[communicated.] Rock Spring, Walker County, Ga., i March, 25, 1856. ) ,?.*SS Gardner—Sir.’ As I have seen no notice - rear paper, which I read weekly, of the probable ; 3 .; ire of the incoming wheat crop and thinking it iv be of some use to you as a guardian of public ■ -it, I send the following communication, as the -ul: f quite an extended visit and observations, which I have just made in and through several of t wheat growing counties in upper Georgia. My opinion has been greatly strengthened by the judgment of many of our most experienced wheat farmers. Our best land, especially for wheat, is Post Oak and Hickory timber on black calcareous loam, light, loose and friable under the plow, dark red s'ib.-oil. On this class of land our great crops of wheat has generally been made—last year such land turned off from twenty-five to thirty-six bush" els per acre. The hard freezes of the past winter seems to have turned and returned this light spongy soil, or " and over, until everything has been ejected to -urf.ice. Grain, root and stalk, in our strong leraacular, is “spewed nut ” and is seen, on close (•lamination, lying on the bare naked soil, some «:i!i Hanging to a tew hair-like rootlets nearly dead, u! mostly entirely dead and dried up; a few good bunches only to be found, favored by a clod or turf. A few places under the protection of some hill or heavy forest trees, looks a little better. Our wheat fields, that will ordinarily hide a rab bi: bv Easter, look now like they were just plowed fr -. ■ >ver, so naked and bare. Some localities on s.iif clayey soil may do some better, but as this class of land is generally very poor, we cannot rely ~a it for more than a half crop in our very best wheat years. Some of our farmers are now plowing up their wheat to plant corn. 1 think in less than two weeks th -i will be a pretty general thing, as under the in caralion of high prices last fall, our best lands it ■ laid down in wheat, the farmers being stimu lated with the impression that “John Bull” would i nit -h American biscuits, several years before the "itreat Bear” was sufficiently gored to “give in.” Bat the sudden peace and the sudden fall in wheat •. xr. 0.-d a magic power in knocking down air astles. We are fated to be always on the •; the cry being now, “corn and meat for sr army, while vve straighten out cousin Johny’ A.i > . t argument in favor of plowing up bad (lands of wheat—and, no doubt will operate with tilling effeef on the present crop, is this : “Thin j la wheat is always destroyed with the rust.” The liui - wheat left on our fields has made no growth tins spring—everything is still cold and winter- Hko. Could the wheat even now start, it must be three weeks behind its usual time of ripening, it 1 g fearfully thin on the ground, must, by a law ■f its nature, make a long and desperate effort to til! up the vacant spaces, thusexhausting its energy an 1 ile aying its time in making new tillers instead of perL- -ting and ripening the first shoots as a go; island of wheat should do, this will keep it i Lack two or three weeks more, thus making it live or six weeks behind time. Now, as the rust at tacks oar wheat one or two weeks before our usual time of harvest, it will require no extraordinary r • U of intellect to see the danger of risking et' ii one week too lc.te, much less live or six. 1 am offering my incoming crop at live bushels jn acre —last year I made from twenty-five to thirty'jbushelsjpcracre on the same plantation. The field, will be worth something for pasturage, but I have tin idea that 1 shall make the seed. I have teeu w than mine in four or five counties. “In a wort]," we are fullv of the opinion, that the in rniuig wheat crop is a “dreii-J failure.” Yours, respectfully, P. From the X. V. Tribune. Food for the Sick. What shall 1 eat I How often this question is asked by the sick, or those with delicate appetites. Nature demands food, but the appetite does not - rave it, and the mind of the feeble invalid cannot lix upon anything that he will relish. It may roll -ve sum sufferers to point out a few - iltabio article.-; of food, such assure easily prepar ed, and usually tempt delicate appetites. " Here is one particularly New-EnglamUsli : “Cut some codfish to bits the size of a pea, and boil it a minute in water to freshen it. Pour off all ib“ water, and add some cream and a little pepper. " r lit ind toast a Boston cracker, and put the above in it. Milk and a little butter may be used instead of cream. " iiam or smoked beef may be prepared in the same way. For a variety, beat up an egg and stir it in, instead of cream, or with the cream. “ Tiies preparations are also good for a relish for a family for breakfast or tea.” Another excellent dish for sick or well, and eco nomi al withal, is made by taking a few cakes of pilot bread and soaking them till partially soft, after breaking them into mouthfuls, in just water enough to be all absorbed ; then cut a slice of fat silt j .rk into very small pieces, fryitcrisp.Jpour it over the bread, and heat the whole in a stove or oven, or in a spider. Another plan is to pour over the bread a sweet ened butter gravy, or wine sauce, or the juice of stewed fruit or preserves. All are good. A very excellent food for dedicate stomachs may be made by sweetening water, cold or hot, with reined sugar, and crumbing into it stale bread. Bread and cider used to be a favorite tood in Yankee land, in old tint v Sweeten the cider, and crumb into it toasted bread. -f tea is very nourishing, if righiy prepared, fuse perfectly lean parts of fat beef, cut it into tbes half an inch square, and soak it some hours n cold water, and then boil all together for an hour. Aou may improve this bv adding a toasted cracker ou each bowl-full. Mutton or chicken tea should be made in the tame way, and rice may be added to either, to nuke it food as well as drink. Sometimes a piece of codfish or a slice of fat 'alt pork, roasted upon live coals, will tempt a con valescent appetite when nothing else will answer. la making porridge of corn or oatmeal, be care ful to cook it well. Don’t think it done till it has boiled an hour. Rico gruel does not need so much cooking. It 'hould not be given to a person of constipated habits. Simple boiled rice is a delicate food for the sick. Arrmvroot, tapioca, farina and corn starch, are all of the same character—highly concentrated food. A good gruel may he made of either, and fiea.r 1 with sugar, nutmeg, lemon, Ac.

