?&rs?n Jiitdlipcer. - . ; Cotton Gulture, The truth tliat agriculture is a science, and the noblest of all the sciences, seeras to-be slowly taking hold of our people. Every year, however, adds to the number of those in tbo South who are becoming enlightened upon the subject of agricul? ture, and are following tho teachings of yiise* Jt|tfade than their own. One of the foremost men of the present day, in agriculture, is David Dickson, of Sparta, Georgia. His letters on farming amf Tarm experiments* published in the Southern C\dtivatorr aro doing much to awaken tho people of the South to their troe^Interests." A correspondent writing of Mr. Dickson, says: "The stress ot the late war drovo me into this neighborhood, and gave" me an opportunity of learning much of the sys? tem and.success of this enterprising plan? ter.* Fifteen years before tho war, he commenced planting on what was con? sidered light sandy lands, much exhaust? ed, with a capital of 825,000. When the war broke out, Iiis capital was eighteen times larger. This result was brought about by his energy and system; by im? proved .modes of culture; by improve? ments of agricultural implements ; by attention to the health and comfort of his laborers; by nursing and protecting his stock; and care bestowed upon his bees, his orchards and dairy. Above all, and mainly, his golden, harvest was reaped from the judicious use of Fertilizers." Having seen who Mr. Dickson is, hear now waat* fie has to Bay oh cotton cui taro: Sparta, Ga., Feb. 10,1868. Editors Southern Cultivator : Thinking ft best to tell what I have done, instead of giving advice that I do not follow, I will gtvo*you tho details of the prcpara tion, manuring, planting, cultivation, and production of a sixteen aero lot, planted in"cotton; and as many may desire to kn"ow'aU the particulars, I will bo as ex? plicit as I can be in a letter. FirsVtbe land is good pine land, and has-been under the plow nearly seventy years, and as many as fifty-five years in eotfon. About twelve }Tears ago, it was so wig, in oats, with 200 lbs. of guano and j bonos mi^ed with salt and plaster, and nsASQm 35 bushels per acre ; all fed o'nHSJ- fuf-ntng stock in tho field. Four years ago I left it uncultivated until the middle of July?thero was then a heavy growth of weeds on it. just grown. 1 turned them in, and dropped peas in eve? ry third furrow. The result was a large CMp^oJ'-yjnes, and-at least fifteen bushels ?f? peas ^pr'nere. These- were fed off by beef cattle. That, if you call it rest, is all the field ever had.u'iTho lot lies between two branches, running North and South; on one slope, next to the branch, is a second fcjffiw of pines?the other is a peach or raardT The cotton was planted on the top of a level ridge, lying within one fourth.. to one-half of a mile of Little Ogeechee. It was planted in cotton in 1866?manured with about one hundred and fifty pounds of bones and Peruvian guano each, and one hundred pounds of plaster. I commenced on the 3d day of May, with two horses, to prepare, tho land*; cotton rows four feet apart; ran two furrows in tho middle of each row, which stood open about eight inches deep, and applied to each acre 250 pounds So? luble Bones, 165 pounds No. 1 Peruvian guano, and 100 pounds plaster. Salt be? ing, too. high,. I om it ted that. The mix tgiJe Was'deposited in the bottom of the furrow;" then covered with a long scooter plow, going,about as deep as the other two furrow*; then ran on the side of eacb'seooter furrow, with a good turning plow going seven inches deep. After preparing about six acres in this way, 1 dpened with a small, hull-tonguo