CeaL-Thc Editor Of the Whining

Immediately ON his return we make
the following extract concerning coal
"Coal is the great back bone Of Phila-
delphia shipping business, and every
Cape Fear man who passes Through
should visit the depot Of the Reading
Railroad at Richmond, at the upper
end Of the city. This mining business
has enabled Pennsylvania to keep pace
with, and gain upon, New York in the
matter Of population. as shown BY the
new apportionment which gives Penn
sylyaaia am additional member, while
New York loses one. If one-fosrth
the advantages can be reaped from the
coal business by North Carolina, and

THANATOPSIS.

To him who, in the love of nature, holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language. For his gayer hours
She has voice of gladness, and smile
And eloquence of beauty; and she glides
Into his darker musings with a mild
And gentle sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness ere he is aware.
The hills,
Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun; the wales,
Stretching in pensive quieness between;
The venerable woods; rivers that move
In majesty; and the complaining brooks,
That make the meadow green; and, poured round
Old oceans gray and melancholy waste,-
Are but the solemn decorations all
OF the great tomb of man. The golden sum-
The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,
Are shining on the sad abodes of death,
Through the still lapse of ages All that tread
The globe are but a handful to the tribes
Shat slumber in its bosom.-BRYANT.

The Holy Land.

The possession of the Holy Places, or sites in
and about Jerusalem, designated by tradition as
the scenes of the principal events in the drama
of the crucifxion has for ages been the SUBJECT
of an angry and most unchristian dispute be-
tween the sects of christians who have in the
courseof time established themselvesin that into
resting portion of the Ottoman dominions. This
dispute has repeatedly given occasion to grave and
and urgent diplomatic negotiations between the
ministers of the Porte and the representatives of
the foreign Powers, to whom belongs or who
have assumed the protection of the various sects
litgant A word or two upon this subject, con-
sidering the character Of the dispute and the re-
ligious interest which attaches all over chrsten-
dom to the Holy Land, and particularly to Jeru-
salem, will, think, be acceptable to most Of your
readers. The sects of Christians, leaders in these
broils, and most important by their numbers,
wealth, and influences are the Latins, or Roman
2Catholics the Greeks, or members of the Greek
church and the Armenians, branch of the
latter, and who side with them in their disputes
with the Latins The members Of the Latin
Church found here are chiefly Franciscan monks
established in the Holy Land by Pope Alexander
". about the middle of the thirteenth century
though it was not till near a century afterwards
in 1912, that they commenced the performance
of Divine service in the church of the Holy Sc,
pulchre. France has possessed for hundreds o
years the undsputed protectorate Ct Ct Tic Tic natns

stretch their hands when they have wrongs to be

Fixed facts i'm Agriculture.

l. All lands on Which clover or the grasses,
are grown, must either have lime in them, natu-
rally, or that mineral must be artiticially sup
piled. 1t matters but liitlc whether it be sup
plied in the form Of stone-lime, oyster-limc, or
mari.
,. All permanent improvement Of lands must
look to lime as its basis.
3. Lands which have been long in culture, will
bebenelited by applications Of phosphate Of lime,
and it is unimportant whether the deficiency be
supplied in the form of bone-dust, guano, native
phosphate of lime, composts Of fish, ashes, orin
that of oyster shell limc-or marl-if the land
need lining, also.
f. No lands can be preserved in 4 high state
of fertility, unless clover and the grasses, are cul
tivatcd in the course CT rotation.
5. Mould is indispensable in every soil-and
a healthy supply can alone be preserved through
the cultivation of clover, and the grasses, the
turning in of green crops, or by the application
of composts rich in the elements Of mould.
6. All highly concentrated animal manures
are incrcascdin value, and their benefits prolonged,
by admixture with plaster, salt or pulserlzed
charcoal.
7. Deep plowing greatly improves the produc-
tive powers of every variety Of soil that is not
wet.
s. Sub soiling sound land. that is, land that
is not wet is eminently conducive to increased
production.
0. All wet land should be drained.
10. All grain crops should be harvested before
the grain is thoroughly ripe.
II. Clover, us well as the grasses, intended Tor
hay, should be moved when in bloom.
IL. Sandy lands can be most cttectually I'M
proved by clay. When such lands require IL
ming, or marIing the lime or marl is most ben
eficial!y applied, when made into compost with
clay. In shaking lime, salt brine is better than
water.
13. The chopping, or grinding Of grain, to be
fed 70 stock, operates us q saving of at least twen-
ty-tivc cent. -,
IA. Draining of wet lands anil 'ma'shes, adds
to their value, by making them produce more,
and better crops-by producing them carlicr--
and improving the health of neighborhoods.
IL To manure, or lime wet lands, is to throw
manure, lime and labor away.
1G. Shallow plowing operates to lmpoverSl'
the soil, while it decreases production.
II. BY stabling and shedding stock through
the winter, saving Of one-fonrth of the food
may be efected-that is, one-fourth less will
answer than when such stock may be exposed
TO the nclemencics Of the weather.
IS. A bushel of plaster, per acre, sown broad
cast over, will add one hundred per cent. to its
produce. 49,, , !,

