WASHINGTON, February 3.-In debate on the whiskey tax last night, Schcnck, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said there were a parcel of speculators throughout the country trying to kill the whiskey market by circulating a story that the Ways and Means Committee or some member of the House would propose to increase the tax on whiskey, or perhaps put it backte its old rate. Ho would say that, so far as the Ways and Means Committee were concerned, no such proposition had been or would be entertained. Ho boped there would bo no tinkering by the House of this part of the bill. . The Committee on Appropriations has deter? mined to withhold the appropriations for the educational department.

The Charleston Election Bill-The Last Kamora-A New Scheme-General Leg? islative Proceedings. [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., February 2, 18G9.-All my information tends to the conviction that Sena? tor Corbin's bill to dechro valid the Charles? ton election, will go through. The outside pres? sure and combination of circumstances will cause, it is believed, somo of those who were among its strongest opponents to vote in favor of the bill. Another proposition is on foot, to repeal tho law confirming the ap? pointees of thc military, in office, until their successors aro elected. That is, to repeal the "Act to quiet rights vested under military or? ders," passed at the special session of the Gen? eral Assembly. This, it is argued, will leavo Charleston without a government, and enable Pillsbury and his Board ot Aldermen to take possession at once. A Btrong fignt has been kept up in thc Sen? ate between tho advocates and the opponents ot thc bill to increase tho salaries of the Justi? ces of the Supremo Courtaud of tho Oircuit Judges. The most strenuous of the iornier are Senators Leslie and Swails, wbilo those of the latter are Senators N.ish and Wimbush. It was onsidorably amusing to-day to hear tho pathetic appeals of the senator from Barnwell (Mr. Leslie) to the senator from Richland to poitpt ne the consideration of tho bill until the arrival of somo ; i its friends then absent on leave. The senator from Richland, however, could not be induced to yield, and so tho dis? cussion was kept up until the Senat? adjouruod JU the question of agreeing to tho motion of ?enator Leslie to postpone the consideration of the bill two days. IN THE HOUSE, Mr. Pottengill reported on a bill to establish a board of commissioners of public lands, and submitted a substitute enti? tled a bill io establish a board of commission :rs of public l inds, to define their duties, and lo authorize thc issue ol bo ids or stocks for ile purchase of lands, which was ordered to ie over fora second reading.

Eastward now the news-bird wings his flight ; from Columbia to Kingsville, from Kingsville alone: the Wilmington and Manchester Bail road past the flourishing Towns o? Sumter and Timraonsville, your correspondent found him? self early in the afternoon under the large pas? senger shed at Florence. Hero he parted com? pany with his further eastward-bound friends, and devoted half au hour to sight-seeing in the famous South Carolina town with the famous Tuscan name. Every city, town and village in America lias its history, and all of it modern history. I am tired hearing men say, "I can recollect when Chicago was a wilderness," Atlanta a piece of woods, or San Francisco an Indian village. Ono hears this sort of thing so constantly, that it ceases to excite wonder or even atten? tion. You have beard of the old negro ferry? man on the Mississippi, who when asked how long he had been living there, astonished his interlocutor with, the reply, "Lor bress you, Massa, r?o been 'ere long time. When I fust cum 'ere, dis 'ere ribber wore no bigger nor a icely branch." Well, L your correspondent, though I can by no means lay claim to tho dis? tinguished honor of being tho "oldest inhabi? tant," can remember when there was no such placo as Florence-when the site, of tho pre? sent flourishing city was a vast, ilhmitablo ex? tent of low pine flat, with nothing to relieve tho monotony of tho melancholy picture I spent a day there, from necessity of course, in 185C, and it was lonely, dull, dreary-tit place for frogs and suicides. That was in the olden time. Very diffatent now. True, it is not a very pretty placo yet; but it is tho centre of trado to a large aroa of coun? try, and has massed together a consid? erable population. I should not like to say how many stores there aro in Florence, but, from a rapid reconsoissance, without ac? tual count, I should say there must bo from thirty to forty. Somo