The world is filled with the countless and interlacing filaments of influence, that spread from each individual over the whole surface and framework of society. The infant that lies wailing and helpless in the arms of its mother, is already wielding an influence, felt through the whole household, by his fretfulncss disturbing, or by bis serene smile gladdening that entire home; and as ...ni. ...1,1 ."./I vo:i?n his facilities are ovrmndod. and ! ^ MIU? UMV.VU r?.. ^ - A the sphere of hi.- activity widens itself, his influence increases; and every man whom he meets much more whom lie moulds and "overns, he- i 11 ^ comes the more happy or the more wretched, the I better or the worse, according to the character I of his spirit and example. Nor can he strip from himself this influence. If lie flee away from the society of his fellows, to dwell alone in the wilderness, he leaves behind him the example of neglected duty, and the memory of disregarded love, to curse the family lie has abandoned.? Even in the pathless desert he finds his own feet caught in the thorns and entangled wad) of influ- 1 j. Cnee that bound him to society, and his cords remain wherever he was once known, sending home to the hearts that twined around him, sorrow and pain. Nor can the possassor expect it to go down into the grave with him. The sepulchre may have closed in silence over him, and his name may. have perished from among men, j vet his influence, nameless as it is, and untrace- j able by the human eye, is floating over the face of society. As, in the external and visible world, the fall of a pebble agitates, not perceptibly indeed, yet really the whole mass of the earth, thus, in the ^ world of mortals, every act of every spirit is telling upon the whole system of moral beings to which God has bound him. No man leaves the world in all things such as he found it. The habits ' which he was instrumental in forming may goon from century to century an heirloom for good or for evil, doing their work of misery or of happiness, Hasting or blessing the country that has now lost all records of his memory. In the case of some, this influence is most sensible. Every age beholds and owns their power. Such men have lived. The church vet feels throughout all lands the influence of the thoughts that passed, perhaps in the solitude of midnight, through the bosom of l'aul, as he sat in the shadows of his prison, an old and unbelViended man; thoughts which, lifting his manacled hands, lie spread in his epistles before the eyes of men, thereto remain forever. They f. el the effect of the pious j meditations of David while, roaming on the liiiliide, an humble shepherd lad; of the family pioty jf Abraham, and of the religious nurture that trained up the infancy of Moses. Every nation is affected at this moment by the moral power that emanated from the despised Noah, as that preacher of righteousness sat among Ins family, perhaps dejected and faint with unsuccessful toil, teaching them to call upon God, when all the families of the earth besides had forgotten llim. And if the mind, taking its flight from the narrow precincts of these walls, were to wander thread, along the peopled liiShways, and to the farthest hamlets of our own land, and, passing :ho seas, to traverse distant realms and barbarous loads: every man whom its travels met, nay, cv?ry being of human mould, that has ever trodden his earth in earlier ages, or that is now to be bund among its moving myriads, has felt, or is I'eling, the influence of the thoughts of a solita y woman, who, centuries since, stood debating lie claims of conscience and of sin amid the reliant glories of the yet unforlcitcd paradise.

