B*t us again notice the conversation of Mr. 8. and the young farmer. Mr. S. a&ys, " I would' hate, after having going as far as you have gone, to eemaonee farming." From these words may be draws twe inferences: First, that there* are yet persons who look on agriculture as a low and dis? graceful occupation; seeond. that education is thought by some not to be essential to a farmer. At present, I shall only notice the first inference. Is it not strange that there are persons who look on farming as a disgraceful occupation, when it is the root of all other occupations ? Without it no country, can prosper. After the civil wars in. Rome, agriculture was very much neglected, and the eeuntry began to assume a very gloomy as? pect. It was thought expedient to encourage ag? riculture, end for this purpose Virgil, who posses? sed a farm, and whose father was a farmer of moderate means, was persuaded to write the Georgics. He had an extensive knowledge of airrioultnre, and was one of the best poets of his are. His work was gladly received throughout the country, and in a short, while Rome began to flourish again. We have lately passed through a eivil war, and we see that agriculture is neglected. Our young men seem to prefer some other occupation. They seem to think it a disgrace to be a farmer. When we look around us, or visit our nearest towns, we see many who have quit the farm and the "pater? nal roof" for the bustle and exoitement of a town Ufa. We look behind the merchant's eounter, and we see many who havo quit their father's farm for ' the purpose of speculation. Xouag farmers, let not the discouraging words and* actions of such discourage you. Tour occu? pation is no low one, but a high, noble one. We see, and are glad to say it, that a love of agricul? ture is increasing. There are a grent many, who, like Virgil, are trying to make their country more prosperous, by encouragingagricult are. Agricul? tural journals are published throughout our coun? try,' encouraging men to go forward, in the noble work. Kot only havo we agricultural journals, but almost every paper, political or religious, con? tains a "farmer's department." In fact, there is no better, way of making a paper successful7 than to have an excellent "farmer's department." Not only should these things encourage you, young farmers, but the pleasure derived from the occupation itoelfi shouM animate you, and cause you to press vigorously forward in your noble work. How pleasant it is to enjoy nome quiet lit? tle country home, and to have plenty around us. What emotions fill the breast when we behold the rural sceneries, and contemplate the goodness of the All*Wise-Being ? A country life is full of pleasure to him who will cultivate a taste in be? holding the "beauties of Nature." It is, indeed, a pleasure to look on the green mantle of nature, and hear the aerial songsters, as they dance from bough to bough, echoing forth their morning, or evening, praises." He who possesses a quiet little farm can shun himself off from the corrupted poli? tics of the di.y, and enjoy himself in beholding the beauties ?round him, and contemplating the Author ef thom all. He is not under such excite? ment aa he who fs engaged in some speculation, neither is he disturbed by the bustle of a town. Youcg Fannars, think not your avocation a de? graded one. Think not that yon can never ac? complish anything great, because you are engaged ilk an occupation that some consider disgraceful. Our greatest ?nd wisest men were farmers. Wash? ington, called the father of his country, was a fanner. Many other pf our great men were farmers. Then be eacouraged, and remember that true merit cannot lie concealed. When Rome was in? volved in difficulties, and there was much excite? ment about the "agrarian law," Oine-innatus was called from his peaceful and quiet little farm to take charge cf political affairs. When he had re? stored harmony to the people, he returned to bis little farm, "but was soon again summoned from his seclusion by the necessities of the State." - At present, true merit is discarded. Disgrace? ful ignorance usurps its place. Our honored men, whom justice and honesty called to represent us in Congress, have been denied their seats, and con? temptible and disrespectful "carpet-baggers" have been permitted to tako their places. Tyrannisra seems to be written on every act of Congress that selates to the South. The Legislature of our proud little State is com? posed of "carpet-baggers, "scallawags," and ne? groes. These now occupy the seats once occupied by the most intelligent of our State. But things cannot long remain in this condition. Rest as? sured, that there will be a change, for the better or for worse. Ignorance will soon run its race, and true merit will take the place it ever deserves. Then be encouraged, young farmers, in your no? ble work; try to regain your former prosperity; bestow all leisure time to books; devote, at least, two hours in each day to reading. This can be done easily at noon and at night, a.jd will astonish you how much knowledge you can acquire by to doing. Pursue this course, and you will not only be pi-aspcrou8, but you will strengthen your phys? ical powers, improve your mental faculties, and increase your pleasure, AGR1COLA. A single handful of manure put into a hill of corn, will often make the differeuce between four or five little "nubbins" and ?ix or eight great plump ears that will shell their bulk of sound corn. A thousand handfuls count up heavily in the Au? tumn corn crib. How many handsful of manure are daily lost in your stockyard that might be saved in nice order by a little care in heaping up and covering from washing rains V -*t? jg^ A correspondent of the Practical Farmer, from Jacksonville, calls Florida the poor man's paradise.