of these do a considera? do business. Others, again, do very little. Ibero aro mechanics boro, restaurants, saw? mills, churches, machine shops-in short, all tho elements of a substantial and rapidly growing civilization. Florenco onjoys tho ad vantag9 of unsurpassed railroad facilities, hav? ing a railroad to the north, south, east and west. This, of course, draws considerable traffic, asido from tho shipping of tho great staples of the vicinity, colton and naval stores. Florence has no newspaper at present, but it has had ono-the Florenco Gazette; and tliero is no telling how soon one of tho two tapers now holding forth at Darlington Courthouse may take up its bid and walk ten miles lo Florence. As it is tho fashion just now for every village and cross -roads 6hop to ask our worshipful Legislature to bo made a county seat, I expect to sec, before long, in your Co? lumbia correspondence, that such a bill has boon presented in tho Houso from Florence. But the whistle blows, and wc aro off for Darlington. This is one of tho oldest and finest villages in the eastern part of the State. Although scarred and disfigured by tho ravag? es of several recent fires, tho town BLOWS every eign of having for years been tho abodo of a claBS distinguished for their woalth, culturo and refinement. I am pleased to soo, more? over, a steady improvement every year I havo visited Darlington since tho war, over tho year preceding; and iu another year or two I foci confident t at every vos tige cf war and lire will have disappeared; i. e. if tho funds can bo procured the building a courthouse and "appurtenances"-I say appurtenances bccau80 it is not polite to say "jail"-tho latter word might call up unpleasant associations or reminiscences in the minds of some of our readers. Darlington is a rich county, but of course tha trade is much divided. Timmonsvihe, Florence and Society f?ll combined get far more of it than goes to Darlington Courthouse. Some goes to Sumter, and some, perhaps, to Camden, while much of it goes dircot to Charleston or Wilmington. Darhuglon Dis? trict, according to tho census of I860 had a population of twenty thousand thrco hundred and sixty-seven, of which number eleven thou? sand eight hundrod and seventy-seven wero slaves. Thcro wetc thou, of improved lands, one hundrod and fifty-eight thousand eight hundred and forty-lour ;;crcs, and of nniupror ed three hundred thousand two hundred und eighty-one acres. C ish value ol farms $l,78u', 392. Thc number of hales of colton produced in tho district in 13(10 is set down us sixteen thousand nine hundred and twenty-three. The crop of cotton has not boon as good herc as last year; not half a crop as compared with before the war. L ist year tho crop was about 10,000 l?ales: this year it will probably not ex Osctl 8000 bales. So, ulso, I havo been told that business has not boon as good hero as in other parts of the Stale. About 2000 hales of colton havo been shipped from this depot this season. Tho large A buv ers hero aro Messrs. Parker & Kelly, for a Bal? timore house. Th9 business Iii m's hero aro : ' Parker & Kelly, Eason & Co., H irt, Parker <? Co., B. A. & J. F. Early, S. Marco, H. Hyema, A. Weiuberg, J. G. McCall & Co., 8. A. Woods, : E. W. Chailes & Co., and J. M. Woodward. 1 There are two newspapers here, tho Southern- j er and the Democrat; and there is th9 usual ? complement of doctors and lawyers. Of 1 churches there are three-Methodist, Rev. J. I Watson, pastor; Baptist, Rev. F. W. Easou, and ! Proabyterian, Hov. Wm. Biearly. A fl ?urisb- 1 in? institution hero, also, is St. Davi i's Lodge, 1 A. F. M., No. 72. I was also informed, most 1 positively, on u.e word and honor ot several ' gentlemen, that there areno "K. K. K.'s" hore, 1 nor nave thero boen any hero at any time since 1 thc wur. Tho county made about corn eucugh the 1 past year for home couattmptiuu. Meat-well, I wu going to say that it was impossible tu ' raise any moat nowheieabou;s; in lach I have said as much m quent ly of lum upon thean- : thority ot very many trustworthy persons. But 1 find it is considered very uuu.iudsuiiu lo say so. lu lact, pig has become a delicate sub? ject. Tliero are those high in tho counsels nf tuo-Stato who consider snell a stateniout libel- j loos ona majority of the "eitisens'' ot thc Statu. "But--, do you merin to Uetiy timi negroes havo been stealing, do now Bleui, 1 and will continuo to steal hogs, swi iu, shoats and pigs ?" '"I admit thc first ?nd second pro- ] positions, bul- deny too thud. Lot tho farinera ? have i leny ot pork,cuonglitor tUi'uiso?vcs and < enough for ibo negroes also," ivp.io? this high j official, "and }ou will not hear i-u much about i the difficulty of raising meat." How wise a ; man gets in a short time, when he ii: high iu ; office. We pour, low trash cannot seo it as i cloar;y. Ho.v wi il you raise more pork, ii the i darkies eat your pigs? The-'scounsel | reminds mc of the difficulty the bouovoleut ? ludtea used to find during the war in assuring l themselves that their donations of food, deli- i cacies, cordials, &c, wou.d reach the pour sick i soldiers whom they wished to befriend. The < complaint was always that thc doctora, hospi? tal stewards, nurses, matrons, and other pant- ] sites, eat up all thc turkics, jellies, canned < meats, fruit, &c, and diauk un all tho liquors. . W-icii the difficulty was slated to a surgeon, ? he Kiiggosled that the ladies shuuld send pion- I ty of gl>od things, enough fut all the attaches, I and enough atso fur tuc patients. Tais was i g-jod advico. Whether or not it was acted i upon 1 am unable to say. I believe, however, i the war closed before tba experiment was fair? ly tried. 1 Bat il is not m at only that is stolen-every thiner movable, be it of ever BO little value, tempts the thief or the robber. It is much loss troublo to pick cotton by moonlight, and sell it to the shopkeeper be/ore day, than to plough and hoe, and pick the year through, io cold weather and in hot. Honesty may be the best policy, but there are some who think stealing pays better. At all events, it yields quick re? turns, and at small outlay of time and labor. Tho consequence of all this is, tu at every halo of cotton, every sack cf wheat, oats or corn, has to be carefully guarded, and piazzas, halls, garrets, iu fact every part of tho dwelling houso, is filled with produce Farmers do not consider their property safe now, unless it is constantly under then: eye. This, of course, cannot last. If we are to have permanent peace, we must have protection of property as well as of fifo and of liberty.' From wuat quarter this relief ts to como, wbethor liom the L?gis? lature or tho courts, I cannot surmise, but I euppose, like other evils, "it will correct itself," whatever that may mein. In regard to the great questions of labor and of successful agriculture, under the new Sys? tem, I think 1 can observe an improvement. There is less despondency in rogard to the fu? ture, even arnon g the older planters, and both whito and black are gradually adapting them? selves to the circumstances of the times. Ne? groes have worked the past few years, perhaps not as much or as steadily as under tho old system; slid cotton can be successfully grown with free labor. Tho prosout high price ot the staple has mueh to do, I doubt not, with this im? provement in public sentimeLt. Wbenpeoplo get twenty-five and twenty eight cents tor their ootton, even though they only made "haifa crop," they can manage to live, and even to pay dd debts, or lay up some money, and naturally aro in better humor, than when cotton brought ten or twelve cents, and tho internal revonue took two-and-a-half to three cents of that. The Christmas holidays passed off quietly, notwithstanding the usual quantum of rumors about meditated difficulties of ono kind and another. As in overy other village in the State, BO here Chrislmaa was a sort of freedmen's saturnalia. Thousands and thousands of them were gathered here, standing in knots about the streets, arrayed in their cheap finery, look? ing at each other, and at tho magnificence dis? played in tho windows and on the shelves of tho'shops. This festivo season was further en? livened by a colored tournament-"a splendid affair," as ono of tho participants proudly in? formed mo. Sai ; informant, a tender colored youth of sixteen or thereabout, painted, with glowing imagination, the glories of ths.t tour? nament. Thursday, December 24, was the time, thc outskirts ot Darlington tho placo, and sixteen colored gentlemen thc principals engaged iu this knightly sport. Major F. F. Wurley had kindly consented to act as judge, and acquitted himself with much creditto him? self a uti to tho credit of tho sable knights. Thc sixteen colored gcntlomon, all on horse or mulo back, made four runs a piece. "But how did you know," I asked the sable tournant eu ter, 'how to do all this V "Oh, ttosccd how de whito psoplo did, and don wo jos did dc same." Tho contestants were as follows: Thc Knight of tho Forest, tho Knight ot Jeringo, the Knight ofChicora, the Knight of Butlor'd Silver Spoon, tho Knight of the Black Horse, the Kn: g Lt of tho Fig Squool, tho Kuight of the Lone Star, thoKniqhFof Darling? ton and the Knight of Florence. ' Lawrence Hunter is the name of tho victor, ho having caught six rings;, and ho forthwith proclaimed as his Dulcinea tho fair Anna Bacot, to ho honcoforth known in tho County of Darling? ton, State of South Carolina, as tho Qucou of Love and Colored Beauty. "Wo all enjoyed 1 oursolvo3 splondid," continued tho narrator, 1 "and in the evening wo had a fine supper, to < which all the (colored) ladies was invited; it < cost fifty cents ahead." "Did you danco ?" .? "0, no, sir; kaso many o' em belongs to de i church; wo jos sot and talked, but wo had a ' mighty good time." And I have no doubt 1 they had; aud I um glad of it. Healthy en- ' joyment is good for man and beast. 