Thf Importance of au Agricultural Educa
tion.
The following; valuable article we cx-
tiact from the address of Hop. Mr. Bar
ringer. upon a subject of second impor
tance to none other:
“There is another suggestion, gentle
men, w hich 1 desire to make and enforce
in tills connection. Our farmers must not ;
only endeavor to become enlightened by
whatever a true science can teach, as ap
plicable to their particular pursuit in life,
but they ought to educate their children to
become farmers. And more of our <du-
cuted men ought to become tillers of the
soil, and give agriculture their special at
tention. And why should they not?—
Next to that of the sacred desk, no profes
sion can claim a higher rank and digni
ty in the estimation of good men. The
practice of commerce and trade is the
most precarious of pursuits. An immense
majority of those w ho follow it, fail in
their efforts to amass fortunes, or even a
competence. Our learned professions are
being over crow ded and unprofitable to
many: and we all know that politicians
are plenty as blackberries, and many ol
them less useful than this homely fruit.
There is no danger of having too many
farmers—no man lias a right, in justice to
himself or others, to be idle and a drone,
or, to use a more modern phrase, equally
well understood, a “loafer” in the com
munity.
Farming is the “best business” for most
—aud surest for all. The field of agri
culture is w ide enough for tlie exercise of
all our iaculties and talents and tempers
—moral, mental and physical. It is the
most ancient, as well as among the most
honorable of pursuits. Even in the hea
venly luxury and angelic innocence of
Eden—where every tree grew that was
pleasant to the sight and good for food—
Adam was placed by the Lord “to dress
and keep it.” We all know the sacred
histories of liis sons, and of Abraham, of
Isaac and of Jacob, of Moses and of Gid
eon, of TSaul and of David—who wore a
shepbeid’s bag when he went out to fight
the battle of Israel—and Elisha plowing
with his twelve yoke of oxen. Almost
every orator, on occasions like this, brings
out the great Cincinnatus for our admira
tion, to which illustrious name might be
added that of the equally celebrated
statesman, senator and philosopher, Cato,
who wrote one of the best books, of any
time, on farming. All history shows that
tlie nations of the earth, in the periods of
their greatest glory and power, have al
ways been the most agricultural. The
history of Agriculture is the history of the
march of progress, refinement and civiliza
tion. "When it is neglected or deprecated,
the human race retrogrades, and mankind
are not only less refined but less intellectual.
For the cultivation of the earth is most fa
vorable to the development and expansion
of the intellect—inspires a high sense of
moral duty and obligation—of truth and
justice—and inculcates a fervent, pure and
exalted devotion. It is the most necessa
ry and useful of the avocations of men.—
Whatever the change in the social or po
litical world, until nature herself is chang
ed, the tillage of the ground, to some ex
tent or other, must go on. Every thing
depends upon it, political and social order,
the learned professions, commerce, man
ufactures, the mechanic arts, and indeed
there can be no healthful organization of
society or encouragement to its improve
ment, except on tlie basis of a cultivation
of the earth. And yet all are mutually
dependent on each other—the divine, the
doctor, the lawyer, the merchant, the me
chanic, the manufacturer, the shipper, the
farmer himself. The various interests ol
society are linked togetlier, and aie made
to support and sustain each other.
There will alw ays be, to some extent,
absurd prejudices of cue class against an
other. But he can never be a true patriot,
but always an enemy to Lis country and
her best interests, who endeavors to array
tlie poor against the rich, or the rich
against the poor, or any one class of so
ciety against another, in a country like
ours, where all honest labor is honorable—
where the poor and humblest may attain
the highest distinction and greatest
wealth ; and where, thank God and tlie
wisdom which established and secured our
liberties, we have uo “ranks” in society,
aud none but the Due nobility of nature
and of worth. It is a striking fact in the
history of nations, and especially of the
free, that the destinies of empire, have
generally been born and raised in the
country, beyond the temptations and cor
rupting tendencies of large cities, in which
there is a constant tendency to human de
generacy, arrested only by an incessant and
ever fresh infusion of population from the
country, the never failing source from
which they must be replenished.
