AGRICULTURAL. From the. Flu/a. Ledger. EDUCATION OF FARMERS. A farmer should be a botanist. We do not mean that ho should understand the classification, habits and properties of eve ry plant that grows ; for this knowledge of details would require his whole time, and most of it would be useless in agriculture. We mean that he should understand the habits and properties of every plant that is or can be rendered subservient to agricul ture, in our own or other countries; for without such knowledge he cannot decide for himself aboyt the most profitable crops, or the most profitable modes of producing them. Every plant used in’ agriculture can, like every domestic animal, bo so far altered or improved bv cultivation as to ex hibit far greater varieties, and be applied to more purposes than in their wild or un cultivated state ; and, to be able to make such improvements, requires a knowledge of their habits, or their visible modes of growth, and their requirements of soils, heat, moisture, sunshine, rain, manure, shelter or exposure. A farmer may thor oughly understand the composition of soils and manures, and the properties of their component parts ; and yet, without knovvl edge of the habits and requirements of plants, lie in only half taught, for lie knows not how to adapt one to the other. Millions have been thrown away in attempting to raise crops upon soils, to which they were not adapted, and millions more in supply ing them with manures which they did not require, or by which they were injured ; and all might have been saved by a knowl edge of the habits or requirements of such crops. Millions have been thrown awav upon certain crops, when varieties of the same plant, growing in other countries, would have amply rewarded the cultiva tor ; and all this loss might have been pre vented by a knowledge of agricultural bo tony. A farmer should be a geologist. We do not mean that he should understand the whole structure of the earth, and the histo ry ofits revolution in conformation and pro duction. Rut soils are always indicated by geological features, and the farmer who understands them is able to choose a farm judiciously, and to decide, without the cost and delay of experiments, upon the crops or mode of culture for which it is best fit ted. A farmer should be a chemist. We would not require ofhim thatminute knowl edge of detail which is necessary fora tea cher of this science, and which can only be acquired by long, persevering industry in the laboratory. But we insist that, he should understand chemistry so far as it is appli cable to agriculture, and which includes the compositions of soils and manures.— Without this investigation, how shall he know how to adapt one to the other, how to renovate exhausted soils, or howto change their character for the production of new crops ? He may learn by practice ; by doing what he lias done successfully before, or what his fathers or Jiis neighbors have done. But in this ho works blindly, and may err ; and if he do err, he must reap .the consequences of his error in time and labor and money misapplied. The great source of improvement in English agricul ture, the best in the world, is the applica tion of chemistry to the analysis and com position of soils and manures ; and here we may say that Davy and its other eminent chemists have rendered more substantial benefits to England and all other countries than all the Wellingtons and Nelsons that could exist for a thousand years. Davy .made his discoveries, not in cultivating crops, but in analysing substance’s to estab lish principles ; and, having established them, he lias taught- agriculturists how to apply them to practice. What is the re sult ? The growth of a dozen blades of grass where none grew before, or the ad vancement of agriculture, in a few years, further than it had reached before during centuries. A fanner should be a meteorologist.— He need not, like a seaman, be able to predict every gale for days beforehand, or determine, at a glance, the direction of the next breeze. But he should be able, from general knowledge of meteorological prin ciples, a knowledge easily acquired, to foresee so far the general coui;seofthe wea ther as to house a crop before a storm that will destroy orgreaily injure it, or to let a crop stand till a coming storm has passed, instead of preparing it for rain by cutting at the wrong time. To-learn this from practice is the work of many years ; but to study and apply the observations of oth ers, or to learn the principles and the signs which they exhibit, is the work of a few days or weeks only. There is such a liranch of knowledge as agricultural geography ; a knowledge of the productions of differenr countries, and of the latitudes, longitudes, temperatures and soils in which they flourish, and of the modes of culture required for their produc tion. When we consider that the majority of agricultural and horticultural jiroduc - t'ons of the United States are exotics, or plants brought originally from other coun tries, we must see the utility for this know ledge. If a farmer make this a subject of investigation, he has ample means of im proving his crops and his animals by im portations from countries resembling his own in soil and climate. Egyptian wheat has been frequently tried