For the Standard.

RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. 7th 1854.
Mr. EDIToR I have Just read the reply of Prof
Hedrck to nv letter of the 18th of January published
in the Standard, and must claim the use of your
columns and the attention of your readers again.
But before entering upon the further discussion of
this subject, wish to state that my object in attack
ing these two Analyses made by Prof H., was not
"personal ambition charged upon me by
the Editors of that little by nine paper, called
the "Hillsborough Recorder, and call up in proof
of my statement the history of the past two years of
my life, during which time have been battling al
most singe-handed in defence of an improved system
of Agriculture in our State My attention first
called to these two Analyses by farmer after
their publication who though quite an intelligent
man, told me that he could not any practical in
formation to be derived from them. Since that time
have been frequently called upon by those interest
ed in the subject to point out to them the practical
benefits to be derived from these Anal Uses made by
Prof Hedrick. Occupying as do, the position of
teacher in agricultural science it certainly did not
become me to remain silent when was we'll convinced
in my mind that an error had been committed
in making the two Analyses of soil and marl-though
it done by Professor in University. 1t is
true that l well aware that by it would be
considered sacrilege On my part to presume to say
that the Professor of Agricultural Chemistry IN the
University of North Carolina had made bunder in
the beginning, and not prepared to discharge
the duties assigned him. But what could do, when
farmers were continually lnterrogating upon the
subject and saying that they could not for their
lives of what avail these Analyses could be to the
farmer in the form in which they were laid before
the public? This course was, as l thought, plainly
marked out, and pursued it; and here wish to
say that it was not my intention to reflect upon the
private character of Prof Hedrick in the least, and
particular vas in carrying out this determination
that submitted my letter to personal friend before
its publication, (whose position clearly entities him
to judge,) and he replied that he nothing in it
the least offensive personally; to use his Ian
guage, it open and frank, and showed that was
for calling things by their right names.
But Sir hoping that your readers will pardon this
unavoidable depression, I will proceed to exami-
nation of Prof Hedrick's reply. He says that as
sumed that he took only hundred grains of soil,
and therefore argued that he did not take enough.
This assumption, he says, gratuitous on my
part and that the Quantity taken in every instance
sufficient for the correct determination of the
ingredients sought. Now, in order that the public
may see whether or not assumed more than had
assumed under similar circumstances it becomes i'm
portant to republish the Analysis alluded to.

PERSIA AND ENGLAND.

In announcing the declaration of war by the Shah o
Persia against the Turkish Sultan, copied from The
London Times statement that Persia has fallen en-
trey under Russian control" but since eur Lon
don contemporary fails TO explain how that country has
become estranged from the influence Of Great Britain
we will supply the deficiency. 1t includes some sir
gular historical facts.
In 1911, England bound herself by the treaty of Te-
heran, negotiated with Persia by Sir Hartford Jones
Bridges to maintain Persia on her then footing of in
dependence, against Russia and all other powers
Persia On her side stipulated that she would not enter
into any relations with European nations or with any
power whatever to the detiment or prejudice of the
Brtish Indian Empire The stipulatOns Of that trea-
~ were faithfully kept by Persia England violated
them at first in lS26 when she allowed Russia to ex
tend her territory to the frontier Of the Araxes And
Lord Palmerston, from 1530-l94l, did all in his
rover 10 supplant the British influence in the Persian
councils by Russian influence, we proceed to show
At the time when the noble lord came into Office,
tie Russians detested in Persia that they were
scarcely able to find footing for their COnsuls OF
agents in any part of tie kingdom. In Hamadan, for
instance permission to reside secured to them only
upon the application and circumstances of the British
Envoy. So complete was the British ascendancy in
Persia at that time complete the dstrust AMI gus
pcion of Russian designs. In 1881 the menaees of
Lord Pamerston prevented Persia from succouring
the insurrscticn in Poland, disguised the mind of
Abbas Mira the Crown Prince, whose march to the
Russian frontier he had intercepted and thus disposed
him and his house to look less unayorably towards
their former enemy, Russia, than towards Great Brit
ain, their unaithfal ally Os the death OF the Crown
Prince, Russia, with the aid of Palmersten SCI aside
tie rext heir to the of Persia who, according
to the usage OF that country was the eldest surviving
son Of the regnng Shah and replaced him by the son
of Abtas Mira the Governor Of Azerbsn, province
bordering On the Russian territory this Prince having
already agreed to exchange the English for the Rus
sian alliance. This transaction deeply compromised
the independence Of Persia and had the effect of Civ
ing to the Car direct voice in the alteration and
new arrangement Of the succession to the Persian
monarchy Aided by British forces the Russian NOM
