Agricultural Life. The tollowing parallel between the lives profession al, mercantile, and agricultural, we take from a highly interesting address deLvci-dby the Hon. Garnett And'ews last fall at Mucou. The address j was before the Central Agricultural Society ofGeor* | gia ; many extracts have been copied from it but j none more intrinsically valuable than this. Such of i our readers as a v e tillers of the soil, would do wellto look over it in times of drought, and short crops— we can make but one objectionto it, and that is that it makes every man who reads it, anxious to “vote n ini self a farm ” “I have given it as my opinion, that agriculture is more remunerative than any other employment in the country. I believe there are now more men of property in Georgia, who began life without capital, than, were at one tune overseers; than any other pur pui* r • greatelement of profit to the agricultural verlook and is the support of a family in ri jpoclability. Let him who is educat ing mac. n, having servants to relieve his wife and daughters from the drudgery of domestic labor, horses to ride, a house to elicit r, und gardens and fields to feed in plenty, but who complains that he makes nothing because he ‘lays up nothing,’ Sf 11 out his homestead,and see if he can appropi ate the pro ceeds in any other way that will give li m the com fort and independence now derived from his suppos ed thriftless capital. But I am prepared with some statistics that, will be more satisfactory than any spec ulation 1 can make. “I have gone into one of the old counties in Geor gia, where probably the law ‘rs as .i body, have hcen quite as prosperous as in any other, with one exception and more prosperous than in a majority of the counties of the state. Within the last thirty five years forty-five, of the profession have been set tled at the county court house, two ot whom have made fortunes worth from seventy five to a hundred thousand dollars, three from twenty totifty thousand dollars; nine have made from a scanty to a liberal support for their families; a few perhaps increasing their property a trifle: seven may have supported themselves only; and twenty four, beinga majority of the whole,made less than a support for themselves. Some ol the two last class were men of fortune,inde pendently of their profession, und, like sensible men abandoned a business which ‘would not pay.’ And sum > other clusses had other quite important means besides their professi inal pursuits. “ The same town, during the same period, has had settled in it twenty-eight practising physicians, who have succeded, I have no doubt, quite as well, il not better, than a majority of their brethren in Georgia; five of whom have made forianes varying from twenty-five to fifty thousand dollars from a ecanty to a liberal support for their families the other fifteen being a majority, have made less than a support, to nothing. Some few ot the latter class were men of property, able to live independently of profession al aid. Some of the two first classes had other means than professional support. “In the same town, and at the same time, there have been training one hundred and sixteen mer chants and grocers. Seven of the?c, some .villi handsoxie capitals, to begin with, have made for tunes varying fr.-m thirty to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ; , twelve from ten to thirty thou . and dollars ; twenty-eight have averaged interest on capital and lair wages lor their labor, the re maining sixty nine were failures “In these statistics 1 liavi ,leftJwidc margins, because ot t e impossibility of accurate information, though much labor and ea v * have been spent, and! hope succi s-fully,to to the truth; they are near enough, however, ioi my purpose. They afford some data by v bich those who complain of the wnt of reward for agricultural labor and capital, may compare them with other pursuits, and by which y -ung men who aie begining life mu) nave some e-timate (if the chances of laiiurein those occupa tions which usually attract them ’’ In immediate connection with the foregoing, we find the following paragraph, which commends it self alike for itsjtrutli and beauty : “Not an unimportant consideration is it that you make yourself a man physcially capable oienjoying the blessing with which the infinite Beneficence has crowned the earth. Thepower to labor is quite as important as the ability to live without it. The capacity to enjoy food and raimenths of as much consequence as their possession. Universal assent lias saved me the labor ot stopping to shov\ that our employment is the most favorable