A Restorative System of Farming.

My first counsel would be. prac.
tice restorative instead of an ex-
haustive system Of agriculture A
system that involves abandonment
oflands and removal to now scenes
is unworthy of the age and a re-
proach to modern civilization.
No man is worthy 20 be farmer
who docs not annually leave his land
in better filth and strength than he
found it. The intellect must share
more largely with muscle the toll of
agriculture; machinery directed by
skilled labor, and propelled by brute
force, and also by tho mighty power
of steam, must take the place Of
expensive md inefficient human
strength. This change, as | said in
this State year ago, 'involves the
necessity for smaller farms, better
culture, liberal use of manure, rota-
ton in crops, and larger working
capital in proportion to permanent
investment" You are already spend
ing millions annually on the old lands
of the Atlantic States for CONNER
cal fertilizers. While | would COM
mend a judicious expenditure in this
direction; | would make this basis
Of o ptactical rotation with q course
Of grasses aud other restorative
agencies Of scientific agriculture
The business Of agriculture should
be an industry and not a speculation.
The insane pursuits ofspecialties has
long been u curse to American agri.
culture. A whole community runs
wild upon hops, when selling at fifty
cents per pound, and in two years
they are scarcely worth the price OF
picking, and extravaganza, begotten
Of high expectations, is forthwith
followed by bankruptcy. Wheal
brings So 90 per bushel and whole
States become wheat-felds, while
every other interest languiahes, un-
Til the bread crop becomes so abun-
dant as to DO fed to swine in prefer
ence to shipment for human food
The sheep with wool at 81 per pound
holds high place in popular esteem
but is kicked from the pasture by
every Randolph Of the farm at the
first indication of q heavy decline il
the value Of it's fleece
In your section cotton, great
boon to your agriculture as a copsti'
tuent in your aggregate Of produc.
ton may become an unmittigated
evil if left to usurb tho place Of all
other crops The crop Of last year
produced 100000 600; more than
fifty per cent. larger than ten year;
ago. Three millions of bales may
command a profit of $40 per bale
while five millions may not bring {
dollar above their cost. But present
profit is not the main consideration
The increase in value and enlarge
ment Of the productive capacity o
the soil, by judicious rotation, in
Guiding the restorative influences o.
green-cropping and cattle feeding, j.
an increase Of capital, source o.
larger annual income, and an addi.
ton to the Inheritance Of ones chill.

session last spring. when Otis counsel,
Hon. Amassa Cobb, asked for further time
to search the records, and the District At
torney understood Mr.. Cobb to propose,
as cause for continuance of both suits
until the next term of couIt, that whatever
was found due the county from Otis at
that time, should be sectfred to the county
by three equal notes falling due respect
lively in one, two, and three years, and
that he (Cobb) would sign the notes. The
District Attorney assented to the contin-
uance of the. suits ON this stipulation, and
so informed the board OF supervisors, and
asked them that the stipulation be made
in writing. The board, however, thought
it unnecessary, and instructed the Dis
trict Attorney to enter noll6 prosequi as
to the criminal suit. This was done but

settlement with the County Treas
urer.

The Committee appointed by the Board
of Supervisors to investigate the books
and accounts of the County Treasurer
are busily engaged at the work, and have
been for some time. No settlement has
been made with the treasurer fer. twelve
years, and the Committee are now at
work upon the year 1860, they having ten
niore years to investigate.
IF the proper authorities of county do
not see fit, or thihg it necessary; to settle
with public financial officer oftenet than
once in twelve years, it would be well for
the officer himself to demand settlement;
for it could scarcely be expected that an
officer, especially the chief financial officer
of populous and wealthy county could
retain all his accounts, books, and vouches,
intact, and in an Ineligible col.ditien for
so many years, unless he were accustomed
to the most technical forms of book-keep-
ing. If the books prove to have been well
kept, the committee will experience but
little difficulty in dischsrging their duties ;
but if otherwise, they viii have long
and tedious journey through the Accounts
of the last decade:
Their report will doubtless be a large
one, and will be hooked for With oensidera-
BILE interest. 1t is doubtful whether they
