    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

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 !
