True "Wealtii?Our Lands. ?^'Froritim^exc^Gdmgly well-timed article in the" Milledgeville (Ga.) Beeorder, we make the following extracts, and recom? mend our people to peruse them carefully: ? ? The great. advantage the South has. over the North, is in its soil and ..climate; and; necessarily, "its. productions. " It is the productions of our soil. that makes the South great and important,'and the Union- valuable; and very necessary t? the ?wealth of the North. Bat to. the point.we-w.is?-f?-present to theminds of our people.. *We wish to im? press them with the'truth?that our soil, with, its fertility, and productions, is the only wealth that will never fail, ho mat? ter whether, amid revolutions, civil com? motions, or anarchy. He who tills the soil and whose wealth is. in the soilcan ever be independent. As femarked-in the foregoing part of this article, it is our pro? ductions that give us wealth, importance . and position ;, and the richer ..the. soil, the .more the-productions, the greater.our wealtl::.- ,"' '? " '? ? Wis2 economy; then^onld suggest the importance of preserving Our soil, and en? riching it yearly, by preventing washes and adding, manures. We; address our? selves .particularly in this article to the people of- Georgia, and more especially, to Middle Georgia-. Our old system of farm? ing", and the cheapness of lands in years i past, iavited a careless method; and if a ] planter made good crops on his rich lands, V and grew-rich,-he was indifferent as to the wear and tear of that land. Cheap he got it,, and as cheap lay out westward of him, and as plantation after.plantation was par .tiaiiy^xhansted^&new one _was opened, and thus the system of the destruction of the material wealth of the State went on. In the language of a former planter of Baldwin, but now of Alabama,, upon are turn to his old country to see old friends .and to look at his old homo, after years of - absence, he remarked, "that he got rich by making rich land poor," and langhed at ; his old friends for cultivating poor land that been worn out. Our old friend .was a fair sample of Georgia planters thirty, and forty years ago; they grew rich, and that rapidly, but at the expense of rich land. ; Times have changed in the last quarter of a century, and wonderfully so in the last few years; new ideas, views and feel " ? ;dhgs have, taken the place of many precon? ceived opinions and notions. With the ex? tinction of slavery will come the extinc? tion of big plantations and reckless culti? vation. So longer will the planter turn his face westward, with a regiment of ne? groes or less, with the determination to open fresh land. . No longer will one or two thousand acres of land bo held as idle capital, to be brought into requisition as soon as that: adjoining is worn out. Those ideas are buried with the past and slavery; they sleep in the same tomb, and will only be resurrected with the restora? tion of slavo labor, which will never be again in Georgia. ? Small farms, well cultivated, well ma? nured, woll worked, and well looked after will hereafter pay the owner. One hun? dred acres well manured, with fertilizers ? ot the~day,.will produce more-than three Hundred worked on the old system. The ?richer ? farmer can make his land, the greater the value, and less the labor to cultivate it, and the surer the crops. Here we would suggest that drill planting 33 the best if manure is to be economized. -Drill the manure aBd drill the grain, and nothingisiost. A farm that has ? "hundred acres""well manured is worth more than one of three or five"hundred unmanured, and that will, .. . bring only, from eight to ten bushels to j the acre. It iseconomy in point of labor, ' saving, wear and tear, and giving a heavy yield. The: old worn out red lands of Mid? dle Georgia, with proper attention,, could . in a few years be made to yield handsome? ly with manure well applied, and pay a good dividend for tho labor bestowed. With the railroad facilities in' the State there is no necessity for the old men, and; the settled-men, to-be casting about for new homos and fresh land. Here we have settled'society?quiet and peace?family . - ties and pleasant associations. AH that is wanted; iu determined energy, less land ' cultivated"; but well" manured*. Markets are cohveaient; no diseases of an epidem? ic character keeps our people alarmed; ,110/decaying matter t?: breed malaria; no country more inviting. Make oar old lands once more produc? tive, and wo'will have secured to our? selves and our children a source of wealth that fire and sword cannot destroy. . 'Souses may burn down, stocks become invaluable, factories run down, railroads non-paying; but rich land, a well cultiva? ted farm, will ever be valuable as long as there is sunshine and rain, and man and beast live upon the productions of the soil. We publish the above, thinking it ap? plicable to the citizens of South Carolina, as well as to those of Georgia. It is true that our wealth lies in our lands, and we can never be a prosperous and happy peo? ple, as we have been, without going to work and improving our lands. -???