Clay and Mr.. Webster. is fond osagriculturai life;
and, when not engaged in professional duties, he
occupies himself on his estate at Fort Hill. About
forty cultivated acres surround his mansion
and other sections of his grounds according to the
Express, are occupied with cotton. corn. peas and
various other crops. He has drained his grounds
and introduced rotation of crops-according to the
report of Committee who visited it--with an
unexampled degree ofsuccess. Tho stock on his
farm consisted of hogs, horses, and cattle of good
blood, and in excellent condition. His negro
house is a spacious stone building 200 feet long,
divided into spa cious and comfortable apartments.
In all part. of his he has blended the useful
and ornamental, introducing admirable tlllage
with great horticultural taste and beauty.
The Agricultural Committee who examined
this plantation, report that Fort Hill has been
under cultivation thirty forty years. There
very heavy crop of corn upon it. and a
large number of pea-vines, and the care bestowed
upon it, its production unlimited. In the
uplands of the farm, the Committee found cotton

reviews and defends his public life. We
have room only for two short extracts concerning
Texas and Oregon:
"The negotiation in reference to Texas next
claimed my attention, because it was the most
pressing and could not be delayed without hazard.
In order to avoid the difficulties and embnrrass-
ments which | approhended from the Presidential
election, resolved to keep entirely aloof from the
party politics Of the day. and especially from
questions relating to the election, and to use my
efforts TO induce the candidates not to commit
themselves against annexation. | had little op-
prohension that Mr.. Van Buren, would, as a great
majority of his friends, with Gen. Jackson at
their head, had declared for it. The position Of
Mr.. Clay different. Tho masses of his
friends III the North opposed it, which l feared
would sway him. In order to prevent it if ,ssi-
bic. | saw some of his most prominent friends,
with whom was on friendly terms, and used ev-
cry argument could with them, to exert their in.
fuenco to prevent him from coming ou. against
it. 1t was oil in vain. His letter in opposition
soon after appeared. and Mr.. Van Buren's follow
ed shortly after. most unex pcctedy to me. Their
effect was great"
OF the Oregon negotiation he thus speaks:
81 left it in on unfinished state; and as it is still
pending. | not at liberty to speak Of the
course | took in reference to it; but | trust when
it to be made public. it will not be less sue
ccssful in meeting your appreciation and that Of
the country generally. 1t is subject not with
out great difficulties; and feel assured shall be
Pardoned for expressing hope that it may be so
conducted by those to whose hands it is entrusted
to finish the negotiation, to bring it to success
full and satisfactory termination, and thus avoid
an appeal to arms. Neither country can gain any
thing by such an appeal. or can possibly desire it

Atmospheric Railways.

This now mode of travelling is attracting
much attention in England, and already n Ire
land are roads, constructed on this plan. iii sue
ccsstul operation between Kingston and Oakley.
A committee of the House of Commons has re-
Gently given the subject much attention. and
have mado report highly favorable to tho plan.
They state that the Oakley line has been in opera
ton nineteen months, that it has worked with reg
uIaritv and safety throughout all the vicissitudes
of temperature, and that the few Interruptions
which have occurred, have arisen rather from
ineXpcrience Of tho attendan than from any
material defect Of tho system. High volocities
had been attained on the route, and the ''power'
was found to be adequate to all purposes. The
committee express themselves satisfied that there
is mechanical difficulty which will oppose the
working of the Same system upon a lne of any
length.
The atmospheric principle has not yet been
tried in this country, but at tho last session of
Congress, We believe, law passed authori-
zing company in South Carolina to import free
of duty. tho machinery necessary to put road
in operation. If experience should demonstrate
tho practi cnblity of the plan for all the uses to
which railroads are applied, it will work a radi-
cal revolution in the motive power in on rail-
roads.