The rural districts always have, and al
ways will rule this great country. The
lives of our own great men strikingly illus
trate this truth. Our Washington, Jef
ferson, Madison, Jackson, Clay, Calhoun
and Webster, and a blight galaxy of other
eminent names, of the living and the dead,
were all reared in the retirement of coun
try life and scenes, and when full of hon
ors and fame, still loved their rural homes,
where they were proud to live and wished
to die. It is well that it should be so.—
It is to tbe country we may safely look
for all these happy and expanding influ
ences on the character—its energies and
affections, the minds, hearts aud bodies
which fit men to be good citizens of a great
Republic. While agricultural life tends
to localize our affections and make one
love the so’il he owns himself, as almost
any one may do here, it at the same time
increases and enlarges our patriotism, and
makes us ever ready to defend and to die,
if necessary, for our country, our homes
and our firesides.
It is the proud privilege of the farmer,
in the cultivation of the soil, an appropri
ate work lor man, to restore the fruitfulness
and virgin beauty of the ground which
was crushed for his disobedience. As the
tendency of such a life is to make better
men anti women, and better children, how
potent’inust be its efficacy, when the exi
gency may require it, to stem at its very
source the tide of corruption and political
degeneracy, by the moral and religious
inlluences and lofty patriotism which adorn
and dignify the home of the farmer. He
is neither timid or corruptible, or time-
serviug, and with a proper intelligence, he
becomes the surest safeguard of liberty,
and is best fitted to perform all the. duties
of a freeman. Generally content with mod
eration and a competent independence, lie
is more apt to be free from that consuming
and degrading avarice, which is, I fear,
becoming a prevalent evil in the nation.
To gain a competence, hi* is the most cer
tain of human pursuits depending on God
and the seasons, and less on the patronage
of man, than any other. “He sows in
faith and reaps iu joy, and sees good in
every thing.” He is ever gratefnl to Him
who “crowneth the year with goodness
and maketh the clouds to drop their Wit
ness,” who maketli tbe “earth vervplen-
JLL
tenns” and the “valleys to stand thick
with corn, and tbe little hills to rejoice on
every side.”
Educate yonr children, then, and edu
cate more of yonr sons to live in the coun
try and becomefarmer* ; intelligent, skill
ful farmers, able to till the earth and to
keep it. I do not mean that they should
be Professors or Lecturers on farming and
the Science of Agriculture. Mere theo
rists, however valuable their knowledge
in the hands of practical men, rarely make
good farmers, or succeed in any branch ol
practical industry. But I mean they
should have a knowledge, yea, a scientific
knowledge of the business in which they
are to be engaged—know something, yea.
a great deal, about soils and vegetation ;
the qualities of the plant and the capaci
ties of the ground, and learn how to make
“two blades of grass grow where but one
grew before”—to know much of nature and
her immutable laws. Let a sound practi
cal judgment be assisted by an intelligent
use of that knowledge which a well edu
cated and well informed mind only can
give. Let a well directed common senti
be the basis of all action, as it is the foun
dation of all success, whether in Agiicul-
ture or Mechanism, in the learned profes
sions. in the battle-field or the cabinet, in
statesmanship and diplomacy. Genius
may conceive but talent, and knowledge,
and sound common sense must execute and
lead to that success which is the surest
and most infallible test of true ability in
whatever department of life. The great
want of a Republic is pure and good men,
statesmen, who can dare to do right, and
have the courage to rise, when the duty
requires it, above the mere prejudices ot
party, and perform it, regardless of conse
quences to themselves, without reward or
the hope of reward from the vile and de
basing struggle for otlice which so much
marks the present period of tur history,
by which so many expect to live and get
their daily bread, and almost as many fail
in tbe inglorious attempt; that insatiate
passion for place and its emoluments,
which, if unchecked, will so surely and so
rapidly accelerate our downward career
as a free people. Raised to labor myself,
and to respect its honest exercise in all
the callings of life, I am always ready to
honor and dignify it. It is our duty here,
in the South especially, to do so, and cor
reel that false and mischievous notion, so
prevalent at the North and East, that la
bor is not honorable at the South ; an opin
ion which all- of ns know to be untrue.
