Value of American Products.

The Southern journals were recently
Boosting that the average annual value
Of productions peculiar to the South
reached the sum of one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars. Turning to
the reports of the Patent Office at
Washington, We find, says the New
York Sun, by the estimates of the ag
ricultural products of the United States,
in 1855, prepared by the superinten'
dent of the agricultural bureau, that
our Southern contemporaries greatly un'
derrated the value of Southern produc'
lions, while they made not even an
approach to the gross value of the ag'
ricultural products Of the Northern
States. The cotton crop ranks only
fourth in the scale Of value of labor
products. In 1855, the total value OF
the Indian corn crop was estimated at
s36o,ooo,ooO; the wheat crop at s247,'
100000; the hay and fodder crop at
Sl6O, 100000, and the cotton crop at
Sl36,OOO,OOO. "Pasturage" is set down
at a value of $l4O,OOO,OOO. The oat
crop was valued at s6s,ooO,oOo; the
potato crop at S4l,25o,OOO garden
and orchard products at $75,OOO,OO0:
beans and peas at sl9,OOO,ooO; sugar
at $35, $50, OOO;tobacco at $l9, 100000
and rice at $lO,OOO,OOO. The grand
total value Of our vegetable products
is set down at 81 ,355,5S7 500. Under
the head of Domestic Animals and
Products" we have table of statistics
showing their total value to be $780,.
OO5, 900. The value Of horned cattle
is estimated at $42O,OOO,OO0; of horses,
asses and mules, at 5000, 100000 ; OF
sheep at $47,OOO,OOO; of swine at
$l6o,oOO,OOO; Of poultry at 100000,
600; Of slaughtered animals at $780,
100000; Of milk at sl0O,OoO,OOO OF
wool at s2l, 100000, and of beeswax
and honey at $2,4OO,0oO. Adding
the estimated value of animals and
animal products to the estimated value
of our vegetable products, in 1855, the
grand total is s2,2s7 So, 500.

MESsRs EDIroRs: Your enterprise
designed to impart correct notions of true
economy to your numerous readers, is
most rraisewortby. And especially are
we all called upon to practice that grace,
when the majority Of our people are un-
czpectcdly shut up from the use Of their
means, or straitened in their circumstan.
ces, and see fully before them more than
usual calls upon them for the exercise Of
heavenly Charity, which is the crowning
glory Of our christian profession. Yes,
the coming winter will witness more des.
titution in cities, and peradventurc in
country also, than has been witnessed in
our generation.
Go on in your efforts to drop now and
then a hint which shall be of use to many
families, both of the needy and of the in.
dependent-succoring the one, and cna-
bling them to sustain themselves; and af-
fording the latter more means for allevia-
ting the wants of their fellows. May all
who have a hint to offer, do it; and thus
the experience of one, may be the bene.
faction of hundreds, yea Of thousands.
Could l be permitted to offer one con.
sideration, it should be-That the rich
should in this hour of preparation against
coming pinching times, take especial care
to pay off every possible demand against
them, as well as to anticipate many de-
mands soon to become due-and, moreo-
yer and above all, that they give out work,
and make purchases, more than hereto
fore, on purpose to give honorable en-
ployment to the many who are willing to
earn their bread and disdain to become
mendicants. In this way, they can be OF
immense benefit to their friends and fel-
low citizens, at but little cost to them.
selves. While adding something to the
stock of wealth and improvement, they
preserve that pride and self-respect which
are so beneficial to the welfare of commu-
nifty. Again let me say to those who
have been blessed with means-Employ
your talents, whether one or five, in a
manner to glorify God and produce good
will to and among men. ONE.

Propositions.

Those who attended our late lovely and
entertaining County Fair, comprised La
dies in as great numbers as Gentlemen.
1t is the duty of Ladies to take much in
terest in all efforts to advance Agriculture,
(Which feeds US ALL" and for one l am
happy to mark IN increasing attendance
upon those gala days so happily alluded to
by the Orator Of the occasion. There is,
however, point wherein reform might be
wrought, and which l would timidly sub.
nit for the consideration of my fair coun-
trywomen. 1t is, that We should dress
for such occasions more in the Travelling
than in the Farlor costume. Who could
but notice the soiling, dusting, jamming,
and pollutng of the finest and most cost
ly dresses at the Fair, caused by contact
with or vicinity to the earth, rough boards,
animals, products, implements, smokers,
or drinking and lily costumed men and
boys? If we but adorn ourselves with
firm, modest travelling dresses, and thick
shoes suited for outdoors, and save our
better dresses for our own homes or other
indoor occasions, we shall avoid much in
jury to our clothing, much Inconvenience,
and annoyance Of mind. In these days
of "contraction" of banks and of business,
there might also be a reduction of crino.
lines, AFT riding more room for spectators,
and altogether effecting something in the
line Of economy. l am aware that this
hint comes, like many good intentions, ga
day after the Fair" but propose it now
lest l should utterly forget it at the more
proper season. A SPECTATOR.

creditable affair, though not very exten.

All branches were represented-horses,
cattle, and the products Of the farm, in

was we'll taken care Of by the wives and
fair daughters OF the farmers. We are
glad to hear that tho agriculturalists of
that county are properly sensible Of the
benefits arising from these annual occa-
sions for friendly emulation aud inter-
course and wo trust that they will not
rest satisfied until their exhibitions are
generally united in by the farmers Of the
county, and become faithful reflection Of
their success and prosperity.-Gcrman-

The very best mode by which to pre-
serve sweet potatoes through the winter,
is to boz them up tightly IN sand, and keep
them in q moderate warm place, say where
temperature is not below 40. The pota.
toes should be thoroughly packed in with
the sand. Some pack their sweet pota-
toes 10 barrels, With shavings, sawdust,
scrap psper, &C.; and they may keep
awhile; but the only cure way NC kno.
