Tho work goes bravely on, and from the indication we see around us, bids fair to ho u show that Mus cogee and Russel, or Georgia and Alabama may well Iri proud. Tho prospect of stock is fine, and wo haz ard nothing in saying thut tho exhibition of cotton will excel in beauty of liul, uud neatness of packing, any tiling of the kind ever seen in this sunny South Al ready arc there sovoral Richmonds in the field, each determined not to bo outdone. Ob, ye cotton buyers, wont your fingers itch to push u giinblet into some of those fancy bugs? The prospect of useful aud orna mental implements is also good, and the tnstu uud skill of Georgia’s and Alabama’s daughters will bo display ed in all its variety uud beauty. Flora will be well represented, and if lire Ludies Hull docs not equal that at tlie Slate Fair, it will ho because tho commit tee havo not the taste to make tho display out of the articles presented to thorn; and music and oratory comes in with their uids, to enliven and commemorate tho day. Tho prize songs will bo full of truth, poo- try and music, and tho address by tha oloquout Secre tary will “ hold tho mirror up to nature,'* showing the dentity of every man's interest with Agriculture. It is expected tliut “ everybody and his wife too,” will be at the Fair. Those who have not seen thoso wonderful people ought not to looso the clrauco of lookiug upon them. Should it become uecossury to hold over tho Fair two days, duo notice will bo given by tho malingers. For further particulars see band- bills in circulation. Competitors for the premium essuys will find tho various committees announced by tho Presideut, in auothor columu. Vogotablos, Flowers, and Frost Old Jack, after Heading his courier ahead, the cold north wind, stole softly in upon us last night, and nip ped all the lingering beauty of summer. Oh, how tight he hugged in his icy arms tho delicato frail flow ers, and the housewife’s culinury vegetables. But his visit was not unexpected. Thus far the plauter has enjoyed a fiue season in gathering his crops, aud if old Jack has come a little too soon for his pockets, ho comes with health and vigor stamped upon his suow white mantle, breathing life to tho sick, aud joy to tho feeble. When we look out upou the garden, and see what havoc is niado in one night, in tho food aud sus- lennneo of tho families hround us, wo can uot but bo astonished, tliut with bucIi a climuto, so few vegeta bles are planted that stuud our winters with impunity. Look out upon your gardeus, all ye who read this epistle, and tell me do you see after tho frosts tho firm head cabbage, tho curling kales, the golden carrot, the sugarry parsnip, the delicious salsify, tho aromatic celery, the pungent musturd, tho garnished parsley, the sweet rutabaga, tiro indispousablo turnip, the sea soning onion, tho milder leok, the apetito giving let tuce, tho stomach sweeping spiuach, and mauy others which stand the open garden through our wilder, brave ly bidding old Jack defiunce. There is not a family around us, but may cull from tlie gardeu each day of tho year, fresh aud delicious vegetables for the table. To do this, however, requires industry aud persever ance, and soma practical knowledge of the adapta tion of the various se?dsto tho various seasons, aud the proper preparation of tho soil. Despair not then if it in too lato thin season, begin iu time fur tho next, aud garden not only for spring and summer, but for full and winter also. From the Southern Sentinel. Premiums for Eiiayi. Mr. Editor:—At the Fair of the Muscogee and Russel Agricultural Society, to he held in tho city of Columbus, on Wednesday, the 20th day of November next, it has been determined to award premiums, for the best Treatise on the subjects herein after stated. To facilitate that object, I have thought proper to announce tlie names of tiie gentlemen comprising the various committees, to whom communications may be made at any time before tho Fair, and who will, on that day, decide to whom tlie premiums shall bo awarded for tho best Essay, it will be seen by reference to our advertised list, that there are to bo many other premiums awarded, for all which compe tent committees svill ho appointed and announced on the morning of tlie Fair. We hope, that this, our Jlrst effort, will meet with favor fro n all, and especially the ladies. The Committees are as follows: On making and applying manure, suited to Southern crop* and culture, Messrs. Jno. Woolfolk, P. H. Wild- man and Geo. W. Jones. Cultivating corn in tho South, Messrs. Van Leonard, Anderson Abercrombie and Hines Holt. Cultivation of cotton, including the picking and pack ing, Messrs. James R. Jones, E. B. Fishburn and James Chapman. Treatise on the farm, by a youth of Muscogee or Rus- !, Messrs. James Abercrombie, B. A. Soraby and Geo. Hargraves. Raising fruit of all kinds in this section of the coun try, Messrs. Jno. G. Winter, John J. Boswell and James Kivlin. The culture of flowers, hy a lady of Muscogee or Russel, Messrs. Clias. A. Peabody, Theophilus Stew art and Robt. A. Ware. Management of tlie Cow in the South, Messrs. Clias. Cleghorn, Thus. J. Shivers and Joel E. Hurt. JAMES M. CHAMBERS, President. From the N. Y. American Agriculturist. A New Idea.—At one of the iron mines in Le high county, Pennsylvania, where the water is drawn out of tho mine by mtile power, ono of the animals refuses to work unless he is ridden. To savo a hand, they have mounted upon him an ar tificial monkey, and lie works steadily, perfectly satisfied. The Wheat Citor.—The wheat crop of four of the largest grain-growing States in the Union —Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa—is said to be equal in quantity and quality, to that of any prece ding year. It is said tlmt the surplus crop of Mich igan will more than double the largest yield ever produced in that State. Wheat from Drill CtTLTuitE.—We under stand that Mr. Andrew Y. Moore, of Schoolcraft, Michigan,haf harvested by a harvesting machine, which reaps, threshes, cleans, and bags the grain, 280 acres of wheat in 17{ days. The wheat was sown in drills 0 inches apart, and was unusual ly stout, although there was a great deal of wet weather the past season, which prolonged the time of harvest. Home-Made Candles.