Some persons imagine that they can subscribe for a newspaper and in a whimsical mood cease to take it from the post-office, and there their respon? sibility ends; the reverse is the case, as will be seen by the following : Decision or the Courts.?Any person who takes a paper regularly from the Post Office? whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has subscribed or not, is responsible for the pay. If a person orders his paper discon? tinued, he must pay all arrearages, or the publish? er may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the office or not. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the post-office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, iaprima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 5^** Contributions on practical farming arc so? licited from our friends throughout the country. -<o?, From the Southern Cultivator. ?r. Dickson on Immigration. Sparta, Ga., Jimo 10, 1809. Editors Southern Cuttivator: I v. isf to draw tho attention of the cotton planters of tho South to the subject of immigra? tion. It is ono of great interest, and if successful, L think will prove destructive to the cotton interest. I do not wish my views to prevail unless they are right. 1 wish both' sides to bo heard; tho other side has been- heard already, and we have been taxed to promote this cause. Tho State of Georgia is moving for our de? struction. The negro we have with us, and we cannot get rid of him if we would. They will not die out, as most of our Northern friends and many of our people think. Tho next census will show a hirge in? crease. Tho only way to make it tolera? ble for them to live amongst us, is to give them employment. With full cmplo3rment, thoy will steal less, be more law-abiding, and a less nuisance in every way. Do we want more labor, and for what? The ag? ricultural interest at the South is chiefly valuable for its production of cotton, to? bacco and rice. Can we mako moro money by doubling the quantity of labor, than we can out of what we now have? l)u numbers increase the quantity of la? bor pro rata, or will tho dividends bo greater for all concerned ? Can the first KiiiMon of people in Georgia, having the first choice of lands to cultivate and the balance for pasture, make more or less than the second million, having the poor? est half to cultivate, and no waste land for stock to grazo on ? Is the second million 1 ikt*lyT to be more skillful, indus? trious, law-abiding and enterprising, &c, &c? I think history teaches us that a population, with a plenty of room and land, are moro cheaply governed than a dense population?can live better and can kive moro labor to 6pare for improve? ments. What country has built the same amount of Railroads and Factories as the United States ? The United States hav? ing plenty of lands to cultivate, by select? ing the best, can, with one-half of its la? borers, mako a plenty of all the products of the soil, whilst the other half can build Railroads and machinery of all kinds, and work them. The Cotton States, with its present labor, can build more Railroads, erect more factories, develope more mines, carry education and refinement to a high? er point than if the population was in? creased fourfold. With cotton at twenty five cents per pound, you have money to do whatever yon wish collectively. In 1848 aud '49, with 900,000 to 1,000,000 bales of cotton in Liverpool, cotton sold in Augusta at from 4$ to 5* cents. With 350,000 to 400,000 bales at present in Liverpool cotton is selling in Augusta from 25 to 29 cents per pound. Why do you wish to make the change? Our Northern friends say, if we do not pro dnce cotton cheaper, we will loso the trade. I am willing to lose it, if it can only be held by making cheap cotton. If they would take a little moro interest in preventing the loss of our liberty, instead of the loss of the cotton trade, it would inure to the benefit of both sections. Give us our liberties and constitutional rights, with our best men to represent us in all departments, and we can make as much cotton as the world wants, at fair prices, if it be ten million of bales, without an outside man or dollar. Good government would do more to develope this country tihan all the men and money in the world. Cotton planters, it is not to your inter? est to sell your land at a moro nominal prico. How can you invent your money to any bettor advantage La.id must ad? vance in price. In thirty years, without a single immigrant, Georgia will havo a population of two millions of people?the sons and daughters of the present popu? lation. Be patient?wait for the natural increase, and what may voluntarily come. Do not spend your money to hasten an over-populated country. It will como soon enough, and when it does come, you will have no out-let. Somcaro willing to cut their lands up in small lots, and give every alternate lot to immigrants, think ing it will more than double the price of the balance. What do you care what your lands are worth, if you havo none to sell?besides, it would reduce the prieo of cotton more than one-half, and the liand you would have left would not pay per aero one-half of the dividends they do now?reducing your profits three fourths. You have a plenty of native poor people to sell land lo, if you wish to part with any. Do those who have no land, wish eom- j petitors in labor, and in tho land market ?