Flat Surface for Corn.

The old fashion OF billing corn-so long preva-
lent among our hrmers--appears still to have
many advocates We are not at present prepared
to discuss the subject in all its bearings, but shall
merely offer few remarks in relation to the id-
vantages resulting from fiat surface on light soils,
and from cultvating the crop with the cultivator,
instead Of cultiyating with the pillow, harrow
and hoe.
1t will be evident, we think. to every candid
mind, that the practice Of constructing large con
cal bills around the plants, on land which is light
aud dry, must inevitably tend to increase the eff
feets Of drought, inasmuch as it exposes more
surface to the Atmosphere and consequently in
creases aeri6cation at times when all tho moisture
contaned in the soil is required for the support and
sustenance OF the plants. When rain falls, the
conical hill conducts the water from the roots to
the centre Of space between the rows and bills,
very little Of the fluid being retained about the
plants, OF within range of the small roots, by which
the pdbuItm is token up by the growing plants,
and without which they would Immediately sE-
guish and decay.
On light soil we think billing 10 always disad'
vantage to the crop. Every fresh stratum Of earth
placed over the roots causes the protrusion Of q
new set Of laterals TO the detrimsnt OF those pre-
,iously formed. This exhausts the energy OF the
plant, without increasing, in any great degree ito
powers q appropratng food from the surround
ing soil, as the first formed roots cease TO grow as
soon as those caused by the deposition Of new soil,
are developed, and in short time will be found
to have lost their vitality and became mere worth.

Besides, when the corn is billed up" the stalks
are bIaDched" and rendered brittle by the fresh
soil, and this in case Of strong winds, causes them
to break, which is an injury involving dmnu'
ton of product and consequent loss. 1t has also
been remarked that corn, when cultivated with

surface, will, when prostrated by the wind, rise

two days moving off.
Yesterday was quiet; but in the morning
a tremendous explosion was heard within
the enemy's lines, and from the direction OF
my's gunboats had blown up.
We are informed that on the 9Th instant
q Confederate battery opened on the enc

was replied to by the enemy. The battery
then moved to another position higher up

down near Swinyard's wharf, and deliber-
ately shelled a house occupied alone by Ia
dies, children and servants. The family,
consisting of eight persons, had left the

exploded directly under the room, tearing
everything to pieces. The negro cook was
the only person wounded.

self Gen. A. Il. Mel ritt, of the United States
army, had recently fallen heir to an i'm
mense estate in Maine, and that he had ad-
ded to it, by purchase, twenty-five thousand
acres of mineral lands in Tennessee. The
windfall and the purchase made the Cen
eral man of note, and he became immedi-
ately popular with many persons, from
whom he succeeded in borrowing sun
dry sums of money, much to his great 10Y,
but also, as it happened, to the great grief
of the lenders. - 7
! The General boarded at hotel In the
Eastern part Of the city, the proprietor of
which, by indorsing his notes, enabled him
to raise the sum of three thousand dollars,
for the payment of which the estate and
the Tennessee mineral lands were regarded
as ample security, and with this the Gem
eral got along for some days swimmingly.
About week ago General Merritt at-
tempted a negotiation with Homens 81 Co.,

was partially successful. The Bankers
couldn't see it, but they drew on the

told. 1t appears that the Conservatoire de
la Danse at one time consisted of hotel,
which was also kind of warehouse for the
Crown furniture. 1t was much infested
with moths, mice and rats, of the last of
which the female pupils had an especial
horror, and used to lift their dresses very
high to afford as little sanctuary as possible
to any rat that should appear. Reportsays,
too, that the dresses were lifted higher in
case of neat ankle and near admirer. In
course of time the word ''rat" was applied
to rat-haters, and now signifies young
female dancer.
