The Ranie.

DR.. Philips, Of tho Southern Far
mer, asks, in the January number :
What has become Of this fibre
producing plaut7 Will tho peo-
pie Of the South let it go over
'board2 If the Northern country
people had it, no paper could be
seen without seeing the ramic in
all sorts Of style. No expense of
advertising would be spared. It
is one Of the plants that should bo
brought into acquisition to help
the South, and il will TO II.
We had q kind friend to scnd
us ten roots. Five Of these we
gave away; only threo Of tho re-
maindcr vogctatod, and from those
three wo have had quito u large
increase. Another friend gave us
five, later, and probably too dry,
but planted on samc land, and not
ono vcgctatcd.
We thcn had ono hundred sent
to us to cultivate on shares. We
selected, we thought, tho richest
spot possible, and We prepared it
nobly, u ditch East and North,
and we thought the land was in
splendid condition, planted with
our own hand, and cultivated
twice, but somehow tho land was
too damp, owing TO the main ditch
being badly dug out, rs it was not
opened at the mouth, which we
saw not until too late, and tho
consequence Vas tho ditch filled
up. We have made moro from
the plants in our garden than from
ono hundred in ''thc richest spot. :"
We have had one years expert

interest remote or near in the sale
Of plants, y"i. ~" coy. e.h" -,--.-:-
does not prove IL success, il there
be not good wear in the fabrics,
and money in il, there is no use
in anything but the thirteen
months cotton crop. ...
AS it increases there is no end
TO il, iflabor and energy wear not
out. The manufacture Of the lint
from the stalk is cheaper and
reader than pure flax or hemp,
as We have seen these worked.
and the cloth-welI, We only ask
for enough for ourself.
The Now Orleans Picayunc
adds: "Thc ramic can await an
other failure Of cotton. 1t will
not fail, and will constantly in
crease, aud as its fibre is stron gc,
and finer than cotton, it will yet
become tho leading and tavoritc
staple. There is as yet, as the
doctor intimatcs there would be,
far moro inquiry about ii from the
North whcrc it will not grow,
than from tho South whore it
will"

DoN'T CULTIVATE ORDINARY

lcct, it costs you, on our average
soils, ten dollars or moro to make
and gather an aero Of cotton. If
you do not look closely after your
hands. it wi i cost YOU IL good deal
more than that. Now, every aero
cultivated, that will not yield
crops worth at least the above
amounts, will not only be no pro-
iii, but run in debt. Larger crops
still are required to obtain Il profit
on hired labor Lands, then, which
will not yield such crops we must
let rest, or manure them sufficient.

half OF our poorest soils hitherto
devoted to corn and cotton, should

which we can make Il net profit Of

AS an act Of Justice, wo copy

Tennessee and Knoxville, md the
Danvillc and Charlotte routes, Of
which last route the Columbia and
Augusta Railroad is now Il part.
It's plain enough, therefore, that
if the Columbia and Augusta
Railroad wcrc permitted to com
hect with the "through train" at
Granitevillo, the Charlotte route
would at once be able to compete,
perhaps successfully, for the very
business for which tho Through
train was established.
"The Columbia and Augusta
Railroad did not dream Of being
able to connect with this through

schedule, broke connection with
tho day train Of tho South Caro-

Carolina Railroad stands in the
way of their proper accommodn-

the whole blame rests with the
Columbia and Augusta Company

-Among the charities for which Boston is
noted, is one ola very unique character. 1t
"a Babies Boarding House." It is attached to
the Home for Little W anderers," ard is pre-
sided over by one of the most motherly of wo-
men, who takes as much interest in the little
beings confided to her care, as if they were
her own flesh and blood. Here a poor widow
who may go out washing or sewing to obtain
a livelihood, can leave her baby during the day,
and be assured it will be well cared for, and
half dozen of the poor mothers, some of
whom have work while others have not, are
furnished with lodgings IN the same building
Some arrangement of this kind, by some of
our charitable ladies of this city, is much need
ed, and would do much good. 1t is one of
those kind in efforts which Boston goes ahead
of us. i-r
There are many Woodworking, respectable
women, who can obtain decent livelihood for
their families, were it not for the baby. They
connot leave that to go out for the day, and
they cannot trust it with the help they have.
So their labor is lost, and they become depend
ent on charity for support.
The overseers of the Poor have frequent APP
plications for relief by mothers whose hands
are tied in this way. Able. careful, tidy and
worthy women confess to the fact that they
cannot stir abroad to fulfil their opportunities
for labor, from this cause.
What blessing it would be, if society Of
ladies would take this matter into considera.
ton, and in some room attached to some Of
our charitable institutions, arrange for the re-
ception, from day to day, under careful mat.
ron, and the care of these little ones for few
hours. 1t would unite many hands, and glad
den many hearts. Will some of the benevo

