mously, receiving the full Republican and Democratic
vote. Mr. Csuldwel has been Supervisor Of that town
for four years.
In West Farms, Mr.. Charles Dathgate, Republican,
was reelected by four majority 1t is said his election
will be contested by Mr.. Samuel NJ. Purdy, nasmuch
as 80 ballots were rejected by the Canvasers for the
reason that they contained the name of Samuel Purey
without the middle name.
II is understood that the Republicans have also made
gain in Yorktown, and elected their candidate j. b.

From Washingto

sps.iai Dispatch 10 The n Y. Tribune
WASHINGTON, Thursday March 29, 1861.
THE MISSION TO ENGLAND.
Charles Francis Adams has arrived here, and,
after receiving his instructions, will depart i'm.
medately for the mission to England.
CALL TO DUTY.
1t is esteemed of great importance by the De-
partment of State that all the new Ministers
should be at their posts as early as possible
TRANSFERS AND srBsrTTrTIoss.
The transfer Of Mr.. Clay to Russia and the
substitution of Mr. Schurz to Spain, was made
agreeably to the wishes of both parties, and is
necessarily agreeable to the Administration All
parties are now satisfied.
THE MEXICAN MISSION.
Mr. Corwin expects to leave about the 10th
of April for Mexico. The diplomatic representa-
tive of that Government here has written to the
Governor Of Vera Cruz to provide an escort Tor
him from that city to the Capital, on account OF
the banditti infes,ing the road and in cOmPli-
ment 10 the new Minister and Administration.
TIE PHILADELPHIA coLLRcTORsHIP.
The impression now obtains here that Mr. Pol.
lock will not be appointed Collector of Phila-
delphia. but assigned to some other position,
probably Superintendent Of the Mint. The only
Objection urged against him is residence out Of
the CITY. William B. Thomas is now most prom.
inently named for that position.
PORT SUMTER.
No decision has yet been made by the Presi.
dent in regard to Fort sumter, but, from the
nature of the Official and personal reports SUBJ
mitted to him, there can be little doubt as to his
final discrimination 1t may be announced im-
medately, or withheld, according to circum-
stances. Mr. Lincoln has never concealed his
indisposition t. make any seeming concession to
the rebels, and nothing but necessity which
cannot be avoided will induce him to yield now.

DEEPENING THE SOIL.

Almost any soil NAV be made TO reach GER
tain medium degree Of excellence, but in going
beyond this much will depend upon what sort OF
sub soil there is beneath It; it may be too open
or gravey to retain moisture or manures, or
it may contain qualities poisonous to the roots of
plants. The soil may be deepened at little cost
and 10 great advantage when il is underlaid with
strong muctuous, fac grained sub soil OF loan
of clay loan, that holds iertilizins matter WELL
and on suitable exposure 70 the atmosphere sskes
or disntegrates willingly, so that it is susceptible
Of fine mellow tilth. \ sub soil of this kind
brought to the surface by deep blowing, eIrliven-
ed by atmospte etc Influence, high manariDg and
thorough cultivation, and mixed with the oder
surface soil, viii give better tilGh and increased
production; the lald better stands the PECULIAR
arities OF a too wet or too day season; the roots
of vegetation form stronger hold upon the soil,
and the crops are no. so easily injured by winds
and storms the manure may be suitably inclos
ed in mellow earth near the surface where it has
a greater and more lasting effect upon the land ;
and when he land il laid down to grass, it holds
out lonee n productive moving, because the
roots hayi deeper range, do not so soon be
come entans Il in web near the surface, and
the sod is not SO soon "bound out"
With dressing of % loads of compost per
acre, it would be safe TO pillow eight or nine in
ches deep whore such a sab soil is turned up
with 40 loads per acre, still deeper-supposine
that six or seven inches was the maximum depth
previously attained. This is going down two or
three inches at once; but il the subsoil is poor
or inclined TO be sandy or grayelly, aud the sur
lace soil is loose and hungry, the process of deep
ening must necessarily be more gradual, bringing
up not more than an inch or SO of the lower soil
at each rotation of crops, and manuring that
generously. As in all other operations, good
judgment must preside over ones attempts to
deepen the soil, and the particular circumstances
Of the case in hand must temper and govern the
action. Where deep powing is to be practiced
it is usually desirable TO do Il in the fall and sive

COrlPOs SIS.

Let nothing that is cpable, when dccomposed,
OF furnishing nutriment 10 your growing crops
be permitted to go TO waste about your premises.
A compost heap should be at hand to receive all
decomposed refuse. The best basis for this heap
is well dried swamp muck but where this is NOS
readily obtained procure rich turf scrapng from
the roadside, leaves and surface soil from the
woodlands and the sides of fences straw, chips,
corncObs, weeds, &c. Let this be composted with
any animal matter found about the premises, or
IN the vicinity the carcasscs of all dead animals
large or small, ofIal OF every kind, wooden rags
bones, old boots, shoes, and waste leather of ev-
cry description, the droppings Of the henroost,
soap suds, salt, brine, all DRAWINGS from the sink
spout. Stops from the chambers, aud clean-
ings from the priyy. let all go to the com
post heap. And whatever viii hot decay
there, with sufficient rapiity aud without assis-
lance, then aid its decay by the addition of such
substances as viii facilitate the object Bones,
leather, &c, may be softcned so as to pulverize
readily, by being packed in ashes and kept moist
a few months; and il the whole be sufficiently
covered with muck during the process. there viii
be no loss OF any element; or they may be pack
ed In an old cssk in strong solution of potash,
or may be prepared with sulphuric acid in the
most scientific manner, and wher thus prepared
in either OF these ways, will add 10 the value OF
the compost heap. And if it still is not strong
enough, add wood ashes to any extent, from one
to ten or twelve bushels per cord When thus
prepared, our compost heap should be carefully
worked ever, thoroughly mixing all the different
ingredients. IL may then be applied to the soil
in the same manner with that from the barn cellar
or in any other way desirable.
In addition to the foregoing general compost,
every farmer who has swamp muck or peat on
his farm should compost it extensively with his
stable manure; for it is believed CT the evidence
OF careful experiment, that two cords OF com.
post prepared by mixing daily one cord of dry
muck with the same quantity Of the solid excre-
ments OF animals is fully equal, for all practical
purposes, TO two cords OF the latter preserved
and applied without the muck; and also tina, two
cords OF compost, prepared BY using that guam
THY oil dry muck, to absorb all the LIQUID voided
by the same animals, during the time re-
quired TO obtain one cord of solid excrement, TO
be equal in value 10 two cords Of the former com.
post Thus We have four cords of equal value
oy this process, to every one cord obtained where
TIE manure is thrown cut OF doors aud left ex-
Posen TO sun, wind aud rain, and all the LIQUID
ano"ed 10 run to waste. In this way the stock
o. manure may be greatly and cheaply increased.

:. Shortening the principal branches at the

The width, however, should not exceed one
