STORY WITH A MoRAL.-When Gen.
Jackson was moving on to strike McClell-
ans flank on the Chickahominy, he came
to stream which had no bridge, and could
not be crossed without one. The general
had brought with him from the Valley a
rough, uneducated man full of energy, who
had served him in emergencies, and in
whom he had the utmost confidence. He
called this man and told him that stream
must be bridged Immediately; the regular
engineers were also advised of the fact.
In Short time the rough carpenter and the
polished men of science were atthe stream ;
the former had his plan, the latter theirs
lie wished to go at the work at once with
out drawings, but they objected until they
could perfect plans on paper. The engi-
neers retired to their tent to perfect paper
bridge; the carpenter took his men and
went to work at once to make real one.
In a very short time he appeared at the
general'stent, and reported, briefly, thus {:
"General, that bridge is done, but them
pictures amt come yet" This story las
a moral that all our readers can discover.

AFFECTION OF CHILD AND A CAT
The affection of the domestic cat, (barring
the prcclivity and capacity for rat and
mouse catching) is probably the predom-
mating characteristic of the nature of
that animal. But, in the great majority
of instances, pussy is general lover,
jumping from lap to lap, purring her love
to one and then another, and nesting and
stroking herself upon each one of the
family alike.
A friend has given us some particulars
of the undivided affection existing between
little girl about six years of age, residing
in the District, and q cat, which are full
of singular simplicity and innocent inter.
est. The child and cat Keep each others
company, day and night, eating and sleep
ing together. The cat rarely leaves the
child, and then, it seems, only in search
of food, which, when it has obtained, it
brings and places by the side of its friend,
as though inviting her to partake of it

European Immigration.

General Wagener's able address is re-
published in full in DeBow's Revieap for
June, and the editors introduce it with the
following complimentary remarks:
South Carolina is foremost in encourag-
ing foreign immigration, and the State is
fortunate in having such citizen as Gen
eral Jno. A. Wagener to interpret between
her and the hardy German element she
seeks to introduce within her borders. He
enters upon the duties of his Office as Com
missioner of immigration for the State,
with a full knowledge of the difficulties to
be overcome, the obstacles to be surmount-
ed, and the opposition he will have to en-
counter; but, his ready intelligence has
promptly devised the means which, with
practical energy, he has already applied
and directed to insure success. The meas
ures adopted, embrace thorough ventilla-
tion of the subject at home, by public
meetings and discussions, and by the form
alton of societies in each District, to push
forward by such means as the landowners
can alone employ, this great movement.
Abroad, bis agents are already active in
distributing;a pamphlet, in which be has
ably set forth the inducements and en-
,couragements which are offered to the set
tier at the South, and particularly in Soutk
Carolina, and these agents will9promptly
advise what further steps will be necessa-
ry to accomplish the ends in view.
General Wagner has no easy task be-
fore him. Aside from the opposition he
will encounter in his efforts to direct the
tide of immigration from its accustomed
channels, at the very outset of his duties,
he will meet with a perplexing difficulty
at home, calculated to defeat the wisest
measures of relief, unless speedily over
come. We allude to the tenacity with
which the large landowner clings to his
useless, idle, surplus acres Millions OF
acres of rich farm lands lie fallow in the
South, which might be given a,0ay to ad.

