POETRY. From a .Northern Paper. GOD HELP THE SOUTH. God help the South, dear sunny land, 3y tyrants crushed and riven, Betrayed, insulted, conquered, taxed? By negroes ruled and driven; Bright native land of noble hearts, The Union's truest glory, The day will come when truth shall write Your fair, unwarped story. God help the South; Thine arms alone Can loose the chains that bind her? Degrading bonds that have too long Most ruthlessly entwined her, ? Lift up the heads now bowed in grief, Give joy instead of sorrow, And for these weary hours of gloom A calm and glorious morrow. Their fathere' God, and now their own, On whom their hearts still rested, When darkest days of grief and woe Their happy homes invested, Then was Thine sufficient arm The power that oft sustained them, And from more bitter draughts of grief Thy pitying hand restrained them. Still do they turn to Thee, 0 God: Give rest from all their sadness, And pour upon their strife-sick hearts Thy-precious oil of gladness, Give them Thy firm, enduring peace? A peace that will not leave them, Then bitter words shall cease to sting And broken faith to grieve them. Men call this peace?this wretched thing? O, falsehood basely spoken, Because their banners trail in dust, Because their swords are broken. Because?ah, bitterest of all? Their warriors' heads are lying On battle-fields too dearly won, When victory crowned the dying. Ah. who shall know the mighty hopes Relentless death has shattered? A nation's hopes, all swept away Like leaves in autumn scattered. They hope no more. They turn to Thee, For only thou canst aid them, To rise renewed and vigorous still, From th' ruin we have made them. AGRICULTURE. BREAD, MEAT AND FODDER. Cokesbury, S. C., July 10, 1869. D. Wyatt Aiken sends the following to the Charleston News: The recent publication in the New, of much that interests the planter, in daces me to ask the insertion in youi columns of an article more appropriate ly designed for an agricultural journal As a large proportion of your reader are pla'ntere, I suggest for their cocstd eration the following inquiry: Doe con planting on upland in South Caro lina, or throughout the South, (I meai the cotton belt of the South,) rcmunet ate the planter? A negative reply comes this yea from all quarters, and the same will b the case two years in three. The twenty acre field of upland, that will produc this year ten bushels per acre, will b the exception ; one third of this goes t the frecdmen, and the remaining two thirds will consumed by wear and tear blacksmith's bills, interest, insurance taxes, and the mule. The planter'] profits will be nothing. Then why d< planters persist in cultivating so exhaus live and still so unremunerative a cop' I can assign no other reason than the on< iicairrnpd hrthn hnv wVir* wnn nsVpd wVn J ?J "? "? ""J he went to mill with a bushel of mea in one end of the bag and a. rock in th< other! He replied, he did it becausi daddy did it. Advisingagainstgrowing upland corn I am not an advocate for the cultivatioi of cotton to the exclusion of forage anc provison crops. Not at all. Corn shoulc be grown more or less on all plantations but solely upon snch lands as will y>c/j lest in corn. In my judgment there ii not labor enough in the South to glui the market, were every acre of cultiva ted land planted in cotton. But it woulc be ruinous in more ways than one t( pursue such a policy; breadstuff's woulc be greatly enhanced, and provendei would become an expensive necessity The quantity of corn, however, con sumed by man is but an item in the pro ducts ofthe/arm. It is the stock that an the costly consumers, and the object o this article isto suergest a method bv whicl stock can|be economically fed, labor raori advantageously employed, plantation! improved, and, withal, no corn cnltiva ted upon uplands. Any field capable of producing ter bushels of corn per aero, will yield th< ^ f 1 > ? ? uo cmiuc uumuur oi ousneis oi rye j anc one bushel of rye, ground into meal anc made into a "maBh" with cut rye, wil feed a horse or mule one-fourth loncci time than a bushel of corn. The same field sown in red oats, anj time between 1st of Ootober and the Is of April, will produce threshed oati enough (the straw being salted and fee as fodder) to feed a number of animal one-half longer than the corn and fod der from the same field. Any piece of land having an admix ?????? ture of clay in its soil, sown in No- "I vember, and top-dressed with ten dol- ^ lars worth of commercial manures per acre, any time between the 1st of February and the 1st of April following, HI will yield wheat enough to pay for the ^ manures, bread the family, and buy the ^ corn the land would hare produced. Any field manured at seeding-time with ten dollars worth per acre of commercial manures, and sown in barley, and again top-dressed as suggested a bove for wheat, will produce grain enough to pay for the manures^ and buy twice as much corn as the land would have produced without manure. Any laborer that can cultivate Bix acres of cotton and six of corn, can just Cl as easily cultivate ten acres of cotton and eight acres of either of the cereals. These assertions are not made at ran- H dom; they arc the results of my own ^ experience. And if these facts be true each planter has to calculate for himself the difference in cost ofseeding and har- t vesting a small grain crop and ofcultiva ting a corn crop. I may be met with the remark that wheat and barley are too cost- 1 ly to be fed to work animals. I reply, it they are worth double in marKctwhai corn is, and I can grow a bushel of corn, ^ they are less expensive feed for my stock than corn would be. If their mar- I h ketablc value would be greatly reduced by being more extensively sown then we would only bo the happier people, because breadstuff's would be cheaper. For all small grain cfbps the land should be thoroughly prepared as soon i after the 1st October as practicable, and the grain brushed or harrowed in, not plowed in, and the land rolled. Harvesting should, if possible, be done with a reaper, not with a cradle. The best " cradlcr will, in a luxuriant small grain crop, in spite of himself, lose from three to five bushels per acre. If the land is propcr-hj prepared, the reaper saves it ? all. Were a more extended area of thor- 1 oughly prepared land upon all of our r cotton plantations sown in that small grain best adapted to the respective plantations, wo could live more inde- |jat a pendently, raise more stock, set our own spii _ price upaiualAoa, aad. uot be so solici- oth g tous about labor. . An* intelligent laborer, accustomod to improved machinery, can cultivate more land, and harvest 3 ' more grain than any half-dozen men who uso the uncouth implements of AI slavery times. As a planter, I feel that clai r the great want of the agricultural inter- dec C ests of our State is the introduction of 'jj? that class of skilled laborers, who bringe ing their improved implements with C them, will become land proprietors, ra0 ther than the immigration of hordes of illiterate foreigners, who would soon be' come demoralized and uncontrollable as ' our existing labor. u]a Very respectfully, D. Wyatt Aiken. ? "Swearing-Room."?A person, hav. ^ ing th c aj'jnarancc of a gentleman, was j recently using very profame language in one of the public rooms of a hotel, when he was told by the landlord that such language was very disagreeable -p-| tnere, but mat there was a private room "* ' fitted up for a "swearing-room," where PE | he might swear to his heart's content. TI ^ The man took the rebuke kindly, and j was heard to swear no more. ; ?? - e [ H.
