How dear to my heart are the scenes of my child hood, When the fond recollection recalls them to view, The orchard and meadow, the deep-tangled wild wood, And every loved spot which my infancy knew. The wide-spreading pond, aud the mill which stood by it. The bridge and the rock where the cataract fell, oot of iny fathers, and the dairy house nigh it, And e’en the rude bucket which hung in the well; The old oaken bucket, The iron bound bucket, The moss covered bucket which hung in the well. The moss cover’d vessel I hailed as a treasure, For often at noon when return’d from the field, I found it the source of an exquisite pleasure, The purest and sweetest which nature can yield. How ardent I seiz’d it with hands that were glow in?, * And quick to the white pebbled bottom it f, II; But soon with the emblem of truth overflowing.

From the Journal. ADDRESS, Delivered beforeihe Puinarn Agricultural So ciety., at their meeting on the 3d Monday in August, by the lion. C. B. Strong, Pres ident. Whilst others are indulging in politicks, and engaged in all the rancour of party an imosity, ours is the pleading task to assem ble for the peaceful and useful purpose of promoting and improving the chief of arts. An art which combines theory with useful practice, in the success and advancement of which, every order and class of our com munities is intrinsically interested, nod to which cur beloved country is fundamental ly indebted for its power and impor tance in the community of nations—the art . of Agriculture. The practice of this no-j ble art, is as compatible with our pecuniary interest, as it is pleasing and salutary io its effects upon the mind, whilst it elevates our thoughts, and fixes them cpon the au thor of nature, and source of happiness; it affords that degree es exercise, which is ■ the best preventive of disease and preserv ative ofhealth. It requires no hurtful de gree of fatigue on the one hand, “ nor in dulges indolence on the other, still more hurtful.” A judicious farmer will so mi nutely observe all the various changes of the seasons and processes of nature —all the diversified modes of culture, as never to suffer his mind to languish, but daily ac cumulate more and more knowledge. Os all occupation?, Agriculture is the most con sonant to our nature, the most productive of contentment, ease and innocence, and the most certain source of temporal happi ness. The immortal Washington has saiJ, “ the task of working improvement on the earth, is much more delightful to an unde bauched mimi, than all the vain glory which can be acquired from ravaging it, by the most uninterrupted career of con quests.” But why need 1 dwoll on the w.i fulnessand importance of an art. which the experience and observations of the most enlightened ages, render no longer -ques tionolde. _ Rvmvrei In toy flbevions communications, I have endeavourfd to develope our views and ob ject?. 1 have urged the necessity of deep horizontal ploughing, and the propriety of using our-best efforts to collect and pre serve manure, the proper lime aud mode ofdistributing it, and the utility and practi cability of establishing meadows, as well as cultivating many of the artificial pe rennial grasses—have pointed out those which likely to succeed best in fcrtilizin^our I 'fields and proving most beneficial to our stock—have recommend ed a due attention to the selection and pres ervation of the best seed of every plant we cultivate, and the improvement of all the useful kinds of animals, by procuring the best breeds, and properly attending to judicious crosses. - t have likewise given you my theory of the probable cause-and cure of the got in cotton. These form the outlines of what has been heretofore dis cussed. If 1 should occasionally travel back, sgd expatiate on the same topicks, you will please to pardon the repetition, for indeed they are subjects which admit of. such a wide range of thought and practice, I aDd are of such vast iraportstnee to agricul ture, that they would require more than the life of an antideluvian to exhaust them. But before 1 advance further, permit me to remark, that whatever subject is advan- | ceti, that ha* the appearance of* novelty, j however ancient it may actually be in Iheo • ry and practice, and bow rational soever the principles upon which it rests; yet it is 1 with extreme difficulty that the prejudices L in favour of boßry practice can be remov | ed. The frequent failure of new designs, 1 proceeding upon imperfect theories or de : fective experiments, strengthens the argu > meats of opposition, and seems to justify those who are disposed to persist in the habits and inveterate prejudices of past gen erations.”* But 1 thank our all-bountiful Creator, that our lines havefallen in pleasant places , and that tee indeed have a goodly heritage. — Under the mildest and most rational form of government under the sun, and in one of the most fertile sections of our !