and rau with fearful force agairnsit the fence, throwing his rider over it down the embankment. Mr. Kunny atruck with his head against a stump, whiebh inflioted a deep and fatal wound o er the left eye, fracturing hic skull, and producing death in about thrte mninutes. When Dr. Godfrey hurried to the spot he found the heart still beating, but all attempts to save his life failed.
