WASHINGTON, February, 1873.

DEAR SIR: Having written three letters TO
the Secretary Of War on the subject, called to-
day in person to see the President, to protest
against any further draughl on Middle Florida and
to suggest that they would have enough to do 10
protect their own frontiers He declared he did
not believe that JEssUP had made any draught or
a cal for one wanted evidence of the (acr; denied
that Florida had ever had Brigader Generals
command in the field (; and, then becoming excited,
he said, "Let the damned cOuards defend their
otcn country;" that he could take fifty women,
J and whip every Indian that had ever crossed the
Suwanee; and the people Of Florida had done less
TO put down the war, or TO defend themselves than
any other people in the United States He said
they ought TO have crushed il at once, if they had
been men ofspirlt and character. lie said if five
Indians had approached into the white settlements
Of Tennessee and Kentucky, not one would have
ever got out alive. lie said The men had better
run off, or let the Indians shoe, them, that the wo.
men might get husbands df courage, and breed I'm
men who would defend the country. He main.
tans there never were six hundred Indians.
When he had finished his harangue, which, Of

him, your Army and all your Generals have beer
in the field, why have they not conquered these
SIX hundred Indians? and why are the people Of

The. measures we. have proposed are
not untried experiments, or Of doubtful

govern ments which we are taught to con-

own, and the results have justified the ex-

caused agricultural surveys to be made of
every county in the kingdom, and pub
lished these surveys, comprising fifty or
sixty volumes, for the benefit Of her agri-
culture. The French government has

we are able to state, from documents in
our possession, that she has offered to her
farmers, for improvements in the beet cul-
ture, and in the domestic fabrication OF
sugar, alone, bounties to the amount OF
seven or eight thousand francs, or one
thousand to fifteen hundred dollars These
premiums are to be awarded the coming
spring The effect of the competition
which these bounties to skill and industry
are calculated tC excite, cannot fail to be
greatly beneficial and abiding. She has
in few years increased the products OF
sugar from her soil to 100000 pounds:
while her arabic and stock husbandry
have been immensely benefited by the ex-
tension Of her beet culture and she is like
successfully to compete, ere long in our

The scramble for political power hav.

means OF improvement being now ample,
the hope has been fondly, though perhaps
vainIy mdu ged, that considerations like
these VIC have suggested would press up
on the notice of our statesmen, and induce
them to adopt such efficient measures fol-
improving the arts of productive labor, as
should command the generous applause O

Vegetables feed ON Vegetables.

The importance of every species of veg
etabe and ANNA matter, as manure for
the SOIL may be made apparent to any far
mer, by few plain considerations.
Every kind of animal matter is derived
originally from vegetables, and is convert
lble, by natural process, again into veg
etables. And every part of vegetable is
IN like manner convertible into new
plants.
The elementary matters of a species Of
vegeta BILE are always the same; that is,
stool of wheat, or stock of corn, grown
this year, contains the same materials, and
IN about the same proportions, as they did
last yea. These materials, which consti-
tute the wheat or the crop, are prin-
clpally drawn from the soil and conse-
quently the fertility ofthe soil is diminish
ed, IN proportion to the number and
amount of the crops which are carried off.
However rich, therefore, soil may be
naturally, it must be evident, that every
crop serves to diminish its fertilitv-that
1t becomes poorer and poorer every wear
until It is no longer worth cultivating-
unless fertility is kept up by restoring to it
the vegetable matters, or a large portion
OF them, which have been carried Off
We have all seen this proved, in numerous
instances, under the old system of farm.
