ANALYSIS OF SOILS.
RALEIGH. Nov, 13, 1860.

RALEIGH, Nov. 49, 1860.
M. Tucker: ,rs
DEAR SIR-The hard mari which you gave me
for analysis from the plantations of Messrs. Per-
kins & Caraway, Of Georgetown District S. CO.
contains large admixture of sand though not so
much as to prerent its use a FERTILIZER. ~
1t contains from So to SO silex, and from IA to 12
Of carb. lime and small quantity of magnesia. 1t
is highly probably chat in connexion with this rock
mari softer and richer mari may be found
The red or brown soil from the lands of c. Per-
kins, Of Pitt county, N. c., have tested as fer
tilizer, and find it is composed Of r.. r.
Slick, $500
Water, 600
Organic matter, 800 r.
Alumina or peroxide of iron, $500
Carbonate of lime, 3.4 per Ct
Magnesa.
To explain the effects of this substance as fer
tiizer, we must take into account the free organic
matter and the lime which it contains. But be-
leve in this case the iron is also in combination with
crenic and apocrenc acids which organic bodies
and which furnish ammonia. The mode, however,
in which it operates, is not so important to know
the fact that it is so. Its composition certainly
shows that it would be fertilizer, 5ut to what ex-
tent experiment and observation are necessary to
determine. Only about half of the material is use
less while all the rest may be regarded in way
or another fertlzing matter. 1t would be useful
in formation of composts.

Count Cavour:
TURIN, Oct. 8, 1860.
SIR: have received the letter which you have
addressed to me IN the name of the Society of the
Universal Israeltish Alliance soliciting the aid of
the Kings government in the steps which the faith
er of the young Mortara is taking in order to re-
cover his child from the convent in which he is at
present retained. Persuaded of the justice of Mr.
Mortara's demands, have the honor to assure you
sir that the Kings government will do all in its
power that this child, in whom the public opinion
of Europe is so strongly interested may be restor-
ed to his family. Be good enough, I beg you to
acquant the members Of the Jewish Society Of these
intentions of>the government of the King, and re-
ceive, &C., CAVOUR.

to say to his Students Don't be afraid of little
dirt, young gentlemen. What is dirt? Why,
nothing at all offensive, when chemically viewed
Rub little alkali upon that dirty grease spot
on your coat and it undergoes a chemical
change and becomes soap. Now rub it with lit
tic water, and it disappears; it is neither grease
soap, water nor dirt. That is not a very odorous
pile of dirt you observe there. Well, scatter lit
tie gypsum it, and it is longer dirty. Eve
rything you call dirt is worthy of your notice as
students of chemistry. Analyze it! 1t will all

corn makes bread and meat and that makes very

The Banks-Assura"ces Of Secession.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 19.-The merchants of Charles
ton say that the people have suffered long enough
from the action of the Banks. There has been a
money pressure here for ninety days. and it is daily
growing worse. They consider the policy pursued
; ruinous, and recommend meeting of merchants to
determine on the proper course of action. 1t is the
general opinion that the banks should adopt some
immediate relief measure for the sake of the COM
munity.
The Courier of this morning says: "We assure
Northern readers, and beg them to believe, that
South Carolina will secede-alone, if necessary al
; though we have no fears of that result"
A captain in the ordnance department arrived last

that South Carolina wants no conference but in the

! tuition, and compel the organization Of Southern

I; The military committee have agreed upon plan
for arming the State. They will report to the Leg

t The government arsenal is constantly guarded by
detachments of the Washington Light Infantry. An
! immense quantity of ammunition is stored there,

would almost certainly precpitate revolution and
bloodshed. The Light Infantry patrols are not ad
mitted within the arsenal walls but encamp in the
surrounding enclosure The strictest military dis
cipline prevails among those on duty.
There is no doubt that most active correspond
is constantly kept up from this point with Cuos

Curious superstitions.

Before scientific invest gation had made
known HE actual properties of plants, the
most whimsical fancics were received and
firmly believed in. Thus, every plant was
supposed TO be under the Influence az a
planet; each planet reignec paramount
over certain part of the human frame,
and tina herbs under its influence were be
levod 10 supply the proper medicine for
that PORTION Of the body. Another me
thod Of detecting the virtues Of plants was
by Signature, and vas founded on the
IDEA that nature has stamped on divers
plants legible characters, to discover their
uses. So yellow flowers were held the
natural medicine for yellow jaunii-c;
spotted herbs for the removal Of trccisles;
and the ,oo;h-lle shape Of the heutane
