DEL1SouENTs.--Abont FIVE weeks
ago we sent out forty bills to per-
sons indebted to us for subscription.
These bills were all for small sums,
but they amounted, in all, to the
neat little sum of SS3 20. Quite a
number of those who received those
"little Bills have net responded as
yet, but we hope to heal from them
soon, or we will be compelled 10 dis
figure our subscription book by
scratching off their names. While
still possessing considerable vitality
the FARMER is entirely too small to
carry any dead weight.

Rain is badly needed throughout
this entire section. Sugar cane is
at a stand-still, and it is impos sible
to do any planting for fall gardens,
the ground being too dry and hard.
Cotton is opening prematurely,
which will doubtless canse the crop
to fall short. Sweet potato vines
are willing in the sun. and will not
develop "tubers" unless we have
rain very soon. Oats that were re-
Gently sown are not yet coming up,
and it is very doubtful whether
the seed terminates without at least
a SMALL amount of moisture. Alto
gether, the outlook is decidedly un-
favorable.

The new crop of cotton is COM
mencing to roll in. As usual, it will
eventually find its way y the
Northern mills, where it will be
manufactured into cloth. and return
in that shape to its native heath,
ready to be purchased at greatly
enhanced prices by those who
raised it. 1t has been estimated
that the annual profits which the
Northern manufacturers realize on
this great staple product of the
South, amounts to $500, 100000.
At least one-half of tnis vast sum,
or $3.50, 900, 900, could be saved to
the cotton planters of the South, if
they would spin their cotton into
yarn. We hope the time is not far
distant when they will do SO. The
machinery for this purpose is SIM
pie and inexpensive, and the in
creased price which they wculd re-
ceive for their product would great
" add to the prosperity of them
selves and the South generally.

THE PRINTERS DOLLARS.
Where are they?

Where are they?
A dollar here and dollar there;
scattered over the country miles
and E.iles apart. how shall they be
gathered together?
The paper man, the landlord, the
grocer, the merchant, and the as
sistants to him in carrying on his
business have their demands, hardly
ever SO small as a single dollar.
The mites from here and there
must be diligently gathered and pa
tiently boarded, or the wherewith
to discharge the liabilities will never
become sufficiently bulky.
We imagine the printer will have
to get up an address to bis widely
scattered dollars something like the
following:
Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes
and all manper Of fractions into
which you are divided, collect
yourselves to come home. You are
wanted. Combinations of all sorts
of men that help to make the printer

Uncle Harry, of the SUGAR Planter

Uncle Harry. of the Sugar Planter,
says he'll take US by surprise, and
that some day we'll entertain "an
angel in disguise" In the words
of the poet, we will simply say:
"Don't come in the morning,
That will be too soon;
Don't come to see us
In the afternoon;
Don't come in the evening,
And don't como at night,
But come at any other time
And then you will be right"
In other words, try to drop in on
US about skinner time" and we will
see that there is plenty of inside
matter to fill up the form.

As this textile is now expressing
the attention of every man who has
tue interest of this State at heart,
The following remarks, obtained
from Capt. Chas. A. Brusle, may
not be uninteresting:
This is the species principally
grown near Bengal, while the other,
Corchorus Olitorius, is very largely
grown i'll the dist let near Calcutta.
We are Informed by good author
ity that there is no difference in the
quality of the fbres produced by
These two species, but in commerce
marked differences are noticed in
the production of different plants,
attributable to climate, soil, time Of
cutting and methods of preparation
of the fibre.

spite of IA protracted drouth in the
spring, lasting nearly six weeks
The Jute planted on the 29th of
March was cut down on the 29th of
July, before Towering. A sample
OF the fibre was sent to New Or
leaus, and it was pronounced supe-
rior to any India Jnte, and worth
from six to eight cents pound. It
was cut down. only allowed to wilt
in the field, and stepped eight days
in pond, when the fibre came off
the stalk without any trouble. free
from bark, which had been entirely
dissolved in that time.

August. in bloom; on the 1lth it
was stepped, and on the 10Th, eight
days afterwRrd. it was taken out OF
the pond in fine condition. The
fibre was of a finer quality and
stronger than the first. Major
Harris, who saw this fibre, also
pronounced it superior to the first.
and worth, he thought, about If
teen cents pound.
Remember that this lutte was
planted ih drills, four feet apart:
yet one-quaIter of an acre produced
over BIG pounds of clean fibre,
making 1854 pounds to the acre.
Had it been sown broadcast, it's
yield would have been not less than

Coy. Wilt has issued call for a
meeting of all the assessors and tax
collectors throughout the State, to
assemble in New Orleans on the
10Th of October next, for the pur-
pose of considering the defects in
our laws regulating the assessment
and collection of taxes. This is a
move in the right direction, and we
hope the meeting will result in de-
vising some plan for a more efficient
and equable system of assessment.
We believe the Recommendation of
the Governor, in his message to the
last Legislature. for a Board of
State Assessors" was q good one,
and would doubtless have given
more general satisfaction than the
system OF personal assessment, UNI
der which the poor man is taxed
for all he is worth. while his
more fortunate neighbor gets off
with very small tax. in proportion
to his possessions, in all of which
there is great wrong and injustice.

The ice famine has REACHED Gov
ington. and our citizens have been
compelled to do without that luxury
ter few days; but the cool water
of our springs and wells has partly
compensated for the loss. For our
part, we experience very little i'll,
convenience, as we never put ic e in
our lemonade, the water being natu-
rally cold enough for the purpose.
We are informed, however, that the
absence of ice has been greatly de-
plored by those who are in the
habit Of imbibing a little 'lager,"
or some other so-called "stimulant."
But we have no sympathy for that
class Of people; and if the scarcity
of ice should result in destroying
their appetites for "ths cup that
cheers" and also inebriates, and
show them the error Of their ways
and bring them back to the path of
rectitude. where they may quaff the
pure, cool waters of the crystal
springs, and be satisfied, then the
present ice famine, instead of being
a public calamity, will prove irdesd
a blessing in disguise. Bull!
