OUR AGRICULTURAL EXCHANGES.

We have on our exchange list several valuable
agricultural journals, whose claims upon the farm
ing community we have long been desirous to bring
before our readers They are as follows:
The SOUTHERN CULMvAToR, published month
ly at Athens, Ga, By D. Redmond and James
Camak, at So per year. This old established jour
nal is perhaps, better adapted to the wants Of the
cotton States than any other as it devotes so much
attention to their principal crops and soils, and
their system of labor, manures, &C. Although
the editor under whose management the Cuhiuator
achieved its present high position is dead its last
number gives evidence that it has fallen into the
hands of successors who will keep it fully up to its
old standard of excellence. The only objection
which we have against the Ctslirator, is the infe-
rior manner in which it is gotten up. Its typo
graphical appearance and style Of binding will not
at all compare with its contemporaries in agricutu-
raj journalism.
The SOUTHERN PLANTER, published monthly at
Richmond, Va, by G.. B. Williams, at So per
year. This valuable journal, like the preceding is
an old established monthly, dating back to ls4O.-
1t is chiefly valuable to cultvators of grain grass
and tobacco though it contains much useful infor-
nation on the raising and care of live stock, and
the cultivation of orchards, gardens &c. The
September number contains sixty-fve large octave
pages of reading matter.
The FARMER, published monthly at Richmond,
Va, by Elliott T. Shields, at So per year. This is
new enterprise, started last year, and devoted tc
agriculture, Horticulture, the Mechanic Arts
and Household Economy 1t is conducted with
ability The last number is illustrated with seve
raj engrayings.
The AMERICAN FARMER, published monthly al
Baltimore, Nd, by Worthington & Lewis, at s.
per year. This journal was established in 1919
and claims to have probably larger country cir
culation than any publication Of the kind, South
of New York. So extensive circulation, after ar
existence of nearly fifty years, proves that the a
nercae Farn,er is well suited to the wants Of it
subscribers
The MARYLAND FARMER, published monthly al
Baltimore, Nd, by S. Sands Mills & Co., at sl.5C
per annum This magazine, though last mention
ed of the monthies, is by no means last in our es
timation. 1t is one of the most valuable Of then
all, and we cannot understand how so large and
handsome publication can be furnished at so low
a price. This journal devotes more space to the
cotton plant and its enemies, than the generality
of agricultural journals, besides giving great dea
of information applicable to other branches Of farm
ing.
The COUNTRY GENTLEMAN, published weekly
at Albany, N Y, by Luther Tucker & Son, at So
per annum. This is an old and very popular week,
ly, whose columns originate much of the agricul'
tura matter that appears in the country press both
with and withoutcredit. Itsedtorial and othercor-

wALHALLA CORRESPONDENCE.

! -...; WALHALLA, .. ", sept I, 1861.
We hail this week from the extreme northwest
ern corner of South Carolina locality where one
hears . foreign language hatbitqa1 an ele-
waited, stony, broken region, where the air is as
pure and as free from malaria as are the most favor
ed spots Of Germany, Scotland, Spain or Switzer-
land. B.. ''.' ''''''s, - 'I''' s<s.'
Il is one of South Carolina health resorts when
the miasma and mosquitoes Of Summer render
the lower lands untenable Everything is favora-
bic to health-pure water mountain air, abundant
and wholesome food, and any number of novelties
for sight-seers, who have never been here before.
When we state that the soil iisstony and broken,
we do not desire to be understood as Implying that
it is not available for Agricultural purposes 1t
requires little extra care In its preparation
ferilzing (of which the material is most handy
and abundant and, in some cases, subsoil blowing.
With these attentions thesol responds to the til
lers toll with uxuriant crops. To illustrate: Our
host, Of the Walhalla Hotel supplies his house
abundantly with vegetables Of every variety, from
a garden adjacent to: his premises. One section Of
that garden, not over quarter Of an acre, We es-
innate, has this year yielded hundred bushels Of
Irish potatoes; and has now = fine crop of autum-
nal beans as second crop This, you will observe,
is four h,.adred bushels to the acre Corn planted
i'm July now over twelve feet high and well cared
The crops Of this whole section-corn especially,
but all grains and little cotton are finer than
they have been in many years and as for ourself,
we have never seen finer crops grown anywhere.

RAIN AND THE CROPS.

Our farmers still complain Of too much rain and
too much politics. The former is doing great in
jury to the cotton The latter is deranging and
demoralzing the labor Of the country to that ex-i
tent, that grave fears are felt as to the possibility
of gathering the present crop, or cultivating an
ether. 49, ~. - ~

NOT NEARLY A DIFFICULTY.

One T. J. Robertson (Radical) was very indig
nant because he was spoken of in rather STRONG
terms in an editorial published in the Newbery
Herald He wrote to the Editor Nj. 7. F. Gren,
eker, and demanded "a full and complete retrac
ton Of the libel" MI. Grekener said in reply: .
''I cannot comply with your demand for "a full
and complete retraction' of what you choose te
call ''Gbel," in the next issue Of your (my)
paper" .:....-,I ..r ..s a...al ..-. "a
Whereupon Robertson rejoined as follows: ~

POLITICAL MEETING OF THE PREEDNEH.

