AGRICULTURAL*
From the Southern Cdtittttfr:
C ALBNDAH roil JCtT.
(The following brief hints to the farmer, plan
ter end gardner, will be found to apyly not only
to the month under which they are arranged, but,
owing to diversity of seasons, climate and soils,
they may frequently answer for other months:—
Tais precaution the considerate agriculturist will
not foil to notice and apply in all cases where
his judgment and experience may dictate:]
Finish hoeing out your corn, potatoes, and all
other crops, and make early preparation fdr har
vesting. See that your tools are all in Order,
and a full supply of each. Get the best you
can procure. A man may earn the extra cost
of a good scythe or cradle, in a single day’s
work, besides the promotion of good morals, by
the better humor he is kept in. Get rakes and
pitchforks which you know won’t break by fair
usage. By all means prepare a horse rake,
which may be made as simple as a hoe. A man
with a steady horse may do the work of 8 men
with one.
Clover should be cut while just going out of
bloom, when the heads are partially turned
brown. It ought never to be spread. Let it lie
in the swath till wilted: if they are very large or
heavy, they may be turned over after the upper
side is sufficiently dried, As soon as this.is
done, let them be raked into winrows, and soon
after cocked in small high piles. This should
always be done the first day. and if very hot,
may be done within a few hours after cutting.—
Iwt it stand in these cocks till it has sweat and
become cool, and comparatively dry. It may
then be taken into the bam or stacked, and Well
salted. Lucerne is to be treated in the same
wray. Timothy and redtop should not be cut
till the seed is in full milk, so that it will ripen
after being cut It ought never to get so ripe
as to shell when fed out These may be exposed
to the sun longer than clover, but les6 than is
usually practiced. Our hay is frequently dried
to# much, ind adirie who never spread their hay
from the swarth, much prefer it thus cured. It
m better to allow it to cUrc in the cock, when it
is always safe against sun, dew and rain. Grass
ought never to be ex posed to the dew while spread.
A few days of sun and dew while thus exposed,
render it almpst worthless. Hay may always be
carried into the mow or stack sooner, by using
salt freely: at the rate Os four quarts to the ton
is our rule. Besides lessening the risk from rain,
the salt is always worth much more than its
cost for the cattle and manure, and it will thus
confer triple benefit by answering successfully
the purposes of each.
Much of the wheat, oats and barley may be
harvested this month. The cleanest fields or
portions of them, should he selected for seed, but
not the heaviest or largest growth. Seed is bet
ter if grown on moderately poor land, than on
the best. Prof. Sprengel has shown from ex
periments, that grain matured on the richest land,
though eminently fitted for food, contains too
much gluten for seed; while that which is produ
ced from poor land has a greater proportion of
starch, which is the natural food for the young
plant The part thus selected should be allowed
to manure the seed fully while standing; the
grain intended for consumption ought to be cut
while the berry is yet soft, in the dough state.—
Hitch grain will produce more dour, and of a
better quality than when dead ripe, besides being
much less liable to shelling and waste. After
moderate exposure to sun, rake up in bundles,
or if well ripened, rake up at once, and hind
•oon after, when if it requires additional curing
it may be finished in the shock. If put in stacks,
three should be carefully placed the reach
of vermin, and so arranged as to have a circula
tion of air upwanl through the centre of the
suck, to avoid mould and injury to the grain.-
The utmost care in stacking ought always to be
tiard, to avoid injury from rain, and blowing
down from high winds.
Kitchen Gaud ex.-— Cabbages of the several
varieties can now be planted for late crop*. —
Moist weather should be selected for this pur
pose, ami the plants immediately and frequently
watered, until they are well rooted. Melons,
•quashes, pumpkins, dec., ought to be carefully
hoed, and kept entirely free from weeds; other
wise, they will not produce good fruit. Melons
•ml cucumbers for pickles ran be sown in the
early part of this month. Sow kidney-beans,
Tiwnll salad, carrots, turneps and spinach for fall
and winter use: Celery should lie planted out
in trenches; and some varieties of raJishes and
pens may be pawn with reasonable prospect of
success, if the season should prove moist. Egg
plants, peppers and tomatoes, plant out if not
down before- Collect all the vegetable seeds
that have come to maturity, and dry them well
before putting away; also, gather herbs as they
come into flower, and dry them in the shade,
that the sun may not injure their flavor. Pull
up the sulks of beans, peas. Ac., which have
done bearing. Water may be frequently and
Wncftcially applied, but it should always be
dene at the dose of the day, otherwise the plants
will be injured by the heat of the sun.
