mers and Planters of the United States with an
article which consider superior to anything Of
tho kind which has yet been produced. having an
unusual amount I believe of the valuable ingredi-
cuts In this article. During my editorship Of the
"Americau Farmer" with which until within few
months, have been connected for % years. have
most alphabetically urged upon the Farmers and
Planters that the mixture of the Ammoniaeai Gu-
ano (Peruyian) with the Phosphate Mexican,
Columbian, &C. was the best and cheapest appli.
cation to most crops they could apply. For more
general views upon this subject. refer to the pa
ges of the American Farmer; and also, to my cir
cular Just issued land which will be forwarded to
any one desiring it in which this view ia ably sus

The Fixed Stars.

A very remarkable circumstance attend
ing the nebnlH and clusters of stars is, that
they are arranged in strata, which seem to
run on to a great length It is considered
probable thatt they may surround the whole
of the apparent sphere of the heavens, not
unlike the milky way. which is undoubted-
ly nothing but a stratum of fixed stars. As
this latter immense starry bed is not of equal
breadth or luster in every part. nor runs in
one straight direction, but is curved and
even divided into two streams along very
considerable portion oft, The greatest vari
ETY. is naturally found in the clusters of the
stars and nebul@. One of these nebular
beds is SO rich that Herschel. with his tele-
scope. in passing through section of it,
only in the time of thirty-six minutes de-
tected no less than thirty-one nebule, all
distinctly visible upon blue sky. Their
situation and shape, as well as condition,
denoted the greatest variety possible. It is
very probable that the great stratum, cal
led the milky way. is that in. which the sun
is placed. though perhaps not in the very
centre of its thickness. This. would seem
to be the case from the appearance of the
galaxy, which seems to encompass the whole
heavens, as it must certainly do if the sun
is within the same. Philadelphia North

While the fourth lies open toward the sea-
The city is antique aud picturesque in the
+extreme.d The houses, usually of dark
stone, line streets without pavement or
sidewalk scarcely wide enough for our car
most meet ~ The effect is altogether foreign
and novel; The old Spanish fort. with It's
battlements and, watch-towers, as perfect as
at its completion. is the limit of tte town on
the north, and the United States barracks
its farthest extent on the south. From the
one to the other of these points our Govern
