The insignificant cotton woim, thaf Individually can be crashed by th* weight of one’s finger, is now causing us to tremble with apprehension lest lie e mploy his nameiical strength to lay waste oar fields, and blast our brightest prospects of golden jreturn^ . Cannot we learn a simple lesson of wisdom by reading a page from Na ture’s open book? . We have the elements of wealth un told, would wc properly utilize them, We have strength which if judiciously applied, would make us a power in- the hind, to be respected and appreci-* a ted through all the ramifications of society. What we need for Ihedcvelopcment of our resources, arc wise concert of action, and intelligent combination f)r mutual protection and mutual profit Now, this ideal phantom wh>cb has so Tong pervaded the minds of multi tude^. finds an embodiment electrified b herculean strength,in the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry; thtf off spring of necessity, an infant in age, yet a giant hi influence and power. The oldect of this Association is to elevate the planter socially, intellectu ally and financially. The planter, by education and hab it, is dissocial—his daily routine of bu siness demands his personal supervis ion of his laborers, and the diutcrnal Aiingeincpt of his farm. \yiicn the (lay closes, he seeks iu sleep repose from its labors. From long habit and the tutelage yfhis falliers, ho is firmly impressed with the conviction that bis method conducting his business is; superior that ofany^of fils ueigbMrs. lie feels not the necessity for assist- icc. and consequently ..docs not seek it. This routine of business coutin- Irom week to week, nnd from year »*ar; anil the tendency of his oc cupation is »o contract his habits of thought, and to a mistaken ferliug of independence, which tends to isolation and disregard of those agencies aris ing from attrition ot ideas that leads to progress and reform. nt tho monthly reunions of the members of a Grange, they arc brought into friendly association.— The bonds of fraternity, which unites as with bands of iron, and the application of which is “us gentle as a silken thread that binds a wreath of dowers,” infuses a spirit of mutuol friendship and sympathy, iu all that crus the welfare of one another. ;y of sentiment and unity of inter- uspire unity of action and mutu- ontidence. The elevated code of morals recognized in our government, tends to soften the asperities of our natural instincts, to cultivate sentiments of benevolence and charity towards all men, and to impress us with a sense of our mutual dependence and obligations, to extend no another our sympathy and na nce, in times of sickness nnd nd- ity, and our congratulations it ons of prosperity and joy. Wi arc also taught tluit ns cultivators of the earth, while we reap the golden harvest that springs from her ever willing and bounteous ubsoni, we sbciiid ever cultivate those cool ncious •aternity, amity and faith that spring from the tree of Truth, and that will bear for us fruits of joy and peace in tiie l'aradise above. 'I he intellectual aspects of our Or der-presents to our notice considera tion® of no unworthy importance.— You will observe that every subject which can improve tho condition of the Patrons s is brought up for discuss ion. It is the duty of the Lecturer to gather food for mental study and re flection upon all subjects connected with the art and science of agricul ture: to collect information relating to tne henificent operations and pi og ress of the Order; and invite a desire for inquiry and mental improvement 'among the membership. The spirit of amity aud friendship inculcated and nnd practiced, induces them to pre- seal their views freely nml unreserv edly. without incurring the risk of har-h criticism. Reciprocal confi dence inspires the unrestrained attri tion of ideas nnd elicits truth. lit re there is a continued “Incite nient to mental cultivation and prog re«?‘. and the Grange is converted into a school of agriculture and education. It ha* been urged as an objection to our Order, that the accumulation of imt ii use capital and influence will be likely to attract political harpies ami financial tricksters, who would endeav or t-> prevent the legitimate aims of the Association, and use it asau agent for theii individual uggraadizetueut, and for unworthy object*. Hut aside Irom the safeguard vouchsaved iu the terms of admittance to membership imposed by the Constitution, requiring the actual cultivation af the soil as la bor r or controller ol’ tenants; the con- sevv.vtism which has always character ized the planter ns a class, will prove powerfully antagonistic against the scht-mc-s of theao subtle intriguers. The simple habits of the farmer, and his constant and daily practice of hab its t.f integrity, stimulated by the nec essities ot hi«‘vocatiou, will irnpcll on his .'art a scrutiny of the actions of the wily money-changer, and induce cau tion and circumspection in reposing confidence in these who are of doubt ful voracity and integiit}. Moreover, we have the advantage of all other s social ions and combinations of men, the magic influence 01 woman. Her purit7 of thought and life, her innate sen-e of justice, and her uatural pres cience in reading human chariieter, and intuitively arriving at true and jus*, conclusions, appa randy without any intermediate steps of mental effort render her a powerful helpmeet in this union for mutual protection and ad\ incement. J*hc is an integral por tion of the organisation, and not a ie silent spectator of passing fcveuts and her influence i« fowgood and con servatism. The financial benefits nrrUing from co-operation among planter*, will prob ably be regarded by many as the ben efit par excellence. The iron mongers, the manufacturers, and the merchants demand a definite price for their wares and tne Railroads a voluntary tariff upr a the transportation of posscngi rs and frieght, and they make such com binations as enable them to enforce Uier demands. The planter upon whom all these various corporations and companies arc dependent far their exbUnce, is not allowed to put a price upon his cotton, but meekly takes what u o fie fed fifth. All of the articles consumed upon his fanu pass thiougU several intermedi ate agencies after leaving (he .manu facturer before they reach him.

