B- Mr. Aubry, the great Rocky Mountain trav-
eler, made a "Trip with party from Santa Fe to
California, the past winter, with flock Of 5000
Sheep In a letter from hia dated ''Colorado of the
West, Feb. 10TH" he expresses great confidence
that his animals will be able to perform the remain.
der Of the journey without inconvenience, and states
that the prospects Of his adventure are very good
He writes: "We travelled long and very bad road,
and crossed several jornadas deserts Of one hun
dred miles in length, without water, aud of course
suffered much. 1t is not probable we shall retain
any pleasant recoIections of this lrip and still we
had good luck for we have only lost one Of the flock
since we lett the Del Norie. We found, in a noun
tain near the ella, the bones of eight ten persons,
who were no doubt murdered by Inc Indians. Our
large party induced them to treat Us in friendly

ROMANCE AND REALITY.-An American
in Paris says he could get round ''Uncle Tom''
after fashion by saying it was a romance; but
then the national lntelligencer and other papers
come laden with advertisements of the sale of
slaves, &c. That is substantial 1t is reality.-
There is no dodgingit.
The American in Paris writes as follows:-
81 have already made my complaint of the
troubles brought on Americans here by that lin
cendlary' book of Mrs. Stowe's, especially of the
difficulty we have in making the French under
stand our institutions But there was one partial
ly satisfactory way Of answering their questions,
by saving that Uncle TOMS Cabin was romance.
And this would have served the purpose pretty
well, and spared our blushes for the model Repub-
lie, If the shareholders themselves would only
Withhold their testimony to the truth of what we
were willing 10 let pass as fiction. But they are
worse than Mrs. Stowe herself, and their writings
are getting TO be quoted here quite extensively
The Monteur of to-day, and another widely cir
culated journal that lies on my table, both contain
extracts from those extremely ncendiary periodi
Gals, the National Integencer, Of Feb. il, and
the New Orleans Plcayune, ofFeb II. The first
gives an auclloneers advertisement of the sale of
"a negro boy of Is years, negro girl aged l6,
three horses, and saddles, wheelbafrows, I" &C.
Then follows an account of the sale, which reads
very much like the description in the dramatic
fuellletons here, Of a famous scene in the Case
de l,Oncle Tom,' as played at the Ambigu Conf
que. The second extract is the advertisement of
'our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. NJ. C Golf. ,
who presents his respects TO the inhabitants of
Ouacheta and the neighboring parishes, and in
forms them that he keeps fine pack of dogs train
ed TO catch negroes, &c.

JACKSON GUARDS. We briefly noticed, yester-
day, the grand ball given by this military company,
in Horticultural Hall, on Tuesday evening. We
think it due TO the genllenany officers and members
OF the corps to give more detailed account of the
proceedings which took place on that festive occa.
sion. There is, without doubt, strong prejudice
existing in the public mind IN favor of the idea that
lrlshmen cannot assemble together in Ia &c numbers
and then separate without disturbance. The Jack.
son Guards and their friends, gave practical reu.
tation oil ins idea, on Tuesday night. About two
hundred ladies' and gentlemen, chiefly natives Of
ireland, were convened in Horticultural Hall. and.
although lheD was much W.T. and laughter. ,hs,s
was not the least tendency to discord. The whole
proceedings were characterized by good huinor, ur.
banity, order, and gentemanIy conduct. The com.
pany looked very gay from the blending Of military
costumes with the bright and varigated robes Of the
ladies. The dancing spirited and was varied
by cotiliOns, contra dances, jgs, and reels.
About IL o'clock p. NJ, the company adjourned to
the ante.room, where the tables we're laid for col.
IatioB. Captain O'Dlisco presided. He was sup.
ported by J. II. Matthews, Esq, II. ID. Stone, Esq.

evening; also by Capt. Mccarthy, Of Boston, and
other geutemenfrom abroad whose names we did not

Of the evening, in their order, and they were all re-

quence. Lieut.. Murphy, Of the jackson Guards,
sung Moore's celebrated Irish melodies, "The Min.

HOW to Make one Farm Equal to Thre

, How to Make one Farm Equal to Three.
CT. Stewart, ESQ.,, in a recent Address before
the Ohio Agricultural Society thus speaks on this
subject:
MANY farmers who are destroying the produc-
tiyeuess of their farms by shallow-work, as they
find that their crops are diminishing, think only OF
extending their area by adding acres of surface.
as fthey supposed that their title deeds only gave
them right to six inches deep Of earth. lfihey
will take those deeds, study their meaning, and
applv the lesson 10 their fields, they will soon
realize in three-fold crops the fact that the law
has given them three farms where they supposed
thew had but one-in other words, that the sub
soil brought up and combined with the top-soil
and enriched with the atmospheric influences,
and those Others elements which agricultural
science will teach them 10 apply TO their ground,
will increase three fod the meaures OF its produc
tiyeness. To show TO what extent the fertility of
the soil can be increased, refer TO a statement
in the last Patent Ofhce Report. In the year
1850, there were nine competitors for the premi.
um corn crop of Kentucky, each of whom Guilt
waited 10 acres. Their average crop was about
I22 bushels per acre. At that time the average
crop of wheat per acre in the harvests of Great
Britain, on soil cultivated for centuries, Is about
double that produced on the virgin soil OF Ohio.
Why is this? Simply because British farmers are
educated men, and apply work wisely. They
pay back to the earth what they borrow; they en-
deavor by every means in their power, to enrich
their ground, and in return it enriches Them If
our farmers, instead of laboring TO double their
acres would endeavor to double their crops, they
would find 1t vast saving of time and toll, and
an increase of profits.
Many of them never think ofdiggng ten inches
into the soil, unless they have dreamed about
crock of gold hid in the earth; but if they would
set about the work of digging in earnest, every
man would find his crock Of gold, without the aid
ofdreams and divnation.
We have great advantage over the British
farmers in the fact that our farmers nearly all hold
the lands which they cultivate, in fee simple,
while in England they are chiefly tenants, hiring
the lands of the nobility, paying enormous rents
TO the proprietors besides heavy taxes to the gov
eminent. Taxes here are comparatively light,
and our farmers their own landlords. Hence
they have been able to pay threefold wages for
labor to those paid in Europe, pay the costs of
transportation, and vet undersell the British far
mers in their own markets.

APRIL WoRK.-SmaH Frtats.-Pant out cut
tugs OF grape gooseberrv, currants, &C., as early
practicable, and if they have been kept in moist
place during the winter, and plump and we'll con-
diiioned, they will make roots. Those of the
gooseberry and curan should have all the ewes re-
moved, except three or four at the top, as by this
means they will produce on single stalks, and throw
up no suckers. Grape cuttings should be planted
two eyes out, and all cuttings should be partially
shaded, or they viii not take root with certainty
This is particularly true with the grape.
Currants, gooseberres, and grapes, two years from
the cuttings, should now be transplanted in place and
in putting them out, be only to dig the holes
as large you intend the TO expand but also
to depth of at least two feet, filling up the space
previously occupied by the subsoil with good earth.
Manure freely, but not with fermentng manure; for
small fruits it should either be well disIntegrated
with muck or charcoal dust, or of quality not liza.
BILE to heat The gooseberry is a rank feeder, as
well as the raspberry, and capable ofappropriapg
large amounts of animal manures to its use.

Grape Vmes.-Loosen the earth about their roots
and give them manures. Swamp muck which has

and during the summer rest little potash water
