From thej Southern Agriculturalist. On the General Management of a Plantation in the Middle Country: by a Planter. , Dear Sir: If the following on the General Management on a Plantation, in the . Middle Country, is thought worthy of a place in your columns, it is at your service. I have delayed sending it before, from the doubt w he ther its details were not too much an every day's business, and too trite to be interesting-, and somewhat by the appearance of presumption, in under taking to give directions where there are so many more competent to instruct. It must be obvious to the least reflect ing mind, tint the same course of treat ment would not be proper for all soils, nor for the fame soil in a very wet or very dry season; indeed, so variant are the soils, and the seasons acting on it is scarcely possible to give directions, however general, that will apply to them: and none are here given, nut s in their app ment, and i: understood. a icb as should be moulded ication by a sound judg such way I desire to be I would set a crop for provisions and four bags of cotton to each full labourer, 03- planting seven or eight acres of cotton, and from three to six of corp, besides small grain, and would put ploughs into the hands of one third ofjthe workers, of whom one half should pe skilful, as I would pro vide mould rjoard ploughs, (the best of which that I am acquainted! w ith, are those set on large shovel stock.) large shovels from 9 to 12 inches, colts foot and straightltopth harrows, skims, &:c. The cotton to be hoed over in twelve or fourteen days, the corn twice in the season, and Both cotton and corn to b plough d in twelve or fourteen days. The plough?! to go twice or three times in the rowsVnd do from three to six a cres per dayj the hoes an acre each, as is usual. T?he number of ploughs on a well stocked plantation, where von design to cultivate corn for sale, should be enough to! attend all the corn croo without -the occasional assistance of those who precede the, hoes in the cot ton. I would commence5 the winter preparations for this crop on the first of January, or earlier, if the cotton js all gathered in, bv putting cotton in all the corn land small trrain lands of the preceding ymr, and corn into the cotton lands! as they both benefit by the exchange, I would put up and lay the cornstalljs uncut into; the allevs where they grew, and with the hoes list or draw All the gr.ass, grass-seeds, weeds and surface soil from the beds on them, a m(juld board lough follow ing, and covering with tvo cuts close to them, so as to cover better, and to raise the earth high as it is to be the top of the futir bed; the same is to be done with all he other grassy lands ni ton. On clean lands I tended for co would lay thej cotton-stalks in the cen tre of the allefys, and not use the hoe, but cover w ith two cuts of the plough; there is not. much advantage? gained by listing witn the hoe on clean ground, far otherwises . where there is much growth in the! ground, and if you do not use the hte, you double the task: the stalks are jbetter laid with the roots in the same direction, for the greater convenience m ploughing, but it is not very materia 1 - rial. I prefer prefer not to run a furrow to list in, because, as the grass and other grow th cannot so ea- i silv be rrot td the bottom ot the fur row, it becomes mixed with the ploughed upjearth, and part is on top, and as the same earth cannot be re turned from whence it came, the list is mad two large, and is not efiectually covered1 by t le plough. Where you design to rui your rows in a contrary direction to tjhose of the previous year, or you change their distance ; apart, it is neater to have lists, and you must, of course, ran a furrow, and deep e- nonch to SO to the Dottom 01 me oiu 1? ln it. I Theforeiro- ing is the usual winter preparation; but where 'you wish to save time for a ny other purpose in the winter, you may, on your light and dry lands, poll HALIFAX, 3?; C. EPTHtBBF4R 23, 130. and hay the cotton sMlk iirthe allevs, not hoe-list, if not grassy, and so leave it till planting; then two cuts of the mould-board plough thrown on it, makes a bed, which the hoes following 1 immediately chop, and the planter fol-j lowing them, drop the eed and cover with' the font. I think there is more moisture and more-ertainty of a good rise of cotton in thi way. The first working of this cotton is to be done by splitting up the ridge or old bed at one cut of the broad shovel, the hoes earthing jt as is uual. About the be- i ginning of March, other furrows are' lobe added, so 'as fully to plough out: all the alleys or bnulks, and the hoes make the. bed; w here cloddy, as is , generally the case in our swamps, they are to be reduced by the straight-toO-, thed harrow. It is, perhaps best to 1 make them up with the hoe, as they j can better regulate the height and j width accordincr to the land. You may -make them up with two cuts ofj the triangular harrow, on good ground well thrown up with the plough, or af ter the plough alone. The rounding harrow you will have an idea of, by supposing two rows of teeth showing on the underside of the felloe of a w heel. I believe there is a description of this implement in General William-, very excellent practical letter in your second volume. Your lands for corn are prepared by threshing the cotton stalks and by cutting your corn stalks into three or four pieces, and throw into the alleys two cuts of the mould board plough; you plant on these two furrows, or the old bed, as you see best, after a single cut of the broad shovel across them. I prefer the old bed. All your lands intended for cotton, should be listed either bv the hoe and plough, or hand and