encouraging faport Of the iins as far f.
surveyed, and Of the feelingsofI the

Piketon, towards the mouth OF
symmes Creek, leaving from 2l to
% miles yet to be surveyed, to
reach The Ohio river, Col Trimble
says it is settled beyond doubt that
grades can be obtained, not ereeeo-
ing 80 feet to the mile, on any part
Of the line east OF Piketon. and q
very favorable line in all respects.
The Colonel has been holding
meetings almost daily along the line,
which hav9 been wela attended, and
lhe people have subscribed their full
quota for the expenses of thesufyey,
and express their willingness to
give the right of way, and subscribe
stock. They have entertained the
Surveying party with great hospitals
lty; refusing in many cases to make
any charge foFtheiF B0dfd and lOdg-
ing.A sTITRA QAgEA
Col. T. writes that the survey will
be finished next week, and that he
will be at home about Saturday next,
to make arrangements for pushing
on the work Of obtaining stock, &c.
Mr.. Huntington, President of the

that Congress viii grant it. In

Plant Food Crops.

In our agricultural exchanges
which we receive from all parts of
the South, we find the strongest
appeals to the planters to plant
plenty of corn, potatoes, and all
crops which may be used for food
for man and beasts. The folly of
sending SO mach money to the
West yearly to buy corn, hay
bran, oats, pork, butter, cabbage.
potatoes, etc, etc, is felt all over
the South, not ouly by cultivators
of the soil, but by consumers gen
orally. The South can never he
prosperous and independent while
Southern farmers buy their food
from Western farmers, and pay
fifteen to twenty per cent. to Ne "
York capitalists, or TO their
agents in New Orleaus, for the use
OF money to pay hands $50 a
month, and to pay for their rations
brought from the North or South.
When did a farmer of common in
dustry, ever breal; and have to be
sold ont, who always raised his
own food! How many thousands
Of cotton and sugar planters have
been under accommodating mortga-
ges By borrowing money, and buy
ing every thing bat their staple
crop. |
What planters ana farmers in
The South have always had the
best credit have paid their store
accounts and all other accounts
most punrtually: have had money
to loan! and have died rich? We
answer, those whose corn cribs
all the year ronud rejoice in an !
abundant supply Of corn, whose
horses and mules were always fat,
whose door.yard barn yards
swarmed with domestic fowls, and
fat hogs who always had an abun-
dance for man aud beasts and to
spare.
Many of those old fogy, matter
of fact, ploddiug, astronomical farm
ers have not made large crops of
sugar or cotton, but they made /
more clear money than those who
made the largest yield to the hand.
Facts and history are against
these hard strains for immense |
crops. The most successful men |
in the South have used commits |
sion merchants, not as bankers,
but merely as agents to sell their
crop for them.
Let planters reflect upon these
matters in pitching their crops for

st. Louis, the Future Great
City Of the World.

book written by L. U. Reavis,
published by St. Louis County
Court, and sent to us with re-
quest to notice. This we
cheerfully do, and hope that
our few following remarks may
tend to teach both Mr.. Reavis
and the County Court leetle
common sense. We all know
that ST. Louis is a big city. we
know that it is growing, and
the probability is that it will
continue to grow for many
years yet. The reasons for
this growth are patent to the
commonest understanding and
consequently Reavis does not
dwell on them, but seems rath-
er to hide them away in his
book. These reasons are be-
cause it Is on the Mississippi,
near the centre ofour country,
with many railroads centering
there and because it has every
facility to engage in the iron
business. The very first SEN
tence of the book is nonsense.
He says great cities perform
the highest functions of hu-
man life" Following this is
page after page Of Sophomore
declaration, a mere string of
words. And not being power
fnl enough himself, in the yer
bal exercise, he musts needs
lug in that great blower, Louis
koSsuth, to assist him. Louis
brings him a power of
wind that we really did not
think was in him. Listen
Speaking of ancient cities he
says, "citics like New York
d"inale to the modest proper
ton Of a child's to-, lin COM
paFison to them.) so that We
are tempted to take the nice
little thing mp Oh the nail OF |
our Thumb" Kossnth must |
have got bis history from the
Arabian Nights. For our part
we doubt il more than one or
two ancielt cities exceeded ia
population present New York. !
Reavis further says that the
inevitable tendency of man
upon the earth, has has been to
make the circuit of the globe by
going westward, within an isa-
thermal belt or Zodiac Of eoual
temperature which encircles the
Earth in the North Temperate
Zone" This sentence contains
.wo falsehoods, for there is no
such belt as he speaks of, nor
$ mans tendency to go West
'ather than in other directions.
Jan any one point out in East
I'm North America or Eastern I
Asia, any Province or State of

The Sickness OF Louisiana.


The Sickness OF Louisiana.
Many of our newspapers in
order to promote emigration to
our State persist in asserting
that it is very healthy. Now,
the fact that miasmatic fevers
prevail III a country gives to
it, the world over, the name of
being unhealthy. Tell an en-
ligrant that Louisiana is salu-
brious, and he will certainly
disbelive you, for he will say
TO himself that these marshes
and this periodical overflow of
SO much country surely makes
it quite the contrary.
Let us tell him the truth, and
freely acknowledge that feyers
are very prevalent here in the
Summer. Acknowledging this
much, we nevertheless think he
could be easily argued ont of
his fears.
What greater triumph has
the medical profession achiev-|
ed than III their power of so
easily curing these fevers Z?
Alexander the Great died of a
very wild attack Of bilious fe-
yer, which ten grains OF quinine
would have cured. Crom welI
died OF chill and fever as did
Charles the Fifth Of Spain. Yet
these men were surrounded by
the very best physicians of.
their times. The physicians
now, who would sufersuch pa
tients to die from such attacks,
would merit, and very likely
receive lynch law. Our peol,Ie
do not indeed-call in q physi-
clan at all, to one-fourth the
cases OF fever. Bowel diseases
are also quite prevalent, and
equally as easily cured by ply !
sicians Of any experience with |
us.
We are subject 20 these two
classes ofcurable diseases, but |
we are remarkably exempt /
many Of the incurable and diff
ficnlt of cure. Scrofu!a, scar
let fever and typhoid fever are
of very rare occurrence indeed. |
And has there ever been a case |
of hydrophobia in Louisiana |
Of man or dog7 Ifso, we have |
never heard of it.
Sickness, pain and death, are |
very we'll equalized among |
the various sections of the |
country. and we have thought |
we could give a pretty good |
reason why 1t is so. Nine
tenths of all the diseases are |
brought on man by his viola
lion of natures laws. We are |
creatures of habit, and those |
habits may be of such a nature |
ls very soon to bring en- sick
ness or only to bring it on after
being persisted in for some |
line. Let us suppose one of
.hese latter kind of habits
'ormed by one in a sickly
country. Every day his habit
