f — L iticning I)ispatc|.' AUGUSTA,GA|' Saturday Evening, Jon. ill, ISO*. ______ 1 ...s»! Spirit of llxe Msnlgf Pin*. Th* leader of the CurtsiUulrmtlid this; morning is devoted to a discussion of I “What the South most nt-edßlt is j assumed that the wealth and strength ! cf the Sooth lie in its agricultural re sources. and “so far as these remain in a state of nature., or are developed in a way seriously to impair the productive ness of the land cultivated, the public either gains nothing therefrom, or reaps beneifits of the most ephemeral eharae-1 ter." The following statement of facts is submitted: Ist. The Southern States contain over six hundred million acre! of land.' which, for agricultural purposes, is not! surpassed, and • probably not equalled, j all things considered, by any other equal area on the habitable globe. 2d. All the enclosed land in the South, according to the census of 1850, is fifty-five million three hundred and eighty-four thousand seven hundred and six acres, or less than one acre in' ten. 3d. Experience lias abundantly prov- j ed that negro labor, as employed in the j planting States, is best adapted to those tropical and semi-tropical plants which arc the staple crops of the South. 4th. Experience has also shown that we cannot rely on immigrants from Eu rope to supply labor for the cultivation of cotton, rice and sugar in this coun try '6th. In consequence of the supply of laborers from Africa having been whol ly cut off since 1808, and the great de mand for negro labor in all cotton, su gar and rice growing districts, with the unavoidable high price of slaves, plan ters have been placed in that unnatural and unwise position which renders it more profitable to wear out the very cheap lands of the sunny South, than to maintain their virgin fertility. Had labor, during the -last fifty years, been approximately as cheap as farming lands, or were slaves mnv as cheap as plantations, they could be bought at prices that would enable any enterpris ing man to improve his soil, and thus soon double the wealth and every kind of business connected therewith, in the slaveholding Slates. At the present perfectly abnormal, not to say extrava gant price of good field hands, no one can afford to use slave labor for the pro duction of manure, unless it be in pure ly exceptional cases. As a system of planting applicable to all cotton and com fields, ours is emphatically in a false position. No thoughtful, intelligent man can: survey the old fields from the Chesapeake to the Mississippi, and not bear witness to the fact that there is something fund amentally wrong to southern agricul ture. To right this wrong, is what the South roost needs : and it can never en- . joy lasting prosperity until its citizens have the good sense to find out wherein the wrong lies, and remove it. The wise and good men who framed the Federal Constitution did not and could not, foresee the importance that ■was soon to attach to cotton culture in a part of the United States : nor how indispensable more laborers from Africa would became in the course of time, to meet the growing wants of the civilized world, in reference to our present great agricultural and commercial staple.— Could they have looked into the un known future, and in place of prohibi ting the Importation of slaves after the lapse of twenty years from the adoption of the Constitution, provided for the. suppression of all the cruelties of "the! middle passage," and given to this class of immigrants into the New Wot Id, every needful protection that good laws rigidly enforced can afford, the South would to-day lie worth thr, e times more than it is. Land and labor. would then have borne 'relative prices, i based on equal availability aud sound ; agricultural economy : so that the soil, , rapidly appreciating in value, because 1 , of the abundance of labor to improve! [ it, would have been too useful to socie ty to permit its destruction. Now, the great misfortune lies in the fact that southern public sentiment fails to see, as the people equally fail to feel, the popular error of consuming the natural fruitfulness of the fields which both feed and clothe them. Without laborers to cultivate and im prove the indefinite millions of acres of impoverished lauds, our present prac tice of skinning and bleeding the s. il will not be abandoned for many years. The public interest demands more labo rers in the planting States; ami this in terest should be respected by all parties. The highest statistical authorities at the North estimate each able-bodied adult immigrant from Europe into the free States as worth one thousand dol lars to the public there. At this rate two hundred thousand immigrants nd year, give the North every twelve months two hundred million dollars; worth of imported laborers. Will the! planters and business men of the South fold their armsiu idleness, and say that. t ,■ r the large area of farming lands in this! quarter of a common confederacy, shallj have no benefit whatever from the in-' troductioh of human muscles from abroad? The Chronicle, like ourselves, is sorry i to see that the excellent Company at ! present occupying our Theatre is’ not; receiving the patronage its merits en- ! title it to.

How simple, and yet, ! while it nn-ets the wants of the exhaust-, od animal, how evidently was it j “ made for man ” in all conditions, and in all liis relations. How perfectly is it adapted to the la-1 ■ i:oriug man in his toil, to the young man in his temptations, to the business man in his perplexities, to the scholar! in the exhausting process of thought, and to the statesman as bearing the burthens of public life I How is it adap ted to families, consecrating home, and giving opportunity for family instrun- 1 ! tion : how to communities, as the iudi- 1 vidmilscomposing them are related at 1 i once to each and to God, and as need ling opportunity both for private and-: ! public devotion! How docs it blend j i the social and the religious nature of | I man,)and fit him for a social heaven! j ; How is it related to the Bible, as a hook i | of inquiring study, and to time tor stu I dy ! How dots it connect with the i past, by constantly reminding him of that great event which it commemo ; rates ; how with the future, by its ■ glimpses and foretastes of that heaven which it typifies! Kept as God coni ! manded, it would improve the individ ual man physically, intellectually mo- ■ | rally. In hie social relations it would j | secure purity arid harmony ; in his civil relations, security and freedom. Itj' | would unite man to man, and all men, jto God.

Many a sweet voice and gentle influ ence in the social harmony has thus been lost to the world. Thereis nothing more potent than a woman’s voice, if heard, not in the field 1 (>r the forum, but at home.

It i- i one of the few patent medicines which are now ! sold over the country, that are really what their I inventors claim for them. Wherever it has had j :i lair trial, the result has been precisely n>- Wood predicts. It has never failed to turn the j white hair back to the natural color, where the i directions have been strictly followed, and in ; nun erous cast-!? it has restored the hair upon heads that had been bald for years. Tt is not i pretended that it will make the hair grow in ev- j ery case, but where it fails there is certainly r.t I remedy. The restoration of the hair has beet ! effected in so many instances, where the case i seemed :utterly hopeless, that it is certain y I worth while for all who have lost their hair to • try the experiment of using a bottle or two of!
