The RemHy for Worn On* tund* nod tb©

AVfon 7elegraphand Messenger: The most
remarkable fester® fn the landscape which
would attract the attention of the traveler
throngh the Bute of Georgia (and Georgia '
in this reaped a type of most of the Southern
BUtesJ is the vast area of waste and unprodoo-
tlre land®—lands once rich and capable of large
rrlam to tbo farmer; bnt now, poor, worn-out
and literally worthless, and lost to all remuner
ative production, and we aro told that these are
the lands which have been eeUitaled and by
culture worn ont. What a contradiction of
terms! To cultttaU is to improve, to foster, to
meliorate, aud culture also conveys the idea of
improvement, of malting better; certainly not
of wealing, destroying and desolating. Still, the
term is used, and we all are now in the habit of
speaking of our cultivated lands—when, in
truth, by following the rules of culture as com
monly accepted and aotod on, the expected and
neoeasary result of the process is ultimately to
exhaust and render waste.
Now Uae question which should deeply inter
eat the owners or cultivators of these lands is,
U Me (he natural and r.tecuary retull of tilling
the tall and reaping ill fruile, or has thcro been,
sod la there atilt, some great misapprehension
of the laws «/ nature—some great and vital
error or mistake in the cultivation of these onoe
valuable and productive lands—which so rapidly
and aurely tend to their exhaustion and waste f
It is this question we desire now to discuss, and
to try and point out the remedy which nature
herself indicates for the removal of the evil and
the regeneration of these old and worthless
lands, and the preservation of thoso not already
rendered unproductive, except by tbo use of
stimulating manuret, too eoatly to be otherwise
than nnoertain as to the protit to be derived,
and to aay the leaat of it very donbtfnl as to
whether tbe ultimate result of their use may
not be forcibly to extraot everything and leave the
Mil irredeemably worthless. And bore science
comes to our aid. Theobemlst tells us that cot
ton, corn, wboat, tobacco, cto., require for then
nocriabment certain mineral enostances. and
upon anal) zing tbe aoil they point out tbo
amount of thoto nooersary ingredients possoi sod
by onr virgin aoil, and tbo loss in these partic
ulars which follow the coatinnons cultivation,
year after year, of one partionlar ciop. Ua
will also show ns that tbo residua of oue kind
of crap prepares tbo lend for another differing
in Its character; in a word, that rotation ia not
only tbs law of nature bnt also the lau) of im-
proeement. 'that it is tbo law of natnre, facta
constantly before ns abundantly prove. Got
down a growth of pine and tbe oak springs np;
cut down Ibe oak and some other tree takes
■ta place; destroy one class of annual wcods
and another distinct variety takes its place.
That rotation ia also tbe law of improvement
as well aa that of natnro, has been amply
and satisfactorily shown by Iho result of judi
cious systems of rotation aa practiced In i-ng
land—and all other thickly settled and highly
productive connlrloe—and wherever a system
atic and well arranged order .of rotation of
crops has been practised in this country, tho
results hsvo been most satisfactory, and if
oonnseted with deep plotting and return crops,
snob as clover, peas, or any other of tho legu-
mlnons or pes-besrtng plants, (ill of which
feed very largely upon tha atmosphere,) tbe
remit in a few yean has been a return of many
fold tbe amannt received before this system
was introduced. Again, it is well known that
what ia called Ibo not erupt, that is, Ibeso tbat
require constant turning and stirring of tbo
soil, sro paiticnlarly exhausting, from tho
neoeasary exposure to tho notion of the parch
ing rays of tbs anu, and the wasting oonseqaint
on the noil being kept loose and disintegrated.
While ibe fallen crept, if wo may nsoiho ex
pression—for by ilwo mean snchcrops as shade

state of matnruy aro ptowod In to supply vege
table matter, wbteh by Its procoss of decay,
decomposes tbo soil, so ns to rendor It capable
of supplying tha exhanating effects of previous
crops, whila we any tbe fallen crops naturally
tend to improvo tho land, ond enable it to ro-
Uin Ha vigor and productiveness, it ia not
a necessity tbat tbeao improving crops should
not bo also remnnerativo. Tbo eloier, in sec
tions of the oountry whero it may be growD,
(and Uentrai and Northern Georgia are ad
uilrably adapted both by soil and climate
for tbta plant), gives a largo bay crop
of tbo dnest quality, and seenros pasture lends
tbat will sustuin improved stock of any kind.
