To lU^Farmeri ANII Plantera qt South Carolina. The tiiW hos como for ns to" think. That great .God, which hoe given to man all his blessings, ha? commanded him to til?th?'gr?ti'rl 1. Heneo ho has made tho tilling Of the earth the foundation of all civilization. ; Look abroad upon man from tho creation and everywhere he is a savage-^a roaming barbarian, till he sits down to make his bread by the sweat of his face. High and low are dependent on it for bread-high and low are alike affected by its prosperity or decline. It is, therefore, the most important of all the labora of man. And, therefore, tho most important interest for thu nursing protection of government. To till tho ground, tho arts are necessa? ry. Civilization progresses as the arts aire cultivated. Linguistic scholars toll us that tho root from which tho word "art" is derived, means to plough. Governments are instituted to protect the life, liberty and property of their peo? ple, and to advance civilization and the general welfare by all means ia their power. Government can in no way more effectually do this, than by opening the avenues to scientific education. The laws of soience spring from the laws of na? ture, and, when understood, prepares man for usefulness. To illustrate : A potter selects his clay with care, kneads it well, thoroughly prepares his house, both for protection and use, fixes his round-table, makes his clay into balls and places them iu proper vats to keep them moist and ready at any time for use. When thus prepared, tho potter can take any one of his balls and mould it as readily into a pitcher as a jug ; a cup as a saucer ; or into any other pat? tern the clay is qualified for aud his art eau execute. In this house, thus pre? pared, he is independent of tho outer world, except for his bread. So would a full education make men. To du this successfully, education should bo con? sidered in a four-fold relation: %. That which directs our attention to God and immortality; 2. That which teaches us our duties to our fellow-men; 3. That which enlarges and gives control of our mental faculties; and 4, That which pre? pares us for a particular avocation. The first class, that which directs our attention to God and immortality, should begin in the nursery, and be continued, and be a part of all future instruction to manhood. 2. That which teaches~our duties to our fellow men, should also be early and forcibly impressed, from youth to man? hood. With reverence and filial fear to? wards God, the moral faculties are, com? paratively, easy of development. Then man is fortified with pnre and noble principles that, in the hour of fierce temptation and trial, he will be covered in an armor for protection. Inspire him with the love of the beautiful-set be? fore his view a pattern of refined man? ners; let him see what is excellent in painting, music and poetry; call his attention to birds and insects, then to his own organism, to see with what admi? rable aptitude the internal constitutions of nature's works are to their external circumstances. Let him see what is sublime in nature; present him with examples of moral grandeur, and kindle within him ^aspirations of glory, honor and immortality-then yon will havu a man bent to do justice and love mercy. 3. That which gives control and strengthens the mental faculties, should have a large scope. Embracing first and prominent, mathematics, chemistry, as? tronomy and philosophy, to cultivate thc faculty of reason; and the classics, to cul ti vate the faculty of language. 4. Under this bead, all the sciences art embraced, in addition to the first three classas. But moat prominent snoh as ar? allied to, and necessary for, success in the avocation he may choose for himself With a full understanding of all these heads, the man is then independent oj the outer world, except for his bread, lei him take to whatever pursuit he may Theo he can mould his lump of clay inte any shape. A knowledge of the first of thest classes prepares a man to be a lawyer doctor or divine. But it requires tbs fourth to make a successful general statesman, farmer or mechanic. A ful education has many and great advan tages, and, most important of all, it can not be taken away from him. It make: him active, enterprising, circumspect far-sighted, and prepared for any omer gency. Abovo these it secures to him th< regard of the wise and good, and ht learns to respect himself. To him mei look for counsel. Of him his countr claims deliverance in times of dange: and distress. He is the pilot to steer tlx ship of State into a safo harbor. Still, learning the sciences without th< proper moral training, will neither makt a safo leader nor a happy and prosperoui people. To do both, the young mus be inspired with reverence for their pa rents and old age; with propor deferenci for the opinion of the wise and good o all ages, and with that graceful diffidenc in their own sagacity and power, whiol leads them to have due respect for th records of wisdom of the past; tha honest candor and earnestness in con templating all things whioh strives t hunt truth-and a total absence of ar rogant forwardness and self-suffioienoy which considers everythiog silly or cse Ies3 that does not agree with their own views, or does not;conform''to Custom. With a full education, the mau bf energy cnn turu himself to nny hf tho p?rstiits of life with con Od once of success. But what in this country und ago will be cousidered strange,, though yet strict? ly true, it requires a more extensive, sci? entific kuowledge to make a successful farmer or planter than forjany other pur? suit of mau. YJcf| fiome| tillers of the ground of''more than ordinary capacity, und of good judgment, closely watchiug his own and tho experience of others, havo gono so far ahead of tho generality of tillers, as to bo by them considered successful. But to draw from the earth, air and water tboir completo aud united power of production, demands in the operator tho capacity of a general, to dis? ciplino and command his laborers; of a merchant, to keep accounts of all things connected with his farm, his experi? ments, sales and purchases; of the politi? cal economist, to know how to prepare, when and where to send his procruots to the most advantageous markets, and what products to raise to suit his soil and climate, by which to secure the greatest profit; of the chemist, to ana? lyze the soil, the plants, and the manure he uses; tho historian of both ancient and modern nations, and especially the political condition of the nations around him; and of the mathematician most of all, for strengthening the mind so as to grasp and muster all other knowledge. Ho should understand all about mecha? nism and its laws, to see that all his tools and implements are not only in order, but properly adupted to tho purpose in? tended, aud how best to adapt the draft to thc animal. He should understand hygiene, to manage tho disenses of man and beast. Ho should be able to distin? guish bet ween the birds aud insects that arc beneficial and those tbnt ure injuri? ous to his crops, and how to protect the one and destroy the other. He ought to know all about vegetable physiology; tho effects of light, heat, water, electricity and the air upon vegetation. There are also the sciences of botauy, mineralogy and hydraulics, if not more, essential to insure the maximum of success. When thus prepared, it may suit his fancy to study divinity, law or medicine, for either of which he is doubly armed. And he is eminently prepared to bo a statesman to guide the helm of State, or a general to lead armies, or a farmer to draw fium the earth, air and water the maximum of tho blessings our kiud Fa ther has there li.?ed for the tue of mun. But let it not bo supposed that educa? tion, however extensive in scionce, with? out that traiuiug which inculcates rever? ence for God and good-will towards their fellows, will muka men fit to give counsels. Ou the contrary, uninfluenced by the couuscls of moral rectitude, tho higher thc instruction, the better able is he to do iujury to his fellows. For ho is thou qualified to make a scientific coun? terfeiter or gambler, a scientific pick? lock or pick-pocket, and may raise him? self to thc unenviable reputation of a vulture fattening on the property and character of his species.

In no country on the face of tho globe is it so completely domesti? cated as in our own, whoro it ?B found in nearly ovory household.

If taken aa a pre? ventive, they will bo found particularly well suited to tho diaeaaes arising from the un? healthy season of antumn, and their use will prevent tho creeping, unpleasant sensation often complained of when the chills are steal? ing slowly upon tbo pationt.
