Oats Lodging.

Why do oats lodge? We have sometimes
heard farmers boast that their ground was
m such excellent heart that the cat. would
lodge, inicrrins therefore that the crop OF
oats was extraordinarily large, 80 large tha,

would argue that no real practical farmer
ever met with this difficulty. The soil can.
no, be said 20 he in perfect heart, merely
because /, contains an excessive quantity ot
barn yard manure 10 BE- IN heart it should
be- ia such exact balance that every part Of
the plant can appropriate what /, requires

the cat straw is silicato OF potash, sileS com-
binci with potash. Whoever knew a crop
of oats to lodge when grown on soils con.

Isy~ From the many demands made upon the
Legislature for State aid to internal improvements,
we fear there will be an increase of State liabilities
TO the extent of some five or six millions of dollars
We have ever been the advocate Of internal i'm
provemcnts by the State, to a point that will not
endanger its credit, make taxes too oncrous.-
That point we think, has been reached, and there
we should stop If we go beyond it. the deprecia-
ton in State bonds, likely to follow, must prove
injurious to the interest Of the people Mt large, who
must he taxed to pay the principal, at par, with in
tcrest and loose every dollar Of the heavy discount
upon deprecated bonds. If the bonds fall, in the
market to seventy-fve dollars in the hundred, the
State is not only bound for the full hundred with
interest but looses the twenty-five dollars of dis
count. This is heavy loss and it should be avoid
ed by keeping the credit of the State as near as
possible to par. The present liabilities about as
heavy as the State can safely bear, and prudence
demands that they be not increased

nEa. We wish we had space for the debate be-
tween the Hon, T. A. r. Nelson, of this State and
Roger Pryor of Virginia. The latter gentleman
went into the war of intellect, doubt, with the
pleasing prospect of an easy victory but he "caught
a tartar, and received as genteel drubbing rs
heart could desire. Mr.. Pryor belongs to the
"ch.yalry' Of the South, is extreme in his views
and not altogether able to uphold them in argu-
mcnt; and when opposed by the clear logic, close
reasoning, elcqucncc and craftsmanship of such a
MIN os Nelson, he prosSs unequal TO the task "a
sumcd. There is yet another disadvantage under
which he lahorS. As the man who declared that
the corruption of the democratic patty stinks in the
nostrils of the country, what he says as leader Of
thotporty is entitled to no wcght--hs own conduct
condemns him ms the urholder of that corruption,
or the slandcrcr of his own party.
