Terrell Professorship! of Agriculture.

Athens, Sept., 1854, j
At the recent session of the Board of
Trustees of the University of Georgia, the
following communication was received from
Dr. William Terrell, of Hancock
county:
THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.
Sparta, July 27, 1854.
To the Honorable,
Tie Trustees of the University of Georgia
Gentlemen :—From such observations
■6 I have had an opportunity to mat e on
the condition of the people in different
. parts of the world I am quite satisfied that
there are none who are so abundantly
supplied with all the necessaries and com
forts of life as our own; and that there
as no forms of government so suitable to
ihe intellectual development of a people
as the resources of a county as that of the
United States.
To give perpetuity to the compact of
these confederated States the principles
of which have thrown so much light on
the social and political relations of man
and aided so much in the advancement
of civilization and the means of individual
andjjnational prosperity is surely the duty
of every patriot. Education is doing
)nnch*for this great object'in every depart
ment of knowledge except in agriculture
and in this the most important of all, the
United States are far behind most of the
States of Europe ; and the Southern with
the“advantage of soil and climate much
more so than the Eastern and Northern.
The best form of Government for a country
where a system of agriculture prevails
that is constantly tending to impoverish
the soil cannot long sustain a thrifty
population or be able to defend itself.
To avoid such a calamity which there is
reason to fear will be ours at no very
distant day the people of the Southern
States mustjjfind the means of preserving
their lands from destruction by bad tillage
which is so strikingly observable in every
part of the country.
To aid in this great enterprise if you
Will allow me to call it such I propose to
your honorable body to give to Franklin
College, Bonds of the State, to the amount
of twenty thousand dollars, the annual in
terest of which shall be applied perma
nently as compensation for a Professor
whose duty it shall be to deliver in the
College a course of Lectures during its
terms on “ Agriculture as a Science : the
practice and improvement of different
people ; on Chemestry and Geology so
far as they may be useful in Agriculture,
on Manure Analysis of Soils and on Do
mestic Economy particularly referring to
the Southern States;” the Lectures to be
free.
If this proposition is acceptable to you
I shall ask the privilege of recommending
to your consideration for the appoint nent
of the first Professor Dr. Daniel Lee
who has spent twenty years of his life in
the study and practice of Agriculture
and who will bring to its duties all his skill
and a zeal that ought to ensure success.
With considerations of the highest respect,
I am your obedient servant
Wm. Terrell.

We have visited the room of Mr.

much pleased with the specimens of his

The papers very generally are dis
cussing the propriety of a repeal of the
usury laws. It seems that England has
taken the initiate in this reform. It is a
grave and difficult question for solution.
W e were present at the discussiou of the
subject a few eveniugs since at the San-,
dersville Lyceum. The subject took a
wide range. The speakers were not gen
erally disposed to give each other credit
for understanding the subject. Each stri
king out into a track of his own and
though the views general!} 7 presented were
in themselves interesting; it struck us that
they were not remarkable for sticking to
the point. We have witnessed the same
thing however in bodies of much greater
pretensions, and have been left full a
much in the dark after a patient listenin,
to a discussion in higher quarters.
Russia and America, that diplomacy Would
long ago have adjusted them but for the
same fell spirit of aggrandizement. And
so of France and England. Either of
whom would fight us to-morrow if it should
be their interest to do so,
Let us then avoid this Maelstrom into
which the nations of the old world are hur
ling themselves. Deal with all in a spirit
of the utmost justice and refrain as a peo
ple and as individuals from the expression
of too great a sympathy with either party.
These things create wounds that do not so
easily heal up that, will be remembered at
another time. Nation by nation is filing
off into the grand melee, and more yet are
to be added before blood enough shall flow
to quench the rage of dominion. England
s the world’s banker. Her vast wealth is
equal only to her pride and lust of power.
Russia is great in resources and mighty in
natural defences. France powerful, and
her chief passion the glory of conquest
Austria is forced in without the power to
resist. Prussia cannot much longer re
frain. And it is well for us that three
thousands miles of ocean seperate us from
the field of contest. Well for us, that our
true interest in every point of view lies in
the arts of peace rather than those of war.
Let us then we repeat, be just and neutral
in the strictest sense of the word; lest our
country be involved in blood; and the
shadow upon the^di:d of sience and morals
go back ten degrees, and the sun of pro
gress be darkened by the clouds pf war,

