On account of respect for the motive, I may
hope for pardon, if I err In judgment, in the
effort to excite reflection and action on subjects
of so much vital importance. The hopes of the
oountry depend on agriculture mainly, and the
great aim of those who are engaged in it should
be to make it a practical success; and all the
ways and means to that end challenge the aid
and encouragement of every good citixen. Gen
eral deterioration and decline in material re
sources, in oomforts, in happiness and the in
tegrity of our raoe, are the logical sequences to
be anticipated from a persistence in the ruinous
pradioes of past years, and tho prevailing inat
tention to the enlightened reforms and improve
ments that are going on in other parts of the
world, and that are blessing other nations and
peoples.
. Too art of agriculture cries to the farmers of
Georgia for improvement. Its cries will bo in
vain, to a groat extent, until tbo occupation of
farming itself is elevated in the estimation of
farmers to Ha rightful standard of dignity. Bo
long as this calling is punned by the masses of
people who are engaged in it, with the notion
constantly depressing their spirits and stifling
improvement that it ia less respectable and hon
orable than other trades and callings and the
learned professions, and that instead of being
a chosen method of doing and enjoying the
most good in the world, it is the infliction of
necessity and want of means and circumstances
to embark in other pursuits—so long will it drag
ont sn existence that fails to accomplish for the
people iu high capabilities. Now one of the
greatest agencies of reform in this direction so
necessary, ia the general diffusion of knowl
edge and the intellectual training of those who
arc engaged in that calling; and to the subject
of Agriculture Education I propose to devote
this article.
It would be instructive to many, but interest
ing to perhaps bnt few who could be induced to
read so long an article, to review the history,
progress and achievements of institutions do-
voted to agricultural learning and subjects ger-
main thereto, in Prussia, Germany, Bootland,
England, New York, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Illinois, and many other States of tho Union;
and to present to you the almost magical
changes and new revolutions that have been
brought about in industrial pursuits, through
tho wonder working of mind when cnltivated
and trained and brought to bear upon produc
tion—developing tbe capabilities of the earth, of
of animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms—
subordinating all to the arts of tbe trained agri-
culturisL But such a discussion would violate
tho plan of brevity adopted for these letters—
and I will take it for granted yon already ap-
preciste the great importance of agricultural
education, esfiecially when your own country
spread out before you is on every day reminder
to you of tbo wofnl want of it.
How to accomplish it is tbo practical question,
and it is tbe proper period for our people to
consider it and begin to take action upon it.
As early as 1867, Jnstico S. Morrill, of Ver
mont, who wav chairman of tbe Committee of
tho United States Honse of Representatives on
Agriculture, reported a bill, to appropriate a
part of tbe public lands to the several States for
tbe purpose of encouraging institntions for tbe
advancement of ngricnltnro and tbe mechanic
arts. It met with opposition, generally from
tho South—never passed until the winter of
1869, und was thon vetoed by President Bu-
ebanan. Tbo same project was brought forward
by Senator Wade, of Ohio, in 18C2, and passed
with large majorities in both honses, and was
approved by President Lincoln July 22, 18G2.
The object of the appropriation was to establish
at least one college in every Slate upon a sure
and perpetual foundation, where the needful
sciences for the practical avocations of life shall
bo taught—where agriculture, the foundation of
present and future prosperity, may look for
troops of earnest friends studying its familiar
and recondite economies, and at last elevating
it to that higher level where it may fearlessly
invoke comparison with tho most aavanoed
standards of tbe world. Come from whomsoever
it may, the motive must command the approval
of every true man who duly appreciates the sub.
ject now under review—tho education of agri
culturists and tbo elevation of tbeir calling.
It is unnecessary to enter into tbo details of
the bill here. The quota of land for Georgia
at 30,000 sen s to each Representative nnd Sen
ator is 270,000 acres which have not in any way
been appropriated by the Legislature. The re
cent movement liy the State University at
Athens to bavo this land donated that institu
tion, brought the subject before the Stato Agri
cultural Convention at Rome, and no doubt tho
next Legislature will take action and dispose of
tho gift in some way. Different places with
groat force of reason contend for it, and many
interests are to be consulted if that which is
given to ns by tbe general government is to be
merely given away again. Bnt in that view of
it tbe people generally have but little interest.
If there is no higher mission for this fund to
accomplish, and it is to be given away to a town
or section of country, it matters but little bow
it ia decided. Tbo State University will prob
ably hnvo but little, if any competition, if it is
decided to give it to an established college, for
tbe constitution of the State forbids a donation
to any sectarian corporation or association.