keep up the integrity of the soils, by supply
inc most, if not all Of the organic substance.
Camden journal. [volume] (Camden, South-Carolina) 1852-1852, 1852-09-10

20. Thorough preparation of land, is absolute
" necessary to the successful and luxurious
growth of crops.
81. Abundant crops cannot be grown for
succession Of years, unless care be taken to pro-
vide, and apply, an equivalent for the substances
carried off the land in the products grown there
on.
%. To preserve meadows in their productive
ness. it is necessary to harrow them every second
autumn, apply top dressing, and roll them up.
%. All stiff clays are benefited by fall and
winter plowings; but should never be plowed
while they are wet If, at such plowings, the
furrow be materially deepened, lime, mari or
ashes, should be applied.
"a. Young stock should be moderately fed
with grain, in winter, and receive generous sup
plies Of long provender it being essential to keep
them in fair condition, in order that the forma-
tion of muscle, bones, &c. may be encouraged
and continuously y carried on.
25. Mich cows, IN winter, should be kept in
dry, moderately warm, but we'll ventilated quar-
tiers. regularly fed and watered three tunes
day, salted twice or thrice week, have clean beds
be curried daily, and in addition to their long
provender, should receive succulent food, morn
ing and evening.
26. Full compliments Of tools, and implements
of husbandry, are intimately connected with the
success of the husbandman.
27. Capital is not only necessary to agricultu-
ralsuccesses, but can be proftably used in farm
ing, as in any other occupation.
2S. Punctuaty in engagements, is as neces-
sary to an agriculturist, as it is to merchant.
20. Every husbandman should carefully read
and digest matters connected with his business;
his success being as dependant upon a full knowl-
edge, of its principles and details, as is that Of
the lawyer, or physician, with knowledge Of
the science of law or physic.
80. Wheat Rye, Oats, and Barley, should
never follow each other in course Of rotation
there should always be and intervening hoe-crop
between them.
81. Weeds should never be permitted to ma
ture their seed on farm, but be pulled up, or
cut down as often as they show themselves such
being the only effectual method of eradicating
them. 10 ensure this result, the ground should
be planted in corn, and that kept clean.
80. Time and labor, devoted to the collection
of materials to be converted into manure, are
the most fruitful sources of profit in the whole
range of farm economy.
33. The orchard, to be productive Of good fair.
fruit, require to be fed, as much as does field
of grain. The soil of each requires that the,
substances distracted by the crops shall be re-
stored. The soil should be kept clean and open
to the meliorating influences of the sun, the dews,
the rain, and the air-the bark Of the trees should
be kept in a healthful condition, by scraping,
when necessary, and by alkaline washes.

How TO Improve a Bad Start.