>eloved country, the human mind is rapidly shaking off the rust of antiquity, and advancing to the limits of human perfection. It is hot then, a subject of surprise that our farmers should see and acknowledge a close connexion between chemistry and ag riculture, and the improvement of the lat ter depends upon a judicious practical ap plication of many of the principles of the former. This branch of natural philoso phy is so eminently conducive to the pro motion and improvement of agriculture, that it ought to he the duty of every farmer as well as his pleasure, to become more or less acquainted with it. But 1 come to the more immediate and practical objects of communication. The present season of the year invites a renewal of the subject of seed. Good seed, whether of corn, w heat, cotton, or any other plant of the vegetable kingdom which we cullivate lor food or raiment for man, or food for those beasts which are useful to our species, are of primary importance. — il Seed is the embryo contained in the fruit of vegetables.” “It is that part of a plant which comprises the rudiments of anew production'’ of its kind. These organized particles are called the germ or bud, (as was remarked to you last year) and is the whole future plant in miniature. The bal ance of the seed forms the covering, and contains oil, the first nutriment which the embryo plant receives. This sustains and supports the plant until it is sufficiently ad vanced to derive support through it? roots below, and from the atmosphere through j the organs of its stem and leaves above. j Iti? obvious from this description of seed I that the larger and more fully perfected! the seed are, which you select and sow or j plant, the larger will be your embryo j plants, [f carefully selected,'preserved i and planted or sowed, the plant or vine j will come up bold and vigorous, and stand a j good chance to overcome all obstacles, and I attain speedy and high perfection. Success j in farming will be increased, by due care in the selection of grain, seed and roots, from 1 those which have attained the greatest de-j gree of perfection, on the best and most i healthy plants. The farmer should go in- J to his cornfields, and gather for this pur- j pose, the best ears from the most produc- j tive stalks, and preserve them in the shuck free from wet, but accessible to the air, for j a certain degree of air is as necessary to | the preservation of vegetable as of animal! life. When planting time arrives, he should j shuck the ears thus preserved, shell off one J third at least from the little end, and all of the round grains off the large end, aud after rejecting all faulty grain*, reserve the re mainder to plant. A steady perseverance in this course will, in a few years, amply reward his care and industry, by an'in crease in the size and number of the ears produced from a given quantity of ground. The time is fa*t approaching, when we shall have to select and put away cotton seed for our future crops. The rot has again made its appearance. After the most diligent inquiry and thorough conside ration of all that has been published upon this mysterious disease as cotton, I a*i fully persuaded that proper choice of seed from the most healthy and vigorous plants, and largest and best attired bolls, will form the best preventive. Some persons are anxious to save the seed of the very first cotton that opens. Ido not approve of that plan,’ because those bolls are usually premature and small. 1 would therefore discard the very first bolls that open, and select seed from those only that arrive at the greatest perfection in point of size and soundness, from the last of August until frost rarpful Ivrif]4 cKauM for this express purpose, and the cotton which they gather should be sunned, kept separate, and when ginned the seed should be carefully kept dry in some convenient OC VIII VIUIIJ 111 ) Ol/IIIC V'JII V. Ill* 111 place, where they should never be suffered , to lie more, than a foot in depth. A few planters within my knowledge have been in the habit of carefully selecting and pre serving their-seed, and the most minute and faithful observation, has convinced my mind beyond a doubt, that their crops are more productive and less subject to rot. — The same rules should be obse.rved in re gard to the selection and preservation of every other description of useful seed.— Due attention in this section of the country is not paid to a proper rotation of crops.— An able practical writer on this subject, to whom the world is much indebted for the diffusion of agricultural knowledge, has observed that “ no branch of husbandry re quires more skill and sagacity than a prop er rotation of crops, so as to keep the ground always in heart, and yet to draw out of it the greatest profit possible. A horse is purchased for labour ; and it is the pur chaser’s intention to make the most of him. Me is well fed, and wrought according to his strength ; to overwork him is to render ’ him useless. Precisely similar island. — I Profit is the farmer’s object ; but he knows that to rnn out his farm by indiscreet crop ping, is not the way to make profit. Some plants rob the soil, others are gentle to it; * Fulton. Jsoine bind, others loosen. The nic point is, to intermix crops so sto make Ihe grent ■ est profit consistently wM 80,1 io order.”* The course of rotation proper to be adopted in this state, where cotton is so ex tensively cultivated, roust necessarily differ from that practised in the middle or eastern states. 