Sparkling Catawba I Springs,
CATAWBA CUUNTYt N. C. 7
This celebrated . Watering iTlaceJ formerly called
North Carolina White Sulphur Spriiigs, wjii be open
for visitors on Wednesday, the 1st day of June.
Being situated in the Northwestern part of the
State, in a section remiknble lor its deligtittul
climate, beauty aud healthiness, these, together with
the virtue of the, waters, make it one of the most de
sirable Watering Places to be found.
The Mineral ; Waters of these - Springs are. the
White and Blue Sulphur, and ChaTyebeate r Iron,
and they possess ail the finest qualities of thefe
waters, and are sovereign ; remedies for all J-emale
Diseases, diseases of- long standing, diseases of the
liver, bowels, stoinnch, kidneys, Pulpomiry diseases,
Eruptions of the; skin. Scrofula. WuaKuess, Debility,
From the numerous wouderful cures that have
eome immediately under my own observation within
the Inst four years (by the use of these waters) I m
satisfied that thiiais the place for all whose condition
can be improved by the salubrious character of any
water that Hows from the earth, and the medicinal
qualities of the same are not excelled.
Our rooms, in both. cottages and ;other buildings,
are. large and pleasant ; cottages containing from
two to six rcxims each, suitable for large or small
families. Many rooms having been already applied
for, arrangements will be made to accommodate a
large number of visitors, and it is to be hoped that
onr Southern people will patronize the Sparkling
Catawba, which ought to be the p'ride of North Caro
lina, as well as the South, for no watering place can
offer greater inducements for either health or
pleasure. )
. The Bar will be supplied with Choice liquors and
segars. Good Ten Pu Alleys. Billiard Tables, cue
of which will be of the most approved style.
Good Bath Houses, for Pool, riunge or Shower
Baths, and Sulphur Baths, hot or cold.
.A good Band of Music, six or more performers,
has beeu engaged for the season, and a good Physi
cian permanently located for the benefit of invalids,
who will have good attention.' . j
The Sparkling; Catawba ibis season will be under
the management of Mr John L. Eubank, (who, for
the lat three years, has been manager of the Heal
ing Springs in Virginia) assisted, by Mrs. M. A.
Wrenn, and visitors may rely upon landing a good"
table. . . . ;
The esrs, on the Western and Morganton Railroad,
leave Salisbury !very morning, .Sundays excepted,
for Hickory Station, the Sprines Depot, where hacks
with good drivers will be ready to take passengers
to the Springs, a dNtance of six miles, over a beau
tiful, well shaded road. .1 . .1 V' '

The? revenue of the government is, in round
numbers; $354,000,000 that . is. from internal
resources $180,000,000, : and from "customs
174,000,000. The leadingjand prominent men
of the 'dominant land administration party, in
Congress assert that the government can be
jearried on with an 'expenditure of a hundred
millions a year, or less, independent of the inter
est on the debt. The total interest on the debt
is, without calculating fractions, 8127.000,000.
Add a hundred millions to! this for current ex

Brain-Work, Diet and Rest,
v BY - REV. L. PERKINS.
An uninformed laborer, who has just returned
from the field 'with jhis grubbing-hoe ' on his
shoulder, would.be vety much astonished if you
were to tell him thai the student, who had spent
four or six hours of the day in hard study, had
wasted as much of th power of hie as the man
with the hoe. .Men lwho are used to having
weary muscles imaginq themselves the only class
oi peupie iuai are .weanoj: ous : meir aves oy
their calling, and. theyi have but little sympathy
with those woo pre, bra in-weary as it is a condi
tion !to which fcftey areo!ten strangers. ,
It is, however, truej that brain-work exhausts
a man's J energies, not fonly astiiuch but even
rffiorethsrtt muscuhtr elloi t -if ls iiioro essential
that the train-worker should be suitably provided
with food espcciaiiy adapted to his wurk, than
the man oi mere uiusce.--"It
has been estimated
bv Prof- llauhton . that th
ree' bours of hard
study will produce, mure important changes of
the tissues than a whojo day lot muscular labor,
so that it may be considered us a maxim that.
"the labor orVtho braiji causes jrreater waste of
tissue than the labor of the muscle
The importance of the brain-in the ', animal
econpmy is" indirnied by the! fact,' that one fifth
of the blood is sent to urjiin, !aUhough the brain
is but about' one-forget b. of the whole body,
weighing about fifty ounces. , This fact indicates,
further, that the1 worl of wasto : aud repair is