T°the Editors of Xewspapers in the United States: Ihe American Woman’s Educational Assoeia ■ U( ’ n , IS . an organization of ladies, (with an incorpt rated board of gentlemen co-operating with them to promote improved modes of Education, especial lv in reference to their own sex. They aim to di rect more attention to the distinctive duties of wo man as the educator of the mind, the guardian o early health, and the conservator of domesticecou om v and the family state. They are led to the present effort bv a painfu conviction that the customs of domestic life anc the modes of education during the present c’entu ry have induced a universal debility of constitution and m consequence, a decay of national health especially among women. a 1 'u bel j eved tllat th ese evils can be remedied and that the first step must be to set forth to all the P«tpl« these evde and the remedy. The only medi um for attempting this is the newspaper press. It is therefore proposed that this notice and four short articles, prepared by one of the ladies of tin association, should be admitted into all the news papers of the land, and that the editors direct spe cial attention to them. These articles will be beaded “Health for the People,” and will contain a brief statement of those changes in our domestic habits and modes of edu cation that have tended to destroy national health, the evils thus induced, and the remedies for these evils. The Board of Managers for the Association in whose behalf this request is made, embraces mam of the most distinguished educators and authores ses in our nation, such as Mrs. Sigourney Miss Sedgwick, Mrs. Kirkland, Mrs. Hale, Mrs. Conan t, Mrs. Ricord, Mrs. Stowe, and others. The undersigned, in behalf of this Board, asks the favor above indicated of all the editors of this nation. Very respectfully, Wm. L. Parsons, Cor. Secretary and General Agent of the American Woman’s Educational Association. Causes of the Decay of National Health. Two things are generally conceded, viz: Thar the American women are not as healthy as the European; and that the present generation, espe - Tally the women, are not as healthy and vigorous as former ones. What are the causes ? Not our dimate, for that is the same as it was when the women of this country were as healthy as the English, Scotch and Irish, and when both sexes were as vigorous as their ancestors or any other people. The change, then, must be owing to changes in our domestic habits and modes of education. Some of these will now be indicated. Nothing so certainly deteriorates and under mines tiie body as habitually breathing impure air. The open fire-places in kitchens, parlors, bedrooms and workshops, secured to our ancestors pure and cool air. But at the present day close stoves and close sleeping-rooms, with no "proper ventilation, are debilitating perhaps nine-tenths of the people, while children are crowded into schools heated with stoves, and almost never properly ven tilated. Four-fifths of all the food and drink taken are thrown off through the lungs and skin. Every pair of lungs vitiates one pint of air at every expi ration. That is equal to one hogshead of air each hour for every pair of lungs. No room, then, can be properly ventilated that does not receive from without at least one hogshead "f air for eve///pair of lungs. This is always se wed by open fire-places, but by a stove almost ] never. Thus it is that the greater part of this gen- i •ration have had every bodily tissue nourished by i iinperfected blood, thus inducing a delicate or fee- : ble constitution. A second cause of debility is the waste of vigor- | ous exercise, especially the muscles of the arms j ■old trunk. In former days the children worked , with their parents in pure and cool air for several ! hours a day, and thus exercised the muscles most i important to health, especially to female htaUh. But these'{daws, school children, especial! v the 1 youngest girls, have little vigorous exercise. And I where exercis is demanded, a walk of a mile or two is deemed sufficient, while the exercise of the muscles most important to health is entirely ne glected. Thus both sexes, but especially that on whom depends the constitution of the children, ice every year becoming more delicate and sickly. The third cause of national debility is a change from a simple to a stimualting and luxurious diet. Stimulating food provokes an unnatural appetite. V great variety tempts to excess. Both combine to overload the organs of nutrition, and the whole "rganism is strained and overworked to throw off the excess. The more food we eat and the richer it is, the more exercise is needed. But, instead of this, the people constantly are eating more and exercising : less. Meat is the most stimulating food there is, i and there is no other nation on earth where all classes devour such quantities of meat, fat, butter, sugar, molasses, hot cakes and hot tea and coffee. And