BluiChildbm. Agricultural. The Bainbridge Aigus contains the follow ing hints for Plantation work &c., for this •eeson, which will no doubt prove interesting and instructive to the planting community : COTTOS. Cotton buyers who predicate opinions on I >w prices and large crops, upon the fact of Cotton going to market earlier than common, may find themselves sadly mistaken. Instead •f this being a pressage ot a large crop, it may turn out to bo the reverse, on account of pre mature opening from disease. If the rust is as • uiveraal as reports state, the fact of Cotton fr’iug to market so early, is in reality a confir mation and proof of a short crop. Buyers and apiuners ot Cotton need not be surprised when told that, bolls of cotton half grown, if the stalk he [>ullcd up and thrown on the ground, will •pen and make something in shape of Cotton ! As large fortunes are frequently made, and as often lost, upon the sudden rise and fall of the price of Cotton, these adventurers are admon ished by the signs of the times to take care, as flie present may be a critical period to buy Cotton. Mhould these universal reports be true of the rust in the crop, prices have reached the bot tom, and the next kick will be upwards; but should these reports not be proveu in gather ing the crop, a large, a very large crop is now on baud. There is perhaps another set off •gainst the probability of a largo crop, from the fact that the Mississippi Valley has been submerged under water, involving perhaps a million of bales, Ac. From all the information and light before us, prudent men will be care ful how they <>[>erate, as we believe from eve ry circumstance that a good crop is now mak ing, as much, perhaps more, than was made in either of the two last years. COTTON PICKING. Every planter knows September and Octo ber are the two most important months for gathering this great staple. During Septem ber the [ticking has been much retarded by wet weather, and now no time should be lost. It is of the greatest importance for planters to turn their attention to the keeping the differ ent [lickings in seperatc piles, in showery weather, as the Cotton in the field changes with ouch succeeding shower. The disagreeable ory among buyers about false [lacking arises from the want of this precaution. Many hon est men, for want of keeping the different tdasses of Cotton in as many different pareles, have been charged witn dishonesty, when in reality, they hud no other but honest desires. Till the above advice is put into practice, hard feelings, bickerings and lawsuits will continue among merchants and planters. GATIIKKING CORN. The experience of the writer induces him to state, that the sooner corn is gathered after it « ripe, the more security it has from the dep redations of the weevil. The destruction of •orn in our latitude, by this insect, is perhaps much greaterthau might be expected, and calls loudly for a remedy. The leaves and berries •f the well known China tree —“ ilelia Azedo r'/c”—thrown on the pile from the wagon at oeeh load in tie crib, is a certain preventive. POTATOES —WHEN TO DIO, ETC. This crop must positively be dug in dry weather! It the weather is wet when pota toes are dug, they will rot! HOGS —BACON. Ilogs to do well should be turned into the pea mid potato fields by the last of October, in •rder that they be ready to be slaughtered at Hie right time to cure, and to keep the bacon after curing. The writer has always had that portion of bacon to keep best through the sum mer months, which was slaughtered earliest, say in December and January. He Was a Stkaxgki: to lleu.—Those who Are termed ‘simple minded people’ adopt a cu riously innocent mode of expression, occasion ally, which comes so near art at times, as to render its simplicity doubtful. We heard of a young married couple from the country, of course—who recently attended anexhibitiou of ‘Dissolving Views.’ 'Die bride being pretty, attracted tl>e attention of a styl ish-looking oRy gent, who happened to occu py the same seat with tlic twain. During the exhibition the audience part of the hall being already obscured, by some accident the lights were entirely extinguished. Pending its re covery which occupied some little time, the •ity gentleman (pephaps accidently) gently pressed the hand of the bride who was too much alarmed to offer resistance. This bold act was'followed by a bolder, certainly not ac aidental, for the city Lothario absolutely kiss ed the bride. This was too much, and the young wife resolved to tell her husband, which •he did, when the following whispering collo quy took place: ‘John.’ •What!’ ‘This feller here’s kissing me.’ 'Well,’ said John, who was a little shy of the •itizea, ‘tell him to quit.' ‘No, John, you tell him.’ 'Tell him yourself.’ ‘No, John. I don’t like to tel) him. The gen ieman’s a perfect stranger to me.’ SoMEimso of a (tits.— One of the guns (and •arriage) of the Water-Witch—one of the ves »els of the Paraguay inn Expedition—weighs fourteen thousand five hundred pounds. It re quires ten ponn is of pnwderand a shell weigh ing seventy-six pounds for a “charge.” (Won der if it won't throw a shell 7C miles?) We should like to have control of that Gun just a short time—we would bring a few of our de ■ iuquent subscribers to terms, in double quick •hue. After the clergyman had united a happy uair. an awful silence ensued, which was bro sen by an impatient youth exclaiming, “Don't »e »o unspeakably happy." THE STATE PRESS SUPPLEMENT. THE LITTLE ONES IN BED A row of little faces by the bed— A row of little hands upon the spread— A row of little roguish eyes all closed— A row of little naked feet exposed. A gentle mother leads them in their praise, Teaching their feet to tread in heavenly ways. And takes this lull iu childhood's tiny tide, The little errors of the day to chide. Then tumbling headlong into waiting beds, Beneath the sheets they hide their timid heads ; Till slumber steals away tbeir idle fears, And like a peeping bud each face appears. All dressed like angels in their gowns of white, Tbev re waftod to the skies in dreams of night. And heaven will sparkle in their eyes at morn. And stolen graces all their ways adorn. THE FOBTUNE OF ABD ALLAH -A PERSIAN STO- RY. Abdallah was it prosperous barber of Shiraz, lie married a woman of surpassing beauty, but excessively vain, so that his whole substance was consumed in providing her with dresses, trinkets and the luxuries of a minature ha rem. Above all other women, the wife of Hassan the king’s astrologer, was envied by the wife of Abdallah, the unostentatious barber; for this lady affected great grandeur, and could af ford it, on account ot the large salary and handsome presents bestowed upon her hus band. One day the discontented beauty announced to Abdallah that she would no longer continue to live with him unless he gave up the miserable business of barber and adopt that of astrology. In vain did he represent to' her that trimming beards was his habit, while of astrological pre dictions he knew nothing ; she insisted, and the unfortunate man, infatuated by affection, re solved to obey. So, observing the eccentric practices of the astrologers, he took a brass basin and a pestle of steel into the bazaar, ami smiting his basin, cried aloud that he would calculate nativities, predict the events of the future, detect thieves, and recover lost property. His neighbors were astonished, and one and all said, “ Abdal lah, the barber is certainly mad!” But it chanced that a certain lady returning from the bath walked through the bazaar with her veil torn ; she appeared in great distress, and up on hearing the cry of Abdallah, sent one of her slaves to him with this message: “If you are au imposter, my husband shall cause you to be bastinadoed ; if you are really an astrol oger, inform me where I shall find a necklace of pearls which I have lout this day.” Poor Abdallah, bewildered, gazed upon the lady, and gaining time to invent an answer said:— “She can will the pearls, when they are near, for the veil is torn!” These words were re ported to her by the slave, and she uttered a cry of joy. “Admirable prophet,” she ex-, claimed, “I placed toy pearls tor safety in a rent that is in the veil of the bath," and she ordered Abdallah to be presented with forty gold pieces. Now, it should be known that iu Persian baths are screens, the name of which is the'same as the native word for “veil.”