plow ; dropped the seed and covered lightly with a board?part of it with a harrow. I continued in this way until the lot was planted, finishing tho* fifteenth of May. The land being freshly prepared and a lit? tle dry, it did not come up well. The 25th of May, had a fine shower, and on tho first morning of June, thero was a first rate stand. About the first of June, 1 turned the plows back to finish the preparation, running a scooter six (?) inches long, in the bottom of each, turn p*30w rarrow, going seven inches deeper; then plowed up tho old stalks -with a large, long shovel plow, going under the old cotton stalks?making nine furrows to.tbe row, in preparing tho land?taking nfne days, with one horse, for every eight acres, which was equal to a full sub-soil? ing. You observe the preparation was ?ol expensive. Including the planting, it was eleven days work to eight acres. The cotton soon stretched up well. The first plowing was done with a heavy 22 inch sweep, (right wing towards the end nearly flat; the bask edgo of the rring about one and a fourth of an inch a'boye-the front odgo in elevation.) I then hoetl out to a stand, the width of No. 2 Scovell hoc, leaving one to three stalks- in a bilk. Cotton standing thick m the drill, will be much forwarder than that which is thin. Give it the necessary distance between the rows. Tho second pJowin-g was done with the samo kind of sweep, with both wings ele? vated?the second and last hoeing follow ed in a few days. The third plowing ran one furrow in the middle of the rows. The cultivation with tho plow occupied one horse five days for each eight acres, which makes two days plowing for each aero, and nbont two days hoeing for the same. TBe cotton grew so rapidly, it did not ?eed any laore work. I hired the pick? ing of most ?f it, at 40 cents per 100 lbs. The lot averaged about thrco thousand lbs. per acre, but owing to a storm and other causes, I gathered only twenty ?even hundred lbs. and a fraction, which will make two f;ood bales per acre. 1 picked one hundred bolls in two separate parts of the lot, at 4 o'clock rn the cven ihg of a dry da}*. Each weighed twenty one ounces. In the lot was an Irish po? tato pftfceh that had been manured and mulched with straw twice. 1 think that Ronion made at the rato of six thousand >s. per acre. The next best place, was about;one aero of old pine field, first year, which made I think about 5a)00 lbs. Jf you expect such results, you must 7^o4> eut the roots of the cotton. Cotton is a sun plant, as you wiil sec by its turn ing its leaves to the sun, as the latter moves through the heavens. So havo a deep water furrow in the spring, work flat by hot weather, and on level land run the rows North and Sooth. The cotton would have been much bet? ter, planted the 10th of April. The sea? sons were as fine as they could be, tip to the 28th of July. After that too much rain. The hands I had were all new and very sorry; the manure was badly mixed and badly put on. 1 found, during the wet weather, where the most manure was put, it stood the test best?especially the part that had themost Peruvian guano on it. There was some rot, owing to the density of foliage and wet weather; some boll-worm and caterpillar on about one-half of the patch. The seed planted was of the Da? vid Dickson, Oxtord, Ga., variety, select? ed twice by myself, and would sell for more than the cotton, if I did not wish to plant them myself. There are none for sale this year. I purchased my ma? nure of first bands, by Messrs. John Mcr rj-man & Co., and*got the best article at the lowest price in tho market. The cot? ton is unsold.

