FRIDAY MORNING, Nov. '12,1809
PHOl’OCiUPHS.
Those in want of Pictures, are respcct
invited to call at the New Gallery,
irf the old Alley, 8outli of the Hotel,
where Mr. 1. G. Glenn is prepared to ex¬
ecute work in his line in the finest style of
the Art. Charges moderate
July, 2, tf.
A Request
If wo have any f ault to find with
our Farmers it is that they are too
modest. We wish to induce them
to speak out, for their own good, for
our, and for the common good.—
While they do not generally figure
much in the papers, (not half so
much as they should) and while they
are perhaps direlict in having no
Agricultural Club, to send delegates
to the Macon Fair, which is an in¬
justice to themselves in many re¬
spects-—yet we know that they are
honest and capable experimentors,
that they are inquiring with earnest
desires for the good and true way to
conduct a farm.
The old year will soon end, and
its affairs be wound up, and its les¬
sons for good or evil learnt. Those
who have made experiments in new’
modes of culture, and with Commer¬
cial Fertilizers of various kinds, are
requested to furnish the satfie for
publication in either the Journal or
the Farmer or both, that they may
be made known to the reading pub¬
lic. This is giving the agricultural
public the benefit of your export
ments, and we shall be most happy
to publish one or more weekly for
our readers.

The Fence question
The luws of this State require
the funner to protect his crop by it
strong and substantial fence, which
must he “five feet high with or with
out the being staked and rided, and from
ground rails to the height of three
feet, the shall not be more than
three inches apart.” Such is the Ian
guago of the code.
A subsequent section goes on to
recite that “If any trespass op dam¬
age shall be committed in any enclo
sure said, not being protected us afore¬
by the breaking in of any ani¬
mal, the owner of such animal shall
not bo liable to answer for the tres¬
pass, and if the owner of the enclo
sure shall kill or injure such in any
manner, he is liable in three times
the darn ace ® ”
Such c* i trie enactments.of * . . ,
are our
Legislature upon this question ot
practical Thejre^j’t; importune^,
that although jpiany people who think
these may hav.obeen
wisn laws in the past, they ought
now to be altered and adapted to
the new condition of things. -O
1 he«e pi:r»on8 who . insist . or. inno- .
vation say, that the law as at pres
eut constructed, is framed entirely
jm the interest of protecting stock, as
aguinat the crop, when the crop be
iug more valuable of the two, needs
the greater legal safeguard, nnd all
tlm more so, as the stock or hup. Iw s
diminished greatly throughout the
country to loss than one fourth its
iormci uumbei, aud the well being
of tho interest which was great,
when oui present laws w’ere framed,
must have been permanently in the
mind of the law-makers. And still
greater force is added to the argu
meat, as the crop interest haa been
enhanced at least one hundred per
cent, within the past yeur. 80 that
the reason of the law ceasing, the
law itself should cease with it. It
is certainly unwise policy ro discrim
iuate in the laws against a superior
interest in favor of an inferior, and
thus practically discourage crop
raising, as against stock raisiug.
But other reasons are urged why
the law should not only be changed,
butYevcrscd, so that the discrimina
tion and eucourngement #f the laws,
should be made tributary to the
crop, and not the stock. Among
these umy be enumerated.,
1st. Ihe utter impossibility, thus
far among the generality of planters,
of haying their fences now almost
dilapidated,put make them lawful in such repair as will
enclosures This
position addresses itself to men’s ex
Pe «d‘'Vate"^r;Ltvmnov' f ™ I1U,V -
ed which requires the planter . to
tect his eiop, aud the consequent,
reduction ot labor during the winter
months, he stands a better chance
to get fresh land opened, indeed the
money expended by him in fencing,
could be diverted into this more
profitable ehaanelI of during laud,
and thus enhance the \ a.ue ot wood
* an ”*
3 d. It will enhance (he value*
old plantations where from scarcity
of rail timber, gotid lands have fall
en in price iron* the fear they would
not afiord the necessary timber.—
Such places would at once rise to
their try* worth,and realize to their
owners from 25 to 50 per cent ad
vance iiimn u pon tl,n the present rfucDi * price, • if -c sold, ii
4th. Because in equity it is wrong
lor oiiC man s stock to have fr66 li
cense to another man's land, and the
pasturage words they offer — or in other
every owner of stock should
furnish their subsistance. *
For these reasons merely Resent stated
we desire the repeal of the
1 ence law, and that it be so modifi
t ti as to lequire the stock owner to
keep his stock fenced, making it
a trespass for which damages shall
be recoverable for him to permit his
stock to go on any 3 ' ones crop, which
may be -fenced.

