so long MS a soil ahj"cllv poor may be made by
means Of guan0. 10 produce a crnr which will pay

we think there need be no lamentations over its
want OF durability. When piece OF land once
well set in cover, it must, we have already said,

to make it the foundation of durable improve
ment.
There can be no doubt that some vegetable pro-
ductiOns may be so forced or stimulated by Guano.

Mr.. VIM. II. Grant, a sklcul gardener OF this
vicinity, informs that he induced, after
the first appearance of guano in this country, 10
make trial of it upon some very valuable ros"
bushes. The effect was soon manifest, the bushes
grew enormously, and were covered with flowers

judgement, Mr.. G. persuaded try 1t

The growth which would have taken ydars to COM

season, and the vitality of the plant destroyed
by the unnatural stimulus, il APP
piled second time. Even those which did not
receive a second dose, never fully recovered.
Most of them turned yellow, and gradually dwin-
died away.
We often see accounts Of the successful a2pl-
cation of guano TO shrubs and fruit trees, and in
minute quantities II might possibly be 4sed to adj
vantage; but we should certainly be afraid to
tamper with powerful an agent, " here valuable
trees were concerned. In The case Of annual
plants, here there can be no reaction the same
danger cannot exist. With regard to such, when
the value of the plant will warrant 1t, we believe
guanO TO be the best Of all manures. Its extreme
concentration and lis conSC quent extreme pOrta-
bity, make il cheaper in the end, we believe, than
any fertilizer that has to be purchased Sill, we
would by mesns be understood as recommend.

We would have the farmer make manure IN every
way, and from every thing, that can possibly be
made available. We would have experiments
made too with every sort of chemical compound
and we think there is no reason to despair of
eventually discovering an artificial fertilizer, even
superior to guano, which may be made in any
quantity, and al much less cost.

CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, }
 Decen1ber 22 1854 {

This morning was on working party in the trenches from A. M. till P. M., and to. morrow am on picket again, and so on. Now, what manner of man, think you, can stand this? To-day we went, at o'clock in the morning to break fresh ground for battery, and we were kept there until in the after noon, while about POO guns ranged over us; and when we were returning, body of rifemen opened fire, and peppered us we'll. However, only two men were hurt; but the wonder was that any of us escaped. This was piece of work that ought only to have been attempted at night, but we have commanding officer over all our movements here who leads us into more danger than any one but a madman would, and all fornothing. Besides which, who ever heard of making battery so close to the enemy, as Ishave described, without first making all ap- proach? r......... .... -r~~vr
 Yet so it was, and a similar system seems to pervade everything. As for Sebastopol. have nothing to say aboutit but that t is as safely
