We aro fearful lest the present high grico of cotton shall induce the Georgia planter to devote too much of his land this year to U13 production of that staple to the neglect of a full corn crop. Such a policy, if adopted-, will surely lead to the rain of those who engage in ffc. We care not What price cotttm may bring,the first duty of those planters who would pros? per is to secure full and ample provision orops.. We hear ? great deal of nonsense talk? ed these days about its being cheaper to bay bacon than to raise it, when a pound ot cotton will bring the price required to purchase a pound of bacon; and that an acre of land planted in cotton will bring monoyenough at present prices te pur ehase as much com as three or four acres wii'i produce. Thoso who arguo in this way antl act in accordance with these theories will alwaj's be poor. Thoir stock intTwork-animals will nover bo able to perform full work, and every living thing abont the plantation will speak trumpet tongued against such a false system. It matters not how much cotton the ftaiiter produces, ho can never make a large net gain so long as he is compelled to purchase at high prices everything consumed in making the crop. A large crop of cotton, mado in this way would tenet to depress prices, while the extraor? dinary demand for grain and provisions, growing out of a failure on the part of cotton planters to make their own sup? plies, would send prices up; This, then, is the inevitable result to be derived from &rge cotton to the exclusion of corn planting?low priced cotton?high priced corn?lean and weak work stock?starv? ed, farm animals?empty pockets?shoc iess children?threadbare clothing and Boar dispositions. The experience of ou;* planting friends will bear us out in the declaration that planters will not feed sufficiently when they have to buy provisions. They will also purchase cheap-supples?musty corn, poor bacen, etc.?which in turn produces disease among thoir stock and often heavy losses in the very midst of the plowing season. Have wo all forgotten so soon the distress and want, and diseaso of the year 1867, following an almost total fail? ure of the crop of 1866,? Will not plan? ters be warned in time of a like and im? minent danger growing out of a failure BC-sry to make provisions ? In this connection wo beg to call atten? tion to the following judicious remarks of the Memphis Avalanche on this subject: In tho year 1866 tbo cotton crop was equally as large as it is this year, and the Bost of tho crop of that year was sold for twenty-five cents a pound, or upward. Notwithstanding these facts,, tlnjio* was great distress among Southern planters tbe following year. What was the cause? Dt was the result of not having raised in tho South, during the year 1866, enough of provisions to sustain the plantations. Corn was bought during the year 1867, by the planters, at 'from one dollar.and ifty cent* to two dollars per bushel, and bacon at awenty-five cents por pound. Although the crop ot this year is selling ior.iess than did the crop of 1866, and probably will not exceed the crop of that jiear in bales, yet the farmers are in a much better condition, because they have few supplies of bread and meat to pur? chase. If tho people of the South would najftoall their own breadstuff^, supplies of meat, jukJ their own mares, mules and eattie, which they might easily do, they sou Id bettor afford to raise cotton at fif? teen cents per pound than they could to xjrise it at twenty-five or thirty cents- per pound, and. bavo-all' these things to buy. Wisdom requires us first to raise etir sup? plies, and that in great abundance, and then we can afford to raise cotton and risk the prices. Cotton should bo our permanent capi teljj and>none of it ought to bo required to purchase supplies. If a planter raises an 1 sells ten thousand dollars' worth of ootton, and has to pay for horses, mules, corn, fodder and meat ten thousand dol Ifcrs, it is evident ho has made nothing oJear; but if the samo farmor- the next year should.raise and sell only five thou? sand dollars' worth of. ootton, and in ad? dition all; his supplies, he would make five thousand dollars more than he did-' the year before. The agricultural re? ports of the United States Government of this year show that much greater net Average ijii value has been made upon many other nrticlos than cotton, when we take into consideration the cost of produoing, the various articles. A. coun? try which, relies- alone on ono staple, whether that be wheat, corn or cotton, caninevor become wealthy. Variety in productions is the real aeoret of agricul? tural wealth. Let our farmers remdmber that it is not the high price of cotton that is now enriching them, but it is the abun? dant supply of provisions. It is a re markablo fact that the stock-raising and provision growing countries, even before tjie war, were much more prosperous tjian those which were devoted exclusive? ly to cotton and sugar, growing. It is eyen more so now. - ~_A\ young lady being engaged to be married,' and getting sick of the bargain, applied to .a. friend-' U> help her untie the1 ^not before it was too late.