Then, so for as relates to this fund, the sim
ple question is whether it shell in whole or in
part be appropriated to establish an agricultu
ral department connected with tbe State Uni
versity, or to tbe establishment of a separate
school or schools. Hence this is a debatable
question, not with reference to the pecuniary
aid it may bring to Athens, or Dahlonega, or
Milledgeville, or the effect it may have upon
tbe fortunes of the State University. Those
subjects may be Important, bnt they are not the
subjects in hand. Tbe one before us is tbe
promotion of agricultural education—the great
est benefit to the greatest number, that may
acorue from these 270,000 acres of Government
lands given to this State.
This subject has engaged tbe attention and
study of tho best minds in Europe for many
years, and tho prevailing, or preponderance of
judgment seems to be in favor of annexing ag-
ricnltnral departments to tbe established col
leges and universities, with experimental farms
in preference to separate academies and insti
tutions devoted to industrial education and
apart from those devoted also to the education
of men for other avocations. It is deemed that
a higher degree of success is attainable with less
expense; but whether the reasons which lead
to this conclusion apply to tho peculiar state of
affairs with us is worthy of inquiry. Whether
from the insufficiency of the donation itself
for tho purpose separately, or actuated by the
masons of the Europeans on this subject, I am
not informed. But some of tbe States accepted
this Congressional grant, have, it seems, an
nexed departments of agriculture to literary in
stitutions already established. Some have given
their lands to State Agricultural Colleges, al
ready in operation, while others have provided
for the establishment of now institutions.
These agricultural colleges and departments,
although imperfect and in tbeir infancy, prom
ise in tho end abundant success and the most
beneficial results. A class of young and ener-
getio men are being trained for teachers and
professors, and for tbe dissemination of knowl
edge in tbis department that not many years
henoo will throw around agricultural pursuits a
lustre thoy never had before the American public.
Instead of the Latin and Greek and Hebrew
languages, and tbe higher mathematics, and
those studies that tend most to develop the law
yer, divine and physician, and to which so much
time is devoted in our colleges, they are pursu
ing lice studies : (practical agriculture, laying
out farms, buildings, implements, principles of
tillage, drains, stock breeding, breeds of do
mestic animals and tbeir management and care,
their diseases and treatment, feeding, fatten
ing, etc.; tbe succession of crops, fertilizing,
etc.; botany in all its nsefnl phases; horticrrl
torsi improvements, geology, insects, chemica
elements of soils, their composition and treat
ment, farm implem mta, surveying, mapping
and book-keeping, landscape gardening and
rural architecture, roads, bridges, highways and
fenoes, meteorology, physical geography, cli
matology, political economy and tbe civil polity
of living nations.
They are being educated, not so much as to
what past ages have been and done, but as to
what tbis and future generations are doing and
are to accomplish. Under the influence of this
growing spirit of enterprise and improvement
in Europe and other States of America, lands
appreciate In intrinsic and market value, and
the elements of progress and material prosperi
ty multiply as under a magic hand. It is the
reign of mind occr matter in practical demon
stration. We are standing still in the tracks
our fathers made. And why is it? It is not
for want of mind, ability, energy, integrity,
public virtue,—not for the want of any element
of character that makes a people lovable and
honorable. But it is tho want of progress, the
spirit of progress, and that lies in the want of
general agricultural education which would ele
vate the calling of the farmer to its tree dignity,
and inspire the proper effort in improvement
Now all this is vital matter to be considered
by our people, whose destiny is their own hands
for weal or woe. It is their privilege to rise and
assert their power; to advance with the civiliza
tion of tbe age; or standing stationary upon the
defunct ideas of past ages, until the time-worn
foundations beneath them rot and fall, and they
by natural gradations fall back into imbecility
and quasi-barbarism—all in the sun-light nnd
noon-day blaze of advancing civilization and
developing edenoe all oTCr the world.
Can it be possible that tho present bravo and
noble race of Georgians will qnietly fold their
hands and take no steps to place our descend
ants on s footing with the educated masses of
other countries and States? It is difficult to
indulging in
tu, such as at
impatient expressions, such as a private citizen
has no right to use.
