Advice for the Times.

Secession and depression have been the
themes Of farmers all winter; they have
subscribed for the daily papers, and anx-
io,lsly read every paragraph on the condi-
ton of the nation We would qaotc to
them an excellent aimonition, 5000 years
old, "I!e that observeth the winds shall
not sow, and he that regardeth the clouds
shall not reap" He that is constantly
looking ut the course of the political
breezes, and scanning the clouds Of null
LITIGATION, cannot attend to his farming.
Dismiss all political newspapers, or the
nearer to this the better, and then go &C.
tipely to arorA. The news, when there is
any worth listening to, will be sure to
reach your ears-it will come to you;
vou need not 60 for it. If every farmer
attends faithfully to his calling, aud raises
abundant crops. We shall be sure to have
q prosperous country. If prices are like.
" to be low, raise more; thousand
bushels of wheat at 50 cents Will bring
as much as five hundred bushels at l6O
cents, and the owner will live morS cheap
ly. Nothing is more absurd than to say
-a Prices are low; guess won't raise
much this vear.:' H,w will this course
ever make q prosperous farmer, or give
prosperity to the country?
So advises the Country Gentleman in
its April number. Tie advice is good so
taras it urges increased agricultural efforts,
but narrow wherri,s II a;lrises apo!hy as
10 politicul matters 1t is certainly so, il
considered in its application to Southern
farmers. For, with US, the present po-
ltical struggle involves our very existence
as people; and We must watch it with
constant wakefulncss. We must think OF
it daily and hourly, even while buslly ell
gagged in the work of the farm as well As
as in other cmployments mechanical, pro-
f.ssional or official The farmer is, above
all, interested to know continually how
the good cause advances, because it is
cmphatically the cause of his happiness
and his interests.
Yet the Country Gentleman's advice is
perhaps natural enough in Northern
latitude. For what earthly interest have
Il ::ce, .Ae4e i! t: nhinggation of the South
What is it to them whether the Federal
arms fail or succeed in the present nefa-
rious war? If there be any thing in the
matter to arouse them, it is the pleasant
prospect of the South's speedily conquer
iar peace and restoring all the pursuits
of life to their wonted prosperous chan.
ncls. This might serve to stimulate them
to some interest in the pending struggle;
but in other respects, the advice to stop
the papers, wait for news to come of it
self, and hold the piow-handles steadily to
the furrow, is perhaps good enough for
New York ears under the circumstances.
We of the South not only will not follow
il but we can not; for it is now literally
true, that but few families amongst us
have not their thoughts irresistibly drawn
to this struggle BY the fact that some
member thereof father, brother or son.
is gone to do BATTLE in its defence. and
SOON there will not be a Single family cir
Gle whose thoughts and prayers will not
be thus intensified for its success.

Attention, Farmers i!

Though it is right that you should stand
to your plows while yet you can, be not
uumindful of the fact that you may be
soon imperatively called, by every sense
of honor and interest, to buckle on the
armor of your beloved South. Some of
you are gone already to that work. Let
aN sLL, hold themselves in readiness.
We -. III expect to do, as that great
and good southerner End STAKEHOLDER
GEORGE WAsuISoroS. did,
"who left the plow and furrowed soil
Till independence crownd his toll,
And then retired with lanrsl!od brow,
Like RomeS dictator, to the plow."
With or without laurels, yet with hearts
conscious of duty, let this be the pathway
for Ms all.

away with as our nation has grown stron-

and the slaveocrats would have it swallow
