AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY.

:
The Boston Traveller speaks in high terms oil
work just published from the pen of PROBES
sor Webster of Harvard University, in which
the writer discourses mostably on the science
of CHEMISTRY as applied to the purposes of agri
culture. Holding, as we do, the pursuit of till
ing the soil in the highest estimation, we are
gratiicd to find that our countryman is disposed
to add to its consequence by investing it with
the charms of scientific attainment 1t must
not, however, be supposed that we attach any
undue weight to theoretical disquisltions which,
being beyond the comprehension of practical
farmers, are calculated to bewildcr or misead.
CHEMISTRY as applied to agriculture, is partlcu-
larly valuable inasmuch as it furnish know
ledge of the constituent parts Of soils, and by
explaining the chymlcal relations in which they
stand to each other, elucidates the manner in
which they act as stimuants to- or supporters of,
vegetable growths. 1t often happens that the
earth contains elements which Of themselves are
worthless, but which, with the aid of additional
ingredients, forming new combinations, become
extremely valuable In this point Of view,
CHEMISTRY presents no mystery too abstruse for
solution by the most ordinary intellect. Plants
derive their characteristics from the soils in
which they grow, and it oflenh happens that earths,
though unproductive of one kind of crop,
will yield abundantly when subjected to the
culture. Of some other. In this way il is that
lime, plaster-of-P Paris, and the class of manurcs
of a similar character are used with such decid-
ed benefit. For instance, experience has shown
that what are termed old fields, turned out to
waste on account of their poverty, may be
made eminently productive by lining or the
use of gypsum. To use a common phrase, the
land has lost its life, but, by the application Of
the articles above named, new energy is i'm
parted, and, if it be set in clover, this plant will
shoot up and grow with vigor In the process
of vegetation as is well known, large portion
of the increment is derived from the atmosphere,
in gaseous form, it is true at first, but convert
bic by the hand of nature into solid shapes
These substances thus produced, on being re-
stored TO the soil by ploughng, pass into state
of decompo siton and add to its richness and
fertility. As it is the business Of CHEMISTRY to
show how these things are done, it must be evil
dent TO every one that such a science must be
productive Of the best practical results. In the
ueighborng State of Maryland farms that a
few years since, were valueless, have become
sources of great wealth. aud although the pro-
prietors canno tell how the change has been
uon 10 them as important as II is inerplicable.

LORD ASHBURTON.

We had occasion yesterday to notice the ar
rival Of this distinguished stranger amongst us,
and we now take up our pen most respectfully
10 lnculcate a strict adherence on the part Of
our countrymen to the rules of courtesy and de-
corum which should distinguish great nation,
IN It's intercourse with the representative OF any
loreign power, but more especially of the coun-
try from which many of u, are descended. In
visiting our shores, his Lordshp comes "a the
accredited agent of his sovereign to procure a
full understanding, and if possible, arrangement
OF difficulties of the most important character.
Clothed with such high powers, the special
Minister of England will, doubtless, receive at
mark Of consideration, and at those Of the com
lnunity all becoming Difference and respect
Ia extending the olive branch of peace and con
citation, it will be proper to manifest the firm
ness that should characterize free and inde-
pendent nation, when the assertion of its dear
est his is involved, mingled with mildness
and good feeling, for never was there a
more fitting occasion for the display of what is
conveyed in the Latin maxim " sudriter in mo-
d. tortiter in re-" On the Threshold of the
negotiation that is about to take place, it cannot
lad 10 be remembered that his Lordship is, in
all probability, possessed Of the kindly feelings
likely to spring from an intimate connection
with the affairs of our country during many
years. 1t will not, however, at the same time,
be forgotten that he comes under full
sense Of the responsibilities under which he
acts with reference to his Sovereign and the
powerful nation which he represents. Enter
tanning confident hopes Of speedy and salts
factory result OF the intercourse to be had be-
tween the two high powers, the rights of which
are involved, we cannot shut our eyes to the
possibility of different and infinitely less graft

desire that the National Legislature will per

and if People will be 50 foolish as to entertain
ridiculous prejudices in behalf of foreign pro-
ducts, let them be made to pay well for their
pr, ferences. So far as this goes, there can be
no valid objection urged by the most tenac ous
opponent of protection purely as such, TO the
American operative. A word by the way in
passing, with reference to these operatives,
whom lre regard as bearing no comparison
whatever with the classes known under the
same denomination abroad. In passing sen
tence upon Incidental protection it should be
borne in mind that in placing our practical man
ufacturers on the same footing with foreign arti-
sans, we must, inevitably, lower them in the
scale OF morality and intelligence, and conse-
quently. degrade the character of our country.
The American manufacturer or tradesman, how
ever dependent on labor for support, is being
infRiteiy more noble and enlightened than the
two-legged animals that toll for q fep
