GoocuLANp, Jan. %, 1853.
A so,ourn OF some months in this county has ena.
bled me to examine many OF the Splendid estates ~
inc on James River aud the mods Of cultivation pur
sued by the owners Of these estates. Along the
shores of the river, from one end OF the county 10
the other you will find rich and beautifully cultivated
farms, which produce, in luxuranoe and abundance,
wheat corn oats tobacco clover, hay, $50. ana you
will find, too, that the proprietors are gentleman OF
high intelligence and enterprise fully alive TO all the
improvements suggested BY experience and scien'i'
tic observation. II soems to be principle WIN these
gentlemen that the coil shall be made to yield to It's
fertil,zng agents. and by working it in the most judi
cous manner. Lime, plaster, bono dust, guano, and
clover, are freely and literally used; while Efforts are
made to produce the largest Quantities OF the ordinary
domestic manures. II 10 really pleasant sight TO
visit these farms and behold on oil hands the
evidences of superior management barns and
corn houses grooming under the heavy weight
which they contain straw stacks OF ponder
Gus sizs, thrown up like mountains; LANDS made
as rich skilful culture can make tnem;-
sheep, hogs, horses, &c. rolling in fat, and negroes
happy and cuntented under the reasonable tasks a.
signed TO them and the abundance of food and CLOTH
ing with which they are .upplied But II We 20 slew
miles from tue River, III what il called the "oark
woods the scene changes, and the presents
on all sides nothing but broom straw, hengrass, and
old field pines, Over this region, the genius ot desc
lation SCENE to reign with uudsputed sway. But We
are no, to judge the character OF the inhabitants. by
the gloomy appearance of the csuntry on ihsc onrd'
ry we shall ind them to be hardy indus'r'ou1 VIZ
tuous race who live by the labor OF their own hands
and who seem to be contented with the humble lot
which fate has assigned to them.
Some wears ago, there was q fourishing Division
o. the Son, of Temperance in this county; Keen
and vigorous war was waged against old KING alec.
ho. whose destruction seemed almost inevitable. IL
was rare thing to see a man indulging in drink
either in private or public, and the popular feeling
seemed 10 run strongly favor Of law to suppress
altogether the traffic In ardent spirits But "changt
has come DER the .prit Of our dream The tempe
rance societies have been annlhlsted-msny OF
those who were Jealous and enthusiastic members,
now indulge rather freely in the bottle, and ON the
whole the disciples Of Bacchus have largely increas
ed aud are daily increasing in number.
All men concur in awarding praise to the admins
trstion of Mr. Buchanan, for the wise and mastery
course pursued by it on all grave and momen;ous
questions, both Of foreign and domestic policy. "

Messrs, Editors-The object Of this communication
10 to thank the writer of an article, with the above
caption. which appeared IN your Issue OF the ION
Inst. lie deserves 10 have his name written IN letters

laws 10 the selection Of jurymen in criminal Cases.
The evils consequent upon the defects incident to our
present criminal jury syslen are such "a TO challenges
the attention Of all good citizens OF this Common
weqih-Hnd they set forth in 80 forcible manner
in the communication of your correspondent, as TO
need no further argument TO convince any Intelligent
mind that reform i, necessary. Nor should this amend
nent to the law be any longer delayed. The evil
should be remedied at once. Too often, alas. has
The guilty culprit gone "unwhipped OF Justice, be-
o,rse the uries who have tried The case we're not o.

IL is all idle TO frame laws which are wise in them

who are unfit to execute them. Our Jury system, IN

Do not We all know, that our criminal laws are all
dead letter, as now administered IN this Common

unless be couples robbery with ii Does any man be-.
Iieve that Dr.. Webster, who committed murder 10
Massachusetts. could have been convicted here under

answer s that our rorst citizens selected To st

time TO come, unless remedy is provided. Our
laws should be SO framed aud administered US to be
terror to all .vdoers. They should bs 30 admins

candid man ak himself the question, whether such
is the Gaze now No; the blood Of our citizens,
which s sacrificed with impunay, almost dsy, TO the
unrestra;ned passions of bad men, calls aloud for
remedy. And the voice Of humanity calls aloud for
the removal OF this stigma upon our criminal lurs'
prudence. We, therefore, look with confidence to
our Legislature, now in session, to take this question
into serious confederation. JUSTICE.
