Production of hay.

--We are gratified to observe that the agriculturists of the South are bestowing attention upon the culture of hay. The Columbia South Carolinian, of the 22d inst., remarks:

‘ The season for saving hay and fodder will this year be industriously turned to account, and these are articles particularly needful. Yesterday we saw several wagon loads of bales of hay from Charlotte and Greensboro', N. C., which seem equal to any from the North. We trust our supply will in the future be from our own rich meadows of our own mountains and upper country. Buncombe produces as fine hay as the North River, and we lack only cheap transportation to be as fully supplied as we have been from Yankee land. Last spring, while on a boat on the Alabama River, the captain mentioned that over ten thousand bales of Yankee hay was carried from Mobile to Montgomery; and our towns — and we are ashamed to say our country residences — have been supplied heretofore by Northern hay.--But this is now past; we hope, forever. Our people have the record before them of Northern hatred and efforts to continue their oppressive taxes on Southern industry, and they have the facts forcibly impressed upon them that we can support ourselves. We only want energy and industry in the right direction to free us from the bondage we have so long allowed to shackle us.