Editor: The last scribble left ?e lingering in the vicinity of the battle-ground. And although a pretty warmly contested conflict, it is unlike what is said of the battle-field of Waterloo?that the effusion of blood was so great, when the field was brought into cultivation, the earth was so en? riched with the blood of the slain that the wheat waved luxuriantly, but never ripened. It was not so here. They evidently had the finest and largest water-melons it has fallen to my lot to see any? where. They gave unmistakable evidenco that growing in a rich soil did not prevent their ripen? ing thoroughly. * Apples were abundant, and as large, mellow and delicious as could be found "in the State of Bun? combe." But a word abou: the churches. The Rev. Jas. Toung, from Laurens, an Associate Reformed min? ister, some fifteen or twenty years ago organized a church; and some from the Dark Corner, Lau? rens and Due West emigrated there and clustered around him. The numbers have continued to in? crease until tbey have now quit* a r?spectable church. I was Providentially there, on a commu? nion occasion, and a large number were in atten? dance. Mr. Young continued his ministerial la? bors among them up to the time of his death, which to short-sighted mortals, seemed untimely. He had visited South Carolina; and married the widow of the Rev. J. S. Pressly, a lady of great moral worth and purity of character, and every way qualified to promote the happiness and use? fulness of a ministsr. Special business seemed to require his return early, but she had some unset? tled business to attend to, that detained her a short time; and he sickened and died, and he saw her no more." Clod's thoughts are not as our thoughts, "How unsearchable arc his judgments, and his ways past finding out." Mr. Young went to this country at a time when he obtained a larg3 tract of good land at a moder? ate price. I spent a day with him fifteen years ago, and found-him comfortably situated. Mr. Francis Young, his brother, has settled not far from this place. He has fine land, and a pros? pect of providing well for his family. Mr. Wil banks, from the Dark Corner, settled near. He ha? a beautiful place, and knows how to manage it, Mr. Turner, Mrs. Watts, and Caldwells, and others from Carolina are here. A son of Dr. Agnew is now their minister. He is a pleasant, companionable man, and appears to have qualifications to render him an acceptable and useful minister. I spent a pleasant evening with him. and two other young ministers at his father's. He reported to me a short time before the public services commenced, that the Session of the Church desired that I should preach for them, and also to commune with them, if I felt willing to do so. I complied with their request, as he expressed it to be his wish also. The Presbyterians have built them a church in the same community; it is well constructed, in fine modern style, handsomely painted, and located in a beautiful place, and the Sabbath I spent there, I found quite a large congregation in att endance. I suppose the membership small. The minister who preached to them was unknown to me. This church met with a considerable loss in the death of William Nelson. He died in the army; was one of the El? ders. I have but little knowledge of the members, except the Nelson family and my brother's family. I don't think they would have organized a separate church, only on the ground of close communion. Whether the two branches! will ever so far see eye to eye on that particular subject, so as to become one, is only known to the Head of the Church. I visited Mrs. William Nelson, and found her sister-in-law Amanda Nelson there, and received a warm greeting from them. She has a promising family, and they appear to be prospering in the world. They have not lost the strong feelings of affection that bind tbem to many friends in Caro? lina and to Robert's Ohurch. Oliver Nelson came over and we spent a very pleasant night, and met them again al Oliver Nelson's and at church. Called on Mr. Wilbanks twice. He and his wife (Miss Turner) know how to manage their respective de? partments. Rev. William Mullinax was never sat? isfied with his move to this section, and it is be? lieved he would have returned with his family, if his life had been spared. His brother settled on a beautiful place, and the family appear contented to remain. I think this o very desirable part of Mis? sissippi, and yet all don't appear pleased with the same section. Some have gone from here in search of a home far, far away. Tippah county affords some beautiful farming lands, though a large portion of it is more rolling and on that account less desirable. Around Rip ly are some fceauti ful level farms and very produc? tive. Fifteen years ago Riply was one of the prettiest villages in that section; now