SALT as A MANURE.

In Que of his works, Cuthbert w. John.
sou asserts that salt is at present much
used by the Eugllsh Agriculturists in the
formation of compostS, and speaks Of It's
effects as being highly valuable and effica.
cious, especially on sandy soils. Every
farmer is perhaps aware of the fact, that
the depredations of many insects which
usually prey with great avidity upon plants
aud tender vines, are prevented by the ap,
plicaton of salt ,reuk brine, not ex-
ceeding the strength of sea ruter, proves a
remedy for the squash Destroyer one Of
the insidious and persevering, as well as
voraciously destructive enemies with which
the gardener and fluit-grower is called to
contend 1t is also most effcctual pre-.
ventive of ophides, or plant lice, vermin
which prey upon the cabbage and turniT
tribes. In every instance of the appllca-
ton Of brine to these vegetables that has
fallen under our observation, its success
has been complete No injury need be
apprehended from a very liberal applica-
ton, say one quart to plant, if the solu-
ton be of the strength indicated. All the
cabbage tribe are liable to be attacked and
fatally injured by the minute maggo:s,
resembling, very nearly, the maggots In
cheese, and which are doubtless the idrro
of some fly. There is another enemy ,also,
by which they are frequently infested-a
small grub, similar, in many respects, to
those found in corn and potato bills, and
which not unfrequently prove very destruc-
tive. Salt water anplied to the hills will
have 4 tendency to arrest their depreda-
tions, and if the application be repeated
frequently, say once in two or three days,
The water, however, should not be allowed
to come in contact with the foliage,in this
instance, but should be applied to the soil
Immediately around the stalks, but with
out coming in actual contact with them.
To destroy the first named insects, it may
be applied in a state sufficiently dilute to
admit of a perfect ablution of every part
of the foliage but as we said before, care
must be taken not to make it too strong,
or it will destroy the plant. Every cook
knows, or ought to know, that the wash
ing of cabbage, lettuce, spinach, &c., in
salt water before cooking or preparing for
the table, is sure to expel every species OF
insects which so frequently seeks habi-
tatiou or a shelter in these vegetables.

Religious Liberty.

A Enthusiastically assumptive lawyer
in Baltimore, named DAVIS, has published
book, claiming that the Roman Catholics
of Maryland, under Calvert, we're the first
to introduce Religious Freedom in Amer
lea and some thoughtless Protestants
echo his claim! Pa,nam's Mayazine for
April proves, on the contrary, that Roger
Williams, the first Baptist preacher in
America, advocated "soul- liberty" before
Calvert's colony was formed, and in found
ing Rhode Island practiced the principle
fully But the claim for Calvert is futile
in point of fact as we'll as of time. Origi-
nally Protestant, his charter was granted
by Protestant princes, who had partiality
for the man; but the Company comprised
Protes,ants as well as Catholics; the King
was willing the Catholics should enjoy a
share in Colonial speculations, provided
they did not oppress Protestants and as
a matter of course, the Protestants engaged
in the enterprise demanded equal rights,
or they would never have participated. 1t
was then, simply a matter of seif-interest,
by which they were governed, in allowing
no supremacy of either church. In the
history of Maryland, however,it soon hap
pened that the Catholics obtained su-
perior advantages, and certain theological
opinions were prescribed. The whole
truth is: Maryland Was never Catholic,
but a mixed colony, obtaining her original
powers from Protestant sources, and never
enjoyed perfec. religious freedom until af
ter the Revolution whereas, Roger Will
Jams, with company wholly Protestants,
before receiving any charter, allowed per-
feet "soul-liberty" as a RIGHT of every
man. What the true Catholic spirit of
that day was, Canada, Louisiana, Mexico,
ard the other American colonies settled
wholly by Catholics, show What the
real Catholics did when they had the po'o-
er, let the massacres, inqustiOps and other
memorials of Catholicism tell How much

tify !-Catholici.m celebrates" when she
CAN NOT PREVENT; but give her the power

vessels have been engaged in it. The Post
says that those who were induced by plau-
sible statements to allow their vessels to
be engaged in it, upon the frs. represent

Root Culture.