no nation on earth have such bad teeth and every other indication of a debilitated constitution. A fourth cause of national debility is excess in stimulating the brain, unbalanced by exercise and recreations. Fifty years since, to read, write and ipher were all that was expected out of the Col lege course. No daily drilling in hot school-rooms m all manner of sciences, with evening lessons at home. No Sunday lessons, no books for children U every turn, both Sundays and week days. There is fifty times as much intellectual stimulus of the brain in childhood as was ever known iu former generations. Then the care, business and excite ments of all kinds, for both men and women, have increased at an equal ratio. Everything is going on at high steam-pressure. Now the more the brain is tints stimulated, the greater the need for pure air, exercise, and seasons of relaxation. But contrary to this, the more the brains of children aid adults are stimulated, the less pure air atid ex ercise are secured. And so the nervous system is exhausted, and the whole organism becomes deli cate or diseased. To use the words of a medical writer, “the constant exercise of the brain takes up the chief strength of the system, and consumes it in feeling and thinking.” Another cause of general debility is the fashions off male dress. The •••••' :ys of our ancestors were trifles compared with the accumulated enormities that have been practised on the female form during .lie last twenty years. The thin covering for the up per portion of the spine and vital organs in cold •weather, the accumulation of clothing on the lower portion, the pressure of tight dresses around the waist, the pressure of whalebones in pointed waists, ind the '-ght as well as the heat of the enormous mass of clothing resting on the hips, all these combin ing with delicate constitutions have produced, and are increasingly producing, the terrific results that are but little known or understood. Fashion. —“Come,” said the gay Miss Light heart to her friend Miss Easy, one fine Sabbath morning, “let us go to church and see the latest styles; the most fashionable class of society al ways go there to church. And then Rev. Mr. is so popular and preaches such sermons; you will be delighted. And sure enough, Paris has export ed her very latest styles and had sent her repre sentatives to church as advertisements. The sanc tuary was full of dress and beauty. And oh, how all the dc-VMUt creatures did scrutinize and quiz and -can bonnffs, dresses and furs, until indeed, some ' of them lost their places in their prayer books and even forgot their prayers in their endeavors to ! comprehe nd’person and changes in style since last I Sabbath, and what was most admired. The Rev. I Mr. preached an admirable sermon, hut ma j u v of his hearers, during service, were cutting pat i terns, selectingsainplesandgettinggood fits. After 1 the sermon, a collection was taken up to aid our ! city poor. There was quite a commotion in the pockets for a few moments—rustling of paper, jingling of small silver and the dull chink of cop per, constituted quite a money-harmony not at all • discordant to the ears of bearers of the bag. One | collector was obliged to stop some tunc at one rich j slip until the gentleman could take out his wallet, and turn over his money to find a levy for the oc casion, and one remarkably generous fellow liked j to have knocked the bottom out of the contribu- I tion box by throwing in a copper coin. ’The closing piece by the choir was exquisite, : and several ladies bowed compliments to members ; of the orchestra, notwithstanding it was Sabbath j day. Quite a number was heard through the ! house, “how beautiful.” And so the choir seemed ! to think, as was apparent from their complacent • smile. It was indeed quite fashionable. The bene j diction, and a sort of retreat from the organ, sent I the audience on their way. It was interesting to ! hear the current remarks as they passed along, ; mingling with their greetings and salutations, j “YViiat an awful long sermon,” said Miss Grace i ! less; “he preached more than half an hour by my ; watch.” “()li, did you see that lady in blue silk, in Squire Wayside's pew ? What a little love of a | bonnet she had on ; she got it at Mrs. Goodlit’s shops.” "How awful Mrs. Lace looks in that plaid with such trimmings. I wonder if Mrs. Sobermind ! I hasn’t lost a friend; she was dressed in mourning.” ' Thus they went ou discussing fashion, instead ol I preaching, until the pastor’s sermon, text, and all i momentary impressions, ran into hats, bonnets, - ttresses and almost every thing else save leligion , Monday began with a race for the shops, each gay I iadv intent on an outfit, in later style, before an other Sabbath. Merchants could hardly realize i what had given such an impulse to business, unti [ j thev learned that several ladies appeared at churcl ’ i n the very latest Pans,— halt.

