Exasctatiox—The letter of the Han. Hoar!
Clat, on the tubjeel o{ Slavery emancipation, in I
Kentucky, will be read with the deepest interest j
by every philanthropist and lover of hi* eonnoy.
Tbo anbjecl is one ol tb i greatest possible moment
ftsd the aotbor .commands the attention
hn!d s respect of the American people.
/ '£be great problem of the peaeefol; abohtion of
-.‘Slavery, and the removal of the aUyea from a.
'■Jhopgsi the while popaJatioo, is yet to be solved,
: : and- Anything which comes from eo distinguiihed
'.“*)y a scarce, bearing directly ch the subject, must be
' •' hailed with hnxiousmterWt. > Probably no man in
the coontry-fs in a bettet.situation to judge and
more capable of devising a mode which will
meet the views of moderate men from both sec
tions of the coontry, than Mr. Clay.
•As to the mode suggested by the distinguished
salesman—it may answer lor Kentucky, and is
probably the best which can-be adopted in the pro'
sent slats of the public miod m that common
wealth, if not the best which can be devised un
der any circumstances. Bat of its applicability to
the whole Union —which is the great matter—we
have onr doubts. Mr. Clay, however, does not
offer it except for Kentucky. Were that State alone
to engage in the work of emancipation, the work
may be accomplished on the plan suggested, as
the cupidity ol the slave owners would lead many,
if oot most of them, to sell their slaves oat of the
State before the scheme went Into effect, and the
removal of the remainder to Africa, daring s great
number of years, would be within the bounds of
probability. But the idea, that the whole slave
population ol the country, rapidly growing by na
tarsi increase, can ever be removed aero** the
. Atlantic, we think chimerical.
Good effects, however, will grow out of the au
tempt of adyone large Slave Stale to effect em
ancipation. The other slave States, in self-defence,
will most probably, in such cose, pass stringent
laws to prevent importation of slaves from sister
Slates. Thus confined in the more northern Slates,
slavery would soon"became an intolerable evil, and
the mre* active.. measures be taken to abolish it-
The New Cocictt P*ojzct.— The danger i»
now imminent that Allegheny County 1s to be
dismembered—shorn of her fair proportions—and
a portion of her population, against their own con

persist ia their mad projects of new county mak
ing, especially in this case, where so immense
majority of the people who are to set off from
their old attachments, ore bitterly opposed to it.—

Ohio, was sworn in the Senate, last Monday, to

He must have made a mental reservation in re
gard to a part of it, unless be has changed hu views
since 1813, when he offered the following resolu
tion at an abolition convention, in Columbus Ohio.

it in our conformity to the laws ol God, and our

giance to Him, in all our civil relations and offices,
whether as friends, citizens, or as public function

