XUE PLANTING INTEREST
. GEORGIA.
OF
It requires a strong appeal to men’s appre
hensions or interest, to alter their habits. The
low price of cotton, and the prospects of its re
maining low, now presents such nn appeal to
planters, as cannot pass unheeded to such as
expect to prosper. Close attention ta business
by which their crops may be brought to mar
ket in good order, and by which every un
necessary expenditure may be avoided, is the
only plan to sustain themselves, with such pri
cos as they may expect in future. Abaentr.es
who havo lived at a distance from their planta
tions, and known nothingof them, except the
amount their cotton sold for at the end of the
year, must now yield to the necessity of the
case, and loave their town residences and ex
pensive habits and go to their real homes, and
attend (• their business; or if fhat is irksome
they must expect the sheriff to take charge for
them, after they havo run out the usual course
of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, for a
few years. They must choose between the
two.
Men who live at home, nnd are considered
tolerably prudent and industrious, have chan
ges to make in their management. The old
mode of picking out their cotton, full of leaves
and trash wool answer any longer. Rickctty
old running gear, giving a lurch and shriek at
every revolution of the wheel, must now leave
its ancient ubode, to give place to steady ma
chinery, that will not rack the gin, and iho gin
with teeth awry and brushes worn or gone,
napping the cotton and admitting imperfect
ssed to go through with the staple, must be
replaced with new and good ones. The mis
erable plan of cramming two or three hundred
weight of cotton, into n round bag, with a crow
bar, stilling the packer during the operation,
with dust and lint enough to were out lungs of
solc-leatlicr in a few years, a plan unworthy
of an intelligent people will have to be aban
doned, and a screw built on every plantation,
to put up neat square packages.
What is the cost of having a screw put up,
after the planter with his own hands, has got
out the timber ? Not more than thirty dollars
Well, suppose he only raises thirty bags of
cotton, if it is packed neatly in square bogs, it
will sell for a quarter of a cent p?r pound more
than if in round. A quarter of a cent per pound
on a bag weighing 400, would be one dollar,
and on the tliirly bags, it would be thirty dob
lars he would receive more, fur the square,
than for round bales, which would be exactly
the amount his screw cost. Iflie raises only
fifteen b igs, the screw pays for itself in two
years; ifltc raises thirty bags, it will pay for
itself in one. Suppose he makes sixty bags,
the screw pays for itself and pays a profit of
thirty dollars the first year besides. And yet,
there am men that make a hundred, even two
hundred bags, who pack them in round bales,
just “because their dndda’s did so and got along
iu the world tolerably wellsome ten or
twenty years ago, when cotton was 15 or 16
cents a pound. All this kind of unri flecth g
adherence to old customs—necessary only at
a time, when the screw had not yet been ap
plied to packing cotton—must give way before
a near order of things.
In short planters will not be long in discov
ering, that fewer bags of cotton, picked out
clear of trash, ginned in such a manner as to
preserve the staple, and pucked with good bag
ging and rope, and the seams closed perfect
ly with strong twine, will pay better than more
gathered and sent to market in the old fashion.
They will plant no more than they can handle
properly, and more attention will be paid to
putting it up. They will come to it after a-
while, necessity is a good teacher. And with
cotton at present prices, can they afford to give
a pound of cotton for a pound of meat, instead
of raising their own meat at home ? Can they
afLrd much longer, us they now manage to do,
to exchange the proceeds of four or five bags
of cotton, (880) for a mule, instead of raising
that mule at home, from a mare which would
ail in ploughing besides. “Old things have
passed away” and those who do not expect to
aee their property pass away with them, and
go into thriftier hands, will have to abandon
this wretched mode, which is impoverishing
the nsclves, ruining this country, and sending
off all the nut profits of our labor into other
States.
The nearest approach to desolation that a
country at all inhabited can present, is a neigh
borhood of large plantations, where the own
ers live at a distance, and raise largo crops of
cetton, have a little corn to buy and all their
meat.* The crazy old cabins, looking for all
the world like so many dead-falls, only wait
ing for the next high wind to tumble down on
their sleeping occupant*. The red hills, va-
Hegated occasionally with a patch of brown
>traw and a gully large enough to hold the vil-
lag*
court house, stands off in lonely back
ground, a few starved shoals tottering along
the lane, and a worn out mule or two, with
®ore backs, complete the picture. But just
look into the corn crib and meat house, and
see how near empty they are in July, before
you go. Now would you believe that the own
er of such a place und his family, are dashing
*hou; in a fine carriage, not vet paid for per
haps, and living in expensive style 1 It is even
so. How can a country prosper with such a
population—such a race of ,l nati consumert
fruges," as Sallust characterizes a similar pop
ulation in his day. But their duration is brief.
They must conform to the altered times and
become pains taking, economical agricultur
ists, or those who supperintend th.ir business
now, will become the owners.
Suppose every planter should resolve to
plant only so much cotton, os he could gather
properly, and make more corn, raise all his
meat and mules, and preserve his land by ditch
ing his hill sides, and other judicious methods.
In five years, what an alteration there would
be in the prosperity of this country, and his
own circumstances. The whole face of the
land would begin to smile, and a new tone cf
public feeling would ensue.
Occasionally in passing through this coun
try, we are invited by an appearance of com
fort and plenty, to stay all night at the house
of a planter who raises his own meat and
der by their actions, than I can by words! In
short, will not the work be commenced ?
Savannah has money, if not enough with
convenience, she has unbounded credit and must
raise the $314,500 ; the Central Rail Road
has the Iron, and will advance the $161,000 ;
the counties interested, from Savannah to Ma
con, from Macon to Griffin, Pike, Meriwether,
and Troup, with all others In that section of
the State, have the strong arms- and stout
hearts, and will d-> the work.

