MISCELLANY.
ADAPTATION of THE SOUTHERN ST A I ES TO
SHEEP HUSBANDRY AS AN IMPORTANT
BRANCH OF INDUSTRY.
Sonic few years sinew, Mr. Skinner, Etliior of tho Farmer’s
Library, (hen residing here ns Assistant PosimnHler General,
with his incorrigible addiction to the cause of Agriculture, ad
dressed certain inquiries to Mr. Clingman touching tho soil
anil climate ami price of lands in his Congressional District in
Norih Carolina—in reference especially lo its udaptulion lo
1 Sheep Husbandry.
Mr Cliitgman'H answers were published in this paper at llie
lime, and attracted much notice, ns revealing, for that portion
of his Stale, rich capabilities not generally appreciated or
kno** n. Since then the subject seems to have been attracting
mure and more alteulion, until t.*ow it has been taken up sys
tematically, for a patient and thorough investigation, in a ac
tio* of letters, appearing in the Farmers ’ Library, (published
ut New York and edited bv Mr. Skinner.) from the pen of n
gentleman in the Western part of New York—one who, as it
would seem by the follow in? communication from Virginia,
brings to the question n ample stock of personal experience,
with the further advantage of familiarity with all that has been
written on the general subject ‘These letters, when the ae
ries is completed, will, it i* understood, he published in a de
tached form, illn.-'t ated hv well executed engravings, and
promise to make a complete manual for all who mnv desire ei
ther to embark in it or to understand it in all its bearings. The
general scope of these letters, a* far a* they have yet appear
ed, is described in the following communication, which as it
could not now appear in the Farmer’s Library before June, is
presented through our columns,in llie full persuasion that the
matter is one of interest for n large portion of out country rea
ders.
Attention has, wc see, been apparently called in the Courier
and Enquirer of New York, to proposals in that paper “for the
establishment of n Sheep-fold of one hundred and twenty-thous
and head of sheep in Western Virginia.”
In the mean time, and in view not so much of these letters
1 as of the various nnd high order of the contents of every num
ber of the periodical in which they are published, and of its un
inistakeahle value tor every one who would appreciate the lit
erature and be well posted up in all the great improvements
that science is confering on Agriculture, we cannot forbear
ugain to recommend immediate subscription lo the Journal it.

SHEEP HUSBANDRY IN THE SOUTU-MR. If. S
RANDALL’S LETTERS.
J. S. SKINNER, E-*q.—As tt citizen ol one of the Southern
States, an 1 a practical agriculturist, I have perused with deep
inters*! the aduifruhlc se< ir-s of letteis which have recently ap
peared in your valuable magazine, on the practicability, ex
pediency, and util ii % of introducing Sheep Husbandry among,
us to u greater extent than ha* hitherto prevailed. The au
l* r ot these letters, Henry S. Randall, Esq ,of Cortland coun
ty, New Yolk, ia evidently thoroughly familiar with the sub
ject lie has undertaken lo discuss in all its departments; and
11 it is due lo him to any that both the mutter and the manner
of rhe*e communication-* indicate not only the experienced ag
ri* “Muriel, but the finished scholar and the close and discrimi
nating student The array of authorities which he has brought
to beat upon his favorite topic* no less than the skill and judg
ment with which they are marshalled in support of his views,
leave no ro. ui lo doubt the extent and variety of his investiga
tions or tliegeuer.tl soundness of the conclusions deduced:
while >he detailed results of his own long experience in this
paiticular brunch ol farm husbandry ar** invaluable ns practi
cal confirmations of ihe theories which they are designed to
iliustr te and support.
