P-Oftrij. [From the Model American Courier.] THE FLOWERS OF LIFE. LY JOHN LEECH. Where are the bads of life, Ready to bloom ? Gone from this world of strife. Sorrow and gloom ; Ere was their fragrance shed, Plucked from their flowery bed, Mow with the silent dead, Sleep in the tomb. Where are the flowers of youth, Blooming and gay ? Emblems of love and truth, Faded away ! Scarce had the dawn of light, Smiled on each tint so bright, Ere they had winged their flight, Upward to day. Where arc life’s blooming flowers, Lovely and fair ? Gone to death's silent bowers, Withered and sere ; Low in that calm retreat, Rose-bads and flowerets sweet, I’eace and oblivion meet, Mingling there. Kensington, Pa., August 14, 1552. iHiserUmumts. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME. Old .Merry was a candidate for the office of representative, in one of the counties of the Old Dominion, and was a man of wealth, and had some considerable pretensions to the etiquette of the class of gentry known as the “Old Virginia gentleman”—in other woids, he was a genuine F. F. V. lie was not above the practice of those little atten tions to the canaille, now so often stooped to by the candidate for office, especially in a close race. Ii is neighbor-in-law, Billy Hodge, one of the electors of the county, was a plain old farmer, belonging we sup pose, bv the rule of ratiocination, to the or der of S. F. V. He was, moreover, a man of horse sense, and hearing that his neighbor Merry had become a candidate for the Legis lature, and being of different politics, he con cluded to kill off his new-born courtesy 7 , by putting it to the torture of a severe trial. Ac cordingly, choosing a day when he knew his (Vend Merry had several visitors at his house, be repaired thither, and halloed at the gate.— This soon brought Mr. Merry, with your-bum ble-servant sort of a smile on bis counte nance. lie invited him in, and it being very warm weather, asked him to take a seat in the pi azza, where many of his male visitors were sitting. He bowed and scraped around him a good deal, hoping to gain good will, and make him a proselyte to his interest in the election, and insisted that he should make himself comfortable, just as he would at home. Old Billy put on the most awkward ap pearance he possibly could, turned about a time or two, then took off his coat and sat down. The attention of Mr. Merry, as may be supposed, did not cease, and presently be ached his neighbor to take a chink of wine, which he did. “Take a seat, Mr. Hodge, take a seat,” said Mr. Merry; “make yourself quite easy, and do just as you would at home.” “Thank’e,” said Hodge, “I’m doing very ’■fvell, only mv shoes are a little uncomforta ble; so i believe I’ll take ’em off,” and suiting the action to the word, off they came. Mr. Merry looked a little astonished, but said nothing. Presently Mr. Hodge di vested himself of his jump jacket, as he call ed it, at tire observing : “I hope I don’t intrude, but it’s so uncom mon hot.” “Not at all, not at all,” said Mr. Merry ; “I like to see my friends comfortable at the same time he inwardly consigned him to a place where he would lose his right to citizen ship in this country. At length, old Billy, apparently overcome with heat, stepped to one end of the piazza, and quietly divested himself of his breeches, •observing at the same time, “mostaliers take off rav breeches when about the house at home, in warm weather.” The first hint Mr. Merry had of the move, was old Billy walking by him, fanning him self with the skirt [?] of his shirt. In a mo ment all the honors of the office of repre sentative faded from his mind, and he seized Billy by 7 the collar of his shirt, and gave him a kick which sent him at least a part of his way home, throwing his shoes, breeches, coat and jump jacket after him. The next day the editor of the country paper got a letter de claring his withdrawal fiom the canvass by Mr. Merry, and to this day his brow is un shaded by the ci'ic wreath, and his deeds un sung by the bards of his country. The above is founded on fact, and the par ties are living to this day. If it has any moral, we leave you to find it out and ap plv it. - THE GREAT SWEEPSTAKES OF 1852. FOUR SAGS ENTERED. The entries to the Presidential race track, four mile heats, fifty million sweepstakes ev ery year for four years, are now complete.