And in those sections where that plant will not
grow me pea, In aims of its varieties (the cas
ual of enltnrc of all prodnotivo plants), will not
only snppty good nonrtsh'.ug food, bnt return to
tho laud enormous quantities of vegetable mat
ter, a large portion of which has boon derived
from tbe utmovphero. Now, if in connection
with tbeao recuperating crops wo B lv “ <L“ land*

sulphate of lime, commonly knowD as piaster ol
pans or gypsnm, or potash ns fonnd In ashes,
Jcache J or unteachcd, to aid in Ibe chemical prep

gllimato rosolta of his labor with satisfaction
and increasing wealth, and transmit to his chil
dren a boritngo of rich and prodnetivo lands,

and a farm yard teeming with well fed and sleek
stock and oattlc, wbilo the area of land in onl
tivalton necoisary to fill his ciib with corn and
• his pockets with tbo salo of tits numerous cotton
bales will bo so comparatively mull that that
tbo numbor of laborers required to cultivate tt
will bo radnosd to tbo preaent moderate supply.
Hut it may be said, this looks very well on
paper; howwillitbolnpractioe? A pertinent
question wo acknowledge, bnt wo unhesitatingly
answer, it haa been loliy tested In this country,
and most euceetifullg. In tboSlato of Maryland
and tide water Virginia, tho resalts of rotation
of crop*, marling, deep plotting and a system of
thorough draining, haa produced results far
beyond tha most ssngntne bopea of those who
firat praotioed and reoommendod them. To
that enliRhtenod farmer and practical man,
Edwin KutUu, of Virginia, belongs a large
amount of the credit for introducing this sys
tem in his native State, and his own farm,
“Ooggiu’e Point," on James river, up to the
war, was a monument to the success of bis
labors. The arable portion of tbat farm, when
it oame into bis hands, was waste and wumont
land—easily plowed by a one horte plow—and
wielding an annual crop of some f-00 or COO
bushels of wheat, and hardly oorn enough to
feod the bands and stock—and yet, years be
fore tho war it required from three to fonr
strong horses or mules to tarn Ibe deep lich
soil—and from tl,000 to S,000 bushels of wheat
was no nnoommon yield of tho same area of
land; besides Urgo crops of oorn and oats far
above the nocossary oonsnmption of man and
beast. His neighbors gradually followed bis
example, and with like results, (tuey used little
or no guano in those days,) and tbo result was
that lands in Pnnoe George county, Va., once
too poor to command any prioe, with owners
emigrating West and South—soon became so
valuablo that few owners were willing to part
with them at any reasonable price. Emigra
tion was stopped. And farms well snb-divided,
and it is on record that onetluop would annually
drop her anohor in “Paw Bay," and take the
aocnmnlatel crops of all farms within reach;
whereas it is a fact tbat moro than one sturdy
brig oonld not oarry away tbo products of one
farm after this improved system of cultivation
was adopted. These aro facts, and can be fully
substantiated, and theso are the natural and
legitimate results of a true and healthful culti
vation of tho soil, and oan be proved to bo prac-
ti-a' faets in Georgia, as well as in Virginia—

On the Win ■
My last was from Memphis. Sinoe writing
that letter, I have been half over MiasirsippI,
Tennessee, and a portion of North Alabama.
Everywhere tho crops are promiaiag, bnt every
where they are in the grass. Oat here this has
been a very rainy spring, and especially has the
month of May been so. At preaent tbe weather
la more favorable, and tbe work of killing gran
goes bravely on, and I hear no complaints that
tbe negroes do not work. From my own obser
vation, they are working with a will, where tho
prospect of pay ia from tho crop.
