The Cultivation of V’pland Rice. The experience of the past few years has fully demonstrated the fact that^ by far the most profitable employ ment for the farmers of Sbothern Ga. Is the cultivation of the white, or high land rice. The Writer has tested the matter fully, both by experiment and observation. While this variety ot rice flourishes best in a wet, alluvial irotl, producing as large a yield under such circumstances as the Carolina “golden,” yet it does remarkably well on ordinary uplands; which afo usual ly devoted to the growth of the cereals or cotton. Indeed, It may be stated ns a fact, that any land, howeveT'ble- vated or sandy, that will make unas sisted, say from eight to twelve bushels of corn per acre, will easily [Urom ilm Suiatw tyatcliman.J Some months ago, when J.enre Angnsls 9 00 p in Arri*« at Yemassee 1 80 a m LeaTt YemMiee 2 30 a m Arriv* Sarinnah ti 35 a m Leave Savannah 4 10 a m Arriv* JacksonvilU 7 15 a in Arrive Charleston b 00 a tn Leave Yemansoo 2 1*0 a m Arriv# Beaufort 8 45 a tn vrrivo Fort Royal 4 00 a in .' rnv* Augusta C 86 a m '.eav* Yennssee ~—r*— —. 2 00 a m trrive ) ema-set 1 20 a in .ear* Savannah 9 (HI p m *rrive Savannah . 8 20 a m eave Jackaonvifla -5 15 am /«»ve Charleston b 80 p m .•ave Beaufort e. 11 23 p m Leave Fort Loyal 11 00 p m Train* run through bet wrea Augusta aud Savannah willtou* change, making close con nection at Savannah with A.

Johnson Hagood. It seems to us that a .man of Gen. Hagood’s stamp is just the need of the times. It wdnld be silly fT> talk about bis arousing tho enthusiasm that Hampton aroused In 1870, for ho can- nbt do It. It is not In the man in the first place, and not In the people in tho second. Hampton himself could not elicit It n^w. Enthusiasm is one of those.thlogs which from Its very na ture must be short-lived. The supply our people had was- large, but the expenditure was most—lavish, and there is but little left In us for the struggle upon which we are just en tering. So little, In fact, that we can in no way rely upon it to carry us to victory In this contest.*We shall have to use other and entirely different means and methods in the present campaign from those used in 187G, if we expect to succeed. Hurrahing in banqered processions, with beating drums and blowing boros were serviceable things in their tirn*v but would be as stale as a twice-told tale, if attempted again this year.— They are fossils, as campaign material in South Carolina. What our people need-now is a leader, who ia-epdet, shrewd, practical and reaolute. W* want a good oxgamstgr and disoiplina rian. While we are arf determined as ever to win In the battle, the wild en thusiasm has expended Itself* and there Is no arousing It again. We need business like methods to carry us through safely this time. And the people will require an assurance that we have a business-like man at the head of nfiairs to inspire them with work. Now it seems to us that Gen. Hagood above all others id,the State Is best fitted by temperament, by edu cation and by prestige to supply the demand of the times. If our readers have ever looked upon Gen. Johnson Hagood’s face, thsy need but Httls further evidence that hs is the man for the place we have above describ ed. It speaks a language not easily misunderstood. "I die In tho last ditch,” is written legibly upon U; and his recorh as a soldier and political leader sustain the declarations of his countenance.

Than, with a narrow scooter open 1 renches two feet asunder, and apply in the drill any fertilizer that may have been provided. H the soil is high and dry, the seed.

Where the land Is low and strong,- mers especially If by lying fallow the crab grass has been exterminated, the seed may be drilled at the rate of about one ard a half bust)els per aero. Thus treated, fifty bushels may bo easily made in average seasons. Cultivate land with frequent plough ing between, and keeping jthe bids free from grass or weeds. No crop Is mpro easily made or will prove as remunerative. With equal seasons,and planted side by side with corn, the rice will perhaps double the yield of corn, and is worth, In the rough state fully a third more In the market. The writer has seen forty bushels produced on fhe light sea island cotton lands on the seacoast of Liberty county. , Ho has also cultivated tho rice as you would peas, between the. hills of {corn, where the soil was low and moist raising a full crop of corn and fifteen bushels of rice to the acre. In the latter case the rice received a thorough working, after the blades of the corn wero removed for fodder. The rice straw, if protected from the weather,furnisheagood provender for' sheep, horses and cattle, and oftentimes, in wet seasons, the stub ble will put forth a second growth, which can be cut when greet} aud cured, making the very best of hay.

At 17, then;she thinks often of love; delights in love songs; fills Moore’* poem* with pencil marks; fbinks Byron's face beautiful; eats little in company. At 18; still thinks a great deal of love; would caro nothing for poverty,’provided she bad a .sweet heart who adored her; Indeed, would rather be poor than rich, were she united to the ideal whom she has not yet met. Still reads a great deal of poetry and novels which deal largely with love and tb^ death of the heroine; passionately fond of children. At 19; a little more critical; find* some of the poetry that pleased her last year a little weak; looks about for steadier authors than her old favorites; dances every dance in a ball, and is not quite so particular a* to the men who are Introduced to her.

Then, In tutu, he recounts hls own business trials, his profes sional squabbles, and the thousand and one petty torments of down-town life, developing them. In the process, as the good wife had developed her oarking cares.

Playfulness* cheerlulucsu, levity, or placid cootont- meut are traits of inferior creatures. With the evolution of soul and reason comes gravity and sadness. We ob serve bow playful are the lower ani mal j, especially the young, and wo see hew much more serious Is man with a soul than hls progenitor, the monkey. Woman has beqp light hearted oc se rious according to her condition. She Is most playful to Oriental countries, where she has no soul, and where her state Is most degraded. With deveB opment she grows grave. With the acquisition of a soul she acquires s solemn charge. As she advances to ward emancipation she even becomes *ty) In her seriousness. Her few re maining chains become heavier than all.wew, when her slavery was com pi ft n and s e had not tasted of ths fatal fruit of the tree of knowledge. With woman’s elevation, therefore, we may naturally look for more gravity la the household, and a blot ting out of the dividing line between the business cares of woman and man. Mirth and jollity will be banished- Life will become sombre. Sous of the short-sighted ■ will look back with regret to the time when each helped the other, and every sorrow was light ened by sharing It with a sympathis ing other half; but what of this, If the new mode puts woman on the same plane with mao, and gives her perfect equality in labor and pain and desti ny ? Woman Will then ccuse to be ; woman as the wotld has known her through the centuries. In the stead of the perfect woman whom the poets sing, there wHi arise a generation of Dr. Mary Walkers and Lawyer Belva Leckwooks, nod marriage, free from sentiment and devotion, will become a business corpartnersblp, with a just dlstributiou of work, arid responsibili ty, and nothing whatever In It that now makes our home-llfs worth living.