mules, and corn to sell. In no case has
happened that such a man was in debt. He
had money by him invariably, to loan to his
neighbors or invest in properly. There is an
air of independence, a peace of mind about such
a man, that is refreshing from the rarity.—
The very (three year old) hogs, grunting about
lazily and fat, seem to p artake of their owner’*
feelings of content, and groups of colts frolick
ing in the pasture, seem conscious almost that
there will be com in store for them, during
their lives. You never see a surly looking
visiter there, come for money long due, and
withheld, with evasive and broken promises,
peering at the furniture and fixtures as if he
was calculating how much they would bring at
sheriff’s sale. Now suppose this country pop
ulated by such men, what a difference it would
make in its prosperity. The people as individ
uals would be independent and happy, and the
whole land would “blossom as the rose.” A
change which every man can profitably make,
in the management of his business, can soon
bring it ubout- The whole secret consists in
making no more cotton, than they have time
to gather and send to market in good ordtr;
makingplenty of corn; and raising all their
meat and mules.
WYMAN’S EXHIBITION.
It will be seen by reference to this gentle
man’s adveitisemcnt in another column of to

FOR THE MACON TELEGRAPH
THE RAIL ROAD FOR SAVANNAH.
Mr. Editor : Why don’t some of you Edi
tors in this place nnd Savannah, aid Major
Cline of the Griffin Gazette, in the great and
good work he has set on foot; I mean the
Rail Road from Griffin to West Point, in
Troup county, to connect with the Montgome
ry and West Point Railway ? This is a sub
ject of vast importance to Savannah and that
section of country, equally so to Macon and
tl,e region above, and tnoro than all, to the
Central Rail Road ; and still the Griffin Edi
tor, seems alone to have undertaken the work,
and from presen. appearances, if the Road is
built at all, it must be done by him. I propose
belore lie undertakes the job, as no Engineer
seems disposed even to tell him the cost of
what lie has to do, to inform him of the sub
stance of a conversation I held the other day
with one of these gentlemen, who was fully
conversant with all the facts, and who has given
me such of them, as will enable mo to submit
tothe Griffin gentleman, the following estimate.
From a survey of the ground recently made
by the Georgia Rail Road, the distance
from Griffin to West Point, is found to be 68
miles ; we shall have then say 55 miles Gra

to be raised in cash. The Central Rail Road
for the first 100 miles, is laid with a plate Rail,
which, although it makes a very good Rond, in
consequence of the unparalleled increase of
business, is entirely too light for that work, and
must in a short time be replaced with a heavy
edge Rail: this will place 100 miles of good
plate bar Iron at the disposal of the Central
Company, and the most obvious and profitable
way in which they can use it, toill be to lay
down 30 miles of it on the Monroe Rail Road,
which it only now requires to connect with the
State work in a single month ; and to apply
the other 70 to the Road jrom Griffin to West
Point. This will still reduce the cash required
to build the West Point Road, S161.000, which
taken from the last amount of cash, as above,
leaves the amount of cash that will be wanting
to build, equip, and put in complete operation
the 6S miles of Road from Griffin to West
Point, only $314,500.

