 A very superficial acquaintance with the South will readily discover to Il close observer, that the prevalence of some strange dispositions almost uni vel sal among planters, and none more so than stubborn opposition the cultivation of any thing with winch they have not leen accustomed. nrn dent caution in going into the cultivation of articles of culiare entirely new to them, would exhibu ihe presence of much good pense, and be highly praise worthy. Bui lhis s not the feeling by which they appear generally acuated. They exhibit a reuc- tance to leaving the old track, and almost an abllnr- renee to trying any thing new 10 them in planting
 with them ihe first proposition it IS "hands off '" In no one disposition exhibited does the difference between the North and South appear more striking ly marked
 Along with this, in the South, we find an equal aversIon a rigid economy, and il may be deemed | n desperate effort to attempt urging the southern | planters into any pursuit Il cnupled, in even re- mote degree with that thing called economy; in other words, taking Judcious care of the products of labor and making yield all the value il can be made to yield. "Siraws shew which way lhe wind blows" better thaa anahors. Drop any northern farmer down at the door of southern 0rn-cribb, | and sign-post would not more emphdiically tell him that he in the South, thaa the waste he sees arond him of shucks. A southern planter will tell yon iA u moment that they ''the best of rut
 iage," and while he is telling you, will suffer them | to br destroyed, and afterwards, with hls four cenE pound cotton money, go to buying "nOrthern hay. northern farmer takes special of his chalf, his bran, and his siOris and makes each count well in feeding his horses and catte and not straw is wasted. Now if you have any curiosity any anx- lety 10 find the real cause of the difference in production, weigh this difference in economical with honest canduur, and let your investigation tend throughout the year and to every article that waste can be exeried on and you will find that until the effect of it is fully apprecaied and the solid ad- vanIages of well tuned economy fully known and rigdy praciised. that the southern planter as gards production, will remain on the back ground. Waste is the moth that like the grave says "enough."
 But to to the point and present daily 10 be seen-hundreds of planters will annually suffer of one of the best grasses that springs from inc earth to go to loss, and perhaps purchase northern hay for his animals, when the grass that he suffered to be lost, produces actually better hay. plant CT in our State known during the last winter to buy in Mobile about twenty bales of northern hay, and it is notorious, that the corn ground which he | cultivated and his oats field, would have given hundred bales of the best crabgrass hay. Southern economy truly! But there would be something iri- l fling in saving grass in he cornfeld aHd baing it | for market even ifthe bale ofhay should bring
 than the bale of cotton. The idea of telling | chant in Mobile that you have got parcel of crab | | is full of it. would appear rediculous. These are
 southern ideas, and their existence secures to the | northern farmer market for his hay-and doubt
 but shall stretch the organs of sight with as-
 tonishnent and ridcue, when l propose to our
 planters the great advantage that could be made to
 arise from saving pumpkin seed for the production

 In Northampton, Virginia, an enterprising manu facturer produced, with the aid ola common linseed oiiuiil, six gallons O pure oil, from nine bushels of seed.

About the same period it will be discovered that the responsibility of tlie pur- suit of agriculture does not depend on the artcle produced by honest labor for a ma, ket, but on the honest, high minded and useful life of those who follow it. Bubbles that have amused the world for some time, as regards theidisny ol human pursuits are breaking fast, and any who w.ll observe but slightly the course of public feeling and senti- ment will soon discover that every pursuit connect- ed with public and privaIe worth and usefulness cha lenges the esteem and considuration of the wise and the good part of the world Already have we reached that porlod when need be ashamed of an honest and useful pursuit.
