Provided, however, that all such students
shall be placed under the highest obliga
tions of honor, that when they shall have
received their education at the University,
that they will return to the county from
whence they come, and assiduously for the
term of four years, use their best exertions
to promote the cause of education in their
respective counties, by teaching snob schools
ns they can obtain, and, in endeavoring to
nrouse the people to a sense of the great
importance of educating the ris : ng genera

attached to the University, for the purpose
of preparing school teachers of d : fferent
grades of learning—the best methods of im
parting instruction to their pupils It is
necessary to study the art of teaching school
as it is to acquire knowledge sufficient to
teach. It is quite as necessary that the
school teacher should study the art of his
profession, ns that of lawyers, doctors and
mechanics. The intended limits of this pa
per will not justify my specifying all the
benefits which ought to be expectel to the
people of the who o State, by aa ample en
dowment and proper organization of a great
State Uuivers : ty. But I must be permitted
to designate a few items more IVc must
have a practical school of science —a school
of applied science, to the industral arts of
the country ; where the agriculturist, the
engineer, the superintendents of our cotton
factories, and other machinery and median
ical arts, may obtain all the instruction
hich they desire, to prepare them for their
intended pursuits, without rcquiiing of such
brought to hear upon the public mind; and
it will be irresistable in banishing ignorance
and indolence from every part of our com-
monweal'h These young men would sure
ly disparage that common nature of our
race, gralittide for State patronage. Nei

benefits on our existing institutions, ns an

is a question of great importance, and wor

It will be seen form what I have herein

success in a better system of education, is a
plan which shall more effectually awaken
the people to a sense of their destitution,
and to cause them to join heartily in the
great and important work of reform We
have abundant means, as well as power, to
educate our whole people, to any desirable
extent. We only lack the volition-the will.
And no one man, however faithful and well
qualified, can fully accomplish this great
object, although such an one might visit
every county in the State, and deliver ap
propriate and able lectures to the people,
clothed with State authority and honored
with the high title of superintendent of the
education of Georgia. lie might gather and
compile the statistics of tbe education of the
Stnte. This labor would prove to be of lit
tie permanent benefit; it would be like the
track of the ocean steamer in the broad ex
panse of waters, unless wc place numerous
auxiliaries, as sentinels, in at least each
county of our State ; which can be done by
the plan I have suggested, of a perpetual
scholarship for each county, in our State
University, and a department in the Uni
versity for the education of teachers If we
ever succeed in giving our people generally
a good education, we must first locate and
diffuse an influence in at least each county
of the State, as a part of our permanent
system. We want a permanent and yet a
progressive, growing system; founded in
principle, and based on sound policy and
friends of our present institutions must and
will have a prominent share in the manage
ment of our State University —it is pre-em
inently their great institution, in common
with all the rest of the people of tbe State.
Let their graduates have access, free of
charge for tuition, in all branches of instruc
tion which may be obtained in our Univer
sity. This is the aitar where our whole
people may worship together, free from all
party and sectarian prejudices I think I
can see very clearly Low the present Colle
ges of the State might be brought to feel a
great and direct interest in our State Uni
versity but I will not venture to enlarge
on that point at present In closing this
very imperfect article, a mi re outline or
sketch of my views, in connection witli the
subject of education—lot it be remembered
that my principal reliance for success, is
based upon voluntary exertion ; and in at
tempting first, to provide a suitable and
well qualified corps to lead the van, in bat
tling down ignorance and indolence, and
rearing upon their ruins, the true standard
of intelligence and industry. The provision
for the poor, is a perpetual scholarship of
one young man from each county in the
State, taken from the ranks of poverty—
♦o return to his county as a teacher and
missionary in the cause of education — to
multiply common schools of a better order,
&c Secondly—The teachers instructed in
the University, will be dispersed over the
State, and become a useful corps to the com
mon schools of the country. In addition,
let us try to find a proper person to travel
over the State, as superintendent of educa
tion. to lecture, collect and compile statistics
of education, &c And above all. let the

