tHE WEEKLY OOHSTOUTIOIfALIST fruits in Georgia. \ distinguished literary gentleman of South Carolina writes from the, vicinity of Augusta, to the Carleston Conner : One of my personal objects, tny dear CourJer, In taking my present ramble, in spite of bad weather? and a wintry prospect of ice and Bleet -nd snow—ail of which I did encounter—was to visit the admirable nursery of a gentleman of Georgia, Mr. D. Redmond, whom IJbad fa vorably known many years ago as a successful farmer—famous, indeed, for his nurseries and orchards. You, too, no doubt, have enjoyed freement intercourses with him through the ■naees of the Southern Cultivator, an excellent magazine of agriculture, which, for a . long time, he edited with rare ability. I had first known him through this maga zine Subsequently he became personally known to me, at Redclyffe, the beautiful seat of the late Senator Hammond, on the Savannah river* Here I was greatly interested in his conversa tion in regard to the grape and fruit culture in general of our Southern country, and it occur red to me then that this culture would afford one method, at least, for diversifying the em ployments of our agricultural population—the necessity for which diversification being felt by no'person more fully than myself. The results of the war have rendered this ne cessity more.obvious and imperative than ever. I regard all hopes of successfully employing negro labor—now that he is a freedman-‘-as idle, and in antagonism with the very nature of things. So, at least, in South Carolina, without considering the case of o.ther States. While money is still to be made by the cultivation of cottop, he will be drawn of! to thoie more vir gin soils, which can better compensate labor by Us larger production, and while the Freed man’s Bureau shall continue to exist, no matter under what managefnent, it will always exer cise such a pernicious influence over the negro, as to embarrass the proprietor and employer, and baffle all his best efforts at successful working. At all events it becomes obvious to me that there would be a certain term of abeyance, from five to seven years, from the period, in brief, when the exodus of the negroes from our terri tory shall be completed, or nearly so, to that indefinite period beyond when foreign immigra tion in great numbers shalL re-supply the labors of the country. In the mean time my lands must not, il pos sible, lie idle, nor must I waste time and money in a struggle which J felt to be fruitless, in a vain effort to persuade Coffee to work liouestly lor hjs living, even though his labors should put some money into my pocket. I conceived the idea, accordingly, of going into the fruit culture ; or, at all events, paving the way, and preparing for it. I had large fields, some of them old and worn, and 1 well knew the virtue of trees in the matter of recu perating lands. I had been taught to know’ that nothing better could bo done wifli these old fields than to plant. them with “ Clinton” and “ Scuppernong” vine yards, and Man gum” and “ Shockley” apple orchards. I* knew what fine peaches grew everywhere about me, even with very little care and attention; and! also knew that apples had flourished, in eon tigions grounds, under my own eyes, of a qual ity which would not discredit the orchards of New Jersey or New York. Satisfied that the “ worn out” (?) and gullied hill sides of our middle country are available, in high degree, for fruit culture, I resolved upon the experiment; not for the pleasure of the thing—not for the mere restoration of the land—but with the view to ultimate and large returns of profit. I had seen enough to know that large fortunes, indeed, are to be found in this pursuit by energetic and enterprising young men ; and, perhaps, it is only a becom ing duty with an old one like myself to.help point out the way. Indeed, to use the language of an old and experienced cultivator, address ing myself, “You can hardly speak too confi dently of the frnit growing capacities of the upland and middle regions of the South, or of the profits of the business, whenever it is pro perly carried on. It requires far less capital and far less labor than any other business pro ducing like results.” And, in our equal loss of capital and labor, this is the very sort of occu pation which commends itself conspicuously to our favor and attention. In the culture of the fruit, per se , which is the raw production, yon have also, be it remem bered, not only the inferior art, but the employ ments which follow upon the footsteps of pro duction, which are sources of higher profits still, while they afford more various employ ments to enterprise and art. There is the man ufacture of the fruits into wine, brandy, cider, vinegar, &c., all opening wide avenues and fields to successful industry and intellectual in genuity. Following these manufactures, there are others still, which are suggested by recent ap plications of art and science, such as the drying, desiccation and canning of fruits and vegetables ; employments which require care rather than, capital, and nice manipulation rather than labor. It is enough to make the general suggestion, without going into detail, of these several em ployments, as necessarily following upon the successful cultivation of orchards and vine yards. Having thus stated, as briefly as possible, the views by which I was governed iu making my visit to Georgia, and the opinion which I enter tain with regard to the susceptibilities of our soil and climate, as well as the social necessities which press upon us some vital