But few farmers are willing to undertake the
purchase and use of the subsoil pillow, but all may
adopt the practice of deep plOsoimg by the erdna.
ry method. In many parts of the country, the
soil may be much improved in its wheat-rasing
qualities, by throwing up and mixing with The sur
face, a small portion of the subsoil In some in-
stances this has been attended with srikingy sue
cessful effects. In others, where the subsoi has
been thrown on the surface, the increase in the
growth of wheat has been almost Incredible. A
neighbor scattered the earth taken from ditch
over the surface for many feet on each side. AT
forwards when the crop Of wheat averaged on the
rest of the field scarcely FIVE bushels per acre. the
portion which had been thus covered with subsoil,
yielded from twenty to twenty-five bushels per
acre In this case, the soil was light and the sub
soil somewhat clayey, and contained small por-
ton of carbonate of lime, efervescing slightly in
acid the operation rendered the soil stronger,
frner, and better adapted to the growth of wheat.
Doubtless large portions of our country might be
thus greatly, and perhaps permanently improved,

quantities just beneath the surface. But there

table of Sir George Airy, many distinguished
Englishmen, then in Paris. The conversation
turned on the then pending presidential election,
and fears were expressed that, should General
Jackson be elected the amicable relations between
the two countries might be endangered, in con-
sequence of his high-handed exercise of power,
as evinced during his command at New Orleans
The necessity on the part of our informant, Of re-
plying to these observations, was superseded by
the prompt and generous outbreak Of one the
guests, Col Thornton, Of the 9Th, an officer well
known for his gallant character, and whose regi-
ment suffered severely in the attack of the 9th Of
January. He testified in the handsomest terms to
the conduct of General Jackson, as an amicable
and faithful commander on that occasion. and de.
clared that, had he not used the power confded to
hun in the high-handed way alluded 10, New
Orleans would infallibly have been captured. As

Jackson bad been peculiarly courteous and hu-

the battle the British were permitted to bury their
dead lying beyond certain line hundred yards
in advance of Gen. Jackson's entrenchments-al
within that line being buried by the Americans
themselves. AS soon as the melancholy duty was
peltormed, the British General was surprised at
receiving flag, with the swords, epaulettes and
watches of the officers who had fallen, and note
from Gen, Jackson, couched in the most courteous
language saying that one pair of epualcttes was
missing, but diIigent search was making, and
when found they should be sent in. These arti
cles-alWays considered fair objects OF plunder-
were rescued by General jackson and thus hand
ed over, with request that they might be trans
mitted to the relatives of the gallant officers to
whom they had belonged.

style in which it was given, turned the whole cur

forth an expression of applause from all parts Of