-reducing your wages one-half or more ? Do you wj^h a great increase of money capital, reducing the rato of interest to the standard of Europe, causing all prop? erty to rise, in proportion to the fall of interest. Your wages are fixed by the surplus of cotton you have to export, and the price it will bring in Liverpool. Your prosperity depends upon the scarcity of labor and a high rate of interest. You have nothing but your labor?you cannot borrow irtonoy, oven if it gets down to 2 per cent. The value of your labor being fixed by the value of cotton in Liverpool, where interest is low, yon can, by resi? ding where it is high, acquire proportion? ally, much more laud in a given time. To those who have land to sell, or more than can be worked, let me say the very scarcity of labor will mako one-half of your lands bring in annually more money than if all was planted?the other half is worth 5 per cent to grow broom sedge for grazing, and will advanco raor?, than five per cent annually, For the safety of the manufacturing interest, especially in cot? ton, it is not prudent to push it too fast? not faster th::n markets can be found for the products manufactured. Just as sure as tho winds return the water, to be con? densed and fall again above tho shoals, the people here will possess the money and energy and skill to put the water to work; and to effect this most speedily, we want a scarcity of labor, that there may be a scarcity of cotton, and corres? pondingly good prices. With cotton at 20 to 25 cts. per Ib.. wo can in Georgia appropriate ten dollars to? wards increasing our manufacturing in? terest with more ease than one dollar, with doublo the labor, and cotton 8 to 12 cents. Where arc the laborers best fed and clothed ? where labor is scarce. Where does land pay the best profits i" 1 where labor is sc-.ircc; and the reason is, the products of the farm bring the best prices, under these circumstances. I am equally opposed to begging for money to be brought to tho South, to be invcslc j. If capitalists come of their own accord, let them come, but it is not to our interest that they should. Yon now own the property of Georgia?if you sell one. half of it, you will own but the other half. It is very difficult to transfer real proper? ty from one country to another. The most you would get, would be the means to live, and dress fine for a few years. What wo want is a system of saving, and properly investing, each year. We could and ought to save annually fifteen million of dollars, to be invested in ma? chinery. That would pa}- future divi? dends, to bo re invested. I am for moro labor too, but I want such as we may never regret acquiring. Accumulate all sorts of labor-saving machines; improve your land to a capacity double its present rates ; improve your systems fully double of what they now are. Learn to do ful? ly fifty per cent more work, with the same labor than is now done, and with more case-; learn to apply your labor to greater advantage than is now done?do all this, and more too which can be done, and you will find your products ample, without any increase of population. I am for non-action by Georgia?non-action of our people. Leave the subject of im? migration to time, and the free will of those who wish to come among us, and be of us. AVc owe our prosperity at this time en? tirely to the scarcity of labor?many ne? groes having refused to work; others be? ing employed in repairing torn up rail? roads, and building now roads. If all the negroes had gone to work on the farms, and dono full work, it woald have taken twenty years to reach our present situa? tion. The scarcity of labor is the only blessing we now enjoy as a result of the war. Tho scarcity of labor in tho South, gives us the proceeds of tho very labor some peoplo wish to transfer here. The profits of one hand in the cotton field, give us the labor of two in Europe. Transfer him here, and ho will compete with tho labor we now have, or he will labor with thoso wo now have to lessen their profits, and bring about a state of things, which will get up strikes. You must recollect, a strike in the cotton or harvest field, is not like one in a cotton mill or on a railroad. If tlie mill stops, what has been done is not lost?if the}' hands refuso to move any more dirt, what has been, remains. Xot so with wheat and cotton?all is Jost, unless you con? tinue to advanco. Tho guano must bo pumped up into tho cottou bolls,and they must bo gathered by uninterrupted labor. One moro point I will mention, and then leave the subject to be discussed fully, I hopo by abler pens. The press of the South has labored earnestly to get the cotton planter to make all his supplies at home, urging it as being tho cheapest policy. .Now every cotton planter knows that nothing pays as well as cotton, and all tho presses in the world cannot change Iiis opinion. But if the press will strike at the root of iho evil, they may do in? calculable good. I will state what it is; i J have always practiced it; both the true interest of the cotton planter and patri? otism, should make all adopt it. Apply one-half of all labor and land to the making of full supplies of all kinds that are needed on tho plantation, and enough to spare, for those engaged in other pur? suits. Do this, and you will get more money, ( take ten years together.) for the other half of labor and land engaged iu cotton culture, than if tho whole was cm ployed to produce cotton. If this is true, immigration is certainly not to our inter? est, and why should not tho cotton plan? ters consult their in tores la as, well as oth? er poople. Very respectfully, David Dickson. -? Tue End of the Inco.mk Tax.?It may not bo generally known, though the fact will be oi interest to most income tax-1 payers, that, as tho revenue law stands, the tax on incomes will coaso to he collcc I ted after next year. An amendment to | tho JIUth section of tho law adopted in 18G7 is as follows: That tho taxes on income herein im? posed shall ho leviod on the first day of \ .March, and he due on or before the 110th day of April in each year until 1.S70, and no longer. Unless, therefore. Congress by special enactment extends the operations of this law, the income tax gatherer will bo unknown to this country alter IK70. -. ? Another new reading?Man pro? poses but woman accepts About Babies. In one of the street-cars of Iho metro? polis, a few evenings since, was a lady with a bnby. One of the hlac-oyed, crowing, happy babies, disarranging