Cateiil'ili.ah Lew Prices —B owing Small Grain—Appeal to Farmers—The Labor Qibstios. Mr. Editor: It hsa been my intention for some time to write you a ahoit communication, acme what on ‘‘general principles,” though it is not my design to deal in mney sketches, but in facts as I understand them. I will commence by saying for the information of those wno do not know directly, aa well as for those who are directly interested iu “ King Cot ton,” tba! the crop through this section is des tined to be a short one. There are various rea sons that force this conclusion. Iu the first place, we have had an unusually bad year for cotton, in const quenee of heavy and continual rains during the fruiting season, loilowed by the destructive boll worm, in many localities sweeping nearly all; tlun the ravages Oi the caterpillar commenced, uud .he) are doing their work effectually. What damage will be done by their depredations, f am unable at present to determine. Taking it alto gether the cutiook for cotton ia gloomy, it baa more enemies, and ia subject to more disasters, , tbau any crop grown; therefore ’ti# not sound | policy to risk too much on it. Viewing It in an other aspect, it is not very encouraging. The j price paid for cotton is too low to be remunera tive, and the ‘‘cotton ring” seems determined to keep it down. The funds, judging from what has transpired, set in to be short —inadequate to meet ihe demands even o* :hort crops, at the low flg vr.s that rule at present. What must be the ieel ings ol those who have laborul hard, tor long wea y mouths, and staked til upon s cotton crop, to see that crop devastated, the prices reguU‘ed not by the tile of the crop, but by shylocks, rpec ulaiors, and ricg6—money locked up on Wall s’reel and elsewhere, auil cotton u heavy drag is it not enough to cause us to relinquish our affec tions, which have been inordinate, and place them elsewhere? Look at the impoverished state of the country: money hard up, your corn cribs empty, mules’ stomachs empty, save the grass they have nipt, whieh grows spoutanei.ua irom the earth, and It there was a mortgage to mat, they would die in many instances. Emptiness seems to pervaJe all over the land; .s it not lamentable, and yet how true? Farmers of Monroe ccuuty, and Middle Georgia, you are blest wi’.h a bulubrio'is climate and a pioductive soil. You can aud ought to lender your farms sell-sustaining, by a diversity ot crops, and prop er cultivation. I beseech you to wake up Irom your lethagy, shake off the shackles that Lave bouud you, dispel the iff-lated delusion—the siren dream of hope. Boast not ol your achievements as au agiiculturul people, talk not ot your iude- as husbandmen, under existing circum stances ; it is a misnomer, a thing ol fancy, a mere hallucination ot the braiu. Far better lor U 6, if the last vaslige of the ill dated “King” was sunk beneath the ocean waves, aud the tempestuous billows that surge aud foam above it, sing its re quiem—better consign it to the tomb of oblivion, and let the dark waves ot taciturnity roll aro mil its mouldeiiug greatness--than lor us to remain forever poor, “hewers ol wood and drawers of water * ior the batauce ot the world, and especial ly lor the “cotiou rings” Our action in this matter is a reproach upon our common sense and iuiilligence, to eay nothing of the sagacity that should characterize us. Of what particular eonciru to a well-to-do inde pendent tanner, who has plenty of corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, peas, potatoes, meat and lard, who has looked well to this matter, and kept free from debt comparatively, sigued no mortgages, is the short cotton crop, or if there was a total tail are. Of all the people that live, move, aud have a habitation upon me farmers as a class (hon orable xceptlons, however,) are the most short sighted and reckless in the adjustment of their farming interests. Their energy aud zeal has lutu misguided, and like the ill-tated Sysiphus in mythology, who continued to roll the stone np the mountain’s steep declivity, bat ere he reached the summit, down ti came, only to roil it up agaiu. Such, to my min and, is the aetiou of mauy of the farmers of the present day. My counsel is, reverse your engiue, and set sail for more quiet waters. The season is near at hand ‘.o commence prepa ration lor the fall crops—6mall grains. Above all things ot an earthly nature, do not let tue season pass unimproved. Be not led astray by an ignis fatuus, ruuuicg alter the poor worm-eaten cotton; sow graiu in profusion—wheat, oats, rye, barley, etc.— prepare your land well for the reception of the seed, aud tiust in the merciful providence of God for an abundant harvest. It is far easier and less expensive to raise a grain crop, and, every thing considered, quite as remunerative in the end. I will not weary your patience, by going into de tails, and a punctilious showing in figures, but relcr you to the thrifty, well-to-do farmers of the eouutiy, who make cotton secondary—in other words, surplus. Gov. Bmith at Athem, during the recent agricultural meeting, iD eloquent terms advocates this policy. Hon. ii. 11. Hill, in his Ji nteboro speech some time back, in language true, touching, aud inspiring, earnestly entreated the laimers to this course, as is well known The distinguished characters in this end other States, with zeal and eneigy, called upon the husbandly of the c*uutry, to adopt this course. I have ad vocated aud practiced it long, in my humble way, thinking it was best. Each succeeding year dem onstrates to me, clearly, that it is the only line o policy tbit leads to independence, iiow read ly all will agree to the correctness of the propo i li u;. Bat oh, how slow to embrace it! There is but one more subject to which I shat! call your attention at present; aud that is the labor question. I am conscious 'tis ra her a knotty oue, the proper so’ution of which has never been attained. Numbers seem to be satis lied with it in its present and sorgan zed shape. By writ defined carieit of action, we might have had a good, oh—‘lent, laboriug eiass among us— ’it ■ fretdmec. Bat many, lu their eagerness and anxiety to procure a sufflc'eacy <" , f labor, have un w sely and sadiv rverdone the thing What is the at.v.u* ot thelnt or of this secti >n at the preae.it Tim-?