— So Abdallah, by a lucky accident of speech, had not only saved himself from the bastinado, but he gained forty pieces of gold. At length another lady, the wife of the king's treasurer, made her appearance, and just at that moment a messenger from the treasurer came up to Abdallah, in the bazaar, and spoke to him. The lady stood close by and listened. Abdallah,” said the slave, “ my master has lost the king’s great ruby ; if thou hast the wisdom of the stars, thou canst find it; if not, thou art a pretender, and I will assuredly cause thee to be bastinadoed.” This time the unfortunate barber was at his wit’s end. “O, woman!” he exclaimed, “thou art the author of this.” He meant his own wife, but the treasures*, who stood by imagined he referred to her. Guilt is always pale, the poet says. She herself had stolen the king’s ruby, and believed that the astrologer was aware of her crime. So when the messenger had departed, leaving the barber petrified with perplexity, she a|qffoached him and said, in a soft tone —“ O, astrologer! I confess that in an hour of avarice I took the jewel, restore it without sending me to condemnation 1” Ab dallah sternly replied—“ woman, 1 knew thy guilt. Where is thy jewel?" She answered —‘'under the fourth cushion from the door in the apartment ot Kasliom, my lord’s Georgian slave.” Abdallah hastened to the palace, was awarded with a robe of honor, a thousand gold pieces, and a costly ornament, i Urged by his wife, Abdallah essayed once I more. The king’s treasure had been broken open, and forty chests of money had been car ried away. Not a trace of the thieves had been discovered. The royal astrologer had tried every sort of divination and failed, and was therefore in disgrace. But the fume of Abdalliah, which was now spoken of in all Shirez, had reached the ear of the king, who sent for him, and gave him audience in the Hall of Kulnet Serponchideh. “ Abdallah,” he said, with a severe expression in his face, “ art thou truly able to read the stars ?” “Put me to the proof!" answered the barber, who was now prepared for the worst. “ Then dis cover the forty chests of money which have been stolen, as well as the criminal. Succeed, and thou shall marry a princess, and become my minister; tail, and 1 will hang thee!” “There must have been forty thieves!” said Abdallah, making a fortunate and not very dif ficult guess: “Grant me forty days!” “Forty days thou shalt have,” said the king, “and thou shalt then die, or live for riches and honor.” So the barber went home and told hi* wife, and said, “1 have forty days to live; I will sit upon my prayer mat and mediate on the evils of life and the blessedness of death. Give tuc, I beg thee, forty beaus. At tbe hour of even ing prayer, daily, 1 wid give thee one, that, by counting the remainder, I may remember how many days I have to live.” She complied, and every day at the exact hour ot sunset, Abdallah gave her a bean, and said, with great tirmnessand solemnity, “there isoue of them!” And on the last day he said, in an excited man ner, “ there are the whole forty of them !’’— W hat was his astonishment when, at the in stant a violent knocking was heard at the door! A crowd of men were admitted, and one of them evidently, the chief, said, “O, Abdallah, wise astrologer, thou shalt receive the forty chests of golu, untouched, but spare our lives!’' In supreme bewilderment he answered, “ this uight I should have seized thee and thy wretched companions. Tell mo, on thy hea 1, how knowest thou that I possessed this knowl edge?” “We heard,” said the chief ot rob bers, “that the king had sent for thee, there fore, one ol ns came at the hour of sunset to listen at thy door, and heard thee say, “ there is oue of them.” We would not believe his story, and sent two to ascertain it; and thou was heard to say, “there are two of them;” and this night, 0, wonderful! thou didst ex claim, “there are the w hole forty ;' but re store the king's money, aud do not deliver us unto the executioner.” Abdallah promised to d<> what ho could, — ■ Being admitted to the palace, be declared that, I owing to some mystery of the stars, it wasgiv-1 en to him to discover either the thieve* or the ; treasure, but notboth. The monarch, at length, consented to take the forty chests, and fultillad hit promise to Abdallah. MACON, G-jA., THUnsDAY. O("1’OBFI{ 21, 1858. Kansas. —In the midst of the excitement of gold emigration a correspondent writes thus to the Boston Journal from Sumner, Kansas, under date of Septemlicr 20th : “ There is a political movement of some im portance going on in connection with these gold discoveries. It is the formation of a new territory from the western portion of Kansas. The parties in the vicinity of Pike’s Peak, it is said, will, at an early day, elect a delegate to Congress, and send him on to the next ses sion, with a petition