We grant that th - ry must he reduced [ to practice in any vocation to be made ; , effective, but it ia not more true of ag riculture than the other professions. The abstract study of the musty tomes of "block lettered” jurisprudence, cannot 1 make a sucosisful lawyer without an ad- I equate knowledge of human nature, and nil the details of common law nnd local | practice. Yet who will gainsay, that ; this familiarity with the proceedings and decisions of the courts from the earliest nntiipiity, and the opinions and speeches | of b-arm-l counsel upon all important issues, are not of incalculable value to the barrister at all time/?

Bnt what a miserable charlatan hsarotdd prove without this information. And thin applies with full force to prac tical agriculture. A man may make tol erable crop* by close industry, abundant muscle, and the experience aoqnired by long year*, but the uneducated lawyer ami quack succeed likewise occasionally for the same reason. But is this any ar gument against thorough education and the mastery o? those principles which underlie Isit'i of the aliovo-mentioncd professions ? 'Hie veriest bumpkin can lie taught bow to turn a neat furrow or drive a team, but what does he know concerning the constituent* of the noil, the nature of plant', the manures adapt- od to various crops, and the heat met ho* 1 of applying them, to say nothing of the science of entomology, the theory of “ ro tation.” etc. Ami yet, for the want of this knowledge, millions of acres of the most fertile soil that ever smiled bcnestli the blue empyrean, now lie waste aqd utterly exhausted, or have been swept away into the broad Atlantic, leaving frightful chasm* and corrugated hillsides alone aa landmark* of the erstwhile smil ing landscape. But wo rejoice that thi i period of reck less ignoranec and dire dent ruction to nature's fair domain, is soon to be suc ceeded by a new era of intelligent and scientific agriculture, which will reclaim the “roil old hills of Georgia,” develop the marl pits, muck deposit* and leafy treasure* of the forests into valuable producing elements, and multiply indefi nitely the fruit* of the earth. VYo bare an agricultural institution now in auccessful operation, which will annually send forth scores of educated farmer* well versed in chemistry, geology, and surveying, who will soon leaven the whole country with their influence and skill, The results will be seen in the new interest which will be awakened to those numeric* of industry nnd progress, tho agricultural club* and societies of the State, which are tho auxiliaries of the mother organisation.

In the more proper manipulation of manures based upon the character of tho land they are designed to fertilise.

In the continued improvement of ln)*>r-“nv- ing implement* of industry. In the in troduction of the be t breeds of cattle, sheep and horses. In tho training of skilled labor, the proper construction of lwrin, gates nnd nnd farm houses, the use of hedges for fencing, the importance of diversifying crops nnd selecting pure seed, the profits of fruits and grapes for wine, nnd, in short, in the general improvement and elevation of the noble profession of agriculture itself. It is alleged that experimental farms do not prove remunerative. This is not o—entialfy so* a* the writer can testify from instance* to the contrary which he encountered in Pennsylvania whilst on his travels. Bnt what if the assertion were true? Those farms are designed ns tests for the various fertil- iiers, to ascertain what fruits, cereals and other plants maybe reared within certain latitudes and climatic limits; to arrive at the Kvl methods of cultivation, by a trial of a« the systems in vogue. They are what their name purports, mere *»- j—f r -«-i areas, meant to wu tAc mjwtiss of aimilsr undertaking* by private indi vidual*. And. though at the end of the voir the income does not equal the out lay. who will have the hardihood to assort that the information of a practical char acter derived, the problems in science which have had a satisfactory solution, and the general benefit resulting to the student, do not far outweigh any slight pocuniarv las ? Do We not see enlight ened nation* coustontiy fitting out dis tant sxnediti us ut immense cost, simply to verify .astronomical or geographical theorbo ?

On the contrary, it | should form a very important department in the I’niversilyi'f the State.and nveivo all the pecuniary aid it may need from : the public treasury. As yet^tho system i- ill its infancy in this State, but Massa chusetts. which was the first common wealth to lead off with a regular agricul tural college, is now reaping a rich re- , word from the multitudes of practical aud ■ skillful young men who are rapidly swell- . ing her wealth and prosperity. As many , as seventy-SSTun graduates within a short period, have chosen the farm as a mode of occupation, and many others fill honors- 1 Me and useful situation*, as engineers, surveyors, etc. But we cannot enlarge further at pre*- ent on this deeply interesting subject, which challenges the attention of the whole country. lYc may revert to it ; How the Government Helped Clews. /A New York sjs-:ial of September £3d. to the Boston Advertiser, the lea ling R-> [ publican paper of Ma-iachu-sett . itatec that *ClewB was sustained through the ' terrible run* on Friday and Saturday by government.

