But the influence of habit is so great, and the Cotton mania, is such a prevailing epidemic in this latitude, that it is a 'Mat ter almost impossible to scare, or' drive it out of the minda of the - farmers; and it would be much ado, if the rail-road Doc for could work it out of them,' by siprink ling gold dust at their doors. and along their borders, sufficient -to count them 75 or 100 for their.corn and potatoes.' You may talk to farmers of'the -propriety and superiority of a change in the reliatie pmount of the growth of their :respective products, and they will yield obsequious assent to your suggestion;.but. the epsuing full,'exhibits the snowy locks, in as abuin dunt profusion tip the -pracdding -year thus showing the influence of 'habit ind mania, by their practice, over their judg, anont as acknowledged in theory, Last year we looked down towArd Co. luinbia, feoireenville and Laureno, and could-almost.see in the windv distance, the rich smoke from the pine-linots of the low country, issuing from a sicam engine, -..in the distance our ears caught the! rumbling sound of the invulnerable wheels -groning under rich' ladened cars of acceptable imports. And we bad well nigh, begun to trim and. enlarge our or chards,-to save a greater amount of pota to seed-to enlarge our strawborry and planting.beds-,to turn our patches into gardens, and to increase the number of our swine, poultry and kino, and to cause the Indian tassel, and the small-grain bloom of May and June to wave trium phantly o'er our cotton fields; with which to lade the returning car. But alas! the jarring discords of sectional selfishness, have hushed the sound though harsh, vet musical--euphonious to the ear; and the sighit'so magnificent-beautiful-grand has vanished from the sightof our mental visions, and seemsfas a dream when 'tis past, as a tale-that has been told." eu .to return from this digression, as we can't get the roadl now; let's raise some rice any how. A good team can haul 80 or 100 bushels in a rough state to Columbia; and -in this condition, it always demands $1. in our Metropolis. We have -plenty of low moist lands that would suit the pro. du ction of rice kindly. One of my neigh. bours informs me that lie, by way of ex periment, planted one quart of rice in drills on a small spot of new bottom; and without cultivation, but a slight diging with the gardlen-hoe, it yielded 8 bushels of rough rice. One bushel ofseed plan ted, probably requiring 2 acres of ground wvould yield 320 bushels or 320 dollars according to the price alreatdy specified deducting from the expenses, only, of transportation, wvhich wvould, of course have to lie deducted alsb from any other comrnodity to ascertain its net proceeds. 'Another gentleman, under my own olk Bervat ion, raised 50 bushels from one acre with'but very slight cultivation. In our sister district Anderson, the raising of rice is exciting considerable interest; the great est impediment Is the want of suitable mills for cleaning it. A friend related to me, when speaking of' its importance, that he was present at a meeting in that dis. trict-where a subscription for some ben evolent purpose was presented-when several gentlemen said, they had no mo ney to give but if rice wvould be taken as money they would subscribe; their propo sition wvaW acceded to on their own terms -andtheir rice which wvas considered as 'an tinple equivalent 'soon turned into mo ney; Last spring Mr. Charles Key had a load of rice passing through this district from wvhom I purchased as good clean rice as, I would wish to have, for 82,50 per bushel. In concluding these remarks II 'would earnestly request others to give the imubliothrough the colms of your paper, 'The resultea bone it pftheir, experience pon -Lauren nitify~'t hevel-oses tiditri erca Mn;st ;f of life n Do akeqii~r ld ofailes.hen raderi yad g t't I i emq o Igthen tho mayest de iethe same assiatanie tM"Wtlet-si tha~t o fetira u wf: Wv tOnee '*u is~- Isttogialingto see may lhe on small in woiY oi nnd pe 'iasri tkli .. mAid llieesfa irbe~,x i wfiight dbllars weekAzhar iatherdo on fifteen a oighteaq ollars.

Mr. Yijkthrop, ofI3oston, who has.recen ty returned from Europe, adiressiPg a political meeting in Farieuil Hall, last week, said: "He id redefitly retu'rned froin other md distant lands.' "1fe* had stood in the Ialla of world-widerenown; he -had stood n the hill whore Chatham foil dead, while vi'ndicting,.
