GUANO.-.7griculfwai Chemist.

Under our Agricultural head will be found a
very interesting and instructive communication
addressed by Dr. Charles Brown of Albemarle, to
the Editor Of the Charlotte sville Advocate, on
the subject of Guano, in which the Dr. takes oc-
caslon to urge upon the Legislature the impor-
lance of appointing an Agricultural Chemist.
We have no doubt the writer has fully expert
mented with Guano to enable him to speak cor
rcctly of the probable results of its use, and
which he thinks would Justify the expense atten
ding this professorsbip, when by that means
all would receive knowledge of the proper APP
plica,on of it, and not only that but by the sys-
tenn advised, the soil, &c, in every county in
the State, would be tested, and its capacities
made known.

WONAN'S RIGHTS.

We have received letter from a female cor
responder, in Bedford, in reference 10 an edlto
rial in our paper Of the 9Th inst, upon the sub
iect which heads this Article. II is written in a
strain of bitter sadness. and contains many truths
which should bring the blush OF shame 10 the
cheeks Of all husbands who practice the barbara
ties and are guilty OF the vices, which our cores
pendent depicts. Men, such as she describes,
are a scandal 10 the race to which they belong /;
and they are thus brutal and depraved, not be-
cause of the present social position Of females,
but in despite of all the humanizing and eleya-
ting influences which it is at once their true go-
ry and whole mission TO exert. These influence
es are necessarily impaired as the spheres in
which the sexes respectively move are soug ht to
be identified and that too. ust in the proportion
in which this object is successfully attained.
Let woman throw off the modesty which is the
highest ornament of her Sex-le her abandon the
domestic circle-et her mingle in the strifes and
be swayed by the passions which actuate men,
and in our judgment the consequences would
be fatal alike TO her character, her happiness and
her every interest. We commend 10 our cores
pondent, and to our female readers generally, the
following lines upon The rights OF woman, writ
ten by Mrs. N. p. Lassee for the Southern
Press. They are as honorng to her as woman,
as they are creditaDle to her a Poetess:
Womans Right.
ny NJ IS. \. p. u.
1t her right To watch beside
The bed OF sickness and nf pain,
And when the heart almost despars,
To whisper hepes Of health again
Her right, to make the hearth stone glad,
With gent words and cheerful smile
And when Is with care oppress'd
Ills wearicd spirit to begule.
II is her right 10 train her
So they may Senate chambers grace
Thus is she with more honor crown'd,
Than il herself had fd the place.
II is her light 10 be adnir'd
BY cv'ry generous, manly hear
When, with true dignity aud grace,
She actch well a woman, part
She hath dearef right than thu:
To be IN true heart enshrined-
Who, though the world may all Iorsake
Will cherish sill, and still be kind.
And there is yet higher right,
Which, also, Is To woman 81, en-
lis hers, to teach the infant mnd
those truths divine, which came from heaven.
What would she more, than to perform,
On earth, liie's hottest sweetest tasks
When you perfect woman find,
No other rights than these she asks