In this section, (Eastern Mississippi) the ne
groes are becoming owners of the Mil, and in
many instance are managing tbeir matters with
skill and suooeag. They boy on time, and pay
in cotton, so ranch a year, and I have not heard
of an instance of failure. These Degroea eschew
politics and preaching—do tbeir work and their
praying at borne, avoiding public gatherings,
and make tbeir children work, whil.t the wife
cooks and cnltivales the garden. These negroos
exercise a most saintary police in tbeir neigh
borhoods. The largost ootton planter m this
State ia a negro, black as ebony, bnt ia an edn-
oated man and writes tbe most elegant band of
any man in the State. His crop is, yearly, from
2,600 to 3,000 bales cf ootton. His name is
Itobert Monigomcry. Ho was reared and edn-
oated by tbe late Joseph E. Davis, brother of
Jefferson Davis. For many years Montgomery
was manager for Mr. Davis in his planting in
terests, and always proved himself eminently
eapooitated as a planter and manager. This
man has ever an stained tbo repntation of an
upright and energetio man. There ia no man
in the county of Warren who Is more esteemed,
respected, or trailed, than Bob Montgomery.
Ho-is not, however, a preaoher or a politician,
and steers clear of both.
Tbo condition of tbo negro generally, how
ever, bas not been improved by bis emancipa
tion. He seems in tbe main incapable of that
foresight and eoonomy which is essential to his
future prosperity. Ho works, and now in moat
instances is walking well, bnt is too thriftless
toeeonomiso the frails of his labor, and com
mences every year bis work without a dollar in
bis pocket of tbo proceeds of tbe previons
year’s labor. He goes to his wort, cheerfully
singing, indifferent to tbe past, aud careless of
the fntnre, beyond the necessities of tbe day.
A mole, a gun and a watch aro the ultimate
aims of bis ambition; and when obtained are
left to starve, and to mat and to rain—so careless
and improvident is this son of Hsm.
Mississippi is essentially a planting State.
She ia without water power, without coal, or
any mineral reaonreos; she can bo self-snstain-
ing only in tbe prodaotion of her soil agricnl-
tnrally. In this she might live and bcoome im
mensely wealthy. Bat the improvidence of
the Southern planter is that of her peopio in an
eminent degree. They will not rear tbeir own
sicok or provisions. All of these, and ail of this,
she purchases from her neighbors of the West
with tbo proceeds of her ootton, and when they
aro paid for there is nothing left.
But why write this of the Mississippians? It
Is common to the entire South; and unless this
habit 1r reformed, the day is not far distant
wbon the prond, talented Southern man will
havo to yield his homo to the laborions enter
prise and fruitfnl eoonomy of the oalnto farmers
of tbe Western and Middle States. Theso are
beginning to send ont tbeir pioneers to oxamino
the lands of Texas, Arkansas and Mississippi.
They aro selecting the best places and miking
them better. Already they bare possession cf
nno-lhird of tbat Eden npon earth, Attakapss in
Louisiana, and aro making a Paradise, indeed.
Ooming np from tho Sonth on the Mobile and
Ohio railroad only a few weeks since, I fonnd
in tho car throe men from lows, every one of
them over Rixty years of age, who had Leon all
over theso States looking for A location for a col
ony from that State. They told mo they had nsed
corn for fnel all tho past winter because it was
cheaper than coal, and they bad determined
brave (he prejudices of tho Southern people
and make u home in tho Sontb, and trust
time and good oonduot to wear ont theso prejn
dices. Tbe exodns is commencing, and in twen
ty yoars tho tide of European immigration will
fellow these Western people and flood tbe South
Bat a short time since, I was compelled to
remain all night at the pretty littlo town of
Grenada, aitnated at the junction of the Mis
sissippi C.-.ntrul, and thoTennossee and Missis
sippi railroads. Thero is n commodious and
most rxocllent hotel, new and well kept, at this
junction. It was a beantifnl twilight There
nad been a shower in tbs afternoon, whiob had
cooled tbe earth and the atmosphere. Tho
stars wore whtto and twinkling in tbe bine
above; my chamber oponed on a commodious
gallery, narronuding tho upper story. Night
was tr-iailing on tho skirts or tho oot going twi
light, and tbo breeze, refreshingly cool, was
breathing throngh my casement, openly invit
ing it Beyond tho corridor was tho parlor,
audit wasia darkness; thcro wasa piano, and
penile hand softly touched its keys; iho tones
were low, bnt sweetly mellow; and presently
voice broko into song, ond tho ‘‘List ltoso
of Summer" was almost wbiepered in tones so
sweetly melodious that I stole from my cham
ber and stood breathless and listening, as grad
ually these harmonious notes entered my sonl
and filled with unshod tears my eyes. A ser
vant passe din, lighted a lamp in the chandalier,
and there before mo, and facing me, npon tho
piano i-lool, sat the blonde beauty with golden
hair, nnd she of the iron gray hair was pen
sively listening by her side. I was recognized
by tho blonde. She played on nnd saDg, bnt
her cheeks flashed, her voice trembled, and
this to me, made more thrilling tbe melody of
this nnrivaled air. The song was finished, tho
blondo smiled, bowod, and leaving the inslru
ment,- came ont to meet me ns I advanced into
the parlor. At this moment the eyes of the
iron-gray haired matron wero lifted to mine,
and I thought she shuddered; I know she
sighed, and over those staid and once beantifnl
features there went a clond, and they wero
palely sad. What had I given to know the
thonghts which impelled that sigh, aud sent the
clond which gloomed that queenlike ooonte-
nanoe!
