The SOUTHERN RAILRoAp.-The New York Tri-
bune says: "The chronic complaint of the City of
Cincinnati ha, been hat it had no close connec-
ton with the Southern system of Railroads. Until
lately full one-haf its trade was with the South,
yet it was dependent for communication solely
upon the river, and upon one or two imperfect
Railroad routes which lel through its rival, Louis
vile. Scores of efforts have been made TO raise
money for building direct road from Cincinnati
to Knoxville but they have always fallen through
At last the Ohio Legislature has come to the res
cue, and granted Cincinnati authority TO raise, by
loan OF otherwise ten millions of dollars for this
purpose. This is equivalent to securing the con-
struction of the road. 1t will open some of the
most desirable and some of the most remote parts
of Kentucky and East Tennessee; will connect the
whole Southern system of Railroads with the Wes-
tern. and will prove one of the most important of
recent Railroad enterprises"

For the anderson Intelliaencer.
To Young Farmers,

propose, ut present, 10 notice the second in-
ference, viz: That education is thought by some
not to be essential to farmer.
There js no one who will reflect for one moment
but who will conclude that education is just az es-
sential TO the farmer to the lawyer, the physi.
clan, or man of any other profession.
Anciently, agriculture was in q low state. We
all agree that the cause was that, at that time,
there was very little knowledge of that occupa-
ton. 1t is true it was the chief occupation, but
it was engaged in principally from necessity, and
therefore those who engaged in it did not study to
make their lands more productive.
At present, the knowledge Of agriculture is
much greater: and lands produce far more than
they did ancienly. Even ten years ago knowl-
edge of agriculture was not as great as it is now.
Especially do We SEE great difference at the
South in the system of farming at that time and
now. Our farmers till much less now than they
did then. and prepare it better. A great many
have found the folly Of tilling old land without
enriching it.
Farming is becoming q science. Formerly it
vas not but we are glad to see that ii is becoming
SO. lie who has the best knowledge of agricul-
ture almost invariably makes more OFF Of his
lands. An excellent farmer is becoming as worthy
of note, and acquires US great a fome as disiih-
gdished lawyer, and far greater than wealthy
merchant.
a farmer should be we'll acquainted with chem
isry-shoud know how to analyzc his lands, and
what lands are best adapted to the seeds lie wish
es 10 plant III also should know what kind of
manure his lands require. A knowledge of chem
istry is just as essential TO the farmer as to the
physician or the druggist
farmer is not always compelled to engage in
agriculture alone. Often he is called to discharge
the duty Of some civil officer. He should, there
fore, be we'll acquainted with the English lah-
guage, and his mind should be trained by the
study of mathematics and the classics: There is
great benefit in having the mind trancd-more
than many would think.
Young farmers, / would not desire you to be
negligent about attaining an education. highly
recommend it. l very much approve the plan of
having agricultural schools in our State; hope we
may be so fortunate as to get them in our midst.
Our young men should be taught how TO farm
more successfully. If q love of agriculture can
only be nstilled into them, in few years We will
see our old fields producing good crops, and our
'dll country" as many call it, will begin to wear
quite different aspect.
But to those who are now engaged in agricul-
ture, and who desire to obtain better knowledge
of it, would say-you have the means. Study
chemistry-read agricultural works, and take
some agricultural journal, and read the expert
ence of our best farmers. BY SO doing you will
acquire knowledge of agriculture that will dou-
bly, pay you for the time devoted to its acquisition
and the money expended.
