PosT OFFICE LETTER ADVERTISING IN BALTIMORE.
Our Baltimore correspondent takes entirely a
wrong view ofthe change in the Post Office letter
advertising in Baltimore.
We have no great sympathy or kindness for the
Baltimore Sun. Its conductors have treated the
Herald, heretofore, in very dishonorable manner,
simply through its connection with the Sun of this
city, and the Ledger in Philadelphia. But we be.
leve that it was very judcious change to take the
advertising of the letters from the Baltimore Patriot
and to give it to the Sun. The Patriot is pape,
Of limited circulation-has joined the enemies Of
Captain Tyler-aided the decentralization of the pipe.
lsyers-and been thorough-gong reckless priat.
The Baltimore Sunis more independent and just
has three times the circuation-and can be more
useful to the Department.
We trust, however, that in Philadelphia the
"Chronicle and not the ledger" will get the lei
ers to advertise. 1t has as large circulation as
the Ledger, and is more worthy journal.

AGRICULTURAL CAPITAL.

What, in the hands Of the farmer. cen
s.itutes capital, is an important query?
With the merchant cash is the capital
with the land owner, land is, the capital;
and with the farmer cash, ldnd and stock
are usually considerd the capital. But
there are many other items that enter
into the capital OF the farmer generally
overlooked, such as implements, manure,
aud the most important Of all, labor.
Capital may be productive or uonproduc-
tive. A million of gold and silver locked
up in strong box, or thousand acres
Of uncuItivated land, may be capital, but
SO long as it remains in this condition
it produdces nothing, ard the owner is
made poorer instead of licher. Increase
of wealth does not depend on the
auantity,so much as IN the use OF it; and
IN nothing is this more observable than
farming. There is many man who has re-
commenced his career as a farmer with
fifty acres Of land; ON this he annually ex-
pended in manure: labor, &C., twenty
per cent,and the, produce was perhaps for
~ per cent. Encouraged by this success
he added to his farm another fifty acres,
but his expenditure in capital is not pro-
portonally Increased, and the profits are
lessened in proportion. Still he has
land enough. and he keeps buying land.
while he adds little or nothing to his ac-
tive capital, and the consequence is
while on.fifty acres of land, he realized
forty per cent. on five hundred acres he
realizes nothing. he has converted his
productive into unproduclive capital.
and from his five hundred acres he does
not realize as much profit as he realized
annually from his fifty acres.or perhaps he
falls behind. There is nothing more true,
than that the inordinate desire Tor large
farms has been the ruin of thousands. Ii

Spontaneous Combetsfion-In lecture
on chemistry, delivered recently by i-r.
Reid, in London, the chief subject was
that Of spontaneous combustion, consd-
cred as a probable cause OF many destruc,
tive fires. The phenomena, remarked
the lecturer, are universal. and If Com
bnstion takes place with oil and cotton
IN batone out of one thousand instances,
1T is only because it is then placed under
favorable conditions aud currents of air.
Substances liable to spontaneous lgnition
may REMAIN for long time. even for
years, without any bad result; but even
a person walking across the apartment
may stimulate them into action. Were
there means to obtain proper knowledge
Of the reaction of chemical materials,
there is no doubt but that many of these
occurrences. lin manufactures and other
places, might be prevented. In some
buildings in the city of Lor don, which the
lecturer had examined, he had found an
accumulation If no less than ten tons of
ihilauHnable matter, consisting of wood
and shavings, the removal Of woirh he
thought, should be provided for by law.
If close examination were mule. it
would lie found that nany fires originated
from causes parely eontrollable.
