One Of the main causes why more nttcn-

derived from it are not properly under

orally read little or nothing upon agricul-
tural subjects, relying altogether upon
their own lilni,ed experience and reject

so cngrosscd with the business Of making
cotton that but little attention is paid eth
cr to the improvement Of our stock or
soil. This is an cm'or ia our manage

prosperous and successful planter is not

Some few of our planters have expert

say TO the native stock, but is not SO well

TIE BRAVERY OF THE PAL.
METTO REGIMENT.

The Editor Of the North Carohnian,
in speaking Of tho South Carolina Volun-
tccrs, says, %thcy were more cut to pieces
at Churubusco than any other regiment,
but this wss more owing to rashness
than true courage" We presume it was
not tho intention Of the editor to imputc n
want of courage to our brave men, but
he certainly docs them great injustice TO
suppose that they were actuatcl bv a
rash, inconslcratc hcadstrong wrccklcss-
ness, which is Just rs distinct from true
valor, ms impulse is from settled principle.
Our men fought under orders, and if
there had been any unnecessary exposure
their commanding officers would have re-
ccivctl. instead of the unboundcd applause
that now grccts them on all sides, unmca-
surcd ccnsurc for their want Of humani
ty and consideration. The Palmetto re-
gimcnt had hazardous duty to perform
they didit-fcarlessly and at the cost Of
much blood, and let no one who values
his own reputation, say or do any thing to
tarnish the lustrc Of their we'll earned
fame, for the whole American people arc
ready TO protect and defend it.

For the past two weeks we have had
very changeable weather. We have had
some intensely cold days-as cold us is

other times it has been quite mild and

arc trying to delicate constitutions, and
we should be careful not to expose our

BILLS OF MORTALITY.--Has the relative
proportion Of mortality decreased as the practice
Of medicine has become complicated? We think
not-the very reverse Since the ingenuity cl
man has "sought out many devices" to substitute
for the simple preparations of fnature'aown abrato.
ry the art of the physician has been Of less use to
the afflicted Our woods and forests contain all the
remedies necessary to meet successfully any form
Of disease. This is strongly illustrated in the Gin.
seng Panacea which after the skill of the faculty
has been set at defiance, is daily restoring to health
hundreds of cases, who, without 1t, must have
sunk into the grave, victims to Coughs, Colds,
Bronchitis, and other affections of the Lungs.

Low SPIRITS. CAUSED BY THE PRE-

BLOOD.-Health is the state of the body and

accumulation Of morbid humors in the blood, and
other juices, by neglect of vegetable purging.
The cure is very simple: open at once the natural
drains of the body which nature has provided
for the carrying out all of its impurities and health