The RESURRECTION IN CADIz having been
efectually put down, the vigilance of the
Spanish authorities relaxes slightly; and we
begin to get CLEANS of truth in relation to the
causes of the revolt. The government, for its
own purposes, had allowed the impression to
gain ground that it was purely reactionary
movement. By exercising strict control over
the telegraph and pretending that the wires had
been cut, the delusion was kept up until the
insurrection had been got under. Had the
facts been known earlier it is not improbable
that there would have been simultaneous ris-
ings throughout the country. For it is now
plain that the real cause of the new move
ment was the failure of the chiefs of the Pro-
visional government to fulfil its pledges to the
people, and the not ill-founded suspicion that
the country is to be surprised, not merely into
the adoption of monarchical institutions, but
into the choice of sovereign who may be
hostile to its best interests. The action of the
Republican leaders has all along been loyal
and temperate, but the many indications
which they discern that the Administration is
resolved, by every means in its power, to frus-
trate the decision of the Cortes, naturally ex-
cite their anxiety and displeasure. 1t would
hot be strange if new outbreaks should occur.

G.. A. r. Concert.

Nh. EDIToR:-I notice in your issue yester-
DAY morning that you approve the abrupG ter
minatlon OF the concert Thursday evening by
the Misses Ryan and Gates leaving the stage
before finishing the Duet from Stabal Mater
wish to say that did not and do not approve
their conduct. 1 cOnversed with several in re-
lation to it before leaving the hall , and heard
many afterwards express their opinion of Miss
Ryans conduct, las evidently Miss Gates would
not have left the stage but for her,) and there
was but one expression of opinion, to witt dis
satisfaction with, and disapprobation of the
sudden disappearance of these ladies', and for
the very good reason that whilst they might
dislike the slight annoyance caused by the
leaving OF half dozen persons, they had no
right to ignore the twelve or fifteen hundred
persons who remained quietly in their seats,
anxious to hear the closing and best part of the
duett, which they We're destined not to hear

to the majority and not the minority of half a
dozen persons that public performers should
pay difference. +rf EH I'
You omit another defect in Thursday nights
concert, to wit: That it commenced lust one
quarter OF an hour after it shonld have COM
menced, thereby causing some fifteen hundred
persons to wait the hardness of five perform
ers 1t was advertised to commence at 745.
It did not commence until 8. Query-If pub
llc artists can keep large audience waiting
10 minutes, has not any one of that audience a
right to leave Is minutes before the close, es-
pecially if they wish to take the Westbrook
car before it is too late? 80 T.
January /, 1869.
The above communication does not alter
our opinion in the least as to the conduct of
Misses Gates and Ryan If our country cous-
ms, who wanted to catch the last car, had not
insisted upon so much extra music the concert
would have closed in ample time for them to
have done SO, or they might have left during the
intermisson. As regards the half dozen who
left the ball before the close of the duett, we
must beg to differ with our correspondent. The
movement was quite extensive, so much so as
to render hearing the voices very difficult
matter to those in the rear of the hail. A mi
nority even under republican form of gov
eminent can sometimes teach a majority po-
likeness, although they may have failed to do
so in this instance. Ed

REorRocITY.-The government of the Do
minon, it appears, has appointed G. w. Berga
q special commissioner to negotiate new re-
ciprocity treaty with the United States. Some
of our contemporaries are still illiberal enough
to desire the continuance of the present re-
st-ictions on trade with Canada, hoping that
in this way the Dominion may finally be COM
PEELED to seek annexation as relief from the
lamentable condition into which its trade has
fallen in consequence of the repeal of the treaty
A more generous spirit and more compre-
hensive craftsmanship would teach that the
fading out of the arbitrary geographical line
between the United States and British Amer
lea, as a result of intimate commercial rela-
tions, like those established by the German
Zollverein, would be much more likely to end
in annexation than the Chinese wall of a high
tariff Fortunately this great truth is general
ly understood and acknowledged by every
body not personally interested in some way in
the present arrangement, unless it is those af-
ficted with the protection" mania. Success

largely in the event of its success than your
self. Shakespeare had you in mind when he
