INDIAN CoRN.-The value of this cereal to
the country has never bcen appreciated. Re-
cent investigations and comparison show con-
clusively that it is of more value than any
other agricultural production, not excepting
cotton even, about which so much has been
said. The culture of corn has wonderfully
increased the las. few years; l.s ratio OF In
crease being far greater than any other pro-
duct. From 1889 TO 1S49, as per census Ie-
turns. the increase was ffty-eight per cent.
Wool is the next highest, its increase being
fifty per cent; cotton, twenty -four; oats twen-
ty; and wheat sixteen. This is remarka-
bic result. The cotton crop has not increased
half so rapidly as the corn crop, and tn claim
Of the title Of "king," is only in its influence
upon the commercial interests of the country.
The cotton crop of 1851 was 927, 100000 Of
pounds, valued at S1l2, 100000, while the
corn crop of 1850 was 592, 100000 of BUSH
els, which at the lowest possible price at
which it can be estimated, is of far greater
value than the cotton crop.

SAYS that he is satisfied that the lead, with
the sounding apparatus, has frequently bur-
ried itself ten or fifteen feet deep in this soft
material, and he douts not that the cable will
likewise sink and imbed itself in similar
manner. The greatest depth attained has
been two thousand and seventy fathoms,
(about two and third miles;) but perhaps the
most remarkable, and at the same time the
most satisfactory result is the perfect coDfir-
nation which these soundings give of

no obstacle in the way of this great undertak-

absolutely fewer engineering difficulties thar

from the nature Of the b,ttom) on which the