In order to bring about better state of
affairs in farm economy, We sleze the occa-
sion to urge upon every owner of home
stead, to Gn2ertake the culture Of an acre
or tro Of Parsnips, Carrots and 1Iangte
WurtzA
The same amonnt Of labor that will Sc
cure heavy crop of Corn, will enable the
grower to raise from 500 to 500 bushels
of either of these kind of roots to the acre
Believing as we do that the interest Of
the owner of an estate would be promoted
BY the better care of stock-to say nothing
of the claims of humanity, We have, from
year to year, urged the culture of roots as
one of the agents by which the object can
be effected, and now call upon our friends
most earnestly, though deferentlally, to
come up to the good work without delay
Aud with the view we will endeavor to
point out the way in which the roots that
we recommend to be drilled in early this
month may be grown. First, then, We
will begin with
PARsNIPs,
which is admitted to be among the first
roots in value for feeding mich cows, be-
ing the kind that the farmers of the
island of Guernsey feed their arfamed
cows upon
The parsnip delights most in deep,
light sandy loan, although it will grow in
any friable loamy soil, the deeper the soil
the better. The soil in which it may be
grown must be either naturally fertile, or
it must be made so by generous manuring
As when, unobstructed, the parsnip
penetrates the ground to considerable
depth, it would be best to suJ-soil the
ground in which it may be planted; but
if that should be considerd too trouble
some, or to involve too much labor, plow
as deep as strong team can sink your
plow into the ground, harrow it well; then
put on Is two horse cart loads of well rot
ted stable or barh-yard manure, per acre,
and cross plow it in 5 or 6 inches deep.
Your plowing being done, harrow thoroug
ly and roll. Your land will then be in
condition to drill in the seed, which is best
done by drilling machine, which makes
the drill, drops the seed, covers them and
rolls the ground at one and the same opcr-
alton. The drills to be Is or 20 inches
apart.
If you have not drilling machine,
stretch line north and south across the
land, and draw drills of the width named
above, l inch deep, drill in the seed thinly
and cover with rake, compressing the
earth on the seed with the back Of the
rake. We have found bottle convenient
to drill the seed in with.
We prepared the seed for drilling, thus:
We poured hot water over them, and let

FUNNY MIsTAKE-A short time since,
a lady took passage in the cars on the
Cumberland Valley railroad. She put
the ticket in her dress pocket, where she
had several other articles, and seating
herself, become earnestly engaged in con-
versation with friend. The conductor
soon came around for the tickets. When
he came to this lady she drew from her
pocket what she supposed to be the ticket,
and, without looking at it, handed it to
the conductor, and continued talking;
but, after extending it for short time,
and he rot taking it, she looked up, and
discovered that she was offering the con-
ductor fine tooth comb!

Raising us above earth's changes,
Leading us to endless life,
Easing all our cares and sorrcws,
Soothing anguish, ending strife.

Fillmore Rally Mt AIgiers.

The call for mass meeting last night Ct the Fill
more men Of the right bank-above in and below,
Algers-was responded to with the unanmity and
enthusiasm peculiar to that side of the river. The
old stamping ground" of the American meetings
enlivened in the usual style-the platform being
overshadowed by the stars stripes and illuminated
by ambeaux and the transparencics of the noble and
sturdy Algerine Fillmore Rangers The sweethearts,
wives and children, of the masculine multitude,
crowded and embellshed the neighborhood as uaual.
The venerable President of the Agcrs Club, NJ.
Garcia, ST. presided with particularly solid corps Of
Yce-Presidents and Secretaries at his back.
The speakers were Messrs Harry T. Hayes, Gendy
Burke, John NJ Price, George Eustis, Jr, B. J. Sage
and W. j. A. Roberts Each spoke briefly and to the
point, and was enthusiastically chcered. No length
ened argument or denunciation, or culogy, was in
dulgcd in by any one of them, but all brought the
focus of their remarks to bear upon Marl Fillmore
as the man who has been the model President, who
ought to be the President, and who will be the model
President and savior Of this Republic
Upon adjourning, the meeting fell into procession,
and paraded the principal streets of the town, with
enthusiasm that was responded to by the ladies'
all the men worth talking about being in the process
sion-at every turn.
AS we stated some time ago, Algiers is all right

THE CAUSE IN THE lNTERIOR.-We learn from the
Monroe Union that there was discussion at Wins.
boro, Franklin parish, the Goth inst, between Col
Sparks, of Monroe, and Mr.. Guice, of Winnsboro
Col Sparks made very eloquent address in support
of the Union candidates, Fillmore and Donelson
which is said to have had great effect on the audi
ence. He was followed by Mr.. Guice, in Il speech
which was very well for so young man, but discon.
nected and boyish. Col. Sparks encoumgngly an.
swered him and completely wiped him out.
Hon. Henry Gray, Democratic Eector, had pro
missed to attend but wisely kept away, as he could
not cope with such man as Col. Sparks The
Americans of Fmnkin parish are in high spirits.
A very exciting contest came off at Columbia, on
the 18th inst As due notice had been given there
was very large assenhlage on the ground, compris
ing nearly all the voters of Old Caldwell, of both
parties
The debate was opened at an carly hour by T. S
Crawford ESQ, who spoke an hour in support of his
principles and candidates of the American party
He was exceedingly lucid and pointed, and was ire-
pucntly applauded
Gen. M. Boatncr followed on the Democratic side
and did his best to reply to his predecessor in which
he sieually failed He seemed to feel the weakness
Of his cause and was Mampered thereby.
