A Texan. CoIonel's Story.
No, my friend,' said the Colonel

No, my friend, said the Colonel,
to his companion. .No, it is entirely
impossible for one ifursed, as you

how it was with me, and 1 have seen

some havel You see was out there
in Rusk county-had a little cabin
in the woods away from town some
dozen miles. l had hundred COWS,
twenty mar es, seventeen FLIES, wife
and three children-but not a dollar

for COW stealing, at court in town next
day, for which l was to get two bush

had well nigh all worn out, SO |
snapped them with Bedi Indian for
suit of deer skin. Did you ever
see a real spitof deer skin, stranger?'
No, sir said the grave man; I

tassels round the calves and skirts.
Well, rode out Of the lot Of tim

to the prairie that stretched the rest
Of the way to town; as the sun got

Management Of Soil.

A soil would never get exhausted
if managed with skill, but would
continue to improve in depth aud
fertility in proportion to the indus.
try bestowed upon it The food Of
plants, it is true, may be exhausted
from the soil by a repetition OF crop
ping with any other family of plants,
if we neglect the application Of such
fertilizers as may have been taken
from the soil by that family; but no
part Of the growing season is requir
ed for the spll to rest or be faIlow il
juiiciously managed by a successive
varying OF the crops or by supply
ing TO them such food as mar be a
compensation for what has been ia
ken off by the previous crop. The
first object TO be obtained for secur-
ing a certain and profitable return
of produce from the soil must be
the rough drainage; the next object
is, breaking into the subsoil to the
desired depth-not without first
considering whether it is proper
and profitable TO shift or turn up
the subsoll at once to the influence
of the atmospheric, or whether il
be best to break into ii well first,
by shifting the surface soil and al
lowing file subsoil to remain and
receive, first, the, beneficial inlli'
ence OF the atmosphere, and, then.
at the Tenching, a portion OF the
subsoil may be safely stirred up and
mixed with the surface soil; thi:
practice, continued Tor every sue
ceeding crop, will fstablIsha healthy
lertilizing surface soil to any desire(
depth.
If repeated STRINGS OF the sur
lace are adopted, according to tht
nature of the soil and weather, eve
ry grow ing crop will continue ii
healthy luxuriance, without eVel
suffering by receiving injury from
TOO much moisture, drought, or frost
In addition, by constantly scarify
ing, hoeing, and Gorking the surface
SOIL not only obnoxious insects am
tlieir larvae are expelled, but weed
would never make their appear
ance, much less have a chance o
committing their accustomed rob
berry Of the soil and crops. Beside
by such repeated stirring, the sol
is always prepared, sweet an,
healthy, for succeeding crops-n
mean consideration, either, wher
we observe the loss of time an,
produce occurring TO such ruin
Gus extent in some localities, by a
lowing weeds to rob and choke tn
growing crops, and to she'd thei
seeds, productive OF a progeny sim
iiarly injurious to the crops next i
rotation.
The application ofmanure IS mos
essential, and may be applied mos
-beneiicially when the soil is estab
listed in healthy condition an
maintained by a constant attention
70 surface stirring. Yet the appli
cation of manure is a Secondar
consideration, for, though it may b

The PrOmetheua.

In ,o-day's report of the House proceedings
will be found the substance Of Mr.. WEBsTlR's
instructions to Mr. LAWRENCE on the Prone
iheus dispute, together with copies of final
notes from Earl GRANVILLE and Mr.. Law
RENEE.
The correspondence is highly honorable to
all parties. 1t vindicates the dignity and
privileges Of this country with a prompt
ness and force which cannot fail 10 be ap-
preciated as another token Of service rem
dered by the present Administration; and
in that respect repels the latest attacks Of
lactous politicians. To England it is equally
creditable. 1t exhibits her government in an
attitude worthy of her position, dsferring judg-
ment only TO receive the statements Of her Off
GERS, regulating the action of the captain of the
Express" so soon as it is properly understood
and rendering to the United States an apology
conceived in the most liberal spirit, and which
will be regarded on this side Of the Atlantic as
an ample atonement for the injury experienced.
The terms in which Earl GRArvILLE's note is
couched indicate desire to preserve the most
friendly relationship between the two coun-
tries, and are happy prelude to the recon-
mencement of negotiations for the settlement
of diplomatic difficulties growing out Of the
Mosquito and Central American affairs.

British Government the intention Of making
extensive preparations to meet such an event.
The Pacific arrived yesterday, with tour
days. later dates, and we learn by telegraph
that the information she brings reveals the rapid
growth Of anxiety on this subject in England
and the Fastening Of defensive arrangements.
1t is stated that twenty five thousand troops had
been ordered into London, and that the prInci-
pal ships Of war had been recalled from the
Tagus station. We refer to our telegraphc