1 must candidly acknowledge that I have oot fully made up my mind upon this branch of agriculture. My present object is to draw the attention of the members ot this society to the investigation ot this im portant subject, that proper experiments may be made mid their results reported. I will, however, just offer my present impression* thereon. New grounds should first be planted in Indian corn and peas or sowed in turnips, corn and peas again the second year, then cotton for two years in succession ; then corn; then sowed in wheat; then the ground should remain enclosed, ungrazed, and rest for one year. The first and second fall thereafter (about frost) it should be turned over with a deep mould board plough, and the two succeedingyears planted again in cotton, then corn, then small grain, and again rest with similar ’ the same ploughings and soon, constantly bearing in mind that close grazing injures the land more than judicious cultivate n.— When laud is what is called half worn, it should be planted in corn, upon the level ling plan, then sowed tu small grain, then rest for one year, and alter proper fall or winter ploughings, it will bear a crep ot cotton. Peas should never be intermixed with corn, when wheat is intended as the succeeding crop ; unless the farmer will spare time and labour to bury the vines and stalks in the centre furrow of the rows or lands ; for otherwise they w ill be much in the way. If land is very much exhausted, the spots most worn at least should be ma nured, and it should not be cultivated more than one year in three until it is resuscita ted. Cotton is a cleansing crop,pulverizes aud prepares ground for any thing else, particularly for the growth of the perenni a’ grasses which me great fertilizers. But whatever crop is cultivated, or course of rotation pursued, the ground should before it is planted be prepared by deep horizontal ploughing. For if the natural stratum of soil is not sufficiently deep, it should be made so by art, to give free | I course to the roots and retain moisture for their nourishment. The advantages of deep ploughing i are manifold. In the first pjace the roots extend , j far when they meet no resistance, and the growth j above the surface corresponds to that bc-low. ; j Roots cramped in shallow soil are dwarfish, and j consequently so is the tree or plant above ; the i deeper the soil and the better the ground is pui | verized, the better enabled will the growing crop , be, to resist the attacks of an unkindly season. | Deep soil affords not only space for the roots to j range in, but holds a due proportion of water for j nourishing the plant. If more rain falls than is i usual, it sinks more freely ; and if your ground is S laid off horizontally, when it is saturated and the , ! water furrows are filled, the whole row being upon ; a level, the surplus water will pass off at the ends jof the rows without injury. Thus the sail and a j sufficient store of water is retained without injury ito the crop, and it is prepared for drought; Where j as excess of moisture or drought are equally inci- j dent to shallow ploughed land. Water will not ! readily penetrate a stiff, cloggy soil. Frequent j deep ploughing in the winter will lighten such I soil, especially if the substratum is sandy. 1 .oose, j porous soil will not retain sufficient moisture: ! clay i9 the best manure to such land, and when j the substratum is clay, deep ploughing will inter j mix it with the soil, and form a proper texture. Ploughing keeps the soil loose for roots to take ! their natural range and open, admitting air, dew and rain. Dew, in particular, which /ails in plenty in this climate, and has a fertilizing quali ty, when most wanted, is lost upon hard soil, be- , mg exhaled by the action of the sun ; but it sinks deep in loose soil, and is sheltered from the sun’s power, or it will be perceived (bat the advantages | of ceep ploughing are manifest By practising J this improvement then, you will deepen your soil, j and enhance the product of your crops. 1 speak from experience, drawn from actual and repeated practice. Permit me, gentlemen, to detail the result of one experiment. 1 plough ed a thirty acre field which was nearly worn out, i with Freeborn’s patent plough, very deep, and 1 then had the drills laid off horizontally, ridged and planted in corn. 1 intended that the rows 1 should have been full six feet apart; but in this 1 my instructions were not followed, and they ap proached within five feet of each other. The stalks of corn were left about eighteen inches in the drill. It was ploughed twice only, and slight ly hoed the same number of times. Notwithstanding the heavy rains Which have fallen this season, the ground has remained light, and there are but three breaks or washes in the , whole field,which deserve notice ; and even there more soil has not passed away, than would have gone off along three rows, had it been laid off upon the usual transverse plan. Had it been laid off accurately, I am persuad ed there would not have been a single break; *hat the whole surface and every thing there on would traix. retained ; indeed, a t“i the very bloom ann ( asPe ], a nd sedi ment ct the earth, !