The REvoLUTToN.-Th New York
Journal of Commerce predicts that either
there will be reaction in this country or
an advance of revolution, for we have not
yet reached an abiding place where the
country can rest. ItYholds that the men
who are responsible for the hazardous ex-
pertinent now making must finish their
work, or they will be hurled ignominious-
" from power and crushed in the undoing
of that which they have attempted. They
understand this, and here lies the danger.
The Journal says it is really difficult to
determine the strength of the hold which
the revolution has upon the popular mind,
and it remains to be seen how much fur
ther the country will go with them with
out fear of reaction. 1t is plain that the
right which they claim to do whatever
they determine shall be done without re-
straint or limit, cannot be permanent, and
can only be adopted as means to an end,
and when thatis reached, whoshall guard
the actors themselves from the spirit they
have invoked? In the outwoking of this
principle, adds our contemporary, is the
grand hope Of those who look for an ear
" restoration of the supremacy of the
Constitution, for when those who
have substituted their own will for
the fundamental law are brought to
face the exercise Of this authority by an
other hand, and compelled to bow their
Decks to the tyrant they have enthroned,
their eyes will be opened to the error
they have committed, and they will be
the first to clamor for present freedom
and future safety in restoration of the
checks they despised in the wantonness
of their power. In the meantime, while
there may, and doubtless will be, cases of
individual suffering and oppression, the
Journal does not look for what many ap-
prehend, series of wrongs and crueltics
towards those whose legal rights are thus
held in abeyance. If the reaction antici-
pated does not come, the organic change
in our system still to bemade will leave
US no vestige of the institutions once
deemed SO essential to the very existence
of the Republic.

Young; j: Men ON the Farm.

The Southern Planter collects some
statistics showing that there are about
nine million acres of improved and eleven
million, acresof unimproveds lands in the
State of Virginia; and that. there are q
little more than oney hundred Thousand q
male slaborers--Nthat is between the age
| oftwelve and sixty years. Hence, mere
is only one laborer to about elghiy.eigh1
acres of improved and arabic land IN the
Estate. The deficiency of labor, as CON-
pared with the eynecds ofsthe, agrlcultur'st,
IS enormous! Where, says the "Planter,0"
shall we find the remedy ?
ut is plainly. the duty Of our young
men to meet their pressing exigency.
They constitute the only remaining re-
source for the immediate supply of any
considerable amount of labor. Let them
strip themselves for the conflict; let them
"roll up their sleeves" and tgird up their
loins,o:: for the noble work of resuscitating
Virginia from her present paralyzed and
PROSTATE condition; let them labor with
the same selfdenial and indomitable
courage and perseverance with which
they went forth to meet her assailants in
the stern conflicts of the battlefield, and
the.work will soon be accomplished. The
openings for. the employment of our young
men in their accustomed occupations are
all filed to repletion, and there yet re-
mains a large number without employ
mert. To continue in idleness-demor-
Airing and enervating idleness-is thing
to be abhorred by every ingenious, high
minded, honorable young man, and to eat
the bread of dependence ought to be more
CALLING to his pride than the performance
of comparatively menial duties, ii such
were necessarily to be encountered, in
pursuing the very laudable object of OBJ.
tanning for himself an honest livelihood
and in, promoting with patriotic ardor
and disinterestness the honor and pros
perrity of.the State. But no such humilia-
tion awaits our young men. They will
rather contribute honor and dignity to
their calling, and bring to their aid an
array of educated intelligence which will
greatly accelerate the march of improve
ment. They will soon acquire.a degree
of practical skill, which: aided by their
superior knowledge, will guide them in
the introduction and management OF such
mechanical helps as their own enlightened
experience may suggest, or the inventive
genius of the country may supply, and
thus contribute to tighten the burden ct
human toll, remit the mind from the
drudgery of debasing labor, and elevate
it into the more ennobling spheres of ac-
tivity, where accretion of strength is
gained by. the exercise of its powers, and
where it successfully conserves the pro-
gress of society in civilization, wealth and
social happiness.

Farm Work for August.

