Grs. GafNEs--The correspondence recent
" published between Gen. GAMES and the War
Department, says the Baltimore American, is
too yoluminous for The columns OF newspaper
generally. Its purpor. however, is so well
understood that no special reason for its re-
publication exists The subloined remarks
from the Philadelphia American seem to be
just and appropriate; we take pleasure in
adopting them. II the period has arrived
when the inirmites Of age require that the
veteran Soldier should seek repose let him re-
tire with honor and with the knowledge that
his good services in times pas, are appreciated
by his country -
'GEN. GArNEs.-ltis impossible to read the

The repeal Of the existing Tariff and the
substitution of reduced rates Of duties are now
urged on the ground Of the necessity Of addi-
tional revenue. Before the waT with Mexico
broke out there was a surplus in the Treasury,
and the Tariff was TO be reduced because il
raised too much revenue. For too little in
come or too much, the same remedy is TO be
applied. II the Treasury is full to overflow.
ing the Tariff must be brought down if the
Treasury lacks money, still the Tariff must be
reduced.
OF the present system Of duties, which has
worked 50 well since 1912, the Union says
that SIT is framed to preremt on 10 diminish inn
portaiions, not to raise revenue" Yet il has
raised revenue and that abundantly. IF the
expenditures Of the Government are now grea-
ter than the revenue furnished BY the Tariff.
it is because "A state of war exists for the ex-
penses Of which no Tariff that could be
framed would be adequate. We have more
than once taken occasion to show that some
thing else besides the rates Of duties regulates
the amount Of importations. The ability of a
country TO pay for imported commodities has
more to do with the amount OF importations
than any other single consideration. If the re-
sources Of a country are developed and its
wealth increased by the encouragement of do
mestic industry il will import acknowledgement
so largely of protected articles as before, but Of
other articles not made at home, yet bearing,
IT may be, high duties. Nothing short Of pro-
hibition, which must stop at once the importa-
ton and the argument, can prevent this course
of things. A nation growing rich and having
every year a surplus, will individually and
collectively buy more-wlll enlarge the style
of living, will indulge in expenditures for the
qualification of taste or fancy, or in carrying
out enlarged operations in business. Tolera-
bly, high duties do not impede this tendency.
The industry which is made active and pro-
duetlve by the protection Of one sort OF manu-
features furnishes the means Of buying the
richer and more costly stuhs not yet manuiac-
tured at home though subject to duties-and
thus revenue comes.
Low duties invite importatons; but impor-
tations will no, continue to be made when the

of One Acre.

The capability of our soil is but partially
understood. With skilful management, it may
be made to yield great burthens and profta-
bic returns, where good markets are available.
A few days since, a parson, q am not allow
ed to give his name for fear his landlord will
raise his rent y gave me the following as the
produce of one acre of land within one mile of
the capitol, in 1915. The soil is a tenacious
clay, and has been cultivated as garden for
many years, but never considered remarka-
bic for its fertility.
1t must be remembered that prices ranged
high last year, which will account for the
great amount received for the articles, viz, in
round numbers:

| No manure was applied except what was
made by the pigs; but the great produce is
ascribed to the use of oyster shell lime, at an
expense Of one dollar and fifty cents per year
for three years. "It was wonderful" he says,
'to see how the ground would heave and
swell after every rain"
Lime for agricultural purposes in this sec
ton, has not been extensively used. Judge
Buel tried some experiments with the Hell
derberg stone lime, but could never perceive
any beneficial results from its application, and
therefore abandoned its use. Probably if he
tried it in clay soil, the results would have
been different.
In Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland,
lime has been pretty extensively used, and
the lands have been nearly quadrupled in val
ue in consequence. In advertising a farm for
sale, as a recommendation, the amount of lime
recently applied is particularly set forth, as
we'll as the proximity of limestone.
| 1t is not generally known, believe, that a
kiln for burning oyster shell lime has been
erected within few years in the south part OF
the city by Mr. Warner and Sons, where it
is afforded at six cents per bushel.
| am informed by the proprietors that their
sales have increased very considerably for the
past year, and their future prospect is quite
tlattering Many of our farmers have been
experimenting with lime, and appear well
pleased with its operation. Several thousand
bushels have been taken down the river to
enrich the soil, and it is hoped that those who
have tried it, whether successful or unsuccess-
full, will communicate the results through the
medium of the Cultivator, for the benefit of
others.
There is one fact, that has been communi-
Gated to me, which is entirely new, in regard
to the action Of lime, and that is, its effects
are greatest in lime soil Or lime region
Can our chemists account for this?

Steam NAVIGATION.

The first working steam engine of which
there is any record, (although descriptions of
such machines bear date as early as BIC. 1909
was invented in England 10y Thomas Slavery,
about the year 1897. These engines were
used but a short time, owing to the danger
of explosion, and the enormous quantity of
fue! used. The condensing engine was
invented by Newcommon & Cawley-the fl rst
"a blacksmith, and the latter glazier. Con-
densation was effected by the application of
cold water upon the outside OF the cylinder,
introduced into hollow casing, by which it
was surrounded. The discovery of condcn-
sation by jet within the cylinder was pure
ly accidental-a small hole through which the
water leaked, making jet directly into the
cylinder, and hence the discovery which is a
much more perfect and rapid condensation
than any other method. 1t has been in use
ever since. About the year 1853, the immor-
tai Watt, then q mathematical instrument
maker, was employed by the professor of nat
ural philosophy in the University of Glasgow,
to make some repairs on the model of an
atmospheric engine used in the lectures. In
some experiments that were required to try
his work. he made several valuable discove-
ries Of the laws relative to the evaporation
of water, which resulted in the invention and
construction of the double acting engine,
nearly similar to the engine of the present day.
Our countrymen were the first to apply the
steam engine successfully to navigation Fitch
on the Delaware, in 785 and Ramsay on the
Potomac, in 1886. Boats were constructed
by several others. The most successful was
that Of Stephens of IIoboken. These boats
were propelled by paddles ''duck's feet"
pumps, poles, &C., put in motion by the en-
CINE. Fulton,in / 795, proposed to propcl boats
by paddle wheels. A vessel was put on the
Seine by him in 1903, and performed sue
cessfulIy. Fulton's was first put in motion on
the Hudson in the summer of 1907, which
secured to him the exclusive right to navi-
gate the waters of New York. Stephens was
but few days later in moving boat, which,
shut out of the waters of New York was taken
round by sea to the Delaware. This was the
first steamboat that navigated the ocean.
One of the first boats that piled the Hud-
son river was built by Fulton, and called the
"Car of Neptune" In book of Travels,
1917, is the following description of the pass
age to Albany in this boat awe left the dock
about five IN the evening, and the next day
about noon, as [ was leaning over the PROV,
perceived something that looked like slen-
der spires, at the head and foot of a distant
hill. 1t was Albany, and by three o'clock we
stepped ashore again, one hundred and sixty
miles north of the capital, which we had
quilted but twenty-five hours before" Ten
hours is now consderdcd a long passage Ere
long, it will no doubt be made in six.-M.