' D, the immense patronage which . Hrolled by the Patrons, fuablcs them to ’negotiate transactions with dealers in groceries, and manufactu rers ot mechanical ~ implements v wag ons, &<l, at the lowest possible prises at which such products and articles of manufacture can be sold. Indeed a deduction of 15 to 25 per cent, from or dinary rates, has been offered to the Patrons. ' 1 - " ' Not an insignificant item in the sav ing of expenses in the great reduction in rates of traofcportation of frieght made by our Railroads in favor of om Order. Iu some instances it is said to amount to 50 per cent, below the ordinary rates. Now after a hasty review of some of the advantages offered by our order, al low me to ask if any other Society so- cret or otherwise, has ever accomplish ed, for the berefit of the farmer, onc- half as much as the Patrons are now doing even in their infancy? We can not see anythin'* really objcctienal iu its aims of working, but everything to commend. The order is a necessity, without which our decent to the low est depths of poverty and ruinous dis integrations, is inveitablc. This is ah age of gigantic schemes of moral cor ruption that threatens to subvert the whole order of society, and make ship wreck ot our liberties. The moral force of tho yeomanry o! the land, of the plain, honest farmers united by bands of fraternity, is need ed to neutralize the effects of these im mense corporations that employ mil lions ot treasure in purchasing the con- fecitnces of Legislators for the purpose of carrying on the nefarous schemes of plunder and robbery; and often at the expense of the agricultural inter ests. And, wc may ask, what position does the farmer occupy iu the legislu- tiou of the country?—With what cold indifference is any scheme considered for the development of the agricultural interest of the States, aud for the pro motion of the cause of agricultural ed ucation. Now wo wish our interest represented by men who have the abil ity aud the tnoraj courage to maintain the cause of agricultural progress, and press its claims of irresistablc torce. It is not our desire or purpose to in terfere and affect injuriously the inter ests of any legitimate corporation, company or individual, hut, we con ceive it to be our duty, privilege and ability to employ our resources fertile promotion of our own interests in any fair, honest and practicable way. Aud now, farmers of Southwestern Georgia ard throughout the laud, we invite you to come nnd enlist under thc^mn- ner of progress and reform. Join tho uoble array of Patrons, and employ your moral, intellectual and material force, for overcoming the harries which interpose vour march for deliverance from the dangers which threaten your financial ruin. Stimulated by a conviction of the justice of j'our cause, impelled by the irresistable powetjof truth, and eucour- aged by the glorious success which has thus far tramped upon all obstacles that interspose your progress, your march will be onward and upward, conquei ing aud to conquer, and gener ations yet unboru will rise up aud call you blessed.