tSalc of Agricultural Products by Weight,
At a late meeting of the New York Far
mers’ Clnb, our , ex-editorial friend, Solon
Robinson, made some interesting and for
cible remarks on“the practice of selling the
products of the garden, &c., by meas
ure—the method now in vogue—which he
condemned as absurd and dishonest. Po
tatoes ought to be sold by weight, and not
by the measure. '■No good reason could be
given for selling eggs by the dozen. Wood
—and, in fact, every article grown or man
ufactured on the farm—should, in justice
to the purchaser, be sold by the pound.—
Ho illustrated his"views by reminding his
hearers that in England it was quite com
mon to sell butter by the quart and even
by the yard.
Professor Mapes followed, and acquiesced
entirely in the remarks of the former spea
ker. Honesty, common sense, but, above
all, justice to the poorer class, demand
reform in the present ridiculous manner
of selling products of the farm, and other
commodities.
Rev. Mr. Carter thought that the citi
zens of New York were suffering greatly
from the want of a system regulating the
sale of almost every aricle by weight. He
enumerated many instances of wrong per
petrated by speculators under cover of the
system now in vogue.
Others of the Club expressed similar
views, in which we also fully concur.

yoke of oxen. In his dairy he makes
butter only. The average yield per year
of butter from each cow is 150 lbs.—
Two liune ‘dasher churns are set in motion
by two horse powers and the butter is
worked by the old fashioned paddle.
Ilis stock of cattle consume about 500 tons
of hay annually. 50,000 lbs. of pork ;
500 bushels of wheat; from 400 to 500
bushels of corn; 1,000 bushels of oats,
and from 1,000 to 2,000 bushels of pota

TJie United States, her True Position and
Duty.
Of all nations, we have less to gain, and
more to lose by war. Of all, we are tho
last that should engage in war, except for
defence. While in many points we pre
sent an unusual vigor and strength, wc are
yet, of all, in others most vulnerable. We
suould not, relyiug upon our prowess, mis-j of the merchant and statesman,
calculate our true strength or underate our
rivals. W e have thousands of miles of sea-
coast defended mo.stly by indefensible forts,
that a few war vessels would silence direct
ly. The naval force at Sebastopol would
long ago have captured New York and
Boston if they' depended alone upon the
strength of forts for defence from naval at
tack. The sails of our commerce whiten
every sea, and in proportion as it is vast, is
our limited navy incompetent to its ade
quate protection. There are no reasons
why we should involve ourselves to extend
our borders. Peace is more likely to wi
den than to contract our already wide ex
tended domain. We need but time to
grow. The influence of our peace and
prosperity is more likely, like the attraction
of the larger, to the smaller, body left free
to move, to draw other nations and smal
ler communities to us than war and milita
ry prowess. The war spirit would but re
pel them, whilst the cultivation of the arts
of peace, a flourishing commerce, a wealthy
and nappy citizenship would, ere long at
tract whole communities as the same things
in less measure have thousands of individ
uals heretofore. A vast expansion from
causes like these will possess its dangers,
but when they shall result as the acquisi
tions of war the danger becomes much
greater. The jealousy of other nations will
be aroused and a combination, as against
Russia, will be the natural consequence
Our outside defences being much inferior
in number and character to hers we should
of course suffer more iu the same time
than she has done. Though unlike "her,
our strength would not diminish in propor
tion to the disaster. The government so
deeply seated in the affections of the peo
ple, would find herself backed as by one
tqan, and she would arise “like Anteus
vigorous from every fall,” increasing disas
ter arousing but greatly increased energies
and capacities. But at what a cost] It
is beyond the power of the most accute
liiathematition to calculate it, or the most
profound forecast to foresee the ultimate
consequences. IV ar is not the vocation of
America. Or rather we might say it is
not her mission in the earth. She has
other, higher, nobler, triumphs in view
than those in war. Out people are brave
beyoud question, and they are ready, not
only to vote “millions for defence,” but
to shed rivers of blood for the same pur
pose. Yet they have not the aggressive,
war spirit of the nations of the old world,
of England, France, and Russia, in par
ticular. Those aie old warriors, stained
with the blood of centuries. The war
-pirit is only re-aroused from a momentary
sleep, and if Russia had not caught the
blow it would have fallen upon us so assur
edly as that war has been the source of
Englands greatness and the life of her com
merce, strange paradox as it may seem.