1 Darlington rejoices in a colorod sheriff, and i in sundry colored magistrates. If all, or even < a part of what I heard is true, I should tLink t thc negroes fare badly under the judicial and 1 ministerial officers of their own color, and of < their own selection. Tho only idea the i jgro i magistrate or sherill has ot tho administra- 1 rion of justice, is what he saw among tho pro- ) vost marshals, and other military officers ; 1 excellent for tho discipline of an army, but < perhaps not altogether compatible with the < modern notions of civil rights. I heard many ] eases in point. One must suffico hero. A ne- < gro was brought UD before a colored magie- I trate charged with cotton stealing. The guilt i was proved, tho offenoi) admitted, and the ac- < cuaed ordered to make restitution. As thc cot? ton, however, was sold, tho magistrate ordered I tho thief to bo fined twenty dollars in lieu. This < be was quito willing to do, but only < had ten dollars. However, he said, another 1 ucgro in thu same village owed him ten dollars, l which, if tho magistrate could collsct, would 1 make the twenty aoliars. Tue magistrate at once ordered tho arrest of tho said negro who j owed, or was alleged to owo, the first named ton dollars, and obliged him then and thoro to 1 produce ten dollars, or go to jail. Tho money i was paid and (ho matter adjusted, This is i primitive aud summary justico-reminding ' ono of thc wiy they do tbiugs in Ubina and j Japan. ' Tho tax executions aro anotbor featuro of i tho "new order of things," very unpalatable to I Mr. Freodman. I have hoard of eases whore ? tho polt tax. originally only ono dollar, came ] with costs to amount to four dollars and ' eighty conts; and these colored and Bepubli- I can sheriffs inako short work with the treed- I men in their executions.

TUE HLUE RIDGE RAILROAD. t i Tho Columbia Phoenix of yesterday baa tho i following encouraging paragraph iu relation to 1 the Bluo Ridge Railroad : j We leam that a full report by Colonel James ( P. Low, Chief Engineer of the Bluo Ridge i Railroad, of his recent reeomioissauoo of the ; line ot tho road from Walhalla to tho Rabuu i Gap, has beeu ruccivud by Goueral Harrison, ( tho President of tho Company. Wo aro glad t lo karn that tho deterioration of the ro ici-bed < ima bridges, which it was apprehended would i bo considerable, from tho loug interval j siuco work was suspended, ia pronounc- < ed comparatively trivial, in consequence t ol the substantial character of the work originally, and tho statement ia officially y mudo, that tho lino from Walhalla to Rabun ] Gap (the tunnels iuclu lcd) can bo com- i pletedin twenty months from tho timo that j aperations are resumed. Colonol Lowo pro- y poses at once to commence tho resurvey of tho t line, with on effective foroe of assistants, and | expects to have the working estimates ready ? for the contractors in tho early part of April; i so that theio are reasonable hopos for the com- t ploiion of the road from Anderson to thc Rabuu t Jap by the :uonth of December, 1870. As j dearly all du difficulties on tho route to Knox- t rilio are comprised within this emotion, andas \ tho rem linder ot it ia of easy construction, we i jan all rd to congratulate our readers on tho ? ?aily termination of this work, whtch will t make South Carolint thc thoroughfare, and t Charleston tho outlet, of the lmmcuso produc- t tiona ot the mighty West. > -?i ? . ? . j TUE SPARTAN lt URO ANO Ali HE VILLE < CONNECTION. I _ I Tho Columbia Pbo.iix publishes the follow? ing letter explanatory ol' tho msrits of tho I proposed extension ol the 3partuuburg and J Union Railroad : ( Wo see that a bill bas boon introduced iu tho \ Legislature of tins Stato to ai l in tho -jxten 1 ?iou of the Sparta ?burg an i Union Railroad. 'J ?juth Carolina would soon be io a very pros- i icrous condition, il her sea-ports were con- < iected*bya central, air-lino road, wi, h tiio ti States ol North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky c iud Ohio.

