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.

already obscured, by some accident the lights
were entirely extinguished. Pending its re

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

‘No, John, you tell him.’
'Tell him yourself.’
‘No, John. I don’t like to tel) him. The gen

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

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!”

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.

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’-
