PATRONS OF ANDIEY.

The Southern Cuhiratof, by the
way, one of the most practical, ''com
nonsense agricultural journals in
the whole country, having said that
" If farmers would practice strict econ
omy, work within their means and
keep out of debt, there wonld be no
need of such organizations" as Pa
irons of Husbandry, a correspondent
writing from Paulding, Mississippi,
makes the following sensible and
timely remarks in reply thereto &
am not PATRON work within my
own means, ana am ont of debt still
I feel and see the need Of some popu-
lar agricultural organization that will
attract the masses into rank and file,
that they may be in position to re-
ceive instruction and follow the exam
pie of those who practice economy and
keep ont of debt. 1t is lamentable
fact that a large majority Of our
farmers mortgage for supplies, plant
all cotton to pay their debts, and
usually th1y fell behind at the end of
the year. They are 5isgEsted with
farming. They offer tier lands for
sale at lover prices with a view to quit
the business. ispt Mqst Of their
neighbors being In the saaae pfe9iea-
ment and same state of mind, there is
none TO hay their land hence, they
must mortgage ahot hrf year; and then
quit the business if they can sell their
fenceless and dilapidated farms. Now,
sir, we need an organization that will
exert an influence over the masses, to
improve and beautify their homes. and
to depend O. the rich products of their
farms for money ana s"Yspniies. and not
on credit based on mortgages
And in addition to tie many other
benefits offered by the Patrons of
Husbandrv, with Subordinate and
State and AaIio..G.' Oranges, could not
the Southern States, THROUGH iilig Or
ganization, adopt some plan to regulate
the supply and production of cotton
to the probable demand, at better
prices? If 100000 bales viii ,,ring
as mpc,, money as 100000 bales, why
not make an effort TO trrn the labor of
making l,0o0, 900 bales into the efroat
OF making supplies? All feel the i'm
portance of keeping at hons tf.a pr9-
ceeds of the cotton crop. Why not
seiae upon this organization for the
esi... It is spreading like
prairie fire-we have Owe. &c Oranges
in this State, and as the fever spreads
would it net be the part of wisdom for
the best aea os aeritPHlTEral persna-
sions to control and direct 1t, lest ie
may do harm ?"

The following article clipped from
some newspaper, has been sent to us
for publication. Its sentiments are so
just and withal SO appropriate that we
publish it with pleasure, regretting
only our inability to give the credit
due to the paper that first recalled
such noble utterances
MAGNASIMITY--A LESSON OF HISTORY
1t is n sad reflection that, with all
our Wanted civilization and boosted
advancement in humanity, arts, and
science, there is yet much III the teach
ings Of the remote past to shame and
to rebu he us. We recall, Just noW, an
incident fall Of profitable suggestions
for the present times :
In the second century an insllrrec-
tion against the Roman authority broke
out in Syria and the East, headed b.
a pretended descendant of the patriot
CAsSIUS, who had cOnspired against
the mighty CESAR. 1t ended in dis
aster and failure; and nothing seemed
to be left but vengeance upon the ad-
herents of the rebellion Under such
circumstances, here is the letter which
the royal conqucror-the noble An
TONINUs PIUs-WrOte to the Senate,
and which deserves to be written III

in-law, and his wife. Let them live in
safety, them retain all that CAssIUs
possessed, let them live in whatso-
ever place they choose, TO BE A MONU-
MEST TO YOUR CLEMENCY AND MINE!'
Oh for nehour Just such puJlic
sentiment now It is reproach, in
deed, and a sad and melancholy eyi-
dence of uiOru7 deterioration, that an
opposite tendency so largely prevails.
Surely, surely, there is everything in
the present attitude Of the Southern

PICKLE FRIENDSHIP.

The Lynchburg Republican, after
having taken part with Brownlow
against Gen. D. III. Hill, finds the dose
more nauseous than it anticipated, and
has been compelled to give it up, and
we are not surprised at it.
The Republican now goes back on
the old parson and calls him a
'slathering old epithet-manufacturer,
and thereupon the Petersburg appeal,
moralizing upon the fckleness and
uncertainty of human friendship, ex-
claims, in the poets words:
'Alas, how slight a cause may move

THE NEW YORK TIMES.

There is evidently money in the
newspaper business in Gotham, and
the Times has it's full share of it. At
least it would seem so, from the fact
that it has paid out $4,000 for new
outfit, including engines and Walters
Press. The Times now appears in
new and exceptionally handsome type,
that for clearness, taste and elegance,
is rarely equalled.
We can truly say that in its new
dress the Times is almost as handsome
in appearance as it is offensive in its
politics, and that about exhausts the

FIRST THURSDAY IN AUGUST.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND

MENTS.
We trust the people will bear in
mind the Importance of the election SO
soon to take place.
u Independent of the election for
county officers, the fact that the peo-
pie will also be called upon to declare
whether or not they desire to have the
Constitution altered in many very inn
portant particulars, makes the coming
first Thursday in August day that
ought not to be forgotten.
The Amendments now before the poo
pie and that require only the express
sion of popular appreciation at the
polls to become part and parcel of the
Constitution, are eight in number and
have already been agreed to by two
different Legislatures.
Each Amendment is to be voted on
separately, so that there is nothing to
hinder the freest expression of opin-
ion on the part of every voter in re-
gard thereto. Indeed, every thing that
was possible, has been done, to give
each voter an opportunity to express
his preference for the Constitution as
it stands or as changed by any or all of
the proposed Amendments.
There are those, doubtless, in the
State who desire no change to be
made, especially those who have an
interest in the so-called special tax
bonds of the State. These men desire
nothing so much as that every one of
the proposed amendments shall be
voted down, in the hope that the Fed
eral Courts will come in, and by
forcing the Legislature to levy tax or
by some other process, compel the
State to pay the interest on these
fraudulent bonds.
Other men too, for other reasons,
will oppose the adoption of the amend
ments; some will do so secretly and
some will do so openly.
It behooves every man, therefore,
who has the good of the State at heart
and who has his own welfare at heart,
to go to the polls on election day and
vote for the amendments.
The changes they will effect in our
laws promise to be too beneficial to us
for us to permit them to be lost by
apathy or Indifference.
We how have one last opportunity
to throw off the great burden that is
crushing us to the earth. Let us re-
solve to take advantage of it.

John G. Whittier, New Eng

this remarkable admission con
corning the corruption of the Ad-
ministration, in a recent letter
concerning SHmner's opposition
to the present Administration.
He felt the atmosphere about
him thick and foul with eorrup-
ton and bribery, and greed; he
saw the Treasury ringed about
like Saturn with INSCRIPTIONS;
and IS it to be regretted more
than wondered at, if he struck
out wildly in his indignation, and
that his blow fell sometimes upon
the wrong object.