Ncav York Speculations. It does appear that nothing siiort of bath and judgment will ever stop the insane feeling of speculation which ran* riot in tho metropolis of the notion. Il matters not if half of the capitalists havi been reduced to beggary and rain by in dulging in the same mania, that busi ness is shaken to its foundation* and thu strongest home* are tottering, that cur rency is scarce and worth one-half per cent, a day, and gold so for exhausted that the vacuum must be supplied from abroad, at it the bear* and bull* and stock gamblers go, and make tho welkin resound with the babel eoafiuiou oc an gry tongue* all clamoring and striving in the temple of Mammon. Tho cause of the late upward flight in the gold market is thus described by the New York Tri bune: The lull in AVall street was compen sated, yesterday, at the Gold. Exchange by a revival of speculation. Tho large shipments of gold from abroad have been tho theme of considerable dis-u’.-sion in financial circles, and particularly in the Gold Room. Much of this incoming gold has been told for cahh, anil a vigorous ‘•bear'’ movement was also opened upon the strength of this flow of gold. The re sult was that yesterday there- wn-: a sffnrp liorrowing demand for gold, and the nit’ forthe use of it advanced from "flat'’ to }. bnt later fell to "flat” The price ad vanced from 111} to Illi ami 1 ! the most intense excitement and great fears that another gold "corner” hod been formed. Inquiry a* to tho moan* employed to force the price upward elicited th" infor mation that a number of Canadian and other hankers who bad large quantities of gold, discovering that the market had been oversold for the time, availed tho’U- selves of their knowledge and their abili ty to put up the price, nnd also to exact an enormous commission for the n»e of it. Some of the borrowers refusal to pay this rate, nnd at the time the state ments should lie ready for t le Gold Ex change Bank th*** particular accounts were still hi d >".t. i’.L As the statement* of the - • a.; u represented very large tran*- tetiqn*, it was essential that they should be sent in, so that a general clearance might be effected. As their refusal to send them in would embarrass tho clearing, and lead to a general return of statement* to the broker*, besides causing a great deal of unnatural excitement and bringing upon the members of the Gold Exchange trou ble and loss, Drexel, Morgan & Co., bank ers. of Wall street, offered the amount of gold needed for the clearances of the de linquent members, trusting to obtain by subsequent negotiations the amount due them. This had the effect of- stopping what might have been a very *eriou* com plication, and gold fell off to 113j. but reacted again to lit—tho closing figure. It is understood tliat the amount ad vanced bv Drexel, Morgan A Co., was $<>00,000.' The gold clearings for the day were as follows: Gold "leared, $24,200,000: gold balances, $1.632377 60; currency balan ces, $1,33737!) 44.-7Vifcme. • • ' A-iiDixiais. u. 6. nrs.— new . , ... , .

The strongest bills, drawn by tho old, impreg nable bonking houses, are rated at 104. So far as “ mercantile bills ” are concern ed, the drafts of shipper* find no buyers at a decline of seven per cent, from their ordinary gold value. In such a state of affairs it is evident that exportation of our grain and other products is nearly impracticable. Our legitimate current of wealth, never larger' or more promising than a fortnight sin re. hasjfor the moment, almost utterly ceased. Until last week freights were rising, and every available vessel was eagerly char tered to convey our crops to Europe; but the steamers leaving to-day have found it difficult to fill their holds at any reduc tion of charges. Of course, if allowed to continue, this means disaster to the American people. Tt is. even now, the genuine calamity of which the distress upon the Stcx-k Ex change has been the foretoken. Let us look the matter squarely in the face.

Tho H&vuian _ wa-* sent from Ferpawjiin by the collector: of th4 port ivt tliat place for the purpose of being placed m the Marine Hospital in this city. On Satur day night the deceas'd lay on a cotton bale, where he remained until discovered to be dead yesterday morning. The jury returned a verdict of death from Provi dential causes. The Death of a Criminal—A Full Confession.—On the 30th of last Sep tember the body of a colored man, about nineteen years of age, who had been em ployed by Mr. David Symons asa watch man on board the steamer Maggie S*f-< fold, was found floating in the river at the foot of East Broad street. Th*' fiody was grappled and brought to shore, when it was discovered that the man liad been foully dealt with. He had a severe gash in the side, several bruises on the head, and a bullet-hole in the temple. He had been overpowered by thieves a few nights before, murdered and thrown into the river and his body drifted ashore, a dumb witness a*r.unj$t thft perpretjutijrj of the horrible crime. The mutter was put in the hands of shrewd driWCf!#*, but tliere was much mystery oounocted with the murder until one S .ott Thur man made a confession, char ring the crime upon a negro named Zeke Jackson. JackrOn wa-? lodged in jail in February last, and since that time has been suffer ing with consumption. On Saturday la-t death stepped in between justice and her victim. Previous to hi* death, however, Jackson made a full confession of the crime. He was persuaded to go with the party who robbed the «t tinier, ajp* struck the blow that knocked the unfbrtunat • watchman overboard. We regret, exeee<lingly. to learn the death of Capt. E. P.