in the Middle and Northern States, without success ; and a scientific farmer might have foretold that a plant which flourishes in arid sands, be neath burning suns, was not adapted to a moist soil in a temperate latitude. The middle regions of China produce the best silk in the world ; and a scientific farmer might infer that silk would flourishin Penn sylvania, a country exactly resembling the middle regions of China in soil and cli mate. And experiment has proved what science could have predicted. With sci entific knowledge of agricultural geogra phy, a farmer, by improving opportunities for sending abroad and importing, may continually improve the qualities and aug ment tlie variety of agricultural produc tions. But how is this knowledge to be obtain ed ? All the discoveries in each of these sciences have been the result of long, in defatigable labor and great expenditure of money by numerous individuals, each con fining himself to a single subject. This we admit. But the discoveries once being made, others can apply them w ithout the labor of the discoveries. Columbus dis covered America. But every navigator now knows the way. The chemists .of the last fifty years have opened anew and boundless field of discovery. Yet every one can learn what they have established, without the cost and labor of their experi ments. When a thing is demonstrated, its application can be learned by every* one, in far less time than the demonstration re quired. How, then, is this knowledge to be acquired by farmers ? We answer, in our common schools ; in schools in which ail the youth of the country should be in structed. Principles and their modes of j application may be learned from books, | and can be taught by schoolmasters. What is the present education of our agricultural youth at school ? They are taught to read and write, and to cipher. Well may it be called ciphering, for what they generally learn of arithmetic has very little practical value. And what books do they read?— With a few exceptions, those from which they learn nothing that may be called sci ence, physical or moral. And yet halfthc time that is thrown away upon useless read ing might be employed upon books that would impart scientific and practical know ledge. No man should undertake to cul tivate a farm without understanding at least the general principles of agriculture, and lie should learn these at school, before he puts his hand to the plough. IMPORTANCE OF AGRICULTURE. The world is in a fair w'ay to be driven into an appreciation of the importance of agriculture, and the great truth will yet be understood, that to the labor of the hus bandman, to the production of actual wealth from the soil, more than to all the trans mutations and changes such wealth may afterwards undergo, is national prosperity owing. The interests of the world are identified ; it is only when these interests are disarranged by ignorance or cupidity, that general distress ensues.— Albany Cul tivator. ANTI-VAN BUREN TICKET.

DUNCAN L. CLINCH, of Camden, Col. JOHN W. CAMPBELL, of Muscogee, Maj. JOEL CRAWFORD, of Hancock, CHARLES DOUGHERTY, oj Clark, SEATON GRANTLAND, oj Baldwin, Gen. ANDREW MILLER, of Cass, Gen. W. W. EZZARD. of De Kalb, C. B. STRONG, of Bibb, JOHN WHITEHEAD, of Burke, Gen. E. WIMBERLY, of Twiggs. Qualification of* Voters, FOR ELECTORS OF PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT. As there may be some misun derstanding as to the qualification of voters for Electors of President and Vice President, at the election on the Ist Monday in November, we think proper to publish the law declaring who shall he entitled to vote at that election. The amount of it is, that every one who could legally vote on the Ist Monday in October, can vote for Electors on the Ist Monday in November. The law can he found in Prince's Digest , pages 192-3. “On the first Monday in November, 1828, and on the first Monday in Novem ber of every fourth year thereafter, an election shall be held throughout the State, at the several places of holding elections for Senators and Representatives in the General Assembly, for the purpose of choosing Electors of President and Vice President of the United States ; which elec tions shall be opened and closed at the same hour and in the same manner, and shall be superintended and conducted by the same magistrates and officers, as by law shall be authorized to superintend and conduct the general elections of this State. “ At the said elections,- every person en titled to vote for members of the General Assembly, or Representatives to Congress, may vote for a number of persons equal to the whole number of Representatives and Senators to which this State may be entitled in the Congress of the United States ; and that it shall be the duty of the Justices or Magistrates, presiding at the elections to be held under the authority, and according to the provisions of this act, to make immedi ate returns to the Governor of the State, of the result of said election ; which returns shall clearly exhibit the number of persons voting for Electors, the number of votes given in, the names of persons voted for, and the number of votes which cacli may have received. “ In counties where by law the votes for members ofthe General Assembly shall be given at different