.OPERATIONS FOR NOVEMBER
Kitchen Garden.— Most of the directions giv
en for last month, will apply to the early part
of the present one. Radishes, Farsley. Spinach,
Lettuce, Broad Beans and Asparagus, may still
be sown. The main crop of Onions, black seed
and buttons, should be put in at once or delayed
until February. A few early Peas may now be
planted. New plantations of Artichokes, As
paragus, Rhubarb, Sea Kale, and other peren
nials should be made. Gather all crops liable V
suffer from frost. Cabbages are best preserved
by taking them up the last of the month and re
planting close together on the nortk.eide of a
fence or building. Lay over them a loose rrof
of a few plank or pino boughs, sufficient to
them from the sun. Frost will not injure them,
unless the sun strikes them while fro.«n. Con
tinue to earth up Celery in dry weeper.
Prepare a good supply of co^P 031 ® for spring
use, and to this end save alimlling leaves and
litter of ever}- description- This is the best
month for all operates upon ground, such
as terracing, trenctmg, laying out, &c. In
trenching for a garden, reserve the best
soil for the si Liace - Most crops do not thrive
on the stiff subsoil that is thrown up, which
general'/ requires a large addition of carbona
ceou, matters before it becomes suitable for gar
d«i products. Remove the haulm from Aspar
agus beds, manure them, and dig out the soil
from the alleys, and throw over the beds, to pro
tect the roots from frost. Early in the Spring
throw the earth back into the alleys and fork in
the manure among the roots, and you will find
the crop considerably hastened.
Fruit Garden. —Gather Pears and Apples
still on the trees. Immediately after the first
killing frost, the sooner you plant out fruit trees,
of all kinds, the bettor. Directions for preparing
the soil were given last month, which see. Better
delay planting a little, if need be, to have the
ground well prepared. Plant out cuttings of all
kinds, such as the Vine, Quince, Ac., the last
of the month. Quince cuttings in good soil will
generally make better stocks for pears next sea
son, than the rooted ones brought from the
North.
Strawberry plantations may still bo made. It
is also the best month for planting out the Rasp
berry. The American Red, Black Cap, and espe
cially the Catawissa, succeed best in our climate.
Seeds of all kinds of fruit trees should now be
planted.
Clear the fruit garden from all rubbish. —
Commence pruning fruit trees and the vine, as
soon as the leaves fall. Remove the earth from
the collar of your peach trees to expose the bo
rer. Look for him wherever gum exudes, and
remove him by digging out with a knife, or by
applying boiling water, which will kill the worm,
but not the tree. * Leave the collar exposed for a
time, and look over the trees again in two or
three weeks, to be sure you have entirely de
4troyed them. Many leave their trees thus un
it spring, believing the period of bloom is thus
retarded, the borer destroyed, and the tree itself
not injured.
Remove also the earth at the foot of each
vine to the depth of ten inches, and cut off all
the surface roots that have formed in summer.
You may even go down to the roots which start
at the base of the original cutting. The surface
roots being removed, the lower ones are less af
fected by atmospheric influences, and the vine
does not start so early in the spring, and is less
likely to suffer from spring frosts.
* Manure well, both orchard and cursery. ad
ding lime, ashes and bones, or bone dust to the
compost. Pear trees, especially those on the
quince, it is useless to plant, unless you are wil
ling to feed them. Be liberal in'this respect, and
■nothing will give you more satisfaction. Ma
nure now applied, is dissolved and sinks into
the soil with the winter rains, where it is imme
diately taken up by the roots, and the effect will
be seen at once in the season of growth.
Scions for grafting, of all kinds, may now be
cut, and kept in covered tin boxes, or glass jars
well corked, until needed for grafting. Put them
up dry and keep them in a cool place. Protect
Figs by a cover of green pine boughs, or lay
down the stems under the soil, and the first crop
will be saved.
Flower Garden —Carry out ail litter and de
cayed leaves, as they fall, and add to the compost
heap. Collect all stakes and rods used for sup
ports, tie iu bundles, and put under cover for
next season. This is a busy month for the flor
ist. Finish planting out bulbs of all kinds, at
once.