Now this Federal donation of 270,000 acres of
public land may be sufficient for a separate cen
tral agricultural college, with all the appnrten-
;s necessary to form and carry it on, or to
annex a department to the State University
which may answer the same purpose, all of
which I am willing to leave to tbe better in
formed judgments of the State, and to tbe wis-
i and integrity and virtue of the Legislature
b But U ia of itself insufficient to meet the
great wants of the people. That may answer
for the least, but its vital principle ought to
permeate the whole—its life blood ought to cir
culate to every extremity, until every nook and
corner of the State ia vitalized by its power,
and every hamlet is ablaze with agricultural
knowledge. Every association ought to have a
school and experimental farm for its centre,
whose annual exhibitions should be fairs instead
of commencements. Pupils while studying the
books taught in other schools, shonld apply
body and mind to the practical operations that
are to qualify them for success. The general
education of the farmers is the necessity of this
age. The donation of the Federal Government,
while not ample to meet the great end in view,
may form the germ or nucleus of a system,
whose benefits will reach tbe whole oountry.

WIH Planters Meet Tbeir Paper?
In another article nnder tbe head of “The
Cotton Question” we make allnsion to the cen
sure passed upon our low estimste of the crop,
which some consider likely to induce planters
to hold tbeir ootton back for higher prices, and
suffer tbeir drafts to go unprotected at maturity.
Oar experience in business transactions with
tbe planters of Georgia bss long ainoe convinced
ns that, as a class, no people are more tree to
tbeir obligations, and this opinion was expressed
by a well known capitalist of our city, a holder
of a large amount of planters' drafts, who re
marked to ns tbe other day that be regarded bis
money thus invested as safe as it would be in
government bonds. Tbe manner in which they
met their paper last season warrants this opinion,
and shonld allay any apprehensions upon the
subject.
Considering tbe enormous indebtedness and
the failure to realize for their cotton tbe actnal
cost of production, we were surprised not to
witness last years general collapse in the plant
ing interests. Many planters, it is known, were
unable to meet all their engagements; yet in
but comparatively few cases, such arrange
ments were made as enabled their factors to
carry them over with easo. Their indebtedness
this season we believe to bo much less than has
been the case in several years past. One fonrth
the probable reoeipts at tbis place will be, in
onr judgment, amply sufficient, at present
prices, to pav the entire amount, and leave, we
hope, the balance beyond the oontrol of those
organized combinations which have for many
seasons so manipulated the market as to get the
crop at their own prices. We therefore believe
that, unless providentially hindered, even with
half a crop, planters will respond to their en
gagements to factors with tbeir accustomed
promptness. Evidence of this we have daily in
lettera from our own customers, acknowledging
receipt of notices of their paper, SDd assuring
us we need have no fears of their being behind
time; that although tbe weather has materially
retarded picking and ginning, they will manage
to have enough cotton in market to meet their
drafts at maturity.
The truth is,plonters realize the fact that so long
as they remain dependent for means wherewith
to cultivate their plantations, no greater calamity
could befall them than that tbe credit of their
factors should become impaired, for wbat would
injure one wonld, to some extent, throw distrust
upon tbe other bouses and thus make it difficult,
if not actnally impossible, to obtain assistance
hereafter.
In conclusion, we can only say to them what
they seem folly to appreciate: Do yonr best to
get forward enough cotton to meet your obliga
tions. Let no trivial circumstance prevent your
doing so, aa your factors excuse that you could
not get your cotton ginned, that bridges bad
been swept away or tho roads wore bad, will not
be aooepted at his bank as sufficient reason for
his failure to pay your draft, upon the eery day
of maturity. Place cotton in his hands, and if
you do not wont to sell it, he can, no doubt, ar
range for your paper to your satisfaction.

Cause and Cure of Consumption.
The primary cause of Consumption is derangement
of the digestive organs. Thi* derargement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation- By assimilation
I mean that process by which the nutriment of the
food is converted into blood, and thenc* into the sol
ids of the body. Persons with digestion tbu* im
paired, having the slightest predisposition to pulmo
nary disease, or if they tske cold, will be very limbic
to nave Consumption of tbo Lungs iu some of its
forms; and 1 hold that it will be impossible to cure
any case of Consumption without first restoring a good
riicestion and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing to bo done is to cleanse the stoma'll! and bowels
from ail diseased mucus and slftnc, which is c'ogging
these organs so that they cinnot perform their tuno
tions.aud then rouse up and restore the liver to a
hi al by action. For tbis purpose tbe surest and best
remedy is bchenck’s Mandrake Fills. These Pills
clean the stomach and bowels of all the dead and mor
bid slime that is causing disease and decay in the
whole system. They will dearout t Jie liver of all dis
eased bile that has accumulate! there, and rouse it
up to a new and healthy action, by which natural
and healthy bile is iccrcrcl.
Tbo stomaob, bowels and liver are thus cleansed by
tho use of eichenck** Mandrake Pills: but there re
mains in the stomach an excess of acid, the orcan is
torpid and the appetite poor. In the bowels (ho lac
teal* axo weak, and requiring streneth ar-d support.