-? ToKee? Hams Through Summer.? After your haras have taken salt, bang them up and smoke them well, then take : down asd dip them in boiling water for a -few seconds, that will kill all the eggs of insects, if there should be any on them, their- roll them' in dry ashes while wet, and bang them up again; smoke more if you choose. I know this to be a good way to Seep thera, for I have tried it for two or three years; it is cheaper than canvass? ing-, and a, great deal better. This will do also far shoulders- and sides. ThoBe that do their bacon in this way, will nev? er have any bugs or skippers on their meat. -e? Cube por Neuralgia.?We have, if we mistake not, already published :tho following recipe. We have, sayB the Harrisburg Union, heard it highly recom? mended. a,nd it will do no harm to again publish it: "Take two largo tablespoonsful of co? logne, two tablespoonsful of fine salt, and imx them together in a small bottle; ev :erytime you have any acute affection of the nerves, or neuralgia, simply breathe, the fumes in your nose from the bottle and you will bo immediately relieved." ' - -Young Men on tne Farm. The ""Southern Planter" collects some statistics showing that there are about nine million Seres of improved and eleven million, acres of unimproved; lands in the State of Virginia; and that there are a little more than one- hundred thousand male laborers?that is between the ago of twelve and sixty years. Hence, there is only one laborer to about eighty-eight acres of improved and arable land in the State-. The deficiency of labor; as com? pared with the neods of the agriculturist, is enormous! Where, says the "Planter," shall we find the remedy ? "It is plainly, the. duty of our young men to meet their pressing exigency. They constitute the only remaining re? source for the immediate supply of any considerable amount of labor. Let them strip themselves for the conflict; let them "roll up their sleeves," and "gird np their loir/8,'j for the noble work of resuscitating Virginia from her present paralyzed and prostrate condition; let them labor with the same self-denial and indomitable courago and perseverance with which they went forth to meet' her assailants in the stern conflicts of the battlefield, and the work will soon be accomplished. Tho openingofor the employment of our young men in their accustomed occupations are all filled to repletion, and there yet re? mains a large number without employ? ment To continue in idleness?demor alhing and enervating idleness?is a thing to be abhorred by every ingenuous, high minded, honorable young man, and to eat the bread of dependence ought to be more galling to his pride than the performance of comparatively menial duties, if such were necessarily to be encountered, in pursuing the very laudable object of ob? taining for himself an honest livelihood and in promoting with patriotic ardor and disinterest doss the honor and pros? perity of-the State. But no such humilia? tion awaits onr young men. They will rather contribute honor and dignity to their calling, and bring to their aid an array of educated intelligence which will greatly accelerate the march of improve? ment. They will Boon .acquire, a degree of practical skill, which, aided by their superior knowledge, will guide them in the introduction and management of such mechanical helps as their own enlightened experience may suggest, or the inventive genius of the country may supply, and thus contribute to lighten the burden cf human toil, remit the mind from the drudgery of debasing labor, and elevate it into the more ennobling spheres of ac? tivity, where accretion of strength is gained by the exercise of its powers, and where it succesfully conserves the pro? gress of society in civilization, wealth and social happiness. -?-? jFarm Work for August. ? The lateness of the Spring has thrown farm-work much behind where it usually is at this season of the year. From the. succession of late springs, we are led to infer that our seasons are rapidly under? going a change. Our oldest inhabitants can easily remombor when corn was planted in February. Various hypothe? ses have been offered for this change, as for example that all the woodland has been cat down, or that the Gulf Stream is removing farther east,-or that some changes aro taking place in the Arctic Ocean, &c, but with this we are not at present concerned. Cotton has not yet all been laid by, and when the ploughs are put into it, they should be very carefully handled so as not to. break the branches or stir the ground to? mach about the roots. Grass Should still be kept down, though the cot? ton has in most places outgrown it. In Greece and Southern Italy, it is the cus? tom of farmers to top the cotton so as to stop its growth, and bring it to bearing sooner, so that a full crop might bo had before the early frost. We have never seen this tried here, but would be glad if some would experiment on it. As tho bolls ripen, have the cotton picked as soon as a hand can pick 40 or 50 lbs. a day, as this quality of cotton brings the highest price in the market. -1 This is the month for fodder pulling. All who