Suggestions for February.

"Loud how1s the wind along the vale
shpwreck and death are in the gale:
Soon, weary travellers, as they go,
Are wildered in the trackless snow,
90 Ana dread, at every step that seet
And snow my be their winding Sheet"
February, in this latitude, is usually
clustering month. 1t comes with occaslona
warm south winds and then rests awhile ir
order to get breath, then the north winds
suddenly assumes the mastery. The elm
tops sway and yield to its fierce breath; the
condensed ice cracks like pistol reports, and
wakens the drowsers in the chimney corner
# m HEAD WORK.
We trust the suggestions in last months
calcnder-to improve the head as well as te
occupy the hands-have had due considera'
ton, and that this important work will be
continued through the month Of FEBRUARY.
PLANS
The work of Spring and Summer should
BE- arranged now, while there is leisure to
consider it in all its bearings. What fields
shall be devoted to corn, oats, wheat, pota.
tocs9 When the early vegetables, the toma.
toes, radishes, egg-plants and cabbages shall
be planted. What breadth in each of the
principle crops, how much seed per acre
What trees shall be planted, and what loca,
ton shall they occupy How much stock
shall be summered; which oxen or cows
sold or fattened, and how many swine kept
STOCK.
Our stock, this month, will require our
particular attention; they should be well
kept, fed, and as fat as in summer. Young
cattle often loose as much in their growth,
by bad care in winter, as ten times the cost
Of keeping. Hay and straw, of poor quail
fty, used as food for stock, should be sprink-
led with brine, to make it palatable. Care
should be taken to keep pigs in a thri-
wing condition Cattle and horses will need
the card as we'll as timely and liberal feed
ing; mich cows, especially, will find much
benefit from the use of the card. Sheep re-
auire particular care in February. Leave it
optional with them to 60 out or remain under
cover; feed literally with hay, give them &C.
casionally any juicy roots cut finely, or
few beans, or corn or barley. They will then
bring strong lambs.
.zgsg TOOLS. @
II you wish to take time by the forelock,
you should improve the time in repairing
your tools-as hoes, rakes, plows, wagons,
&c. Many other things, should not be for
gotten, such as cleaning and oiling harnesses,
cutting and drawing wood, to last through
summer, drawing materials for fences. A
days work in winter will often save ten in
summer.
When the plans alluded to are made, the
stock all fed and warm, the wood.pile lusty
in its proportions for another year, and the
children, with lessons we'll conned for the
morrow's recitation, are mingling in the social
conversation around the evening fire, what
prince or potcntate but would envy the farmer
his simple and pure delights-his hours of
unalloyed domestic bliss?
February, cold and rough as it is, is not
too long for households such as these.

FORGE OR NO FORCE.


 It is the constant boast of the Republicans that they will whip the Cotton States into obedience. There are several things worthy of notice in this threat In the first place It sounds very much like the bullying which they are in the habit of considering as purely of Southern origin. In the second place the very curious might inquire why it was that these saintly gentlemen desired to force tel- lowship with barbarians, bloodhounds, slave breeders. slave drivers and dealers in their own flesh and blood ? Why 1t was that they were not glad to get rid of such a heathen, poverty-stricken and goddess set of outlaws and scamps, and the same time wash thelr own hands of all connection with the " ac- cursed institution ?" In the third place 1t would not be amisS to conjecture whether hcY. who are so brave in their numbers, andsO fiery in courage, when backed by the national power, intended to go down into the fever swanps of South Carolina and Florida, and perform this little job of whipping halfa-do- zen into obedience themselves, or whether they expect to do all the gassing as usua get fat contracts to supply the army under Old Abe, and let the Democrats and voting cat tie do the fighting? In the fourth and most important place, how is that modest ope
 ration of whipping and hanging the whole South going to turn out? We say the whole South, for as sure as the sun rises and sets in the heavens, the moment that Southern blood flows by the Abolition government the out posts of your enemy will be transferred from the banks of the Pedee to those of the Poto- mae and Ohio. The man who doubts this neither comprehends the Southern people nor the times in which he lives. If there IS to be war, 1t will be one not between the Gene ral Government and State, but one between tic whole North and the whole South. This is certain and it is well for us, when we de- termine to whip somebody, to know before hand exactly who is to be the customer to handle We must calculate when the process does commence, to keep 1t up just as long as there is bread to eat or a man to fell trigger ii the Southern States; for, in spite of your taunts, they are brave and heroic people, and will perish in defense of their homes and their honor When you have killed a few hundred thousand, just take breath little and look around you. You will see plenty more such ready to be hogged. You can do great deal of mischief, but 1t will be a very ugly and two-sided game, and if nothing else will do, foreign aid will be calledin at great sacrifice. rather than submit to you. Upon the whole, we advise our Republican friends to quit talking so much about whipping peo- pie into the traces It has an ugly sound and tends greatly to aggraate and drive our Southern brethern from us Time enough to talk of killing other people when we have got right ourselves and have no other resort.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD. We understand there is report abroad, out of this county, that the contractors on the road have abandoned their contract, that the company has gone under" These state ments are unfounded Ii is true that a panic existed for a few days, growing out of the pressing crisis in our political and monetary affairs, and that few of the sub-contractors withdraw temporarily from the work but with the best understanding with the contractors. large force is still on the road and will con tinue at work.
 The news from abroad is much more cheer ing than we could expect Col V. K. Ste yenson, the President, has written a letter, a copy of which has been sent to Col. w. T. Scott, of this county, and which we have in our possession, dated at London, England, on the Sd of November, in which he says he has purchased 5000 tons of iron, to be delivered III New Orleans, January. The company have besides this, 1000 tons of iron already in the city. The iron purchased will lay down about 66 miles of road The planters of Smith county volunteer to give the right of way, and to grade twenty five miles of road, on their own responsibility, and wait until 1t is finished for their pay. This will make fifty miles of new road. Col Stevenson was to have left London for Paris on the 4th to negotiate a sale of the bonds of the Compa- ny for Si 100000, and which it is believed he will consummate. If, therefore, the Southern Pacific Company is somewhat en- barrassed by the panic, like all other corpora tions, it does not look as if there was any dan- ger of it's going under"

MssIssIPPI.-The Vicksburg Whig, of the llth inst, says: ''Orders were received here yesterday from the Commander-in Chief by the volunteer companies of this city, to hold themselves in readiness to march at a mo- men'ts notice. We learn from Captain Moo dy, of the Sharp-Shooters, that their compa- nies are full, and being already well supplied win ball cartridges; they are now ready for service. The immediate object of the Cover nor's order has not transpired, but it is pre- sumed to look simply to placing the State uponwar footing"
 The Whig says it is authorized by relia- ble gentleman of Vicksburg to make the fol- lowing proposition:
 If the citizens of Vicksburg and the county of Warren will subscribe money enough to build fire-proof powder magazine and arsen- al, the writer of this will contribute five thou sand dollars to purchase powder and lead for the use of the contingent of troops our county will be required to furnish in the event of a war between the North and South, which will. in all probability. occur at an early day.