Editors:?I feci myself highly Hat tered l?v the notice you have taken of my for rucr letter, and the request that you made of Jin in reference to the breeding and management c cattle. 1 had no idea that my cows had beei | heard of so far from home, though they havi been spokenof, and I ridiculed some little, in thi vicinity, but to the subject. So far as breeding is concerned, J have ]?aid no attention to it, ex copt to have the cows t?> calve at such time a? we are best povidvd with pasture and food.? Not having t he means myself of importing, am! thus improving my stock, I have long wishet that I lived near such a man as Mr. Peters, o Atlanta, that 1 might ] rotit by his enterprise. My management is simple, and should Ik common with the lovers of milk and batter, li the first place get the cow fat before she calves for a day or two before, milk her clean, and make such applications to the bag as will softer it arid remove the milk-fever (greasy water 01 pot liquor is good.) At the same time let hei food be such as \\i!i increase the flow of rnilk.? l - . a- i C. Slop*, pumpkins, potatoes, occis, cairois ivc., also, green oat.-, crop-grass pea-vines or collards will increase the quantity of milk. This should he attended to while the rait is very voting.? The quality may he improved by more substantial food, such as meal, or chopped grain, with a little dry food in summer, and green food is not so good as a mixture. The cow diotild he housed during bad weather. I think it injures a cow as much to he oxposed one dnv and night, as it does a horse or a w i . l i mule a work. J hose who nave noncca, oo serve that cow? continue to improve during the summer ami tall or while the pastures are good but during the winter they lose all the improvement if left to live on dry food alone, and every spring we have to start from nothing again.? Whereas, by having green lots for the cow to feed on, only one hour each day, with a little meal and some roots as above named, wc can keep her up through the winter, and then commence the improvement in the spring where we left otl'in the fall, and increase the milk every year. It matters not how much milk a cow gives at five years old; I risk the opinion that she will give double as much at ten years old. if Jini.i-.iiv.nii.iit is fontimied. Fur. once the cu\v is really tat, it is an easy matter to keep her so if we arc nut over stocked. For illustration ; I onee heard ofa man who got a farm and hands by marriage he walked out where the men were hoeing and thinning corn; he was delighted with his prospects from tlie great number of stalks in each hill; a boy caught and at one jerk pulled up seven stalks, leaving two in the hill; the enraged ma t- rrai vd his eaneamlj.roip<-! at the boy exclaiming: '"boy! boy! you'll win us, ruins V"! we'll have to beg our bread?there was nine line corns in that hill and you pulled up seven.oi them.' This is precisely ;he ease with too many farmers, they have nine cows where they ought to haw but two. 1 had rather have but one cow on full pasturage and feed, than six on the same pasturage - * ? * * II aii'l fed. S j also, 1 had rather nave one siauv in a hill than nine, or own two. Every ore should keep as many cows as hi.- means will at' total, and no more. (.?n gathering mv crop*, the milch cows art tlie tii-t s'oek i; I into tiio If Id, and I get tin benefit in two or three days; wit Tens it'the li<??_r? have the preference it is two or three years be lore the b- netits come on the table. In conclusion, lei me say to the lovrs of mill and butt< r take an agricultural paper: raid am study nature; give your cows nature's l'o..,l. an* good shelters: milk her regularly, and be sure t. milk her clean, especially w hile the calf is youiit never sutler the milch cows to run with othei cattle; by this moans they will give milk foi year-?then, ton, many arrange to have then commence giving milk at such times as you wil be best supplied wilh pasture.

The great iron chain of communication, ' which will soon join Charleston to Nashville, and i the latter to both Louisville and New Orleans, , must inevitably give increased vitality to the 1 - - - - ' ' i i enure region n. u;i\ui.v\>. ?t luuiiiviniu i those Sunt hern States through which these roads shall j-a-s, will double their population. The increased facilities of travel will, moreover, lead to more freouent journeys to the const, 0:1 the part of the planters of the interior; and the natural result of this must be a more extensive diffusion of city taste, city expenses, and city energy also, in the rural districts. But this tide of travel will not come North.? Charleston will l.c the focus to which the Tenncsseean Alahamian, Georgian, and Carolinian will tend. There the products of the vast region, drained by these roads, will concentrate. There they will be exchanged for foreign and domestic goods. Thus Charleston will gradually become a considerable port, from having first become a a great distributing market. As the Erie Canal, l.i- .1,.? ?!.

"Wc are of those who rejoice at this promising prospect for the South. In some other quarters the rising commercial importance of Charleston is regarded with jealousy. But such narrow minded feelings are unworthy of liberal men. The trade of tiiis great nation is increasing with a rapidity that will afford plentiful -upport to all the Atlantic cities. The day. in J deed, cannot 1>^ far distant when every consider I able port on the coast must he thronged with shipping. A hundred millions of people (and the population of the United States will reach that point before many who read these words shall die) will require all the harbours that wo have to transact their export and import trade.