be imagined tlmn Savannah will then have ;

LIFE—A VOLUME.
By MISS ELIZB’H BUELL, OF GLEXb FALLS, Jf. T.
One of the most profound mental philoso
pliers represents the human mind as a blank
sheet, whereon,) in childhood and youth, are
stamped the impressions which serve as moulds
to fashion the ideas and principles of after life
The mind, then, may-be considered as a blank
volume, of which the body is the binding ; nnd
in which the finger of Time inscribes the first
chapter of exis'ence, or infancy, in a “minute
and delicately traced chirngraphy.” The se
cond chapter, or youth, is penned in a bold
open hand. The third, or manhood, is indicted
with the free and hurried characters ot the man
of business and care; and the fourth, or age,
is written with the varying angles, and unequal
lines which tell of palsied limbs and fast decays
ing humanity.
These volumes of life are placed in the great
studio of Earth, to be drawn at will by the Au
thor of the Universe. Let us lake one of these
volumes, and as we peruse its contents, care
fully pond< r its worth. Its title page—Life—
copy right secured in Heaven. Its piefaco
tells of the intimate blending and harmonious
union of the mortal and immortal—the physic
nl, intellectual, and moral natures—the chain
of dependencies, the tender sympathies by
whicli these various natures are bound togeth
er—and that crowning anti governing princi
ple, the human will; which the lamented Pol
lock calls “the highest gift of God’s abundant
grace.”
chapter r.
I N F A N C Y.
Thou hast no heavy thought or dream,
To cloud thy fearless eye ;
Long be it thus—Life’s early stream.
Should still reflect the sky. Mas. IIemaxs.
Infancy ! what interesting associations cluster
around the word, starting out in tho dim con
fines of memory; and in bright relief are its
sunny smiles, its ariless and winning ways, its
unaffected innocence, and unsophisticated en
dearments. Ignorant ofthe past, andheediess
of the future; unqualified to profit by the wis
dom *»f others, and unable to appreciate its own
brief experience—no cloud of care has yet risen
to darken with its sombre gloom, its sun-lit
horizon. The gushing streams of unrestrained
joy flow quietly on, in a bubbling stream of
continual pleasure, confined within the flower-
gemmed banks of parental solicitude and care.
Like the gradual unfolding of the rose, as one
leaf after another bursts out in crimson lustre
from its green envelope, so is the gradual ex
pansion of ihe infant mind. Its dovelopement
may be slow, but in that very tardiness is man
ifested a wise provision of Nature; for if the
mind were to possess the power and vigor of
maiurity while the physical powers are in a
state of entire dependence, what mental tor
ture and anguish would be endured. All then,
is wisely ordered; and as the playful infant
toilers to the days of childhood, its harmless
prattle and healthful sports, give a bright pro
mise fur the yet distant future.
fllAPTFR Tf.
CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH.
My name is Fun, your crony dear,
The nearest friend you ba'e. Burns.
Happy, buoyant childhoodl Unrestrained it
bounds along from joy to joy with elastic vigor,
and healthful gaiety. There is an indescriCu-
ble freshness of feeling, and freedom of manner
in childhoojlr. which speak of artless and guilt
less simplicity; and then comes welling up from
the fountains of thought, many a crude idea,
which like the air bubble on the mountain lake,
breaks on its surface and tells us nut of the
depths of the waters beneath. The minute in
quiry, the irrepressible curiosity, and the in
teresting field for interrogation which it finds in
every thing new, are but the nucleus for the in
tellectual germs which a well educated youth
will develops nnd an active manhood will per
fect. In childhood, and then alone perhaps,
may be found those delicate moral sensibilities,
those exquisite conceptions of right and wrong,
which, if properly cultivated and suitably di
rected, will in after life, lead to all that is tru
ly great or worthy of approbation—to that fame
which is alone imperishable.
Childhood! thy name is blended in our minds
with the grassy lawn, the rivulet by whose side
we have often times sported, the shady grove,
tho sunny hill-side, and the noisy play ground.
Its laughing pastimes and happy hours are
brought forward with truth and startling dis
tinctness on the records of remembrance, tha*
make us sigh to think they have all passed ir
retrievably away. The youth enters upon the
busy world to participate in its gay and joyous
scenes; he seeks the busy throng and finds
subjects of exciiing interest in every new scene.
Nothing seemed too high for aspiration or too
difficult for attainment.
“Youth, let the Eagle's course ever be thine.
Onward and upward/*
CHAPTER IV.
OLI) AGE.
“On his staff
he leuned. and from his weary eye
A single tear drops;
None followed ; for the fount was dry/’
« grey haired pilgrim, as he traces the
tablels of his memory, looks back upon his
youth as a thing of yesterday, the occurren
ces of early life are all too fondly remembered,
while the affairs of to-day are unheeded.—The
glittering scythe ofdcath, ihe cankered rust of
destruction and disappointment, have destroy
ed full many a link of the bright chain that
once bound him to earth, and many another
link lias been lost in the dark gulf of adversity.
One by one the gilded hopes of childhood, the
pleasures of yoHth, and the pursuits and con
nections of manhood with all their bright asso
ciations, have been obliterated from the page
of existence. Like an old oak of the forest,
the sport of the elements forages, whose riven
trunk and gnarled branches, bear the impress
of lightnings and tempest—So is old age, as
shattered by the temptations and afflictions of
life, it stands amidst the fallen leaves of retros
pective pleasures. Weak tottering age, whose
prototype is infancy reversed, the iasl chapter
in the earthly career of life. Now and then
brilliant gleams of ihe dormant intellect flush in
momentary sublimity over the miserable wreck
of that which was once a fit tenement for this
immortal mind. But to the effort succeeds a
chaos like that following the last convulsive ef
fort of a huge volcano, which with one mighty
throe, casts up the lurid stream of lava and fire,
illuminating with its gigantic flame, height
plain and glen, then, leaving the scene envel
oped in a cloud of murky darkness. The‘‘sil
ver chord” is severed, strand by strand, and
fibre by fibre, till all its hold on mortality is
gently loosened, and the ripened head is gatli
ered into the garner of eternity.
Then the volume of life is transferred from
the shelf ot earth, to tho studio of its author or
be cast aside as worthless, or rebound, accord
ing to its tested worth, in an envelope of spot
less purity—of fadeless immortality.