Agriculture must always be the great pur
suit of this country, and especially of the
South. And what a noble, inviting coun
try for its success ! What high motives
for its improvement! What a soil, and
climate and variety of productions. Ilow
mighty is to be the future development of
this great nation by Agricultural and Me
chanical industry ! It does not take cen
turies of progress here, as it has done in
tbe old world, to attain excellence iu all
the arts of civilzation. We commence,
as it were, the race of progress with all
the wisdom and experience of past ages to
assist and direct us. With our youth aud
energy, with a population of thirty mil
lions, filling the vast area between the
two great oceans of tbe world, and in
creasing at the rate of 37 per cent, in
every decade of our national existence—
with almost everywhere an inviting soil,
capable of every variety of production,
and, in many portions of the Confederacy,
still of virgin fertility—with every good
climate In the world, and very little of
the had—with a genial spirit of education
diffusing light and knowledge everywhere
—with labor-saving machines in every
depart of agriculture and the mechanic
arts, such as man ne\er had before, that
spin, and sow, and plant, and plow, aud
reap, and thrash, and grind, and cook, and
print, and perform the labor’s of man and
beast in a thousand forms, moving like
tilings of life, and taking premiums in the
oiliest countries in the world ; with a
knowledge of science greater than in any
former age, and the wisdom of the past to
enlighten us ; with nearly thirty thous
and miles ot rail road in actual operation,
da} and night, and new routes continually
being projected and constructed; with
the mighty, the magic powers of steam and
electricity upon the land and in the water;
with seventeen hundred mibions of dol
lars, as the present annual estimate of un
manufactured products from our fields and
mines alone ; with governments, Federal
and State, as “distinct as the billows,
t ut one as the Sea,” affording protection
to life, liberty and property, and tbe re
ward of honest industry, extending their
guardian arms from ocean to ocean, from
the frozen regions of the North, to the tor
rid heats of the South, sustained and up
held b} a people energetic, enlightened
and free, with all these and more, what
will be the mighty future of this great
country ? It is not in the vision of man to
see, or his ken to know. The mind is lost
in the contemplation of the vast annual
production which will be yielded, as the
fruit of American labor and skill, even in
The lime of many who are now here be
fore me, to feed and clothe and to supply
with all the necessaries and comforts and
luxuries of life, not only ourselves, bnt a
large portion of tbe civilized woild.
And now, shall we, here in North Car
olina, perform our part- in this great work,
this career of national improvement and
prosperity? Shall we add to our good
name of “honest old North State,” the
high honor and praise due a people deter
mined to avail themselves of all the means
in their power, not only to maintain their
good fame, but to develop their immense
resources and improve their material con
dition ?—to improve their agriculture and
make the State attractive for the beauty
and comforts of their homes and home
landscapes, as she is for the virtues of her
people ?
Shall it be said, that with near seven
hundred miles of railroads, and with more
and better colleges and schools of every
grade, than any of our sister States of the
South, with more than an average extent
of territory, with a capacity of climate and
soil to produce within ourselves, not only
every necessary of life, but every thing
which can contribu'e to its comforts, and
even luxuries, and a large Surplus for ex
port, that we ought to rank as an inferior
member of this great Confederacy ?
I knotv what would he your answer,
people of Mecklenburg, and this fertile
valley of the Yadkin and Catawba. In
sight of the spot where the first declara
tion of American Independence was ever
made, in the preseucc of the descendants
of the farmers who signed that bold and
noble resolve to be free and independent,
and seald it, most of them, with their
blood ; surrounded by so many evidences
of a public spirit, determined to improve
your material condition, and develop the
varied resources of one of the richest por
tions of the Slate, and with a patriotism to
prompt, and an intelligence to dweet how
to do it; yonr colleges, yonr academies
fl ,yJ schools, yonr railroads, and all the
signs qf an active and prosperous industry,
all these answer me that you will do your
whole duty to yourselves, to the State,
and to posterity.
The n.ral mt mm Stwral Lift.
No life has been the occasion of greater
scandal than that of one who has recently
departed and been laid iu tbe Greenwood
cemetery, New York—the celebrated Lo
la Montez. And yet, probably, there is
no woman who lias died within the past
ten years whoso life, viewed as a whole,
has afforded so striking a proof to the re
flective, of the immutability of the laws
ot virtue and the impossibility of finding
any shorter cut to a life of happiness,
even here, than by a right adherance to
them. Her past days and death are said
by those best acquainted with her and
them to have afforded a striking example
of earnest penitence, and the conviction
that such a state aloue could enable one
to euter with a hope on the scenes of
another life. It is with such characters
only, in their relations to this w'orld, that
we have here to do with them. And cer
tainly, if by regarding momentary im
pulses alone, seeking pleasure for pleas
ure’s sake, irrespective of the great laws
of morality and virtue, and one could
have hoped to have attained to happiness,
it was Lola Montez.