— Four nags are on the turf-—one is a regular old war horse, a little stiff in the joints from bad management, and somewhat troubled •with the Botts. He is, however, full of pluck, though good judges say he holds his head too high for a lour mile circuit. Opposed to him is a young horse from the Granite Hills, clean limbed; fight bodied, head well out, puts bis feet square to the ground, with a springy motion, has run well upon the quarter stretch, and has all the points of good wind and bot tom. Old sportsmen are betting on him, two to one, apainst the field. The third horse is the Old Defender, from Massachusetts: f • -Hk “In truth, he is a noble steed— s rim A Tartar of the Ukraine breed.” But be nas been sadly neglected and knock ed up by hard drudgery as a dray horse. He firesupNvith wonderful energy, notwithstand ing, at the tap of the drum ; and as it was im possible to hold him back at Baltimore, it has been determined to give him a chance, although at the great disadvantage of being next kq the outside. But outside of all comes the jolly Free Soiler, from New Hampshire. Helsa lively,blackish colored, woolly horse ; gco4 deal of wind and gas, but not much bottom ; rather heavy in flesh for a long heat, but full of deviltry. Every body be lieves he will run foul of old Chippewa or Youfig Hickory from the start, and throw one or the other of them ail of a heap before the race is over. It is very much feared from a bad habit of his jockeys, that he will give old Chippewa a horrible fall in turning the short corner of Ohio. In fact, we have reason to fear that at various points of the Ik course, the old Massachusetts bay, as well as Free Soiler, will jostle Seward,, the rider of Chippewa, very roughly—so much so that the knowing ones refuse to bet upon either the ; regular whig horse or his rider. But, drop i ping the parabie, each of the four candidates j before the people is a remarkable man. Gen. Scott is the greatest military chieftain, and S can produce a longer catalogue of killed and ; wounded than any hero iu the Union. Mr. | Webster is immeasurably the most learned and | powerful constitutional statesman of the day. | Gen. Pierce is, by all odds, the most sagacious I and sure-footed politician of them all, while j Hale is the most notorious w it and joker that i ever split the sides of the old fogies ot the j Senate with a roar of laughter. Thus we I have the perfection of military science, the j perfection of statesmanship and diplomacy, the perfection of political tactics, and the per fection of political buffoonery and ground and lofty tumbling, all in the field together.— The struggle is becoming intensely interest ing, and in a few short weeks we shall be able to see what will be the result. It looks bad for the Seward interest, but it may im prove. Let us have hope and whip up.— N. J. Herald. (DHrt poAnbu, (MM Anecdote of Henry Clay.—A writer in the last number of Harper’s Maga zine says, Mr. Clay related the following anecdote in a speech, made at Syracuse, N. Y., many years ago : “While I w’as abroad,” said he, “laboring to arrange the terms of the treaty of Ghent, there appeared a report of the negotiations, or letters relative thereto; and several quo tations from my remarks or letters, touching certain stipulations in the treaty, reached Kentucky, and were read by my constitu ents. “Among them was an odd old fellow’ who went by the name of Old Sandusky; and he was leading one of these letters one evening, at a near resort, to a small collection of the neighbors. As he read on, he c"ftme across the sentence, ‘This must he deemed a sins qua non.’ “‘What’s sine qua non V said a half-doz en hy-standers. “Old Sandusky was a little bothered at first; but his good sense and natural shrewd ness was fully equal to a ‘mastery of the Latin.’ • ‘".Sine — qua — non?’ said Old Sandusky, repeating the question very slowly; ‘why, Sine Qua Non is three islands in Passama quoddy Bay, and Harry Clay is the last man to give them up! No Sine Qua Non, no treaty, he says; and he’ll stick to it!’ ” OCT Grace Greenwood is having a delight ful time iu London. The Earl of Carlisle procured her admission to the House of Lords, to witness the proroguation by the Queen, who, she says, is more remarkable for “rosy plumptitude than regal altitude.” She styles Lablache “a monster of melody, who spouts up columns of sound from the vasty deep of his immense lungs, and whelms you in the flood.” Tapper, with whom she spent a day, she speaks of as a man “whose hospitality is as proverbial as his philosophy.” Miss Mitford is in a feeble state of health, yet resigned and cheerful. Sir Thomas Tal fourd is “a most quiet, kindly, unpretending man, and converses agreeably, though with occasional W'anderings of thought, and lapses into a sort of ejaculatory dreaminess.” Grace Greenwood dined with Mr. an and Mrs. Chaties Dickens, and a “small but brilliant party, at the house of the novelist, in Tavis tock Square. Mr. Dickens is slight in person, “with a fine symmetrical head, and eyes beaming with genius and humor.” He is in “admirable health and