Rice Culture In tlie Mouth. From the New York Bulletin, 34 iust.f Though feotton ts the mainstay or the South and the chief source of its prosiHirtty, the rice tnido is of uo lit tle importance, end ought not to bo overlooked In reckoning the agricul tural wealth of that section. This trade is steadily progressing, and promises well for the future. Taking Louisiana, for example, the follow ing statistics show a gradual increase since 1804: Uhls. Uhls. 1864-65 9,800 1870 71 37,500 1805 (16 11,000 1871 73 30,000 1866- 30,450 1873 73 53,000 1867- 31,600 1873 74 90,000 1868 09 9,000 187-1 75 101,000 1869 70...... 5,800 1875-70,e5t.300,000 Thus we have a steady improve ment, which is most gratifying, es pecially when it is considered that the yield before the war was so in considerable that no statistics were kept. Bnt the planters evidently do not mean to rest here. During' the present season, which is classified as that of 1875 6, there lias been a much larger acreage planted than ever be fore, and, with favorable weather for harvesting, which lias already commenced, it is given as a reasona ble estimate that the yield will reach 200,000 barrels. To show to what extent some of the plunters in Louisiana are engag ed in this culture, it may bo stated ■that one grower who lias control of three plantations in the parishes of St. Bernard and Plaquemines, lias about B,ouo acres ia rice. It is sta ted us a fact that notwithstanding some drawbacks, the cultivation of this staple is fully as remunerative as any other crop, if not more so. Yet we are told that thousands of rich bottom lands, entirely suitable for the cultivation of rice and easy of irrigation, are now lying idle in that State. Much depends upon the river, as too much of an overflow or too low water, never fails to have a marked effect on tho yield. In 1874, if it had not hud boon for the floods, where 90,500 barrels were harvested, there might have been (according to plan ters’ estimates.) 150,000 barrels. The planters, however, lost uo money that season, fair prices repaying them for their time. The parishes engag ed in rice growing, are Plaquemines, St. Bernard, Orleans, Jefferson, St. Charles, St. John, St. James, Ascen sion, Assumption and Lafourche. St. Mary is ulso trying its hand at it in tlie lied Biver bottom lands. The Carolinas and Georgia are also making steady progress in tlie same field of industry, but not so rapidly as Louisiana. The enormous destruc tion of property in those States dur ing the war. By which rice planta tions suffered severely, threw the in dustry many years behind, and caus ed a falling off in the annual yield of fully 125,000 casks. Before the war, theeropin the Carolinas and Geor gia reached from 189,000 to 210,000 casks eacli season, tun variation be ing due to favorable or unfavorable weather. The yield in the Atlantic States during the past live years has been as follows: 4871. 1573. IKM. *.74, Casks. Cusks. (’asks. (’auk*. Georgia 11.200 19.874 23,700 2*2,000 H, Carolina. 4 2,272 47.240 Ju.200 N. Carolina. .*4OO 000 Total 54,602 67.714 <>7,380 72,200 There is considerable less acreage in rice in the Carolinas and Georgia than before the war. When a lice field is left uncultivated fora num ber of years, as during the rebellion, it takes much time to get it in good yielding order again. A steady im- j proveraent, however, from now on may be looked for. The Carolinas, for the season just ending, have pr<> duced about the same as last year, and during the season about to begin | a handsome increase is expected. Thenj, hits been a good business in rice doing in this market lately, and prices have been firm at quotations a little above those current at this time last year. Rome small lots of the new crop have arrived at Charleston and New Orleans and have brought , full prices. j T. S. SPEAR, No. 101 Broad St., Columbus, Ga.

G REAT English Remedy THE Cordial Balm of Syricuin, AND TONIC PILLS, EOR NERVOUS AND GENERAL DEBILITY Premature Decay, Over Imlitlffenre In the Csr of Opium nr Alcoholic Drinks, Tobacco. Ac. \i:rc\ors ni niLrn The Press, the Pulpit and the Lecture room are silent on the subject of this disease. A false delicaey withholds a knowledge in regard to vio lation of Physiological laws, and life-wreeks siiattered humanity, uisauity, and premature graves till tho world. No race, nation or posi tinn Is exempt from the soul-destroying scourge. Hloepless nights, twitching of the muscles, trembling of the liiuhs, poor appetite, easily dis turbed by noise or excitement, pimples and blotches on the face, desire to avoid company, pe culiar sensation over the whole body are among the difficulties which attend this complaint. The Cordial Balm of Syricum and Tonic Pills will in a short tune so cleanse the blood and soothe the nerves, uud restore strength to tho body, as to make life enjoyable and happy, EPILEPSY OU FITS. No other remedy will enre Epilepsy or Fits so quickly as the Cordial lialm of Hyrieum and Tonic Pills. Kidney Diseases and many other diffl*-tilties are cured by the use of the Cordial Halm of Syrup uud Tonic Pills. If the watery portions of our food are not pass ed tiff, they must, when retained in tho system, produce serious difficulties. Language fulls when attempting to describe the sufferings of per sons whose kidneys are out of order ; gravel, back-ache, inflammation of the bladder and of the (ielicate membranes of the urinary organs are the j result if the water is not regularly and properly carried through the kidneys. The Cordial Balm of Syricum is effectual in promoting the secretion of tho wa tery and uunutritious portions of the food, aud in carrying it off by its proper outlets. Whatever portion of our food is unserviceable should be paused off in the water In sweat, and from Hie bowels. If these useless matters are retained disease is sure to follow, for then the blood becomes poisoned with the impurities which should pass off in their proper channels. The Cordial Balm of Syricum and Tonic Pills ! is a powerful cleanser of the blood; it starts the : liver ami kidneys into active operation, aud acta jon all the secretions of the body. It carries off I old and foul elements iu the blood, which are slow and sure death If allowed to remain in the | system. dh uiixr xoiuvisss. | THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYIil- CUM AND TONIC PILLS j is the only remedy that has ever proved by prac- I tical experience a benefit to those who suffer from I over-indulgence in Alcoholic Liquors, it com* j pletely destroys the tastes for them, and restores the victim to health and vigor. A single trial will i prove it to be lust what it is recommended to be. MOHJPHIKTB. THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRI- CtJM AND TONIC PILLS lis a sure cure for the habitual use of Mor phine, so extensively used iu this country as a stimulant, it will in a very short time com pletely destroy the desire for tuis narcototic. We have many testimonials from the first fami lies iu Europe and America, who testify to its efficacy. OPIU M. The alarming increase of the use of this most pernicious drug as a stimulant, by male aud fe male. aud its peculiar effects, completely destroy ing the digestive apparatus and shattering the nervous system, effeminating and debasing the mind, renders The Cordial Balm of Syricum and Tonic Pills of inestimable value, as it completely destroys all I desire for this most hanetnl drug, ami restores | the nerves to a perfectly healthy state, even iu I cases where opium has been used in large quauti- J tics and for a number of years.
