And although it is in opposition to the princi pie of 'change of crop,' so almostuniver sally riQ dtaiedgd very generally ' j A o i t 1o ,n a f fo r d f o d iiust rone out of that, to a iortainty. The intelligcnt owner informed me, lie had been on tihe plantation five years, du ring which Ie had never changed the crop on any part of the land; his prac tice being as follows. After dividing the farm into two equal parts o 200 acres each, one for the growth of cotton, and the other for corn, he planted corn on one. of these portions at live feet intervals, with about twenty feet between the plants in (he rows, keepiflng clean, by cultivating and hoeing; and it the time of the last working, ie threw out the soil frim, ih middIC Of Iach intervatl, 11aving n o:n furrow, exposedi to tih subs il.

You are not unaware thdt-th phblic mind hits been, through the past, summer, and is still, under considerable excitement upon the subject of Rail Roads; and that large sums have been subscribed to. wards the construction or some that have been projected. Nor can you be igno rant the public treasury is relied 'upon to contribute, in some form or other, towards the completion of these enterprizes; and that' without it, some or all of them must fitil; and it will be for you to do. termine, whether these fair prospects shall be blighted whilst in the bud, or ex pand in full proportions under your foster. ing hand. The civilians agree thit the sovereign power in a State is bound to provide hig - ways for its inhabitants; and it is for tis that the right of eminent domain is ini pliedly reserved in 6very grant of terri tory, qualified by our Constitution with the reservation, that just comnpt'nsatioI shall be awarded the individual owner, if his property is used for public purposes. No individual has the right to put even his foot upon the soil of another, witliput him conseit. The incapacity of individu. als, tnd the absence of concert among them, oppoie, generally, instipe!rable ob stacles to the exercise of this power by individuals; and it is, therefore, reserved for the State. But the right to exercise it does not impose on the State the obliga tion to carry an highway to the door of every individual; they are the main arte ries, and communities must supply the branches. The Sate may delegate this power to individuals, but they will never undertake the execution of it, without the expoetation of reasonable remuneration; and -when they will not, the questions, when and where, and at what expense of money and labor the State ought to do it, are constantly addressing themselves to! your judgment and discretion. These Vestions mIay. bo .bst examiniie4 by _kep. hbg entirely out of the view the aid that may be caleulated on from individuals;. and assuming that the whole burden is to: be horne by the Stiate at hirge, what- no cessity and what principle is to govern in the selection of site for the road and the anmount of' mone'y or labor to be expended in its coins raction? The sAution may be drawn from the practical concerns of every day lifet, a planter living at a (Us tance from a iarkit t road, finds the way leading to it out of repair, intersected, perhaps, by a creek or river frequently imjpassible from high water, and he goes about to estilitte what it will cost in mo ney or labor to repitir the road, and build bridtges, and compares that with the value of the labor, or the amount of money it will cost to transport his produce over it in its present condition-and if in the re. stilt it appears that lie will save by the im provement, the interest on the money, or valtie of labor to be expetided on them, lie will, if wise, not hesitate to make theni; tand thme State ought to be governed lby the samte principile. T1hec only objec tioni to it is, thatt its benefits are partial, whilst the burthien bears equally through. out the State. Let us meet this objetionm thirly. Th'le benelits are in a degree una equaml. lie who lives on the road side,, is moi(re fortunatte thamn his neighblor who lives five miles distanit, and, lhe ini turn, miore fortunt, thino ho who lives wemre re. miote. A re we for this reasotn to have no publice highways at all? Will not the traveller whao goes tent miles fr'oma home, realize that the road over which lie tra vels, wvretched as they generally are, was made and kept in repairi by the labor of' other hmand~s than his own? is lie not bound, on the princeiple of' reciproeity, to cotribute to the maintenance oft antother' port ion of' the road on which he never tra. vels, for the acconmnodation of' his neigh bor? May the tenants of the sea coast andmi the valleys of' the navigable rivers antd creeks, fold their arms andl say to the iihabitanits of' the mnountainis, nature has supplied us highways to market, we are comenlt, and~ you must provide for your selves! A re we not children of' the same fitmnily, andi ought we gr'udginigly to mena surie out to each other muttual aid and as s'stantce, by the selfish r'ule of' personal interest? TIhe qluestion, however, asumes a very dlifren'mt aspect wuhien you are called up oni to lend your midi in supplort of' an indi vidumal enterprise in the prosecti on of an iindertaik ing which, f'romn its ntu~ttre, must le pmuctitive of' greatt and important 'iim ral benefits. Rauil Roads have the ad vanitage over all other mode's of' trans ponrtationi and intercommunication, at least in t heiri cem t ittv and gatch, operating as an iumene Jiing e r me, and1(, as our exi e ior cc h is proved, ini the xpense al so. WVithain my own recollection, the