The (Chicago Tribune has a ha’-it of hitting the nail on the head that is very refreshing, ft* tost success in that line was last Friday, when it said: A bank may l»e rotten and insolvent. njid fail; but to talk; of a suspension of payment? ut this tiiueis the use tt-rui withoiit aHy orloK ‘Signifi^ sus]H*nsion of payment* in promises to pay at some indefinite time in the uncer tain future, is absurdity on its face. In fact, the United States Government has suspended payments ever since it made Treasury notes a legal-tender. Ever since it stopped paying coin for its debts it has suspended payments. It has issued evidences of indebtedness, bearinj 9*n i, mid a good deal was sold to the incnrhantM*/ /pay uano and provision Um Is. This cotton •nought 15 cents, and overplus in cash 14 cents. The fact that our merchants, bankers, and warehousemen have agreed to take good middling cotton at 15 cents for the next two weeks, in payment for advances, and that merchants are anx ious to take it for all bills against farm ers, has already caused considerable move ment in busine5s circles, and a slightly better feeling is felt upon the streets. The Forsyth’Adverf'ser tfie xok- ton buyers and. bans of that place are “anxious and do actually £ny all the cotton that ia placed upon tho market, pfiw’ing the highest c*udi price therefor.** The Advertiser omits, however, to men tion the price they pay. A Monstrous Decision. The New York Tribune prints the fol lowing: — . In the midst of the flurry in Wall street it is greatly to be feared that a much more important event may be k>*t sight of. The Court of Appeals has just affirmed the decision of the Brooklyn City Court in the cose of Homan vs. Earle. Tms decision -practically aEoU ishes kisring in affixing thereto the^en- ally of matrimony at the discretion of the kissce. To thousands of gay butterflies and pretty innocents this news will be of I deep and painful interest.

Mr. Earle imag- j Aat sW.ilil iru T* 1 and substantial rural capitalists come to the front with their cotton, thus exhibit ing the riwi of trad*, and showing that the South has batil>cnt, and can give the very best security for the moneys ad vanced in this emergency, why the de mand for the staple will continue to be dull and prices languish. Ye who have , given liens, re teem rour pledges at once, ! to draw out before the banks “suspend payment.” The whole theory of a gener al suspension of payments, when there is not a dollar of coin on deposit anywhere, and when the entire circulating medium eonsi ts o ’ indefinite promises to pay, is an absurdity. Yet the hunt after green back? is as* ardent as it could bo if the money on deposit was a reality and not a fiction. It seem:; to be forgotten that t'.v.wju.k: boom*; 1 p£ the CQuntor,if 4on« tKiWr a S'ttpeiBiOTtofacWal piynientri, and t nit we have no money other than irredeemable printe ! promise*. A l.-ant miap.*us!ou as distinguished from a bank failure lucans nothing more, at best,than a refusal to pay out one class of promis sory notes, or evidences of debt, in ex change for another.

Tho osius *s of these financial troubles am in no way attributable to onr banks hero or. our Southern planters. Still we are all seriously offected by the crisis that is upon ns. Many of you liavo drawn againstyour present crop, anti the banks hero, in most instances, are holding these papers. To meet them now is wholly impossible, :uid to sell your cotton in a iMtiic would be destructive to your interest. We can protect your credit and your interest and will do so. if you will come to the rescue. Forward yonr rottoii. With this in store, we can anti wm protect your jwpers, at a reasonable interest, without sellina your cotton now ut a sacrifice. Cotton must sell at some time. The world must have it, and in order to enable you to hold your cotton, without sacrificin'} it at present panic prices, it is necessary to have it in store, as a hosts for renewal of maturing papers. Looking therefore to your interest, we say to you, tliat if the cotton is here at maturity of yo drafts, we will protect tlw same and not sell yo. cotton at a sacrifice. Confidence is all that necessary to carry ns safely through this crisis and insure a good price for the incoming crop. This monetary stringency is not owing to our banks. True they have advanced very liberally to aid in making this crop, ret wo do uot hesitate to express our liclief tliat they possess undoubted solvency, nnd with cotton in store, which can lie used by them as collateral security, ran, in a short time, arrange to move your crop and enable you to realm a fair price for the same. Sustain ing our institutions now, when by so doing it will inure to your benefit, is the duty of us all. Como forward, then, with your cotton. Your interest demands it, and ns your factors, with an eye single to that interest, weidedgumrsdrcs to pro- it, by holding your cotton until there is a mar ket tm(Orient to justify its sale.
