The offer was made in such way that
the Government understood that an offer
Of services had actually takon place, and
accordingly sent Mr.. Sanford, Minister to

Mr.. $. was authorized to tender him the
command of division of the army, which
he was disposed to accept, but his friend,

Under the circumstances to have given

cinity, as there is FIVE fathoms Of water be-
tween it and the shore. Ten fathoms Of water
are found to the seaward, but no bottom can
be reached with the deep sea lead and thirty
iathems Of line at the spring itself. The wa
ter in the spring is fresh and by no means un-
palatable. One pcculiarity about this phe-
nomenon is, that when the st. Johns river
is high, il boils up from SIX to eight feet
above the level Of the sea, and presents rath-
er iorbidding appearance. This spring
has doubtless deceived hundreds, who have
hastily put about from, as they thought. i'm
minent danger, and reported seeing crock
with water breaking over it," The Harriet
Lane has passed through il several times,
and water has beea drawn from il by buck
ct thrown over the side, and when drank, no
unpleasant taste or smell has been found.
Its position and harmless character have
been long unknown, but now the supposed
danger has become, as it were, a well Of
water in barren land"

PARALLEL OF THE MAN of WIT, AND
THE MAN OF SENSE.

The man Of sense cultiyates the good will
Of society makes allowances for the humOrs
of his fellow creatures; bears with their in
firmites; and is applauded without being
envied. On the contrary, the wit, full Of
himself, sacrifices to his self-loye that Of
mankind, and is in state of hostility with
the world. The man of sense, by making
good order and decency the rule of his ac-
tions, acquires, as he merits, universal re-
spect; the wit imagines himself to be priv
ileged person, allowed to dispense, not only
with the essence, but the common forms Of
good breeding, and meets with his dc serts in
an almost general contempt. The former,
always discreet, even in his most faeetlous
moments, is studious rather to be useful
than to display the extent Of his acquire
ments. The latter courts applause; as a
prOiessed wit, he is perpetually tortaring
his fancy to strike out some short lived
scintillation, and after all is ridiculed. The
one is as unassuming as the other is arro-
giant and ostentatious. The man Of sense
thinks with judgment, and expresses his
sentiments with precision; the wit over
charges his discourse with ornament at the
expense of the idea. Sound sense is the
object Of the former; point the summum
bonum Of the latter. One charms with the
whip cream Of pleasantly, and oserlooks
what is obnoxious to i'll natured censure
the other gives scope to the maleyolence Of
satire, and breaks out into invectiye against
defects that he is chargeable with himself.
The man Of sense is aware Of the mutability
Of fortune he is prepared against its sicis-
si,udes, and meets them without Striking
your man Of wit is often cast down by tri'
fling incident, and is unsheltered amidst the
storm of adversely. The former aims to ex.
eel in his profession. and makes duty pleas.
ure the latter for the most part sacrifices
duty to the means Of amusement. To con.
clude, the man OF sense observes a just
on all occasions, seduloas TO avoid extremes
whilst the man Of wit oserleaPs the line, aud
is ever running into them.

APPLE TREES.

The fruit trees should receive particular
attention at this season Of the year. II you
neglected TO do so in the fall, now is the time
TO cart out an abundance of manure into the
orchard, placing il in convenient heaps for
mulching the trees as soon as the frost will
permit of doing SO. Lose no time IN prun-
ing, and while deing 80 be on the look out
for the eggs Of insects. Caterpillar eggs
Of various kinds will be found glued to the
forks Of twigs, and cankerworms TO the twigs
themselves. AT the latter part q this month
and in the beginning Of April, these last
mentioned worms begin to come out Of the
ground aud ascend the trees TO deposit. The
eggs, being laid on the twigs of the trees,
hatch, and the insects eat their Gil, aud al.
ter time lower themselves into the ground,
where they are transformed into male Or fc-
male worms. The females die after having
deposited their eggs. The most simple
means Of destroying them Is by tying tight
around the butt Of tree piece Of paper

POISON IN Spurious LIQUORS.

In communication to the Boston Medi.
cal and Surgical Journal, DR.. Hayes, State
Assayer Of Massachusetts,, states that he has
made somewhat extended series of analyt-
ical experiments on spirits, and in no case
had he found that any dcleterious body had
been added by manufacturers to distilled IL
quors. Gases Of sudden poisoning by low
priced common spirits frequently occsr, but
these are caused By the fusel oil which is pro-
duced by the fermentation Of mixed grains.
American distilled spirits, when allowed to
become old, are less deleterious than most
Of the foreign brandies. In newly distilled
spirits, however, there is source Of great
danger which should be generally known, as
il j. CT special interest to the medical pro-
iesslon. Of these DIR. Hayes says that the
newly distilled spirits Of most common kind
often contain salts Of copper, Of lead or tin,
derived from the condensers in which the va
pors are reduced to fluid form. The guam
tity of copper salt contained in the bulk
usually taken at draught is sufficient to
produce the minor effects Of metallic pOis>
oning, and the cumulative character of these
posons may even lead to fatal consequences.
In the "old spirits" examined by DIR.
HAYES, he found those metallic salts had all
deposited to the bottom Of the eask. New
spirituous liquors and the dregs at the bot
tom of the cask may therefore be consider
ed highly poisonous.

