Liebig's Theory.

In his recent " Letters on Modern Ag-
riculture," Liebig touches the point up
on which rests all our success in farm
ing. With each crop, each plant, or
portion Of a plant, he says, taken away
from field, the soil loses portion of the
condition of its fertility; that is, it loses
the power of again producing this crop,
plant, or portion of plant, after the expi-
ration of a number of years of cultiva-
ion. A thousand grains of corn require
from the soil thousand times as much
phosphoric acid as one grain and a
thousand straws thousand times as
mach siIicic acid as one straw; if, there
fore, there is deficiency of q thousandth
part of the phosphoric or silicic in the
soil, then the thousandth grain and straw
will not be formed. A single straw re-
moved from a grain field makes this field
bear one corn straw less. This must be
so--and this single fact, ever present
with the cultivator, should lead him to
such practices as would always recuper-
ale, rather than depreciate his soils SO
that, at the end of hundred years Of
cultivation. the soil is better able to pro-
duce a paying crop than it was the first
wear it was taken in hand.

lows OF THE DrscoNsoL The
Douglas organ at Washington, howls
most dismally over the great Republican
triumph, in organizing the House. 1t
says:
The day. we fear, is far distant when
tie voice of the South will again be
heard in the organization of the House.
We see enough to satisfy US that. as con-
trastcd with the North, her strength in
that body has departed forever. The
submissionists within her own embraces
have hastened this lameniable state Of
affairs. They may be properly denomi
mated the Union at any price politicians.
They invite aggressive spirits to the per-
pe.raijon ofacts Of aggression, and thus
prepare the way for their own yassalage.
II must be confessed that the condition
of the South is anything but assuring to
her citizens at the present period. We
can perceive nothing encouraging for
is-r political security looming up either
y the near OF distant future"

Southern Sentiment.

Under the head of "plain talk" the New
Orleans Bulletin has the following:
The Georgia papers evidently do not like the
disunon speech OF the Hon. Mr.. Gartrell, one
of the Representatives of that State in Congress
The Griffin American Union, referring to the
proceedings of Congress, holds towards Mr.
Gartrell the following sharp language, which
he will probably understand
/" We see from the report of the proceedings
in Congress, that Mr.. Gartrell has made a
speech ON secession, and contended that State
has the right peaeeably to secede from the I'm
ion.
Now, all we have to say is this If Mr..
Gar!rell wants to secede from the Union, he is
perfectly welcome topack upand be off as soon
ms he pleases, and we hope that in his peregrn-
atoms he may comeu with some form of gov
ernincnt that suits him better than this.
Our country would experience happy
delverlnce if Mr.. Gartrell, and all other disun-
iouists like him, would quit and be off soon
as possible Their places might then BE filed
with statesmen and patriots, who would carry
Oh the government as it should be done.
/" The reason that Congress cannot organize
and proceed to the discharge Of the duties re-
qured Of them, is that there are too many ia
natical simpletons there. They know how to
keep mp row, but have no capacity for bust
ness."
Without wishing to be quite so severe upon
the members of Congress rs our Georgia con
temporary is, we must say that there is good
deal OF hard sense in the last sentence of the
above extract. They do know how to keep
mp q row. certainly. butts to their capacity
for business" we cannot speak SO confidently
They give the country but Indifferent proof OF
the POSSESSION of such capacity. The people
sent them there to do the public business in q
business like manner, and not to spout secession
ana utter threats what they will not do. This
is not any part ofthe business which they werl
elected to perform.