It convoys to every boy an impressive lesson : "An lionesty industrious boy" is always wanted. Ho will be sought for; his ser? vices will be in demand ; he will bo spo? ken of in terms of high commendation, ho will always have a home, he will grow up to be a man of known worth and es? tablished character. He will be wanted. The merchant will want him for salesman or clerk ; the mas? ter mechanic will want him for apprentice or journeyman j thoso with a job to let will want him for a contractor; patients will want him for a doctor; robgiouscon? gregations for a pastor; parents for a teacher of their chihfcjoj). and tho poople for an officer. He will bo wanted. Townsmen will want him for a citizen ; acquaintances for a neighbor; neighbors as a friend; fam? ilies as a visitor, nay, girls will want him for a bean, and finally for a husband. "An honest, industrious boy!" Just think of it boys; will you answer that description? Are yon sure that you will be wanted ? You may be smart and active, but that does not fill the requisi? tion?are you honcsV? You may be capa? ble?are you industrious? You may be well dressed, and create a favorable im? pression at first sight; are yon sure your friends, teachers and acquaintances can recommend you foi?.these qualities? How would you feel, your character not being thus established, on hearingthe words "I can't employ you I" Nothing clso will make up for these qnal ties. No readiness, no aptness for busi? ness will do. You must be honest and industrious?must work and labor. Will your calling and election for places of profit and trust be mado sure ? -?? Roger A. Pryor.?The New York cor respondent of the Chicago Tribuns says: "Eight years ago, Roger A. Pryor strut? ted through Main street in Richmond, all eyes turncd^lo follow him, and such re? marks reached,his ears as helped to swell even hie inordinate vanity. To day he walks through Nassau street to his office, and in that crowded lane no one is con scious of his presence, and few would know who he is if he were named. "After the surrender of Lee and John? ston he came North, and has lived here ever since. He says the South was whip? ped;, that lie has accepted the situation, put the bitter past behind him, and gone to work, an 1 thinks it would be much bet? ter if his late companions iu arms would do likewise. "Pryor has little of the old swagger, the overweening vanity, the supreme stlfcon sciousness of other clays, lie takes no part in politics, writes no leters, gives no counsel, but very wisely keeps s?ene?, and submits gracefully to the inevitable. "Pryor is a picturesque looking brunette; slight, ercet, an4;graceful in figure; has an intellectual face, with quite prominent features; wears Iiis hair long and behind his ears; is an interesting and fluent talker, winning in manners, and socially a very pleasant fello w. lie has a wife and family, and is getting good practice. On the whole, he is one of the best specimens I know of a reconstructed rebel, and shows how. much improved a man may be when he has had the nonsense fairly taken out of him.'' ? A nice way of overcoming bashful scruples has boon found in North Caro? lina. At a recent wedding a guest pro? posed that one man in the company should be selected as president; that this president should be duly sworn to keep entirely secret all the communications that should be forwarded to him in hhs official department that night; that each unmarried gentleman and lady should write hrs or lair name on a piece of pa? per, and under it place the name of the person they wished to marry, then hand it to the president for inspection, and if any lady and gentleman had reciprocally chosen each other, the president was to inform each of the result, and thoso whu had not been reciprocal in their choice were to be kept entirely seeret. After the appointment of ihe president, com mumentions were accordingly handed up t? the chair, and it was found that twelve young ladies ar d gentlemen had recipro? cal choices, aid eleven of the twelve matches were solemnized. Learn to Wait.?Of all the lessons that humanity has to learn in life's school, the hardest is lo learn to wait. Not to wait with folded hands that claim life's prizes, without previous effort, but, having struggled and crowded the slow years with trial, see no such result as effort seems to warrant-nay, perhaps, disaster instead. To stand firm at such a crisis of existence, to preserve one's self poise and self respect, not to lose hold or relax effort, this is greatness, whether achieved by man or woman, whether the eye of the world notes it", or- it is recorded in that book which the light of eternity shall alone make clear to tin; vision. In Search of a Home.?The Hillsboro (N; 0.) Recorder says : "An ox-cart filled with women and ohihlreu passed through thi? town on Wednesday evening. Two men and a bull calf were pulling the cart ?the bull iu the middle, and a man har nessed'in rope and fastened to each end of the singletree. In answer to where they were from, the men said that 'h?1 was to play in "Western Virginia, and that they were moving to Raleigh to look after a home.' Everybody?bull and \\\?was pulling his 'level best."' - ? It is a fact perhaps not generally known but interesting to young men, that tho solitary ringlet, which floats from so many watcrfalln, is a notification on the part of their carriers that they aro not engaged. If it in extremely long the wearer is supposed to bo very desirous of getting spliced at oncoj if only moder? ately long, it shows that only good otters will bo entertained ; an extremely short, meagre ringlet indicates that the wearer is very particular as to whom she accepts, but nevertheless sl ows that sho is nut yet engaged. ? "Koso, my dear," said mother to her daughter, "if you are so prim and reserved, you will never gco a husband." "Ma,"' replied the young lady, "unless the puots tell fibs, a prim rose is not without attrac? tion u.11 ? What would this world bo without a woman? A perfect blank?like a sheet ot paper?not even ruled. ? "Steel your heart," said a considerate father to his" son, "for you arc going now among some fascinating girls." "I had rather steal tbeir's," said the un? promising young man. ? A man who had a scolding wife, be? ing willing to excuse her failings, when called upon to give some account of her babbits and character, said she was pretty well in general, only subject at times, to breaking out of the mouth. ? A little girl worn out by a long ser? mon, observing the preacher gathering himself for the introduction of another "point," exclaimed: "Oh, mother! he is not going to stop at all. He is swelling up again!" ? "You have lost some of your friends, I see," said a traveler to a negro whom he met on the road "Yes, massa." "Was it a near or distant relative ?" "Well, purty distant?'bout twenty four miles," was the reply. ? In a case before court a juror listened patiently to the different , counsel, but the judge'i charge staggered him. He said he could till whose side the eenmcl talked for, but he'd be doggontd if knew what rde that other fellow was on. ?