plough; of which, the latter is by one half the most expe ditious, and it should be done as early in the winter as the necessary provision for your stock will permit; it would be much better if you could keep them out of your Ileitis altogether; they do more injury by their hoofs, than they ever compensate by all other means; every mouthful they take from the field, is" so much manure already placed there for you, and stiflf soils they poach in wet weather. The cattle-pen is the proper place for them; the stock should be small where the resource is the fields I have thus tried, Mr. Editor, to give you what I consider the usual pre paration for a crop of cotton and corn on stiff and light lands. The making and application of manures ought to be the subject of another communica tion. My next must plant, and try and make the crop, in the actual per formance of which I am now closely engaged. A PLANTER. Scratches in Horses. This disor der or difficulty is too well known to all who own those noble animals or deal in them, to need a particular de scription of it. The remedy is sim ple, safe and certain, in all cases which have come to my knowledge, how:ever inveterate. It is only to mix white lead and linseed oil in such proportions as will render the application conve nient, and 1 have never known more than two or three applications neces sary, to effect a complete cure. ' American Silk. A gentleman from Mansfield. Conn, informs the editor of the N. E. Farmer that at least 4 tons of raw silk have been raised in Connecticut this season; and that the silk raised in Mans field and the adjoining towns this year has amounted to 24,000 all of frhich has found a ready sale. St7& Shirts. A silk manufacturer at Berlin has presented to the Society of Arts in that city an article for shirts, which he calls toile de soie. Several physicians assert, that the use of silk near the skin is very conducive to health. Toit Hours. One person rises in the morning at half-past 9, another at 6.

There is to be found occasionally there, a judce of decision and firm ness, to compel decorum eveli among the most turbulent spirits.'or at . least to punish summarily all violations of law and propriety. The following circumstances, which occurred in Ken tucky were related to us by a gentle-1 man w ho was an eve. w itness of the whole transaction. Several years since, Judce R. a na tive of Connecticut, was holding a court at Dan ille. A cause of consid erable importance came on, .and a Mr. D. then a lawyer of considerable em inence, and afterwards a member of of Congress, w ho resided in a distant part of the State, was present to give, it his personal supervision. In the course of Mr. D's argument, he let fall some profane language, for which he was promptly . checked and repri manded by the Judge. Mr. D. ac customed to unrestrained license of tongue, retorted : with great asperity, and much harshness.of language. ' "Mr.-Clerk," said the Judge, cool ly, "put down twenty dollars fine to Mr. D." " By G " said Mr. D. " I'll not pay a cent of it under heaven, and I'll swear as much as. 1 please." " Put down another, fine of twenty Dollars, Mr.' Clerk." u I'll see the devil haVe your whole generation,"- rejoined Mr. D. before mv pockets shall be picked by a cursed Yankee interloper.' " Another twenty dollar fine, Mr. Clerk." V You may put on as many fines as you please Mr. Judge, but by G there's a difference between imposing and collecting, 1 reckon." - " Twenty dollars more Mr. Clerk." "Ha ha!' Iatmhed Mr. D. with some bitterness, " You are trifling with me, I see Sirj but I can tell you, I un derstand no such joking; and by G Sir, you will do well to make an end of it." "Mr. Clerk," said the Judge with' great composure, "add twenty dol lars more to the fine, and hand the ac count to thcSherifi Mr. D. the mo ney must be paid immediately, or I shall commit you to prison." The violence of the lawyer compell ed the Judge to add another fine; and before night, the obstreporous barris - ter was swearing with all his might to the bare walls of the county jail.

Mr. I D. soon learned the feelinp with which the champion regarded him, and withdrew without attempting to execute his threats of vengeance up on the Judge. Xtw Hactn Palad. 1 lnirkal Magnetism. The follow ing fact, which is so interesting to the historyjof Matrnctism, has taken place in the department of Gers, at the resi dence of the Judge of the Peace for the Canton of Condor, in the presence of divers respectable persons. John : , a farmer aged twenty three, had an abscess inside of the up per part of the leg. The "professional men who attended him prevailed on the patient to submit to a puncturt, but the greatest caution and fortitude were necessary, as the crural artery, which I traversed the tumour, was frightfully Enlarged. Count de R ,whose magneti cal' power is remarkable, proposed to magnetise ; the p; tient to produce in sensibility; in that part of. the body where the operation was to he perfor med for the purpoe of sparing him those sufferiniTS which would be una voidable in a waking state. The pro posal was accepted. At the end of two minutes the patient was pluncrcd in a magnetic stale. Somnolency manifested itselfimmediately, but with-, out any particular consciousness.: The patient replied to his magnetiser, that he sought him in vain, that he could neither see the disease, nor the cause thereof. Dr. Lar, nerform- ed then the surgicial operation, w hich had been deemed requisite,-with the greatest dexterity. He repeatedly plunged the instrument into the bistou ry in order to gie an insue to the pur ulent matter, when its flow was imjve ded by albuminous flakes. The wound was afterwards bound up.
