ADDRESS.
Mr President: —asl flatter mysel orr So
ciety is destined to a long lile, and as I may from
time to time d-sire to say something on the va
rious sub ects connected with agriculture, A wiil,
on the present occasion, commence at what I
consider the true starting point, and begin at the
beginning.
I lay it down as a proposition, sir, that cannot
be success ully controverte t, that any rod every
system of fanning is detective unie s if is found
ed on a correct appreciation of the nature, th«
character, and the constituents of the soil. 1
use the term soil, a- synonymous with earth, and
not in its comm m meaning as applied to one 01
two inches of the earth’s surface.
The soil or earth of the United States, indeer
of the whole globe might with propn ty be di
vided into classes, corresponding to'he prinii
tiv-*, transition, and t rnaiy divisions of u
globe, a°d would be found to contain more o
less of those salts and alkalies pec -.-liar to each
We are here, sir, located in a primitive region
and our soil or earth is made up if th debris o
disintegration of granite, gneiss, mica slau
sienite, atgilite, and the numerous eon binatl
of these. Our soil contain nly a t ace of ca -
careous matter, and «o small a p po; non of ve
getable extract that it must be rega. -led as a poo
soil, lain aware that e have it from high an
thoiity, recently sanctioned by two of our emi
nent citizens before this community, that th
upper part of Georgia, embracing rlabersha
county, is all mines considered, one of the nios
desirable portions of the United States Sir. •

and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. 1 hav.

wherever I have travelled I have made com
parative estimates of the advantages ard disad

this broad assertion.
Clay is necessary to the fertility of ail land, by
its attraction for water a -d the'adhesion with
which it holds it. [lists so great that during
the cost intense drought, s ,di as we now have'

. I have already stated, sir, that the remaining
s half o! our valley lands arc sandy, and I might
l ave said, contain a great excess of sand; for I
do not know one plantation on Soque or Tugalo
i when there is not a great demand for clay, to in
i crease the fertility of some parts of the farm;
and 1 am convinced the owners of farms could not
1 expend m ney and labor so advantageously in
any other way to increase the productiveness of
1 their land, as the transposition of clay to sand,
1 and sand to clay. Let the experiment be tr ed on
- five acres and I shall f hen fee! satisfied it will be
a on five thousand Is there a man present who
- cultivates a garden, and who ex< raises Ids judg
ment in its culture, but knows that the additi- n
i of clay gives cohesion to sandy soil, and that
i sand an. gravel, uhen mixed with a day soil,
a diminishes its tenacious property ; and that 'htse
e changes, 'huseflected, permanently increase the
productive powers of both It' the opinion ad
- vanned by most of the writers on agric Iture be
- correct, (and I think they are sustained by exp- -
- rieu e.) that the productiveness of a soil mainly
1 depends upon its nat ral or artificial cat ability
t cf retaining "nd transmitting mo sture, by s he
> agency ot which nourishment is conveyed to
J plants, the necessity o! adding clay to sand,
r and sand to i lay, whenever there is a deficiency
, of either, cannot be controverted. And hence the
r necessity, in all our eft’ >rts to improve a poor soil,
to examine j in connection with one that is iieh.
t If the cause of sterility be owing to some de
y feet in its constituent parts, such detect could be
i remedied.
We are here, sir, surrounded by beds of iron
! ore in even direction, and many of our soils may
- contain such quan t; ties of suiphab oi iron, as to
, be highly injmious; and when ver that is tire
case, the use of lime is indispensable; but or the
s«bj- cts of lime, tillage, manuring, and hill-side
r ditching, I may says nnething hereafter. From
» what I have said, in attempting to point or t the
- natural defects oi some of our sobs, and the
, method of permanently improving them, I hope
-i! wi I not be inferred that I consider barn-yard
and stable manure as superfluous. No one ap
- predates their advantages more highly than 1
{ no; but as 1 have now detained you too long,

< Talking vs. Doing--Remarks on the Past——
Hints lor the Future.
No argument like mailer of fact is,
Aml u-e are best of all men led lo
.Men's principles, by what they do. —Hudiiiras
As.-em Hacchein, in his celebrated letters to
Mustapba Rub-a-dub Keii Khan, was right
. when he said we were a nation of talkers —a
body politic of slang-whangers. And we of the
Sooth, good men and true as we may be, and
right sore upon this subject as vve are, must eon
less ttie fact, that we are a wondrous people,
lor raising a tempest in a tea-pot. A few years
aco when cotton leil flora 618 to SB, what a
>ensation was produced by it. Trie country
was mined, ail ctied alo 'd. Nobody could
siand it—to grow cotton ai 8 cents was ruinous
to the planters. It was sheer nonsense to talk ol
competing with the West on our worn out lands.
Emigration was ail the rage, and thousands
moved westward and buried their fortunes.
Others staid at home and talked of Reform.,
Economy and. Patriotism.
Agricultural Societies sprang up everywhere.
Ncwspap* rs teemed with ; \gt icuitural essay -,
Speeches were made—committees appointed,
and premiums offered : and now it was as plain
as the nose on a man's lace, that cotton could
not be grown on our exhausted iao Is at 8 cents.
We must reform—we must improve our soil -
we must sow grains and grasses, and raise » ur
•) 'll sloca. 1 his immense drain of oui capital
by ihe West must be slopped. And, like Alad
d in - * la mo, all tlic.-e things were to be done like
magic. It was lobe done in a moment. Vv\
could never wait for each icioim to be effected
gradually—it must be “ Presto—change.” or
not at all.
Short horns and Ayrshire's, Dorks inn -. Wo
burns and Graziers were in great demand—von
could hear of nothing else. And our Yankee
anu Western brethren, who ate always on the
watch, to pick up suckers threw out their bait
end we were “eotcht.” The Northern papers
weie filled with the wonderful properties of
different breeds of animals, the Southern papers
echoed the story—the people ran mad—bit. and
were bitten. It would be a sore sir ject now to
many of us to speak oi the prices which we paid
in those days for the “ improved breeds.”
{: seems inevitable that we areti he taxed for
our experience as well as fur our wares and
merchandize. It is our own fault.
Then we began to make manure lots upon
the poorest, bleakest places we could find, where
in our cattle, poor things, were to be penned up
during winter, resting upon piles of Wei litter
without a shelter to shut out wind or rain.
Manure, such as it was, was made, carted out.
and the work seemed fairiy begun, so far as
talk and the newspapers could g-i, the problem
v as solved —we were made a people, every body
was surprise’, that everybody did’m see it