for a new territorial or ganization. It is said that a gentleman from Kansas City, who is to start with one «f the trains leaving this week, will return as the em bryotic Congressman. “ The grounds upon which they ask this ac tion of Congress, will l>e that, situated as they are, five hnndred miles from the well settled portions of Kansas, and its seat of government, it will be impossible for them to find any protec tion from our territorial authorities; and that, unless furnished with an organization of their own, mob law must prevail, and they must suf fer from general anarchy. Seven hundred miles, they will claim, are quite too much for the length of a State, where railroads are un known and steamboats impracticable. “ Should a new territory thus be formed, dividing Kansas midway, east and west, it would afford a fine opportunity to furnish clamorous politicians with offices. So large a portion of that tract of country is so barren that it could never lie of much value except for its minerals. But if organized into a territory, it must inevitably become a free State, and, however limited its resources, must claim two seats >n the U. S. Senate. A Merited Comi’l.imhnt to the Administra tion. —Col. Alfred W. Johnson, of Maine, in a sjteech a short time since, paid the present Ad ministration the following deserved compli ment : • I cannot close without saying that I have entire confidence in the ability, integrity and patriotism of the present National Executive. I know the Administration of James Buchan an has been bitterly assailed by many at the North and by the extremists nt the South. I know that our ultra men here say that the Administration has accomplished nothing so far for the good of the nation. I point them with pride to the suppression of filibustering at the extreme South ; the crushing of the re bellion in Utah, without bloodshed; the send ing of a fleet into the Gulf to sustain our na tional honor and to punish insult to our nation al flag in settling the question of ths right of search ; I [mint to the new systems ot econo my introduced into the public service; I point to the admirable foreign policy of the Admin istration, and I challenge objection from the opposition. ▼EB3TBB MATCHED BT A WOMAN. In the somewhat famous case of Mrs. Bod gen’s will, which was tried in the Supreme Court some years ago, Mr. Webster appeared as counsellor for the appellant. Mrs. Green ough, wife of Rev. Win. Greenough, late of West Newton, a tall, straight, queenly looking woman, with a keen black eye—a woman of great self possession and decision of character —was called to the stand as a witness on the opposite side from Mr. Webster. Webster, at a glance, had the sagacity to foresee that her testimony, if it contains*! anything of impor tance, would have great weight with the court and jury. He therefore resolved, if possible, to break her up. And when she answered to the first question put to her, “1 believe,” Web ster roared out, ‘ We don't want to hear what you believe; we want to hear what you know.” Mrs. Greenough replied, “That was just what 1 was about to say, sir," and went on with her testimony. And notwithstanJ his repeated efforts to disconcert her, she pursued the even tenor of her way, until Webster, becoming quite learful of the result, arose apparently in great agitation, and drawing out his large snuff box, thrust his thumb and finger to the very bottom, and carrying the‘deep pinch’U> both nostrils, drew it up with a gusto; and then ex tracting from his pocket a very large handker chief, which flowed to his feet as he brought it to the front, he blew his nose with a report that rang distinct and loud through the crowd- ! ed hall. Webster—'Mrs. Greenough, was Mrs. Bodgen a neat woman?' Mrs. Greenough—'l cannot give you very full information as to that, sir: she had one very dirty trick.’— Webster —‘What’s that, ma'am V Mrs. Green ough—‘She took snuff.’ The roar of the court ' house was such that the future 'defender ot i the constitution’ subsided, and neither rose nor | spoke again until after Mrs. Greenough had vacated her chair for another witness. GUNNING ACCIDENTS. A quondam correspondent at Washington sends us the folloing for the for the benefit of young sportsmen. He says the recent deplor able accident in that city, and a similar one a few weeks previous in Baltimore call for a few suggestions which he gives, viz: “ All the accidents from the use of firearms are attributed to carelessness. Such, however, is not the case. Four accidents out of every five that occur is the result of excessive care, or ignorance. Without claiming for myself ail the knowledge in the use of firearms, little is hazarded in asserting, and you can testify, that few, if any, in this country, have burnt as much guu[K>wder within the last twenty-five or thir ty years as your correspondent. Some little knowledge should be obtained from so much ‘ experience. I may here state that in thirty years’ hunting but two accidents of a serious nature have occurred, both of which may be attributed to excess of care ; or in other words, from permitting the hammer to rest on the cap. Such was also the case in the two accidents referred to above. Previous to the introduc tion of the percussion lock, accidents were rare, simply from the fact that the sportsman was necessarily compelled to keep bis gun half-cocked; and I am not alone iu maintain ing that it is much safer to carry a gun whole cocked than with the hammer resting on the cap. “ I have frequently been saluted with the sage remark < f some sisacre; "Your gun is cocked, sir!” Upon my replying, ‘lt is only half-cocked,’ the rejoinder was, rather ad monitory than interrogatively, 'ls it not dan gerous ?’ "A gun should always be carried at half cock, unless in the immediate pros|>ect of a shot. At such time it should be whole cock ed, with the muzzle elevated. Accidents are quite as liable to occur from hastily cocking a gun as from premature discharge while wholly ■ cocked; but there is no excuse for permitting j the hammer to rest on the cap. Should the gun be empty keep it half-cocked, for, in addi- I tion to acquiring a habit of safety, the gun is less liable to miss fire when re-loaded, which miss-tire is occasioned by the condensation in the barrel settling in the nipple. The hammer prevents its drying, and rust and miss-tire is the consequence.” A writer gives the following advice to wives: ‘•Should you find it necessary, at you undoubt edly will, many ot you, to chastise your hua- j bands, you will perform this affectionate duty with the soft end of the broom!" Humorous. Con Amokb.—A gentleman speaking of the marriage of Lord D. and Miss E., expatiated con amore on the lady’s beauty and elegant form, and praised as liberally the good nature of his lordship. “ Then,” said Butler Danvers, “ the worst thing they oould do was to marry. It will epoil the ehape of the one, and the tem per of the other.” “ Why is it,” asked a Frenchman of a Switz er, “that you Swiss always fight for money, while we French only fight for honor?” “I suppose,” said the Switzer, “ that both fight for what they most lack.” A cotemporary says', “ There is a man up in our country, who always pays for his paper in advance. He has never been sick a day in his life—never had any corns or the tooth ache— his potatoes never rot —the weevil never eats his wheat—the frost never kills his ,corn or beans—his babies never cry in the night, and his wife never scolds!” A Trial.—What is your name? My name is Norval of the Grampian Hills. Where did you come from ? I came from the happy land where care is unknown. Where are your lodgings now ? I drempt, I dwelt in marble halls. Where are you going to ? Far. far o'er hill and dale. What's your occupation? I [day on • harp of a thousand strings. Were you ever married ? Once upon a time. When were you married t Long time ago. What’s your wife’s name ? Polly put the kettle on. Did your wife oppose yoitrleaving home? She wept not when we parted. In what condition did you leave her? A rose tree in full bearing. Is your family provided for ? A little farm well tilled. A corsetmaker ont of work, was heard to lament—“ Shame that I should be without bread I, who have Stayed the stomachs of thousands!" “What was the use of tha eclipse?" asked • young lady. “Oh it gave the snn time for reflection,” re plied a wag. “Alice,” said one girl to another, “I am so glad I have no beau, now.” “Why, Lis?” “'Cause I can eat as many onions as I please.” “\jy wife.” said a wag the other day, “came near calling me honey, last nigt." “Indeed, how was that ?” “Why, she calles! me old Bees wax!" “Now,” look here. Charlie, Jim mout be an honest nigger, and then again he inout'nt, but it I was a chicken, and knowa'd he was about the yard, I tell you what, nigger, I'd roost high, I would.” “I say Sambo, can