to a sound body ; .1 along life, which are quite as reliable for the great staple happiness,us riches, which so often take to themselves wings and fly away. Is the power to wag a winning tongue everything, and the power to wield a strong arm nothing? is the power to use a ready pen every thing,and to be fleet of loot.and robust ot form, ’to stand erect and look on Heaven,’ iug? Is the distinction being known by all, to be praised by one half, and cursed by the other, every thing. and the respect ot a.l who do not know you, nothing? Are the cheers of an inconstant crowd everything, and songs of joy and bursts ot merrimeut ot your own constant household nothine ? One of thejrnost discouraging signs of the time-? i3, the appearance—or rather, 1 tear, the for the appearan* *‘ —of essays, to prove the uignityof lnoor.’ As il the necessity for labor, the honorable impulse to secure an honest independence and ex erci*e of the faculties given us by God, to earn our bread in the sweat oI our brows, were not sufficient to induce a strong man to live without theft or beg gary—direct'y or indirectly—unless these evils can be in a dignified manner. 1 tell you that a people who are willing to encoii’.,. r beggary or theft, m some form, rather than labor, till it is proven to be dignified, are ready to recede into barbarism, or run into the excesses ot anarchy .’’ Decisive Battles.— The Decisive Battles of the World, those of which, to use llallam’s words, “ a contrary event would have essentially vaiied the drama of the world in all its subsequent scenes,” are numbered as fifteen by Professor Creasy, who fills tin; chair of . irient and Modern History in tli I Diversity ofLonu .: they are the grand subject of two volumes by him, just from Bentley’s press.

SAVANNAH, GA- Thursday Afternoon, Alienist 12, 1 852 (y The steamship State of Georgia, Capt. J. E. Walton, left this port for Philadelphia yesterday, | at 3J o’clock, P. M. with profitable freights, 39 cabin | and 12 steerage passengers. The meeting Uut night, as might have been expected from the inclemency of the weather, was I small in point of numbers. After the appointment of j a Committee cf five to report to an adjourned meet ing the names of six suitable Convention on the 17th lust, the meeting adj urned to 8} o’clock at the c ame place this evening. The I Committees report will be submitted on the occa. sion. j Kup.glaby ! —A successful robbery was perpetra l ted last night between the hours of 8 and 10 o ’clock at the store of Mr. J. M. Jones, (Watchmaker) on St’ Julien-street, next door to Messrs. J. M. Cooper & Co’s book store. The entrance was effected by for cing the bolt at the top of the half-door, which once broken in, allowed the lock to yield easily to a moderate push. Mi. Jones’ cases were plundered of watches and Jewellery to the amount of some S7OO 00. About ten watches were stolen (some of them valuable gold ones); the jewelleryjwas assorted. Fortunately, the articles stolen were the property of Mr. J., and not of his customers , we wish he may have the good luck to recover his property and bring the rogue to justice. Mr. Jones was absent at the time of the burglary, in attendance on a Lodge meet ing, and the act was evidently committed by some one familiar with his habits and with the premises. The Pavement in Monument Square —This beautiful Square, just about now, is a small chaos, of cold chisels, flag, and curb-stones, and sandy hillocks. The pavements, however, are gradually assuming shape and semblance, and before they get into solid embodiment, may we be allowed a sug gestion. We never laid down a pavement in all our life, but wo wish to lay down a law, or rather call attention to one in hydraulics, which has been laid down for centuries; it is the inevitable tenden cy of water and wine to run downhill. Now, this being an established fact, instead of slanting tho new pavement from North to South in a gentle slope, thus producing a working-model of the Passaic lulls, (in wet weather) would it not boas wellto make an obtuse angle in the centre of the pave, and incline it downwards East and West. This would mak** t ic walk comparatively dry—distribute the water among the grasses in the square, and not over* whelm Congress-street with the deluging floods. “A word to the pavers, &c.” An Humble Picture of Contentment.