AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. Wouthern A*rlcnltur?. EU*. Country Gentleman: The past lew weeks a great many editor*, writ bra and other persons on their way to the exhibition at New Orleans, have t>a*sed through the Southern States, eonio of them for the flr*t time. To those who have beoomo acquainted with southern agriculture by longer experlonco, tho viows of theso well meaut but mistakon persons gathered from tho car windows, seem to be ox ceodinglv erude or incorrect. Tho general Idea current among them Is, that tho southern soil is poor and in fertile, and tho southern people wretch ed and very inadequately cared for by themselves.' "Circumstances alter cases," and this applies very forcibly, to tho agriculture and tho pcoplo of tho Southern States. Tho flrst strango thing which ia re marked is tho old pine Holds and tho hrooin sedgo which covers tho turned out land which has not grown up with timber. This, it is to bo confessed, along with tho water-worn gullies which scar and seam the laud, and the abundant weeds, arc at lirst disr.greea bio to the eyo of a farmer used to tho belter cultivation ot tho Northern and Western Statos, but one may be easily mistaken in hlB view of even these. I havo heard persons remark us the cars sped through tho best part of the cot ton belt, "what wretched weeds these arc which cover all the land." Where do these southern people grow any thing. At the same time these weeds wera the stalks of cotton which may have turned out $60 worth to the acre. In tho samo manner the old llclds arc not n bit worse than the old-fashioned baro fallows which used to bo so com mon in the best farmed districts of tho North, for. they are really one and the Mmo way.' of restoring land to somo degree of fertility by means of tho natural nrocess ot resting it. Of tho two mothods I prefer the sou thorn one, ~^tn^I^wotrid-ratl?er-grow a crop of weeds or timbor 0:1 unused laud, than leavo it baro and plowod, for even one summer. And it is an absoluto neces sity of southern agriculture that this system of turning out land should bo practiced. Where 110 stock is kept, or very little, I seo no other resource for tho planter of cotton and tobacco than to work his lands up to a certain point and then resort to his only possible mothod of following as a means of res toration. Ho is bound by his climato and his other environments, and as the ootton region of tho South is not a stock country, and never will bo a dairy region, and is not a very good corn country, and seems to havo been mado for cotton and tobacco, with a sufficient quantity of grain, fodder and meat to supply the domestic consump tion only, tho southern farmer must ' liot/bo judged by a test which is en tirely foreign to his circumstances. 1 extthing which is conspicuous ?>or dwellings that aro so corns louses without gables and opon -forest barns in newly settled in the North. This,' too, is a jfc of the case. If any of these wlnterXbitors would pass "over tho gam&Kiuto in Julv, August and Sep tenaber^ihey would seo the advantage of these airy daflBings in qulto a dif ferent light. U^OMry man to his taste, and if Sonf^Pn pcoplo desiro such houses, and ofl^Ljalglass iiyfljo windows, I would (ftreitie^v their uu doubtod right to hflive them. 1 have* met with tho kindest hospitality, and with tho most delicate and careful consideration in houses of thi* kind, and would consider tho character of v? iivuiiuua .unih) iiuving u 10I0 in tho centra for a chimucv pitaft say that I enjoyed life theii lite as tnuoh as iu a house with every "HmXtory of modern fashion, it is not the house, but tho man in it which is tho true tost. But It would bo.A very great mistake to think that one .boos everything from the car vHndows, and that"there are as wofl cultivated farms or comfortable houses in the South, or that southern farmers aro not competent to juilpo for themsolvea of what is the fittest toi* thorn. Tt makes a vi ry groat change in ono's opinions when ho is brought fhceto faco with now necessities. This applios very forcibly to the South, both in regard to its agriculture and its social and political conditions, and a Northern man moviong to tlie South must froo his mind from tho