Meeting. *Hj, (?T ,.' r
OejAunuMi-^Aa It js expected that each
B??Wf w llTR V;iub nhitfl make a report of
some experiment, I take this opportunity to
ft* present the following, on hay making :
About the first of May, I had a ten acre
lot of good river bottom land plowed lip,
with double plows, from 8 to 10 inches
fieew ; the land wae then well harrowed with
* good two-horee iron-tooth harrow, across
the plowing, and then rolled with n cast
'irort two-horse.roller, in order to make iho
.surface as smooth as possible. The lend
was soon covered with crab grass. In con
sequence 6f the hot, dry weather, I had almcst
despaired of realitlng n crop ; but after
the heavy rain which fell about the 1st of
September, it revived and grow off rapidly,
and continued to improve until the latter
part of September, when it was from two to j
three feet high, at which time 1 cut it with j
scythes. The plan 1 adopted for curing
was, to have what was-xjut in the morning
. turned over and stacked up about four or five
hours after it was cut, and that part of it
that had from four to six hours sun on it was
then put into common size shocks and remain*
d until the next day about ten o'clock,
or until the dew was entirely off, at which
time tbey wero again opened nnd the hay
again spread, anu remained so until evening,
when it was put into shocks again, and!
remained so until the dew was off' next day.
when the)* were opened and spread as above
stated ; iu the afternoon, such as was sufficiently
cured 1 had packed into the barn.
I measured one acre and obtained from
that 7,075 pounds of well cured bay, which
I sold for 75 cents per cwt. in Augusta ; it ;
was weighed at the city scales, and at that j
low prico amounted to $57.50. At $1 per j
hundred, the amount would have been $70,-1
75 ; at $1.25 per hundred $115.12. These
prices are not unfreqtiently paid for an arti- 1
cle in no way superior. 1 think there were 1
three or four ncres in the lot a< good as the |
one I measured ; the balance not more than
two-thirds as good. At the rato sold, the
whole lot would amount to $100 ; and of
course still higher at increased rates, as
shown above.
I would simply call the attention of the
members to the fact that if this crop had '
been made under favorable seasons, and if '
sold at the average price that Northern hay
commands in Augusta, which is about j J
$1.50, it would amount to $020, or $92 per
acre.
My impression is that two crops may l?e
taken from the same land by commencing
earlier in the season, and there is no crop 1
more profitable with the same amount of 1
labor.
All of which is respectfully submitted. !

Effkc-t of Coi.n ox the Physical Ex- '
krgiks.?Bayard Taylor gives the following
account of the effects of extreme cold, upon
the Finns: >
" I was at first a little surprised to find f
the natives of the North so slow, indolent and ?
improvident. We have an idea that a cold i
climate is bracing and stimulating?ergo, t
the further noith you g\ the more active i
nnji energetic you will find the people. Bui ;
the touch of i:e is like that of fire. The i
Tropics relax. Iho Polo benumbs, and the i
{rraclical result is thai in both cases, In the ;
ong, long winter, when there are but four t
hours of twilight to twenty of darkness? t
when the cows aro housed, llic wood cut, t
the hay gathered, the barley, bran, and fir t
bark stowed away for bread, and the sum- t
mer's catch of fish salted ? what can a man j (
do, when his load of wood or hay is hauled ! <
homo, but eat," gossip and sleepj To bed t
at nine, and out of it at eight in iho morn- t
ing, smoking and dozing between tlio slow
performance of his daily duties, ho becomes
as listless and duil as a hibernating bear.
In the summer lie has perpetual daylight, i
and need not hurry. Resides, v/hy should : ?i
InJ give himself special trouble to produce I.s
an unusually large crop of flax or bai ley, j
when a single night may make his labors c
utterly profitless ? Even in midsummer the
bbghtning frost may fall. Nature, see ins to! \
take a cruel pleasure in thwarting him ; lie , *
is fortunate only through chance ; and thus't
a sort of Arab fatalism and acquiescence in 1 i
whatever happens, takes possession of him. ' i
Iiis improvidence is also to bo ascribed to .<
the same cause. Such a fearful famine and j t
suffering as exists this winter in Finland and j c
Lapland might, no doubt, have been partial j >
ly prevented, but no human power could [ i
have wholly forestalled it. i

