I’nder this rapt ion
\\c find the following words in an article
of a recent, i v iber of “Mooro’s Rural
New-York* r" : “We verily believe that as
a general rule, every young man who
leaves the farm for the counter, desk,
physic or law, fvnmLt* a certainty for on
uncertainty-and as to tho extent of that
uncertainty, let tho idle, starving thousands
of our largo cities answer." If it is
wealth that our young men desire, let
them learn tho important truth that agri-
cult uro has ever been thu most profitable
and pleasant of all occupations, and that
tho prosperity of every other trade or pro
fession is based upon this. It is tho sur
plus produce of the farmer that sets tho
wheels of tho manufacturer in motion;
that bids the sails of coiuinereo whiten
every sea: that gives to religion her min
isters, to education lmr students: that
supports tho busy population of the
crowded city, and that lends to govern
ment its resources, its energy and its very
being, is it fame they desiro ? If true
glory consists in the benefits we bestow
upon our fellow-beings, where is there a
man to compare with David Dickson ?
If, as we aro told, hois a benefactor of
his kind, who makes two blades to grow
wlioro only one grow before, then is Mr.
Dickson a bonefaetor indeed. 11 is name
is now a household word throughout tho
country, and whou tho names of men,
whoso political and forensic reputations
aro now national, slmll liavo boon forgot
ten, tho memory of David Dickson will bo
fresh and green. Wo know not how it is
with others, but us for ourself, had wo tho
most burning dosiro for famo, wo would
profor tho reputation of Mr. Dickson to
that of any man in North Amorica, Gon.

In assorting tho dignity of agriculture,
wo do not wish to bo understood ns ro
lled ing upon otlior occupations. They
are all rcspoctnblo so far as they aro use
ful, but giiuging them by this standard,
agriculture stands at tlio head of tho list.
What, wo do moan to say kowover is this,
that when any particular business is so
erowdod- which is the case with most oc
cupations now, but manual ones—that
many of its followers eko out a scanty
hubsistcnco, and live, as it wero from
hand to mouth, when their ago and sinews
til them for it, their usefulness and re
spectability would bo increased by adopt
ing iigreulluro or mechanics, oven if they

New Manufacturing Enterprise in

probable that within tho next few weeks,
a new manufacturing enterprise will be
inaugurated in Augusta. Air. Goo. Chris
tie, President of tho Passaic Falls Manu
facturing Company, of Patorson, New

inspecting thu water power in and con

point possessed of the requisite water
privileges for manufacturing purposes, iu
u latitude in tho midst of the section pro
ducing the raw nmtoriul, and at tho same
time enjoying sufficient railroad connec
tions to open up markets alike for the
purchase of the ruw* material and the sole
of the manufactured article. After a
thorough examination of the wealth of
water power afforded by tho Augusta Ca
nal, and a consideration of tho favorable
location of the city in other respects, this
gentlemau was most, favorably impressed
with the advantages secured to manufac
turing enterprises in Augusta. Indeed,
so convinced was h«* of the fitness of the
locality, that tho City Council were peti
tioner, at their regular meeting on Fri
day night, to allow him tho refusal for
one mouth of a building site on Jackson
street, opposite tho old Augusta Machine
•Shop, which petition was promptly grant
ed, The location desired is particularly
lav. ruble for tho purposes contemplated,
and 1ms been under treaty for some time

company, wo understand, should they ul

yarn manufacturing establishment, with