force of prejudioe* and be prepared to begin a new life and vlow things from a dif ferent point of view if ho.would be either successful or happy. It is theso prejudid and tho doteruiination to roinain '?ftlens and foreigners in a Btrahno ldnd, which presents tho suc cess of what aro called Northern colo nics in tho South. From my expe rience of these onterprisos I am very much opposed to them and would roc omraond persons dosirous of moving to the South to avoid thcin as far us possible, and to make themsolves at home among their new neighbors, and above all things to avoid towns founded by speculators and land sharks, who ** try to attraot victims by calling their enterprises Northorn colonics. As auow*fi*kes falling into tho ocoau and quietly mingling with tho surrounding element, go must porsons who go to s the South mingle with the people, aiid lose ?b*!" identity in tho general mass, No" doubt an enorgotle northern man would And opportunities for changing tho methods of ngrlculturo in the South, and mostly in those locali ties where tho oHmato moro nearly ap proaches that Of tlm North as it does in the mountain region which I havo been describing. But oven in tho low Country, whero cotton is supreme, a northern farmer eau improve upon tho prcsoni mothods, which b chiefly marked by a strong dread and iba: of grass. The southern is naturally a grass region, and tlioro aro several native varieties whioh grow with pro Alston. Now grass is tho basis of agriculture everywhere, and if the southern far mors would grow grass v ana plow it under for their cotton orops. as a rotation, f fool certain it would greatly benefit them. I havo no fear of grass, having learned tho , valuo of that so-called pest, quack grass, and how to manago it, and am certain that by snob moans as are usod in the north to keep down grass in cul tivated fields, no southern farmer need dread tho worst of their native grassos and would find them a mo>>t valuable aid in the in.provemont of their lands. Another grand enterprise ; for tho South is shoop j oaring for woo) chiefly. Wool ean be grown in tho South for ten cents a pound* and certainly for les? thai! a pound of cotton. There are ample opportunities In tho South for oompeting favorably with the South American plains in this Indus try. Lambs ean bo raised through ?< (he winter and can bo shipped to northern markets with profit. Eggs and poultry would afford also a large business, and eould easily compoto ^Ith Germany and Prance In supply ing tho demands of northern marfcots ?.^now mot by importations from Ku But_tho cotton orop in the loW rds the grand prist fbr &.

Sir J. R. L. twee's Kxperiwcnts. Dr. J. B. Laws, the great English Agricultural experimenter, has raised wheat on thosamft laud for forty years. Without manure of any kind tho vlold averaged 14 busnols per acre. With 1-4 tons of farm-yam manure applied ovorv year, tho avera^o vield has been 82 bushels and 12 quarts per acre. With mineral manures (t. e., superphosphate of lime, sulphate of potash, soda, magnesia, etc ) and without any nitrogenous manures, the vield for 32 years has averaged 15 bushels and one peek per acre. With nitrogen alone (ammonium sail*) tho yield has avccoged 204 bushels per acre for 32 year?, though but 17 bushels and 24 quarts for the last 1G wars, with nitrogen olono (nitrate of'soda) the average yield for the 32 voars has been 234 bushels?for the second 16 years 20 bushels and ono peck. Final ly, with nitrogen, phosphoric acid potash, soda and magnesia (forming a complete manure), tho average vield has been, per acre, 32 bushels' and three peeks, or on an areraee 12 quarts more per acre each vcar than tho aver age yield given by the 13 tons of farm yard manure. Fanners, ? those of vou who buv concentrated fertilizers', and, indeed, those of you who do not, would do well to studv tho above results.? llural New Yorker. TIIK CIIA III, KM TON CUSTOMHOUSE.

After a graceful acknowledgment of gratitude to his inquiring irlonds Mr. Davis said that during a visit to his plantation on tho | river in January last ho was exposed in a boat, and g.uting wet suffered severely with inflammatory rheuma tism, which had compelled iilm to keep to h<H bed for several weeks.

