The RemHy for Worn On* tund* nod tb© Utrnnm of JPrcserrlnff Contlnntd Fer tility* 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 tbe land Jnrlog tbeir growth, nod at a proper 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* an occasional application ol lime, especially tbo 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 aratiou of food for tho coming cotton crop, then may wo in a fowyoarsflndoursolveacomparative ly independent of thoso expensive and exhaust ing sllmnlating mnnnros in tho various forms of guano and tho like, and tho farmer reap Iho lo- gllimato rosolta of his labor with satisfaction and increasing wealth, and transmit to his chil dren a boritngo of rich and prodnetivo lands, year by yoar bosoming more and moto valuable, 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— tf oar t. mere will consent to culticate and im- pr air land*, by observing the laws of n I ua. ind availing themselves of tho teach ing. o rienco (which is bnt nature’s hand maid). rta'favoritesystemot rotationwith Mr. Eaffin VSl what was oalied the Ae, f le yi system, that is, the : ble land on the 1 arm was uivided into five field, of equal size, and the toution was as follows: F rst year, oorn; second, wheat; third, olover, t.' irtb, wheal, and fifth, clover, so that there wcnl 1 bo the same year two fields 0 [ wheat—: fit money crop—one of corn, the feed, ing -.id two of clover, the improving crop.

BY TELEGRAPH ll'.VOAI’l DISPATCHES. mas ■iMtaMPPi. art's Flsnlrrs—ImmlK'sUoa, etc., etc. Cones ponder. .0 Telegraph and Messenger j 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.