changes in our industrial policy—it only remains to me to make a similarly condensed report of “ the Georgia Nursery” of Mr. Redmond. At “Forrest Station,” some sixteen miles from Augnsta, on the Georgia Railroad, in that very picturesque and beautiful region known popularly as the “ Pine Hills of Georgia,” I found Mr. Redmond awaiting me. A walk of a few moments took me to his cottage, which is pleasantly situated in the midst of grounds and garden, all In flourishing condition, aid under his thrifty indnstry and good taste, undergoing daily improvements. Here I was hospital ly entertained during my brief visit of a couple of days. 1 strolled all the time when we had daylight, through his ex tensive tracts under cultivation, and studied the plan of the grounds, the mode of culture, the . varieties of fruit, foreign as well as native, and got as much instruction from the proprietor as could be well digested in the tinie allowed me. Mr. Redmond, as perhaps you know, is ex tensively engaged in the nursery , propagation , and orchard planting of all our leading fruits —making the Apple, the Grape and tire Straw berry in particular the objects of his special at- j tention. Os the latter delicious fruit alone he ! sells large quantities, during the season, to the city of Augusta, and by his mode of cultivation he commands a succession of. crops from the j Eame beds, during all the months when they can possibly grow. His nursery grounds cover numerous broad acres ; and, in addition to the Apple, Pear, Peach, Plum, Cherry, Apricot, Nectarine, Quinoc, Grape and other well known fruits, I was pleased to see, growing thriftily in the open air, the Olive, the Jujube, the Pome granate, Fig and other Semi-tropical plants and trees. The Chinese Tea plant—tried success fully, as you will remember, at Greenville* by j the late Dr. Smith—also flourishes here under the judicious management of Mr. Redmond,, who tells me that it is also cultivated success fully now in othCr portions of Georgia,-ns well , the Carolinas ; and counsels that it receive the ' increasing attention of our people. He thinks that it will well reward their culture of it- On looking over Mr. Redmond’s collection of young trees—ail of which seem handsomely i grown and vigorous—l was struck ‘with the \ preponderating numbers of his Apple trees,! especially of the number of jhe varieties efj Southern or purely native origin. It is the l opinion of Mr. R. that the apple is the surest of our fruit trees, and may be more depended on ! than any other ; and that our native varieties are the only sorts upon which we can depend lor our fall and winter supplies. - It is upon this point, I fear, that onr land owners still continue in the dark. Mauy of them, I have found, even among well informed and otherwise intelligent men, who suppose onr climate to be unsuKed to the production of late-keeping apples. They are, according to Mr. R., not aware of the truly delicious quality of such varieties as the “Manguna,”, the “Bache lor,” Ac., and of the longJteeping properties oi the “Shockley,” the “Stepuensoja,” “Tates,” “Nickajack” and others. every occasion to Siihdir readers to-a proper- knowledge of i fVj e frets Which are made known to us by the several distinguished I nn 1- nmintr 1 ’ among wh«*m 1 maj name, aiuug TWUhm summer, of Pomiria whose admirable nursery has furmsh ed?o many thousand cultivators-and Messrs. Van Barer!, White, Berckmuns and others, of Georgia These gentlemen have not only tauebt but shown conclusively, of .what, in the wav of fruit and vegetable productions, our climate and soil are susceptible, As they teach, it is our equal duty and necessity to “read, mark, learn”— and, fruit being -the subject— “inwardly digesL” The published writings of ail of these gentlemen are available to our use, and the nurseries and orchards which they have severally and successfully established, are so many living; beautiful and profitable examples, to prompt ns in the endeavor to do likewise. Mr. Redmond tells me that Irj has discarded entirely from his catalogue, as well as from bis nurseries, all second rate or doubtful varieties of fruit, retaining those only which he lias prov ed to ho the very best, aadsnefi only as lias been thoroughly tested in the-South, These he pro pagates largely to supply ihe.pnblic want and for liis own purposes, as he is even now en gaged in planting onto, large area in orchard and vineyard. An eclectic nursery is one of the needs of our country, and it is this need which Mr. R. particularly-designs to meet and supply. He starts under lair and favoring auspices.. The long lists of mere names of fruits in Northern catalogues serve only to confuse and mislead young beginners, and should be dis couraged among all honest and able Pornolo gists, as partaking of that charlatanism which brings proper arts sometimes to discredit. As a general rule Southern seedling fruit trees should always be preferred by our people, who should also- carefully avoid the too common error of planting too many varieties. I pro cured from Mr. R. a few choice varieties, which I name here for the benefit of those who concur with me in the use to which I propose to appropriate my old fields of apples. Here commended me, among other apples, the Red Astrachrm, the Kentucky Queen, the Magnum, the B chelor and the Shockley. Os Pears—the Madaleine, Bartlett, Belje Lu crative and Duchesse. Os Peaches—Hall’s Early, the Tillotson, Ear ly Crawford, Chinese Cling, George tiro IA Wilson’s September, Nix’s Late, Cherry’s No vember. / Os Grapes—the Clinton, Concord ami Scup pernong. - Os Strawberries—the Wilson’s Albany, Long worth’s Prolific, and Triotnphede Grand. 