FRIENDSHIP- i BY ALFRED TENNYSON. I Dear friend, far off, my lost desire, j So far, so near in woo and weal; i O, loved the most when most I feel There is a lower and a higher; Known and unknown, human, divine ! Sweet human hands and lips and eye, Dear heavenly friend that canst not die, Mine, mine, forever, mine! Strange friend, past, present, and to be Loved deeplier, darklier understood; Behold I dream a dream of good, And miDgle all the world with thee. Thy voice is on the rolling air; I hear thee where the waters run; THou standest in the rising sun, And in the setting thou art fair. What art thou then ? I cannot guess; But though I seem iu star and flower To feel thee, some diffusive power, 1 do not, therefore, love thee less: ? * ? 1 V.i? JHy Jove involves ine lova Deiore, My love is a vaster passion now; Tho' mixed with God and nature thou I seem to love thee more and more. Far off thou art, but ever nigh; I have thee still, and I rejoice : ?1 prosper, circled with thy voice; I shall not lose thee though I die. IMPORTANT TO COTTON PLANTERS. The Cotton Worm.?We commend the followirig, extracted from the Selma, Ala. Times and Messenger, of the 5th instaht, to the attention of cotton planters in this section, and would be pleased to receive from 4hcm any information they may be able to give on this important subject: This scoUrge seems to increase in virulence from year to year. It is expected with the regularity of the season. Its early appearance in considerable numbers is fatal to the crop. Its ap pearauce at any ume cuts enort to a greater or less extent the crop. A thousand methods have, been devised for protection against it. So far," everything done to prevent its appearance or to check its ravages, has been in vain. There is danger that in a few years it will destroy the cultivation of cotton altogether. A few weeks ago, we published a statement from a Texas paper that the egg was deposited in the stalk of the plant, where it remained until the proper season, protected against its enemies, then to appear upon its mission of destruction, and that to gather up closely and burn the dry stalks in the fall and winter would necessarily destroy them. Yesterday we saw, in the counting room of Messrs. Hardee and Robinson, proof of the correctness of this theory. There were the dry stalks.' On tin surface was the scar left when the eggs were deposited Inside, in the pith of the stalks, were the eggs in some places and in others worms already emerged from the egg, and feeding upon the soft part of the stalk surrounding them. We presume any planter can have abundant proof of the theory in question. lie has only to look for it in his cotton field. This matter appears to us worthy of attention. If the egg is deposited in the stalk and thus preserved and wanned into life and sustained through the winter, fire is the remedy beyond question. VISIT TO MR. DICKSON. A 20 ACRE LOT OF COTTON. Editor* Soutforn Culttivator: The fbllowing description of a 20 acre lot, planted in cotton, by Mr. David Dickson, of Hancock, will be interesting and probubly instrucvtive to many of your readers who are devoted to cotton culture. ] The land is tolerably level, and for 1 pine land is pTetty stiff, with good substratum of clay; has been in cultivation ] for sixty or seventy years, and for the hst years two planted iu cotton. Mr. 1 Dickson commenced the preparation at , 11 o'clock on the morning of May 4th, by running a scooter furrow in the middies, and following in the same furrow \ with a long shovel, both going as deep i as possible, and making a furrow about ^ 8 inches deep. A I The manure was proportioned as fol- i lows : guano 1G0 lbs. j dissolved bones, ? 240 lbs.; salt 100 lbs.; land plaster ICO lbs.?thoroughly mixed, and cost on the ' place S1C.00 (sixteen dollars.) This ' quantity was applied to each acre, by t being deposited in the bottom of the 8 > inch furrow, and covered with a long 1 scooter, running as de.cp as possible or each aide?this furrow was sided with i good turn plow, followed by a long scoot cr, running in the bottom of the sam< furrow. The old cotton stalks were then plow ed up with a long shovel. This com plctcd the preparation. The cottoi planting was commenced May 7th, am finished May lGth. Until May 20th, the weather wa excessively wet; May 29th, light rair June 20th, light' rain; July 29th t August 4th, showery?sufficient t make one good rain; August 2^th he; vy rain, with more or less rain ever day for a week. Seven sweep furrows and one goo hoeing completed the cultivation. Th seed were of the David Dickson (c Oxford) variety, and has been twice si lected by Mr. Dickson. The worn: have eaten off the foliage and youti bolls, but notwithstanding the injur by drought, Trod the ravages of tl: worms, the yield is fully from one I two bales per acre?the best portic being where there was roost vcgctab mould. . This description, Messrs. Editor with but few changes, will apply to M Dickson's entire cotton crop. Son fields are not manured quite so highV (Cuffee is very much opposed to m nurcs,) but they are all prepared ai cultivated alike, and in proportion manure used, with the same wonder)' success. The very general impressic that Mr. Dickson's princely domaii are level sand beds, is very erroneou lie has every variety of soil, from clt to sand, and his surface is exceeding broken, and in many places very rock Yet his system of preparation and cu 1 tivation is applied alike to all, with tl i same marvellous success. Failure is word he ignores entirely, provided 1 can get Cuffee to half follow his dire ,tions. 1 Mr. Dickson's corn crop is very Cr but he has so many cribs full of cor made 2 or 3 years ago, that he doi not seem to be half as much intcrestc in looking at a fine field of corn, as 1 docs at a dense and heavy growth i weeds on his fields lying out at rcst.To the skeptic it is only necessary 1 pay a flying visit to Mr. Dickson princely domains, enjoy his prince hospitality, see the evidence of his wo derful success, and be convinced th he is really a Prince among planters. Yours, truly, B. M. THOMAS Milledgeuiilc, Gn.} Oct. 1, 1868. P. S.?Col. J. S. Thomas, of Mi ledgeville, requests me to aiM that 1 has been a cotton planter for nearly [ years; his seen cotton growing in cvci State, from Virginia to Texas, but th he never saw such a crop as Mr. Did son now has on his place.