United States, to regard and treat the third clause

DxAßi Bm—Prior to my departure from boa*,
in December last, 1 behalf pf yourself and oUwr
friend*,;yon bbtmined from mb a-promiseto mate
a publie exposition oi my view* and opinion* up
on a grave ami important question, which, it vras
then anticipated, would be much debated and con
edered by the people of Kentucky, .during tnis
year, in consequence of the approaching tfonye*
tion summoned to amend their pre*efti -
lion. I waa not eoUreiy wall when I W f°“ c
sod owing to that cause, and myconnnemen
eral wttli, during my «0»'« “2“ i
the eflecla of an .coideut which hefcl me, 1 huTe
been dcleyed in the fnttlmenl <* “J framue,
which I now propose to execute. .
The question to which I allude is, whether Afri
can Slavery, aa it now stands m Kentndry , ahaU bo
left to a perpetual or indefinite conUtfuanoe, or
«,»» proSn BhnJl b. m.dc,,n ih. new Con,u.
,ta gradual m.d uhimarn
A tew general observations will snffiei for my
present pnrpnee, wilhoul cntcricgot. Urn whole
sobiect of Slavery, under all its bearings, and m
every aspect of it- lam aware that there are re
spectable person* who believe that slavery i» a
blessing; that the iasttation ought to exist In every
well organised society, and that it is evefi tevora
ble ro the preservation of liberty. Happily, the
number who entertain these extravagant opinion*,
is not very great, and the lime would be jjtaeleasly
occupied in an elaborate refutation o! them. I
would, however, remark, that If slavery be fribgbt
with these alleged benefits, the principieOT which
it is maintained, would require that one iortioo of
the white race should be reduced to bondage to
terve another portion of the same race, when black
subjects of slavery coaid oot be obtained, and that
in Africa, where they may entertain asgreai a pre-
Terence for their color as we do lor ount, lirpy would
be justified in reducing the white race to slavery,
in order to secure the blessings which thdi stats is
said !o diffuse.
An argument in Uvor of reducing the African
rt.ro to slavery, is sometimes derived from their
alleged intellectual inferiority to the white races;
but if this argument be founded in bet, (as it may
be, but which 1 shall not now examined it would
prove entirely 100 much. It would provp that any
white nation which had made greater advances in
civilization, knowledge and wisdom, than another
white nation, would have a right to reduce tbe
latter to a state of bondage. Nay, farther, if the
principle of subjugation founded upon intellectual
superiority be true, and be applicable to-races and
nations, what is to prevent its being applied to in
dividuals? And then the wisest men mi,the world
would have a right to make slaves of all (he re?t
of mankind.
It, indeed, we pos*?** tbia intellectual *upenoi
ty, profoundly grateful and thankful to'Him wbi
has bestowed it, we ought to fulfil all the obligation!
and datiea which it imposes and theae ; would re
quire *tx\ not to subjugate or deal udjaslly by oui
fellow men who are Jess blessed than we are, but
to instruct, to imprbve and to enlighten them.
A vast majority of the people or the D. Stales, id
every >ection of them, I believe, regret the mtr>
duction of slavery into the colonies, under the an
thority of oor British ancestors, lament that a single
slave treads our noil, deplar&lhe necesity oflbe con
tinuance of slavery in any of the States; regard the
institution as a great evil to both races, and would
rejoice in the adoption of any safe, just and praett
; cable plan for the re moral of all slaves from among
| us. Hitherto no such satisfactory plan has been
| preseoied. When,oatheoccasionoftheformaiioa
of our present Constitution of Kentucky, in 1799.
the question of the gradual emancipation of slavery
in that State was agitated, its friends had to ei
counter a great obstacle, in the fact that there then
existed no established colony to which they could
be transported.
Now, by the successful establishment flourishing
colonies on the western ooast of Africa, that diffi
culty has been obviated. And I confess, that, with
out indulging to any undue feelings ot supersiiUon.
it does seem to me that it may have been among
the dispensations of providence to permit the
wrongs, uoder which Africa has suffered, to be in
flicted that her children might be returned to their |
original borne,civilized, imbued with the benign 1
| spirit of Christianity, and prepared ultimately 10
i redeem that great Continent from barbarism and i
and idolatry. !
Without undertaking to judge far anjWJther slate,
it was my opinion in 1799 that Kentucky was in a i
condition to admit of emancipation cf
her slaves; and how deeply do I lament that a sys
tem, with that object trad not been then establish
ed! If it bad been, tbo Stale would now be nearly
rid of all slaves. Myopioionbss never changed,
and I have freqoeotly publicly expressed it I
should be most happy if what was impracticable at
that epoch could not be accomplished
After fall anddaiiberatoconßideraiioa ofthe sab