spirits, good for at least twenty more charming serials.” llis style of living is elegant and simple, and his servants w'ear no livery. “Mrs. Dickens is a charming person ; in character and manners truly a gentlewoman.” Walter Savage Landor is “a glorious old man, full of fine poetic thought, and generous enthusiasm for liberty.” Charles Kemble is “a grand-look ing old man, animated and agreeable in con versation, and preserving in a wonderful de gree his enthusiasm for his profession.” Car lyle said “Margaret Fuller was a great crea ture; hut you have no full biography of her yet; we want to know what time she got up, and what sort of shoes and stockings she w’ore.” Grace Greenwood speaks in the very highest terms of the considerate hospi tality of the English people. OCT A dandy is generally supposed to be about one-fourth walking stick, and the rest kid gloves and hair. 0O” A young man without money is like a steamboat without fuel. lie can’t go ahead. Among the ladies he is like the moon on a cloudy night. He can’t shine. GO 1 ” O, wondrous age! when want of na tive charms, no longer fills fair woman with alarms; when painted roses Morn the shal low face, and cotton stuffing gives her every grace; when piles of gold, her sire’s ill-got ten gains, are full atonement for the want of brains; when solid graces wield a blunted dart, while musk and moonlight win the lover’s heart. (LT“Tiiirst after Righteousness.”— A “hard case” was interrogated, the other Sun day, by a friend, who had just been seen at church, hut was now seen swallowing a glass of brandy and water at a public bar-room, thus: “I saw you at church this morning, listening very attentively to the discourse ; how comes it that l now see you here drink ing?” “1 always thirst after righteousness,” was the answer. OCT Love and Provender. —When young men have nothing to live upon but love, they’ get married-—just as if hugging and kissing were a substitute for mutton chops; or as if terms of endearment would supply the place of mashed taters and fiicasseed mackerel. The philosopher who said that love was a beautiful madness, was not iar from the mark. (jNr Resignation.—A very worthy and respectable gentleman from Portland, who occasionally takes a “smile,” was asked by a friend how he managed to get along where the Maine Liquor Law was so rigidly en forced. “Ah, sir,” he replied, “like a good Christian—l go to my closet.” OCT” Rare or Well Done. —“ Will you have it rare, or well done ?” said a landlord to an Irishman, not long ago, as he was cut ting a piece of roast beef. “I love it well done ever since I am in this country—for it was rare enough we used to ate it in Ireland,” said he. O’ A Mr. Hen has just started anew pa- ! per in lowa. He says he hopes by hard scratching to make a living for himself and I his little chickens. DR. tic GRAFFENRIED’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. IN introducing this medicine to the people of the Uni ted States, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to sub mit the following statement cl Dr. deGruffenried, its discoverer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicine for the hist twenty-two years, in all forms of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un paralleled in the annals of medicine; and he has no hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the. most valua ble remedy ever yet discovered fori he relief of this most painful and distressing malady. Ilis note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, in which it has been used within the above named period, and in no single instance has it come to his knowledge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persevered in. Many of the cases were from lour to ten years’ standing; and what may appear yet more re markable and extraordinary, is, that when the patient has been once relieved, the disease is permanently cured, and remains so, uot a solitary instance having been re ported to him of its return. Ali he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impartial and patient trial; for the results he entertains no appre hension. Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well assured, had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated in to the English language, and had used all the remedies of any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with, however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu manity. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country. But the undersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all others have failed, and that he shall have been an hum ble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the hu man family of a vast amount of suffering.