Respectfully yours, DAVID DICKSON." The plan adopted by this prince of farmers is to manure heavily and judi? ciously, at whatever cost; and by these moans gathers his princely returns. In? vesting in manures at tho rate of seven? teen dollars per acre, no doubt, appears to many as an idea too preposterous for any sano man to entertain. But when that investment yields a dividend of over five hundred per cent., under Mr. Diuk son's judicious method of planting, the wonder is that everybody docs not profit by such experiments. -4,-, How to Break a Mule.?The follow? ing suggestions, saj-s the Maryland Far? mer, from a new and interesting book on the subject of breaking the mule, by Har? vey Riley, Esq., Superintendent of the Government coral, Washington : "Don't fight or abuse him. After you have harnessed him, and he proves to be reiractory, keep your temper, slack your reins, push him round, backward and for? ward, not roughly; then if ho will not do what you want him to, tic him to a post, and let him stand.there a day oi\?p with? out food or water. Take care, Att^that he does not lie down, and be careful to have a person to guard him, so that he does not foul in the harness. If he will not go after a day or two of this treat? ment, give him one or two more of it, and my word for it he will come to his senses and do anything you want from that time forward. "The only way to keep a mule from kicking you is to handle it a great deal when 37oung, and acenstom it to the ways and actions of men. You must, through kindness, convince it that you aro not going to harm or abuse it; and 3-ou can do that best by taking hold of it in a gentle manner every time it appears to bo frightened. Such treatment I have always found more effective that all the beating and abusing 3-ou can apply. The mule is peculiar in his dislikes. Many of them, when first harnessed, so dislike a blind bridle that they will not work in it. When }'ou find this, let them stand for a day or so in the blinders and then take them off, and in forty-nine case out of fifty ho will go at once." -? A Romance of the Cuban Rebellion. ?An American citizen who was in the Theatre of Villanueva on the evening of the 22d ult., and witnessed the riot and ma&sacre in the streets of Havana that eve? ning, says: "A very beautiful girl, the daughter of Aldama, one of the wealthiest and most noble of all Cubans, wore upon her left breast the American flag ,with the inscription, Long live the Republic of Cu? ba' upon it. When that stirring song was being sung, the whole audience rose and cheered this young woman, aud as she rose to ackuowlege the salute?all eyes were now bent upon her?a low, mean, coward? ly Spaniard shot her with a revolver, kill? ing her instantly. Two American gentle? men occupied the box adjoining Senorita Aldama, whose names I do not know, but one of whom, seeing the pistol pointed at the young lady's breast, dre?v his revolver, and a second after the Spaniard had fired, blew the top off the head of the cowardly assassin. Instantly the whole theatre was the scene of the greatest confusion, and the Spanish troops rushed in and be gan firing upon the masses of the huddled, unarmed, innocent men and women.*' -?. ?

Not a great while ago an Irishman was employed in a village where he was well known, to dig a well pro bono publico. The contract was made that he was to be paid a certain sum per foot, and warrant a free supply of water. At it he went with a will,, and his daily progress was in? tensely watched by interested parties. Early and late he delved away faithfully, deep down in the earth, full of confidence in the speedy completion of his labors. He had reached the depth of about twenty-five feet, and soon expected to "strike water." Early in the morning Pat repaired to the scene of his labors, and horrible to tell, it had caved in, and was nearly full. He gazed with rueful visage upon the wreck, and thought of the addi? tional labor the accident would cause him. After a moment's reflection he looked ear? nestly around, and saw no one stirring; then quickly divesting himself of his hat an.d coat, ho carefully hung them on the windlass, and made tracks for a neighbor? ing eminence which overlooked the village. Here, hid amid the undergrowth, he quiet? ly a#waited the progress of events. As the morning wore on, the inhabitants began to arouse and stir about. Several were attracted to the well, thinking that as Pat's hat and coat were there, he was below. Soon the alarm was raised that the well had caved in and that Pat was in it. A crowd collected, and stood horrified at the fato of poor Pat. A brief consulta? tion was held, and soon spades and other implements were brought to dig out the remains of the unfortunate man. To work they went with a will?when one set be? come weaned with the unusual labor, a half dozen ready hands grasped the imple? ments and dug lustily. Pat quietly look? ed on from his retreat on the eminence, while the village stood around the well and watched with breathless suspense the work go bravely on. As the diggers approached the bottom, the excitement of tho bystanders grew in? tense, and they collected as near as safety would admit, gazing fearfully down into the well. With great care and precaution the dirt was taken away, and when the bottom was at length reached, no Pat was to be found. The crowd, berfore so anx? ious, gradually relaxed to a broad grin, which broke forth in uproarious merriment when the venerable Pat walked up with a smiling countenanee and addressed the crest-fallen diggers, who now stood weary and soiled with their labors,"Be jabers, gin tlemen, and it's Patrick Fagan sure that is much obliged to yees for doin' of that little job of work !" The effect can be better imagined than described, and as the most active of the young meji slunk off, several low-breathed mutterings broke forth that sounded very much like "sold." ^ . Through the kindly aid of his fellow-cit? izens, Pat soon finished his well, and it re? mains among the monuments of his genius to this day. - ?

