Energy in Adversity—Some live not only
to see earth in its vanity but to experience
years of misfortune Adversity and care
have faded from many a fair cheek the
rose tinges of health, and bowed many a
manly form beneath the weight of their
oppressive burden. Unfeeling as the
world is, they have been left, no matter
of what merit, to toil almost in vain, amidst
the glitter of wealth and the sunbeams of
surrounding prosperity. Many minds are
so gently and delicately constituted, that
they yield easily to the wintry blasts of
disappointment and the blight of faded ex
pectations. While this may show that
they have hearts of keen sensibilities and
refined emotions, it proves also, that phys
ically and mentally, they are not constitu
ted to buffet the angry waves of fortune, or
have cultivated and strung to an undue
extent, those delicate chords of soul which
yield melody to the breath of happiness,
aud wail to that ofmisfortuue and sorrow.
While it is pleasing to see in any one the
emblems of sensibility under danger, diffi
culty and misfortune, it is admirable to
show a true heart, a sustaining energy, and
an unconquerable spirit. He who displays
energy in adversity is far more certain of
receiving the substantial sympathy and
encouragement of the world than sympa
thy and encouragement of the world than
lie who sinks under the sweep of the
tempest. The man who defies the rage of
the storm, who looks upon its approach
with an unblinking, steadfast eye, whose
spirit never yields, though the body may
be crushed to the grave, is apt to excite
admiration and sympathy, and may tri
umph over apparently insuperable dan
gers. But the proud spirit of man should
rise in dignity and unbroken strength,
though adversity and poverty and neglect
should surround it—though even human
love itself should falter in its idolatry.
‘Heaven helps those who help them
selves.’ But Heaven will help only those
who do right. Integrity, energy, and a
proper dependence upon the Supreme
Ruler of the world will give the talisman
«>f success, and scatter disappointment,
misanthropy and despondency, like mists
before the morning sun.
If then the spring flowers of hope have
seemed to wither along your path, if antici
pated success and triumphs have vanished
-1 TYord To Boys.—Boys, did you ever
think that this great world, with all its
wealth and woe, with all its mines at.d
mountains, oceans, seas, and views, with
all its shipping, its steamboats, railroads,
and magnetic telegraphs, with ail its mil
lions of men, and all the science and pro
gress of ages, will soon he given over to
the hands of the boys ofthe present age-
boys like you, assembled in school-rooms,
or playing without them, on both sides of
the Atlantic? Believe it and look abroad
upon your inheritance, and get ready to
enter upon its possession. The kino-s,
presidents, governors, statesmen, philos
ophers, ministers, men of the future, all
are boys, whose feet like yours cannot
reach the. floor, when seated on the benches
upon which they are learning to master
the many sylables of their respective lan
guages.
Boys, be making ready to act well your
part. Become good scholars. Read only
what is instructing. Spend no time wijh
novels. Study science and government,
and the history of the world. Study agri
culture aud mechanism. Become as near
ly as possible perfect in the occupation you
may choose. Learn prudence and self-
control. Have decision of character.—
Take the Bible for your guide. Become
familiar with its teachings, and observe
them. Seek wisdom and prosperity from
your Heavenly Father. As you grow in
stature, in bodily strength, and in years,
grow in piety, in intelligence, in caution,
activity, in firmness and in charity. As
pire to he of the noblest character. Re
solve to he useful, and we tiust you will he
happy. Cherish the feeling that you were
born to receive gcob and to do good. Be
manly in spirit and act.
Turnip Culture At the South.—This
vegetable, like almost every other kind,
requires a different culture in the South,
from that which it gets at the North. Our
winters are so mild, that the turnip in some
of its varieties, will grow through the whole
winter, and the careful cultivator may have
turnips fit for the table every month in the
year.
For the first fall crop, plant the early
white Dutch; sow as soon after the twen
tieth of July, as a season offers to vegetate
the set ds; lor garden culture, sow in drills;
for field culture, sow broadcast. For late
crop, sow the red top, and where tops are
an object as well as good roots, sow the
large English Morfolk. The immense
amount of foliage, with its large succulent
stem, which this turnip produces, should
commend it to more general culture, es
pecially for plantation uses. But of all the
turnips for Southern soil, and Southern
climes, commend us to the Rutabaga; like
all other varieties of the turnip, they re
quire rich ground; lands that have been
trodden by cattle, well and deeply plowed,
suits all the turnip tribe; hut any manure
that is stimulating, well turned under will
answer. Guano answers a capital purpose,
but should he well turned under. Three
hundred pounds to the acre will pay well
in the increased production of roots. The
advantage the Rutabaga lias over all other
turnips, is in the fact that it has hut little
disposition to seed in this climate; conse
quently its roots remain firm and sweet
long after the common turnip has become
pithy and worthless; its tops are also more
valuable, fully equal to the best collards.
We last season took a place of new pine
land, less than half an acre, cowpenned it,
and plowed it every good rain, from April
to July. On the twenty-ninth day of Ju
ly, we mixed a half pound each, of early
white Dutch and Rutabaga turnip seed in
a bushel of plaster, sowed broadcast, and
roled them in with a heavy cast-iron roller.