Sow the seeds of Coreopsis, Centaurea, Col
liasia, Rocket and Perenial Larkspur, Chinese
Pinks, Ervnimum, Eucharidium, Gilias Gode
tias, Candytufts, Nemophilas, Pansies, Holly
hocks, Wallflowers, Daisies and Polyanthus, as
..they will flower better if sown now, than if de
layed until spring.
Remove at once from the open ground, and
place hv. frames, pits, or the green-house what
ever you preserved of bedding or tender
plants, still gtwing in the open air, such as
Alutilons, Cestrhqig, Heliotropes, Loutanas, Sal
vias, Scarlet GerattVums, Halrothanmus, Aloy
nas,[&c., to use for theWno purpose another sea
son. \
Pot and keep in the or two of each
of your choice Verbenas, tlintVm may still have
a stock, should a hard winter destroy those you
leave in the open ground. Do thnkat once.
Let Dahlias remain in the days
after their tops are cut down by frost, then take
up their roots on a dry day, label carefuhy and
store them in a dry place, free from frost.
dioles, Tigridias, Sulveroses, take up, label, arkj
preserve away from frost, in boxes of dry sand.
tm'e somnßns&s vxasXtß in m&mzim.
This is the proper time for improving a new
piace, or remodeling the grounds of an old one.
j For everything but evergreens, which do better
i in spring, it is the season to transplant; and it is
; also the very best month for seeding lawns. All
; through upper Georgia, blue-gtnss succeeds per
-1 fectly. if lime or ashes dust are'applied,
I and a slight top dressing of manure is annually
j given. By all mcays have a lawn; and if blue
i grass will not sufficed, Bermuda is better than
' none. /
PerenialJ&ordw flowers, Dicentras, Phloxes,
ChrysanlKemuara, (after blooming,) Ac., may now
be sathy divided. All of them thrive bet
' terif takfU up, parted, and replanted in fresh
soil, ana many kinds perish entirely if kept in
the 3<me place over two or three years.
Cuttings of Roses, Pyrocanth and all orna
mental shrubs thus propogated, should now be
set out, it being the best season for the purpose
) while the earth is still warm and the atmosphere
cool.
Some half-hardy plants winter perfectly well
out of doors, if the roots and collar
by a few inches of fitter, tan, or light earth, to
bo removed when the spring opens.
Attend to all plants in pots, water gently when
' they really need it, and then only.
—— -mm-
REARING ORCHADISTS.
To have model orchadists, we must adopt the
rule which prevails as to the orchard; that is,
we must begin with very young plants. We
should be very careful to relieve the character of
any fruit from imputations of sevilo wrath and
juvenile stone-bruises; for these, being the‘Tun
of the thing,” enter so largely into its flavor, as
materially to impair the nice discrimination in
matters of taste which it is our business to cul
tivate.
Children of all ages have a strange propensity to
injure fruit trees, especially in respect to knock
ing the bark off. True, they have herein not
only the illustrious example of Washington, but
the published precepts of certain more modern
cultivators. As it is probable, however that a
tree is a little better oft' for its bark, especially
in a rabbit country, a due regard should be had
to this in the rearing of our young nursery
man.
A child (of any age) that “ chunks” a tree,
should be taught, on the spot by a twigular ap
plication of “ lex talionis” that the tree can hurt
back.
There is, however, very little difficulty In es
tablishing a mutual goad understanding between
a child and a fruit tree. The foundations of it
are laid deep in the nature of things, and they
will not disappoint the generous care that judi
ciously builds thereon.
Give the child a tree. Let it be a marvel of
its kind for thrift, beauty and productiveness.—
Guard it like Argus; let him perform every
manual operation conducive to its welfare; and
do you see that nothing is neglected that shall
insure the earliest success—for early success is a
life-long stimulant. Theu, if you shall fail to see
a development in the boy’s mental and physical
natura, commensurate with the care and expense,
you still have in reserve the pop-gun and the
poney, the plantation and hands, the idleness and
isolation to which his nature condemns and qual
ifies him.