—To be contented is the ultimathule of life—it is the true phi losopher’s stone if men would but believe it; yet, to find it, own and keep it, is the prime cause of all the bustle and hurry-scurry which we find the world over. Some men affect it, and pretend to stoicism ; (such men are the most sensitive of the human race) some look back “to childhood, and enjoy over again the doicefar .. vof that blissful perio d—the senti mental, whisper oi love in a cottage, but that notion is exploded, and ballads have given way to arias — The tub of Diogenes hath grown unfashionable— t he moderns prefer four Hushing wheels and a pair of bays; while Socratian philosophy, and Platonism have yielded the palm to the philosophy of money; h mits are to be found now a days,only in vaults,and yet despite the march of improvement and of mind thejwor! . :!•?._ lor contentment. We saw a pic ture of it last Monday on Bull street which we will try to put upon paper—the principal features was an old waggon, so small you couldn’t help wondering how it came by four wheels—in the shafts was the counterpart if not the ghost of Rosinante, and on the platform above the wheels, happier than any lord, proud r than any saltrop, sat an aged Ethiop with li white as a patriarch’s,and a beard of silver grey which Mahommed might have envied. By his side was an old box branded “Regalias;” over one foot hung the reins with easy nonchalance ; in one hand a small stick, and in the other was poised a crab ! With the rapidity of thought, the crabs were separated from tue regalias.cracked by the baton, in his right hand and carried to that portal by the left, where joys alight but to fly away! We could but admire it, and as the old man drew near us, he paused a moment in his enjoyment, displayed a set ol ivories in glittering con trast with the bright carnation of his favorite shell fish, and then with gushing zest, which types will not express, at one dire swoop he scooped ou ! the delicious tit bit with his teeth, and ere wo knew it had cracked another shell, and repeat’ ‘the pro cess. The last we saw of him as Rosinante went round a corner, his arms were still flying, and his stick still clearing for him the way to delight. There sighed we, is a happy man—what a treat it would be to see him over turtle-soup!

By an amendment in the bill $200,000 is appropria ted for the continuance of the Custom House a t Charleston. Brazil and the U. S. —The New York Times, publishes a letter from Rio Janeiro, calling attei tion to tiie great inequality in trade between these two countries. We take from Brazil half of her coffee crop, for which wu pay her millions of dollars and allow it entrance, duty free, into our ports. Every j thing that we send to Brazil is taxed with heavy du. | j ties—on ffour tne duty is 30 per cent., on furniture 45 per cent., on carriages 15u per cent., and no article of export whatever is admitted under 50 per cent- Mr. Schoiick has called the attention of the Brazilian Government to this unconscionable inequality, and is answered with a shrug of the shoulders. Tin Times [ correspondent suggests that we put a tar *’ u lira, zilian Coffee. Tit for tat, say w* The Expedition to Japan. — We published yes- ‘ terday among our foreign items, an extract from the Amsterdam Handesblad, to the effect that j tho U. S, Government would probably prefer the mediation of Holland, to acting itselt in this important enterprise. The Journal du Commerce , (Antwerp) says : “ The King of Holland has undertaken to mediate between the United States and Japau, and it is added, that in consequence of such mediation the American Gov ernment would abandon the proposed expedition to Japan.” Capt. Marcy and his Command.—The last news seems to indicate that the first melancholy news *s correct. There have been however so many differ ent statements, contradictions, and reiterations,that I we await further developments before we cau ar rive at any positive conclusion. SAVANNAH JOURNAL, THURSDAY. AUGUST 12,1852. The .Street C rowings* VVe are not about to suggest the sweeping ot the uroseings, (though that would certainly do away with much dust in dry . “, and much mud in wet) —nor are we going to complain of the breaks : iu the crossings, requiring a good pair of legs some times to take one over—nor to point our paragraph with the unsightliness of those diminutive levees we saw yesterday, raised on eai i side of the gaps to allow the free passage of the discolored waters; nor yet to complain that there are not crossings enourh. VVe know the trouble, and expense and “bother” re- j quired to keep up these little pine causeways in a | city whose level plain, and granulated soil, render I the crossing an indispensable. VVe wish simply to suggest the addition of a third plank here and there where two only are now laid down. The crossings are wide enough for single file—but when