C., are extending their arms to grasp the rich Blores of the West, and surrounding this State with channels of trade intended to draw off tho freight, which of right should come to our own sea-ports. They propose to profit by the example of Baltimore, in building the Baltimore and Ohio'Bailroad, which has proved of incalculable advantage to that city. > Now, lot as seo how the case stands. The roads from Agaville, N. C., to Louisville Ky., are either finished or in course of construction. From Spartanborg to Charleston, 8. C., the road is in operation, leaving a gap of seventy four milos to build between Spartanburg, 8. C., and Asheville, N. 0. This route has boen surveyed bv one of tho best engineers of the country, and estimated to cost, when finished, $1,380 OOO. But il the Wilmington and Ruther? ford Road is finished, which now seems a certainty, there will tuen romain only thirty five miles of road, easy of construction, to be built in order tu mike th? connection with the North wost.. The difieren c 3 of distance, in favor of tb is route, between Louisville Ey., and Charleston, S. C., over that via Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta, is one hundred and fifty-nine miles. As between Louisville o,nd Savannah, Nash viii Chattanooga and Atlan? ta, the difference of distance in favor of the Spartanburg route is ooe hundred and forty throe miles. Asheville is nearer to Charles? ton by this route than to Beaufort, N. C., by ino hundred and nineteen mdes, and nearer to Charleston than to Wilmington, N. C., by ibout thirty-three miles. Besides, Wilming? ton is some distance from the ocean. But the State is not asked to appropriate a lollar, only to lend her credit to a road as it advances, and is built ready for use. That such a road, passing throueh tho centre of the State, by the capitol to tho sea-ports-with its carious connections at Asheville, the immense freights in store for it in tho West-may not be ible to pay tbe im arest on its bonds, we think too absurd te attempt to refute. HINTS ON AQUICULTURE. Large and Small Farms. It is a common practice of agricultural writ? ers and speakers to declaim against and to de? pr?calo the cultivation of large estates. Amer? ican farmers are characterized as having a thirst for land, of adding acre to acre, and farm to farm, of "running over their lands'- with a wasteful, careless cultivation, which yields scanty crops at large comparative expense. They aro accused of "hankering for the owner? ship of land," which, once possessed, is either ruined or loft in idiCLioss. On the other hand, ?hey speak in glowing terms ot the "small farm, well tilled;" descaut upon its large crops per acre, and the quiet, comfort, happiness, ind prosperity of tho owner. The largo farm 3i' is assured that if ho will "sell half his and. tho crops of the remainder will fill as arge barns as what he now gets from tho ivholc." Their manner of stating the caso is mob as to convoy thc idea that the land is the :auB0 of the mischief deprecated, or that a ario number of acres predisposes te shiftless management, aud injudicious or imperfect Motivation. There aro many reasons why I lissent from this idea. The principal one*is, t>ecauso I find, by a somewhat extended obser? vation, in difieren! parts of the country, away from tho uifluonees and special advantages of scarness to town and city markets, that there iro moro small farms, in proportion to the ?rholo number, that present evidences of ueg cct and bad cultivation, than there are large mes; more proofs of a Avant of enterprise md interest in the farm, and of a dosire to find it ncr means of employment among small farmers than largo. AB a general mle, small 'armers complain that they do, and caa do, but ittle, because thoy have little to do with, rhey cannot rear stock for want of suitable pasturage. They cannot cultivate their farms is they should for want of proper teams. They :anuot support goo'l fences, from tho want of imber to build with. The reasons given by his class ot farmers, in extenuation of their ihiftlcse ways, are without number, but they ill cud in about this : "Nothing can be done, tor there is nothing to do with.