4 CONNECTION OF THE PLOUGH By AID OF
LEVER, TO ACT IN FRAME UPON FOUR
after various trials, proml-
ses to perform its task.
There is at present an objection to itwhlch
seems impossible TO remedy, in turning
round; to obviate which, it will have to
move in circle. A set Of rloughs or
harrows can be attached to the same frame.
The utility of which can best be judged
by the frame.
REASONS IN sCPPoRr OF THE PRINClrLE.
A wagon is computed to weigh 1000
lbs. The draft for four horses is 5000
lbs. making 1000 lbs. Now, if3 feet of
solid earth 12 inches in width, draw l 800
lbs. against the horse, VIC will suppose it
draws | 500 lbs. upon the axle. But tifthe
earth be broken up first, the usual way, it
will take 10 or IL feet to oppose the same
force of resistance. ] submit these calcu.
Ia,ions TO those whom it may interest, or
TO the Committee on Agriculture. | have
piouphed several rounds on an imperfect
frame, on small scale, which may be
seen by calling at my house in Manches-
ter, Sumter District, S. c. Any commu-
nicalion addressed to me, will be answered
in October, should / reach home.

SPECIE PAyMEyrs-A!i the Banks in the City OF
Charleston which had suspended specie payments
resumed on Saturday last This was sudden and
rather unexpected move, but mono the less desirable
or acceptable, on that account. We arc not aware
of the circumstances which influenced them, appa-
rently without reflection and without concert to
adopt this course, but we imagine that some pOrer-
full and convincing, argument, must have been pre-
scntod which proved, conclusirely, that suspension
was not SO profitable, Or so popular a business as
had been anticipated.

say they have lost, for they have not got

delusive coloring to its editorials if it