It sometimes seems as though there was no
place for the moiety of the rising generation.—
The professions crowded ad nauseam ; the gov
ernmental offices beyond an honest man’s hope,
or a decent man’s desire; and daily labor under
our Southern sun, a condition to which no father
would condemn his child, if he could help it;
yet, if one were called upon to select an entirely
new business, on which to predicate the future
of his offspring, I don’t know of one to which he
should more seriously incline than that which
both the soil and climate as well as taste and
temper concur to make the most delightful, and
which the want, alone, of proper knowledge and
early training fails to make the most profitable
—I mean, of course, fruit raising.
Isn’t it time to raise Fruit Raisers ?

WHEN TO PRUNE.
It is now generally known that tho old theo
ry of the circulation of the sap, through the sets
of vessels, analogous to the arteries and veins in
animals, has been totally exploded by the more
accurate investigations of the microscope, and
the profound researches of modem philosophers.
Instead of a vascular system which was sup
posed to carry on the circulation of the juices,
for the nourishment and growth of the tree, it
is found that the entire vital and active portions
of all plants are made up of cups, performing
different functions in the vegetable economy.—
The first rudim nt of a plant being a single cells
out of which, or in which, from the absorption
of nourishment through its walls, are formed now
and additional cells, which constitute the whole
of the plant, be it ever so majestic, and what
may seem surprising and curious to those who
have not investigated tho subject, every perfect
cell in the plant, placed under favorable circum
stances. is capable of being developed into a
bud, a branch, or perfect tree.
In all trees belonging to the class of Exogeus,
the growth and enlargement is formed on the
outer surface, by the production of a new series*
of cells annually, after which the older cells,
which form the growth of previous years, be
come gradually broken up, and hardened into
woody layers, constituting the concentric circles
of which all trees of this class are composed.
The cells of tho last year’s growth, there
fore. may be regarded as the only vital portion
of the plant, which is upheld and supported in
its position by the inner old wood, like the Vir
ginia creeper—ampelopsis quinquefolia—by the
dead trank of an old tree. These newly formed
cells, are divided into two layers, forming the
inner bark and tho outer sap-wood. In autumn
and during the winter, these cells are plethoric
with the nourishment laid up in store, awaiting
the vivifying effects of a vernal sun to awaken
from their slumber and give birth to another
generation of similar cells, developing the buds,
leaves and flowers.
Now let us observo the consequences of cut
ting oft' a limb in winter or spring, before the
cells have exhausted their store of starch, gum,
sugar and gluten, in the expansion of leaves
and flowers, and in the extension ot branches.
Every cell, surrounding the base of the branch
that is cut away, whose store was laid up for
the growth of that branch, forms a bud and
bursts through tho bark in the form of what is
• termed water-sprouts whereas, if the pruning
is omitted till mid-summer; when the contents
of these cells have become exhausted by the
protrusion of buds, leaves, and young branches,
and are beginning to decay, as it were, branch
es may then be cut away with no injury to the
tree. No water-sprouts will follow the opera
tion, and the filling up of the new cells by the
full growth, incorrectly ascribed to the descend
ing sap, will go far toward healing over the
wound, if not too large. This deposit, taking
place so soon after pruning, and at a season
usually dry, there will lie little exposure of the
stump, which becomes so condensed that no
decay ensues until healed over.
The same principles that apply to pruning,
should also be in the removal of suck
ers from the roots around the trunks of trees.
When grubbed off in spring, they are followed
by a multiplication of the number in summer;
but if carefully removed in July, or early in
August, they rarely return.
The almost universal practice of pruning in
the winter or spr ; n< founded on
the supposition t .. . • ‘SMakwi mant at
this season, and would not feel the effects of the
amputating knife. It is true that trees may be
said to slumber, but if these branches be lopped
off during that slumber, they awaken in. spring
with a sort of vengeful effort to restore the am
putated part, by throwing out a multiplicity of
sprouts to repair the loss. A less philosophical
argument perhaps, for pruning at this improper
season, may be urged from the greater freedom
from other more pressing occupations in winter
and spring.— [Communication 'of Dr. S. Mosher
to the Cincinnati Horticultural Society, 1859.
Fixe Catawba Wixe.. —We aro under obli
gations to Mr. A. B. Sprinkle, of Marion for a
bottle of very fine Catawba wine, manufactured
by himself, and the product of his own garden.