I am free to confess that I entered upon the examination of
the pr mla brought forward in support of this writer’s views
with no very sanguine anticipation!* of his ability, however
grout his itigenuiiy, to establish toe hypothesis with which he
set out, viz: that anew and most profitable and permanent
staple might, without difficulty and nearly w ithout expense, be
added to ihe productive industry of this quarter of the Union,
which should not only serve for an adequate supply of the
home demand, hut afford a constantly increairing surplus for
exportation. The stut'siics, however, of the first letter—the
compilation nnd arrangement of which, by the way, mast have
com Mr. K n vast amount of luhor and research—induced me
to doubt whether, after all, we of the South had taken the ne
cessarv pains lo ascertain fully the advantages of our position,
soil and climate in this lespect; und as 1 progressed in the in
vestigation I became more and more interested in the mguinent
and in the tacts brought out. Surely “if this great object can
be achieved,” in the language of Mr. R., “and by the same
means the husbandry of the regions now under cultivation be
made to assume that mixed and convertible character which
w ill both udd to their present proceeds and better sustain their
fertility for future demands 011 them, a benefit will he confer
red on the South,the present >nd final results ol which it would
he difficult to over estimate ” Let us see, then, how far forth
the fads of thr case will sustain the hypothesis of the writer.
The fact that “woollen fabrics constitute an important item
in the imports of ilip Southern States.” and that “for these
they exchange the proceeds of 110 inconsiderable proportion of
• their industry with the Northern States and with Europe,” is
clearly incontrovertible; nor does it seem to admit of any
question that an immense di-parity exists in the growth and
1 manufacture of wool in the Northern and Southern States—a
disparity not satisfactorily, mv judgment, lo he accounted for
by any circumstance in tiie relative condition of the latter ae
to soil, climate or resources, when compared with the former.
Il being, then, conceded that the aggregate number of sheep
and the aggregate amount of word ill Ihe single State of New
York, w’ it ii a population of two and a half millions and an area
of 46.0011 square nii'es, exceed very considerably the same pro
ducts in llie Ira States south of the Potomac and Ohio and
west ol the Mississippi, (including Louisiana.) with a popula
tion of over six millions and an urea ol 495,000 square miles,
Mr. R indall enters upon an examination of the causes and
reasons ot this state ol things. “In itwrr any rim**,” Be tbw
( property i.qiHi*-r., mifrin Ysmntr whirls iidara them lc
iuvornble to tin- health or w 001-producing qualities ol ihe sheep,
or is there anv iliiug in their top graphical features, soils,
herbage, or other circumstances which unJUs ihe in for a natu
ral aud east adaptation lo sheen husbandry I Or have they
other staples so much more profitable that it is not an object lo
grow wool V* *
With reference to climate and its effects upon th** health and
wool-piodiicing qualities ol the finest families of sheep, he has
satisfactorily demonstiated that or ibis as well as on the eas
tern * oniinenl the mo-t healthy tdieep have long been reared
under every degree of latitude adapted to ihe herniation of man
—“fro * t lie equator to the sixlv-fifth degree of north latitude,
trom the burning plum- nf Africa and Asia lo the almost per
petual trostsoi Ireland,” on the eastern continent, and in the
lowest, hottest. Mini most unhealthy parts of the Southern
Stales. He Iteuce legitimately, a- 1 think, draws the conclu
sion that, “so tar as health is concerned, we are assuredly au
thorized 10 assume the position that no portion of the United
States is too warm fur sheep.'’ As to the wool-producing
quality of the animal, Vlr R. takes issue with the deductions
w hich an examination of the census of 1840 in this particular,
might he supposed to authorize, and institutes a rigorous and
claae cross-examination of the returns ol the marshals, result
ing in tli conclusion that ‘there is no great difference in the
average product of wool per head in Stales separated by from
ten lo tilicen degrees of latitude, and no more than is clearly
refer abb to incidental or extraneous causes , unless w choie
to the conclusion (hat the difference is in favor of the Southern
States. ’ Me adds that “the comparative statistics of the ex- j
treme Southern States themsel* * s show that in a majority of
rases their best products of wool come f> om their south* rn and
warmer counties.” Warmth of temperature, in his judgment,
so tar from being injurious, is on the contrary “absolutely con
dative to the production of wool.” His reasoning on (Ins head
secuis to me conclusive. “Warm climates afford green nnd
succulent herbage duntig a greater portion of the year than
cold ones. Sheep plentifully supplied with green herbage
keep m higher condition than when confined to that which is
| dry. High condition promotes those secretions which form
| wool.”