double columns try to maintain their plank,one or the other is sure to run aground. When pedestrian meets pe destrian, then comes the tug of dilemma—u dilem ma, many-horned,and Gordian in its kuoitiness. On our way home yesterduj .to that most gonial of home enjoyments, that most delectable of all meals, tea , we encountered a gentleman on Whitakcr-st. at a, crossing,and then and there came off’as pretty a little struggle for supremacy in politeness as ever took place in ball-room or parlor. He was a stranger to ns, we unknown to him—he had an umbrella, so hud we—we were thinking of the celestial beverage, and u kind placidity of countenance, a foreshadov ig expression of bliss expected, assured us lhat he mo was regaling his imagination Wnh visions ol’ steam’ ing Souchong or Young Hyson—the glittering para phernalia oi the tea-table shone upon his visage; lie was an old man about sixty, we a young one, about (we had liked to have disclosed one of the dark est eecretsoi our bosom)-—wo arrived simultaneous’ ly at the ends of the crossing—a little Styx without a Charon rolled its dark waves between us—tho plank both could not walk—which should give way? Our resolution was at once taken, and we took the mud, resolved to clear Styx at a bouud—no sooner did our opponent perceive our move than he check mated, and also took the mud. He got safely, but muddily over; cur left foot took a bath in Styx ; our umbrellas had a little spat at each other as we passed drenching us belli with their dripping superfluity and so, with a mutual laugh we parted company Now what were we to do? Balance ourselves on the edge ol the plank? VVe were not rope-dancers ! Jos* tie eacli other bumpingly as we passed? VVe were strangers in quest of tea, and not of a quarrel! One or the other monopolize and drive his opponent into the mud? Impossible! lluw could we? Or do as we did, resign the plank and both take the mud and water? Corns and foot-mats protest! No, thought we, the best plan would be to mention tho thing to our “city fathers”—and so gentlemen have we done. Journalisings.

Tiie Farmerville (La.,) Inquirer , says the crops are better in that region than ever before. They have had too much rain tor cotton, but the yield will be over the average. Corn in the fall will pro bably sell at 30 and 40 cts. per bushel. The Plaqucmine (La.) Sentinel —that the weather has been hot in the day, cold at night with frequent rains; it mentions also a line cargo of Irish pota toes which have been sent to N. Orleans,—the first export it says of the kind Iroin its vicinity. The Jackson (Miss.) Star— that heavy rains have greatly inju ■ * crops in that section. The Gr (Ala.,) Beacon —that the weather has been clear and highly favorable to the growing crops. The Franklin Banner —that the cane and corn this year are unsurpassed. Heavy rains in that neighborhood—the cane crop will be smaller than usual, on account of the unusual amount of corn planted. The Helena (Ark.) Shield —that the corn and cot ton are of the most promising character. The Ouachita (La.) Register —that the crops are very forward, and a heavy yield of both cotton and corn are counted on. The Charleston (S.C.) Standard,on reliable authori ty —that the cotton worm has made its appearance in the neighborhood of Beaufort. Brazil Cotton.—We have received through the polite attention of the Hon. Wm. Aiken, a sample of Brazil Cotton, from the valley of the Amazon,pro cured by Lieut. Herndon, in his recent explorations of that river. It is very beautiful in appearance but wanting in strength of staple, and, though it rnb'ht possibly be improved by cultivation, in its present condition it is unfit for manufacturing t lrpoees. [Charleston Mercury, 1 \th inst. A grand project has been proposed at Paris by the Abbe Mo ; gno, a scientific writer of some note, and author ol a work on telegraphing. It is to es tablish in the Paris de Coulogne, at the ga-s of the captal, a model, in relief, of Europe, with all its towns, cities, rivers, lakes, railways mountains and forests. Each country and each town would occupy space exactly proportioned to their real extent; every mountain would resemble, in geological construction and form, that which it would represent; and every river and railwav would be of real water and rril iron, and in length so many yards to the mile. The singular model would occupy several acres. The expense of forming it, would, it is admitted, be enor mous; but that the Abbe contends would be an unim portant consideration, compared to the instructoin it would afford, not only to youth, but to people of all ages and professions, and the striking addition it would prove to the curiosities of the grand villa.