The Obvious Duty and Interest of the Far
mer.
The time is at hand for farmers to plan
out for the next year’s crop. By a sound
and well judged forecast, united to indus
try, are the successes of men in every bus
iness of life determined. Especially is
this true of the farmer, upon whom it de
volves not only to industriously till his
lands, but wisely to plan the amount of
lands he will cultivate, so as not to over
burden his force and judiciously determine
the quantity of each several crop. In or
der to do this correctly he must look to the
state of tho markets at home and abroad,
demand and supply, the circumstances and
laws which influence and govern trade, the
causes which depress, as well as those
which raise, the markets, for those pro
ducts which he proposes to cultivate. To
do this successfully it is not necessary that
he should be deeply versed in political
economy, iu banking, or those intricate
laws of trade, which arc the proper study
But if
he takes the papers, (and what intelligent
farmer does not) he must possess some
knowledge of the condition of things in
the world at large. Or if he does not
take the papers, the merchant that bought
his cotton or the factor that sold it for him,
has informed him in a way not to be mis
taken of the reduced price of this impor
tant article. lie should endeavor to make
himself acquainted with the causes of this
depression and to consider the probability
of their continuance. If in the survey be
should come to the conclusion that these
are likely to continue for an indefinite pe
riod, it would seem to be the suggestion of
prudence to lessen the quantity of that crop,
and increase the one in good demand and
likely to continue so, for a period at least.
We can picture to ourselves a careful cal
culating farmer sitting down and suming
up the body of evidence on the important
subject at issue, about thus. The condi
tion of England is such in the commercial
world that whatever shall seriously affect
or embarrass her, must to a certain extent
embarrass all who are to any degree con
nected with her in the operations of com
merce. If her energies are directed to
carrying on a great and costly war, with a
powerful enemy, if the miud of her people
is directed to it, if the sails of her commerce
are likely to suffer from the buzzards of
war; then, while this state of things con
tinues, she cannot in the nature of things,
be the customer she has been. And on the
other hand if England draws from her ru
ral population, the bread producing popu
lation, 100,'GOO lUftlUiuuili tiuupn, Fitttroc
300,000, Germany 300,000, Russia 600,-
000, Turkey 400,000 and Prussia and oth
er smaller states 300,000 more (if not to
enter the arena of war they must be drawn
out for observation and protection) we shall
have 2,000,000 of the inhabitants of
Europe marshalled in the field most of
whom are corn and wheat growers, or man
ufactors and artisans. What, under a state
of things like this, is likely to result in a
commercial point of view. Why, unques
tionably, that cotton must go down and
breadstuff's go up. And if these are cor
rect premises the conclusion is inevitable.
But, the world must be clothed, yes (and
a necessity which stands first) must be fed
too. Men have fought, and well too, bare
foot and well nigh naked, but the pabulum
of life must be supplied. A necessity
which knows no law but compliance.
\\ here then is to come the supply to fill
the vast vacuum made by this unpreceden
ted drain upon that class which have here
tofore supplied it ? Where but from
America ? But is it at all likely that such
vast armies are to be in the field ? May
not peace spread her wings over the com
batants and sooth to silence the thunder of
their cannon ? Look at history. What
are her teachings ? Does she teach, that
causes long working, which have at length
laxjand subside into peace. Where is the
example ? Our own war of the revolution
continued seven years and how insignifi
cant in point of numbers and means en
gaged, in comparison with the present war
in Europe. Our last war continued near
ly four years. Our war with weak defense
less Mexico two years, in which our troops
met with a Series of brilliant successes un
paralleled in histqry. Scarcely a year has
passed since the commencement of the war
in Europe and the allies have not passed the
out posts of the defences of Russia. Hpw
long has it it been since the thirty year’s
war in Germany ? How long did the wars
of Napoleon last ? Are not the passions of
man the same now as then, the same pride,
the same ambition, the same lust of power,
the same desire of conquest ? When did
England make an inglorious peace ? Has
she not been accustomed to success ?■
When did Russia make a peace that cur
tailed her boundaries ? Have not her wars
always resulted in the acquisition of terri
tory ? The answer to these questions
brings us to the almost certain conclusion
that the war will not only be a great one
as to the outlay of men and means, but a
long one. And if so, the duty as well as,
the interest of our farmers and planters at
large is a plain one. And if other indica
tions were necessary as pointing with un
erring certainty to this as the right conclu
sion, the present high price of flour, corn,
bacon, and pork at the season when they
are usually abundant, would seem to be
sufficient. Take for example Atlanta in the
midst of the corn and wheat growing coun
try of Georgia. Corn is quoted at 90 @ 100
per bushel, Flour 4,50 per hundred, pork
6$ to 7 cts, bacon round 11 cts. Is it not
likely that large drafts will be made from
Europe for these articles ? And if so, be a
greatly diminished supply for the cotton
growing region ? What then is the part
of wisdom of the cotton planters ? Lay
down another field in oats ; it . is not too
late. Plant an additional one in corn
which will be two less in cotton. Mark
the signs of the times. The day comes,
though perhaps not near, when to plant
largely of cottou will reward you well.

