So,cn Corn Fodder.--Mr. Benjamin
Litlon of Davidson informs us, that from
about three acres of land, he cut the past
autumn, twenty hay loads of first rate fod-
der. The corn was sown as in the case
before recorded of Simon Bradford's crop,
about The middle Of summer aud cut the
first of October. Mr.. Litton dried it Shor-
oughly before hauling i, up, and made one
mistake, in stacking it out instead of put.
ting i. under shelter. As it cannot be
packed very closely, it is easily injured by
The rains. A hay load is calculated Mt one
ton, and from that it is very clear the land
yielded over six tons 10 the acre. We
know Of no crop that will give more for
age. The caIIle are remarkably fond of
it. and Mr.. LIS out stock have no other
food and keep in good condition. From
the experiments we have given, we feel
entirely safe in recommending sown corn
as an excellent plan of procuring supplies
of cattle food in winter.-Cultivator.

agriculture is an Art.-Man is The ar
list, The soil his laboratory; manure his
raw material; animal strength and machin-
cry his power; air, heat and moisture, his
ogeuls; aud grain, roots, fruits and forage,
his product.
agriculture is Science.-Which teaches
The artist The best mode Of fitting up and
improving his laboratory; inslructs him in
the proprieties and economical use of his
raw material; learns him how best 10 APP
ply his power. and TO profit by his agents;
and it thereby enables him greatly to-
abridse his labor and multiply his products.
The art teaches the hands TO do: the
science achat to do, and ho,O TO do. Art is
the sail which propels The ship; science the
compass which directs her course. With
out the sail, the ship would not "go ahead"
without The compass, her course will be

will be "onward," her course direct, and

A MEETING OF PLANTERs.--We learn
from the Southern Star, that meeting OF
the planters of Copiah county, was holden |
at Gallatin, on the 18th inst, Ter the pur> |
pose of taking into consideration the i'm.
portance of calling a general convention
of the planters OF re State, 10 devise the
accessory NEAR. ! of projecting themselves
against the s@iadl,ng usages and customs
OF the Commission Merchants of N. Or.
Ie''ans; and especially against that most
ubiquitous of all systems, the "IIsI sys>
ten"
I Resolutions were adopted, suggesting a
General convention Of the planters OK the
State at the City of Jackson, on the first
Monday in October next aud recon-
mending that they refuse to ln'rrst Their
cotton to houses accused Of over charges
or selling under the odIous and unjust "Iis'
system"
Additional resolutions were offered by
Col Kiper, and unanimously adopted by
the meeting, lamenling the untimoly death
of the late Samuel Wright, who first eX-
posed the yiIlainous practices Of the Ne"
Orleans sharpers, and died martyr &c
his advocacy of commercial honesty; anc
also, comphmenting the interchangeable
Editor of the Vicksburg Sentinel, for hi:
manly and fearless eXpositlons in relation
to the list system and other euormliIes by
means of which the New Orleans Mer
chants and Factors have, for years, robbed
the planters of Mississippi, Of nearly tw'
hundred thousand dollars annually,
A convention of this kind would doubt
less be productive Of much benefit to TIT
agricultural interest of the State. Gu
planters have been made acquainted wit
the frauds, by which they have bee
9lundered, and they should lose no time i
degising means TO avoid all liability to b
; injured in future by those frauds. W
hope that every county in the State WI
be represented in the convention.

rI.TOn our fist page WI! be found an
able article in relation to the State Bonds,
from a correspondent Of the Lafayette
Republican, who styles himself Carroll.
We have seen several articles from Gar
roll'' on the same subject they are all
we'll written aud evince thorough knowl-
edge of the subject. We ask OF our rea-
deys an attentive perusal of hls article, we
this week copy from the Republican.
There is also, on our first page, an ar
.icle from the Ylcksburg Sentinel, on the
bond question, which explains in clear
and satisfactory manner, the loss sustain
ed on the Union Bank by the com
missioncrs agreeing to pay four shIllngs
and six pence sterling to toe dollar.
This loss has been denied by some o
the bOnd-payers; but an examination o
the subject will show that the statement 0
tho Governor, in relation to the loss thus
sustained, is correct. We hope that those
who have doubts upon the subject vii
examine for themselves.

INCREASE OF THE DEBT OF n. YORK. -

This appropriation is said to augment the