In the character of the Countess of
Blessington, with more intellectuality and
refinement, there was a luxurious effemin
acy and weakness that might of itself ac
count for much of the sufferings of her
latter days. She became the slave ot
luxury and indulgence, where Lola Mon
tez took the command. Both were ot
Irish birth, both highly educated, and ot
the most facinating manners, so that in
both the mental and social accomplish
ments they exhibited were their chief
charm. And both exhibited the utter
«retchedness of straying from the paths
of virtue.
But there were in Lola Montez charac
teristics which, but for that one blot,
might have raised her to the very highest
fame. The warmth and fire of the Span
ish race, mixed with the quick wit and
fine constitution of an Irish race, her en
terprise led her to visit every climate, and
there seemed no language in which she
could not converse with the fluency ot a
native. There was nothing weak in her
fascinations. England and India. Spain
and Bavaria, New Y ork and San brancis-
co, Paris and New South YY ales—she
visited them all, and won the regard of the
very highest rank and power wherever
she went. No laws could hind her any
more than any land. Her own will was
the law which alone she recognized.
She would not marry an old judge, bnt
she would run away with a young officer.
Tried for bigamy, she laughed at the law
and was not convicted. Reproached by
one editer in San Francisco, she caned him
in the streets, and then married another in
the same city. Never did a woman so
openly defy all the proprieties ot life, and
seem so completely to conquer everybody
and everything with which she came in
contact.
Yet she brought nothing but disgrace,
destruction, wretchedness and death to all
who had anything to do with her. In
dian military officers were disgraced on
her account, and Lieut. Heald was cut
and obliged to quit his regiment. r l he
King of Bavaria had the University closed
and a revolution brought about, and his
own abdication, entirely on her account.
A Paris editor was shot, and one in San
Francisco had to get a divorce. And she
herself, with powers like Lady Hamilton,
who brought such scandal on Lord Nelson,
died, like Lady Hamilton, such a death as
to prove no courage, no accomplishments,
no powers, or noble qualities, can atone, in
this world, or in any quarter of it, tor the
loss of virtue and innocence in woman.
Cut by one her bounty had educated, she
fell, slain seemingly by paralysis, but really
stung virtually by the consciousness of her
own guilty rnnrsn «nd its wretched conse
quences.
Yet, kindly tended to the very last by
one lady drawn to her by the remember-
ance of school-girl days, and the dictates
of Christian duty, she expressed the
deepest penitence for all errors.

be taken care of by the people of this “ungodly
Democratic city.” It is claimed that these suffer
ing people were driven out by the law of Massa
chusetts, that requires the authorities of that
State to convey all paupers to the State of their
nativity, or, if they are of foreign birth, to tbe pla
ces where they have held the longest residence iu
this country. But, an unnatural ized Englishman
named Thomas Dixon, called at the Mayor’s office
on Saturday last, and disclosed the fact that he
bad been sent here by Massachusetts, where he
had resided for twelve years last passed—that the
hard times deprived him of the means ol living,
and he fell sick, and was obliged to resort to the
Poor House. As soon as he was able to travel,
he was sent to this city, with a large number of
other paupers. He further stated, that they had
not a mouthful to eat on the journey, and were
dumped down in oui midst without so much as a
penny to buy a piece of bread. This is truly a
bright and shining example of Massachusetts
philanthropy. They will break up the Union, iu
their desperate rage to make uegroes the equals of
white men and, al the same time, drive out their
own white poor to fteeze and starve, unless some
body more merciful than themselves has pity ou
them We remember that in the early history of
New England, there is an instance of a poor and
pious Quaker, an old man stricken with the infir
mity ot years, who was driven out from the Pu-
ritau Colony iu the middle of December, because
he was not of the Puritan religion, and left to per
ish in the deep snows of that in!,opsitab!e cli
mate. The poor old man had the good fortune to
reach an Indian settlement, where he was kindly
received, aud when the savages looked upon his
age and sufferings, “they wondered,” says Sewell,
the historian, “what kind of a god these people
worship, who treat their owtt brothers with such
inhumanity!” We know what deity the descen
dants of Massachusetts Puritans worship now. It
is s negro Idol, to which they bow down with in
sane devotion, while they ride with crushing pow
er over the white poor man and the suffering of
their own blood and kin.
