It is a small affair to provide good seed at the beginning of the year, but the whole success of the season depends upon it.

The last Farmer't Gazette published a letter from Mr. B. D. Lumsden, of Putnam county, Georgia, in relation to it, which removes our apprehensions. Mr. L. says it has never been cultiva-ted in his region, but it grows wild; and, though it has been there only 6ix years, it covers all the old fields aud lands not in cultivation. Ho says it bears hard pasturage and will seed it-self. Allkind8.of stock feed on it in preference to other grasses. It makes good hay. It is rapidly destroying broomsedge and Bermuda grass and other pests. It comes very early in the spring, aud thereby gets the start of all weeds. It is an annual and dies out each year. It may be easily des-troyed. It grows on any soil. Bears a great abundance'of seed, which if turned under in fall will.cotuo up next spring. It is supposed it would flour-ish in Virginiaquite as well as Georgia. It has been tried with success in North Carolina. The Rev. Mr. Mott, of that State, is an enthusiast about it, and has written several communications iu commenda-tion of it. He thinks so highly of it that he is devoting his time to saving seed to supply, the public demand. A dollars worth will suffice to seed an acre. . His address is: T. S. W. Mott, Sherrell's Ford, Catawba county, N. C. Time for" seeding is February or March. Mr. Mott considers it not only a flue grazer but a great improver of laud.—Richmond Whig. roots, is of great value in promoting the health and vigor of tlie tree. All trees, whether fruit or ornamental, young or old, indigenous or exol ic, are vastly benefited by this process. In hold orchards the soil about the Inn'.' of trees, and toacousiderable distance from them in every direction, should be carefully broken and the upper sur-face, to the depth of three or fonr inches, removed in the spring every four or five years. The eggs of the cureulio and other iusects tire deposited in this stratum and if not removed or destroyed will produce insects the ravages of wh'.c'd the succeeding year will beproduclivi of far greater loss than the <• pense > removing the soil and rep'a ing withcompost or loam.

These things ure in the past. But hundreds of similar schemes, quite as extensive, are now liefore Congress, and the lobby engaged iu pushing them is large and more influential than ever before. Is it any wouder that the West can grow when everything they want in the shap of internal improvements is built by grants of land from the United Stittes! These public lands are the joiut proiierty of all the States and yet not one Southern State can get a foot of land to aid in building her roads. If onehundreth part of the public plunder was applied to the South she would out grow the Xorth-West, for her genial climate would invite im-migration from every quarter. 4- .-.'.

Th ■ The : "I'uni- iv lialtigli I IIH1 Harm LlTTLR THTNGS IN FARMING—The whole success of a farmer hinges upon timely attention to little things. This mainly makes the difference between thrift and poverty. The philosophy of success is expressed iu the old ad-age, u For want of a nail a shoe was lost; for want of a shoo a horse was lost; for want of a horse a man was lost." It is a little thing to keep ac-counts of the pecuniary transactions upon the farm. A half hour Saturday evening wouldxnable farmers to know just how they stand with the world.— Yet we suspect half the men who cul-tivate the soil never make an entry in a book; and for want of this the ac-counts run up fearfully at the store, and many articles, of luxury are pur-chased for which they are unable to pay at the end of the year. Debts ac-cumulate, the farm is mortgaged, and finally lost for want of a little paper and ink. It is a little thing to put up a tool in ita proper, place when not in use. Yet many have.no tool-house, or place of shelter for any implement ot vehicle. Things; are left where they were last used—the plow in the field, the cart in the yard, the chains in the atable, the harness iu the wood-house, the axe at the .woodpile, and the rakes at the corn-crib. Many do not even house the expensive implements they have bought; and reapers and thresh-ers are treated like old plows and har-rows.

