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. tnral JlutUtin. ly permission. 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. S.,R.JfcCo., Factors and Commission Merchants. RAILROAD TIMS TABLE.

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. J. ILbCliKNCK. M. D.. ¥A __ _ Vhiladelpbia. JOIZN F.
