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 spoed iu ll.i-ir ludrlo career. Sliii'i wo do 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.