I prefer new land,— such as would biing
from four to six bushels of corn to the acre,
select, if possible, a piece on easterly, siuth
easterly exposure, and on a hill side, if you
have such, if you have not, level land will
do, provided it be not too retentive of mois
ture Sandy soil is tbe best, although dry
clay hill sidis will answer very well. Clear
the land and break it np with plows, as for
corn ; but all trees mast, of course, be cat
down and removed. Now get a parcel of
small stakes, from three to four fe-'t long,
and proceed to mark out the rows, if tlie
land be level let the rows be straight, bnt if
on a hill side, lay them off horizontally, or
level without regard to straightness, this is
in order to prevent the washing away of the
soil, (See one of the late numbers of the
Cultivator lor a simple leveling instrument.)
I make my rows eight or nine feet apart, I
prefer that distance on account of dividing
carts between to haul stakes, or manure,
when it becomes necessary, or in vintage
time. Having staked i ff die rows to yonr
own satisfaction, proceed to open the trench
es or ditches, let them be about two feet
wide, and some fourteen inches d.-ep, large
plows followed by long shovels, will very
quickly do the work in sandy soil The next
tiling is to plant, this can be done, in our
Southern climate, from the middle of No
vember to the end of March. I prefer root
ed plants, others give the preference to cut
tings, the first will save you one year, and
you can plant them deeper, which is a great
object. Make yourself a wooden compass,
with an opening of four feet six inches at
the points, and mark out the distance for
yonr vines in the bottom of the trenches,
drop the vines in their places, and proceed
to plant them. Two men with short-iian

have endeavored to give in such a manner as

I do not approve of summer pruning, vines
and fruit require all the shelter they can
muster to preserve them from our burning
centre at Augusta, offering to the world pure
ami luscious wines, of all hues and of all fla
vors.
I should state tb .t Dr. JfcDi.nald’s mode of
planting vines is more simple than mine He
makes no ditches, but only holes, about six
teen inches in diameter and eighteen deep, and

should not lose sight of pruning, it is to
modorate r.nd equalize the production of
fruit, theieby improving its quality, and
sparing the health and life of the vine. We
are often told that this or that person has a
vine, which is never prnned, climbs to the
summit of high trees, bears abundantly, is
very old, etc. A single vine is very differ
ent from twelve liuudred to tlie acre—and
in many parts of Italy, where they have a
dopted the tree culture, the quality of the
wine, which formerly ranked high, lias com
pletely been destroyed. I never wish to see
my vines average more than from twelve to
fifteen bunches each Quality is better than
quantity.
Tlie Catawba seemed to have usurped the
most prominent place among the natives. At
the West it is by fur tlie greatest favorite
perhaps, there are others do not succeed as
well. At the South, most persons arc fol
lowing in the wake of our Western brethren
and have taken it for granted that none oth

out a trial, or even without knowirg them
The Catawba is certainly a beautiful looking
grape, and a great bearer, l.ut it is honied
and wild musky flavor, (which is uufortun
ately too strongly retained in tlie wine.) is
a very serious objection for a palate neens

many others, have come to the conclusion
that they cannot stand our climate.

will nevertheless, in the field of intellectual
pursuits, find their equals, if not their su

eye of the vine will be about on a level with
the surface. Put a short stake to each vine,
to mark its place. There is nothing more
to do until the spring grass will call yonr
plows and liocs into use, then work them as
yon would corn or cotton. Yon may plant
two rows of corn or peas bet ween the rows,
and they will not interfere with the vines
in the least.
FIRST PRUNING.
In tlie winter, at any time between the
1st of December and tbe 15th of March, take
a sharp knife, remove every branch except
one, and ent that down above the second or
thild eye of the last growth, break the land
with a half shovel plow as for corn, passing

best tabic grape we have in this country.

vines are not great bearers, but tlie r fruit
does not rot.

SECOND PRUNING.
Tbe second winter’s Pruning is a repeti
tion of the first, bnt yon must replace the
tmll stakes by good lasting wood, from six
t.i eight f- .-t long. There will be some fruit.
The summer’s work is the same as above.
THIRD PRUNING.
The third winter's pruning is different,
remove all branches or canes, save the two
strongest, of these, cut the highest aboot
eighteen inches long, and the other abont
three inches—the longest is intended for
fruit; the latter, which is called -spur,’ is to
bend this long branch horizontally, and fas
