MILLRT.-Thc following communication, from
the Germantown Telegraph, is well worth con-
Sideration. In no country in the world is vcge-
table economy carried TO higher degree than
III China, yet there are whole districts where the
natives plant nothing but millct. They, how
ever, manure the land richly with natural vege-
table and animal compost
There are probably but few of the cultivated
grains that possess higher claimS upon the at
tcition of farmers engaged in stock rnising, than
ni.Let. 1t would be extremely difficult, indeed,
to assign satisfactory reason for the general
neglect it has experienced at the hands of our
agficulturaiist, and equally difficult is it for us
tn conceive why, when all our other available re-
sources are taskcd to thcutteTmoSt so little Should
be said in its favor and no more vigorous efforts
put forth to secure its more general introduction
Millet requires for its successful cultivation,
soil repete with the formulating remains OF veg
ctable and animal organisms and SO constituted,
chemically and mechanically, as to secure due
and equally graduated humidity. Extreme wet
or extreme dryncss acts detrinentay upon the
devclopement of this crop, and to perhaps
greater degree than upon any other. Light
sandy soil, in which there is mixtureo OF cayey
matter, and which las heen well manfred under
! ,tuce good INLET The proper time for sowing
the seed is about the time Indian corn receives
the first horing; or, if the season be forward,
| little before that period.
The soil should be carefully prepared by
thorough blowing aud narrowing, and, if very
| light by the application of the roller. 1t should
then receive the seed from common secd-sower,
which burrows, drops the seed, covers and rolls
the soil all at one operation. The rows may be
! graduated as to distance by the character and
condition of the soi;-if very fertile, they may
be fifteen inches apart; if not rich, twenty or
twenty four inches should be allowed between
the rows. Broadcasting is practice, though
not destitute of its peculiar merits, has never
| thelcss gone mostly into di use of late. 1t re-
quire,, a much larger quantity of seed, does not
Insure the same uniformity of appearance and
produce, and acts much less favorabiy upon the
character of the soil.
we find the following relative to Millet in the
same paper:
After many years experience in the culture of
INLET, we have come to the conclusion that the
first week in June, with US, is the best time TO
SOW it for hay or seed. If sown much sooner
the weeds will get the start OF it, as it will not

EDUCATION CoNyENTIoN. :,

Our reQGerS VIII sec lEuiu itte tVLV"A'hS Sts.'
and letter Of Gov. Wise, that an Education Con-
ysntion win meet in Richmond on 2sd July
next. We object to the heat of Richmond at
that date, but 50 grateful are We to sec such
Convention meet in Virginia, thatweshall yolun-
teer 70 attend it then and there if possible.
The public educational system of yirginia is
detective. It wants method, order, arrangement
and System. Our fund for education is large,
but not wen directed. 1t lacks division among
the g1adesof education. One college has nearly
all the appropriation to college education, while
All the rest is distributed to a buugling and un-
Organized system of common schools which arc
Of but little use to the community. In few
counties we have our own system which is DIFF
fsrent, but we speak Of the State system. We
hope this convention will devise better system
and above an look to extending the facilities for
college education and preventing the waste of
the 1000 of common school fund.

fits, Prospects, SC.
MESSRS EDITORS: In consideration of
your solicittude to give expression to the
progress and Improvement to the country,
l take the earliest opportunity of giving you
prospects of the Charlotte and South Caro-
lima Railroad, as they were exhibited at the
last meeting of the stockholders.
The earnings ofthe road for eleven months,
ending 1st December inst, $24S, 40S IS ;
estimate for Dec. 81 ,59I Is, making $780,
600 90 for the year last year the total
earnings was about S2lO,0O0 90; increase
100000. The increase was about the same
last year, and nearly all from freight.
The Board has declared u dividend of
SD per share payable on first of January,
1856, from earnings of the last six months.
The expenses of the road for the present
year is about $l40,00O; the dividend about
$4,000, including interest on bonds the
balance for purchase of engines, cars, bull
dings, and surplus for dcpreciations of pro-
Pcrty. Included in the current expenses is
the relaying twenty miles of new track
The completion of this road, while it will
open up an access to us, will also open up
the means of an approach to the North At
lantic ports, and many products will be car
ricd off, but. as we have stated. to all the
articles of commerce, there is u want here:
to the extent of our ability to consume
them. they will be sent to us, and will only
SO ahead when they are in excess of our ne
cessity.
Tho connection will increase the travel
over the Charlotte Railroad to u oo1s;dera-
bic extent, which together with increasing
freightS, will make the stock pay as well or
better than any road iE the State.
The capital, stock, and bonds of the Com
pany are about 81 100000. The earnings
this year $2SO,OOO, and with increase from
passengers and freight, we may estimate
for next year $33O.OOO, with vcrv little in
crease in expenses; this puts it LeyOnd
doubt, good dividend paving road.
The North Carolina Central Road is one
of the best roads in the United States, and
equipped in the very best style tile very
best engines and first class passenger ears.
They can travel at any rate of speed ncces-
sary, up to 40 miles per hour. The track
is all nearly new, and laid with the heaviest
rail, on heavy cross timbers, &C., &c
This route will connect at Weldon.
