FA EM WOEK FOE SEPTEMBER.
Cotton-picking is the regular plantation
work for the moo lb. It should be gather
ed a; fast as it npeny for -this is the way to
secure it in good condition. ‘lf it stands,’
Dr. Cloud jMstly remarks, ‘many days af
ter opening in the boll, exposed to the dews
of night, and the bright shining of our
Autumnal days, it undergoes a bleaching
procesa, which imparts to the staple a dead
white color, with a crisp liarsh touch, and
destroys its peculiar native op creamy hue,
Avoid collecting with it leaf and trash of
all kinds. Every lock of lint should be
saved now, as the ‘great staple’ must be
scarce and dear for a long time to come ;
and it should bo the ambition of all plan
ters to send their crop* to market in the
best possible condition. Do not he hum
buggod with ‘cotton pickers,' hut proas ev
ery hand on tlio ptantion into the work
and save your cotton for the present in the
good old way, and spend what money you
can spare in better plows, sweeps, gins,
and other labor-saving plantations imple
ments and machinery, that you know will
benefit you.
To quote agaip from Dr. Cloud, ‘hands
should not bo allowed to pull tbo bolls from
tho liiubsTn picking—while if retards the
picking it is quite an injury to tho grow
ing stalk during the mouth of September.
The productiveness of the cotton plant is
frequently injured by early picking by tho
carelessness of hands in bending over it
snd pressing . tho limb* together by
which they aro broken and otherwise
mangled; these injuries are irreparable
by tbo plant thus late in the season and tho
consequent loss is Ifequently considerable.’
Makayour bah* all squirt aid uniform
nnd keep tins qualities of cotton seperatc.
Dealers And Manufactures all require bales
of Uniform ’quality, and the pried of mix
od cotton is generally as low as the poor
eit coltou put in ihebafb. Choiee and val
nuble ,varieties of cotfon seed must bo se
lected and carefully snttfd, so that wo may
be toady logo on successfully in tho cub
lure of this indiapcusablo crop hereafter,
jsel all who have superior cotton seed, eith
er Son Island or Upland, advertise it wide
ly, in lime for tho rext crop,
Sorghum and Imphee, should bo cut,
ground and made up into good thick sy
rup, as fast as the enrio matures. Too
muck care oannot bo taken with tho filtra
tion of iho juico nnd clarification of the
syrup, if you desire a good merchantable
article. The blatleiof Sorghum must, of
course, be saved for fodder, and the seed
preserved for stock-feed tog.
Cow Peas must bo gathered and stored
away in a dry place—giving particular at
tention to the saving of choice*orts for the
next year’s seed, l’ea vino hay should al
so be made, and stacked away, as hereto
fore directed. Cpjr» iu the drill, Millet and
other summer forage crops, may now he
cut, cured and preserved for foturo use.
Grass, such as ‘Crowfoot.,’ 'Crab,’ (or
‘Crop,’) etc, must tie out when in full
bloom, and cured with as little t.xposuro to
the sun as poosible. ’{’ho old negro slyle,
of wsiting 'till ‘first frost,’ and the pulling
tip a lot of dead, dry, espies* grass, and
calling that ‘hay/ roust he slopped. It U
not in accordance with tho 'progress of the
age.’
The corn and forago crops will bo so
short in all tbc States east of Mississ’ppl
that every provision possible should bo
made for economising them.
Turnips prove roost valuable for feeding
stock of all kinds. Milch odws, sheep,
(and it is said horses, if fed in moderate
quantities with other food,) all thrive upon
them. Boiled and the slop thickened
while hot with corn meal they are
excellent for swino. Sow this crop during
this month, at all favorable seasons, aud it
will be advisable to put in a large crop
for stock feeding in winter. It is, general
ly, best to sow just before a vain, or when
the ground is dry, working the ground
thoroughly aud not sowing until it has
been allowed to dry, fur if sowed ia soil
just moist enough to sprout the seed the
sun often killa it, hut in perfectly, dry
grouud the seed will keep without-cprout
ing until it rains—covering the seed light
ly and pressing it with a roller or
plauk. Wo almost .invariably sow too
inuoh sood, and cover too deep; hut when
ever, from any cause, we fail to get a good
and satisfactory Stand, ’ the seedsman (or
vender of seed) has to ‘suffer.’ It is uot
necessary to drop a continuous line of tur
nip md in the drill, especially when the
more valuable varieties are rare and did]
cult to procure. Two or three seeds, drop
ped every (4) inches iu the drill, will give
you a good ‘stand,’ and save a great deal
us seed and thinning onl.
