butte the small crops Of corn generally
made on rice plantations to the cutting
ofthe surface roots BY too late ploWing
orhilling.
In 1842 I endeavored to bring to the
view Of the South Carolina Agricultur-
al Society the improper use Of the plow,
by stating some experiments I made
for that purpose, which were as follows:
! selected eight large stalks Of corn in
my garden at Hampstead. Just before
tasselling, I had the earth cut and to-
ken out a few inches from the stalks,
the depth and width Of the spade, so
that could see that the surface roots
were all cut to that depth around the
stalks. In the next experiment, the
roots were cut in o similar manner on
two sides. In the third experiment,
roots were cut but the earth not removed.
On the remaining two stocks the roots
were not disturbed in any way. The
ears shot out as usual, and all of them
appeared fine and large. On exami-
nation, when they were all we'll matured,
the ears from the two first stalks were
entirely defective, having but few
scattered grains on the cob. In the se-
cond experiment, ears defective in o
considerable degree, but not 50 much SO
as in the first. In the third experiment,
defective, though less so than in the
other caaes. On the two last stalks,
where the roots we're not cut or distur-
bod, the ears were remarkably fine and
we'll filled. These experiments were
to my mind conclusive on the subject.
1 also examined the same year( 1841)
with great care the roots of corn grow
ing in o rich soil. Iobserved that there
were innumerable small fbrous roots,
running in all directions towards the
surface of the earth; some of them,
though remarkably small, extending to
the length of four or five feet from the
stalks. These are roots that afford
nourishment to the plant, and which
must not be cut near the period of ma
turity. JOHN II. TUCKER.

Estract Of aletter from Y. McBee Esq.
First I would remark that I never
break up my land in winter, as has been
advocated. l open burrows that I in.
tend to manure for corn as early as I
can through the winter, six feet apart,
and where the land will suit, level land
north and south. I mostly compose
manure, stable, yard, ashes, chip,
swamp OF alluvial earth, and haul and
scatter the manure in the burrows. I
then run small Tongue or coulter plow
in the side Of the burrows, which in some
measures mixes the earth and the ma
nure. It is then ridged over that with
2 nice turning wing plow, sometimes
by running two rounds, and if the land
is in good order one will answer. AT
planting, the ridges are opened with o

Col. Wards Plan.

My DEAR SIR: Your favor of the
31st January had the pleasure to re-
ceive scme days since, and would have
attended to it sooner but for press of
business; however, I trust I may not be
too late with information, even should
it be of any use to you.
I follow my slip corn, which I plant
in beds four and q half feet from cen
tre to centre, with a crop of corn. Be-
fore digging slips I strew between the
beds rice straw, the vines are then care
fully hoed off and placed on the straw.
Care is then taken in hauling down tho
beds to cover up the straw and vines.
About the first of March 1 run on the
original beds an OK plow, opening a
large furrow, which is filed up with
manure, such as can obtain, (but pre-.
fer horse stable and hog pen,O } which is
backed up with o single plow. Last
year / planted corn on 9th March,
two feet on the beds; four or FIVE grains
of corn were dropped in each chop;
this was to secure a good stand, which
I found difficult the last season.) Af.
ter my rice crop is planted, the hoes
are then turned in, the corn thinncd
out to one stalk, the beds cleaned of
grass, and little dirt hoed around each
stalk. The corn is then plowed accor-
ding to circumstances. Three plowings
are about as much rs I can give, owing
to the rapid growth Of the corn. AT:
ter the last plowing the hoes are again
put in to bed it up and lay it by.
I planted last year, as above only
thirty-threo acres of land at this place,
and have measured of shell corned, we'll
winnowed, 1927 1-2 bushels. My
five acres of prize corn made GAL bush

A THOUGHT WORTH REMEMBERING.-
At the late anniversary Of the New York
Typographical Society; the veteran Noah
gave the following admirable sentiment:
"1he Printers Apprentice. May he
always bear in mind that he may be q
journeyman; the journeyman; that he
may be the proprietor and editor; and the
editor that he may enjoy the highest hon.
ors in the gift of the republic"
Ifyou will secure q contented spirit,
you must measure your condition, moi
your fortunes, by your desires-that is, be
governed by your needs, not your fancies.

PUBLIC MONEY IN THE BANKS.

