I rose and addressed the General, entirely forgetting the dffiercnco of our age and yank. All timidity had vanished. I know not what I said, but for five minutes I pleaded earnestly for my life. The General fidgetted with the furlough in his hand, and his eyes glistened, hut be hoard me patiently. When I had said all, his face was turned from Me; and I sat down. He made no reply until my heart began to'Sink “Then to, spoke, in a somewhat changed voice, slowly and hesitatingly—' I'll sign it— I'll sign it, my, lad, but you must promise not to tell any one.

I reached homey AGRICULTURAL. DRAINAGE. A very great improvement in the agricul ture • of our country, which will be generally adopted from the practice of the Old World, is "Drainage." In almost every State ex tensive tracts of swamp-lands aro found, not only unfit for cultivation,' but, in many in stances, by reason of noxious effluvia - arising from stagnant water, they are prejudicial to health. Largo grants of these lands have been made by Congress,DOra the public domain, gratuitously, to the States in which they lie, upon the idea that they "were not only worth less to the Government, but-dangerous-to the health of, the neighboring inhabitants, .with the 'hope that .thti state Governments might -take measures to reclaim them for cultivation, or, at least, render them harmless, by, the re moval of their surplus water. It is' ascertained, - by inquiry at the Land Office, tthatmore than 52,000,000 acres of swamp and that, lands have been selected under the acts of March 2d, 1849, and Sep feinber 28th, 1850, from the dates of those grants to September, 1856; and it is estimated that; when the grants shall have been sttirely adjusted, they will amount to 60m00,000 acres. Governor Wright, of Indiana, In a public address ' estimated the marshy lands of' that State at 2,000,000 acres. "These lands," he say,S, "were generally avoided by early set tlers, as being comparatively worthless; but, when drained, they become eminently - fertile." Ile further says: "I know a farm of one hun dred' and sixty acres, which was sold five years ago 'for $5OO, that by an expenditure of less than $2OO, in draining and ditching, has ' been so improved, that the owner has refused for it an offer of $3,000." At the meeting of the United States Agri cultural Society, at Washington, in January, 1657, Mr. G. W. P. Castle spoke, in connec tion with Abe great importance of this,sub ject, of the vast quantities of soil—the richest conceivable—now lying waste ' to thneittent of 100,000 _acres, Mang, the banks of the Lower Potomac, and which he denominates by the 618 Virginia title of potoson. The fer tility of. this reclaimable swamp he reports to be astonishing; and he bas corroborated the '"opinion by experiments which confounded every beholder. "These lands on our time honored river," ho says, "if broUght into use, world 'ttepply. provisions - at half the present cost, and Would, in 'other respects, prove of the greatest advantage." In the Southern States, we have extensive tracts of swamps, inaccessible to all but alli gators, Indians, and' ftigitives, which' render, at certain seasons, the very air of,healen pes tilential. In the New England States, also, in every county, there is a 'considerable propor tion of bogs and wet meadows; among °Ur almost barren hills; into which 'the. , uplands have for.centuries Poured. treasures pf fertili ziug-elements, but which are given- °vet to desolation by reason'of too much cold water. Again, all, our Atlantic coast, and Ihr l , np the navigable rivers, are vastfracte of salt marshes, or flat-lands, abounding in fertility, overflowed, qcime of them regularly, and others occasionally, •by, the ocean. tides. These marshes, with some costof ditching; produce what is called "salt-hay," which la cut with great labOr at low tides; and generall)r stacked where it groWs, upon stakes driven for the pur pose. It is valued and usually sold at about ' half the price of the best upland meadow-hay, , and mixed:with other fodder, is eaten by cat ' tle 'which can get nothing bettet; abd.some 7 times' by way of a eondiment even by cattle that aro, well fed. It has been doubted by • many, - whether, this-salt-hay is welt(' the Cost of cutting, or; in other words; whether the la bor requisite to ditch the truirsheS, and cat; cure, and bald the hay, could pot be'more pro fitably applied to other branches of Jim labor. . By - Many eliporintents; on a, small sdale, in this country, it , has, been proVed that these salt marsh lands, aft-0 thn,tidealiaire bedn kept out ' ortheni a few years, arenxtremelyeerille,and, beteg free from stelaea and other obstructions, are easily cultivated,: and ao'arelikdly, - when a• - s . ,systematic mode- of reclairalbgthetn shall be adoPted, to 'prov6 a MOO, -Valuable acquisition. to our farmers upon the oceitii'sheres.