without choice. Negro Suffrage
was established by act of Congress,
and the military officers were COM
manded to superintend the process
of clothing the negro race with the
political privilege to govern white
men. The Blacks in the South are
entitled to be well and humanely
governed, and to have the protection
of just laws for all their rights to

If it were practicable at this time to
give them government exclusively
their own, under which they might
manage their own affairs in their own
way, it would become a grave oues-
tion whether we ought to do SO, or
whether common humanity would not
require us to save them from them
selves. But under the eircumstan-
ces this is only speculative point.
1t is not proposed merely that they
shall govern themselves, but that
they shall rule the white race, and
make and administer State laws, elect
Presidents and members Of Congress,

tent, the future destiny of the whole

DoN'T CULTIVATE LAND WITHOUT Ma
NURE.-There appears to be good deal
Of sound sense in the following statement
from the Southern Cuztiuator:
" 1t costs you on average soils, ten dol
lars or more, to make an acre of corn
with hired labor, and fifteen OF more to
make and gather an acre of cotton. If
you do not look closely after your hands,
it will cost. you o good deal more than
that, Now, every acre cultivated, that
will not yield crops worth at least the
above amounts, will not only be no profit
but run you in debt Large crops still
are required. TO obtain a profit on hired
labor, Lands, then, which Will not yield
such crops, we must let them rest, or ma
nure them sufficiently, or we lose money.
At least half of our poorest soil hitherto
devoted to corn and cotton, should be
thrown out to rest, and the balance en-
riched. How long will it take us to ex-
haust what little capital we have left, if
for every acre on7which we can make
net profit of ten, dollars, we continue to
cultivate five, which lack from three to
ten dollars each of meeting the actual
cost of cultivation. There are few lands
which will not yield a profit, if CONNER
cial manures are judiciously applied.

WlT:-Wit was originally a general
name for allthe intellectual powers, mean
ing the fatality which kens, perccives,
knows, understands; it was gradually mar
rowcd in its signiication to express mere
lv the resemblance between ideas; and
lastly to htte that resemblance whensit
occasioned ludicrous surprise 1t marries
ideas lying far apart with sitdden jerk
of the understanding. Humor originally
meaht moisture, q Specification it meta
phoricalIy retains; for it is the very juice
of the mind oozing from the brain; and
enriching and fertilizing wherever it falls
Wit exists by antipathy, humor by sym
pathy.
Wit laughs at things Humor laughs
with them: Wit lashes external appear
anccs, or cunningly exaggerates single
tobles into character; humor glides into
the heart of itseobject, looks lovingly on
the inhrmitics of its defects, and repre-
scnts the whole man.
Wit is abrupt, darting, scornful, and
tosses it's analogies i'll your face; humor is
slow and shy, illsinuatlng its fun into your
heart. Wit is negative, analytical, de-
tractive; humor is creative. The couplets
of Pope are witty but Sancho Panza is
humorous creation. Wit; wien earnest,
has the cdrIesthess of passion seeking to
destroys humor has the earnestness of af-
lection, and would lift UP what is secnl-
ipgly low into our charity and love. Wit,
bright, rapid, and vanishes in an instant;
humor, warm and all-embracing as the
sunshine, bathes its objects in genial and
abiding light.
Wit implies hatred or contempt of folly
and crime, produces its effect by brisk
shocks of surprise, uses the whip of scor-
pions and the branding iron, stabs, stings,
pinehes, tortures, goads, teases, corrodes,
undermines; humor implies sure concep-
tion of the beautiful, the majestic, and the
true, By whose light it surveys and shapes
their opposites. 1t is a humane influence
sottening with mirth the rugged inequali-
ties OF existence, promoting tolerant views
of life, bringing over the spaces which
separate the lofty from the lowly; the
great from the humble. Old DIR: Fuller's
semark, that the negro is. "she image Of
God cut in ebony,' is humorous; Horace
Smiths, that ssthe task-master is the i'm
AGE of the devil cut in ivory,n is witty.

