Di l. (oi \RH.nr. It will be observed that the matter
of the Cultivator is now protected bv copyright. This is
not intend* and to bar our exchanges from extracting what

Oi k Cm,mow. .\ uhxr. \\ e have been so fortunate as
■to secure the co-operation of A. W. Reese, Esq., of late
| or,c of thc e<J >tors of the Southern Watchman, of this
j ' vho ' vi!! as Con oral Agent of thc Southern Cul
ti\in canvassing for subscribers, in various parts of
“ District Xo. 3.”

Lost in thk Mails.—Our friends of the Gardener’s
Monthly complain of the mails, having lost 500 copies,
sent to subscribers in January and February. We our
selves have suffered severely in the same way, having of
| ten t 0 ful 'ward papers twice over, and tlie money losses
also are considerable—as many as three letters being re
pm ted in one day as sent, containing remittances that
have never come to hand. In some cases, the writers
found they were in fault—the letters coining back to them
because of unpaid postage ; but t-her.e are a few Post Offi
ces which we have complaints frorp regularly every month,
from certain subscribers >vhom,blir mail clerk knows aro
supplied. Ihere is no fault to'be found with thc Athens
office, we know; but there are certain officials elsewhere,
that have no scruples at taking the Test Oath, or anything
else more valuable.
White foh the Cultivator.— Some of our planting
friends would like to receive the Cultivator in return for
communications, but, though of large experience and ex
cellent sense, hesitate, because not accustomed to write
for the press. We trust they will have no hesitation on
on that score, because if they will supply valuable facts
and experience, we will very cheerfully put them iu prop
u stupe. Some of the most sensible articles we print,
have to undergo quite a thorough revision as to orthogra
phy and style, before publication. In these revisions, the
idea of the writer is preserved, but frequently, to make it
clear, the sentence or expression needs more or lew
change. Send on then your artides. Good practical ar
ticles are currency of the right sort, and a “ legal tender’
for your subscription Cos the CokfvnCor.