can save hay should do it in pre? ference, as fodder pulling is the most use? less part of farm-work; for if the corn is left to ripen with the blades untouched, it will weigh as many pounds as the corn and fodder together, if tho latter be gath? ered. Farmers should, thereforo, give particular attention to raising grasses, and let fodder go. "Whore the corn is small, cut up the corn at tho root and dry for long forago. Sweet Potatoes, such as have not been laid by, ought to receive one last deep working. Keep grass down until tho vines cover tho ground. Ground-peas ought to be earthed np and laid by. Covering the blossoms as they appear, increases their productive? ness. As you now have a little leisure time, pay attention to getting your barns and gin-houses ready for tho approaching harvest. Haul up and house wood for winter. Work on your compost heaps for grain land. Break up for wheat. &c. In fact a great variety of work presents itself.?Farm and Garden. Affection of a Child and a Cat.? The affection of the domestic cat, (barring the proclivity and capacity for rat and mouse catching) is probably the predom? inating characteristic of the nature of that animal. But, in the great majority of instances, pussy is a general lover, jumping from lap to lap, purring her love to one and then another, and nestling and stroking herself upon each one of the family alike. A friend has given us some particulars of the undivided affection existing between a little girl about six years of age, residing in tho District, and a cat, which are full of singular simplicity and innocent inter? est. The child and cat keep each others' company, day and night, eating and sleep? ing together. The cat rarely leaves the child, and then, it seems, only in search of food, which, when it has obtained, it brings and places by tho side of fts friend, as though inviting her to partake of it._ Sumter Watchman. To Wash Calico Without Fading.? Infuse throe gills of salt in four quarts of water; put tho calico in while hot and leave it till cold, and in this way tho colors are rendered permanent, and will not fade by subsequent washing. J European Immigration, General Wagener's able address is re published, in fuir in DeBow'sV Review "for June, and'the editors introduce it "with, the following ".omplimentary remarks: South Carolina is foremost in encourag? ing foreign immigration, and the State is fortunate in having such a citizen as Gen? eral Jno. A. Wagener to interpret between her and the hardy German element she seeks to introduce within her borders. He enters upon the duties of his office as Com? missioner of Immigration for the State, with a full knowledge of the difficulties to be overcome, the obstacles to be surmount? ed, and the opposition he will have to en? counter ; but, his ready intelligence has promptly devised the means which, with practical energy, he has already applied and iSfrected to insure success. The meas? ures adopted, embrace thorough ventilla tion of the subject at home, by public meetings and discussions, and by the form? ation of societies in each District, to push forward by such means as the land-owners can alone employ, this great movement. Abroad, his agents are already active in distributing a pamphlet, in which he has ably set forth the inducements and en? couragements which are offered to the set? tler at the South, and-particularly in South Carolina, and these' agents. will - promptly advise what further steps will be necessa? ry to accomplish the ends in view. General Wagener has no easy task be? fore him. Aside from the opposition he will encounter in his efforts to direct the tide of immigration from its accustomed channels, at the very outset of his duties, he will meet with a perplexing difficulty at home, calculated to defeat the wisest measures of relief unless speedily over? come. We allude to the tenacity with which the large land-owner clings to his useless, idle, surplus acres. Millions of acres of rich farm lands lie fallow in the South, which might be given away to ad? vantage. At all e yents, let a system of prices?not simply low as compared with ante-bellum values, but rivaling in cheap? ness the prairie lands of the far West?let such a system of low prices, and easy terms obtain, as it should in the altered condition of affairs* and spots now deso? late and neglected will, in a few years, answer greatly to honest toil, while the lands reserved will have acquired by the operations of a well known law, a double value. Caution" to Advertisers.?If you have anything to sell, be very careful how you advertise, unless you have at the same time a large supply, for you are very apt to be imposed upon by the public's eager? ness, and be overwhelmed. We are in? duced to give this warning, by what one of our cotemporaries says about his unfor? tunate condition last week. He had not quite filled out his colnmn, and wanted a line to finish it. After thinking what he would put in, it struck him that a few blackberries at home would be agreeable, so he filled tfp with, "Blackberries wanted at this office." Imprudent and unfortu? nate man! Darkies