time was (mand it seems hut yesterday,) when tobacoo wvas ahlnost the only article raisedl for export in the mnterior of' the State, and the trans riatiin c! t from the mountains, j1ylhere it was rost' irtjfjar rown and t e be tq al,lit. b .a 5w n muse, over narroa pma"prov roads, Was (ttednded by an- 1ese'a bor almst equal toiguv ad s f tinic equal at least,jao 6 e oJ** The groWth 6eotfon ,itia d n i~r - add d'nmtil wivth'n.a feVeurs Cli1 ber the tine consuned,.arid thelhbor aid the money;.then expended in its transpot tation from the. lnterior. Now it finds I market in'Cheraw, Camden, Charleston", end .Hamburg; and. there, too, are ro ceived, in exchange die articles wanted 6r domestic 'corsum pt ion,'not grown o'r manufactured in the State. And why is this?C,'Obviously because of the improve ments of the navigittion of the water courses, imperfect. as they are, opening a commuuidatioi between these-points and the great mart, wholly at the 'ommon ex. pense, and more recently by.the'establish ment of the Charleston and Hamburg and Columbia Rail Roads, at the joint expense of the State and individuals. There is, perhaps, no means of ascertaining pro cisely 'what have been the savings, by these means, in the transportation of pro duce to market; but it cannot admit of a question, that has been saved in every ar tiele transported, and that every man in the State, who deals in these markets; and who has purchased a bushel of salt or a pound of sugar, h'i :profited by it. Push these improvements further into the inte rior-spread out their arms-in sucihman ner as to intercept the mountaineer in his way to a market, and corresponding re sults must Ibilow. These results point mainly to the agricultural and co'mmercial interests of the country. But other inte rests of equal importanico are deeply in volved. It is known that inexhaustible mines of iron, a mineral worth more than all otheis that have ever been extracted from the bowels of the earth, is found in the re gion bordering on the mountains-and so,. ton, of mnarble and lime, the one useful in the mechanic arts, apmd the other not onmly a necessary ingredient in architecture, but a powerful agent in the improvement of our soil, and there they must remain forever buried, or their benefits limited to a smiall territorial circle, uutil the fa cilities ef transportuition shall enable those disposed to develope those gre'aftresources, td s2nd them abroad throughout the land. The huni of the spindle and the fitful movements of the shuttle are begining to be seen and heard in the various sections .of the. State. b3t.the will seediaLd heard no more, uiiles ihY filities of transportation are such as will. enable them to meet the imporiations from abroad in a common market, and w9 shall be left to look abroad for manufactures of indis rensable necessity. The want of the fa cilities of transportation operates as a chilling and blighting influence on that portion of the State, by no means the least inlerrsting and valuable. where cotton caM.not be profitably grown. The soil, rich aid profusely productive of all the aliments necessary to. the,. subsistence of animal life, the inhabitants are content with their abugdance-the cost of trans portation of any surplus to our cities and seaboard where they would find a market, being nearly or quite equal to the market value-and that market is habitually sup plied. Quiet and secure from 'war's alarms,' as we now feel, the time may come when we shall be obliged to buckle on our ar mor to repel invasion of quiet domnestic strife. I low important is it, then, that we should hmave theilities, which Rail Roads only canm furnish, of embodying our uni ted strength within a day or two at the points whI ere duanger threatens. There is anmother if not equally impor tant consideration. Meni cannot live oni patriotism alone, and however one may love his coumitry for its own sake, lie will seek that in which lhe can obtain the crea ture comforts at the least expense of la bor and money; and it is to be expected, imdeed we know from our own experience in the immense migrat ion of our citizen to) the west and south w~est scime years ago, they will seek a domnicil in those places which afl'ord greater facilities of corn mecrce and trade. Georgia, independent of her facilities of water transportation, is pushing with a spirit and zeal becoming her intelligence an I enterprise, Rail-roads into every portion of her State, and it is ntot evemn to be hoped that our citizens whIo inhabit thme interior, thme most beauti ful anid richest portion of our State, will fbogo these advantnges when they can obtain them by crossing the Savannah ri ver; and mless we furnish them our State will be depopulated. I ought not to speak of Georgia alone; most of the neighboring States are a great way in ad vance' of us in these improvements. The1 social advantegos resulting from faucil it ies of intercommunication, though not less t angible, ought not to be overlook edl. A common interest ini the advance muent of literature atnd science, of reli gion and morality pervades the whole State. Trhere ought, therefore, to be a comamunity of' feeling anid concert of ac tion ini all plans for their advancement. mud ztese arc better attained by the fre quenit imterchainge of sentiment and thotught between thue inhabitants of the dif ferent portions of thme State, than by any other' means. Rail Roads are wonderful. ly adapted to this end. By their agency, your neighbor at 'orty miles distant, is brought wvithin the distance of a morning's
