preveiting and altering the dolorous gu
lied aspect, which the hilly land of Caro *
ina has, too long, been wont to assume,
an thnt too, from a want of a "small
amount of very necessary-oare and pains,
which have such a direct and important
bearing upon our farming interest..
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,

No LAND LIKE A MERIA.--'-The. Hon.
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,. In burning words of elo.
luence, the cause of the A merican colon.
ds ind of -A nieii6an freedom. He - had
)eezr at Runnymide; where the bold. bar.
>ns %v .ti 'from King, John. the.. Magna
hrtn-11 nt:ion of England. He
Iad stood on the 6jold Qt'antiockburn,
whero the Bruce won the liborty of Scot.
and; and on the 4th of.,; y last, amid
hhbvild hillA and mountains .of - Switzer.
and-,.the land of Tell---he had in com
?any ivith acompamnon. and countryman,
ousted once again his native. ahd'beloVed
and. But,'amid jll his "wanddeinbihe
id seen no land like his.bwn- land.--no
mll like Faneuil Hall.-.-no plains like
hose of Lexient'n6..oandino iook like that
af fPlymouth."
AMERiciN. HURRY.--A writor thus dis
;IoIrses very sensibly, and to the point;
"Look at the theatres-the people come
rushing in the middle of a piece; and be.
fore the curtain begins to fall, or the tag
o be spoken, or the'moral explained, up
tarts a hupdred people inii a tremendous
Imrry to get out, as if their lives depend.
.d'on being someWhere Plsa in two min
utes and a half.- How r .iy fine effects
n a play--- how many chef d'wuvrrs
in a concert haye we seen utterly destroy.
-d by this ill-mannered and indecent haste.
"Cross-a forry, and long before the boat
irrives, two-thirds of the passengers are
1rowded at the hea of the boat, ready to
jump ashore, risking life and linib to save
ten seconds of time--.a. child is knocked
pvarboard.--a boy's foot- smashed,: or a
young man in the first ildonm rippled for
life. What matter!" That" man now
walkingly leisurecly up'th6 street got a
shoro nearly half a minute earlier than ho
would have (lone had he not run the same
risk and caused perhaps the accidcnt.
"Get into an omnibus, and with one foot
mn the step and the other inside, the driver
pulls the door to, whips his horses, and
you are pitched head first into a stout old
~entleman's diaphragm, or settle down
nto a sentimental lady's lap.
Now, what in the name of wonder is
~he cause of all -this---do we gain any
hing? No! Do we enjoy anything in
his everlasting rush? No! Do we live
onger or die more happy? No!"
Ilow A MAN FENLs WnFN HIE's DaUNK.
---"Never was drunk but once in my
ire," said a chap once in my hearing,
'and I never mean to be again. The
itreet seemed to be very steep and I lifted
my f-eet at every stepi as I wus getting up
stairs. :Several cart-wheels were making
revolutions in my brains, and at one time
I fumcied my head was a large carving
md turning establishment, the lathes of
wvhich.I wvas keeping in motion wvith my
nvn feet. I wonld'nt conceive what wats
ho reason the town had turned into such
ma enormous hill; and what made it worse
was that it seemed all the time to he grow.
ng higher and thratened to pitch over on
nio. Stop, stop! said I, and Ill head this
>ld hill yet, or at least, it shan't head meu!
I turned round to go dow~n and get at the
ottom; tell me; If it didn't turn right
-ound with me, heading me all the time,
>resenting the high bluff, in front of me.
W'ell, sure enough, the g~round flew up
md struck me on the forehead; and as
soon as th pare cleai-ed away, I commen.
med olipifl'with my hands_ and knees.
I'ho next t.ing I saw was a big bripnk
aouse comgirig full split round a corner and
belle've it rusm right Over me, for i do n.'t