Office of Udolpho Wolfe, SOLE IMPORTER OF THE Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, 22 BEAVER STREET, NEW YORK, November 3, 18G8. To the People of the Southern States : When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely known ns Wolfe's Schiedam Schnapps, wns introduced into the world under the endorsement of four thousand leading members of the medical profession some 20 years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful prepara I tions. He, therefore, endeavored to invest it with strongest possible safeguard against counterfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity and ! properties having been thus- ascertained, samples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand phy? sicians, including all the leading practitioners in the United States, fjr purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report of the result, accompanied en.cn specimen Four thousand of the most eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opin? ions of the article were unanimously favorable. 1 Such a preparatiou they said, hud long been wautcd by the profession, as a?- reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which formed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to? gether with an unalloyed character of the alcohol? ic element, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimuinut as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional r men of the highest rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of i>s genuine? ness. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted: a patent was ohtauicd for the article, the label was copyrighted, a fue simile (it the pro. prietor's autograph signature was attached to each, label nnd cover, his name und that of theptepara? tion were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were scaled with his private seal. No article bad ever been sold in this country under tho name of Schnapps prior to. i lie introduction of Wolfe's Schiede*? Aromntio Sdwapps, iu 1851; and the label was deposited, as his trade mark, in the Uni? ted States District Court for the Southern District of New York that year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with, the daring character of the pirates who prey upon tho reputation of honorable merchants byt vending deleterious trash under their name, that the protection so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded the introduction and sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, to have only stimulated the rapacity of impost er& The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen; the indorsement which his. Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from tho medical profes? sion has been clniined by mendacious humbugs ; his labels and bottles have been imitated, his ad" vertiscments paraphrased, his circulars copied,.uekt worse than alt, dishonorable retailers, niter dinpo siDgof the genuine contents of his bottles^ have filled them up with common gin, the most delete? rious of all liquors, iwkI thus made his name and brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and the sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed ns a remedy, are equally intornstM with the proprietor in the defection and suppres? sion of these nefarious practices. The genuine article, manufactured at the establishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Ital? ian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every acrimonious and corrosive element. Complaints have been received from the leading physicians and families in the Soulhern States of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are in the habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful influence of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The agents of the undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the subject,.and to forward to him the names of such parties as they may as? certain to be engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has produced, from under (lie hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal excellence of the Scheidam Aromatic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed should protect the public and himself against fraudulent imitations ; that he has shown it to He the only liquor in the world that can be uniformly depended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms; and from evory ordeal the preparation which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off trium? phant. He therefore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to the medical pro? fession and the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press and the pub? lic to aid him in his efforts to remedy so great an evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove to the reader that all goods sold by the un? dersigned are all they are represented to be. UDOLPHO WOLFE. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as being in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage. At all events, it is the purest possible article of Holland Gin, here? tofore unobtainable, and as such may be safely pre? scribed by physicians. DAVID L. MOTT. M.

Dear Sir : The want or pure Wines and Liquors for medicinal purposes has been long felt by the pro? fession, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of adulterated articles. Delirium tre? mens, and other diseases of the brain and nerves, so rife in this country, are very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the difference in the purity of the spirits sohl. We have tested the several articles imported and sold by you. including your Gin, which you sell un? der the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we consider justly entitled to the high repu? tation it has acquired in this country; and from your long experience as a foreign importer, your Bottled Wines and Liquors should meet with I lie same demand. We would recommend to you In appoinl some of the respcctableapothecarics in different parts of the city as agents for the sale of your Brandies and Wines, where the profession can obtain the same when needed for medicinal purposes.
