have hitherto been entirely neglected. Rock

Drinking cups of superior thinnoss, and beau.

lenses require, however, to DO cut at right an

Our LaJt. System.

Tho Laurcnsyille Ucraid, in an article under
the above caption points out two grave mistakes
committed by farmers. Tho first is in giving a
portion of the crop rather than wages BY this
course the employee becomes more difficult of con.
troll, clams tho right of regulating his own time
and confines his labor to the growing crops. The
preparation and labor necessary TO keep planla-
ton in farming condition is ignored by him as
foreign to his contract lie demands pay for all
work not specially ttircctc,l to the making Of The
crop. suffering the fences to rot down, the ,tcles
to I'll UP and the manure to wash away This is
the experience Of all persons who rent TO hccrors
The second error We give in the language Of the
editor md commend it to the considerations of all
good citizens II is of the evils under thc sun
and violates the commandment, '.Thou shalt love
thy ncighbor rs thyself"
~ Is o"o "c'S"oUr crnpuying tne Iauorers OF

one which every man Of principle should strive to
eradicate. II matters not what may be the nature
Of the contract that a. has made vii h lis cmploycr

anything is said to b., he immediately bceins
some stupid nonsense about employees being Il

very existence upon tho exercise oiresalivc at tho
expense Of absolute rights. Such n course is des
ruciivc OF that control which every man should
exercise on his own plantation. ani rend rs our
Labor system uncertain by dcmoralizng the en-
poyce

Let his becomea custom, and it strengthens The
employer by forcing the employee nrlo the line

A system similar, to this prevails in Europe and
to some extent in tho Eastern and Middle States
OF our own country; and, until we establish ono
of like character. we cannot use tho labor among

Mr.. Nimrod SuUipan,

Mr.. Nimrod Sullipan,
Dear Sir: Fifty years ago was, for twelve
months, baby pupil of yours, near what is
now called Walhala. Almost every incident
of that years history has faded from my
memory, but remember distinctly the kind
face and gentle, patient treatment Of my
teacher.
Last wcok, in Columbia, S. c., I was in.
troduced to a gentleman of your name; this
reminded me of you, and, upon inquiry,
learned that you were still exercising your
honorable profession near tho same place. 1
determined to write to yoii, rot with the hope
of reviving your recollection of mo. but to
thank you for your faithful effort to discharge
the duties ot most important Office.
During that year must have learned to
read English perfectly, for [ cant remember
when was unable to read as well as | now
DO. With that year ended my school iustruc-
ton. My father, (whom perhaps you re
mcmhcr,) General Andrew Miller, removed
when | was about five years old, to one Of the
newly settled counties of Georgia, where
schools and school mastcrs were unknown
With n wandering Irshnan afterwards made
some further progress, and from him us pri
vatc tutor, | learned "a little Latin and less
Greek A residence in Europe ns a student
of medicine, gave me an opportunity to add
to this Irregular and insufficient training n
Knowledge of the French language; aud so
ended what, by courtesy, may be called my
cf"c"tio". The ioundation of it, the tirn
snhstratum of it, was lnid by your care and
patient assduity. The manner of doing it.
| was tho young to rcmcmhcr, hut know
;'at you opened to my mind the avenues to
Knowledge, aud have always felt most crate
tu! for your kindness.
| My gray hairs admonish me that, in all
l'E'iihood, viii not, on this Garth be per
m'tted to thank you in person; 7, therefore.
write this note. in the hope that you will be
pleased to know that one of your many pupils.
while proiiing by your instruction, is Gid