it is de? spoiled of its beauty. Most of the public houses ?and a number of the churches, and some private buildings, were laid in ashes. They were so often plundered by the enemy of stock and provisions of every kind, and in fact of every thing else that could be carried off, and prevented from attending to any regular business oa the firms or elsewhere, that it left the families in such a destitute state they were not in a condition to repair their many and heavy losses. I will mention a case or two. Mrs. Prince, wno took into her house a sick or wounded Federal soldier, treated him kindly; when he left, she gave him a matress or something to sleep on, and render him comfortable; as a re? ward for her kindness, some of the party set fire to the house, and consumed the house with much it contained. The family now occupy n smaller house, but appear to be comfortable. Her son is a good tailor and an industrious man, and by good manogement wi ll repair their losses. Mr. Cowan, cue mile out, had thirteen horses and mules taken, and almost all the stock of pro? visions, and tbey set fire to the kitchen, some twenty feet from bis dwelling house; and feeling certain all would be burnt together the family left. The side next to the kitchen was so heated, that the rosin was drawn out of the weather-bnardiug from bottom to top. It was a large two story frame building, and the sparks and coals went in at the window, but they were extinguished as fast as they went in: and finally the house and what was not carried off were saved. Whut f? wonder? ful interposition of Diviue Providence. They fired a canuon ball through the house of Rev. William A. Gray, while the family were in it. They wore not permitted to do all they intended. "Hitherto shnlt thou go and no farther." Charles Humphreys was taken prisoner a time or two, and his premises pillaged so often and horses taken that they rcfugeed to Pontotoo, and remained tbero till the close of the war. Ho died shortly after his return, and the family by a little assistance went to work, and have now horsos cattle and hogs enough, am' a fine crop and an excellent farm, with a brightniqg prospect for tho t ut uro. Mr. Gray still continues to proach at his church in the village, where he has spent most of his life and labors. Mr. Cowan invited a few friends to spend the day at his house, as my time was quite short to visit friends, among them Rev. Mr. Gray and lady, Mrs. Prince, and Mrs. Humphreys and family. We had quite a pleasant party. A'ion-m-Tnw of Mrs. Humphreys made seven bales of cotton, and corn enough; this is pretty good cropping for one hand. By the way, called on Mr. Gaillard, who married a niece, and found more large watermelons and the finest kind of mellow apples. Perhaps one reason traveling agrees so well with me, I fare so sumptuously, among our Mississippi relations and acquintances, though it does not add much to my light frame. T.'aere were other friends and relatives I wished to spend time with, but the stakes were planted. If I could take such a trip once a year it might add months, perhaps years, to my life. Adieu. D. H. Mb. Editor : A word or two about the church in Oharleston, before taking leave of this region. A year or two ago, the members of the Presbyterian Church in this place were few, and some of char? acter and standing did not attend any place of public worship. Rev. D. W.Humphreys was invi? ted to preach to them, but living at a great dis? tance from the place, (60 miles on the railroad,) he only gave them one Sabbath in the month. Obtained assistance and held several meetings; being encouraged to continue from day to day, by the interest manifested, the numbers added to the little band continued to increase. Some became reg alar attendants who for years had manifested no interest in these matters. He met with great kindness from those outside of the church, as well as from the members. From the increase in num? bers and the general increase of interest manifes? ted by the community, he was encouraged in his labors. Now, they have a large, commodious house built and hold the services in it, but in an unfinished condition. They have a subscription quite sufficient to complete it. One benevolent gentleman in Ohio has promised them a fine bell for their church. Now, kind feelings and united action seems to prevail. All now Beems to pro? mise a bright future. They presented a call to him to settle permanently among them. He was la? boring a larger portion of his time among a kind people, where his labors had been crowned with a blessing from on high, and they desiring his con? tinuing among them. He submitted the cose to tho Presbytery, and they made extensive enquiry during a meeting of their body while in session in Charleston. They gave their opinion unitedly thut he ought to settle there. In accord dnce with their expressed opinion, he has now settled among them and gone to work. There are a number of intelligent, influential men in the pi ice, and if they give that intellect and influence th?y possess to the advancement of the church, with the blessing of God, they may have a grow in; church, and may exert an increasing influence fo r good in the community. He has the prospect of a comfortable support, that will enable him to devote his whole time and strength to his