Frvm The Southern Planter.
COntcutmcHt Us. RestlesSmeSs,

There is an old saying, viz: That there
is luck in leisure. 1t there is, really think
a neighbor of mine will get a full benefit
this season. Mr.. b. II. who is a planter
and farmer, has not yet burned his plant
beds; nor has he ploughcd furrow for
corn. He says that it is time enough, that
he will burn plant bed the first of next
month. His employment is, to feed ten
head of hogs, one horse and one COW,
every day, which he lays, keeps him so
busily employed, that he has no time for
any thing else. This man seems, to be
the best cohtcntcd and the happicst man
ever saw. In passing by his house, can
not but Compare his perfect content, with
the restless farmer and planter whose corn
is in the cold earth, and whose tobacco
plants are being consumed by bugs, &c.
The mountains offhis region are white
with snow. The weather has been bad
for seyeraldays, and there is every pros
pect of cold weather. Our fruit is in a
fair way to be lost. The prospect for wheat
has improved very much. Clover and
grass are more common than they were
three years age, and arc quite forward for
the season. There are a few fbut they
arc really few and far between,} good pros
poets for hay. Large quantities of North
ern hay is now being sold in Lynchburg.
is not this reflection on old Virginia l
know, Judging from what make every
year, that as good hay can bc made in
Eastern Virginia, as in any part of the
North.
hope the recent agricultural move in
Richmond, may be of lasting benefit to Vir-
g'nfa. We want aid and encoura cement
from our Legislature; and we want a COM
retent chemls, to analyzc our soil; and 10
give public lectures, which would cause
agricultural societies TO be formed: and
more good would be done in this wav.,bon
IN any other. think Eastern VIRGINIA Will
continue to improve from this forward. In
fenyoars from row, predict that the pro-
dIctwill be double, and perhaps it will he
three times what it now is. The people
of this region seem to be more industrious
and managing than they ever We're. Many
are making clover lots tliis Is a good
commencement. They will get taste.
and hope and think, their appetite will
increase for c1orer and grass. as it has here
fofore done for whiskey. If all the money
thai has been spent in spirits within the past
fifty years had been spent in clover and
plaster, Amherst would now be one ofthe
richest counties in the State.

To tho Public.

The tracts embraced in the above PROCLAMATION
Of the President, comprise all the residue of the
lead mines yet to be brought into market south of
the Wisconsin river. They cover those mines (par-
ticulary the portion situated in Illinois) worked
under former leases from the Government which
had not expired at the date of the sale of the ada
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations without
mourning the increased expenses incidental open
ing new mines, and most of them believed to be
very productive. They are all more or less con-
veniently situated in reference to the navgabc riv-
