From every direction tho cry is give us more and better labor. On the second point, to-wit, the quality of our present labor, nil will agree that there is abundant room for improvement. On the first point, the quantity of labor, there is decidedly more ground for doubt and difference of opinion. In a political and national point of view it would obviously do desirable to increase our white population (if a good class of im. migrants could be obtained) to secure control of the government and to give needed strength in time of war. In an industrial point of view, however, as retnarkod before, there is room for doubt. The cotton crops of the last two years nearly equaling the average crop before the war, indicates apparent A nitlmr flmf jy one ur twu nuiit^o, vimvi hotter modes of cultivation, <fcc, liave been adopted or else that the laborors (whoso numbers havo certainly decreased by the withdrawal from the fields of women,) have been greatly more efficient than they were whilst slaves. No one will admit tho latter conclusion, and the question, therefore naturally arises, if, with a smaller number of laborers, but with new implements, new mothods of culture <fcc., <fcc., crops, rivalling in extent those of antebellum times can bo and have been produced?whether, by pushing these means still further, larger and still larger crops may not -continue to bo mado. We have no doubt on this point, and until the limit is reached in this direction, may it hot bo unwise to at. tempt to increase the supplies of laborers ? Tho moans alluded to are, . first, planting moro largely crops which require little labor, such as small grains, grasses and clover; 2d, limiting the labor crops, as cotton and com, to tho smallest possible nroas nnrl finrinhinfT these to tllO lit W* V?M/ MMM O | most possible degree; 3d, by use of | implements to substitute animal labor for human labor whenevor prac. ticable. At presont we invito aU tention to the last point mentioned, the use of labor-saving implements. Many of these, such as reapers, mowers, tedders, grain mills, <fec-, are costly, and their use brings up at once the question of small or largo farms. Since the war the South has received a vast quantity of gratuitous advice from the other side of Mason's and Dixon's line, one of the principal items of which lias been, "divide up your land into small farms." Iu a recent number of the Cultivator we published an article on Belgiau farming, in which the statement is made that the tendency is to larger instead of smaller farms. The statement is significant because the advocates of small farms are in the habit of pointing especially to the success of Belgian farming in support of their views. The truth is that, in all densely populated countries, necessity forces their inhabitants to the point *of obtaining tho maximum yield from their lands and stimulates therefore incessantly in tho direction of improved methods of husbandr}\ But the farmer who operates on a small scale, with littlo _x i j capital at Ills uuuimauu, iuuuio <nways under difficulties, iust as the small trader or the small manufacturer does. It will not pay a small farmer to buy a reaper, mower or grain drill?his little crop can be Harvested more economically by hand; the man who cultivates one or two acres cannot afford to keep a horse, &c., &c. The only alternative in such cases is, for ope person in a neighborhood to purchaso such things and do the work of several. This, however, is attended with numberless vexations ami annoyances, and makes tho farmer too dependent on othors to work successfully. "Wo oppose, therefore, tho subdividing of our southern plantations-on tho ground that such divisions stand directly in the way of the introduction of laborsaving implements. At present the greatest error committed by our farmers is tho investing of too much money in labor and too littlo in machines.? In breaking up land, the 2 horse, 3 horse or 4 horso plow, should take the place of tho one horse.? The corn and cotton planter should take the place of hand-dropping and covering with the plow. The sweep or cultivator, or gang plow, * . l .1 i .TiL. stiouici taKe ine piace 01 t-no buuvel. The grain drill or broadcasting machine and harrow, should take the place of a careless handsower, and a one liorso plow for covering the seed?and the reaper and mower should take the placo of cradle and the scythe. It is useless to say such tilings cannot be worked b}r the negro. Only a lim. ited number would be needed to use them, and the intelligent ones among them could, with a little 2?t / . care and patience, be educated up to the requisite point. We have made carpenters and masons and blacksmiths and wheelwrights of negroes, why not drivers of reapers, &c., &c. Change of Schedule. Vice- President's Office, Charleston, S. C., Jan. 18,1871.

October 6. tf T ' --W TO PIIVSIC'IAVS. New York, August I5th, 18G8. Allow me to call your attention to my Preparation of Compound Extract Buchu. The component parts are BUCITIT, LONG LEAF, CUBEB3, JUNIPER BERRIES. Mode op Preparation.?Buchu, in vncuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a fine gin. Cubobs extracted by displacement with spirits obtained from Juniper Berries ; very little sugar is used, and a small proportion of spirits. It is more palatable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a aorK color. it m a piani. mat emits us ira grance; the action of a flame destroys this, its active principle, loaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predominates; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon inspection, it will be found not to be a Tincture, as made in Pharmacopcnn, nor is it a 8yrup?and therefore can bo used in cases where fevor or inflammation oxist. In this, you havo the knowledge of the ingredients and the mode o( preparation. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon iaspeotion it will meet with your approbation. With a feeling of confidence, I am, very respectfully, H. T. HELMBOLD, Chemist and Druggist, of 16 years Experience. From fho Largest Mannfiictnring ChcmiNts in (lie World. NoVE5JBF.il 4, 18.r)4.

From an official exhibit, it is shown that the Piedmont and Arlington had a greater in-' crease of business in 1869 over 1868 than any company on this continent. It shews that there woreonly three companies in the United States that issued larger nmountof riiks in 1869 than it did. and only nine companies that issued more policies; also, that, wiih their accumulated risks of fifteen or twenty years all combined, this company, though young, stands twentieth in amount of risks in force.
