THE AMERICANS AT observation-disclosures
Full OPERATIONs.-M John Z. Gowan. the
contractor for raising the sunken vessels in
the harbor of Sebastopol, writes an interesting
letter concerning his operations. We quote
Our machinery was not completed until
Jane. 1853. On the Sd of June the first YES
sci was raised to the surface of the water-the
schooner of war Smclla, of sixteen guns. Since
that time | have raised the steamer Turk, war
steamer GrOZnoi, iron steamer Danube, eigb-
teen guns; brig Kncas, yacht Parisienne. and
cutter Strella These vessels are i'll excellent
condition, and comparatively sound. | sold
the steamer Turk to the Imperial Govern
ment for 30 900 silver ruhles. and she will be
running again in the course of four months |
have also sold the steamer GroZnoi for 90, 900
silver rubles at public auction.
In addition to the above, have removed
the l20 gun ship Catharinc, the line-of-battlc-
ship Sagonvii. the 81 gun ship Paris, another
"a gun ship, the Chcsma. used formerly as Il
prison ship; the frigate Kavarna, also fig

have recently had important concessions
granted by the government, having st com
pletCd the contract 10y which they give all the
property, instead Of one-halt, as heretofore
the above arrangement to commence from
the 10Th of last June; therefore, all the YES
sells aud property recovered since that date
belong to the company. We are now busily
engaged in the various branches of the work.
We have sixty carpenters engaged on two i'm
mense caissons. under tn" superintendent OF
an ED Bostonian-Capt. Samuel +. Holbrook.
They will b" completed early in the spring,
when we shall raise come of the largest ships,
which are estimated to he worth 200 900 sill

ia Mr.. PREsCoTT's mother once showed
his room to the Rev. Mr.. FRorHNGHAN. and
said to him This is the room where VIZ
LIAM was shut for so many months in utter
darkness. In all that trying season, when so
much had to be endured, and our hearts were
ready to fail us for fear, | never in single
instance CROPPED my way across the apart

CONGENTTtL FIssURE OF TIE STERMUa.-
The National hlteiLigneer says that Mr.. f.
A. GRoUx, extensively known in Europe and
in American for the extraordinary cOnforma-
ton of his chest, which permits a view of the
pulsations Of the heart. is now IN this city,
and the medical faculty have already availed
themselves of this unique opportunity to
make observations so interesting. The case
of Mr.. Crock is the only one on record. and
his own experimental information on the sub
iect is OF great assistance for the explanation
requisite for this most interesting demOnstra-
ton. There can be no doubt that the general
curiosity and eagerness of the medical pro-
fession to observe the anatomical and physi-
illogical results produced in his case are well
founded. and accounts for the marks of re-
spcct and friendship which we understand he
has met in every place where he has been in
vited; and the extent of the interest which is
felt in his case, is manifested by invitations
from Savannah. Charleston, New Orleans,
St. Louis, Cincinnati Chicago, Milwaukee,
&C. &c.

Our RACEs.-In our final report Of orr
Races-says the Charleston Courier-which
appeared in our paper yesterday, we stated
that Col. Che ATTAIN, with view to test fully
the powers Of Socks, had proposed to back
him for SO 600. against any horse, mare, filly
or gelding az Virginia, two mile heats, provd-
ed the race was run at Memphis. We have
since learned, and think it but due to our
Virginia friends to state, this morning, that
they were and are willing to accept Colonel
CHEArHAM's proposal for a match, proyid d
he consents to run it in Virginia. The only
difficulty to close a race is as to - the venue."
We propose, therefore, that two matches BE-
run. one to come off at Memphis, as proposed
by Col. CHEArHAM other at Petersburg
or Richmond.

To DELAY BLossoMs-Any fruit tree may
be made to bloom sufficiently late in the sea-
son to prevent lis fruit from being injured by
the frost, and consequently present a fine.
heavy crop, 10y the following judicious treat
ment:
In the middle of winter, when the ground
is most severely frozen, put a large pile OF
wheat straw or oak leaves around the roots.
letting it extend for some distance in every
direction, so as to cover the extended roots
that approach the surface of the earth. Cover
this pile with planks or boards, so that nc
rain can fall upon the pile. Let this cover
remain until all danger from frost has passed.
Then remove the cover and straw, and look
for splendid crop to follow soon.
The rationale of this is: The frozen earth
viii not thaw until late in the spring, If the
pile remain; and while the earth l. frozen the
tree cannot bloom; but when the danger is
past, remove the covering and the tree will
bloom forth speedily. Try it, farmer friends

WHEAT AND THE MIDGE. We are glad
to learn from our friends engaged in wheat
growing, says the Editor of the Working
Farmer, that by a proper application of the
Nitrogenized erphosphate, they succeed
ed during the last season in most cases, in
avoiding the midge. A greater rapidity oi
growth carries the plant past the state when
it could be affected by this insect, before it
made its appearance. A difference of ten
days seems to be sufficient for this object
This Is readily attained where the land is
prepared with the Nitrogenized Super-phos-
phate at the time of planting, and receives
fall and spring top-dressing with lesser
quantity.