THE LATE REVOLUTION.
ITS EFFECTS UPON THE SOUTH &C.
No. 1
Certain ostentatious theorists and self
styled late philosophers in descanting upon 1 the
revolution and its effects upon our
people, can see no possible good that it
directly or remotely accomplished. ,We
propos in this brief review of the subject,
to show that the revolution was absolutely
necessary, to eradicate certain evils, both
in the government and in society, and to
fit the Southern people for that lofty sta.
tion, which we believe in the providence
of God, they ate destined to fill.
That revolutions are the only possible
remedies for certain national disorders, is
a proposition abundantlysupported by the
testimony of past ages. There are certain
“deep set” evils imbedded, as it were, in
the very structure of society—certain fun¬
damental detects in the formation and
administration of government, which can
be removed only by a total rtvolution of
society, and a modification or rntiie
change of Uie form of government. Du¬
ring revolutions the people arc, as it were,
baptized in blood—ihe imperfections in
government are corrected—the prevailing
social vices arc eliminated, and an impe¬
tus is given to civilization and enlighten¬
ment. Hence it is that the most illustri
ous periods in the history of nations, are
generally revolutions. those The which English succeed mighty
possessed that government
never which made stability and power,
has since it the wonder and
glory of the world, until after the revolu¬
tion of 1644. Then too, English litera¬
ture received the impetus which hqs
brought it to its present perfection and
glory. The same is true of the French
revolution. It raised France to a height
of power aud glory ahe never occupie 1 be¬
fore.
Wc do not wish to be understood as
aivancing the idea that the mere shed¬
ding of blood in revolutions is tha great
efficient cause from which follow so many
beneficial effects. War is only the means
by which a great end is attained. That
e ud, be it understood, is a change both in
t
government and sooictv. Could this
? han » c be J P eaeabl >' there would
>e no ncccsslt J ^ or a,ra «d revolution, but
there is a principle in liuman nature which
Je*d men to cling with id»!»troq«devotion

have not yet attained. We believe that
government will become :ess restrictive as
religion aud enlightentucut are dissemina¬
ted, and wc confidently expect that in
the far distant future Republican in¬
stitutions will everywhere prevail. But
we had not, as a peo pie, armed at that
stale of morality and civi ization, which
alone can secure the permanency of such
institutions, arid hence, our experiment of
a free government partially tailed. We
think, that the effect of the late revolution,
will be to make such changes and modifi
cations in the form of our government as
will adapt it to the present condition of
the people, and suit it to the changed
relations of society.

IMPROVED COTTON SEED.
Sparta, Nov. 9tli. JSG9.
Mr. Editor : There are several
varieties of cotton seed now engag
ing the atteution ot the public, and
it is an interesting question to farm¬
ers to know the best variety, in or¬
der that they may reap the most
benefit of their labor. No intelli¬
gent thinks planter of this county ever
of planting the Petit Gulf,
Mastoden, and other varieties that
once commanded such prices, for tho
simple reason that they can do bet
ter.
Boyd’s Prolific, first introduced
into this county by David Dickson,
of Oxfird, has superseded all other
varieties, and is now generally plant¬
ed under one name or another by
most of our planters. The Zippo
rah had its day and has passed away.
The Mo in a is following suit, and
will soon be numbered with the
things that were, and so we opine
all long staple varieties, not except¬
ing the Peeler, which is now quite
favorite with some, but will soon
generate we doubt not, into a mon¬
grel short staple cotton.
The prolific has several
varieties, candidates, for
favor, as Mr. Dickson’s of Han¬
cock and Mr. W. \V. Simpson’s,
both of which are excellent, and
differ but lb tie from pure
Hunt’s variety is more distinct and
seems to be u cross between.the
it Gulf and Prolific. We have had
a good opportunity the present year
of testing the qualities of these two
varieties, and will give your readers
the benefit of our observation.
Ihe 1 rolitic aud Hunt seed
each planted in u bottom, and did
not suffer much for rain. Theform
er obtained from Oxford Dickson,
three f this years ago by W. II. Brantley,
0 county, had upon ‘„| one stalk
5i ., form8i |,| 00lll8 a bol | 8
.»»uh thicker than Hunt’s, ma¬
tyres earlier, but is more affected by
drought, and cannot endure long
spells ot dry weather like Hunts^
ouehundred bolls of the Prolific, se*
looted weighed lib and four ounces,
100 of Hunt’s weighed lib and six
0UI , C es. One hundred pounds of
36 und half pounds fa* out
a of hut. One
hundred of Prolific (Dickson and
Simpson mixed,) ginned out 35 and
a half pounds. The staple is about
same as to length; under the micro
scope Hunt’s is a little the finest,
an( j y et three Indies without know
“ ch »‘hers opioiou selected the
* ro,lho a8 thu "’infest and finest va
r ***ty. Perhaps the most damaging
quality tendency of the Prolific is its great
to fall out after opening,
The ground is almost covered in
thick cotton, after windy weather,
au j t ^en a storm succeeding fre
^ Hunt variety is not 'TC^ liable to this ^ ob
j ect lon *
Take the good and bad qualities
of each together we think the most
judicious plan would be to plant
both varieties and then, notwith
‘ h « wo»ld always
b e '" 0St t’ ral8cd ,or lts earl v a,,d
thick , . fruiting, . -
when a long drouth
comes the farmer would soon begin
to praise the Hunt, as bolding on to
the bolls with more tenacity ; and
so when he wouid walk out in his
p ro [,fi c j n tfie mud> he WOul j be
consoled by the thought the Hunt
variety if not quite »o full at firs.,
n‘W bids fair to produce the heavi
est yield.