Agricultural.
Cause and Prevention of Rest in Cotton.
From an Essay on this subject by Edw'd E.
Evans of South Carolina, published in tho Rural
Carolinian, make ; the following extracts
which! yre know will bo intercstin j to Cottoo
planters: ' - ' ' ' 1
"ITaying thus stated the theories of the dis-.
ease, it will be instructive to examine the Tarioui
facts which have fallen under our observation, ',
both in the appearance of the disease and the -remedies
which have been employed, to see how
far they may accord with ono or the other of
these theories; how far they may be explained
upon recognized. principles, and 1 ow fir they
may ILrnwlJurther light upon tbia obscure eub
ject. i he first fact which we observe i- that in j
unpropitious seasons, 6uch os the last, the dis-
ease prevails generally, and uffects soils of almost
every description. 't Here the exciting causa .
would Beeni to ho in certain atmosphcrio conii-
t ions, and in conflictwith the theory of noxious .
matter as an exclusive one. Hero the disease
would seem to be beyond the, contro) of the v
farmer ; but it is not eutirely so. On my own ;
farm, during tho last season, amid the general
prevalence of the disease, a new ground and '
premium acre under high treatment, on opposite '
sides of the farm, were entirely exempt, j This
fact proves that under the most adverse atoios
pheric condition, a high condition of the soil, i
natural or artihcial, will mitigate if not prevent
the disease. The second Tact which we notice,
is that certain soils are extremely liable to the
disease, while others,' and especially new lands.
are generally exempt. ' Here the exciting cau?9
is evidently in the sou, and the cause is c. . . :
apparent. Imperfect drainago and exccs3rf
vegetable or mineral matter are clearly unhealthy
to the growth of plants, and, as might be antici-
pated, a removal of them will correct . the evil. rs '
Mora thorough drainage and thecpplication of
lime or ashes has, with the observation of many . ,
of us, arrested ! the tendency to rust in certain
lands.-: !;:;!,,- , i , .
' Thero is one class of lands extrcmply liable ta
rust, the cause of which is difficult to understand.
The isinglass lands upon our . rivers f are among r
our dryest and most fertile soils. r In thoproduc- '
tlon of corn they 6tind unrivalled, and yet they
almost invariably produce rust in cotton. W10 '
new,' they are said not to rusty and it may bo ,
that their very geucroiis Bature has led to cx -vn
li-ustion in some osscntiat element, . Itwould
be .-, difficult to1 estimate the amount of. potasb .
phospliorio acid, lime, etc., which these generous
soils have, year after year, yielded to the tillage ; -
of the farmtr. This view ia , sustainci by tho i
fact that high manuring has been fouud at) '
effective remedy.1 '.'-1 . j y . " i
:A tnira met is tnat coitorf usaally rusts at
(about the same period of its erowth about the
period of fruiting. I have never known a younr
piant to do nuectea by the disease.. It is at the
tinie -of fruiting that tho demands npon (be toil
are larjrest. The ash of tho cotton seed amrmnta '
to four' per cent of weight, and is ono of tho
richest of all vegetable substances a inorgsnio
.matter. It might be expected, thentbat any
defect of the soil would bo exhibited at this
critical period, and the vigor andstrcngth of the
plant being impaired, jt would fall an easy tictinl
to disease. - It is a well attested fact that man.
uring, at this time, has often cheojked the develop
ment of rust. Again, it has been observed that -cotton
manured with guano has taken rust,
while that unmanurcd and adjacent has escaped.
This fact is not singular when we reflect that thq
effect of guand, especially in small quantities, Is
soon exhausted, and the plant is then left upon '
very poof soils in worse condition than if no
manure had been used.- . ,. - '
. Again, it is said that the prolifio varieties,'
which are now known under tho general term of
Pickson' seed, were found more liable to rust
than the ordinary varieties. The principle opor)
whicu this depends will not bo difficult to dia- ' '
cover when we examine into the exact function !
which the plant performs in producing fruit. "
Alone tho plant can produce nothing. It can1
only wot k up into living forms tho dead elements '
of the soil, and, if thee elements are wanting
the very tendency to fuitfuluess is itself a ourco '
of failure. . ".; . ? ' ; ; ' "
"In the report of a commission appointed, by ,1
the Government of; Australia, to in vestigate the ,
cause of mildew in wheat, it is stated as sap
portrd by facts that thdtnOrc improved and pro-,
anctiye varieties were peculiarly subject to tne, '. , -,
disease. This .troth is sustained by analogies r .
from animal JifeJ '? Improved itock !req aire im- j
proAcd pasturage; -and improved and prolifio
plants require a higher condition of the noil. " ( ,,.
Z: From what has been said, I think .we may
Conclude that whatever may . be t)ieeutt iiatre i
of the disease,! its cxciting.canse varies with the''"
varied condition of soil and eeiison. .It .may bfl.
affirmed that whatever is unhealthy to tho plant, '
will generally cause h to develop rust- . A gen- . 1 '
era! remedy is alone to be found in judicious ,'-,
manuring and cultivation' A frpccial cause will
often require the application of a special reiucdy. .
, .There is a dispsitiou onKgig the purely pracv 1 ' -t
ticaj farmers of the country to oscrilo tho dis- 1 '
ease to some general cause, such, for example, as ' '
fhe presence of the pokeweed, aud to seek fur a
remedy applicable to all cases. , In this view . '
common, salt is sometimes recoiaroen4ed as a i--' '
paoacai. k The value of salt, both ai a manuro ' 1
and as a remedy formlldew ju grain, eontt Unlet
one of the most vexed questions in the literature
of Jjngiiiih agriculture, and its value in . this
country seem equally uncertain. - Some remark
able facts have been stated ,to me by, several of
j our' best farmers, attesting its value ks a preven- ' ,, i'-rt" "
t tivd of rust. ''But it s difficnlt to account for iu'
action in this tept'Cf. 'Its base ctHiktitutca ono
of the least iinportaut elements which enter into'
plants, and its value as a septic agent moat be'
iufcriot' to both lime and ashes. Its effect in I
destroying fuscct-lifc is well known; sud in Eg.
laud it has been found equally dost rnctive to '
fuugns growth. It is to, thU (hat l'rofessor ,
Johnston ascrdes its value both as a preventive
and a remedy for mildew., . 1 .