*' It must be ldmitted that too many of our large tarma rive indications ef a want of thorough propor cultivation, aud that there is an apparent len? iency to nogloci advantages at hand lo im ircvo thom, to increase their crops, and bet? ter tho condition of tho ownor. As a general :hing, howovor, their appearance indicates nore of thrift and proper cultivation than miall ones. Tho trouble, in all this imperfect farming, is not the quantity of land, but is ono whieh lies leeper and moro inaccessible than the subsoil pf the farms. lu mjst cases, if those large landowners were transferred to small farms, their method of operation would not be im? proved, but, on tho other hand, would grow worse, for one of thereat stimulants to enter? prise aud ira pro verne ut would be taken away. The fact is, farming, Uko commerce, manufac? turing, or mechanics, is a business pursuit, and should be conducted on the same gcnoral busi? ness principles. If those principles are con? stantly and thoroughly adhered te, m all trans? actions, lar JO or small, success is sure to follow. To persistently depart from them, even if tho scale of business is small, will result in failure. Still, men can be found in great numbera, in nearly every pursuit, who seem to act on the principle that tho amount of business done is tbe criteriou of success to themselves, and in the opinion ol' the community, aud not the manner of doing it. Merchants, manufactur? ers, and farmers alike, fall into this error. With the former, financial ruin is the result; willi tho latter, poor orops, impoverished fields, ind general deterioration. Tho natural capa? city and trained uitelligonco of tho individual no tho standard of tho amount ot business ho ".au perform well and profitably. Tno men tro nut very numerous wno have tho talent to prganizo and systematize extended business jperatious, iu select, with sure discrimination, their needed special agents, and to direct ami control all tho minuto dot ails tn attontion to ivhich lio tho olemeuts of success. There aro Stewarts in cummerco, and struwns in agricul ure, hut every mun cannot bo cither tho one tr tho other; ..nd most who atlempt it, or even step beyond the hinits of their natural ur ac iwrcd business capacity, will bo very likely to leglcct the cssontial priuciplcs ot success, and .'all. At tho samo time, ellon in a less extend? ed field of operations would bj rewarded with satisfactory rosu.ts. This is the cause why some do not succeel veil who atlempt to cultivate a largo tract of aud. But other things being equal, up to thc ncasuro of the capacity of the individual, th.* nore hud the farmer cultivates the greater viii bo his prosperity aud comtorl, and his per lent, of profit nu th-j capital invested. These principles apply to the individual, but there uro cogent reasons of a general na; ure which nclinemcto favor huve farms, and to consider hom a natural American characteristic. The ipirit and genius of our iusututions and noo )leinclino te stimulato thom to grand aud ex ended operations. As compared with tho Old iVoiid, everything hero is ou a large scale, and uh scupe is lound fur tho development of tho nust untiring energy and most active and ex ensivc enterprise. Our pepple take inspira? ron from their surroundings, and tho con? cious aa->urauco thal no arbitrary power will rrest irum them tho results ot their labor.

Wu havo au unlimited extent of laud, a argo purl ion of it ofioiuarkible fertility, aud, ?unipared with it, a spar.su population. Amen? ai! i genius has developed and mado ready to IUI hu nd every soi l of agr.culttiral machinery rbcrebyour power to eui irate our acres and larvcst their products ia increased many tuld. I h: whole ul uar va.it territory is threaded and uicriaced with ra hoad and water communl utiou, so that the products of our iu >st remote ind ?ecluded sections have quick, cheap, and ?asy communication io the city und seaboard nuits of tradu lor a profitable market. Is hero anything in the nature or circum itancca ol this pursuit which prevents it from trailing itself ut theso natural and artificial idvautugcs tu bo conducted on a sea o as ex onded and profitable as other pursuits? It ?anuos oe; and tu enable us to see it more hearty in this light, let us examine some ol ho disadvantages und drawbacks ot tannins A a small way. lu tho eas torn and older mr lions of the country, and iu different local riOd iu that section, tue farms that are called mall usually contain from twenty-five to ?fly acres, and largo lunns from fifty to two mildred. This clarification excludes those Wots of lind near tko cit es. that are used ex husivcly for gardening purposes. On these imall farms tho system ot cultivation and thc tropa grown aro siinilur, if not identical, with Lo system and crops ol' tho large larras, only eas ia extent. To this course of cropping the smaii iarmur ?a umT vj wibo ^ tumm stances. The person who cultivates thirty or ' forty acree in grass, grain, roots, or to special crops, and keeps the animals to consume his projnots, finds he needs, for success io his hu? smeas, identically the outfit in machines, im? plements and tools as the man who has a farm of one hundred and fifty acres. Although he hos not half so much for them to do, and cannot make them earn him half so much as they would the large farmer, he cannot get on without, and must havo his mowing-machine, horse-rake, tedder, and horse-fork. He needs the same ploughs in kind and number, the same cultivators and harrows, and the same