BOYCE. Hon. William W. Boyce, once a Representative in Congress from South Carolina, writes a letter on " the situa-tion," published in the Charleston Veto*, the closing portion of which reads as follows: It is a striking fact that both the great political parties of the country have thought it to be their interest to represent Southern society as in a con-dition ofchronic insecurityandviolence —the Democrats, in order to show tin-evils of universal suffrage; and the Republicans to illustrate the disloyal sentiment of the people, and their con-sequent untitness for any part in the control of the Federal Government.- Ret ween these two sets of representa-tions the movement of population and capital to the South is almost entirely checked. Tt is your policy to have it believed that order reigus supreme South. Hence you ought to do every-thing in your power to make order the Met, and to promulgate it. You should I think, keep several ideas prominent-ly iu view as your policy: 1 you ought to regulate the relations bet-ween the whiles and the blacks so as to have harmony and good feeling if possible between them. To this end nothing is so efficacious as kindness to (he blacks. 2 You ought to have perfect toler-ance of political opinion. Let every one, white and black, vote as he pleases, and trust to your tact and natural in iiiteiice for a just share of political power. ;$ You ought to extend a cordial and a kind welcome to the Northern people to settle among you, without regard to I their political opinions. Once you did j I his, I he troubles of the future would l.e largely overcome, and your material progress" would be wonderlul. Sec what immigration is doing for the Northwest, in spite of its austere lunate. Think what immigration GIAUTS OF OLDEN TIMES. In one of his great lectures, I'TCC Silliraau, the younger, alluded to the skeleton of an enormous lizard ofeighty feet. From this the Professor infer-red, as no living specimen of buch magnitude, has ever been found, that the species which it represents has degenerated. The verity of his posi-tion he rather singularly endeavored to enforce by an allusion to the well known existence of giants in olden times. The following list is the data upon which this singular hypothesis is based: The giant exhibited at Rouen in 1830, the Professor says, measured near eighteen feet. Corapitts saw a girl that was ten feet high. The (Saint ('.a la lira brought from Arabia to Home, under Cludius Ca-sur, was ten feet high. l'anum, who lived in the time of Eugene II. measured eleven feet. The Chevalier ScrOf, in his voyage to the Peak Teneriffe, found in oue of the Caravans of that mountain the head of the Guuich, who had sixty teeth, and was not less than fifteen feet high. Thcgaint I'arragu, slain by Orlande, nephew of Charlemagne, twenty eight feet high. In 181! near St. German, was found the tomb of the giant Isorent, who was not less than thirty feet high. In 1509, near Rouen, was round a skeleton whose skull held a bushel of corn, and who was nineteen feet high. The giant Bacart was tweuty-two feet high : his thigh bonus were found iu 1703 near the river Moderi. In I823j near the castle iu Dnpnine, a tomb was found thirty feet long, six-teen wide and eight high, on which was out in gray stone these words: - Ketolochus Hex." The skeleton was found entire, twenty feet long, aud four feet across the shoulders, and five feet from the breast bone to the back. Near Palermo, in Sicily, was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high, and iu 1359 another forty feet high. Near Mazrino, in Sicily, in 1810, was found the skeleton ot a giant thirty feet highl the head was the size of» hogshead. Mid each of his teeth.weigh-i 1 nearly live ounces. Wi: have no doubt that " there were giants in those days," aud the past perhaps more prolilic iu producing them than the present. Rut the histo-ry of the giants during the oldeu time, was not more remarkable than that of dwarfs, several of whom were even smaller than the Thumbs aud Nats of our own time. .' i.r. ..-. i t 'iti-re -. iiy, : .

Veil-1 tilation is a small affair, yet for the j want ot it the health of stock in sfn-bles suffers severely, and disease sets in. It is a small affair to provide good seed at the beginning of the year, but the whole success of the season depends upon it.

The last Farmer't Gazette published a letter from Mr. B. D. Lumsden, of Putnam county, Georgia, in relation to it, which removes our apprehensions. Mr. L. says it has never been cultiva-ted in his region, but it grows wild; and, though it has been there only 6ix years, it covers all the old fields aud lands not in cultivation. Ho says it bears hard pasturage and will seed it-self. Allkind8.of stock feed on it in preference to other grasses. It makes good hay. It is rapidly destroying broomsedge and Bermuda grass and other pests. It comes very early in the spring, aud thereby gets the start of all weeds. It is an annual and dies out each year. It may be easily des-troyed. It grows on any soil. Bears a great abundance'of seed, which if turned under in fall will.cotuo up next spring. It is supposed it would flour-ish in Virginiaquite as well as Georgia. It has been tried with success in North Carolina. The Rev. Mr. Mott, of that State, is an enthusiast about it, and has written several communications iu commenda-tion of it. He thinks so highly of it that he is devoting his time to saving seed to supply, the public demand. A dollars worth will suffice to seed an acre. . His address is: T. S. W. Mott, Sherrell's Ford, Catawba county, N. C. Time for" seeding is February or March. Mr. Mott considers it not only a flue grazer but a great improver of laud.—Richmond Whig. roots, is of great value in promoting the health and vigor of tlie tree. All trees, whether fruit or ornamental, young or old, indigenous or exol ic, are vastly benefited by this process. In hold orchards the soil about the Inn'.' of trees, and toacousiderable distance from them in every direction, should be carefully broken and the upper sur-face, to the depth of three or fonr inches, removed in the spring every four or five years. The eggs of the cureulio and other iusects tire deposited in this stratum and if not removed or destroyed will produce insects the ravages of wh'.c'd the succeeding year will beproduclivi of far greater loss than the <• pense > removing the soil and rep'a ing withcompost or loam.

These things ure in the past. But hundreds of similar schemes, quite as extensive, are now liefore Congress, and the lobby engaged iu pushing them is large and more influential than ever before. Is it any wouder that the West can grow when everything they want in the shap of internal improvements is built by grants of land from the United Stittes! These public lands are the joiut proiierty of all the States and yet not one Southern State can get a foot of land to aid in building her roads. If onehundreth part of the public plunder was applied to the South she would out grow the Xorth-West, for her genial climate would invite im-migration from every quarter. 4- .-.'.