fed, it appears to me that three principles should
regulate the establishment of a system of gradual
emancipation. The flrst is, that u should be slow
in Us operatioo|csuteioas]y, and gradual; so as to
nwniim no convulsion; nor any rash or sudden
disturbance, in the existing habits of society, 'id-
That, os an indispensible condition, the emancipa
ted slaves should he removed from tbu Statu to
some Colony. And, thirdly, that the expenses of
their transportation to such Cqkmy, including on
ontflt for six mouths alter their afrivid at it should
be defrayed by a fund to be raised from the labor
of each freed slave.
Nothing could be more nowise lhaa tfce imme
diate liberation of ail the rlaves in the Stale, com- :
prehending both and all ages, from that ot
tender infancy to extreme old age. U would lead
to the most frightful and fatal consequence* Any
great change in the conduct of society should be
marked by extreme care and circumspection.—
The introduction cl slaves into the Colonies was
an operation of many years duration ;aod the work
of their removal from the United State* can only
be affected afier the lapse of a great length of time.
I think that a period should be fixed when all
born after should bo free at a specified age all
born before it remaining slaves for life. That peri
od l wouW.suggeet should be lS$5, or even 1&60 Ibr
on this add other arrangements of tbn system, if
adopted, l incline to a liberal margin, to as to pb
naie as*many objections, ood to unite as maey
opinions as possible Whether the coniraeoerornt
of the operation of the system be a little earlier or
later, is not so important as that a dap inould be
permanently Jisxd, from which we could look for
ward, with confidence, to the final termination of
slavery within the limits ofthe Commonwealth.
Whatever may be the day fixed, whether 1555
or 1680 or any other day; ail born after it, I suggest
should be free al the age of twenty five but be lia
ble afterwards to be hired out. under the authority
of the State, for a term not exceeding three years
in order to raise a sum sufficient to pay the expen
ses of their transportation to the Colony and to
provide them an outfit for six months after their |
arrival there. .
If the descendants of those who were ibero
<el»es to be free, at the age of twenty five, were
also to be considered as slaves until they attained
the same age, and this rule were continued indefi
nitely as to time, it is manifest that slavery would
he perpetuated instead o( being terminated To
guard against this consequence, provision might
be made that iht offspring of those who were to
be free at twenty five, should be free from thmr
birth, bat upon the condition that they sboold be
apprenticed until they were twenty one and be
also afterwards liable to be hired out, a period not
exceeding three years for the purpose of raising
funds to meet the expenses to the Colony andibeir
subsistence for the first six months.
The Pennsylvania system of emancipation fixed
the period of twenty eight for the liberation of the
ilaves, and provided, or the Courts bnve since
interpreted the system to mean, that the issue of a 1!
who vrere to be free at the, limited age, were from
their births free. The Pennsylvania system made
no provision for Colonization.
Until the commencement of the gyntein which I
am endeavoring to sketch. I ibmk oil the legal
rights of the proprietors of slaves, in their fullest
extent, ought to remain uniropairedaml unrestrict
ed. Consequently they would nave the right
to sell, devise, or remove them from the State,
and in the latter case, without their oflspriog being
entitled to the benefit of emancipation, for wh.ch
the system provides.
2d. The Colonization of the free bUcks, as they
successively arrive, from year to year, at the sge
entitling them to freedom, I consider a condition
absolutely indispeusible. Without it,.l should be
utterly opposed to any scheme of emancipation.
One hundred and ninety odd thousand blacks,
composing about one-fourth oflbe entire population
of the State, with their descendants could never
iive in peace, harmony,and equality with the resi
due of the population The color, passions and
prejudices would forever prevent the two races
from living together in a state of cordial union.
Social, moral and political degradation would be
the inevitable lot ottbe colored race. Even in the
free Sates (1 use the terms free and slave States
not in any eenae derogatory from one class, or im
plying any superiority in the other, but for the soke
of brevity) that is their present condition. In some
of those free Stales the penal legislation against the
pebple of color inquite as severe# not harsher, than
ilis in aome'et the slave Slates As no where in
the United States are amalgamation and equality
between the two races possible, ft i* better that there
should he a separalioib&nd that the African descen
dants should be returned to the native land oftheir
father*.,, '? , , , ~
It wiil have been seen that the plan I have sue
reeled proposes the annual transportation of all