for wjnter pasture, must be town
verylargely, thg middle or last of this
month. Wou cannot make:the ground too
deep or rich ; and the same may he said
even more forcibly of Barley , which on
strong, rich skills, is superior to rye. Sow
early, use plenty of seed, and put in as
great a breadth of land as possible, in these
two crops. On loose sandy »<jils rye may
he scattered among the cotton the laUr t
part of the month, and the winter tread
ing of Mock which on heavy soil* is inju
rious is a benefit to theee light lands, but
on the richer soils more food is produced.
Sow plenty of the Winter or Egyptian
Oats the last of the month for pasturage.
In ordinary winters these three crops afiord
aii invaluable aid in keeping rtock in good
condition.
California Clover may still be sown, tho
earlier the better: The same »true of the
Crimson Clover (Tfifolium iiwnrnalum,) a
forage plant of which we have great trope*
for winter and early spring.
procure now, seed of the Kcd Clover to
sOw either by Itself or in your' wheat the
last of this mouth. Any clean, soil that
w ill bring good wheat will bring good clo
ver, but the crop is vastly increased by
sowing upon ‘it broad cast one bushel ol
gypsum per aero; any seedsman can sup
ply seed, and we prefer otfr readers should
gel it direct.— Southern Cultivator.
THE PHILADELPHIA CONVENTION-
Tiw Uichniotid AVomnsiiq (bus accepts
tlie action of the Philadelphia Conven
tion. Wo commend the admirable spirit
ami sound reasoning an.braced in tho arti
cle, to the consideration of all our readers,
and especially to those who ate disposed to
find fault with tho action of tho Conven
tion :
Tliiq is no time to strain at gnats and j
swafipw camels. We should L.ko bread ,
views of the political Hilustfon of theeoun
try, nnd so arcommodatn ourselves to Us
chief aspects as to attSfiTtho Le»t resells.
Wo must not turn tnUanly away from tho
prospect presented to us because certain of
its minor features arc repulsive tons. We
should judge'of/lt-ss a w hole, and taka or
reject it, ns its mejjit* or dcroqrjts predom
inate. Besides, it is the part of wisdom to
consider*whollior a more promising picture
is offered to us iu any other dilection.
Can our auxtf'M* g»a** anywhere in the
limits of our hot'/.on find a inofe inviting
landscape upou which to linger? No, in
deed. The best is leforo in. Wo tncy
most devoutly wish it were belter, but we
shall be insane fort, fuse it.
In looking at tho - action of I lie I’liiia
dolphin Convention, wo see enough that
pleases to cause u* for tho time to ignore
faults that cenlraly urenot unobservable
to the Southern ey«.. Yet we la lee the
grand scope nnd tendency of that action
with tho greatest satisfaction. If it had
been more in accordance with Southern
conviction mid feeling it would have been
more gratifying to us as a mere philosophi
cal or literary production, but we aliouid
have had a sad premonition, n melancholy
assurance, that nil these fiue words would
butter no parsnips. The-fact forgotten bv
thoso who cavil at the resolutions and ad
dress of the Convention ia that tueae doc
uments would have leeu of co political
value to any but tbo Uadiculs had ifiey
been calculated for a Southern latitude ex
clusively. The Convention was national,
its objects national, and ft vPy wisely euun
dated national sentiments. The prool of
the conservatism, and moderation and f)*- v
triolism of that great hotly is found in the.
fact that tho Radical* m every section arc;
terribly alarmed by its action.