N POLITICAL METWG OF THE PRREDKEH. !
There was large gathering Of the freedmen at
Gethsemane,. new Baptist Church, four miles
to the North of town, last week. We ehave under,
stood thatmanyvi violentand dindammatory harangues
were made by eolored orators urging their race to
t'stck together and have nothing to do with the
poor white folks Such seems the prevailing sent-
ment among them, and we may expect the nomi:
nation and election Of black delegation to the ap
preaching Convention from this District
I'VE are constrained to say that the efforts to
Cancellation made by some of our most respectable
citizens have thus far produced but little good ef
feet The negroes seem determined to rule and
ruin. We deplore the result; but it seems We
cannot help it Like the little pig roasting on the
spit we hope ''things will soon take q turn Haaf

Deputy-Shenff Gill returned last week from Mis-
sissippi, whittier he went about six weeks since
with requisition from Gov. Orr, for Bolton Cline,
one Of the murderers Of the late Alexander D.
Walker, of this District This freedman, it will be
remembered, escaped from our jail last summer,
and was recently arrested in Mississippi, and lodg
ed in the Marion county jail MI, Gill found hin
there but did not bring him, as was expected, fol

lies, but certainly it seems strange that the State d
South Carolina should be too poor to bring to JUS
tice an atrocious criminal. -, IL H;-,

Trouble in the Menageries.

An exchange saws: 'tThe zebra and two Ia
pirs belonging to John Robinson circus and me-
nagerie were poisoned, near Lynchburg, (va:) q
few days since. 1t was quite evident that the an
imals had been poisoned by some malicious person,
and that the deadly agent used was that most @ sub
pirs are said to be the only two Of their species on
this continent. They were procured only after
great perseverance and cost Mr. Robinson the
heavy sum of $15, 900. The zebra was very yalq-
able also, but its loss can be more easily repaired.
The loss Of the tapirs is regarded as lrepar
able. D.. az, e., f-,-,- ,. .. ,.,E ..a-r. .s.f,
Mr.. Thad. Stevens menagerie, at Washington,
has also. been maliciously damaged. A fellow
named Conover recently chunked his interesting
and playful 'tBeas.," known as the "bottle imp,
besides pouring vtriol on the eountenance OF his
celebrated impeaching hyena. These two animals IA
are too tough to be killed by anything short OF
stroke of lightning but they have been so serious
y injured that is very doubtful whether they can
ever be exhibited in public again. In addition to
these misfortunes, Mr.. Stevens has had to sustain
the loss of his two zebras, Phillip and Daniel, which
were on exhibition in the provinces, where their
fantastic tricks had attracted much attention from
the public This last loss is not so irreparabe as
the former, as there are plenty Of zebras left in his
collection, ready and anxious to take the places Of
his lost pets But he has no Beasts" at all equal
to his 'bottle-imp," and his Washington show will
consequently open under very upfavorable circum.
stances, AT last accounts, Mr.. Stevens was e1-
tremely unwell, his misfortunes having entirely
disarranged his bilious system: Nothing but q co.
pious administration of ''odor d Afnque" can ever
restore him to his Yonted serenity. ..a, .fs .:gr
A Conservative Negro on Radicals. .a. .:.r;a,.-
james P. Fickling, colored candidate for
Congress in Georgia, prefers to trust his chances
for election to the Southern white men and conser-
yative colored men, rather than the Radicals His
address to the people of his district shows that he
takes clear view of things, and sees through the
hypocrisy of his Radical friends The following
brief extract describes their object and the means
bywhich they hope to gain it, as clearly and con-
cisely as we have ever seen it described: ,,i,..al
'sThey know that we are in the alphabet Of let,

general ignorance and universal creduity and BY

SPECIAL NOTICES.
AMERICAN
WATCHES,

The true value ofMachinery applied to Watch
making is not that by its use Watches are made
| rapidly. but that they are made correctly. Very
few people know why Waltiam Watch should
be superior to any other. In the first place, at
Waltham the Watch is regarded as only a ma
| chine, to be constructed like any other machine
on mechanical principles. II the watches arc
good, it is because the machinery is good. Of
course there must be no defect in the principle
or plan of the movement-no mistake in the sizes
or shapes of the pieces of which it is composed
nothing wanting in their properties, and no error
| in their positions. These points once thorough
ly settled, it rests wholly with the machinery
constructed with infinite diversity of form and
! function expressly for the purpose, to produce
the finished pieces. BY means of multiplying
guages and microscopes, tests and inspection for
the detection of wear in the cutting tools, and
tor faults and flaws in steel or stone are made to
accompany the work in every stage from be
ginning to end. AS necessary result, the watch
goes together perfect machine. Every part is
found to fit properly in its place. Every pin may
be pushed till it pnches, and every screw turned
home. Instead ota sluggish and feeble action,
the balance, even under the pressure of the
llghtest handspring, yibrates with wide and free
motion, and the beat has the clear ringing sound
| always characteristic of the Watham Watch -
The machine is q timekeeper from the start.
This system of matchmaking is unknown in
foreign countries and is entirely original with
the Watham Company. The company claims
that by it they produce watches that cannot be
equalied for every quality which makes watch
valuable Simple in plan and correct in princi-
pie, the movement is not only beautifully finish
ed, substantial, accurate and cheap, but is uni
form in the minutest DETAIL not easily damaged,
and when repaired always as good as new. There
different grades of finish in the terrent va
reties of watches made by the Waltham Com
pany, there are different sizes and shapes to
suit all tastes and means but every Watch that
bears the genuine trade mark OF C WALTHAM'' is
guaranteed to be good one, and nobody need
be afraid TO buy if.