severe on important demagogues, agrarians,
red republicans and others, and opposes
the easy way to naturalization. He holds
that foreigners ought to enjoy all the bles
sings of the country, but that the nation
should continue to administer the laws ac
cording to its own jndgement. He reccm-
mends an amendate of the constitution of

ter naturalization, and not to be extended
then unless the alien can read and write
the English language. In regard to the
present depressed condition of the coun
try, he says that our remedy is not so much
in legislative enactment and tariffs, as in
cultivating a feeling of patriotic nationali
ty and a united determination to encourage
the skill and industry of the American la
borer by consuming home products of the
shop, factoiy and field, in preference to im
ported fabrics and foreign productions.

Commerce asserts thet the hair used in

calculated to keep a room unhealthy for

“Hair used for mixing in mortar should
be thoroughly washed—re-washed and
dried and' thus deprived of the putrid
matter that often adheres to it. The lime
in mortar is not sufficient to cleanse the
hair. It will generate an Unpleasent sickly
effluvia whenever the room is heated until
after a long time the mortar is converted
into nitrate of lime or so much of it as

to break up the compromise which devoted
kivlf <y£ ibo yourly iuoouio to tlio library,
and museum, and the other half to pub
lication &c. Mr. Choate made a masterly
and lucid argument to show that the act
of Congress required that the library and
collections of natural curiosities should
be the principal objects of the Institution
and that it would violate the law to abro
gate the compromise to favor publication
in opposition to the library. The Regents
who voted to sustain the compromise were
Messrs. Choate Douglas Meacbam English

the oldest members of the board who
probably felt committed to that course by
their previous action.
