THE CULTURE OF THE TuRNIp.

The turnip, taken in all its varieties, is one
Of the most important garden Or field crop.
Of the South. When the summer gradrn
has been burned up with drouth. fall aud
winter crop Of turnips will make amends for
much Of the loss. A turnip to be sweet and
good, should be grown quick. therefore it is
important TO know what varieties mature the
quickest. The early varieties, which are
usually planted in the spring, If planted the
first Of this month will be fit for the table in five
70 six weeks from planting. We would recon-
mend the Early Strap Leaf and Early White
Dutch as the best for early f.ll planting. A
garden culture Of turnips should be in drills.
The urnippaich can hardly be too rirh. spade
or plow the manure in deeply, and sow the
seed very thin in drills. More than half Of
the whole crop Of turnips is lost throughout
the country, BY too thick planting. The
Rntabaga should also be planted now. Il wants
the same culture, but still thinner growing.
We are aware that this is generally consider
cd field crop, and only fit for stock, but
they are in reality more delicate dish for the
table than the common white tirnips, being
more sugary. and afordipg greens until late
in the spring. which ale altogether superior
to collards. The last Of the month, Red Tops
and English Norfolks. with our own domes.
tic seeds. may be sown. On fresh, rich land.
We would recommend the English Norlolks
as producing fne bulbs and immense tops.

PROTECTION AGAINST DR0UTH.
The frequent stirring Of soils between the
rows, is undoubtedly protection, and. in
ordinary cases, sufficient protection against
drouth. The air passes freely through soils
frequently stirred; aud whenever air comes
IN contact with body colder than itself, il
deposits moisture, as i. a tumbler filled with
ice water al the dinner table, or in the par
ticles Of soil at some inches depth. and con
sequen,ly colder than the air above the sur.
face. When the farmer sees his tumbler
sweat, as il j. sometimes expressed, he may
be assured, that 50 il fares with the soil six
or eight inches below a well stirred surface,
provided the soil werc melluwei 10 that ur
greater depth before the crop was put III.
Muchi1g is often a sufficient protection
against drouth. Straw, coarse hay, leaves.
mold from The woods. chips, Or even pile Of
stones, laid around the roots Of newly set
tree, retaris evaporation, and secures
moist condition for the roots. Ii il 20 with
strawberries il the ground is mulched be-
tween the rows. Raspberries. blackberries.
gooseberries, and many other crops may be
partially protected in the same way.
But the great source Of protection in our
country is IN deep ploughing. On a soil Of
any decent consistency. il would be lmpos-
,ible that crop should suffer from the
drouth, il the soil were pulyerzed TO depth
| Of fifteen inches. because the Iowcr portions
/ OF such sDil would retain moisture till long
after the surface should have received new
supplies from the clouds. III our readers
are alarmed al fifteen inches as a depth
which they despair Of reaching. we think
them too easily alarmed. but still we will
meet them on higher ground. A field tho
roughly pulyerized TO depth Of ten inches
will seldom suffer from the dronth. Abun.
dant aud reliable testimonies have been
published, going TO show that fields ploughed
70 depth Of eight or ten inches have eseap.
ed unhurt, when other fields. equally well
cultivated, with The single exception that
they were ploughed but half as deep. have
utterly failed Of giving crops. That deep
plOughing i a sufficient remedy against any
ordinary drouth--any but the very lOnges,
and seterest--is an established truth.

rs at this moment taken off, grew on
Capt. Staunton's plantation, which is very
fine, and which yields about the same pro-
portion Of syrup, or from appearance, more.
As the pot began 10 boil, we put lime in
each boiling, being governed in quantity
somewhat by the report Of Ex-Governor
Hammond, Of South Carolina. My seed
planted nearly half an acre; no pains had
been taken to put the ground in a high state
of cultivation, neither was it worked with
an eye to report for the public, and turning
out thirty-six gallons of fine syrup, which
was ground and boiled in two days, pays
better than anything ever planted. The
principal reason for this hasty and imper-
feet sketch is, have heard Of some one
boiling aud failing to make good article,
and who calls It a humbug. My impression
is, that they do not boil it sufficiently. IL
they make more than one gallon out OF nine
or ten, the syrup will be inferior, unless the
cane is far superior to what we ground. II
should be boiled down until it has the APP
pearance Of the syrup from the sugar cane,
when you desire to MAKE sugar, and then
you will have fine article, il proper atten-
ton has been paid to the skmming of the
green scum which will arise to the top.