Romance in Real Life.—The Journal de
Frankfort contains a romantic story, that the
wife of a tailor residing at Mumch, named
Hilper, has lately become a princess, anil gives
tiie following particulars: •
A rich Roman Prince was living at Brussels
with his wife, but bad no male heir. The Prin
cess having again become pregnant, be threat
ened to repudiate her if the child was not a
boy. She was delivered of a girl; but the wife
of a Jew tradesman, M. II , being deliver
cd at tire samo lime of a boy, the midwife made
an exchange of the children, und the prince
imagined he had a son. The boy died at the
age of six years, and tho girl was brought to
Munich, where the real mother secretly gave
her a brilliant education. The Princess dying,
however, and there being no more supplies for
the education and sdpport of the daughter cf
her parents, the latter fell into poverty, and the
girl married a Jew dealer, M. Sell , who
soon after obtained a divorce. She then enter
ed as a sort of housekeeper into the family of
M. de Spengal, and subsequently the house of
the ta lor, Ililperi, where she embraced the
Christian religion, in order to accept an offer
of marriage from him, which was solemnized,
and has produced two sons. The mid-wife, be
ing on her death-bed, confessed to a priest who
attended her, the fraud of which she had been
guilty, and placed documents in his hands lo
prove her statements. After a suit of three
years the lady has succeeded in establishing
her claim, and has been recognized by the fatti
er, who has settled his fortunn on her sons.—
What adds tothe singularity of the affair is,
that Hilper cannot nnke up his mind to solicit
letters of nobility, in order to accommodate
himself to this change of fortune.

MANHOOD.
4 ‘This ia the season for combat, not for rest ;
It*s joys are joys of conquest, not of peace.*'
Like tue vessel at sea, whose proud carcnr
across the glittering waves, or whose impetuous
course when the angry waters uro lashed into
foam by the howling tempest, is manhood,
struggling and rushing across the great ocean of
life. Ambition is the rudder, Wealth, Fame,
and Power, the great [torts fort which he is
bound. But ever and anon the sky in overcast
with threatning clouds; fearful reefs and dan
gerous quicksands impede his progress, and
darkness broods over him; yet brightly and
cheerily through the surrounding gloom beams
forth his guiding star—the star cf Hope.