-- Along our rivers and streams, in every part of the country, are large tracts of low, flat lands, flooded in times of freshets, and at all times tilled with cold or • stagnant water, and are nearly or quite unproductive. In New England, on almost all the streams, and at the outlets - of the lakes and ponds, are,daras, for the use of sawmills, gristmills, and factories t and the interior lakes arc ,used as reservoirs to keep back water for the, use of the mills in time of drought. By these obstructions to the na tural flow of the streams, thousands of acres of the most valuable lauds in this sectiou aro ren dered- worse than tideless ; for the water is kept up till•midsunitnet, and' drawn off when a dog- day. climate is just ready to convert, the rich and slimy sediment of the pond into' pestilen tial' vapors. This same evil has attracted at tention itiScothuid. "In many palls of this country," says a Scottish writer, "small lochs (lakes) and dams are kept up for the sake of mills under old tenures, which, if drained, the land-gained by that operation, would, in many instances, be worth ton times the rent of such mills." • These swamps, ponds and stagnant mea doWs, might all be drained, and afford vast tracts of easy and fertile lands, equal to the bottom-lands of the West; and they are right by; doors of young men who leave sheir homes with regret, because the rich land of far-off now States offers temptations which their native soil cannot present.' Now, while we should never advoeate any attack upon the rights of mill-owners, or ask them to sacrifice their interest to those of agriculture, it surely is proper to call attention to the injury whick the productive capacity of the soil is suffering, by the flooding of, our best tracts, in sections of the country where land is most valuable. Could not the mill-owners, in many instances, adopt ate= instead of water-power, and, be coming. land-draining companies, instead of land-drowning companies, at least let Nature have free' course with' her gently-flowing riv ers, and allow the promise to be fulfilled, that the earth shall be no more cursed with a flood ? ; per the' reclaiming of salt-marshes and of - flats npon,our rivers, as Well as for the draining of lakes and ponds, a thorough 'knowledge, of the proper - methods of constructing embank ments is requisite. This belongs, however, to a branch of the science of engineering, above the practice of , the common agriculturist, and beyond the scope:of the design of this article. To show • the practicability of, condneting operations of draining, not only ormarshes, but even - of extensive lakes, in such manner as to- repay,hy the land reclaimed, the ex penses of the process, no ,better Illustration is' required than the draining of Haarlem Lalte, - aii account o(Which is given at large in the Agricultural Report s of the Patent Office for 1855. - - tUittea anb IN4uors.

These lands were granted by the Government to aid in the oonstruotion of this Road, and are among the richest and moat fertile In the world. They extend from North-East and North-West, through the middle of the State, to the extreme South, and include every variety of climate ami productions found between those parallels of latif.Ude. The Northern portion is chiefly prairie, interspersed with fine groves, and in the middle and Southern sections timber predominates , alternating with beautiful prairies and openings. The climate is more healthy, mild and equable, than any other part of the country—the air is pure and bra cing, while living streams and springs of excellent water abound. Bituminous Coal is extensively mined and supplies a cheap and desirable fuel, being furnished at many points at $2 to $4 per ton—and wood can be had at the same rate per cord. Building Stone of excellent quality ales abounds, which can be procured for little more than the expense of transportation. The great fertility of these lands, which area black rich mould, from two to five feet deep, and gently roll log; their contiguity to this road, by which every tad lity is tarnished for travel and transportation to the principal markets North, South, East, Vi'est, and the economy with which they can be cultivated, render them the most valuable Investment that can be found, and present the most favorable opportunity for persons of industrious habits and small means to acquire a com fortable independence Ina few years. Chicago is now the greatest gram market in the world; and the facility and economy with which the products of these lands can bo transported to that market, make them much more profitable, at the prices asked, than those more remote at government rates, as the addi tional cost of transportation is a perpetual tax on the latter, which moat be borne by the producer, in the re duced prim: he receives for his grain, ha. That itie in perfect—and when the final payments are made, deeds are executed by the trustees appointed by the State, and in whom the title is vested, to the per chasers, which convey to them absolute titles in fee Am ple, free and clear of ewery incumbrance, lien or mort gage. The prices are from $6 to $2O: interest only 3 per ct. Twenty per ot. will be deducted from the price for cash. Those who purchase on long credit, give :totes payable in two, three, four, five and six years after date, and are required to improve one-tenth annually for five yearn, so es to have one-half the land undo: cultivation at the end of that time. Competent surveyors will accompany those who wish to examine these Lands, free of charge, and aid them in making selections. The Lands remaining unsold are as rich and valuable as those whioh have been disposed of. EMOTIONAL MAPS Will be Bent to any one who will enclose fifty ante in postage stamps, and books or pamphlets containing nn meroua Instances of successful farming, signed by re spectable and well known farmers living in the neigh borhood of the Railroad Lando, throughout the State— edso the coat of fenolug, price of cattle, expense of har vesting, threshing, etc.,—or any ether Information— will be cheerfully given on application either personally or by letter, in English, lirench, or German, addressed to , JOHN WILSON.