The Southern people should recollect
that Radicalism i« the fierce foe which we
have to combat, and that uuaidSd in lire
struggle, we are alteady defeated. Wo
must uot consider too cuikmsiy, nor bo too
nice iu our objection, when allies volunteer
to our assistance. llad;ial| themselves
would be very good material to Rrray
against Radicals; but to esteem our North
ern triends in the I’iiiladulpkia Covveutiou
as no better, would be to do them infinite
injustice, and to disgrace ourselves by
measureless ingratitude. They were,
doubtless, strong opponents of secession,
but they are uoue the less the enemies of
radios IL-ro. At all tiroes lovers of tho
Constitution and the Union, we should bo
willing to trust them wheu those bulwarks
of one freedom are to be defended or re
gained.
Let it be once confessed thrt respect is
due uot only to our convictions, but to
thoso oPthe North, nnd then the impartial
XI lia9 no difficulty in pronouncing the
rs of the Convention eminently satis
factory. If we havo pineiptes and feelings
to which some deference should bo paid,
masses of the North have these Brings also.
The juste miliew- the wise men —always
so difficult to fmd and follow, was never
moral)appily and successfully than
at Philadelphia. No section got all it de
sired, but each received everything deman
ded by-a proper spirit of compromise , in
mutuiu concessions.
The South iato be the immediate bene
ficiary of ttie exertions of the Uoftventi-^.
The maip pbjee!' prw,o*rd [mve difeeOßf-?
erence so the highest interests of tbo
Southern, States, '{ hey arc tube fflak’!%d
to tiie Union in perfect equity ; t’neif local
sovereignty is to be ic-ostublished and de
fended ; and the rights of their cilfceut
are to bo vindicated. These are prises of
immense magnitude and they should arouse
us td ifvcly steT.ifW them.
But what can we do? Our votes are un
availing as long as a Radical Congress ex
cludes our Senators nnd BopresenlaUvns.
The voles to gain tis these desiruhle things
must be N’orthern ones. Thu fight—the
aerial contort-is onthem fields,
wc can do, then, is To yfeld aliSSny moral
support*to our allies; to cheer tinm
our words of admiration and, gi>'.itu>L-;
and on uH occasions to wish them (Jod

thciio thm|s well by Allowing a'J carping
apftft t WiR a jea foils faiiH finding enur*e
animation la th* rawks of our people?
Shame on those who are Minad or so silly
as to think H>-
ltcmonibering that Northern voters are
to dec : dc whether the ffonth is to be Tea
torod to tho Union, it U simple fatuity to
insist that tfosdec Ural ion of principles
should have deen of a yliaraeter that could
only have any favorhbfe ilf ct *n' (fib South.
To shout for the objects of the ttonv- a
tion, and to shout against its platform, is
a rare consistency that would bo satisfied
only by a course that, would tur«jy' defoat
the objects so muck Inmlod. Wo eunriot
believe that any considerable number of
the Southern people ran he so illogical not
to any foolmb. 4 would be a cmivua na
lioual polities! dor-uniwnt that should 'seek
to please tho powerless and to i fiend the
powerful in such conjuncture as Iho pres
ent. We will he delighted if, the object*
sought are gained, and the only practical
question now is whether the Nortlern vo
ter# —those wfio alone c-m make those ob
jfcts ours—are pleased with tho resolutions
mid address of tho, Qouveutiou, there is
*thc point. Those who i.ffcct to bo fndiff r
e it to it ere enemies—whether knowingly
W e shall uot determine—to their country
It bcC' mes every rowi now who wants
to see a foil rc-sforaiian of the rights of
tho people and of tho Status under the
Gonstiuiti-jii, to do ad he uui to have the
principles aud o' jecla of tho Convention
endorsed heartily by the public voice. It
will not do to Indulge in fault finding. It
is easy enough to cavil. There is nothing
perfect under heaven', and lliose V?tt>‘ de
mand perfection in awrythiog here below
only exhibtkau impracticable temper that
wilt embarrass%rery effort of conciliation.
We believe that ns a w hole the results of
tho Convention are desuiyiug of praise, and
wo beliuve foither lhal the honest masses
ia all tedious, will disdain stiawsplitling
iu mattcra involving bop# so gregt and
so easy of renliattiou through prompt ac
tion.
The Radicals will find an inimi nse deal
of faSlt with the Convention. Let,ns not
assist them, how ever iu the ungrateful task.
