Suggestions M PliMitcrs.
As thetime is now at hand wn,.n oar far
mers are preparing for pitching another
crop, we venture t<> make a few suggestions,
with the hope that they may be of a practi
cal use-to the farmer, and of real benefit to
our country,
* * * * * “No.r y e who live
In luxury and ease, in pump ah i pride,
•Think these lost thmt-s unworthy of your
, ' ' ear.” .
First, then, see that you begin right, by
. having your fences .repaired, and put in good
order; have the fence corners cleared of
shrubs, and well raked. The reasons for this
are of course obvious to every one, viz: be
cause the vegetable matter which usually ae-
•eunainlates in fence corners, if taken and com
posted with cotton seed or stable manure,
niakes an excellent "fertillizer to go under
corn or cotton. Another reason is, that by
keeping the fence corners clean, you protect
and preserve your rails from rotting, for a
Ibn gertime, and bv this means there may be
a great saving to the farther, since rail timber
is beginning to be quite an item in some sec
tions of enr country. Another reason is. that
there is less danger of fire when you are burn
ing your log's and trash, if yriur fence corners
ure well Hiked. Anil last, but by nd means
the least, a good ft nee and a clean fence row
gives a much better appearance to your farm,
it is an evidence of thrift and business capaci
ty, and enhances the value of your real estate
at least twenty per cetlt.
Second, have all of your fani'ibg imple
ments in good cu'd' r. A skillful workman
should have good tools. See thntyonr plows
have good points, and that they have the right
set for breaking and preparing your land as it ■
should be done: flee that your plow stocks
ure flinde correctly ahd strong. See that all
your hock have godd handles, and that your ;
hoes have the proper set fordoing good work’ i
Third, break your land thoroughly and 1
deep. Do not plaut more than you can cnl- •
tivate tcell, and at the same time be sure to ;
plant a sufficient area in corn, to make enough
forborne Use ; let it be plentiful, for whenever ;
our country begins to be self sustaining, :
then weare on the high l’OUd to indej endence. ;
Me would also suggest that planters be care- I
' ful about giving liens upon their prospective 1
crops.. Endeavor to keep a good credit with
your factor, but at the same time, manage, if j
you can, so as to be able to control yiiur own ■
crop after it is made, and thereby strengthen
the credit and influence of planters. Not
withstanding the present scarcity of labor,
our country seems now to be in -.pretty good
condition, and why? Because agood quanti
ty of provisions was made last year, and with f
a\ moderate cotton crop, the farmer lias re-!
cc-ived remunerative prices for the staple. |
1’lunt a less area in cotton, and receive higher f
prices ; plant more corn, and be independent,
“So with superior boon may your rich soil, j .
Exuberant, nature's better blessings pour •
G’pr every land, the naked nations clothe.
And bo th’ exhanstless granary of a world."
: mon caliber. He would be willing to preach
the GospcLto his congregation “without mon-
j ey and without price,” provided he should
| receive a respectable Salary as a teacher,
j Nevertheless, he would be willing, from each
member of his chu’cb. at intttrva s to re: eive
a shote, a bushel ot meal, a sack of dour, a
brace of turkeys and Of ducks, a dozen of
chickens, a basket of eggs arid a few “other
things too tedious to mention.”
Sonie of my friends with whom I have been
consulting, try to persuade me to desist from
becoming a teacher. They say that many
souls may be lost for want of my ministerial
services; but I tell them, if people want their
souls saved, they may follow me up and I
will preach to them. If they are too obstinate
to do this, any reasonable man will agree
with me at once that their souls are not worth
saving.
^Perhaps the public may be astonished at
this announ tinent ; but, if they will bear
with me a moment, 1 11 make the matter sim
ple, plain and easy.
The public^ have ^11 heard the text front the
Book "He that preachetu the Orispel should
live of the Gospel.” Well, I agree to this, j :
wish to live of the Gospel: but, any mart of 1
good sense would of course wish to live more
easily and more boutifuily than I have been
living. i
It may be asked, why I wish to assume the ]
“birch t" I will just say, that I have a burning ;
desire for the sairation of as great a num
ber as possible. An J I have frequently heard,
from very wise men, that there is nothing else j
that so effectually prepares the mind of youth,
for the reception of eoelesiuscie teachings as |
the effectual external application of Pedagog
ical disciplin : after this lias be< n fairly ap- !
plied the most,stubborn boys become as quiet
its the tame and ••bears" of Wall street. >

And now to our painful dutv. There is
j scarcely a man in Washington county, who
know not George Mayo. Reared in oui
, midst, he was univi’i’sully beloved. Frofli
• early boyhood he displayed those abide traits
! of character which tttut'k the cwmitig matt.
I These characteristic's grew with his growth
into manhood, and ever tiiarked his deport-
’ merit with his fellows. Entering the Cory-
| federate array a boy ill years, he bore the part
! of a man. Was a stranger to fear of aught
save his God abd dishoiior. and served his
i country with distinction tii tire hour when
the ve.erans of tile gallant did 28tli laid down
their arms. But our purpose is not to write
a eulogy or a sketch of his iite, but simply to
i state a few facts that others may understand

