Mr. Editor: I have been reading and
thinking about our condition ns fnr-
liters and citizens. Oin* country was
once fresh our lauds rich, and they
brought forth abundance of the luxu
ries of life. Labor received a good re
ward and our hearts were made to re
joice from the fact that our lands were
productive. But alas! those days of pro
sperity are gone, the fields that once
brought large and remunerating crops,,
a great many of them are reduced to
sedge grass, all scarified with gullies,—
1 speak to our shame, for it is our fault
and that man is ungrateful to postarity
who leaves his plantation worse than
he found it. Every man should im
prove his lands every year. I am con
vinced that this can l>o done, and in
order to which, I will give you a plan
the result of much study and some ex
perience, First—if our lands are hilly,
w e imist ditch them properly. Next—
a rotation of crops aud rest to our land
are necessary, and to do this should
have our form divided into four fields ;
plant one in corn, one in cotton, sow
•use in wheat and oats, let the other field
rest; take all the fields in rotation, and
our land is rested every fourth year;
plant the first field in corn, (and plough
it iltfrp w hile sluggards sleep, and you
w ill have corn to sell and com to keep)
and when we plough our corn the last
time, r*w peas—the Tory or the red rip
per U/I think, the best. Gather your
corn as early ns possible ; turn in yonr .
stock and eat out the fields; thru start ‘J atl<>n Mr - *
a plough, and we should ho governed
by circumstances what soil of plough;
if the ground is coated over largely

How inconsistent tlien, considering the
influence of preceptors over their pupils,
that their education should be committed
to those a part of whose education is ha
tred of our indHtutious. The very foun
tains of the religion and literature of the
North have been poisoned against us.—
How then can our youth any longer with
safety draw their intellectual nourish

have already contributed much to Sou

this time we have three or four coats
of vegetable matter turned and mixed

received will prepare the land to
make a good crop of entton without
any more manure. Nevertheless, w’e
should manure every acre wo plant,
nnd to this end we should have a ditch
in our horse lot, constructed in such a
manner as to catch all the w ash. It is
host to have this reservoir w ith hoards.
Every thing in the shape of manure
should he put in this ditch as early in the
spring or season as possible. Start

a furrow ns deep ns you can with a
shovel plough, nnd if you think it ne

WINTER.
We have recently had an unusual
quantity of cold, wet, disagreeable weath

have convinced us that winter has come
in good earnest; but at the same time the
unpleasant aspect of its gloomy face has
been relieved by a succession of weddings
and parties, where beauty, wit, hilarity
and social enjoyment have been great
ly in the ascendant. How welt has
the great author of the Uni verse tempered
all things.

Gen. W. W. Harllee, Prest., &c—Dear
Sir—I have the honor to submit, for the
information of the Board, the toliowing
report of the operations of that jiortion
of your road now in use. Ou the 13th
November, I formally opened nine miles of
Road, by commencing to run a passenger
train regularly in connection with the
Camden Branch trains. Since that time
the road ha* lieen laid to Cane Savanna
8wani|v—a distance of twelve miles from
the junction—and to the 30th uit., (a pe
riod ot 18 days) 3374 passenger* had
passed over the line, and the receipts
were $154 63. I have no doubt a much
larger number would have passed over
the line, had ample notice been given of
the Hay of opening.
An analysis of the above and a com-
C rison with the earlv operations of the
ilmington and Raleigh railroad, wilt
show that tlie local business ot your road
will greatly exceed that of the latter.—
The average number of passengers that
have daily passed over your road, with a
distance of 10 miles in operation, is 19,
against 15 per dav that passed over the
Wihnington and Raleigh railroad iu 1841
—more than twelve mouths at)er tlie en
tire length (1614 mile*) hajA,been *<* op
eration. At thi* rate thnjway travel will
yield annually $313 90 plf mile. I find