). The lateness of the Spring has thrown
Framework much behind where it usually
is at this season of the year. From the
succession of late springs, we are led to
infer that our seasons are rapidly under
going a change. Our Oldest inhabitants
can easily remomber when corn was
planted in February. Various hypothe-
ses have been offered for this change, as
for example that all the woodland has
been cat down, or that the Gulf Stream is
removing farther east, or that some
changes are taking place in the Arctic
Ocean, &c, but with this we are not at
present concerned.
: Cotton has not yet all been laid by, and
when the ploughs are put into it, they
should be very carefully handled 80 as
not to- break the branches or stir the
ground too much about the roots. Grass
should still be kept down, though the cot
ton has in most places outgrown it. In
Greece and Southern Italy, it is the GUS
tom of farmers to top the cotton SO as to
stop its growth, and bringit to bearing
sooner, so that a full crop might befhad
before the early frost. We have never
seen this tried here, but would be glad if
some would experiment on it. AS the
bolls ripen, have the cotton picked as
soon asa hand can pick 40 or so lbs. q
day, as this quality of cotton brings the
highest price in the market.
This is the month for fodder pulling.
All who can save hay should do it in pre-
ference, as fodder pulling is the most use-
less part of farm-work for if the corn is
left TO ripen with the blades untouched,
it will weigh as many pounds as the corn
and fodder together, if the latter be gath
cred. Farmers should, therefore, give
particular attention to raising grasses,
and let fodder CO. Where the corn is
small, cut up the corn at the root and
dry for long forage.
Sweet Potatoes, such as have not been
laid by, ought to receive one last deep
working Keep grass down until the
vines cover the ground.
Ground-peas ought to be earthed up
and laid by. Covering the blossoms as
they appear, increases their productive
ness. AS you now have little leisure
time, pay attention to getting your barns
and gin-houses ready for the approaching
harvest. Haul up and house wood for
winter. Work on your compost heaps
for grain land. Break up for wheat, &c.
In fact great variety of work presents
itself-Fdrm and Garden.

"A young lawer was examining bank

There were about two thousand pounds un-
accounted for, when the attorney put on
severe, scrutinizing face and exclaimed,
with much selfcomplacency.
"Now, sir, tyou to tell this court and
jury how you used those two thousand
pounds"
The bankrupt put on serio-comic face
winked at the audience, and exclaimed:
'"The lawyers got that !"
The judge and audience were convu1sed
with laughter, and the counsellor was glad
to let the bankrupt go.

CAUTIoNtTo ADVERTISERS. s.-If you have
anything to sell, be very careful how you
advertise, unless you have at the same
time large supply, for you are very apt
to be eimposed upon by the public's eager
ness, and be overwhelmed. We are in
duced to give this warning, by what one
of our contemporaries says about his unfor-
tunate condition last week. He had not
quite filled out his column, and wanted q
line to finish it. After thinking what he
would put in, it struck him that few
blackberries at home would be agreeable,
so he filed UP with, "Blackberries wanted
at this ofice.'' Imprudent and unfortu-
nate man! Darkies and blackberries
swarmed him next day, and he had to move
his Office.
Another example. A gentleman the
other day came in and informed us that he
had lost a saddle and bride the night be-
fore, and asked US what he should do. We
said advertise, of course. He wrote out a
notice, offered a reward, paid down his
money, and by the time he got back to his
house his saddle was there The adver-
tisement hadn't even been published.
Again A friend ventured short time
ago to inform the public through our col
umns, that he wanted wool, and what's the
consequence People have been trying
ever since to pull wool over his eyes.
In Massachusetts the other day, a man
advertised for a wife; he had to get the
express wagon to deliver letters for him
at his door; he picked out an inviting Dull
cinea from among the herd of spinsters,
and put another notice in the paper refus-
ing all other applications for the present,
but would take what he had into conside-
ration.
Again, and finally. An army officer the
other day lost his dog, and after calculat-
ing the expense of advertising for a long
time, he sguessed" he would advertise. He
offered s1O0 reward. A gentleman sent
in information of the locality of the pro-
perty; officer went and got the dog, didn't
remember the reward offered, but has gone
off West to get his reward, we hope, when
the red man gets hold of him by the hair.
He paid the printer, however, and that
may save his scalp.
Mind how you advertise. Orangeburg