DeGRAFFENRIED & Cos., Proprietors. CERTIFICATES. Jones’ Hotel, Puiladeltiiia, March 3,1550. i Col. A. B. Ragan : I Dear Sir, —It affords me great pleasure to be able to bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Dr. dcGraf fenried's Rheumatic Linin': at. I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced Rheumatic gout. For several winters past I have been confined to my room and bed nearly all the time. In January last, I had an attack as violent if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about three weeks. On your recommendation I commenced the use of this Liniment, (with, 1 must confess—but. lit tle faith.) Its effects were astonishing and decidedly beneficial from its first application. In a few days my back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so continue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling reduced, with the use, of less than one bottle. I have been in the discharge of my ordinary business ever since. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious remedy for this disease which i have ever met with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to ail who may be afflicted with it. Respectfully, yours, N. W. BRIDGES. Baltimore, March 30, 1350. Dr. DeGraffenried : Dear Sir, —For the last twelve years I have suffered very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one-fourth of the ume confined to my bed bv it. I have, had the best medical aid to be found in various cities of the United States, with little or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a cure. I spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After my return home, Iso far recovered as to be able to walk about a little. About -ix weeks since, I had a very severe attack which again confined me to iny bed. I was in great pain and scarcely able to move my limbs, when a friend of mine called and inform ed me that you had discovered an infallible remedy, and had cured many, and amongst them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheumatic Liniment, and take pleasure in informing you that in less than twenty-four hours from the. first application, I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so, up to this time. I run now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those af flicted, as I have been, may be as speedily relieved as J have been, with your medicine. Wishing you ali the blessing, you deserve, dear sir, Your grateful and ob’t servant, GEO. WARDSWORTH. Columbus, (Ga.,) Jan. 5, 1850. Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried: Dear Sir, —Feeling it to be my duty to inform you ol the effect produced by your Liniment , I embrace the op portunity of so doing. It might not be amiss for me to give you the particulars of my ease. Some time ago I was attacked by a .severe pain in my joints, and never having had the Rheumatism, I knew not what to attri bute it to, but in a few days it terminated in the old fashioned Rheumatism in its moat aggravated form ; and up to the time of procuring a bottle of your valuable medicine, I had been under the care of a skillful physi cian, but without deriving any benefit therefrom. Have ing frequently heard of many astonishing cures produced by your medicine, 1 resolved to t.vt its merits, and am much gratified with the result. I had been kept awake for nights in succession with the most excruciating pain. An application of the Liniment acted like a charm, easing the pain almost instantly. I soon fell into a quiet sleep, such as I had not enjoyed for sometime. 1 made but five applications and am now entirely well. I will take great pleasure, I assure you, in recommend ing a medicine that so well recommends itself. ” Very respectfully, SAML. F. OSBORNE. T can always be found at Davis Muiford’sstore. Broad street, by any desiring further particulars. S. F. O. Columbus, (Ga.,) April 17,1851. Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried: Dear Sir, —In January, 1849,1 was violently attacked with Inflammatory Rheumatism in my feet, and was not able to turn myself in bed, for three weeks, without help. I employed all the remedies then used in such cases, aided by medical advice, until March, 1850, at which time I was severely attacked again with acute Rheumatism in the feet. I was then ten or fifteen days confined to my room under medical treatment with but little benefit. I. wa< at that time advised to try your valuable Rheumatic Liniment,and I purchased a bottle; and after close application for a week, the pain entirely left my feet, and have not had a return of it up to the present time. I now take great pleasure in recommend ing it to all who are afflicted with Rheumatism. A. G. BARDEN. Columbus, May 10, 1350. Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried: Dear Sir, —Sometime in .Tune last, 1849, my servant girl Maria, who cost me about §I,OOO, was taken down with violent Inflammatory Rheumatism in her knee, which was enormously swollen, so that she was per- I iectly disabled, and had to have a hoop over the knee to ; keep” the bedclothes from resting on it. I had had the [ best medical attendance for her, for nearly two months, ; which this city afforded, without affording any relief. Mrs. Hunly was advised to use your Rheumatic Lini ; meat, two bottles of which resulted in a perfect cure in | about fifteen days, and she has never had a return of it since. I can confidently recommend it as a remedy surpassing all others for this painful disease. I am, deni- sir, truly, your obedient servant, JOHN HUNLY. Columbus, (Ga.,) June 23,1851. Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried: During the winter of 1849 and ’SO, while laboring in the mines of California, I experienced an attack ol Rheumatism in its most excruciating form. For several weeks, all the remedies that common experience or me j dieal skill could suggest were made use of with no bene ficial results; and in this situation I was compelled to abandon the mines and perform a painful journey to the i settlements, where, in some respects, I might be made more comfortable. On arriving at San Francisco I met a friend, who,fortunately, was in possession of a bottle i of Liniment that had been sent to Him from your labora i tory, and which he kindly proffered me. I need hardly | say, that, from many years’ acquaintance with your in tegrity and skill, I commenced using it with strong I hopes; but I was not prepared for the almost magical effects which followed. A single application assured me that confidence had not been misplaced ; and in three or four days, (using the Liniment according to direc tions,) tiie inflammation had entirely subsided, the pains left me, and my limbs were restored to their accustomed freedom. For several months subsequently I was in the mountains, exposed to snows and rain, frequently sleep ing on the ground, without feeling the slightest return of the disease. Permit me, dear sir, in conclusion, to express the hope, that you may find it convenient to send a large quantity ofyour medicine to that distant portion of our country, where Rheumatism prevails to a great extent, and which, in very many cases, all the ordinary remedies fail to al- I am, very truly, yours, JNO. WARD. Columbus, July 2nd, ISSI. Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried: Dear Sir, —Twelve months ago I was suddenly and j violently attacked with Rheumatism in one of my legs, | which confined me to my bed for two weeks. After j having tried every remedy I could hear of, without ob taining any relief, my pains daily increasing, I was ad- , vised by Mr. Mott to try your Liniment. I bought one pint bottle, and, to my astonishment, I received almost j immediate relief; and in less than owe week after the : first application, I could walk about without much pain, j and in ten days I felt entirely well. 1 have since ex- \ posed myself a great deal, and not having had a return of the disease, I feel that I can say with propriety I am j entirely cured. I take great pleasure in recommending your valuable j Liniment to the public,particularly to those suffering j f with Rheumatism, and would, also, advise those having Neuralgia or pains of -iny kind to give it a trial.

R. S., of Edinburgh, author ol the “Book of the Farm,” &c. &e.; assisted by John P. Norton, M. A., New Haven, Professor of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, Ac., &e This highly valuable work will comprise two largo royal octavo volumes, containing over 1400 pages, with 18" or 20 splendid steel engravings, and more than 600 engravings on wood,in the highest style ot the art; illus trating almost every implement of husbandry now in use by the best tanners, the best methods of plowing, plant ing, haying, harvesting, &c. &c. , the various domestic an imalsin their highest perfection; in short, the pictorial features of the book is unique, and will render it of in calculable valuable to the student of agriculture. The work is being published in Semi-monthly Num bers, of 61 pages each, exclusive of the Steel engra vings, and when not taken in connection with the Re views or Blackwood, is sold at 25 cents each, or $5 for the entire work in numbers, of which there will be at least twenty-two.

Although these works are distinguished by the politi cal shades above indicated,yet buta small portion of their contents is devoted to political subjects. It is their lite rary character which gives them their chief value, and in that they stand confessedly far above all other journals of their class. Blackwood, still under the masterly gui dance of Christopher North, maintains its ancient cele brity, and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the serial works of Bulwer, and other literary notables, writ ten for that magazine, and first appearing in its columns both in Great Britain and in the united States. Such works as “Caxtons” and “My New Novel,” (both by Bulwer), “My peninsular Medal,” “The Green Hand.” and other serials, of which numerous rival editions are issued by the leading publishers in this country, have to be re-printed by those publishers from the pages of Black wood, after it ’ has been issued by the Messrs.

INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES AND PROGRESS OF TIIE SOUTHERN* & WESTERN STATES. In three Large and Closely Printed Volumes, Small Type, Double Columns ; Hand some Print, Paper and Binding. DESIROUS of supplying the large and continually increasing demand for the complete series of the Re view, in 12 volumes, now exhausted, and which.it would require a very large outlay to reprint, the. editor has been induced to make a selection of ail the important and valuable papers contained in them from the begin ning, condensing, re-arranging and completing to date, and throwing the subjects, after the manner of the ency clopedias, into alphabetical order. In this manner ev erything of intcre-t and importance, will be preserved in a convenient form for reference ; and the volumes will constitute the only repository for the shelves of the library, of such Information, which by means of the monthly numbers b.aaSfo:’ will always be brought down to date. The volumes will embrace the gist of everything that has appeared in the Review relating to the Southern and Western States, (an imperfect index of which will be found at the open ing of the Kith volume.) To wit: Their History, Population, Geography, Sta tistics ; Agricultural Products of Cotton, Sugar, To bacco, Hemp, grains, Naval stores, etc.,etc. Manufac tures, detailed accounts, statistics and history of all branches.

As not one in twenty of our present subscribers we believe have taken the work from the beginning, or have presetved the numbers regularly, this edition is re commended to them,and the volumes hereafter will be bound uniformly with it. And the same care is taken now to print an” edition of the monthly numbers so large that a reprint or condensation can never be required again.

For the llemoval and permanent Cure of all diseases arising from an Impure State of the blood, or habit of the system. The value of this Medicine is now widely known, and every day the Held of its usefulness is extended- — It is approved, and highly recommended by Physicians, and admitted to bo the most powerful and searching preparation from the root, that has ever been employed in medical practice. Its operation extends to the remo test parts of the system, and consists in removing dis eased action in the absorbing and secreting organs. In man, Nature seldom effects, unassisted, the cure of any virulent disease, but requires the aid of a stimulant, al terative, or antiseptic medicine. In diseases of the skin and flesh, a combination of these three classes of me dicinal agents is highly desirable. AM these properties are combined in this preparation ; and instead of op erating successively upon the system, as they must nec essarily do when taken separately, they operate simulta neously and in perfect harmony when administered in this form. Its tonic property strengthens the digestion, and improves the appetite. Its alterative tendency car ries off the accumulations of morbid matter,and it:- an tiseptic influence neutralizes the virus, by which the dis ease is fostered. Its uniform success in curing and re lieving the various diseases for which it is recommen ded, is established by a multitude of attested facts. C ure of Bronchitis or Ministers’ Sore Throat. Fait.

It would be difficult for me to describe the alarming condition of my throat and vocal organs previous to the use of your invaluable remedy. During nearly three years I was forced to desist from the public duties of my profession ; and having mado use oi a great va riety of prof-sod specifics, besides submitting to more limn thirty extremely painful caustic applications, I bad abandoned all hope of relief, when, as a dernier resort, I was led to the trial of your Sarsaparilla. My disease was of so long standing, and had so obsti nately resisted the best medical skill, that 1 am conscious it cannot truly i.o said, my “faith hath saved me,” for I had none : but j trust I feel in some appropriate degree grateful for the favorable, result above named. I have now been able to attend to the duties of tin* pastorale for more than a year, and having proved from actual experiment the thoroughness of the cure, I could not tii I justified in longer withholding this statement. 1 am accustomed to keep apottie of your Sarsaparilla at hand, and whenever exposed to colds or extra labor, still use it as a preventive.