' men, and why his sad on 1 is so deeply de- |

of their purity, and entailing woe and mis, ry
upon an unborn world ? Irian evil hour he 1
fell, crushing in his descent his dearest :
friend. Who can fathom the agoiiy endured
after the fatal step had been taken? And
finally, when death or dishonor, expdsurer to
the noble woman whom he had so fondly |
hoped soon to call by the endearing name of ,
wife, stared him in the tace, he chose rather
to meet his God than to bear the' scoff's of an ;
unforgiving world. Knowing the pure heart
of his betrothed, he felt that she too would
condemn, discar 1 him. In short, that every
hope for future happiness in this world was
forever blasted, and life no longer worth the 1

Letter from Florida.
C'ABitiGE Blvf-, Fla., Jan. 15, 1H7J.
Elilors Ilrrald:—I promised to write you a
letter from the "land of flowers,” and shall
comply in a spirit as rambling as my travels
have been. I have been in Florida six weeks
and visite 1 nearly all the principal points of
interest to the health-arid pleasure seeker,
in the eastern part of the State; but I will
try to spare your numerous and intelligent
readers details which cun be found in any of
the guide books. Did a rrtroelhcs srribemii
•seize me, e: g.. I could devote six chapters to
St: Augustine by v.ay of introduction; and
indeed this most- ancient and respectable
city deserves more tiian a passing- notice.
It is reached by horse railway from Toeoi, a
landing 40 miles above Jacksonville, on the
St. John's river; This railway ..facetiously
so-called) is duly 15 miles long and is the
roughest concern I ever rode over; yet the
"authorities' consider it second only to the
Penn. Central. It may be a good tiling to
get sick now and then, in onleri to appre
ciate health afterward, as it may be to take
a trip over this road in order to appreciate
the laws of gravity. The “train " like the
earth, has two motions, one forward slowly
by degrees, the other up
lightning, while the poor, i
st-nger is the victim of more
jig-daneer. Socrates called himself
zi n oi the whole world." Here

The writer spent a portion of last week at, the

save that the Opera House don't look a bit
like a State House.' The Legislature is com
posed almost entirely of whit ■ men—earnest,
honest, representatives of the people—con
scious of tlieir duty, and striving faithfully
to discharge the same. A few darkies sit up
in one corner, looking out of place and no
doubt feeling very much so.
The door of the House we found safely
guarded by our fric-n-l and neighbor, (.'apt.
B. H. Miller, of Hancock. Benton makes a
good door keeper, deserves the position and
we fec-l jnst like thanking the House for

we find it in the hands of another of Georgia's .
old time servants, to-wit: Col. John -Jones;
his Clerk being none other than one of our
dearest boyhood friends, Col. Miller Grieve; j
jr., of Milledgeville.
In the Comptroller's office we find Col. IV. |
L. Goldsmith and Gapt. J. \Y. Renfroe. Two
faithful and thoroughly competent gentle- ,
men, well adapted to the position, Pending I
the late election finding that combination
was the order of the day, these two congeni- :
al spirits united their forces and cast lots as !
to whose name should be run. The lot fell;
to Col. Goldsmith. They were elected by a i
handsome majority. and now Occupy the of- ;

and labor.

it: a few days would be at Fenii’s Bridge.

The Survey will stop for the present at

meeting there will be an effort made to raise
a fund to have a line surveyed from the
Goodrich I!, ii.. via Gibson, to -Snndersville.

Mr. Goodrich has a very liberal promise
from the Ga. R. lb, after both lines are sur

the “Starlight” of the other line, which jus
tice compels 'me to say. makes the fastest
time between Jacksonville and Enterprise,
there being no delay or transfer nt Palatka
as with the Brock line. This makes her a
favorite boat fur up-river travel, while her
average speed is equal to the best, and “tablu
comforts” not to be excelled by any competi
tor. I intend to travel on her some more,
and would recommend your leaders to give
her a trial by all means.
The people of Fla. are beginning to be
reconciled to the election of Hart for Gov.
and think . he wiil pursue a commendable
conservative p liey. The Jacksonvillians
foster hopes that the Capital will be moved
to their City, because Hurt lives there and is
an extensive “free-holder.”
These few lines, Mr. Editor, leaves me
at the village 'bearing the romantic and
classic mime of Cabbage Bluff, which is 150
miles above Jacksonville, on the bank of j
the river. This “village" consists of a soli-|
tary Cabin in the Wilderness. But uiv time !
and your patience is already exhausted.

Illegal Postage.—The 'journal of
Commerce is showing that notwith
standing the recent decision of the
Post Office Committee agaiaust the
Postmaster, lie and his subordinates
continue to exact double and unpaid
rates on all letters paid only in part.
The Journal has suit, pending
against the Postmaster to recover
postage thus illegally imposed. The
editor say:
“If every oiie to v.hom such a let
ter is tendered should refuse to pay
the overcharge and bring suit at once
for the detention of the letter, there
would be a nice array of cases upon
which damages could ultimately be
collected. But what an example of
disregard of law this is, and who can
wonder at the progress of crime, when
the officers of the Government pay
no more respect to legal require
ments!”

The heaviest com crop ever "Town
in the United States was that of last
A'ear, Avhich the Agricultural Report
states at the hii<je total of 1,100,000,-
000 bushels. Not only is this, the
largest crop, but it is said to be com
of better quality and of greater in
trinsic A'alue than usual. Iowa was
the banner corn-growing State; her
average being nearly forty-one bnsl>-
els an acre. Unfortunately for some
of tliosg who would like to have the
Iowa com, it takes the price of four
bushels of said com to get one bushel
to the Atlantic markets. This is one
of the reasons why some people are
demanding cheaper transportation*
between the West and the East.