its white robes, and rumpling ils blue ribbons with all the aban? don of a baby that is secure in ever-fresh supplies, both of love and clothes. The i mother was cvidontly a stranger to the , other ladies in the car; yet all of them smiled when they looked in her direction, and many of them spoke to her and seem-1 cd to love her for the sake of tho beauti? ful child. Tho opening instinct of womanhood seems to be the love of the babies, end the girl must bo a very little one who docs not want a doll to which she can phi}' the sweet part of mother. The depth and purpose of tho instinct are revealed to us in the petition of the little miss of five 3'cars, who happens to be an only child?"Mammy, I want a baby to play with, a meat baby, mamma." No kinder blessing was ever bestowed, than in the close ol Fanny Fein's letter to the then newly-married Princess Roy? al of England: "And when, brightest of all others, the crown of maternity shall descend upon your youthful brow, God grant you that nicest of all places on earth to cry in?a mother's bosom !" Yet, while the instinct of maternity is peculiar to woman, and marks her sex more plainly than rounded limbs or gentle manners, it is not to women and girls alone that the iovc of babies is confined. It was once the lot of the writer to dwell in tho white tents of Camp Harri? son, in Georgia, in the lower part of the State, where families arc always far be? tween, and much moro so in war times. For long weeks we had not isocn a wo? man or a child. At last the railroad through the Camp was repaired, and in tho first train there was a lady, with such a wide-awake, kick? ing bah}' as the latter ono of the metro? polis. Somo hundreds of rough soldiers were around tho cars, and Captain Story of the 57th Infantry was the biggest and roughest among them, if we may judgo of the tree by its bark. The lady with the baby in her arms was looking from a window, and he took off his hat and said, "Madam, I will give you five dollars, if you will let me'kiss that baby." One look at his bearded face told her that there was nothing bad in it, and, saying, with a pleased laugh, "I do not charge anything for kissing my ba b}r;" it was handed over. The little one was not afraid, and the bushy whiskers, an eighth of an ell long, were just tho pla\'-house it had been looking for. More than one kiss did the Captain get from the little red lips, and there was en erg}' in the hug of the little round arms. Then other voices said, "Pa:>3 him over here, Cap I" and before the train was rcady to move, half a hundred men had kissed the baby. It was on its best behavior, and kicked, and tugged at whiskers, as 'only a happy baby can. It was an event I of tho campaign; and one giant of a } mountaineer, who strodo past us with tread like a mammoth, but with tear dimmed eyes and quivering lips, said, "By l George, it makes mo feel ai d act like a fool; but I've got one just like it at home." Other lands have owned t:>c power of this young immortality, and the Hindoo hails the little stranger with the words, "Young child, as thou hast entered the world in tears when all around thee smil? ed, so live as to leave the world in smiles while all around thee weep." A Curious Mauuiage.?" A bridegroom up tho linden tree," is tho heading of a curious wedding story which really oc? curred a few weeks ago in a little village pleasantly situated on the banks of the Rhine. A certain land owner of the vil? lage had a daughter who was courted by a neighboring swain ; and after the latter had got the promise of the old gentleman his future father-in-law. to make over the homestead to himself, the marriage day was fixed. The day was Sunday, and the guests had assembled from far and wido. They had already begun to make the marriago procession, when suddenly the bridegroom was found to have disappear? ed, and in spite of all the searching, in tho yard, in the barn, stable, and in the neighboring houses, not the least trace of him could be found. Tbe bride wept bit? terly at her lover's deception, and every? body heaped abuse upon the missing ono. Finally one of the searchers was success? ful in discovering the bridegroom in the thickly-leafed summit of a largo linden tree which stood at the back of a house. All the guests then ran to look at him; some began to abuso him for makingsuch a spectacle at that critical moment, while the parish pastor addressed some pretty sharp words about his conduct. The young man, however, did not seem in? clined to come down and fulfill his en? gagement, but began to explain, from where he was perched, what was the mat tor. He said that his inton:led father-in law had promised faithfully before the betrothal to transfer his land to him (the bridegroom,) but tho promise had been staved off from day to day, and at the same time of speaking it was not fulfilled. Ho would, therefore, not enter the portal of the church until the old gentleman had done his duty. And, in spite of all pro? testation by the guests and tho old man, the village schoolmaster had at last to be sent for to make out tho contract : and only after this was signed, sealed and de? livered, did tho delinquent doscond from tho linden tree and take his sobbing brido to church.

A melancholy little incident is rela? ted of tho ex-Empress Charlotte. This unfortunate Princess has been staying lor some time at Spa. The other day she in sisted with such vehemence on playing at roulette that it was impossible to restrain her. On approaching the table she delib? erately placed a gold piece on the number 19. The Emperor Maximilian was shot on Juno 19. The wheel turned, and, though 37 chances were against her, she won. She smiled sadly, took up the mon? ey, and quietly left the room. On her way out a poor man passed by. She gave him all the money, with the injunction that ho was to "pray for him." It is known that the Empress Charlotte never pronounces the name of Maximilian. ?