1 trust that onr thousand young friends who ! possess old fields, but no hands to work them, and no capital sufficiently large with which to engage In the mom expensive labors of the past, will heedfuliy consider what I have writ ten Let me renew my warning that our con dition of abeyance in a comparative state of prostration will, in all probability, continue for seven tears. It is our seven years of famine ! We must not loose this time either to our lands or ourselves. We must coloniie the lands icith fruit trees. We must lorm colonies of our own people in favorite centres, and try what enh be done for the renovation.of our fortunes in the easy labors and the graceful cul ture of fruit and flowers. Not one of the several employments I have counselled, is such as would impair the grace in the movements of a fine woman, or affect the beauty of her cheeks, or even embrown her snowy arms to a degree which would make them unworthy to entwine abont the neck of a noble lover. Argus. • Department of Agriculture, ? Washington, Jan. 25, 1867. $ Sir : Your prompt and active co-operation is respectfully solicited in furtherance of the ob ject of the following joint resolution of Con gress, approved January 11, 1867 : [public resolution—no. 2] “ A resolution to provide for the exhibition of the cereal productions of the United States at the Paris Exposition iu April next “ Resolved , by the Senate and House o f Repre sentatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled , That the Commissioner of Agriculture be, and he is hereby, instructed to collect and prepare, so far as is practicable, and with as little delay as possible, suitable speci mens of the cereal productions of the several States of the Union, for exhibition at the Paris Exposition, and forward the same in proper or der and condition for shipment to J. C. Derby, agent, of the United States Government for the Paris Exposition at New York : Provided, that ft shall require no farther appropriation from the public treasury.” . . An exhibition such as is proposed of the finest samples of the best varieties of wheat, corn and other cereals, ivould command the admiration of Europe, as it would assuredly aronse the pride of all Americans, and I regret that this Department has not been authorized to'make collections for this purpose until the present time. The Exposition opens on the first of April, and collections should be sent in a few days from the reception of this request, to be in season for proper arrangement, packing, for wardiug to New York and transportation to Paris. You will render th£ country essential service by immediate and judicious action in this matter. It is desirable that small packagesof the finest samples of the best varieties of sneh products of your neighborhood should be forwarded, by mail, in packages of two pounds or less, each distinctly marked with the name, donor, local name, and county and State in which it was grown. Such packages, addressed to the Commission er of Agriculture, can be sent without postage from any postoffice iu the Uoited- States. As will be seen, the resolution makes no appro priation for this pnrpos* ; therefore, parcels should not be sent- by express in any case, un less at the expense of communities represented. Very respectfully, Isaac Newton, Commissioner. Geology. Editor Air Line Eagle : One of the most singular geological productions is found in Lincoln county, Ga., called Graves Mountain, about 300 feet high and one mile long. It is composed of a vast mass of itacolumite, thickly embedded with ehrystals of lasulite from to 2 inches in length, and a more extensive body Os titauiferous iron filled with the largest and most magnificent ehrystals of rutile in the world, some of which weigh twelve pounds. Ac companying these are Stella talc, ilminite gold and diamonds. This curious little bill, or mountain as it is called, has been protruded by volcanic action, though the Silurian slates, wliicb oo e?eyy m gold and iron. On toe ea«ft ottßtn is the celebrated Dorn mine which has been so fabulously rich. M. S. Also one other of the most singular freaks of nature in thn. world is foufld in Rabun county, of which- the mass of mankind are totally ignorant. It is, that one of the largest tribu taries of the Ohio and Mississippi has its source east of the Blue Ridge in Georgia. The Ten nessee river rises Northeast of Clayton and in-! terlocks with the Tugulo, a branch of the Sa-, vannah, and runs through* Rabun Gap, where some great convulsion of nature has opened a way for its waters through she Bine Ridge, Which, after traversing a devious route for nearly 2,000 miles, mingle with thq wafers of the Gulf of Mexico; while the waters of the Tugulo rim side ty side for ten miles, and in some places,-but a .few rods apart, and then diverge abruptly, careering over rocks and falls, makfethe awful plunge at Tallulfah. which yearly fixes its sublime terrors and magnificence upon the tablet of tke nmds of her numerous visitors— that picture can never be effaced It was here that the lament*!, the brilliant and the distinguished divine Hawthorne, in an un guarded moment, lost his foolheld and was dashed to pieces. Jsrom here the sparkling waters flow gently onward to ole. ocean, and are lost in its mighty bosom. Many years ago a resident on the Tugulo cut a canal only a few feet in depth, to divert the Tennessee Into the Tugulo to drive a mill, but was stopped by in junction, and nature left undisturbed !