How many there aro in this Western world
who havo a sad histoiy—unknown and un
dreamed of by the thoughtless passing many.
A broken heart, yet a tearless eye—a reticent
tongue, yet a tell tale face. Yon meet these
amidst the busy multitudes—on tbe trains, on
tho steamer, or in tho note); and yen look
curiously into the saddecod features, bnt the
heart and its story is hidden in tho aching
bosom, and we pass on to surmise, bnt to re
main in ignoranoe. It ia said there is a skeleton
in every heart—what is the one whose dry bones
rattle their misery in the heart of this gray
haired, stern, yet gentle woman? Misery ia
written on her brow—a tremble in her words,
as she affects to express pleasure at meeting
me again. It is bnt the courtesy of conven
tional politeness. I am snre sho has a memory
of me; thero is something speaking in her
manner, in her eyes, which Assarts me of it;
and tbe prying intensity of my gazs npon her
featnres p&infnlly tells her I am striving to
remember.
The sweet night in secret silence was brood
ing over tbe eartb, and I was alone on tbe open
gallery, gazing npon the stare. There were
none astir above the basement, and the silence
was delicious. Japiter blazed m the bine West,
dimming with bis arrogant glare, tbe lesser in
miuaries riding with him through tbe ether fir-
malnent. “Oh! what are those islands of light in
the bine Rea outspread above ?” I only asked as
I gazed npon them. There was a light foot
fall npon tho floor behind me, a chair by my
side was appropriated, and she of tho iron-gray
hair was in it seated near me.
We have met again,” she said; “It is tho
third time, and yet yon do not remember mo
beyond the meeting on the nnfortnnate steam
Her words were almost whispered. I ac
knowledged my want of memory.
“Many years since when we both were younger
than we now are, we met at tbe boose of Mr.
0. F., in New Orleans. Yon, he and I consti
tuted the party at dinner.”
I clasped my bands and groaned.
“Yon remember now, and the scene of tho fol
lowing day at tha Uity Hotel yon recall vividly.
Yon remember my agony as I held to my heart
infant of my dangbter, whilst the mother
gtzrd in wonder to witness my emotion. For
years she had deemed me dead. Was she ever
undeceived? And is she living still ? To learn
this I have come in hnmiiity to discover to yon
who I am. You are a gentleman and my secret
will remain with you. Nevar breathe my name
to the world. Let me to it remain amongst the
deed. My father esteemed yon. When yon
were in onr native land his was an honored
name. If not for mine, for his memory, never ,
apeak my name. Tell me, does my child yet
live ? and is she cherished by husband ? and ia
tbat sweet babe living I held so convulsively to
my heart ?’’
“Yonr daughter lives, and her four children
aro beantifnl and lovely. Her husband is an
honored man, and his wife beloved by her
neighbors and friends.”
“Yon never spoke to her of me ?”
“Never.”
“Never do it. Farewell.” Aud ar she come
slowly and silently she left the gallery, and I
was alone and looking at the stare. Y. M. 0.