variety, but perhaps a little less in number, of all the numberless hand tools of the farm. Thus our email farmer finds himself compelled to in? vest as fixed, but very perishable capital, nearly as much as bis neighbor who carries on three times his number of acres. In the matter ot team, he is in precisely the same con? dition. Ho can hardly orford to keep a pair of horses for farm work, but in the busy sea? son of tho year, when his work most be done, if done at all. everybody is more than busy it is impossible to hire. Necessity, therefore, compels bim to buy and own a team, though it be idle one-third of the year. The capital invested in this rapidly deteriorates, and it is a yeariy expense which necosaity alone will I justify. It may be said, such a man can exchange team and borrow tools and machines, but that is generally out of the question; but if it could be done, is a practice which, for many reasons, is utterly abominable, and should be always condemned. But his extra, expense per cent, on bis capital invested in land does not end here. Ho cannot with his extent of acres af? ford to hire tbe help necessary to perform many kinds of work to advantage, as it would be idle or unprofitably employed much of the time: therefore he performs much work at a disadvantage, and loses thereby. He has one third as much atock of tho different kinds, and one-third tho amount of products to market, as the person tilling the large farm, but yet it costs him nearly as much in thought, care and attention, nearly as much to tend and watch bis stock, to guard them from evil, and promote their comfort, and nearly as much to seek his market and sell his products. These, and many other perplexing disadvan? tages, ore inseparably connected with farm? ing in a small way, and . ure a tax OD the patience and oom fort of the farmer, and the income of the farm, which the large farmer avoids. I, therefore, am brought to the in? evitable conclusion that np to our individual business capacity, tho larger the farm the greater is tho per cent, of profit oe the capi? tal invested, and the higher the compensation for the thought, care and labor bestowed. Tho point to bo aimed at is, to do thoroughly and well all we undertake to do, and to under? take no more than we ?an reasonably expect to perform, for those are the roal clements of success in all business. The mau who in that manner can do a business of fifty thousand dollars annually, is better off than if be do one-half of that amount ; and tho farmer who eau care for two hundred or moro acres in that manner is the better and more successful for it, and should be encouraged to go on to his best capacity. Tho tirade against land is use? less. Most men w.ll fellow their instincts instincts engendered by national and surround? ing influences-to own all the land they cae buy. Therefore, the true field of labor ot those who attempt to influence public opinion and pnvate action in tb s matter, who desire to.see great improvement in agriculture, and greater profits accruing to it, is to point out clearly tbe principles which underlie agriculture as a busi? ness, and urge over and over, line upon line, piecopt upon precept, that they be adhered to -arge to complete thorough cultivation and fertilization of evory acre farmed-urge to con? stant, exact attontion and personal supervision of nil tho minute details which are the elements of success, and to own no more land, and to do no moro business, than can be done i u the most thorough and complete manner, and to 'own as much and 'do as much as oan be thus performed. [Hearth and Home. CURIOUS DISCOVERS IN MEDICINE.-Dr. Hum? boldt, nephew to the lato illustrious German, in his practice at Havana, has ascertained that the pogson of the scorpion ti ihe is a remedy for yellow fever. Ho inoculated two thousand four hundred and seventy-eight men of the military and naval g.rrison; six huudred and seventy-six afterwi ie caught the fever, or whom no more thin sixteen died. A distin? guished Frenchma 1 M. DeGasperin, having heard of those iaot < < ?ted by one Dr. Dcsmar tis. communicated to him a fact in his own ex? perience. He had long been afflicted with rheumatism, which kept him almost constant? ly infirm. One day, in picking up a haudful of weeds in his garden, he was stung by a wasp ou the wrist. The arm swelled, bat the rheu? matic pain disappeared. Seeing thia result, he causod himself to be stung the next day along tho seat of pain in his leg, and was again delivered from suffering and able to walk with ease. This happened turco years ago, and every subsequent reappearance of the malady has been cured by a similar means; and byt a wasp sting on the neck of M. DeGasperin, an attack of broncbilis was overcome. PRINTING XN NEW YORK.-Tho employing printers heida meeting at tho Astor House ID New York on Friday.
