The returned soldiers are loth to en gage in agricultural pursuits; therefore, some incentive must be given, and some inducement held out to those who will cultivate and improve the soil of our coun- ; 11 - n0 *’ ^ otH try. The soil of the iouuth is in great danger of being uncultivated* or, at least, improperly cultivated. The policy of wearing thread-bare the land, and then seeking elsewhere that which is more productive, should belong exclusively to the past. This must be a great country, and it is incumbent on the present generation that the soil should be left, at least, as productive as it was found, in order that posterity may not be overburdened by having to contend with an exhausted soil, in addition to the diffi culties which a dense population always entails. The legislative bodies should look to the lasting interests of the country, and adopt measures to ensure the proper cul tivation of the soil and its gradual im provement. The once bleak and sterile, but now fertile and productive, hills of Scotland, illustrate, in the most conclusive manner, what a wise system of legisla tion, aided by intelligent.agriculturists who hesitated not to employ a thorough system of under-ground drainage, by pipe- tiles and other costly means, can effect, in a few years for the most incorrigible soil. In our present prostrated condition, every energy of every man should be call ed lortb and directed in Uic way the moot appropriate to the talent of the respec tive individuals. The country’s hopes depend on the young men,/especially on tiiose who turn their attention to the cul tivation of the earth, and this class should be particularly suppoitcd and encouraged. with Kentucky and Virginia in fine cat tle, of every description, and the miser able creatures which now meet our gaze everywhere, and are all horns and hoofs, may be turned over to th^vultures. Let our hillsides be covered with vines, as in France and Germany, or even some of the I|prthwestern State#* in order that the cup which “ cheers but not inebriates,” may drive from our land those villainous compounds which “steal away the brains,” and fill our prisons and mad houses with petted eons of indulgent mothers. Let that fallacious idea be done away with that farming is not as honorable an avo- Rules ami Regulations for Farm Hands. Col. Davis, in charge of the Freedman’s Bureau at Clarksville, • Tennessee, has adopted the following rules for the gov* ernment of farm laborers; and a gentle man—a large planter of that State—who has tried them during the present year, informs the Louisville Journal that they work admirably well. “ Up to this time,” he says, “ I have had not the slightest variance with any of my employees. They are contented and happy. Knowing what :s expected of them they do it willingly and cheerfully. I have not even spoken cation as merchandise, law, medicine, etc. / roughly to one of them. These are regarded, by some, who are not cognizant of the many responsibilites and troubles attendant thereon, as being easy modes of earning a livelihood. Believe A system that works so well in one in stance must surely have something com mendable in it, and we cheerfully submit them to the consideration ol, and adoption men, but know that, to cu- by, the farmers and planters of Georgia: sure success in any calling, perseverance and application, untiring application, are necessary. “'Ihe great difference in men,” says Bulwcr, ‘ is not in talent, but in per severance ant energy—and if you suc ceed in life ’twill bo by work, and nothing but work.” L't the doctrine, then, be pro mulgated fron the pulpit, disseminated by the press and, incorporated in our laws that ag iculture is the basis of a country’s prosperity, and that the agri* culturist is tie man to be most honored as the benefattor of his race. He it is of whom “ ranth, rovin’’ Robin would say: “ What tho’ on homely fare we dine, Wear lundin gray and a’ that; Gie fools tieir silks, and knaves their wine, A man’s a man for a’ that ; For a' tiat, and a’ that— Their tinsel show and a’ that, The honest man tho’ e’er sae poor, • ' Is king o’ men for a' that.” If these truths can be impressed on the minds of tke young tnen of the country; if they can be persuaded to forego the ap parent comfort and ease of ensconcing themselves behind a counter, to fritter away noble energies which should he de voted to Letter pursuits; if that indolent idea, that ’li$ preferable to choose some avocation in the shads, for fear of bronzing their delicate complexion, can be eradi cated from their pates; if farmers’ sons can be persuaded to dig, from mother earth, the riches which a nuunious Deity has the"'’ stowed for man’s welfare; if all will strive with might, sou! and strength, then will there be a sure foundation for a magnificent superstructure; then will com- raerce, and not otherwise, flourish as a green bay tree, and the arts and sciences KCI.ES AND KEGl’I.ATIOXS FOR FARM HANDS. 1.

Wade Hampton, lie meets the question on which he writes with profound wisdom. Ilis letter is replete with intelligehcc and patriotism. It is entitled to reopcct, for a gallant and skillful leader in war, is al ways a safe counsellor in peace: Tv the Editor of (he Columbia Phtvnix: Sir: Numerous communications having been addressed to me, proposing to form a colony to emigrate, 1 take this method of answering them, not'only on account of their number, but because of the want uf ell mail facilities. The desire to leave a country which lias been reduced to such ;■ deplorable condition us ours, and whoso hit lire lias so little of hope, is doubtless as wide spread .is is natural. But 1 doubt the propriety of this expatriation of so many of our best men. Hie very fact that our State is passing through so terri ble an ordeal as at present, should cause her sons to cling more closely to her. My advice to all my fellow-eilizeus is that they should devote their whole energies Id the restoration of law and order, the es tablishment of agriculture and commerce, the promotion of education and rebuilding of our cities and dwellings which have been laid in ashes. To accomplish these objects, the highest that patriotism can conceive, 1 recommend that all who can do so should take the bath of allegiance to the United States Government, so that they may participate in the restoration of civil government to our State. War, after four years of heroic but un successful struggle, has failed to secure to us the rights for which wc engaged in it. To save any of our rights, to secure any more from the general ruin, will require all the statesmanship and all the patriot ism of our citizens. If the best men of our country, those who for years past have risked their lives in her defence, refuse to take the oalh, they will be excluded from tho councils of the State, and its destiny will be committed of necessity to those who forsook her n her hour of need, or to those who would gladly pull her down to irretrievable ruin To guard against such a calamity, let all true patriots devote themselves with zeal and honesty of pur- 10.

