TRAVELLING HuMBUGs.--Some eighteen
months ago the "Bnckeye Blacksmith" and
the a" Pump-borer" made descent upon
this benighted portion OF the Union, with
the laudable design of enlightening our
rude populace on the science Of govern
meni and political economy. We frequent
ly have wandering mesmerists, astonishing
fddlers, &c.--indeed, we have goodly
share of the genus humJng, for new coun-
try. The last specimen is ore Scion Ro-
binson, sort of stroling drummer and
puffer for the Spectators in improved cat
tie and pigs, wonderful grasses and seeds,
new manures, patent machines, ct cetera,
and agent for northern agricultural papers
which papers are to instruct our people
how TO grow cotton, albeit there is a chance
that the editors nevur saw stalk of cotton
in their lives. He has lately made a tour
through this State, and we suppose can
give "nigh guess" as to who keeps the
best table on the route--of course "hospi-
tably' free of charge. He finds every
thing wrong in our farming operations, as
we gather from his published letters. We
plant too much and too little, and don't plant
right at that--grow what we ought not to
grow, and don'tgrow what we ought; and
the wise 'Soon' comes among us, with ge-
nerous philanthropy, TO teach us better,
and--to find market for his improve
ments, papers, and "notons." We sup
pose some score or two of our credulous
planters will be deuded into losing
time in experimenting on his sug-
gestions the coming year. His letters on
farming are on a par with the Buckeyes
speeches on politics. We wish Solon
pleasant and expeditions trip home!
