The yGermana have recently taken

The SGermuns have recently taken
particular fancy to raising potatoes. The
following is their method of producing the
greatest good for the greatest number:
"The potato is plnnted whole, without
any preparation, only allowing little more
space than usual When the plants have
attained the height Of the hand, they are
also cleaned and hoed as usual. When,
however, the time for dfswngup the enrth
around them has arrived, the following
process Is adopted instead :-"The green
stalks are divided and laid down by the
hand on tho fiat soil in the form Of the
spokcs of wheel and covered with the
neighboring earth-the operation being
readily performed by placing the foot on
the plant. Some weeks later the leaves
begin to push through the soil, when they
are again laid down and covered with four
inches of earth. This is all the labor re-
qured, and occupies about the same time
as the ordinary hoeing-up process, but it
produces six times more fruit. The sub.
terranean stalks are covered with potatoes
in the form of wreath or chaplet.'"

EVIL INFLUENCES. The great amount of
insanity in the Agricultural portion Of one
of the States, has been ascribed, in part to
the want of public amusement We have
already offered few remarks upon the
physical depression produced by fanac cticism,
This cause is directly connected with two
others assigned by medical writers, ."repul-
sive and monotonous employment" and
'swant Of public amusements !" for fanacti-
cism condemns and suppresses public a
musements & renders any employment re-
pulsive and monotonous.
Fanaticism condemns dancing. Yet no
amusement, within proper limits, physical
and moral, is more salutary tobodyand mind
Ii condemns theatrical exhibitions. Yet the
mischief in these is in their abuse, and in
accompaniments not necessarily connected
With them. They might be offered in towns
and villages, free from all the corruptions
SO necessarily connected with themin cities.
The athletic games SO carefully maintained
among the ancients, and still preserved in
many parts Of Europe, are much needed D.
mong the adult population Of our towns and
villages. They are very unwisely confined
TO boys and even discouraged among them
Musical and debating societies ought to ex-
list in every country town, and to include
all who have the least talent for music, and
all who can, as well as who cannot speak.
Debating societies are advantageous to
hearers, as well as to takers. Every cler-
gyman ought to giyea scientific lecture;to his
congregation, at least once in month, on a
Sunday, in the form Of a sermon, accompa-
MED with the usual exercises. As God made
the physical world, and made knowledge of
II part of moral duty, no clergyman could
say that this would interfere with the ap-
propriaie duties ofthe Sabbath. Every phy-
sician in country town should be required
to give periodical lecture upon science, TO-
the pc ople Of such town and should receive
payment for it from its treasury. And not
only should public Libraries be established in
each town, but each schoolmaster should
be required to give monthly lecture to
the people ofhis district, on some literary
subject.
TO the enlightened, no employment is
more attractive than agriculture. Instead
Of being Tepulsive and mouotonous,, it az
iofds, 10 cultivated minds,a most fascinating
variety. Its repulsive features are found only
IN igDomnce its pursuers; and hence so
many leave it for professional, mercantile
and mechanical life. Science, !iterature and
RATIONAL public emusements would render
agriculture hemos. attractive Of all employ
nents.

that landed at Cardenas are now at New Or

to be mysterious, and the third division in
New York and its vicinity, wBe have not
yet sailed, but who are ready for actien.--
The three officers who arrived there from
New Orleans, have joined two who were
here all the time, keeping up the organisa-
tion, and communicating with the expedi-
tionists at a distance. These five gentle
men are holding their secret meetings night
after night, and are well watched by govern
ment spies but they in their turn know
the spies & watch them as well, A craft mot
long since built, has been chartered to carry
provisions, arnas and men outside Sandy