In his second letter Mr. R. admits that, 1 other things being I
equal, the pelage ol the sheep and Some other nnimule becomes
finer in cold climates and eour-Ar in warm ones.” This effect

judicious cultivation, and its comparative efficacy in giving to
Southern agriculture a mixed and convertible character, and
thereby sustaining or improving all the present good tillage

(filling land until it is worn out, then abandoning it and open

ry is started whether, even independently of all this, it might
not bo “ better economy on the whole for the South to produce
the raw material, and manufacture domestic woollens, particu
larly for the apparel and bedding of slaves, than to be depend
ant for them on England or Massachusetts-” Doubtless it
would; and although we ofthe South have hitherto been hut
backward students in the economic school, leaving our “ profit
an I loss account’ with all except our favorite staples, cotton
and tome™,! “ balls uce” itself as it best might, there are un
mistakeahle indication* in the political horoscope that we may
ultimately find our interest in “calculating the value” of onr
peculiar n mintages, irrespective of the sources of supply indi
cated by Mr. R. At all events, I see no sufficient reason why we
should not avail ourselves of the obvious facilities afforded by
our genial climate nnd diversified soils for the introduction and
efficient culture of that great staple wool in all its branches :
why we may not manufacture sufficiently at least for our own
CMiiHiimption, if not for expoitation, as well as our brethren of
the North.
Mr. Randall, in my judgment, is entitled to the warmest
thanks of every Southern farmer and planter for hia enlighten
ed and clear exposition of this whole subject ; and I earnestly
trust his valuable series of letters, when completed, will be
widely circulated among us. They are well worthy of the
! most careful and diligent perusal; and if (or nothing else than
obtaining the rich stores of information they contain, should bo
in th * possession of every intelligent gentleman in our com
, in unity.
With your permission, my dear sir, I will endeavor to com
plete my examination of the residue of these letters, including
the filth, upon which I have but just entered, in season for vour
next number. ACCOMACK.

MILITARY CHARACTERISTICS OF GEN.TAYLOR.
There are two leading characteristic* by which military
commanders generally and widely differ, and which give to
their genius its distinctive character. Impetuosity and cau
tion form the two extremes—an impulsive energy and an in
vim tble resolution divide them into two classes. Among the
ancient* Alexander the Great and Hannibal—among the mod
erns I’rince Eugene and Marlborough, and more recently
among the Marshals of France, Murat and McDonald, present
illustrations ot this difference. Such commanders as Freder
ick the ‘2nd, Bonaparte and Wellington, may he said to com
bine all ihe beat characteristics, so as to present not an exclu
sive a trait of military character as we have placed at the head
of these respective divisions.
Gen. lay lor is to be ranked in the latter of these categoriee.
He exhibits an example of energetic determination—of invinci
ble will that places In* name by the side of thoee which rank
mi this cln-n fictitioii, among the eminent master* >n the art of
w ar. Ihe impetuosity that hazards ail in the peiil of the fight,
from lion constitutional vehemence—that uncalculating hero
■'in which ili-.iHiiiH to measure difficulties or to estimate ob
siHcle* fi.oU its appropriate representative in a Mural or
L Ur- i but ill it more subdued temperament which unites
‘•null li Wl ll Iff (‘irrciTOil i,, ■sfc**l’ •A.rtfctllgTv reflected
im**” h captains as Lay lor and those with whom he m at close
ly compares.