OIK. GRANT'S Oai. An Kltbont* Statement of lh* Symptom* ??d Condition of the Patloot. Nkw Your, Anrll 16.?That tho public may be enabled to thoroughly understand the caso iUelf and form re liablo opinions, tho following absolute fact# aro given as a basis ior pnblio and personal judgment: Gen. Grant is not greatly emaciated about the body. He has lost soiuo flesh.- but how much cauuot bo told as he has not been weighed iu soino time and is not much changed. But he has u careworn * anpouranee. Tho gland is swollen on tho right sido and tho swelling outside varies as thero is more or less swelling on tho insido. The glandular swelling has at nu timo been larger than a pigeou's egg. It is located at the angle of the right jaw. It has never entirely disappeared sinco it came months ago. Tho swolling 1b duo first to tho irritation of growth aud finally to tho progress of the dlsoaee in the glands themselves. Thero is no positive evidence at present that the glands havo become actively dis eased, though the presumption is that they arc dUeascd. The discaso does not afl'ect any of the processes of tho General's car. There is somo danger of that, a possibility, but no probabil ity at present. It is notvoing in that direction. The disease is spreading verv gradually backwards into the back pait of tho throat and behind the palate. It lias communicated some what to the back part of the noso in front and above the palate. There is 110 lump on the tongue. It is an ulcer far back on tho side of the tongue?a small ulcer. It has never been shown to its whole extent, but it is a small ulcer, irregular in shape and from a quarter to halt an inch iu diameter. There is a discharge from the ulcerated surface. The discharge is composed of mucus, brokon down tissue and some little matter. In other words it is muco-pus. This exudes from an ulcerated surface that includes the palate, the back part of the throat and the right ^tdc of tho tongue^?There is a chrtnce for the general improvement^ of the patient by the temporary arrest ot the disease. The atmosphere on the mountains, or of the West, would in fair weather bo better for the General than tho salt air of the seaboard. In all cancerous cases in the throat tncro are complications of irritation about the throat which might be called acci | dents of the discaso, and it is these complications that have given trouble i rather than the stoady progress of tho discaso. In this ca6e the complications I are swelling of the throat, increase of inflammation, spasm, homorrhago and increased flow of mucus. | Six drops or minims of morphia aro given each twenty-four hours, just enough to control pain and induce sleep. Without morphia the pain would at times bo un*<?orablc. Tho General takes for food from 0110 to two tumblers full of mixture of beef extract and egg and milk every two to four hours, night and day. Nkw Youk, April 1C.?Senator Cliaf feo said to*day that General Grant had either cancer or ulccrated sore throat. If the former was tho cuso, ho would inevitably die; if tho lattor, ho would recover. It was his own (Chaffee's) bolief that tho troublo was caused by an ulcerated soro throat only. Gen eral Grant himself was of this opinion, and was almost coufldont that ho would ultimately rccovor. Mr. Chuffeo said, as he went away, "I think tho Goneral will recover." New Yoiik, April 17?8.30 A. M.? Goneral Grant has had a vory refresh ing sloop. He says ho has rested bet tor than for many nights and feels strong oiiouJMMMMBppTITlt~TfmnrfTrr tho day. his nourish^ mcnt withowHHHPewallowing and has not sin? last nighty'been disturbed by coughing. Puleo and temperature unchanged. Nkw York, Anril 18?8.30 A. M.? General Grant fell into a quiet sleop immediately after 10 o'clock and slept woll until 2 a. in., whon ho awoko and took nourishment. lie soon fell asleep again and sleptuutilfi, when ho awoko and nourishment was again given him. Ho then slept lightly until G, whon ho awoke fully, took liis coffoo, dressed and is now moving about tho rooms. His pulsoancl temperature aro normal. Dr. Douglas said this afternoon that tho patient was doing as well as oh yesterday, if not better. A Gloomy View of tho Ca?n. (Sprriid to the News and Courier.) Nkw Youk, April 17.?Tho reaction of sentiment which now leads many porsons to believe that Gen. Grant inay really get well has, according to the doctors, no reliable foundation. Dr. Douglns, who stands at tho head of his profession as an oxpert in cancer disease, says that from tho first look ho had at Gon. Grant's throat in tho early autumn, ho knew tho General's fa to was sealed. Tho disease is taking a course oxactlv similar to that noted in scores of hospital cases, and although tho doctors do not deem it their duty to contradict ovcry expression of hope utterod by tho family and friends of tho illustrious sufferer, they aro nono tho less positive when seriously ques tioned. Gon. Grant's vitality has proved to be greater than tlicv expect ed; that is tho only commont which they can make upon his apparent ro turn from the very gates of doath. It is also possible that tho extraordinary care and skill with which Ids cuso has been troatod may havo helped to pro long his lil'o. There havo been two or three moments during tho last month when he would havo died had it not been for tho presonco of a physician. It is safo to say that if Gon." Grant lasts until summer ho will astonish his doctors. Tho ups and downs concern his general condition alono and have no relation to tho cancer, tho growth of which Is perfectly steady. When tho end comes it will come without warning. A Ifi;XI)ltKI> III" It KI.S DUOIVNKII. Tim Nnv?l ftT?tli<?1 by Which th? OiiliimhUn (lov?rnm?nt Olnpniir* <>? rc<l ltr>vo liitlonlitH.