?The New York Evening l\?t announces
that its editor, William Cullen Bryant has, '

and youngest daughter. The period of his |'
absence is not determined upon. The Al- *
bany Statesman explains the reason of Lis j s
departure. It says: "Mr. Bryant leaves j t
the country broken-spiiited and in disgust, t
Over-persuaded by those with whom lie was, t

Walker's Arrival at New Orleans.?The
Empire City reached her wharf at seven
o'clock ; ten-thousand people were present.
Gen. Walkey, accompanied by Col. Jacques, (
Mr. Pitcher, and Mr. Turner, agent of the
associated press, proceeded in carriages to
the St. Charles, where Walker spoke, ex
pressing his thanks for tho reception ; recognizing
the American love of liberty in the
masses, and assuring them that victory was
still sure. The greatest excitement exists in
the city. Walker spoke twice.
The California papers discredit the story
of Crabbe's defeat and execution. Walker
surrendered because Canud?? Davis signified
liis intention of seizing the schooner Grana
da, which held Walker's reserve. Walker
was kept a prisoner by the U. S. commander
at Panama, notwithstanding the terms
of capitulation allowed him and his ofiicers
to retain their side arms and liberty.

The Atheneum
Wc heartily endorse the suggestions of
our neighbor of the Patriot, concerning the
establishment of a Heading Room in our
town. It might he made the means of affording
entoitainmcnt to hundreds of young
men and others in our community who have
no stated enjoyment* during the afternoons
and evenings. During the winter months,
especially, a thing of this sort might add
largely to the entertainment of otir citizens.
Popular lecturers would be invited to address
them, and thus afford an opportunity to our
people at large to hear distinguished lecturers
and speakers, who, perhaps, would never
otherwise visit our town in those capacities. I
Our exchanges, and many valuable periodicals
that accumulate upon our table, will be
cheerfully contributed.
The Philosophian Society.
The members of this Society, connected

The entertainment of the city's guests '
from the West has been a grand affair.
Almost, since their arrival, everything has
been in a stato of excitement. The blasts
of horns and sounds of the drum have fallen
on the ear from every quarter, and near- 1
ly without cessation. The hotels were I
crowded as perhaps they never were before. 1

ble (hougli, when a great many were scarce- (
ly ever in them, a greater portion of their '
time being taken up by dinners, suppers, '
balls and excursions. The procession form- *
ed on Citadel Square at ten o'clock, and 1
marched through Meeting, Broad, and East '
Bay streets to the Battery. It was about a (
mile long, and though not so numerous as
the one in Memphis, still it presented a '
magnificent sight. It was preceeded by '
the military; the Charleston Light Dra- '
goens in advance, and followed by the Fire 1
Companies, guests, and citizens generally. '
The Mayors and AlJeifnen of the principal '
cities of Georgia and Tennessee and from f
Iluntsville, Ala., in all numbering nine,
were in the procession and followed by the
cilizeus of Charleston, who brought up the
rear. The display of the rich and brilliant
uniforms of the infantry and artillery, with
the still brighter, though less attractive, ones
of the firemen of red, white, blue, green,
and many different kinds, all coining in regular
succession as far as the eye could see,
composed a scene upon which one could not
look but with delight and admiration. The
generals and colonels and their staffs, with |
their waving plumes and clanking accoutrements,
borne along in seeming pride by their "
richly caparisoned and eager chargers, form- ?

preceding ono of the Memphis fire cornpa- a
nies, the " Liberty," ami belonging to it, 1
was an open wagon beautifully painted and
finished and drawn by four splendid greys. s
It contained their band in tho sent let uni* ,

