Mr.. Moore. hope at an early period to do so. At

Of the country was far greater than that Of the pro-

have been mised, and some really to believe it is So
Whereas the truth is that the history of the world
does not show more prosperous and happy people,
since the Moorish Empire in Spain, than those of
the South, both bond and free, white and black
nor more complete change from the dismal swamps
and cancbrakes of our country to the existing rich
rice and cotton fields and from their former savage
rovers to the present heightened, intelligent, and
well-bred people, enjoying all the comforts and most
of the luxures Of life The results of the intelligent
energy and enterprise of the Southern people have,
however, in the last ten fifteen years, been so
wonderful to have forced different conviction on
the minds of the statesman and observer; and even
our enemies in England and at the North have been
compelled partially at least to confess the truth
And we such statements, among others still
more to the point, that have appeared in the past
few years, the following from the London Times,
that watchful Cerberus of England, than which no
paper has for many years so abused and decred us,
has, like sensible opponent, confessed what it
could net but have witnessed, and published what
it could not suppress. In one of its issues of the
past summer. we find the following:
but politicians and the public, and even the
friends Of the slaves themselves, have now begun to
see matters in a clearer hght-our own colonies are
impoverished but the sum Of slavery is not dimin-
ished As to the United States it is
indeed folly to expect anything in that quarter
Slavery on the North American continent has ex-
tended, is extending, and will extend. As long as
the supplies of cotton are below the demand in all
parts of the world SO long will slave labor be, too"
Again, late the 18th Oct, the Times, in dis
cussng the proposal of the Dutch to abolish slavery
in their East India colonies says:
1t is hard to compete in the markets with slave
grown products. The statistics that will prove this,
viz that it is to the interest of both parties, must
be as original they are comforting and satisfac-
tory. The rum of our own West India interests is
matter of notoriety."

This is always an important crop to the gardener
as well TO the farmer, but especially this year
year OF scarcity, when any article OF provision
and forage, for and beast, should be taken care
of.
This crop, equally valuable for the table and for
the stable, should be sOwed, soon as wet
weather sets H. The best soil is a rich sandy land
Astounding in potash lime, suphuric and phospL oric
acid. New land MANFRED by cow-pennIng rarely
fails to produce fine crop. When planted on land
that has been long in bountifu dressing
with ashes and manurlng with guanO or superphos-
phate of lime, will be found very beneficial In
gardens, where person has to economic with the
SOIL and where crop is to be cultivated altogether
with the hoe, in rows fifteen or eighteen inches
asurder, it is preferable to spread the ashes and
manure broadcast; but in field culture, where the
work is to be done by horsepower, and the rows
consequently two feet or even thirty inches apart
1t answers very well TO manure the drills and work
it in with a subsoil plough. For this purpose
scrapngs from the woods or chip manure from the
woOdpile will be found very useful to mix with the
guano and super-phosphate
In order to be fully supplied with this vegetable
from early Autumn until next May, several varie-
ties should be planted beginning with the late varie
ties. The Rutabaga and its varieties are the most
valuable ones for Winter use
Skirving's Improved and Laing's Improved Ruta-
baga, two excellent varieties both of them with
purple top and yellow flesh; the New French White
is of recent introduction ard differs but very little
except in the color of the flesh. The rows should
be at least two feet asunder and the plants tAnped
to fifteen inches apart in the row.
They arc hardy enough to Withstand any Winter
in this latitude; farther north they are amply pro
tected by running the plough to them, thus cover
ing them up on the approach of severe frost. They
are hardly fit for before November, but from
that time until Spring they the main reliance.
Even the last Winter, disastrous to all COllards,
did not injure them If possible, the seed should be