appro? priate work as a minister. Here I would just say that churches lose much w ien they place a young minister in a position to compel him to divide his time and energies be? tween the church and some secular employment for the support of a family. It taxes all the time, intellect and resources to do the whole work of the ministry. No man can hope to be permanently useful to an intelligent people without time to read, study and meditate, so as to be able to right? ly divide the Word of Truth, and adapt his ser? mons to the varied wants and necessities of the masses; and when a man is young, his mind is more vigorous and active, and he retains knowl? edge when acquired far better than when h? passes the meridian, when most of the time his head and hands and heart are filled with the cares of this world. How can he continue through a long life to interest an intelligent community without time to beat the oil well for the lamp. Too many I fear take the same view of the matter that an old lady did, I once met with. She saw no good reason for con? tributing to a minister, to assist him in the sup? port of his family, for it took the people as much time to go to church and hear him preach, as it did him to go and preach. And most of them she heard often said in the pulpit that '-the text just dropped into their minds after they went up to commence the sermon." The old lady, in honest sincerity, seemed to believe that they had nothing more to do in reading the Bible or study than Balaam's ass, but just open the mouth and give vent to what was presented. But if this plan was generally adopted, I think some of them would find themselves in the predicament of a young minister I heard spoken of by a young man from the Emerald Isle. He said, a young man went up into the pulpit, and after singing and prayer, stood up and opened his mouth wide, and looked over the congregation and said nothing. After a little while he came down. aDd some per? son asked him. why he held his mouth open ? He said that he "wished to give vent to it, .i anything should occur to bim," but as nothing occurred he came down. To avoid such a state of things as this, ministers must adopt the Apostolic direction. The Apostle gave Timothy such direction that, if properly carried out, would require a different use of time than the old lady referred to would have advised fifty years ago. "Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy pro? filing may appear unto all." I heard an old Bap list minister say he knew of a minister who al? ways used the same introduction to all his sermons; und he repeated it, and it made such an impression on me that I have not forgotten it to this day, and I expect it was forty years ago. It was short, "Me friends and me fellow-travelers to a bound? less eternity, Pie tell you what I am going to tell you." When a boy I heard a new text and an old iicrmon that did not differ from this one referred to, and continually repeated. This old minister nas a Bible reader and an interesting minister for i he times. This kind of preaching would not be as highly appreciated now as it was half a centu? ry ago. But enough of this digression; the fault is sometimes on tho minister and sometimes on the people. After attending a meeting in Charleston plcas mtly, and 1 hope profitable to some, it became n?; cessary, after visiting a few families, to take leave of that community and of that beautiful country. We returned to Grenada and spent a pleasant night with u Presbyterian minister and separated. D. W. H. returned to Carroll and I took the Cen? tral railroad to Grand Junction ; there found the cars on the Charleston and Memphis railroad waiting. We changed oars, ond were soon off for Corinth; reached this place awhilo before night; had to remain all night and until after 12 o'clock tho next day. This is a beautiful plaoe; a level plain far in the distance in all directions. Appears to be a fine farming country. Here the Confederate soldiers ; assembled for drill previous to entering the army. Immense numbers from time to time were as? sembled here, the noblest young men af the coun? try. Many of them have passed away to their last resting place. j Fere Gen. Beauregard, in a warmly contested battle, drove the Federal army to their gunboats on the Tennessee River, and after reinforcements, by their gunboats they gradually repelled the' as? sailants, and they slowly retired to', their breast-', works, giving batt le as they re tired. Overpowered., by numbers, they slowly retreated down 'the M6 bile and Ohio railroad. With all the beauty of the place, it must have been, in rainy weather, a shocking place for a battle-ground, or for drilling of Boldicrs. Much of its former beauty had de? parted before I saw it, as most of the buildings had been consumed to ashes by the enemy. They have now a large, commodious tavern at the depot and within a few feet of the track. It is now rapidly regaining its former beauty and prosperity. I,ran round in the mud to see as much of it as possible. There is a large cemetery at this place; I sup? pose ten thousand are lying here. Some were killed in battle, some died of disease, and perhaps others by neglect. Some brought from a distance for interment here. All appeared now quiet as a summer evening. D. H. New Advertisements.