From Le Follet. Spring Fashions. No sooner do the elegant materials for winter begin to lose their attraction, than spring novelties appear. The moires antiques, with their rich and varied shades, produce charming costumes, in good taste j at ail seasons. Those with broad stripes and de signs are the most recherche for visiting and promenade toilettes. The droguet, which can also be worn in all seasons, is equally beautiful, either plain, broche, spotted with black, or in small de signs. The grog de tours, of china rose color, malachite green, or French blue, with arabesque patterns, brooches in black, is also much admired. Then comes the magnificent taffetas, with pattern flounces in velvet or plush, also iaft’etas with stamped velvet stripes. Velvet has for several years been associated with taffetas for summer toilette, and is exceedingly elegant. Velvet, mixed with blondes, tulle, or crape, will be worn for spring bonnets. Among the newest styles are the white terry velvet, blonde or taffetas, covered with tulle embroidered in silk. Elegant bows are placed on each side, substituted some times by bunches of small feathers, or a single leather, ala Buridan. A small lilande fall, turning back and forming graceful folds at each ear, com pletes this beautiful and becoming bonnet. Walking dresses are simple in their style. They are composed of black taffetas, with flounces, or of fancy materials, such as droguet, velvet composed of wool and silk, chains in checks or fancy stripes. Moire antique, Lyons’ poplins, and plaid silks, are worn for full walking dress. The bodies are made quite high, and very much trimmed with hanging buttons or fringes. In plain materials, the skirts are always ornamented with flounces; but the moire antique or figured silks are made with plain skirts. The sleeves are made with four frills, or plaid at the top, and finished by a puff and two frills Some dresses are ornamented up the front with bands of velvet, ruches of ribbon, or fringes, which are continued on the front of the body. Basques are still worn on walking dresses. Some taffetas dresses are made with flounces of two colors —black and blue, violet or black, or any contrasting colors; but great taste is required in the selection. Black velvet dresses have for some time passed into neglige, yet they are still sometimes worn. Children’s dresses arc but the miniatures of their mammas’; that which serves to compose the toi lette of the latter is equally appropriate for the for mer. Kilkenny Cats.— One of the beautiful swans on Gosfield Lake, Essex, belonging to Samuel Courtauld, Esq., was seen floating dead. On being drawn to the shore, it was found that it had been engaged in mortal conflict with a monster pike. The pike had swallowed the head and neck of the swan, and being unable to disorge it, both had died, and were found thus linked together. Albany, March 25.—1 n the case of the People vs. Toymba, Brooklyn, the Court of Appeals has affirmed the judgment of the lower court, which was adverse to the constitutionality of the search and seizure cause. In the Buffalo case- the Peo ple vs. Wynhamer, in which judgment was ren- I dered by the lower court in favor of the constitu- j | tionality of the prohibitory principle, the Court of , ! Appeals has reversed the judgment, thus declaring f i n ot only the search and seizure clause, but even | | the general principle of prohibition, unconstitu- | tional. CITY SHERIFF’S SALE.

FARRELL’S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT S’S well known to possess the most wonderfully . healing, penetrating and stimulating properties, and by ils promptness in effecting cures, which previously had resisted all other medicines, ad ministered by the most scientific physicians, lias placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in troduced to the people of the United States. It stimulates the absorbents to increased action, and thus enables nature to throw off disease —it pene trates to the hones, adding strength and activity to the muscles—it is powerfully anodyne and thereby allay* torcous i notation, producing a delightfully phasing sensation through the whole frame. ' Owing to its remarkable anticeptic properties, it purifies and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal; it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy cure. This Liniment from its penetrating and strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe cific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswellings and diseased joints, and in fact all coraolaints invol ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing, and affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the patient could not walk or stand without artificial support. Numerous eases of Palsy have been cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing but the dried skin and bone, and the limbs totally without use or feeling. For Children, with Croup it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest it never fails to give relief in the severe Coughs at tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. It heals wounds speedily—will cure Scaldhead, Mange, etc. Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Stiff Joints, Sweeney, Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or Galls, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc, Ljiok out for Counterfeits ! The public are cautioned against another coun terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil effects. The genuine article is manufactured only bv 11. G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois, to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad dressed. Be sure you get it with the letters H. G. be fore Farrell’s, thus —H. G. FARRELL’S—and his signature on the wrapper, all others are counter feit. Sold bv HAVILAND, RISLEY A CO., W. H. A J .TURPIN. N. J.