—If you manufacture your own candles, immerse tho wicks in lime wa ter, in which a little (salt-petre,) has been dissolv ed, before dipping. Tho light from such is much clearer, and the tallow will not “run.” An Extraordinary Cow.—Mr. Henry Smith, of Astoria, Long Island, has a Dutch Cow, 18 years old, that has not had a calf for two years, and yet she i** giving 1G quarts of milk per day.— In her prime, site gave 33 quarts per day. She has had 14 calves none of which were twins. If any one has a cow equal to this, we should be glad to hear from him. Great Peach Trade.—It is estimated by those engaged in selling peaches in this city, that 75,000 to 80,000 baskets catno to market on the 4th of September. Bark Lice on Orange Trees A friend called upon ns a short time since, with the agreeable in telligence tlmt wo had saved the orango trees of the South. Not readily comprehending tho occa sion of our hitherto unheard of success, a closer investigation led us to believe we may have been in- strinnental in effecting some benefit on a few of tho plantations in Louisiana. Tho orange louse, has for many years produced great havoc on the trees in most of our Southern States, and one who was particularly afflicted in this way, called on us in New Orleans, some three or four years since, for a remedy. Not having any personal experience in the matter, we suggested that these parasites, like lice on starving or diseased cattle, were the result of scanty, or uncongenial food, (soil.) ex hausted, perhaps, of 3ome of the properties essen tial to giving vigorous and healthful growth to to the tree. Upon this hint he acted; and by digging about the root, and manuring plentifully with compost, barn-yard manure, ashes, and lime, ho speedily se cured a vigor tli%t sent the whole of the marauders beyond the reacli of further harm. Steeping .Seeds —My father brought me up strong in the faith that it was essential to success in rasing Indian corn, that the seed should bo steeped before planting. He was an extensive, carefully observant and successful cultivator, and the first person who made uso of piaster of Paris, as a fertilizer in that part of our country. An an ecdote connected with its first use will illustrate its effects, and show his reputation as a cultivator as well as the sly humor of ono of his parishioners. A neighbor cultivated ono of my father’s field’s in corn on shares, but declined to put on plaster although proffered to him without cnarge. A di vision of tho corn was therefore made in alternate two rows. On his part (that is, on every other two rows,) tints sot out to him, my father had a spoon ful of plaster put to tho hill. The effect was truly wonderful, A party of gentlemen in passing, being struck with the luxu riance of tho rows thus plastered, inquired of a parishioner the cause of the difference. “Oh,” said ho, “ there is nothing 6trange about it; the large rows belong to our priest, and the small ones to one of his people.” Bounty Land Bill.

Approved, Sept. 28,1850. THE BOUSTT IgRS KLL Department of tin Interior, Oct 3, 1880. Tho Congress of the United States, at its lato session, haring, in a spirit of liberality, passed an act “ granting bounty land to certain officers and soldiers who have been engaged in the T. i * i *iwy - sorvice of the United States,” the PresiI tf 1 esteemed it no less a privilege than a- ndopt all the means in his power to gt and efficient operation to this benificenttr It will bo his purpose to administer t)^rri> such a manner as to make it what Cot signed it to be, a bounty to the soldier, t agents and speculators. The forms an of proof have therefore been made as . possible, and every facility will be affonWtj to ap plicants to establish their jest demands. Clerks are now engaged iu preparing, fromthe tolls on file certificates of service, in order that those who have not received discharges, or have accidentally lost them, may not be disappointed in obtaining their jnst reward. The policy of this law in all its provisions la to discourage speculations in the ciqims of soldiers. The act provides—“ that all sales, mortgages, let ters of attorney, and other instruments of writing going to affect the title or claim to any warrant hereinbefore provided for, made or executed prior to tlie issue shall be null and void to all intents and purposes whatsoever, nor shall such certifi cate or warrant, or the land obtained thereby, bo in any wise affected by, or charged with, or sub ject to, the payment of any debt or claim incurred by such officer or soldier prior to the Issuing of the patent.” In liis judgment the issue contemplated lq the body of the above recited clause of the law is the issue of the patent.—Consequently all sales, trans fers. assignments, and incumbrances of soldier’s land claims, made before the emanation of thepat- ents are void, and will bo disregarded by the Gov ernment. Speculators are therefore admonished that they can acquire no rights by purchase which will be recognized by this Department. 1 feel it to be my'duty, to warn the frank and confiding soldier against the arts and devices of agents, who will seek to oxagerate the difficulties of obtaining the land, iu order to enhance their own chances. The evidence of service exists among the ar chives of the country. In nine cases out often the only proof required will bo of the identity of tlie applicants, or of the marriage and widowhood, or heirship. These ure facts readily proven, and therefore the difficulties in most cases will be merely nominal. And to remove even these alight obstacles, and to give more full and complete ef fect to the munificence of the Government. I beg leave respectfully to recommend to the proper au thorities of each county and township to employ'' a suitable agent, at thei expense of the oonhty, to supervise the preparation of the applications and proofs of claimants. The ignorant and an wary would thus be protected from imposition, tha poor soldiers from burdens they are not abla to hoar, and the Government from many embamasaMllts which may result from the awkwardness of incompetent agents. In conclusion, 1 desire to say 1hat greet care will be used to guard against undne preferences of one class of applicants over others. With this view, al a proper time, a sufficient number of clerks will De employed to issue the certificates with the least possibledelay, so that all may have au equal chance of making advantageous loca tions.