FariT Gabos* axd Orchard.— Budding
may be performed upon pears and apples the lat
ter part of this month. Gather from the trees
and give to the cattle or swine, all fruit that is
-lerayed or punctured by the insect, otherwise the
insect, which now exists as a worm in the pre
mature fruit, will soon be able to fly and attack
the remainder. Also continue to cut oft’ all the
wood as fast as it may appear to be infested hy
the insect which produces a black knot. Keep
the ground well cultivated among the trees.—
There is very little else to be done in the fruit
garden this month, excepting it may be to con
mme its productions, for which directions may
poasihly not be requisite.
Piswir Gabos* a*d Pleaxcrx Gaor*ns.
—Bulbous and tuberous roots can now be taken
up. and tulips, hyacinths, dec., carefully put away
for planting in the fall. Herbaceous flowering
plants may still be transplanted from the seed
bed to the border, and should be taken up with
as much earth as possible about the roots. Hed
•ges ran also be clipped in the early part of this
mmth. Walks and borders keep constantly
clear of weeds, and let a general air of neatness
pervade every part of the garden.
Plantation. —As a general rule, give the
eotton crop its last working this month; some
maons the weeds will be too large to work with
plows without injury even before the 10th. Keep
the ftekfo clean; if your intention is either rota
tion. oc cotton to succeed cotton, it will save la
bor next yeaa^
Pav partmilar attention to your tobacco fields.
When the pants have acquired from 12 to 14
good leaves, and arc about knee high, begin to
top them by nipping off the bud with the aid of
the finger and thumb nail. Take care not to
destroy the small leaves near the buds, for if
the land be good and the season favorable, the
very top leaves will, in a short time, be nearly
as large, and ripen quite as soon as the lower
ones, whereby two or four more leaves may be
saved; thus obtaining from 16 to 18 leaves in
the place of 12 or 14. As the topping of the
plants is essential, in order to promote growth,
and to equalise the ripening of the leaves, this
operation should be commenced the instant that
the bud shows a disposition to go to seed; and
should be followed immediately by removing the
suckers as fast as they appear, which now
put forth a* every leaf.
The blades from the early planted com can
now be stripped for fodder. Let the shuch or
husk on the ear charge from the green to the
whitish cast, then tie a handful or so to itself
an! thrust the end of the tie betw-een the ear
and the stalk. Do not break down the stalks,
or it will requite more time to strip the blades,
but in the end there will be a gain; for it can
be gtft in sooner if the rain threatens, or if caught
m a ram it will not be injured so much. Cure
the fodder weli before stacking. Late corn will
Read plowing in this month, and peas may be
pla nu *l amongst it as directed in May.
The late plantings of potatoe drawings and
the plantings of vines will require plowing, and
drawing up with a hoe; continue to plant out
vines. If there is not ground enough in the po
tatoe patch, bed up ridges in the early corn fields.
Two furrows will do to plant on, which will not
materially injure the com. or plow up a choice
piece ofstubble ground anew.
Millet grass must be cot when just turning, if
fov feeding, and treated in the same manner as
stacking oats.
If your crop will admit of it, grub up small
growth; cut doWri saplings, arid deaden frees for
a calf pasture, to be sown in September or Octo
ber with rye. Plowing will Be unnecessary, the
fall of the leaves will cover the ground and the
grain will spring up and give a fine bite for the
winter. Make artificial pools in your pastured
for stock if there are no natural ones.
Prepare a tumep patch, either old ground by
manuring high and plowing, or a piece Os new
ground. The cotton gathering season is now
rapidly approaching; prepare baskets and sacks to
,pick in, all leisure time, especially all wet days.
Top cotton the last of this month, either by pin
ching off the tender top part of the plants or cut
off with a knife. Repair buildings and fences
about fields; rake up leaves and haul on the land;
gather manure and house it under sheds or give
it i. coating of earth.