London, April If)?In the Cabinet Council to-day the Anglo-Iiu-^ian sit uation, it is said, was represented to bo as follows: England and i'ussia have agreed upon a basis for the de limitation of the Afghan frontier, ?ul> joct to a satisfactory explanation by Russia of the recent attack on tin Afghans. According; to this scheme, it is said that I'enjdeh will be ceded to Russia, provided the Ameer con-amis Recruiting for the British navy con tinues with groat activity, the iidinii al ly having invited navy pensioners to volunteer. Pams, April \b.~f.n Pais. savs that in the event of war between England and Russia other powers, especially France, must remain neutral. Follow ing the above oeelaration, f.a Paix hints that these powers have already reached an agreement to remain neu tral. London, April 10.?A special dis patch from Vienna to the, Daihf Teh'., yuiph gives the following: AI. Do (tiers, tiio Kussian Premier, sent a tel egram to Haron Do Staal, (lie, Russian Minister at London, in tlie.-e word?: "I am charged by the Czar's personal command to request you to inform tho Rritish Government Hint in tin; (Jy.ar'n opinion war would be deplora ble to both count l ies. The C'/.ar firm ly hopes Hint a prompt ami simple ar rangement wiil be established."' In reply to this, Huron De ttfattl tele graphed M. De Ciers that the English Cabinet gladly accepted De (tier's com munication. M. Lossar, the Special Envoy of Russia, in nn interview to-day. said that arrangements for the o.e.s ion o( Ponjdcb to Rus-da had lot yet been completed, but that uegofinlions were nroeccding favorably. The Ameer, ho thought, would oiler no objection lo the cession of IVnjdeh to Km-sia, as the tribe*, occupying that place and other portions '?I'11i?i territory which have been in dispute have for !? long time caused him inuch uocasine-s on account <it their rebellious <-j?? i ii. and acts of violence. London, A pi il IV.-Mr. Clad-Dme, in (lie House of ( ominous this alter noon, stn(e<l that the government, had to-day received from sir IVter I,nm den a reply to their reipie-t for an inde pendent, report upon the IVnjdeh inci dent. In this it is stated thai (ieneral KomaroU' was aware, at n* oarlv a date as the ^Hth of Mnivh, of the understanding agreed npon on M oeh 17 between HiDsia and England. A' cording to the terms of this under standing England was to deter the Afghans and the Czar \vn? to deter Ids troops from advancing beyond the poKiiions they liien rexpcel ively occu pied until some subsequent. agr<fluent about the dcmarka'i.Mi ol the Afghan frontier could be reneheil between the two governments. The battle on tho Kiishlv Kiver was fought, therefore, several days alter KomarofV had been made aware of the agreement to not advance. It will bo remembered that. Captain Yates, the Hritish officer who witnessed the battle, was assured by tho Russian oflie.er who eaininanded in tho fight that he knew nothing of tho understanding of the 17th of March. Sir Peter I.umsdon's report appears to warrant inference that w hatever Koin arOfl' know officially about tho St. Petersburg agreement with London lie kept to himself.
