management OF foreign relations, have resorted the

insult to the dignity and majesty OF the American people
contained in the consrauasey speech Of the minister Of
the Emperor Of Russia, the huisber OF Hungary on the
Inauguration Of Gsneml Taylor We consider that Mr.
Clayton diono~sd the country and outraged the cause

yand some time since. to the effect that they could
manufacture iron in Allegheny at SIS per ton, which, al
that price, would yield them a fair profit. We have
seen similar estimate Of the cost Of manufacturing pig
iron from other persons, but arriving at the result
namely that the iron be manufactured without loss
at s1s per ton We have no-doubt of it And when we
consider the greater advantages which have in this
country Of cheaper food cheaper fuel cheaper rents and
cheap transportation, we have no doubt country

known TO be fertile without manures, may
contain no more than Eve hundred.h part
Of lime for then. though the proportion Of
lime is inconsiderab'e, yet we learn by
calculation that an acre Of soil, six inches
in depth, will contain about ton and a
half of lime undoubtedly more than suf.
ficient for the supply of rotations Of crops
for a quarter of century.
These fertile soils, however, which con.
tain such small and even some what larger
proportions OF lime, may doubtless be made
TO yield larger and surer crop, by its ad.
dlllon in considerable quantities. The et'
fects of lime on such soils are with proper
management, altogether beneficial noiwlh-
standing that they then require, besides the
expense Of lining, more costly system
of manuring. The increased production
that follows the lining tends TO exhaust
the soil Gifts necessary ingredients, and 10
destroy its fertile properties, so that, while
lime is continued to be supplied, instead OF
supplying the place Of other manures, II
becomes necessary to be more liberal 10
their application. The farmer who in
creases his crop, withou, manures, will rem
der soil barren. All this extra labor and
expense, however will be amply repaid by
the gain in produc ion for if there is any
profit in raising a light or medium crop
on land, this profit rapidly swels, as The
same land is made TO yield heavier pro-
ducts. II would no, be advisable tina, time

these matters, such n soil as is referred TO
may be lined with great advantage.