The Investigating Committee.

The proceedings of the House of Representa-
tives on Thursday last will be found more than
usually interesting. Mr.. Davis, of Maryland
from the Investigating Committee, submitted
report charging VIM. a. Gilbert, member OF the
House, Nfrom New York, with having given his
vote and influence for two measures from cor
rupt inducements, the consideration being IN one
case sum of money and in the other piece OF
land. The introduction of the report caused
considerable excitement, and its reading was
vehementy opposed. The House finally ordered
its reading, and after farther discussion OF on ex-
citing character, its consideration was postponed
until Monday. The Committee, ii is understood,
will make three other reports, separately alleging
similar corrupt conduct upon the part OF Francis
S. Edwards and Oramus B. Matteson, Of New
York, and Vim. NJ Welsh, of Connecticut. All
the implicated parties, it will be perceived, are
from Northern States. Messrs. Gilbert, Matte
son and Welsh are Republicans; Mr.. Edwards
was elected as an American, but on all sectional
questions has, we believe, voted with the former
party. Mr. Matteson was member OF the last
and has been reelected to the thirty-tifth Con-
gress. His expulsion now will only effect his
position for the remainder Of the present session.
He would still have a legal claim to his seat in
the next Congress. Gilbert, Edwards and WEIGH
are new members. Gilbert will besucceeied in
the next Congress by Charles B. Hoard, and Ed
wards by Reuben E. Fenton, both Democrats

University Of Virginia.

The Board of Visitors of this institution, at
their recent meeting elected Geo. Frederick
Holmes, Professor of History and General Lite
nature. Mr.. II. is widely known as an accom-
plished scholar and writer, and his connection
with the University will no doubt add greatly
to its reputation.
At the same meeting of the Board, the subject
of an Agricultural Proiessorship was under con-
sideraton 1t will be recolected that Mr.. Cooke
late President of the State Agricultural Society,
proposed to make donation of $4,000 to the
University for the establishment of an Agricu-
tural Professorship at the institution, upon con-
dition that he should have the right OF nominat-
ing the Professor during his life time, and after
his death the right to vest in the Farmers AS
sembly. 1t was also stipulated that in case the
plan of instruction should fail, the donation
should revert to the Agricultural Society. Messrs.
W. G. Rives, W. II. Mcfarland and Franklin
Minor represented the Farmers Assembly and
Mr.. Cooke before the Board Of Visitors, and al
ter mature consideration the latter declined the
proposition. The Visitors decided, wisely, we
have no doubt that in them should be placed
the unrestricted right of appointing Professors
and that if any privilege of nomination existed
elsewhere, it would inevitably lead hereafter to
serious misunderstanding.

The Public Lands.

Senator Bell has introduced bill in Congress
for distributing among the States the amount OF
money derived from the sale Of public lands ex-
ending those States which have already receiv-
ed grants for Railroads or other purposes There
is no probability of the passage of the bill; for
Virginia Democrats and Western Democrats will
unite in opposing it. The former are too proud
to take any, and the latter want all. Only a
week or two ago the Senate's Committee on
Public Lands reported adversely to the petition
of the Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad Com
pany, asking for few thousand acres; and
few days afterwards the Senate passed bill
giving lands to Minnesota for the purpose OF
building Railroad nine hundred miles long
When will the people of Virginia understand
this matter?

Infanticide.

On Sunday morning last, Messrs. Jeremiah
Moore and Joseph McNut, while passing through
the farm of Mr.. r. Summerson, about mile
from Staunton, discovered the dead body OF
white female infant. The fact was communica-
ted to the Coroner, Mr.. Albert J. CARRIER, who
Immediately had ajury summoned. The only
witnesses examined were Mr.. Moore and DR..
Donaghe, and upon their evidence and their own
inspection of the body the Jury found the fol-
lowing verdict That the child came to its
death, probably within the last three days, from
exposure on bleak hill side within few hours
after its birth; that it was born alive, and was
exposed by its mother, an unknown white wo-
man, or some person at her instance. The bo-
dy was very much decomposed. ltappeared to
have been carried to the spot where found, in
q blanket