Anderson 0. If., Jan. 7, \9M 2fi?Irn [From the Southern Cultivator.'] Clias. A. Peafoody on Commer? cial Manures. HIS METHOD OF APPLICATION AND RESULTS. Editors Southern Cultivator: As I am constantly receiving letters from all parts of thecotton-grow ing States, asking my views of Guano?what kinds I prefer?how I uso it, ami what quantities!??I will make the Cultivator the medium of my answer to nil. Some twenty-five years ago, I began !o ex? periment with Guano. First, I tried Peruvian. This gave good satisfaction, but was, I then thought, rather expensive. I have since tried nil of the other varieties of note. Some were j;ood, others worthless. I had come to the conclusion that the Peruvian, however costly, was the cheap? est in the end. as a bard-working, industrious man could manipulate it, with any other substance he thought proper. I have found salt, plaster, llow ?r of hones, itftitrfp muck, Ac, valuable to ma? nipulate with Peruvian Guano, but the labor of manipulation is great, and in the process af ma? nipulation, much of the ammonia escapes. From this fact I have been led to inquire, whether there was not an excess of ammonia in Peruvian Gur.no. and whether it would not be more advantageous to pay for Ihe Phosphates, t linn to pay so much extra for the volatile ammonia. Whilst full of this idea, I struck the Soluble Pacific Guano, and was ?o well pleased with it, tlint last year I manured one-half of my cotton with it, and the other half with the genuine Peruvian. The same quantity of each was used per acre. The land was of ihe same quality, the planting and culture was in all respects the same, and when the crop was gather? ed, it was impossible to tell which was the best. Now the Soluble Pacific Guano cost mo $20 ltss per ton, and as a oonscquenco, I have this year used the Soluble Pacific Gttatro alone. It cost me at the Agent's Depot in Columbus, $75 per ton. It may be well hero to state the character of my land. I do not live en exactly what would be called pine barrens, but it is next to it. The older portion of my land will not, with ordinary culture, bring three hundred pounds of seed cotton to the acre. A field of ten acres, which I wished to ex? periment on witii the Dickson Cotton, hybridizing it with my Upland Long Staple. I plowed and sub-soiled in March, leaving the surface perfectly level; the 20th of April, I laid it off in lands about twenty-five feet wide, and aowed Soluble Pacific Guano broadcast, at the rate of two hundred pounds to the acre. This I turned under, with a turn shovel, then opened furrows three feet apart, with a long point scooter, following in the samc furrow I put two huudred pounds more of the Gu? ano to the acre. Then I threw the furrows togeth? er into the centre, with a turn shovel, which left but a slight ridge, and on this ridge planted tho seed. Tho Dickson variety bears much thicker planting than other kinds. The growth and fruit? ing of Ihe crop was superb?nothing equal to it had ever been seen in this section of the country, and if the worms had not swept all the top and end bolls, it would have made two good bales to the acre. As bad a3 it has turned out, it hasronde a bale to the acre. To a half acre near my dwel? ling, that I*had cow-penned Ust winter,-1 applied two hundred pounds of the Soluble Pacific Guano in Ihe drill, and, notwithstanding excessive wet weather in August, and the worms, which took all tho Into crop, I have picked over two thousand pounds of seed cotton from the half acre. There are those in my neighborhood, who plant land as good as mine, but without Guano, that will scarce? ly realize a bale from ten acres this year. And now a word to the purchaser. If you would get the Soluble Pacific Guano Genuine, purchase it only ot the authorized agents of the Company. I have tried the Peruvian and-Pacific on my garden crops, but with no good results; Peruvian (luano seems to be emphatically the food for the cotton fruit?other fertilizers may make more weed; but in the purchase of Peruvian Guano, we are pay? ing for a volatile ammonia, much of which is bound to escape, without benefit to crops. Will it not be to the planter's interest to take that Guano which is- richer in phosphates, and yet an abun? dance of ammonia-for all practical purposes? The Soluble Pacific Guano I have found from sound practical tests, to be equal to tho Peruvian aud much cheaper. I hold that no man cau a fiord to plant cotton without Guano. CHAS. A. PF.ABODV.