Eh it of these separate characteristics is valuable in com
mand. and perhaps most valuable where the oppoaile qnali
nescoine into collision, either in commanders or soldiery.—
How of en has the im|teiuous charg**, impelled by daring
courage been repelled by the steady bravery of determined
baiuliioiis, and li> W frequently as the fury of an impulsive
chid spent itself agtinst the unsubdued will the unconquera
ble resolution ol a lender whose decision could not be shaken
or bis caution baffl'd. It has been said of i'aylor that he
knew not when he was beaten, He sliaies in this commenda
tion with Masse ua. in whom the same impregnable will pre
dominated This difference denotes a dietincitm of races It
shows itself in the opposite qualities of the Latin and Teuto
nic nations of Europe, as it presents a similar, but not so mark
ed a contrast between the Anglo Saxon and Mexican races on
this continent. In the ciicomsiancea in which he was placed
the peculiar temperament of Gen. T .v> or presented a singular
adaptation to his c ommand on the Lio Grande. Coolness in
danger is an ordinary military characteristic. Stralegetic
skill and evei. scientific combination are tha possession of sev
eral. The gift ol command, by inspiring confidence and witi*
iiiug attachment, is the attribute of aiany. Hut that combina
tion of (polities which not only opposes to the impetuous on
set collected in all emergencies—under every dis
advantage of position and of numbers—exhibits an unshaken
self-reliance and an iron will, presented iu mi* case the most
available, if ibt the iimat brilliant, military characteristics.—
If Gen. Tat lor fin* possessed a larg r share of impetuosity—
a more impulsive spirit—|f bis singular endue aunts bad not
conferred on him a natural fitness for command on the Rio
Grande, our campaign may not have had so fortunate xud fall
• cilous a termination.
1 here is on.** p cuiiarify In Gen. Taylor** military leadership
| shat cannot bo lorgotteu, for it will form an important chapter
| iu military history, and by which lie exhibited that merit
I winch ia never accorded except to the highest talent for war.
! It was i bought to present a trait of c on* u nun ale skill when
Frederick of Prussia, environed in Hilesia by almost over
j whelming numbers, preserved unbroken Ins fins of interior
ciuninunicatinn. Boiuiparte h*a acquired laurels as verdant
a-* any of those won bv tiis moat brilliant actions, by a similar
•peciea of desert in 1814. in the fields of Champagne. Let any
one now cast his view hack to the scene where Gen Taylors
line of interior communication wi so constantly threatened.
• Let tha attentive observer retrace that extended field ofopera-
I lions, by wlnch he combined tha strategy of attack with the
skill tbai belongs to the defence of such a line. Will it bo
said, alter such a survey of the difficulties of his position,and
the mad quafly of hia rorce, (list he will not advantageously
compare with those captain* who not only foucht their bah
lb s with unanrpaesed energy, but axhibied a foresight that
belongs lo a high order oi military meritT And if ihara was
no scope for those larger combinations which denote the pres
ence of rare military nccomplialiment.it will be recollect'd
that we claim lor him not the intellect by which all the char
acleristies for command are presented infelicitous union, but
that Hast of understanding which gives lo one division of gen
eralship large caution, the force of a accent rated will, tin*
shaken resolution, and uuaurpassed perseverance.— Chariot -

ChkemFOL*RSl.—Cheerfulness, unaffected cheerfulness, iO
what you must bring into company, if you wish to shins ia
conversation. We do not mean by this, any ol’ moae oudbrout -
ings of mirth, nor what tha world sometimes calls M a high flow
of spirits,” but a light and airy equanimity of temper, that ne
ver rises to bniaicruiianess, never sinks to dullness— that
moves gracefully “from grave to gayt** from serious to serene,
and by mare manner, gives proof of a feeling heart and gener
ous mind. The high and boisterous flow es spirits, so often
praised by the superficial observer, that keeps up during a par
ty, or visit, and than sinks down to absolute bullishness, is, on
the other hand, the sura sign of a coarse nnd vulgar mind.
Too Classic bt Half!—Mr. Bowden, member of Con
gress from Alabama, addrosaiog some of hie country cooetitu