and blackberries, swarmed him next day, and he had to move his office. Another example. A gentleman the other day came in and informed us that he had lost a saddle and bridle the night be? fore, and asked us what he should do. We said advertise, of course. He wrote out a notice, offered a reward, paid down his money, and by the time he got back to his house his saddle was there. The adver? tisement hadn't even been published. Again. A friend ventured a short time ago to inform the public through our col? umns, that he wanted wool, and what's the consequence ? People have been trying ever since to pull wool over his eyes. In Massachusetts the other day, a man advertised for .a wife; he had to get the express wagon to deliver letters .for him at his door; he picked out an inviting Dul cinea from among the herd of spinsters, and put another notice in the paper refus? ing all other applications for the present, but would take what he had into conside? ration. Again, and finally. An army officer tho other day lost his dog, and after calculat? ing the exoense of advertising for a long time, he "guessed" he would advertise. He offered $100 reward. A gentleman sent in information of the locality of the pro? perty ; officer went and got the dog, didn't remember the reward offered, but has gone off West to get his reward, we hope, when the red man gets hold of him by the hair. He paid the printer, however, and that may save his scalp. Mind how you advertise.?Orangeburg Times. ?-o The Last Resort.?An exchange says : A lady of our acquaintance, young and intelligent, called on a celebrated physi? cian to do "something" for a rush of blood to tho head. "I have been doctoring mysoll," said the languid fair one, with a smilo, to the bluff though kind M. D., while he was feeling her pulse. "Why, I have taken Brandreth's Pills, Sand's Sarsaparilla, Jayne's Expectorant, and? "My Heavens! madam," exclaimed the astonished doctor, "all those do your com? plaint no good!" "No!?then whall shall I take?" pet? tishly inquired the patient. "Take!" exclaimed the doctor, eyeing her from head to foot?"take !" exclaimed he, after a moment's reflection, "Why, take off your corsets!" -*-~? ? A young lawer was examining a bank? rupt as to how he had spent his money.? There were about two thousand pounds un? accounted for, when the attorney put on a severe, scrutinizing face and exclaimed, with much self-complacency. ".Now, sir, I want you to tell this court and jury how you used those two thousand pounds." . The bankrupt put on a serio-comic face winked at the audience, and exclaimed: "The lawyers got that!" The judge and audience were convulsed with laughter, and the counseller was glad to let the bankrupt go. .-o ? "Ven you're a married man, Sammy, you'll understand a great many things you don't understand now: but vetnerits vorth vile going through so much to learn so little, as the charity boy said when he got to the end of the alphabet, is a matter of taste."?Pickwick. The Revolution.?The New York Journal of Commerce predicts that either there will be a reaction in this country or an advance of revolution, for we have not yet reached an abiding place where the country can rest. It holds that the men who are responsible for the hazardous ex? periment now making must finish their work, or they will bo hurled ignominious ly from power and crushed in the undoing of that which they have attempted. They understand this, and here lies the danger. The Journal says it is really difficult to determine the strength of the hold which the revolution has upon the popular mind, and it remains to be seen how much fur? ther the country will go with them with? out fear of reaction. It is plain that the right which they claim to do whatever they determine shall be done without re? straint or limit, cannot bo permanent, and can only be adopted as a means to an end, and when that is reached, who shall guard the actors themselves from the spirit they have invoked ? In the outwoking of this principle, adds our contemporary, is the grand hope of those who look for an ?ar ly restoration of the supremacy of the Constitution, for when those who have substituted their own will for the fundamental law are brought to face the exercise of this authority by an? other hand, and compelled to bow their necks to the tyrant they have enthroned, their eyes will be opened to tho error they have committed, and they will be the first to clamor for present freedom and future safety in a restoration of the checks they despised in the wantonness of their power. In the meantime, while there may, and doubtless will be, cases of individual suffering and oppression, the Journal does not look for what many ap? prehend, a series of wrongs and cruelties towards those whose legal rights are thus held in abeyance. If the reaction antici? pated does not come, the organic change in our system still to be made will leave us no vestige of the institutions once deemed so essential to the very existence of the Republic. Story with a moral.?When Gen. Jackson was moving on to strike McClell an's flank on the Cbickahominy, he came