If there are showors plant French beans; sow
more endive; prepare the ground for transplant
ing cabbages that are coming oti in the last of
this month. If the weather be very dry and the
soil unfit to work, prepare drills two feet apart,
and about eight inches deep, and pour into them
some cow'-dung water. Transplant your cab
bages into those drills and leave them four or five
days without watering. Then repeat the opera-
the manure water once more, and there
will be no danger of the plants bunting up.—
Should the season be rainy this precaution will
He tlnnecessaryi Sow itiore carrot seed and

A CRUEL DISAPPOINTMENT.
The accomplished and devoted wife of Capt.
Page, of the United States Army, as soon as she
heard of the terrible wound received by him in
the battle of Palo Alto, left the luxuries of home
and relatives to hasten to the bedside of her bat
tle-scathed husband. Bhe readied New Orleans
about two weeks ago, having travelled more than
a thousand miles, without pausing for an hours’
rest. At this place she embarked in the Alabama
for Point Isabel. That vessel was despatched to
Mobile for volunteers, where, owing to some diffi
culty about the term of enlistment, she was de
tained a week. At the expiration of this time,
the Alabama returned to New Orleans, and on
ly set sail for the Rio Grande last Friday; yes
terday Capt. Page arrived in this city—just about
the time Mrs. Page reached Point Isabel. It
was feared whilst she was here that she might
pass Capt. Page on the voyage ; but no persua
sions could induce her to forego an opportunity
of speeding to his relief. Her spirit was disturb
ed by the reflection that her Weeding husband
might need her help, and like a dove that seeketh
its mother’s nest, she would not he stayed. She
has learned ere now that the object of her care
is ntft Where she songht it; but the wings of
love are not easily wearied. —New Or Jeans. Pi*

It is quite fashionable just now to sneer at,
Messers, Cass, Allen, and other Senators, who
it is well known, were for 64° 40°, or all ol
Oregori or none. These gentlemen may be as
sured, however, that they lose no ground by
such attacks. The great events on the Mex
icans forntier, with their probable important con
sequences, reconcile men to more liberal arrange
ments with England, who, under other circum
stances, would have pershed before yielding an
inch Os Oregon. At any rate, this firmness, and
hig h gfbund taken by the 54 40 men which in
cludes the President) have coerced from Great
Britaiii a proposition for more equitable than she
ever offered before. And the country riever can
forget the courage, constancy and patriotism
with which the Senators alluded to, have defen
ded its rights. Sneers ahd sarcasms fall harm

MAULL’S CHALYBEATE AND SULPHUR
SPRINGS.
THE Proprietor of these truly valuable
Medi cal Strings, will open his house the
first of June next, for the accommodation of those
who deaire a retreat for health during the sickly
season; or for the afflicted who want a remedy
for their diseases. No pains shall be spared to
render his gtlests comfortable J and the afflicted
may be assured of every attention mat will tend
to alleviate theireufferings.
In advertising these Springs, no attempt in the
way of a newspaper puff will be Made about the
medical virtues of the watef—or the tremendous
cures effected by them. I will only say to the
afflicted, visit them—lay aside all pills, panaceas
and specifics (none are wanted while using the
watef) place yourself under my care, follow my
directions, and I pledge my word you will find by
happy experience that no humbug is attempted to
be palmed upon the community.
I state that no medicine is wanting while using
the watef, and I suffer none to be Used, from the
fact that there are several springs, differing in
quality and material, and in their action on the
system ; and when properly administered, they
produce every indication to the cure of diseases,
without the assistance ofmedicine. When drank
separately and combined, the following effects
may be produced as certainly as that Tarter Eme
tic will produce vomiting, viz i Purgative} tonic,
astringent, diuretic and sudorific. m
Sufficient test was made the last season of the
medical virtues Os the water, in the cure of Con
stipation of the Bowels, Debility, Diarrhoea, Dis
pepsia, Dropsy, Files, Rheumatism, diseases of
the Lives add Kidneys, add diseases incident to
Females, to warrant the assertion that they will
supercede the use of medicine in the cure of all
chronic diseases.
These Springs are situated in a high, healthy
region of country, five miles west of Columbus,
Geo., in Russell county, Ala.
Persons Visiting them by stage will have ready
conveyance by a daily hack from ColuMbtts to