— Charleston Courier. Georgian Beauty.—ln Europe, by a Georgian female is usually understood a tall, slender crea ture, of voluptuous figure, wrapped in ample rich apparel, with thick black hair, ong enough to en twine its glossy fetters round the hearts ot men, with an open, noble forehead, and a pair of eyes within 1 those d-. k . mysterious magic circle the secrets of all delights of sense and soul 1 if* spell-bound. Her Mis luxury. Joy goes before her. and admiration follows her. The dowers on which she treads look upwards, trembling with delight as they die, and exhale their fragrance as an offering to her beauty. With such ideas do strangers usually come to Geor gia. and—find themselves singularly undeceived— Travellers who with expectationsraieed high.setsfoot on a land surrounded by history and tradition with a tissue of wonder, either obstinately abide by their previously-formed opinion, or hastily pass to the other extreme, and find to their amazement everything filthy, ugly, loathsome. The truth lies in the midst. The people of Georgia, taken as a whole are undeniably one of the must beautiful ra ces of people on the earth ; but although I am a great lover of woman, 1 must in this case give, with uncon ditional preference, the palm to the male sex.— Herein ail those cultivated inhabitants of Georgia vno have eye, taste, and an impartial judgment, agree with me. Nay, I must add to this, that higher beauty which exists where spirit , heart and mind are reflected in the eye there are in the Caucasus lew traces to be found, among women as well as among men. 1 have had a fair chance of seeing ull that Georgia contains of womanly beauty, but have never beheld a face that has fully satisfied me,although the gr&cefql costume of the tairinhabitants of the laud contributes very much to tin* heightening of their charms The face is altogether wanting in that nobler spiritual expression which lends to our fair Europeans an irresistible charm. Industry of the Insane.—The change that has taken place of late years in the treatment of insane patients, presents one of the finest features in the civil nation of the age; but the boon of wholesome labor is, perhaps, the greatest benefit that lias yet been conferred upon this class of sufferers. The fact is strikingly illustrated in the annual report for the last year of the Itoyal Ediuhurg Asylum. The number of patients treated was seven hundred and thirty-eight, and at the close of the year there re mained as inmates four hundred ana seventy-six— j •t this latter number, upwards of three hundred : id eighty were employed daily, and sometimes as j many cs one hundred working in the open air in the j extensive grounds of the Asylum. “ Ainoug these,” j says Dr. Skae, “may be daily seen many of the most violent and destructive of the inmates busily 1 engaged in wheeling earth, manure, or aiones, who for years have done little else than destroy their | clothing, or sp ml their days and nights in restless i agitation, or incoherent raving. The strong neces- | sity which appears to exist, in many cases, for con tinual movement, or incessant noise, seems to find vent as naturally in active manual labor, it it can with any propriety be substituted and regulated.”— And a curious illustration of this is given in the case of “ one ot the most violent, restless, and unmanage able inmates of the asylum during the past year,” whose calling was that of a miner”. He was *• tall and muscuU • and occupied himself, if permitted to mix with pursuing his fellow-patients, andfight • o , if hut alone in the airing courts,in runi.aig i„uiid and knocking his elbows vi olently on the stone walls ; and if secluded, in conti nual vociferations and iuccssant knocking on the wall. I directed him to be sent to the grounds, and employed with the wheelbarrow—a special attend ant being eutrusted with him o*i his debut. Hard i work seemed to be all lie required. He spent his superfluous energies in wheeling stones; he soon i proved him-elf to be one of the most useful and ! able-bodied of the awkward squad, and ere long was restored to his natural condition—that of a weak i minded but industrious coal-miner*” Oakum-picking proves a useful occupation, not only for imbeciles capable of no higher industry, ! but for malingerers and idlers, who are soon anx | roue to escape from it into the shoemaker's, tailor's blacksmith’s, or carpenter’s shops. “In the same manner the females have been gradual))’ broken into bubUa ol industry to a degree hitherto unprecedent ed.