It is in a condition like this that bchenck's Seaweed
Tonic proves to be tho moat valuable remedy ever
discovered. It is alkaline, and its use will neutralise
ail excess of acid, making the stomach rweet and
fresh; it will give permanent tone lo^this important
organ, and create a good, hearty appetite, and pre
pare the system for tne first process of a good diges
tion. and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood.
After this preparatory treatment, what remains to
euro most cases of Consumption is the f/eoand perse
vering use of Hchenck’s Pulmonic byrup. The Pul
monic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies the blood,
and is readily absorbed into tho circulation, and
thenco distributed to the diseased lungs. There it
ripens all morbid matters, weetber in tho form of ab
scesses or tubercles, and then assists nature to expel
all the diseased master in the form of free expectora
tion, when once it ripens, It is then, by the great
healing and purifying properties of Schenck’s tul-
monic byrup, that all ulcors and cavities are healed
tion is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion,
so that tbe body will rrow in flesh and getstronr. If
a person has diseased lung*—a cavity or abscess there
—tbe cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot riren, so
lone as tbe system is below par. What is necessary to
cure is a new order of things—a good appetite, a goed
nutrition, tbe body to grow in flesh and get fat; then
Nature is helped, the cavities will heal, tbe matter
will ripei and be thrown off in large quantities, and
the person rfgain health and strength This is the
true a d only plan to cure Consumption, and if a
person is very bad, if the lungs are not entirely de
stroyed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if there
is enough vitality left in the other to heal up. there
is hope.
I have seen many persons cured with only one
sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good eld age.—
This is wbat bchenck’s Medicines will do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen it. get up a good digestion,
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear the
system of all the disease that is in the lungs, what
ever the form maybe
It is important that while u-ing Schenck’s Medi
cines care should be exercised not to take cold: keep
in-doors in cald and damp weather: avoid night air.
and take out-door exercise only in a genial and warm
sunshire.
I wish it diftlnctlr understood that when I recom
mend a patient to be careful In regard to taking cold,
while using my medicines. I do so for a special rea
son. A man who has hut partially recovered from
the effects of a bad cold is far more liable to a relapse
than one who has been entirely cured; mud it is pre
cisely the same in regard to Consumption, bo lenr
ms tbe langs are not perfectly healed. ju*t so long if
there imminent danger of a lull return of the disease.
Hence it is that L to strenuously caution pu ! monary
patients against exposing ttemselves to an atmos
phere that is not genial an! pleasant. Confirmed
consumptives* lungs are a mass of sorej. which the
least change of atmosphere will inflamo. The grand
secret of my success with my medicines consists in my
ability to eubduo inflammation instead of provoking
it. as many of the faculty do. An inflamed lung can-
no'. with safety to tbe patient, be exposedto the bit
ing blasts of winter or the chilling winds of spring or
antumn. Jt should be carefully shielded from all ir
ritating influences. The utmost cantion should be
observed in this particular, as without it a cure under
almost any circumstances is an impossibility.
The person should be kept on a wholesome and nu
tritious diet, and all the medicines continued until
the body has restored to it the natural quantity of
flesh and strength.
I was myself cured by tbis treatment of the worst
kind of Consumption, and have lived to get fat and
hearty these many years, with one lung mostly gone.
I have cured thousands since, ard vtrv many nave
been cared by this treatment whom I have never
teen,
. About tbe firjt of October I expect to take posses
sion of my new building, at tbe Northeast Corner of
bixth and Arch Streets, where I shall be pleased to
give advice to all who may require it.
Full directions accompany all my remedies, so that
a person is any part of the world can be readily
cure! by actrict observance of the same.

We call attention to the following extract from a
letter from J.W.Burko, Esq.:
Macon, Ga., March 23,1871.
“We hayo had ono of tho U. S. Gaslight Compa-
ny a Machines, in operation^ since tlio 10th of No
vember, 1870, and it la perfectly satisfactory to na
m its general working and cheapness. We paid tho
Macon Gaslight Company for four months of last
year and the year previous—viz: November, De-
cemher, January and February—>300.5G. In using
this Machine our gaa for the four corresponding
°oet us 8114—thus saving us in that timo
^80.50. Ihe light is quite as good as that of tho
Ony Gas Company, and has tho advantage of being
entirely under our control to use as wo please.
During the eovera weather in December it burned
without intermission, not being at all affected by
tho freeze. Wo see no trouble in iho Machine or
the light, and cheerfully recommend it.”
