CHARACTER OF rHE WAR-I'co kinds Of Tfea-
on.-Some well meaning people while grumbling
about "the injustice OF the Mexican war" forget
that this is not the proper time 10 discuss that
question. Our country is in state OF war, and
no good citizen can encourage its enemes. Ii is
actual treason punishable with death, for an Anne
rcan 10 furnish the enemy with provisions or
munitions of war or advice. So, also, il is moral
treason, deserving universal reprobaton 10 en-
courage him by language Had Mexicans in
New York dared 10 write what we have seen in
some journals, from the pens Of our own citizens
they would have been Immediately arrested as
prisoners OF war, or confined in the interior, sixty
miles from tide water. We hope this hint
will be OF service 10 some OF our contemporaries.
Having by unity Of action and opinion secured
al honorable peace with all possible rapidity then
we shall have time TO discuss The justice or injns-
tce Of the war.-[.N. y. Sun.

DEEP PLOUGHING.

The roots ofplants should be allowed
TO extend themselves in every direction.
The deeper they penetrate, and the wider
their ramlflcatlonS, the greater will be the
absorption of nourichment. The average
depth OF good soils is about 6 Inches
Every inch added increases its value g
per cent. 50 that a soil where the vegetable
layer is IL inches thick, is worth hafas
much again as that in which it is only six
Inches: 1t is consequently obvious that
whatever, from this cause, may be its en-
hanced value, if not reached at some time
in the progress of cultivation, the remain
der is in effect n cdpm mortuum. BY
deep ploughing the capacity of the whole
soil is called forth. While it enables the
earth, through The agency of air aud water,
to inhale atmoSphercal manure by dimn
iShing the force of the suns rays il lessons
materially its exhalatious. Should the
substratum, which perhaps in every i'm.
stance contains the principles of fertility.
be broken, still, as a general proposition.
the,most signal benefits, prospectveIv, if
not Immediately, may confidently be ex.
peeled to enure from the operation Deep
ploughing inSureS the greatest product
from the smallest given quanty of land.
If by use ofone-halt OF the soil ten bushels
of Corn per acre be obtained, il is reason
able to infer, all other circumstances being
equal, that were the whole in tlth, twenty
bushels would be harvest: indeed much
larger quantity onght to be the result. for
the deeper the soil the greater will be the
nunbpr of STALKS aud tho I,rcror ,i,J ,,,1,l
numerous the ears. The Maize, says Tay-
lor, "is little tree" and possessing roofs
corresponding to its size, penetrates a
depth almost incredible, 9 feet, il is known,
have been reached. Ii follows that, where
from the vigor Of the plant or the lriabIlity
of the laad, the root meet with no obslruc-
ton, the consequences Of drought will be
sensibly diminished, if not entirely pre-
vented. II is believed that the rolling Of
the leaves of corn is attributed solely 10
the absence of moisture. This is an error.
Scanty manuring or shallow tiiage is as
aften the true cause.
To render deep ploughing efebtual, it
should take place in autumn. The ex-
pansive power of frost, aud the modifying
influence Of air and rain and the action
of these IN breaking the continuity of fl
brous matter, are strong reasons in favor
Of the practice. Whether it should be
done once in two or three years only.
which, believe is the opinion Of the most
successful farmers Of Great Britain, or an
nually, as is common in parts Of our couu-
try, is certainly as yet aud undetermined
point.

NANKIN COTTON.

Mr.. CAMAK:-By this mail | forward
you sample of Nankin Cotton in news
paper, which grew from seed | imported
last year from Malta. The staple is finer
and larger than the Malta cotton, as com
pared with some unginned cotton with the
imported seed. planted this cotton on a
plantation where no other cotton grew,
and ginned it in gin where no other was
ginned, thus keeping it from being injured
by mixing with other cotton. 1t grew
finely and was free from the rot which
generally proves very destructive TO our
common Nankin.
/ have a few hundred bushels of the
seed for sale, at two dollars per bushel.
The seed imported cost me more than
double that price. They can be forwarded
to Columbus or ApaIachicoIa by steam
boats, &c. | have an order for some of the
seed from gentleman in South Carlina,
which will be shipped to Charleston via
ApaIachcola. Should yen think the pa
irons of the Southern CultiUator would
wish to procure any Of the seed, vou can
give such notice in that periodical as you
may deem proper.
