been directed to this subject by the in the

this important discovery but withheld the secret till

discoveries The following is the extract from the Penn

other cause the explanation of which be found
in the mode of culture reproduction Of the potato
Impressed with this conviction my attention direct

than the discovery of any specific mode of prevention

potato rot is the result of general decay Of the plant
occasioned by its reproduction during too long inter

vitality from the seed the mode Of prevention Of
being the regeneration of the potato by frequent
reproduction from the original germ seed Having
communicated this hypothesis to intimate friend and
practical farmer was surprised to learn that it exactly
correponded with the results Of experiments which
he had made, with view to the production of
variety from the seed. The potatoes thus produced
though but slightly varied found be imbued with
vgor unknown to the parent stock, and entirely

testimony, with view the establishment refutaton

been attended with the most auspicious results.

FROM THE PITTSBURGH GAZETTE OF APRIL I.


WAsHrsoroN's RourE-The correspondence below,
which has been placed in hands for publication is Of
deeply interesting character 1t shows the great and
revered WASHINGTON in light as the friend and
benefactor of his country by promoting internal commu
nication between the seaboard and the Valley of the Mis-
ssspp that great valley which had been the scene OF
his youthful herosm, and in which displayed the
power of his rising genius 1t also shows his active mind
ever resesy work for the benefit of his country and
exhibits his farseeing sagacy in discovering the impor-
tance Of direct and superior of communication be-
tween the East and the West means of strengthening
the bonds of union and of developing the resources
of the rising empire The boldness with which ne un
dertook work then of vast magnitude at the time Of
life when he might have claimed exemption from further
tolls shows that he retired from the Presidency of the
nation to nglorious ease, but that ne lived only TO
bless and benefit his country.
After WASHINGTON had examined the whole country
with the cultivated eye of civil engineerfor he spent
portion of his early life in the practical duties of
veyorhe decided upon the route by the waters of the
Potomac and the Youghiogheny the most practicable
and the best by which connect the East with the West
The same has been admitted by the best
practical civil engineers who have surveyed as the very
best route the Aeghenies and any by
the map that it the shortest and natural At the
point where the waters the Potomac and the waters Of
the Youghogheny head the Allegheny Mountains present
remarkable depressons and assures, which render the
construction of railroad less difficult and less expensive
than at any other point.
The singular fact that this route manfesy favor
abe has been improved exhibits also the remark
able sagacy of WASHINGTON He foresaw the very diff
cutes-the jealouses and conflicting nterests-which
have for many years prevented the favorable
ton of this route These difficulties happily passing
away and ON Gen.Wx. LARMxB, Of Pittsburgh, viii no
doubt devove the high honor Of having finally completed
work conceived and cherished by wAsHrsoroS to the
latest period Of his life.