Th ■ The : "I'uni- iv lialtigli I IIH1 Harm LlTTLR THTNGS IN FARMING—The whole success of a farmer hinges upon timely attention to little things. This mainly makes the difference between thrift and poverty. The philosophy of success is expressed iu the old ad-age, u For want of a nail a shoe was lost; for want of a shoo a horse was lost; for want of a horse a man was lost." It is a little thing to keep ac-counts of the pecuniary transactions upon the farm. A half hour Saturday evening wouldxnable farmers to know just how they stand with the world.— Yet we suspect half the men who cul-tivate the soil never make an entry in a book; and for want of this the ac-counts run up fearfully at the store, and many articles, of luxury are pur-chased for which they are unable to pay at the end of the year. Debts ac-cumulate, the farm is mortgaged, and finally lost for want of a little paper and ink. It is a little thing to put up a tool in ita proper, place when not in use. Yet many have.no tool-house, or place of shelter for any implement ot vehicle. Things; are left where they were last used—the plow in the field, the cart in the yard, the chains in the atable, the harness iu the wood-house, the axe at the .woodpile, and the rakes at the corn-crib. Many do not even house the expensive implements they have bought; and reapers and thresh-ers are treated like old plows and har-rows.

BOYCE. Hon. William W. Boyce, once a Representative in Congress from South Carolina, writes a letter on " the situa-tion," published in the Charleston Veto*, the closing portion of which reads as follows: It is a striking fact that both the great political parties of the country have thought it to be their interest to represent Southern society as in a con-dition ofchronic insecurityandviolence —the Democrats, in order to show tin-evils of universal suffrage; and the Republicans to illustrate the disloyal sentiment of the people, and their con-sequent untitness for any part in the control of the Federal Government.- Ret ween these two sets of representa-tions the movement of population and capital to the South is almost entirely checked. Tt is your policy to have it believed that order reigus supreme South. Hence you ought to do every-thing in your power to make order the Met, and to promulgate it. You should I think, keep several ideas prominent-ly iu view as your policy: 1 you ought to regulate the relations bet-ween the whiles and the blacks so as to have harmony and good feeling if possible between them. To this end nothing is so efficacious as kindness to (he blacks. 2 You ought to have perfect toler-ance of political opinion. Let every one, white and black, vote as he pleases, and trust to your tact and natural in iiiteiice for a just share of political power. ;$ You ought to extend a cordial and a kind welcome to the Northern people to settle among you, without regard to I their political opinions. Once you did j I his, I he troubles of the future would l.e largely overcome, and your material progress" would be wonderlul.

In one of his great lectures, I'TCC Silliraau, the younger, alluded to the skeleton of an enormous lizard ofeighty feet. From this the Professor infer-red, as no living specimen of buch magnitude, has ever been found, that the species which it represents has degenerated. The verity of his posi-tion he rather singularly endeavored to enforce by an allusion to the well known existence of giants in olden times. The following list is the data upon which this singular hypothesis is based: The giant exhibited at Rouen in 1830, the Professor says, measured near eighteen feet. Corapitts saw a girl that was ten feet high. The (Saint ('.a la lira brought from Arabia to Home, under Cludius Ca-sur, was ten feet high. l'anum, who lived in the time of Eugene II. measured eleven feet. The Chevalier ScrOf, in his voyage to the Peak Teneriffe, found in oue of the Caravans of that mountain the head of the Guuich, who had sixty teeth, and was not less than fifteen feet high. Thcgaint I'arragu, slain by Orlande, nephew of Charlemagne, twenty eight feet high. In 181! near St. German, was found the tomb of the giant Isorent, who was not less than thirty feet high. In 1509, near Rouen, was round a skeleton whose skull held a bushel of corn, and who was nineteen feet high. The giant Bacart was tweuty-two feet high : his thigh bonus were found iu 1703 near the river Moderi. In I823j near the castle iu Dnpnine, a tomb was found thirty feet long, six-teen wide and eight high, on which was out in gray stone these words: - Ketolochus Hex." The skeleton was found entire, twenty feet long, aud four feet across the shoulders, and five feet from the breast bone to the back. Near Palermo, in Sicily, was found the skeleton of a giant thirty feet high, and iu 1359 another forty feet high. Near Mazrino, in Sicily, in 1810, was found the skeleton ot a giant thirty feet highl the head was the size of» hogshead. Mid each of his teeth.weigh-i 1 nearly live ounces. Wi: have no doubt that " there were giants in those days," aud the past perhaps more prolilic iu producing them than the present. Rut the histo-ry of the giants during the oldeu time, was not more remarkable than that of dwarfs, several of whom were even smaller than the Thumbs aud Nats of our own time. .' i.r. ..-. i t 'iti-re -. iiy, : .