TIIE SOIL OF THE SOUTH. TN May, 1850, a number of Planters living in Georgia and Alabama,met in Columbus, Ga., and formed them selves into an Agricultural Society. The advantages of such an association were at once apparent, and with the view to contribute as much as possible to agricultural improvement,it was doteirnined, at a meeting of the So ciety in January, 1851, to establish an Agricultural Jour nal. As the result of that action, “THE SOIL OF THE SOUTH,” made its appearance in the month of March last. It wa? hailed with universal approbation, and Iroin that day to this, it has steadily and rapidly increased in circu lation and public favor. At the recent great Fair in Ma con, Ga., it waa by a unanimous vote of the members’ recommended to the patronage ol Southern Agricultu rists, and elected to be the ORGAN OF THE SOUTHERN CENTRAL AGRIGULTURAL ASSOCIATION. it will hereafter be published under the auspices ol that association,and will be the medium of communica ting officially, all intelligence pertaining to its interests, and object?. By a resolution of the Executive Commit tee, the publisher is authorized to send a copy of the paper gratuitously to all Agricultural Societies iti the South) that will send their address to the office of publication.. The columns of The. Soil of the South will, as here tofore, be devoted to the discussion of all subjects per taining to the interests of Agriculture and Horticulture, Domestic and Rural Economy. It is intended to make the paper essentially practical, and at the same time eminently progressive, in its character, embodying as far as possible, all that is valuable, as well in the practice as the science of Agriculture, in its instructions, it will be the constant aim of those who write for its col umns, to adapt themselves to the peculiar climate,soils and crops of the South. In shoit, no effort and no reasonable expense will be spared, to make The Soil oj. the Soul h a worthy and instructive Journal ol South ern Agriculture.

LOMAX & CO., January J, 1852. Publishess. TO THE LABORING CLASSES! PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING TIIE AMERICAS FARMER AXI) MECHANIC, A Weekly Paper, to be Devoted to the Industrial Interests of the South. H'OVV are the great industrial interests of the South . to be promoted ! What more feasible plan than the establishment of a Journal, devoted to their general development and support'? For the accomplishment 01 this object—the development and promotion of these ends—the subscriber proposes publishing in the city of this State furnishing the largest subscription, a paper de voted to the interests of the Laboring Class, in every sense of that term. In keeping with the object as intimated above, it? aim will be to elevate the true artisan to that dignity of sta tion so justly due those who, to so large an extent, give character to a nation ; and who, by their numerical force, if in no other way. govern the ail air? oi every enlight ened people. ~ ~ And in attempting this, it shall be done witn a IreC dom from that prejudice existing to such an extent amongst those to whose affairs we thus intend devoting our time and energies. We wish it done by a home ed - ucation —a general enlightenment, that banishes blind prejudice, and makes room for that enlarged charity • which forbids envy, and delights in protecting each his neighbor in the enjoyment of all lawful rights ol prop erty or station. An education that teaches indepen dence of thought and action—that enables one to fr.cl and act the freeman. We wish, in a word, to bring into existence a paper which shall only prove a benefit to the laborer, whether the scene of Ins operations isiu the held or the work-shop, and shall injure no one. We are aware of the fact that the American Me chanic, published for mechanics, proved a failure. Ims resulted from more than one cause. Firstly and main ly, because of a want of effort, amongst those for whom it labored! Secondly, because in its general tonc. it exhibited 100 little sympathy for the into:efts of the slaveholder. This, however, was more the spirit ol its correspondents than its editor, though he, unfortunately, so!e!v, had to shoulder the failure, its cause, its loss.— Lastlv, the paper, though larger than its patronage would warrant, was too small; an objection ausing from the fact, that one containing four times the matter could be had at the same price. We mention, though we shall not now discuss, these matters. Though many do so, we cannot conclude, because or one failure, there must be another; no. we cannot be lieve the people, in their knowledge 01 the necessity, will not welcome, i HEER the stranger, by a general invi tation to their fire sides. Indeed, will not every one who respects honest labor, become, at once, a Z-W* Sub scriber and an Agent l IffA We present this one plea as a necessity for the Tar re ;r and Mechanic, and leave it with those most inter ested, to show by their acts, whether they shall have a paper to advocate their cause when necessary, a friend to cheer them in their honorable position, or whether their interests shall still suffer, as heretofore. ‘I hat plea is this: What would be the condition of Christianity, had it not its various publications? Where would oe me Political Parties without theirs? Indeed, how much would any and every interest suffer did we not continu ally hear their good parts recited by that voice which spoke into existence and still upholosonr freedom-that has to be stilled while empire? totter and tremble to their foundation ! And what mighty voice is this ? ’l is the voice of the Press! Engage it 111 your favor, laboring one= and you have a lever strong enough to bear you far above the scoffs of pride, or evils of poverty.