places, it shall be the duty of the persons presiding at the different dis trict elections to meet and consolidate the returns of the district elections, as by law required to be done at the general elections ; which consolidated returns, exhibiting the result of the elections, as required by the second section of this uct, they shall imme diately forward to the Governor of this State.” To l>e Remembered ! “ Resolved, by the Senate and House oj Representatives of the State of Kentucky, j That, m the late campaign against the Indians upon the Wabash, Governor William Henry Harrison has behaved like a hero, a patriot, and a general; and that for his cool, delibe rate, skillful, and galiant conduct in the battle of Tippecanoe, he well deserves the warmest thanks of his country and his nation.” Legislature of Kentucky, Jan. 7, 1812. “ General Harrison has done more for his country, with less compensation for it, than any man living.” President Madison. “ I profess to be somewhat acquainted with the history of General Harrison’s political, military, and private life. I am his neighbor, and live in his county. As to his private lite, I know of no stain that for a moment sullies him.” Dr. Duncan, of Ohio. Colonel Richard M Johnson, now Vice Pre sident ofthe United States, said, in Congress: *• Who is General Harrison 1 The son of one of the sinners of the Declaration of Indepen dence, who spent the greater part of his large fortune in redeeming the pledge he then gave, of his * fortune, life, and sacred honor,’ to se cure the liberties of his country. “ Os the career of General Harrison, I need not speak ; the history of the West is his his tory. For forty years he has been identified with its interests, its perils, and its hopes. Universally beloved in the walks of peace, and distinguished by Ins ability in the coun cils of his country, he has been yet more illustriously distinguished m the field. Dur ing the late war, he was longer in actual service than any other General Officer; he was, perhaps, oftener in action than any one of them, and never sustained a defeat.” Colonel R. M. Johnson to General Harrison, July 4,1813, says : “ We did not want to serve under cowards or traitors; but under one [Harrisori] who had proved himself to be wise, prudent, and brave.” On the night before the final question on the Missouri restriction was taken, General Har rison was warned by one of his associates, that if he voted against the restriction, he would ruin his popularity at the North ; he fearlessly replied:— “ i have often risked my life in defence of my country—l will now risk my political po pularity in defence ofthe union.” General Wm. H. Harrison says: “In all ages, and in all countries, it has been observed, that the cultivators of the soil are those who are the least willing to parr with their rights, and submit them to the will of a master.” On the subject of selling white men for debt. General Harrison says, in a letter to Mr. Pleasants: “ So far from being willing to sell men for debts, which they are unable to discharge, 1 am, and ever have been, opposed to all impri sonment for debt.” In a letter, on the same subject, to the Editor of the Cincinnati Advertiser, he says! “ Far from advocating the abominable prin ciples attributed to me by your correspondent, 1 think that imprisonment for debt, under any circumstance hut those where fraud is alleged, is at wai with the best principles of our Con stitution, and ought to be abolished.” In a letter to the Hon. Sherrod Williams, dated “ North Bend, May 1, 1836,” General Harrisori says: “ l have before me a newspaper, in which I am designated by its distinguished editor, ‘ the bank and federal candidate.’ 1 think it would puzzle the writer to adduce any act of my life which warrants him in identifying me with the interests of the first, or the politics of the latter.” The following paragraph, from a memoir of General Harrison, by J. R. Jackson, Esq., bears valuable testimony to his religious character : “ Ah incident which occurred at Philadelphia, will serve to illustrate his character. On the evening preceding a Sabbath he was to spend in that city, two gentlemen waited on him, and stated, that there were two sects there, more nu merous than others ; and, therefore, it would be good policy in him to attend one of these sects in the morning and the other in the afternoon. ‘ Gentlemen,’ he replied, ‘ I thank you sincerely for your kindness, but I have already promised to attend divine service to-morrow ; and when I go to church, I go to worship God, and not to electioneer.’ ” YOU CAN’T COME ItT Under this head, the spirited lit tle paper, the “ Democratic Press,” published in the city of New York, tells the following capital story : “ A Locofoco officeholder in this city, lately called upon an ho nest Irishman, who resides in the Sixth Ward,with a request, that he would subscribe one dollar for the purpose of erecting a hickory tree. ‘ By jabers,’ (said the Irishman,) ‘ do you want to buy a whip to be scourged wid ? Get out o’ me house,, you desaving villain, or I’ll lave de mark on ye. Pack off wid ye!’ “ The officeholder did not wait for a second bidding.” Bringing Men to their Senses. —Getting them drunk to secure their votes.—Loco foco Dictionary. SALES IN NOVEMBER.