From the Country GentIeman.
INDIAN CORN.


While | am writing, believe will give
my plan Of planting corn. After blowing
the land, run of the corn rows with shoy-
el plow' and drill the corn. Then with
bull tongue, or narrow shovel, run on
each side, making list on the corn. In
about ten or twelve days-that is about the
time the corn is sprouting-take board Il
inches long and or 10 wide, bore hole in
il, and screw il on the shovel plow stock
and run il on the top Of the list, II levels
the list down beautifully, knocks of the
elods, breaks the crust, gives the Young
grass aud weeds. which have sprouted, 4
back set, aud in few days the Young corn
comes up through this clean mellow bed
ready to grow right OF. II is the best work
ing the corn can have. And as hand, with
a good horse, can scrape eight or ten acres a
day. farmer can get his whole crop worked
over in a few days. and thus get the start oI
his work no small matter in SO busy /
season.
My main crop has been tobacco for good
many years, and at some future time may
give you the most approved plan Of manag-
ing that very troublesome but profitable crop.
The year before last, nv crop averaged me
one hundred and twenty dollars TO the acre.
on new ground without manure. The land
cost four dollars per acre. Last year put
the same land in tobacco, without manure,
and had just as good crop as the year be-
fore. IL is now in wheat, and il the season
is good one, will make large yield. 80
much for some Of our North Carolina land.

RURAL ECWNWMYo
pULvERIzE THE mANUREs.

Few farmers comprehend the importance
Of attending to this item in the preparation
of their stock Of fertilizers. They are often
carried to the field in the Spring, in the coars-
est form possible, the hay and straw not fer.
mented at all, and the coarse clods carried
into the yard last Summer. not broken. They
are spread in this state, and the large Jumps
are plowed under, SO that they are not i'm
mediately available for the sustenance of
plants. Plants feed mainly at the extremi-
ties Of the rootlets, through many mouths too
small to be seen by the naked eve. The f.
ner the manure is made, the more easily it is
dissolved in water, and the sooner it passes
into the circulation. This doubtless is one
reason Of the immediate visible effects of Pc
ruvisn guano. II has passed through the di-
gestive apparatus OF birds, and reduced to a
much finer powder than it could be by any
mechanical means. So small quantity as a
hundred pounds. spread upon an acre Of now
ing in wet May-day will improve its ap-
pearance in very short time.
All observing farmers have noticed that
the finest and most thoroughly worked COM
post, other things being equal, gives uniform
ly the best results. The minute division of
the particles is favorable to the chemical
combinations that take place in the soil. 1t
becomes much sooner available and the cul-
tiyator gets an earlier return for his invest
ment in fertilizers.
Fortunately, at this season, we have very
powerful agent that we can put to this work
of communion without any expense. The
frost with a fair chance to work, is better
than any clod-crusher or mill to powder a
compost heap. One Of the best means Of e.
conomizing frost for this purpose. is to plow
up the yard whenever there comes thaw, or
say twice a month. Every turning Of the
contents Of the yard exposes new surfaces to
the action Of the frost. We have found II
very profitable employment to fork over the
compost heaps in the barn cellar, and in the
field during the Winter, where the heaps are
large; this can be done quite rapidly, even
in freezing weather; and the more it freezes
and thaws, The finer il becomes. Heaps thus
turned and thoroughly beaten up with show
el, come out in the spring, fine homogeneous
mass, good TO spread and pIow in. admirable
for dropping in the hill, and irstrate tor top.

HoLD up YouR WHIP IN DRIVING OXEN
The Ohio Farmer says there is more in the
movements Of the driver Of an ox-team, and
in carrying Of the whip, than most farmers
think. Oxen, however quick in their move
ments, or upright their walk in the yoke,
soon become dull, and get the practice of
|" showing" or ".hauling," in consequence Of
the driver tagging along, or, as is often the
practice, going ahead Of the team, and from
time to time stepping back and whipping
them. A driver of an ox-team should walk d.
rectly opposite to the yoke, walk straight, and
carry his whip as upright as soldier would
his gun. Use whip stock with short lash,
and never strike them on the nose or over
the eyes.

The FRENCH MoDE OF GRAFTINo.-The
French are practicing new method Of
grating, knowledge Of which may prove
valuable TO American horticulturists, mas
much as it can be performed at any season
Of the year. when the sound matured buds
can be had, whether the sap is in a flowing
state or not. 1t is performed by removing
small piece Of bark and wood, leaving a
smooth and fiat surface, to which similar
piece containing the bud, which is to form
the future tree, is fitted, which is sealed over
Immediately with colodion. This forms a
strong impervious cuticle, which secures a
free circulation Of the sap on the approach
Of warm weather and perfect union Of the