MEssRs EDToRs You may perchance think
it time for me to drop few lines No apology
need be offered if You can believe that ancient
customs occasionally become modcrr.--In days
of old, mems names seem to have been given in
view of their peculiar pursuits or professions or
their parents waited until they developed char
acter and then gave the name 20 correspond.
Now whether real or assumed, my name seems
to apply with equal correctness. Yes, truly, in
the management of a small farm, on a still small
Ter scale, am late Beginner. But old folks
used to say ''it is bad wind that blows nobo-
any good" so in my case, though am "in ev-
cry sense of the word" late beginner, yet it is
not impossible but that some one else maybe in
similar condition, if SO, the plan which have
attempted may be of use to him in strrit.-
Well, sirs, l found myself, in the second week of
April, anI the plow had not been moved to make
corn. You think-and your thinking readers
will join YOU in thinking, "ycs boss you were
late beginner that time"
It was too late to break up stubble land en-
tire, I determined, ergo, to lay off as ifgoing
to plant, and on the upper side of those furrows
l ran three or four Others. 1t lay in this condi-
ton until was ready to plant; | then run anoth
er furrow on the lower side of the Others, and
then ran with a suitable plow, so as to fill the
last named, and dropped my corn in this and
covered with another on the upper side. Thus
You perceive had some seven or eight furrows
within the space of thirty inches, the land thor
oughly pulverizcd about the corn.
| have good stand, and considering the time,
&c. of planting, the best looking crop ever had.
If it should continue to do we'll, YOU may expect
to hear from me again.
Yours, from Big Durham
LATE BEGINNER.
P. S.-Snce scribbling the sabove, | have
been looking over the Herald" and am pleased
to find that you are doing well. Go on--take
due care to "let well enough alone" The days
have come, when by far too many Of our young
men may be found running after the novel nven-
tions of the day, spending the hard-earncd dol
lars of their humble ancestors for nought. Yes,
sir, if YOU will believe ''my racket" this is one
prime reason why YOU and your brethren have so
much just ground of complaining that young
men, labouring men, or men that ought to labor,
will not read even those essays which are writ
ten for their special benefit. There are too many
shovel arrivals pulled to the skies by the editors
and these Ginning in with growing DISPOSE

GERR1Tr SMITH on THE CHAPLIN BAII.--Some
of the abolitionsts are learning costly lesson in
the manner of Chaplin's forfeiture Of bail. Mr..
Gerrett Smith, gentleman not very prone to
complain of the costlincss Of maintaining prin-
cple, nevertheless seems to feel in this matter a
very pardonable irritation, as the following letter
shows:
William r. Smith: My Dear Sir: The un-
happy Chaplin affair is again upon us. In addi-
ton to several thousand dollars expended in
agencies, lawyers fees, d., we paid $4,000 to
indemnify Mr. Chaplin's bail in Maryland. We
are now called to pay $4,000 to Indemnity his
bail in Washington,
If the men in Washington who with such
rare kindness and generosity, became Mr.. Chap
Inns bail, are suffered to lose by that kindness
and generosity it will be disgraceful to the abol-
itionists.
Considering that Mr. Chaplin visited Wash
ington contrary to my advice, and that paid
in the Maryland case about $4,000, suffered
much more than my full share of the loss in
that case. The Washington case is now to be
provided for. am willing to lose $4,000 in it;
and hence | have this evening enclosed my draft

greatly needed al this money to expend in
other directions; for the cries Of our wlongcd
humanity come up from numerous directions.
Nevertheless, am con>oled by the reflection that
was better off without this money than they
who got it from me were with it. The robbed
may feel very sore under his losses, but still he
isbetter off than the robbcr With great regard,
your friend, GERRlrr SMITH.
PErERBoRo', June l6, 1852.
Perhaps all parties having such propensities
as those wlicl. brought Mr., Chaplin into trouble
will learn the wisdom of obeying the law of the
land and the rights of what those laws recognise
as property. At any rate, they may feel toera-
bly, certain that bailing kidnappers of slaves will
no longer be popular with the abolitionists.