From nino vines, we learn, he manufactured one
hundred and forty gallons, which is worth, when
bottled, six dollars per gallon. The specimen
ho has sent is pronounced excellent by those
who are capable of judging. The soil and cli
mate of South Western Virginia are peculiarly
adapted to the growth of the grape, and tho
time, we imagine, is not very distant when wine
is to become one of our great staples. The south
sides of our mountaius and hills would, if plant
ed with vines, yield a larger profit for the labor
than our bottoms and plains do from cereals.—
Lieut. Jones, of this county, we understand, has
planted a vineyard and is preparing extensively
to manufacture wine.— [Abingdon Virginian.

NOTICE TO FARMERS & PLANTERS.
TJAIIEUE is great demand for a strong and permanent
A “ Fertilizer,” and experience of late years has prov
en the inefficiency of imported manures for sectring
crops and renovating soils. To meet the wants of the
times, and give to exhausted lands of the Atlantic and
Gulf countries, a superior fertilizer at moderate cost,
we havo pleasure in calling attention to tho valuable
compound made at the Highlands. New Jersey, and en
titled the “NATIONAL FERTILIZER'’ suited to
staples of eveiy section.
It is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, and tbor
ougly dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thusaflbrding food in
ready form for assimilation to plant With tiles,, osuon
stltuting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, are then also
commingled large proportions of Marine Fish, King
Crabs, and other erlistaeea, yielding the properties Am
monia—as deposited by birds of the Guano Islands. To
prevent escape of this volatile element, a modicum of
Green Shell Marl Is ssed. By virtue of this the ammonia
resulting from decoui|>osed fish, is at once fixed and laid
dormant, till by natural process it is set free, and grad
ually absorbed" by vegetation as it progresses. With
three important esscitials, Potash and Soda, as combined
with soluble Silica, are chemically manipulated, and the
entire mass Is ultimately made fine, dry, and immediate
ly applicable to soil. The “ National Fertilizer,” as
shown in Circulars, it so compounded by change of these
and other valued ingredients, ns to be suited in diversi
ties to any particular staple of the United States. The
Company's Works aid Fisheries are very extensive, and
though their enterprise is but recently starteiLthey have
a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer
tilizer for the Cereal Grains, Cotton, Vegetables. Ac., and
another specifically (or Tobacco, and another»for Sugar
Cane ; thus giving to plants those aliments peculiarly
adapted to them, and which, hv rotation of crops, they
are known to extract constantly from the land. Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this manure.
It is 30 percent less tost per ton than Peruvian Guano,
but requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren
ovator. The National Fertilizer fulfils the two-fold ob
ject of being stimulant to growth, and invigorator to
soil.
Mode of use: broadcast sowing—drilling—or deposit
ing in hills. It possesses but half the moisture of Guano,
and suffers less deterioration by carriage.
Price S4O per Ton. of 2000 lbs, but up in strong bags
of 200 pounds each, or in new barrels, all stamped with
Company's brand, and shipped to any order in the United
States. Agents established In all the cities. A fair trial,
with discreet and liberal attention, is solicited.

at 12% cents per yard for plain, and 16 for twills—finding
every material except the wool. The extensive and
constantly increasing patronage the Factory has enjoyed
for past years, assures the proprietors that the article of
Winter Clothing for negroes, made by them, has not been
surpassed by any cloth made North or South.
Recent extensive improvements, and others now being

and to secure an early delivery.
Planters, or others, who may wish to send ns wool to
be made into cloth, can send it dirty or clean. If washed,
it should be done in cold water, and done thoroughly. If
sent dirty, we charge half cent per yard extra for wash
ing. Burry Wool is not objectionable; the burs are re
moved by mnehinery. The"name of the owner should be
marked upon every package sent.
Wool sent by railroads in Georgia, Alabama, Tennes
see, or South Carolina, to the Augusta depot, with tho
owner’s name, and “Richmond Factory” marked upon
it, will be regularly and promptly received, and the cloth,
when made, returned to the points directed. Each par
cel is made up in the turn received.