The first day of September our market
wagon had a load ol fine wdiite turnips in
the market, and continued daily to carry
them, until we had sold one hundred dol
lars’ worth of white turnips, besides sup
plying a large family; as soon as the white
turnips were gone, the Rutabagas took a
start, and were fit for the table and stock
in October; continuing to grow through the
whole winter and spring, keeping in good
order some thirty head of cattle supplying
a large family; preserving all their good
qualities until the first of .May, when, in
clearing the ground fora garden patch, we
pulled some fifty bushels for the hogs.
Now, kind reader, what other crop con
be grown in the soil ofthe South, that pays
as well as turnips? Remember to plow the
ground deep and often, before planting, and
look to it in season, for turnip time is at
hand.

Secretary of the Treasury.
NuppIrmruiaiT ln»lrnciion«, Ac., for Col.
lector* and AMfte«Mor* of the War Tax.
1. The Collector will lay off the Coun
ties of his Districts into as many divisions
as lie thinks right and proper, being gov
erned by the lines which form the militia
beats or Justices’ jurisdiction, (if he have
not done so) and to each division lie will
appoint one assessor. The size and num
ber ofthe division he w ill regulate so that
the work to be done can be executed with
in the time prescribed by the law.
2. Each successor will give five days
notice of some well known place, such ’as
Justices’ Courts or muster grounds, where
he will meet the tax payers of that divis
ion, or part ot division, aud the tax payer
will make his return iu writing, agreeaoly
to the form, a copy of which has been
placed in the hands of the assessor. He
will keep his office at such place one or
two days, as the case may require, and
then visit the place of his next appoint
ment.
3. When the time of receiving returns
has expired, the assessor will give a gener
al notice of the fact through the district
over w hich he presides, so that if that any
one he in default from providential or oth
er good causes, he may call upon him, and
make his returns. The assessor shall
make an alphabetical list of names, which
he will compare with the last Digest of
the Tax of the State, and if he finds there
are other defaulters, he will enter the
name and value of the property last re
turned to the State, and mark the de
faulter for double tax, in such a manner
as will be plain, for the consideration of
the Tax Collector, to whom the full list
must be returned, with all the assessments
complete, by the 1st of December.
4. The assessor will he careful to get a
full w ritten description of the Real Estate
of each party, as that, will probably be
the only property about which there may
be a difference of opinion as to value. All
other articles on the list, the assessor and
the tax payer, it is hoped, may he able to
agree upon w ithout difficulty. Jt is desired
that full and fair justice only may be done
in the assessments of all property.
5. When the assessors have done their
duty and made returns to the Collectors
—which will be on or before the 1st of
December—that officer will keep open
office for twenty-one days, to hear and de
termine all appeals from the valuations of
the assessors, and his decision is final.
Having received and decided on all the
returns, lie will make an alphabetical list
of those returns in a hook which will be
furnished him, entering each article of
property in its appropriate column, and
extending each aggregate in the last col
umn of aggregate value, and the amount
of the tax computed in the last column of
dollars and cents; the columns of each
sheet will be added up and carried for
ward, and so on to the end of the book.
He will make two copies of this book, one
of which he will forw ard me by the 1st of
February, 1S62.
6. As soon as the assessors have made
their full returns, the Collector will count
the names of the persons returning taxes,
and send the number to me, so that it may
reach me as early as the 10th of Decem
ber, if possible ; and by or before the 1st
of January the neeessay books will he for
warded to him. There are no books or
papers to be sent, which it is necessary to
wait for before commencing work; and
you are specially referred to the first
“Instructions for Collectors.” &c., and to
the law which is appended to it, for all
other information. The Chief Collector
earnestly requests that you will make
yourself familiar with all the law upon the
subject, as that knowledge will greatly
tend to simplify the course to he pursued
in your official capacity.
7. When the assessors have completed
their returns to the Collector, he will look
to the latter part of Section 12 in the law,
where he will note the manner in which
they are to render an account of their ser
vice ; the number of days being those ac
tually engaged in their duties, and not
from the time at which they were appoint
ed.
8. The Collectors will not wait for farth
er instructions, books or papers, but direct
the assessors immediately to go on with
the work, and superintend the same.
9. The sufficiency of the securities to
the Collector’s bond may be certified to
by any Judge of the Confederate District
Courts, or Judge of a State Court, or Jus
tice of the Inferior Court, and the oath
may be administered by any of these offi
cers, or a Justice of the Peace.
10. Cattle kept for food or work, or hor
ses kept for work, are exempted by the
Secretary’s instruction, hut any surplus
which is not needed for food or work, but
is to he sold, will he subject to the tax.
11. The oath to he taken by the tax
payer may be admistered by the assessor
verbally, but the written list of property
returned by the tax payer should he sign
ed by him, and the assessor should certi
fy that it has been sworn to. The form
ofthe oath has been forwarded.
The bond must be attested by two or
more credible witnesses, and returned to
the Chief Collector.

ADMINIOTRATIV’E POLICY’.—Questions of ad
ministrative policy have, and probably always will,
distract the public mind, and divide men into parties.
But as regards “Jacob’s Cordial,” the mass are agreed
in one opinion, that it is the best medicine for all oomcI
diseases ever placed before the public.