the largest and best it has ever been my I

was soon to be mingled with the surging ,
billows of the briny deep. Mr. Douoi.ass, i
in bis speech at the Lattery, alluded to this I
marriage of the waters, and said for the life !
of bin) he could not tell which was the
bride or bridegroom. That evening at the ,
supper, Mr. Ykadom, of the Courier, explained
it, by saying that it was not cusI
r.._ ?
l luiunijr iui uuo bo young in years as Hie
Father of Waters, to consort with a bride
who dates as far back as the Atlantic ; but
that there was nothing unnatural, and, in
fact, it was quite guslomary for a hale old
gentleman to take a youthful wife to his
bosom, and it was quite proper for the Atlantic
to inarry ^Vu-Sippi or any other miss.
The ball came off on Friday evening. The
Hall was beautifully decorated with flowers
and draped with the glorious stars and
stripes, and with flags bearing the emblem
of the States represented on the occasion.
The attendance was very large, much more
so than was anticipated, ipdging from the
number disappointed in procuring tickets.
Arrivals commenced at ten o'clock, bot did
nof rrnch their height until ii>* ftisliionahJe
were pouring ia at though l? a continuous
Dtrnm, ao<i rapidly depositing their lovely
freight, moved on to giveplaee to thoee
waiting their turn. Some of the oosiumes
were rich and elegant in the extretne, and
would do credit to an Eastern romance.
The sober hour of daylight found the gay
revellers still oil the wing. Saturday was
devoted to excursions around the harbor, one
boat going balf way to Savannah. There
were three steamers kindly proffered by their
owners for the occasion?the Isabel, Nina
and Gordon. This was doubtless the first
time a great many of them had so feelingly
known the words?
"life cn the soean ware."
The festivities were concluded by a display
of fire works at While I'oint Garden,
on Saturday evening. The Battery, Garden,
and Bathing House were crowded by
several thousand persons. The steamers lying
off in the stream wore beautifully illuminated,
and added much to (he scene.
Tlio Western ladies are certainly fine!
looking women and of wliom she may well he
proud ; but our own loose nothing in comparison
wiih any that I have yet seen. What
they may want in point of heauty is inure
than balanced by style and manner. If all
have not received the welcome they expect
ed, it is not the city's fault. It is openly
extended to thcin, if they only raise their
eyes to see it on the flags that drape the
streets every fifty yards. They have been '
treated and toasted to their hearts' content. I
To judge from the remark of one, whoso feet,
is well as those of most of them, being un-1
accustomed to the stone pavements, caused
Itint so much pain as to say to his fiend
ha. " his feet felt like they had been toastid
in h?II." LI ad the seat of pain been in
.he upper extremity and accompanied by
peculiar sensations of its enlargement, it
would not have been marvelled at. 8.

Why are there so Few Marriages?
This is an universal enquiry. The reason j
s obvious to every sane observer, and it may j
>e well enough that the young ladies should
enow it?ami many parents also. It is be .
:ause tho manner of raising daughters in J
nodern times disqualifies them for domestic
lutics, and gives ibein the art of extravagance
that the fortunes and circumstances of
:ew young men could long sustain ; and, for
fear of the mortification and want that soon
?r or later must come upon a family, many
worthy young men, who, with a frugal wife,
would make good and thrifty husbands,
Iread to enter upon the state of matrimony,

arises from its applicability to

capitulated to Captain Davis of tbe Xf. 8.
ship of war St. Mary*. The purpoao, we
suppose, of the surrender ot Walker to lEe
commander of a United State) vessel of War "4
was to ensure protection of himself and followers
from capture or molestation by any
nnvnl force of his.enemies or those in alliance
with his enemies. ,
"I iiavk found," snys Addison, " that the
men who are really the most fond of ladies
?who cherish them with the highest respect?
are seldom the most popular with the
sex. Men of great assurance, whose tongues
are liglitlv hung?who make words supply
the places of ideas, nnd place compliment in
tlio room of sentiment?are their favorites.
A due re?pcct for women lends to respectful
actions towards them ; and respect is mistaken
by litem for neglect or want of love."
A Hint foiP tiik Scasov.?The simple
and bust way of preserving woolen through
the summer from the destruction of tbe
moth is to wrap tlirfn well up. after brushing
and beating them, in cotton or linen
cloths. The moth can pass neither. Two
covers, well wrapped around and secured
from the air, will be effectual. An old sheet
will answer, and save all expense of camphor,

Gkntlkmrm?Your Carter's Spanish Mixture
has performed a remarkable cure in the person
of a servant man, afflicted with Scrofula in the
very worst form. So bad had he become, that
hi* eyes were entirely oloseil, and had been so
for more than a year! As a last resort, as everything
else had failed, it was resolved to try
the Mixture. We administered it according to
directions, nnd, wonderful to wiy, a perfect cure
has been effected. I am satisfied that no medicine
equals "Carter's Spanish Mixture " as a purifier
of ths blood. It is creating quite an sxcitemtnt
here, and sells very rapidly. Send an*
othor lot by Railroad. Yours truly,