/ OUR FARMERS There is no class OF
men to which we are more indebted for
the fruits of their industry and the various
comforts of life, than the honest hard wor-
king farmers. To themis confded trust
which cannot be computed in dollars and
cents alone, nor oyer-estimated in any
true summary of, real merit To them be-
longs the task of tillmg the soil, Of fsowing
the seeds and reaping the bountiful har-
vests. Tis their privilege, also, to gather
the first and choicest fruits of our land,
and it is from their over abundant supply
that we have to look for our limited por-
tions. 1t is from the overflow Of their
garners, that we receive our bread-stutf,
and it is only from what they have TO
spare that our whole living is derived.
E Ask who it is that feeds the thousands
crowded together in our great cities; who
supplies the bountiful board of the rich
and afluent who serve their friends. Is it
not from the great granary OF the farmer
that the bulk of the luxuries come? 1t
may be safely answered, yes. Yet while
the farmer. occupies an honored and impor-
tant station, and is blessed with the good
things of the earth, there are still lessons
tor him to;adopt, which may yet add to his
prosperity. Utility in farming is as JIM
portantto success as it is in any other
branch Of business; the great difference
being in the judgement ofmen to discrimi-
nate when this reform or that economy is
really needed. Farming it is true is not
withoutits defects, but in most cases may
be attributed to an oversight in its man
agement. - -

A RECEIPT OF HApPlNEss.-It is, SIM
pie. When you rise in the morning, form
tho resolution to make the day happy
one to fellow-creature. 1t is easily
done. A left off garment to the man
who needs it; a kind word to the sorrow
full; an encouraging expression to the
starving-trifes in themselves as light as
air-will do it, at least for twenty-four
hours; and, if you are young, depend
upon it, it will tell when you are old I;
rest assured it will send you down the
stream of time to eternity. Look at the
result: You send one person-only one
happily through the day; that is three
hundred and sixty-fve in the course Of
the year-and supposing you live forty
years only, after you commence this
course, you have made fourteen thousand
six hundred beings happy, at all events
for time. Now, worthy reader, is this
not simple? We do not often indulge in
moral dose, but this is SO small pill
that one needs n0 red currant jelly to
disguise it's favor, and it requires to be
taken but once a day, that we feel war
ranted in prescribing it. 1t is most ex-
eellent for digestion, and a producer OF
pleasant slumberss

TIE OLD SysrEM.-A writer in the Sci

TIE OLD SYSTEM. writer in the Sell
ma Times has some remarks in regard to
the past, present and future, of our farming
and planting interests, which strike us as
being more sensible than a good many
things we meet with in the papers these
times. We have only room for a short
extract:
We fear that too many ofour people are
still hugging the delusion of keeping up
the old plantation system, now that the
morale of the laboring populationhas been
lost 1t may have been very pleasant to
the eye to look over y domain of a thous-
ands acres all under the control and cul-
tivation of single mind, but the day for
that style of things has passed and per-
haps the same domain broken up into ten
or twenty farms, each withits cottage and
barn, tenanted by an honest and laborious
but more intelligent peasantry may seem
quite compensatory for the old system in
the eyes of future generations,
For our part we are tired of long lanes
enclosing uncultivated fields. AS we ride
through the country we are more and
more impressed with the sparseness and
.thriftlessness of our population. The coun-
try is rapidly returning to a.waste. Miles
without a snug house or a sign of settled
active industry. The hireling system is
carrying all to destruction, and even the
negro will soon abandon the desert he has
created.

TENAc1TY OF L1FE.-A remarkable in
stance Of the preservation of life without
sustenance for a. a.lengthened period has late
ly occurred at Ponihau, near Grossenhayn,
in Saxony. On the 9th. Of December last
two brothers, named Mushter, were en-
gagged in digging deep well, when the
earth fell in and completely buried them.
A third brother went down Immediately,
but was not able to perceive the slightest
sounds. Some miners were then set to
work, and dug for some days, but without
success and it was SO generally believed
that the poor fellows could not possibly be
alive, that orders had been given that, urf-
less the relatives insisted on proceeding
further, the well should be filed up and q
monument to the memory of the Musch-
ters erected over it. Eight days had al
ready elapsed since the accident, but the
mother Of the entombed would not give up
all hope, aud some fresh hands began to
work again, though only in the expecta-
tion of finding the corpses. To their as
tonishment, however, they suddenly heard
from below the words, "Do not strike so
hard" A conversation commenced, the
work was pushed forward with renewed
diligence, and at length crowned with sue
cess.
On the 10th of December, after they
had been eleven days and four hours in this
living grave, the two Muschters were fes-
cued and brought to the surface. The
earth that fallen in had left a kind Of cave
above them. Their only sustenance dur
ing this long period had been the water
that had oozed through the earth, and a
little tobacco which they had chewed.-
They had watch with them, which they
had wound up regularly, aud were, there
fore, able to keep an account of the time
of their burial. AT first they lighted luci-
fer matches to see the time, but when
these were all used they telt the hands,
They had heard the conversation above