yon answer dis conunder uin: Bpose I gib yon a bottle of whisky close shut wid a cork; how would you got the whis ky out without pullin’ de cork, or breakin’ de bottle ?” “I give dat np. "Why, push de cork in, ya, yah.” “Oh! Ma, look out yonder at Pa,” said a lit tle girl four years old, the other day. “What is he doing honey?” “ile i^giving Mrs. Breakheart a tine new dress.” "Yes, and I’ll give him the porker too,” said the enraged mother. "Boys,” said a pedagogue the other day,— “what is the meaning of all that racket in the school ?” “It is Bill Sikes, sir, who is imitating a lo comotive.” “Come up here, William; if you have turn ed into a locomotive it is high time you were switched off!” The postscript in a letter to the Maripossa Gazette gives unquestionable evidence of the great drought there. "Latrer is very scarce, and the dust very deep. The inhabitants use whisky a« a beverage—the water being used for agricultural purpose. . “Pa, why do de sun rise in de East ?” a*ked a little urchin to his old gray-headed father,— “Why, son. case the sun makes its revuni cninlution round the yearth every twenty-four or five hours, an' he is jest Iske aunt’s old Ned, when day comes be has got to get up.” A young buly,fond of the pomps and vanities of this world has a beautiful set of jewelry.— She became “converted.” In relating her ex perience she said. When I had found the Lord, I was convinced that if I continued to wear the jewelry I should go to hell, so 1 took it all otf and gave it to my sister. A St'M.—Suppose a man drinks a quart of whisky per day, how long will it be before he loses his right mind, and how long before he will have the blue devils after him, and how long will he live! Prove it by the Whisky Rule of Three, and you will have the answer. Two French journals, the Patrie and the Unitere are occupying themselves with the subject of divorce and the free-love tendencies in the United States. The resolutions of alate meeting of the Preabytery of Chicago on the subject of divorce meet their concurrence.— America according to these journals is destin ed irresistibly toglide into iminorrality, wheth er she will or no. From tolerance she will pass into license, and from license into some thingworse. The doctrines ot Mrs. Branch are such as were heard in France in the days of the Goddess of Reason —in the days when clubs and pretended schools flourished and when li centiousness, debauchery and atheism occu pied the upper current iu society. The French are thlinkful that that day has passed iu France, and they regret to sec that the same doctrines find hearers and tolerance in the great West ern Republic. THE ROAD TO WEALTH. Printer's ink has made more men rich in this country than any other known agent. Yet how few Southern merchants make use of it to increase their business. There are a few ex ceptions we admit. And wo have noticed Unit those merehantawho advertise most liberally do the largest business and are most successful. — Stephen Girard spoke the truth when he said, "hr keeping my business continually before the liublic" he had been able to make many sales iv would not otherwise have made. Fifty or a hundred dollars a year, investing in adver tising. will not be lost by the merchant. It will return to him a hundred fold. Try Prin ter's Ink; keep your business continually before the public.— federal Unitn. The Rev. Mr. Admire was publicly caned in the streets of New Albany, Indiana, on-the 23d inst., by Mr. Wm. B. Green. It appears a re port came to the ears of Mr. Green that the gentleman with the Reverend prefix to his name had been too intimate in his attentions to one of his daughters, and he peremptorily forbade Admire speaking to the young lady.— Butthething'waskeptup clandestinely, and the night before the caning, Admire induced Miss Green (and a green girl she was to admire such a reverend hyyocrite) to meet him at his own house, while his family were absent. When the girl returned home about eight o’- clock, she confessed where she had been but said she only went there <i« a child would go to her father. In the morning Green met Mr. Ailmire and gave turn an Jdmirs-able whip ping; which most of citizens themselves mire. The Rev. Mr. Carden, who has been silenced by the Right Rev. Bishop Doane, for inviting a Methodist clergyman to assist in the service of communion at Cape May, was one of the main snpports of the Union Prayer Meetings. NOTICE.