The thing is this: Hire so as you can control their work; pay reason able wages, so th t they can make something; deal honestly but candidly with them Give them every cent that you promise, give it punctually, aud you will get along with them. Above all things, let them know that you boss the job. Such are the reflection* of an humble. Rocky etWl fiMti, FORSYTH, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 7. 1873. To tlie Farmer*. “ Uustieus,” a cii respondent in the Laurens- Tille, 8. C., Herald, gives tome straightforward advice to thj planters of South Carolina. The Factors’ Lien is the curse of every cotton growing Btate. Do away with it; let every planter be his own factor. Join a Grange and let that be factor for all connected with it. The object of the Grange is to untie the farmers from Maine to Texas lor their own protection and ac vaacemeut. Incalcu lable benefit In every direction will accrue Irom sneb nn union. It is rema kable that there has been no such co-operation op to thi3 time. Politician* have succeed in dividing the people upon fueLon&l issue*. Prejudice hag been more poaciful than intereat. Slavery has made the rock upou which the people were sundered, and torn apart. Ttiank God it and buried; and the sooner it is forgotten by all our people, the better if will tie for the country. Another cause operating most prejudicially against Agriculture, ia the deplorable ignorance generally prevalent among those who engage among i. The motion was generally obtained that learning is not necessary to the practical farmer. Famers have educated their sons lor other pursuits, but to educate their boys for their own calling seemed to them a waste’of time and money. Our practice shows how deep-seated our Igno rance has been. There is no pursuit which require* a more thorough training, which taxes more heav ily all the faculties of the mind, which require# ar.d demands a more varied, acurate, and exten sive store of knowledge than the science of Agri culture. If science pays anywhere, it pays a hun dred fold in the field. All other sciences are made to contribute to the perfection of this. And yet farmers have educated their more gifted sons for other jirofessions under the impression that their own noble vocation diJ not furnished a proper field for the exercise of their abilities. The suc cessful management of a faioi is a higher evidence of mental capaci y than the making oi a speech or preaching of a sermon. In view ol these tacts, ia it not a matter of just surprise that farmers are so careless in endevoring to tit themselves, by reading and reflection, for the hippy and successful prosecution of that bus iness upon which God has set his approval *? * # - * * Agriculture will advance more by experiment ing than by theorizing. Every farm is a labratory, and every farmer is an experimenter. He is a very poor observer who is constantly experimenting in the vast and luxuriant field without tindiug out 6ome fact, or stumbling upon some principle that would be of great utility to the community. While no mun can excel in all things, every farmer has a specialty. To illustrate, one cf my neighbors never fails to raise a good sweet pota to crop, another is lucky with tobacco, another ia equally fortunate iu the culture ol the meloD, while another is always successful with the beet and onion. A well organized and efficient Grange can elicit all the varied information of its mem bers, acquired by by long years of patient obser vation, and make it ol immense benefit to the community, The Grange is also a tine social festival. We are trespassing, however, upon the Herald’s space. If we can find time in the midst of the busy cot ton picking season we may say a word or two about “middle men,” Guanos, system of labor, and that curse and abomination of* the cotton growing region, the Factors’ Lien. Meanwhile, let us labor to improve ourselves, protect our in terests as fnr as we can, enrich our fields, beautity our homes, diffuse u spirit of cheerfulness, and conteutmenl throughout our households, help our neighbors, pay our debts, aud Ptpvidence will smile uoon us. ,** How Youno Men Should Drink.— lf young men will drink liquors, wo insist that they should do it gracefully. A great many accomplished bartenders and polite bystanders have their riaa bles excited to a degree dangerous to proper sa loon decorum by the awkward manner in which upstart green ’uns take their grog, to say nothing of the danger from strangulations incident ot starting a horn of brandy down the wrong way. The following is the proper way to do the busi ness. it may come a little awkward at first, but practice will make it ei s y, and the habit of doing the thing gracefully and easily will savo you from a world of ridicule and from many of the evils which crazy temperance people are always charg ing as are sure to follow drinking: Stand np stiaight like a man, your left side !o the bar, take the glass neatly and firmly between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, letting the little linger drop down to near the bottom of the glass in a plane exactly corresponding with the top of the bar, until it is precisely before you. Just then throw the head back a little, push the chin for ward, so as to leave the throat in a full open, easy position. Compress the lips tightly, draw a full breath through the nostrils, and with a graceful curve raise the glass until the rim H within about three inches of the cbio. N ,w is the supreme mo ment. Just here turn your eyes upward, think of your mother, and open your Lauds instead of your mouth!