to a stream which had no bridge, and could not he crossed without one. The general had "brought with him from the Valley a rough, uneducated man full of energy, who had served him in emergencies, and in whom he had the utmost confidence. He called this man and told him that stream must be bridged immediately; the regular eaginecrs were also advised of the fact. In short time the rough carpenter and the polished men of science were at the stream; the former had hu plan, the latter theirs; he wished to go at the work at once with? out drawings, but they objected until they could perfect plans on paper. The engi? neers retired to their tent to perfect a paper bridge; the carpenter took his nieu and went to work at once to make a real one. In a very short time he appeared at the general's tent, and reported, briefly, thus: "General, that bridge is done, but thorn pictures ain't come yet." This story Las a moral that all our readers can discover. ?-?t> ? Education does not commence with the alphabet. It begins with a mother's love?with a father's smile of approbation, or a sign of reproof?with a sister's gentle forbearance?with a handful of flowers in a green and dainty meadow with bird's nests admired but not touched with creep? ing ants and almost imperceptible emmets with pleasant walks in shady lanes, and with thoughts directed in sweet and kind? ly tones and words to nature, to acts of benevolence, to deeds of virtue and to the source of all good, to God himself. ? "I have heard," once said Sir Walter Scott, "higher sentiments from the lips of poor, uneducated women, when exercising the spirit of severe yet gentle heroism un? der difficulties and afflictions, or when speaking their thoughts as to the circum? stances in the lot of friends and neighbors, than I have ever heard from cultivated minds, or met with outside of the pages of the Bible." ? "Grandma, do you know why I can see up the sky so far?" asked Charley, a little four year old, of a venerable lady, ! who sat on the garden seat knitting. "No, my dear. "Why is it ?" said grandma, bending her ear, eager to catch and remem? ber the wise saying of her little pet. "Be causo there is nothing in the way," replied the young philosopher, resuming his as? tronomical search, and grandma ner knit? ting. ? A scholar, a bald man, and a barber who were traveling together, agreed each to watch fours at night, in turn, for the sake of security. The barber's lot came first, who shaved the scholar's head when asleep, then waked him when his turn came. The scholar scratching, his head, and feeling it bald, exclaimed: "You wretch of a barber you have waked the bald man instead of me." ? The line of conduct chosen by a young man during the five years from fifteen to twenty, will in all probability determine his character for life. As he is then care? ful or careless, pruedent or imprudent, in? dustrious or indolent, truthful or dissimu? lating, intelligent or ignorant, temperate or dissolute, so will he be iu after years, and it needs no prophet to calculate his chances of life. ? "See here!" exclaimed a returned Irish soldier to a gaping crowd as he exhibited with some pride hiB tall hat with a bullet hole through it, "Look at that hole, will you ? You see if it had been a low crowned hat, I should have been killed outright." ? A teacher in Springfield, Mass., while conducting an examination, asked among other questions the following: "Why is the pronoun 'she' applied to a ship ?" To which one of the boys rendered the fol? lowing answer: "Because the rigging costs more than the hull." ? A cultivator was espied by a party of Nashville negroes, when one said: "A man jist sit on dat ting an' ride while he's plowing." "Golly," said another, "de ras? cals was too sharp to think o' dat fore the nigger was sot free." ? A country editor describing the bon? nets now in fashion, says: They have a downward slant that reminds one of a vicious cow with a board across her eyes. ? There are two things in this world which a man does not often find away from home: The first is good soup; the second is disinterested love. ? A young lady who fainted at the "bare idea" was seen covering up her nak? ed eye. , ? Our devil says that when you see a young man and woman walking down streety leaning against each other like a pair of badly matched oxen, it is a pret? ty good 6ign they are bent on consolida? tion. ? An editor ?ays the most effectual way to win his everlasting grattitude and remembrance, this hot weather, is to send him watermelons. ? "My lad," said a lady to a boy car? rying a mail bag, "are you a mail boy?" "You doesn't think I'm a female boy; does you?" ? Bob, is that dog of yours a pointer? No, he is half hunter and half setter; he hunts for bones when he is hungry, and sits by the stove when he is satisfied. ? Advertising for a wife, says a contem? porary, is just as absurd as it would be to get measured for. an umbrella. ? Brownlow says he sleeps with a quiet conscience. Then his consicience has a dirty bedfellow. WHOLESALE DRY GOODS HOUSE THE Wholesale Dry Goods Business heretofore conducted in the name of JOHN G.