We would especially urge upon our patrons the great
necessity of sending in the wool as soon as clipped ; if
this rule is followed, the parties would always be sure of

SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE,
A LITERARY AND AGRICULTURAL PAPER
Published Weekly, in Augusta, Georgia.
Dr. D. LEE, Agricultural Editor.
W. W. MANN, Literary Editor.
WM. N. WHITE, Horticultural Editor.
i
Devoted to Agriculture, Literature, and Art It is in
quarto form of eight pages, folio size—each issue con- ,
taining forty columns of matter. In mechanical execu- 1
tion, it is in the best style of the typographical art In
utility, it will be all that the best agricultural science and
practical knowledge of the South can furnish. A weekly
visitor to the homes of Southern Planters and Farmers,
it will be more useful and acceptable to them th»n any
monthly journal of equal merit
In mental attractions, it will be all that a spirit of en
terprise on my part, and a laudable emulation on the part
of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and cultiva- ‘
tion.
Too long the Southern people have been content to look 1
to Northern periodicals for instruction in agricultural *
matters, and to Northern literary papers for mental rec
reation. There is, however, a growing spirit of inde
pendence and of self-reliance at the South. Our people
are awaking to the conviction that we have the elements
of success in the experience, knowledge, and scientific
investigation, of the dwellers in our own Southern homes.
The truth is gleaming upon us, that we have literary re
sources of own worthy to be fostered—that among South
ern writers should be divided some portion of that vast
stream of Southern money that flows perpetually north
ward to sustain Northern literature. i
My aim is to establish a paper that will be a vehicle o '
information useful to Southern Planters and Farmers, and
a repository of Southern thought, imagination and taste,
in the realms of Literature and Art; and to obtain for it
such an extent of patronage and success, as will justify
the most liberal compensation to all its contributors *
Able and experienced editors are engaged, and steps are
in progress to secure contributions from the most pleasing
Southern writers, of both sexes. Much latent talent will i
be brought to light, and furnish some agreeable surprises
to Southern people.
“ Full many a gem, of purest ray serene,” J
will flash before their admiring eyes, and cause a gen
erous glow of pride in Southern genius.
The Agricultural Editor is I)r. Daniil Lei, the dis- i
tinguished Professor of Agriculture in the Unlverity of
Georgia—editor for many years past of the Southern
Cultivator , and a leading contributor to many Northern
agricultural journals of the highest reputation.
The Horticultural EditorisMr. W». N. WmTE,asklll
ful and experienced cultivator of fruits, flowers, and vegc- J
tables —a writer of repute in these departments, and au
thor of that popular work, “Gardening for the South.”
The Literary Editor is Mr. W. W. Mann, of this 1
city, an accomplished writer, of fine taste, and scholarly
attainments, who, having retired from the active duties
of the legal profession, spent many years in Europe, and <
was for several years the Paris Correspondent of the Na
tional Intelligencer and Southern Literary Messenger.
THE SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE will
combine the useful and the agreeable. It will furnish
the Southern Farmer information useful in every field he
cultivates, and the Southern family choice literature, the t
offspring of Southern intellect, worthy of welcome at
every llreside. It will be, in all respects, a first class pa- .
per—on a scale of expenditure more liberal than has yet
been attempted in the South, and designed to rival, in its
merits, the most distinguished of the North.

POLITICS, COMMERCE, NEWS.
TIIE CONSTITUTIONALIST is published, Daily, 1
Tri-Weekly, and Weekly, in Augusta, Ga.
In politics, it is Democratic. In its spirit and alms,
Conservative. In its commercial tables and statements, t
accurate and reliable. In its news department, prompt,
industrious, truthful. In its telegraphic arrangements,
its facilities are unsurpassed. They are, in all respects,
fully up to the requirements of the day.
The Constitutionalist belongs emphatically to the
school of State Rights and Strict Construction. Its prin- f
cipli-s are those of the Democratic Party, as set forth by
the National convention at Cincinnati It Is the advo
cate of the sovereignty of the States and the union of the h
States; but not one without the other. It Is for the equal *
rights of the States, and of each section.
For the South it claims equality in the Union, or inde- f
pendence out of it.
A uniform, firm, and consistent course for the thirty
seven years of its existence, is a guarantee of fidelity to
its principles.
