After silence of six months, in this journal, take peculiar pleasure i'll paying my respects once more to the cultiyators of the soil. and the hard-fsted mechanics in the South-West. IL is well known to most of the readers of the Agricultulist, that have long ardently desired to see all Agricultural College in the United States, and have never doubted Ii one institution of the kind could meet com pletc success, others would soon spring into existence, and the time would come when the system would generally prevail. States have attempted to establish such institutions and failed; individuals have also made all effort, and the necessary buildings are so nearly complete, that sfranklin College opened on the first. with between forty and fifty students, and prospects are favorable for as many can be accommodated, iu few months. However, 1 think it not at all de- sireabe 10 have large number of students at first Many of the youths of the country are so much in the habit of following their own wills, that only few, and they gener- ally of the middIing classes of society, can be made fully sensible of the great utility of improvement in education,

 So far, the number of mechanics in dttcn- dance, is not so great as would be desireable. To be sure, some few are engaged as house carpenters, most of whom will poy GH their expenses by their industry. BIacksmiths, coach makers, saddlers, ahoemakers, tailors, and cabinet workmen, are wanted. 4 young man acquainted with any of these trades, and who IS willing to devote some four or five hours day to honorable industry, may be assured that he can at least pay for his board- ing and trition by his trade-perhaps good deal more, and secure aa education in as short time as if he possessed millions Will friendly Editors mention this to their readers Applicants may address the sub- serber as P. Master of Franklin College.