>- •■ r . ....... of this uneven field has been retained. UH9 uucvni nein nus oeeii ictamcu. The crop is abundant, and I am Confident would have been proportionally more so, if the season had been moderately dry. The hasty showers which usually fall in this climate in June, July and August, are retained and penetrate to the root*, whereas, if it were laid off and planted in rows each way, a considerable portion of the rain would run off, affording but little benefit to the crop, and much injury by washing to the soil, but as it is, both rain and soil are retained. Having tested this improved mode of culture, hy actual and successful experiment, myself, and witnessed its beneficial effects upon the planta tions of others, I do most earnestly recommend its practice to tvery member of this society and this community. The process of laying off a field is not so diffi cult nor tedious as one would suppose, and when accomplished it is a permanent advantage:! for, if the succeeding year, you want to plant it again in corn or sow it in wheat, you have only to open your water or oentre furrow, and reverse your beds or ridges by lapping them upon those fur rows, and thus you save the time and labour of checking and ridging; fat when your field is once broken np, it is ridged ready for planting. All this should he effected in the fall or early in the winter, with a large deepmouldboard plough, and then, unless the soil is very stiff, it will remain through the spring and summer loose and ductile, and require but slight culture. The breadth of the rows should be from six to eight feet apart, according to the depth and fertility of the soil, and the corn left from eighteen ihohes to two feet * Karnes. + Set Mr. Jefferson's letter published in Agri cola. 64 •part, in the drill t and if you deunto change vour crop and plant cotton, you may then equal ly divide your rows, and that will give you a pro per distance. If it is j cftir wish to sow it in small train, all yon have to do when it i thus broken up is to sow the grain and harrow it, taking cure to leave the ridges as high as possible, to prevent it from washing, so that time and labour is event ually eared, the soil manured and preserved and the product increased. The levelling, horizontal mode of cropping, goes hand in hand with the proper system of rotation. It is equally consistent with the enclosing plan, aud absolutely nacessary (on broken land) to the manuring system! be cause by opening the water furrow, you form a groove in which the sthlks, vines and other litter of the preceding crop, and manures collected from elsewhere, may be deposited, and by lapping the whole row or bed back upon that furrow, the ma nure is completely covered and protected from evaporation, or the washing of heavy rains. I conceive it therefore the foundation upon which, in a hilly country, agricultural improvement must be principally built. Thus far, gentlemen, I have avoided theory that is not immediately connected with practice. We will ill some future communication endeavour to shew the use of Chemistry to illustrate agricul tural principles. But all we write or say upon this interesting subject “ should be subjected to the touchstone of experience.” We should there foie content ourselves with gradual advances in knowledge, until by proper theories aud sagacious experiments, we are enabled tort solve all into satisfactory, clear principles, and adopt the most advantageous agricultural system.

Late Omissions. Rat.eioh, September 7. Religious Intelligence. —A Camp Meeting com menced in the vicinity of this place on Wednes day the 29th ult. and closed early on Monday following. The weather for the two last days proved exceedingly unfavourable ; notwithstand ing its inclemency, the meeting was numerously attended, especially on Saturday and Sunday. The Rev. Win. Compton, (Elder) presided, as sisted by 10 or 15 Ministers. Great exertions were made to advance the interest of the Re- j deemev’s kingdom, and we understand that upon this occasion, about 35 persons professed to be the happy subjects of saving grace. We further learn, that a Camp Meeting lately held in Orange County, near Hillsborough, the pious labours of the attending ministers were abundantly blessed in turning many to righteous ness. The Camp Meeting on Tangier Island. —We • learn (saj9 the Norfolk Beacon of Aug. 23,); from a gentleman who attended the Camp Meet ing on Tangier Island, which commenced on the 17th inst. and closed on Tuesday morning last, at 8 o’clock, that it was more numerously at tended than any preceding it at the same place, i The number of persons present was estimated at between five and six thousand; the number of Preachers not as muny E 9 on former occasions; but a great number were added to the followers of the Lamb. The decked vessels in harbour was judged tp be about two hundred, besides 210 open boats. The encampment consisted of 264 Tents, occupying an area of between 4 and 500 yards. The utmost harmony and brotherly love prevailed among the members of the church, and caused much regret that this season of refresh ment was so short lived. General Jackson has issued an address to the army under his command, on the dissolution of his military cenexion with them.