Behold the result! China is the best cultivated country in the world, and feeds an immense multitude of inhabitants, who, at first sight, appear too numerous for the space they occupy. The tradesmen in cities, even the most servile mechanics, the idle citizens, con sider the husbandmau with a disdainful eye; they humble and discourage him, and dare to despise a profession that feeds the human race—the uatural employment of man. Thus writes a philosopher of the last century, and does he not portray, alas, too correctly, the sentiments of many of this day? “ Tillage being the source,” says a learn ed author, “ whence a nation derives its subsistence, it forms the surest resource and the most solid fund of riches.” Ag riculture is the grand substratum on which rest commerce, the arts and sciences Let premiums be offered for model far mers—let fairs be held at all our towns, after the example of “ the blue-grass region” of Kentucky—for the promotion of agricultural emulation, so that every farmer may raise a fine colt, calf, or pig for the next fair, and thus keep alive the spirit of progress. Let enterprise in all industrial pursuits, pertaining to the im proving of the soil, be encouraged by our legislative bodies. Let every thing be done which true wisdom and political pnr dence wonld suggest, for the creation of a permanent interest in the hearts of the young men for the cultivation and im provement of the soil. » Induce them, Mr. Editor, by every con sideration to devote their energies to all collateral subjects, such as remodeling their farms by introducing the latest and most scientific improvements, and throw ing aside the policy of patting “all the grain in. one end of the bag and a rock in the other,” merely because their wise dad dies set them the illustrious axample. Our Btock has deteriorated, let it be im proved by importing the finest specimens of every species, that Georgia may vie South throw off the horrible incubus of Indolence which has, heretofore, crouched on her breast, and her people will become a iiappy and a prosperous people. _ Young men, do not be ashamed to work in any honest or honorable capacity, but let me beseech you to work in some capa city. Y~ou have fought like true South rons for your country, and now be brave enough to reorU for the same country Fate has decreed that the sword could not disenthrall us; will you believe that work is to be the blessed instrumentality? Work, work for thirty years like you have fought for four; work day and night; work wisely and. prudently at the plow, at the loom, at the machine-6hop, at the press, in the study and in the legislative hall, and the South will be what every true Southerner prays it may become! Cease to idle in the streets, go to zcork, do something, do anything, in preference to that miserable, drone-like system of ex isting; (not Hving, for life is more than breathing and eating, and gossiping,) which loafers do patronize. There is a mighty work for yon to do, that of atne- lio iting the condition of yourself and your fellow creatures, and thus winning the smile of Heaven. But farmer’s sons, a word to yon, espe cially: Be not ashamed to “earn your bread by the sweat of your brow,” ’Tis an innocent and a noble calling. No dirty pennies fill the farmer’s purse; the pen nies he earns are clean honest pennies.— No remorseful dreams disturb his sleep; no horrid nightmare bids him sleep no more, or, broods o’er bis sleeping form; bat calmly and sweetly, as a smiling babe, sleeps the honest, wearied, laboring man. You can work and yet be the fiuest of gentlemen. Adam delved the soil of Pa radise, and certainly he was a geiUleman Cincinnatus left his plow to sway the rod of empire over the mistress of the world, and that duty discharged, he was not too prond to grasp the humble plow-share with that palm which had led conquering armies to victory. Then, be not ashamed, young men of the South, to cultivate and improve the soil of your native land, for countless blessings will be yours in. your own day and generation, and when you shall have drawn the drapery of your couch about you, to be gathered to your fathers, “ the thanks of millions yet to be” will testify to the wisdom of your course. .

Select such men and make them serve as your representatives. You will then he sure that your rights will not be wantonly sacrificed nor your liberty bartered for a mess of # pottage.— My intention is to pursue the course I re commend to others. Besides the obligations I owe to my State, there are others of a personal char acter which will not permit me to leave the country at present. I -shall devote myself earnestly, if allowed to do so, *o the discharge of these obligations, public and private. In the meantime, I shall ob tain all information which would be de sirable in the establishment of- a colony, in case we should ultimately be forced to leave the country. I invoke my fellow- citizens, especially those who have shared with me the perils and the glories of the past four years, to stand by our State manfully and trely. The Koman Senate voted thanks to one of their Generals be cause, in the darkest hour of the Repub lic, he did not despair. Let us emulate the example of the Roman, and thus en title ourselves to the gratitude of our country.

Artemus Ward on Reorganization.—Ar temus Ward, in a recent letter, thus gives an idea of reorganization: I have never attempted to reorganize my wife but once. I shall never attempt it again I’d bin to a public dinner, and had° allowed myself to be betrayed into drinkin’ several people’s health; and, wisll- ino- to make them as robust as possible.— I continued drinking their health until my own became affected. The consequence was I presented myself at Betsy’s bedside, la’e at n%ht, with considerab e Ucker con cealed about niv person.' I had somehow got possession of a hosswhip on my way home. Rememberin’* some cranky obser- vashun of Mrs. Ward’s in the morning, I snapt the whip putty lively, and in aloud voice said, Betsy, yon need reorganizin’. I have come, Betsy,” I continued—crackin’ the whip o’er the bed—“ I have come to reorganize yon.” Thatnite I dreamed that somebody had laid a hosswhip over me several times, and when I woke up I found she had.
