THE GAZETTE. The Potato Disease. A correspondent of the Cultivator, who writes from Central New York, anticipates much mischief from the potato blight in that part of the country, and as the disease has shown itself in this county, we give his account of its first appearance and pro gress. He says— "The potato crop in Central New York came up late this season in consequence of a cold and wet May. It grew rapidly in the niontn of June, but was not fully in flower un til nearly the middle of July, in consequence of the general lateness of the season. "The first intimations of disease upon it were noticed afier a pretty heavy rain on the 23d and 24thof June, followed by cool weather on the 25th, on which day I noticed that the small and half-formed rosettes ot flowers were paralyzed and falling off unopened. "The jaext, and much more severe check which this crop received, was from the heavy rains of the 2d, 3d and sth ot July, followed by cool nights on the sth and 6th, the thermo meter sinking on the following mornings to 50°. There was not, however, in connection with these cool nights, the same coolness and chafing wind during the day, that I have no ticed, in former years, in connection with the origination of the potato disease. Immediately after these rains, i. e. on the 6th, I observed a mo6t marked pallid look in the potato crop, at tended with the withering of the top of the leading shoots; more especially at first a sin gle leaf, and tiie falling off of all the flowers, whether expanded or not." After some argument to show that the disease was the effect of the wet weather, and the sudden chill of the soil in conse quence, the writer proceeds thus : " After the effect of these rains and chilis of the first week of July passed off, the ver dure of the potato crop gradually recovered. Much of the succeeding portions of the month however, was wet and hot, the atmosphere ing like a hct vapor bath, a state of wes' ner undoubtedly unfavorable to the health 0 ' an enfeebled plant, such as I consider t 1 " 1 P° tato now to be. " July 16th, two days after a bfV Rnd * ar L m rain, I noticed the first bb*' ed £ lB o 8 leaves of the potato seen t !,ls seaßon - 1 his is a fearful indication, as lt Jmost always spreads rapidly, and i .•!—speedily followed by • " e ,eav 'Pß so marked, this there was a slight recovery of uie healthful verdure of the crop, which con tinued until the 25th, when a slight shower, followed by a chill on the 26th and 27th, redu cing the morning temperature down tos2° and 49°, once more brought pallid looks and in creased the wilhered leaves and falling flowers " August opened with a continuance of all the preceding morbid indications, especially with a veiv rapid increase of blue tips upon the upper ar.d outer leaves of the plant, and iron-rust spot 6 upon the lower and inner leaves. " Whole fields of early planted potatoes now look as though lately invaded by a scorching flame. During the present week, my neigh bors and ! have frequently found tubers mark ed with tender, reddish spots on the cuticle, beneath which the flesh begins to be a little soft. \ " What the resell will be, no one can tell. It may be hoped that some very late-crops will find cooler and more even weather, and so ma ture a fair crop of healthful tubers, just as wa/ the case last year ; although, as a genera it is undoubtedly true that earlvrjjjfted p o ta-' toes do best." The writer that he is attempting to renovatg—potato by obtaining new —nineties from the seed-balls, and also by importing tubers from Bogota, from New Grenada and Chili. From these he hopes to obtain seed-balls which Avill give a hardy variety not easHy affected by the blight. With regard to other plants originally na tives of the tropics and now cultivated in temperate climates, the writer describes the effect of the present season upon them in these words: "It may be observed, fbat tremcal plants have grown less vigorously than in some for mer years, but that, as there has been an ab sence of severe and sudden chills, ao the foliage -of these plants has not been diseased as much as in former years. The fruit of these plants has also suffered less than in former years. 1 now refer especially to cucumbers, melons of all sorts, summer squashes and beans. Toma toes show a strong tendency to the wet rot. The dry black induration upon this fruit, no ticed ki former years ia connection with the potato disease, has not yet been seen this year. The time has not yet come for some tropicaJ plants to show all the morbid indications to which they are liable, as their fiuit is not now (early in September) fully matured." If. the potato disease be merely the re sult of alternations of dry and wet wea ther, or of warm and cold, the wonder is that it has never appeared till late years. There has been but little more inconstancy of the weather observed in these respects during the present season than formerly. Changes from hot to cool, and cool to hot —seasons of fine, dry weather, alternating with profuse showers, belong to the char icter of our climate, but not more so now than twenty years ago, when we had no potato blight. Nor is there any change of elimatein England, in Ireland, or Belgium, or any other part of the continent, to which the prevalence of this disease may be at tributed. That changes from dry to wet may have an influence in developing the disease there is no occasion to deny, but it seems clear that some other cause not yet ascegained must co-operate with these cir ■.

Being situated in a very pleasant neighbor hood in the country, the pupils are removed from those templutions to idleness, dissipation and vice, which are the bane of similar institutions in town ; and the whole surrounding vicinity will vie wilti any place in the State for hcalthfulm-ss and for the high tone of morality per vading the community. The buildings, recently, have been greatly improved, and arc large, appropriate, and commodious, constructed according to the latest and most approved models <>•* school architecture, and are believed to combine all the essential requisites for the advantage and convenience of both learner and teacher. Pupils from a distance are re quired to hoard in the Academy with the principals ; but if it is desired by their parents, good boarding may be obtained in the neighborhood.

Tbey will both give their exclusive and undivided attention to Hie# pupils, and will also be assisted by other competenljimructora ; and they therefore hope to enjoy the confidence of the public, and to merit and receive a libterffshare of patron age.