The Baltimore convention resolved, in
1914 and ls4S, that 90 the separation of
the funds of the Government from bank
ing institutions is indispensable for the
safety of the funds of the Government
and the rights of the people" So MIR.
WALKER advised Congress to pass the
Sub-treasury law, and thenceforward there
was to be no more connexion with the
banks.
But we learn from the defenders of Mr..
Collins, surveyor Of the port of Cincinnati,
who has begun to count out his money on
the third call from the Treasury Depart
ment, that he has large balance in the
Commercial Bank, belonging to the Gov
eminent. Now, we should be pleased to
learn how money belonging to the Gov
eminent found its way into the vaults of
a bank We only ask for information.
We had supposed that all Government
funds were to be deposited in the only
constitutional treasury.
1t is probable that we shall be enlight-
ened on this subject when we are furnished
with the senior EDITORS explanation OF Mr..
DENBY's case. Not word yet from that
Richmond correspondent Not word yet
of those further details which we were
promised in f" day or twol" No infor-
nation current as TO whether or not Mr..
MASON has returned to Richmond Not

peculations of BoYD, HARRIS, and HAw-

public wonder, and nobody vouchsafes a

are insensible to the shame and disgrace
Of all this peculation and plumber.
We do not so much blame the ex-offi-

Mr.. OSBORNE, and Mr.. MASON, to their
fate. The memory of other days might
have induced the senior editor to persist
in their defence-tbe memory of "those
Attic nights, and those reflections of the
gods" when the elite Of the distinguished
Democrats of Richmond, over their apple
toddy and egg-nogg, settled the destinies
Of nations--and, Warwick-like, made and
unmade Presidents at their pleasure. But

THE HUNGARIAN NEWS.

In consonance with universal hope, but
almost contrary to expectations, the affairs
of Hungary assume a far brighter aspect
The immense chain of troops with which
it was sought to fetter the Magyar leaders
has been found inefficient, and the Rus
slams and Austrians, from pursuers have
become the pursued. The difficulty of re-
porting by telegraph unfamiliar names
renders it as yet impossible to realize the
precise portion of the various corps it is,
however, evident that the advantage of the
whole campaign is with the Hungarians.
This great advantage is besides enhanced
by the fact, that while the Hungarians are
in fine health and discipline, the Impe-
rialist army, or at least the Russian portion
of it, is almost disorganized by disease and
fatigue. Comorn appears to remain in
Statu quo. There is nothing in the &C
counts yet received to satisfy us as to
whether General Luders has been defeated
or not. Georgey appears to have joined
Dembinski, who was thus enabled to op-
pose Paskiewitch at Eylau tits probable
that the mystic words BEN, Ban, Baum,
imply that BEN defeated the Ban at Baum.
The journals will, however, reach us in a
day or two, when it is probable that all
doubts will be made clear.

We have required to the history of this
attempt at legislation, for the purpose
merely of showing that the idea has never
been seriously entertained in Congress, of
instituting post-ofice espionage Of letters
and wriiten papers. Though there was a
difference of opinion among wise men as
to the propriety of legislating with regard
to pamphlets and printed papers, the pro-
vision contemplating an espionage of sealed
letters was abandoned, without word
being said in its defence.
With regard to the sealed letter in the
hands of the Spartansburg postmaster, we
suppose that nobody will be very anxious
to claim it; but if any body should insist
upon proving title to it, we apprehend
that the postmaster will feel it his duty to
deliver it. If it should be produced in court
sealed, we apprehend that the postmaster
cannot be compelled, under any circum-
stances, to break the seal, or to give testi-
mony as to the contents of the letter. 1t
would be novel employment for the
learned Judge, that Of breaking letters
open to search for testimony. No we'll
advised lawyer would care about making
the experiment; and we are really quite
at loss to imagine in what manner the
contents of the letter can be reached, af-
ter the letter itself is produced. If the
letter should be unclaimed, and returned
to the dead-letter office, then for the first
time it will come into the hands of pub
lie officer authorized to open it; and then
for the first time the question will arise,
whether or not such letter can be reached
in the hands of the Postmaster General
This is an interesting and novel question.
As 70 the question of the violation Of
sealed letter IN the post office, if it were
not distinctly settled by statute, it has
been settled by the opinion of every free
people who ever enjoyed the benefits of a
post-ofice establishment.

The southern mail having failed last night to
connect at Petersburg, we have no news to report
in addition what we have already given, in rela-
ton to Alabama or Eastern Tennessee. The news
from those States appears to come in with exceed
ing slowness.
The London Quarterly has softened much of the
asperty which once characterized all it's comments
on American affairs. The article on the second
visit Of Sir Charles Lye is conceived in liberal
and concilatory temper The travellers honest,
impartial, and friendly reports have operated a
miracle of conversion. The Quarterly speaks thus:

ent at least, seems to depend the cause of order,
civilization, and religion"