Denominational Oxen.-*-A gcu- tlcninn traveling in Texas, fuel on the road a wagon drawn by. four oxen, and driven by a conntryman, who, in ad dition to the skillful flourishing and cracking-of the whip, wan vociferous ly encouraging the horned horses af ter this fashion: “Ilaw Presbyterian! Get up Methodist! The traveler stop ped the driver, remarking to him that lie had strange names for Ids oxen, acd he would like to know why lie thus called them. “Well,” said tire driver, “I call this n x Presbyterian, because he’s Iruo as blur, and never fails; pulls through dillicullies, and holds up to the end. I call, this one Baptist because he’s always after wn« ter, and seems as if ho s would never drink enough; thru again lie won’t cat with others. I call this Episcopa lian because he has a mighty way of holding his brad up, and it tho yoke- gets tight, he tries to ge*t clear out ot the trace. I call this ox Methodist be cause he puffs and blows aw In goes along, and you’d think lie’s pulling all creation, but he don’t pull a single pound unless you continually stir him up. COL- «T. ISCAHIOT, AXD WlIKUE IIk Made His Mistake.—In appropriat ing $5,000 to the in stive* from treasu ry, our Congressmen did not enlarge the prerogatives of the people’s repre sentatives. They might have taken more than they did. They might have taken Washington’s old breechi from the Patent Office. They might have taken the Washington Monu : ment—but they didn't. Some people will continue to complaiu of them, but we are mute from this moment. Wc apologize to the whole human race, for everything. As a rash and blind ed Sunday school scholar, we may have spoken disrespectfully of J. Isca riot. The experience of the last six months show that Mr. Iscariot may have been a gentleman who was much misunderstood by the people of the period. Some scribe may have placed thirty pierce of sliver when; he thought they would do the mo*t good, and w hen poor Judas found that he had bought into a law suit (Hon. 1*. Pilate, Chief Justice), he weut and bunghitn- seit. That was where he made a mis take. He ought to have sent the money down to the Capcrnacum Fe male Seminary, and then appealed to the generous confidence of a conitittf- ency with whose feelings and interests every throb of the heart beat in uni- son. The editor of the GaLkmn T> l- jrmn would have made a very- nice thing of that, and the Honorable J. Iscariot would have been one of the most promising candidates at the next election.—Columbus JounutL A good story, says the Advertiser, b told of a Montgomery man who, hay- in sat un the greater pari of the night before, fell sound asleep in his pew at church; the next racrulng.

I Korn to the conclusion lately, that life waa ao onsartm, that the only wa fur me tew stand a fidr chance a» oth er folks, was to git my life insured, and so I called on the JLgent of the “Gar den Angel Lite Insurance Co., n and answered the following questions which wuz put to me over the top of a pair of gold specks, by a slick little fat old feller, with a Utile round gray head, and ax pretty a little belly ou him as aany man ever owned; QUESTIONS. 1. —Arc you mail or fcioail?

After answering the above question* like a man in a confirinntif, the slik, little fat old Teller, with gold specks ou, ced I was insured fur life, and proba bly would remain so fur a turns ov :ars, I thanked him and smiled otic : my most pensive smiles. The Blue and the Gray. At a recent receptiou iu Charleston iu honor of General John Ji. Gordon, that gallant soldier and hero gave ut terance to the following sentiment. It was in reply to toast in honor of him self. “Agaiu thanking you, ladies and gentlemen, for tbo great honor you have done me, I offer in conclusion, n sentiment which I think accords with the spirit of the occasiou, and which, I am sure, both our host and ourselves will appreciate. I regret that 1 can not make the toast more universal in its scope; but I should expect my glass to fall from my grasp if I dishonored the dead of both armies by askiug you to iionor those who havr sought since the war to excite a bitterness to which they in life were strangers. l|offeryou “The heroic dead of both armies, who fought for principle and backed their conviction width their lives.’ Let both be duly honcrcd. The Missouri editors at their late convention, formally resolved that a man has the same right to walk into n rocery store and order a barrel of su gar or a sack of coffee, or into a law office aud demand legal opinion from its occupants or into an undertakers and request a coffin, without expect ing to pay for their respective wares or services, as into a newspaper office and demand the use of iu bruins and -muscles and typo, without a thought ** recompense.

Expanding the Chest.—Dr. Dio icwis writes; Take a strong rope,and fasten it to a beam overhead; to the lower cud of the rope attach a stick threo feet loug, convenient to grasp with the hands. The rope should be fasteued to the ceuter of the stick which should hang six or eight inches above the head. Let a person grasp this stick with the bauds two or three feet apart, and swing very moderately at first—perhaps only bear the weight if very weak—and giadually increase, as the muscles gain strength from the exercise,, until U may be used from three to five times daily.