ulned ihe age of twenty-eigbl, it would be about
thirty-four year* before the firat ennhdi tranaporta
lion began, if the system xommence in loan, and
about ihiity-oroe year*, if its operation be S* D ,Q
IS \Vhai the number thus to be annually transport*
ed would be, cannot he precisely ascertained. 1
observe it slated by the Auditor that the increase
of slave* in Kentucky last year, was lietween three
and four thousand. But, as that statement waa
made npou a comparison of the aggregate number
of B u iho slaves to the State, without regard to
births It does not, I presume, exhibit truly the
natural mcrease, which was probably larger—
The aggregate was effected by the introduction
and itill more by the exportation of elaves. I sup
pose that there would not be leas, probably more,
1 than five thousand to be transported the first year
of the operation of the system; hut, ’after u was In
progress some years, there would be a conaUnt di*
minniion ofthe number.
! Would it be practicable an n cal Ik to transport five
I thousand persona from Kentucky* There cannot
1 be a doubt of it, or even a much larger number,
i We receive from Europe annually emigrants to an
amountcxceedbg two hundred and fifty thousand,
at a cost foythe passage; of abend ten dollars per
bead, and they embark' al European pons more
nt from the Doited Stales than tbe Western
coast of Africa. U Is truo that lha commercial
marine, employed between Europe and V, j
Btaie* affoids tedliiies, in the transportation of em»-
granta,at the low rale, which that eogaged is the
commerce between Libenai’and this country does
DOinpply; butflhat commerce ii increasing, and
by the tune tbesproposed system, tf adopted would
go ia& operatidn, it will have gTeatly augmented.
If there .were ot the annual transporta
tion of net ieasshan five thousand persona to Afri
ca, it would create a demand for transports, and
the spirit of competition would, 1 have no doubt,
greatly dimio imbibe present cost of the passage.
Thai cost has been stated, upon good authority, to
be at present fifty dollars per head, Including the
passage, anji six months outfit alter ibe arrival of
ihe emigraal *« Airica. Whatever may be the
and wbaißver the number to be transported,
the fund to be faised by the hire of the liberated-
slave, for a period not exceeding three years will
be amply sufficient—The annual hire, on tbo aver
age, may be estimated at fifty dollar*, or one hun
dred and fifty far the whole term.
will be attended with the pamfol
effect of the separation of the cobniata from their
parenta, and]-in some inatancea from their
children, but frjsm the latter it will be' only tempo
rary, as they still follow and be again re-unlted.—
Tbeir separation from their parents will not be un
til after they have attained a mature age, nor great
er than voluntarily take* place with emigrants from
Europe, who leave tbeir parenta behind. It will
be far less dt&freasing than what frequently occur*
in the state of 'slavery, and will be attended with
the that the colonist*
are tracuferreff from a land of bondage and degra
elation (br-'ibeni, to a land of liberty and equality/
Aod 3d* Tbp expense of transporting the libera
ted slavrfjto (be colony, and of maintaining him
there (or px rfonlhs, I think, ought to be provided
for by a fdnd derived from hia labor, in the manner
already indicated. He it the party moat henefltted
by emancipation. It would not be right to subject
the non-iVaveholdar to any part of that expense;
and the slaveholder will have made anffictent sac
rifices,- tfUhoqt being exclusively burtbeoed with
taxes io raise that fund The emancipated slaves
could foe hired out for the ume proposed, by the
Sheriff or oth£r public agent, in each county, who
should be subject to strict accountability. And it
would be requisite that there should be kept a re-*
gister of all births of all children of color after the |
day fixed for the commencement of the system, en*
forced by appropriate sanctions. It would be a
very desirable regulation of law to have the births,
deaths and ninrriflgea, of the whole population of
the Stale registered and preserved, aa is done in
'most well governed Stales.
Among other considerations which unite m re
commending to the State of Kentucky a system for
the gradual abolition of Slavery, is that arising om
of her exposed condition, affonliog great facilities
lo the escapeiof her slaves into the free Stales and
nlo Canada; She does not enjoy the security
'hich some Of ihe slave States have, by being cov-
ered m depth by tvo or three slave Slates, iote
veiling between them and tree States. She has a
greater length of border on free Slate* than any
other slave Slate in the Union. That border is the
Ohio River, extending from the mouth of Big San
dy, to the mouth of the Ohio, a distance of near
six hundred miles, separating her from the already
powerful and growing States of Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois Vo|t numbers of slaves have fled from
most of the in Kentucky from the mouth
of "Big Sandy to the mouth of the Miami, and the
evil has 'jckeased. and is increasing. Attempt*
to recover the fugitives lead to the most painful
and irritating collisions. Hitherto, conntenanee
and assistance to the fugitives have been chiefly
a Horded in the State of Ohio; but it is to be appre
hended, from the progressive opposition tosiavery
that, in process of time, similar facilities to the es
cape of slaves will be found in the States of ladi»
ana and Illinois. By means of rail roads, Canada
caii be reached from Cincinnati ic a little more than
twenty four iliourf.
In the event of a civil war breaking out. or in the
more direful event of a dissolution of the Union,
m consequence of the existence of slavery. Kens
lucky would'JMcome the theatre and bear the brunt
of lbs war. ; She would dunbilcsa defend herself
with her known valor and gallantry; bat the *upe«.
•nonty of tbd numbers by which the would
po»ed would lay waste and devastate her fair helot.
Her sister slave States would fly to her succor, but
even if they should be successful In the unequal
conflict, she never could obtain any indemnity tor
the inevitable ravages of the war.
It may be urged that we ought not, by tbe gradual
abolition of slavery, »o separate ourtelves from the
other slave States, bat continue to share with them
in all tbeir future fortunes. The power of each
slave State, witbio its limits, over tbe institution of
alaverv.o absolute,supreme and exelu-ive—exein
sire of that cf Congress or that of any other Sialii
The governtupot of each slave Stale is hound by
tbe highest and most solemn obligations to dispose
of tbe question of slavery sons be*t to promote
tbe peace, happiness and prosperity of the people
ot tbe Slate Kentucky being e&seutiahy a tar©*
ing State slave tabor is leas profitable. If In moist 1
of tbe other>lave Stales, they find that labor more
profitable, in tbe culture of tbe tuple of cotton and
sugar, theyimav perceive a reason in that feeling
for continuing slavery, which cannot be expected
»bould control the judgment of Kentucky, tto
what may be fitting and proper for bef interest*.-*
If she should abolish slavery, it would be her du
ty. and l trust that she would be a* ready, a* aim
now is to jlefend the slave States in the enjoy
ment of all their lawful and constitution a! rights -**•
Her power,,-political and physical would be great
ly increased; for the one hundred, and nmety odd
thootan'd slaves and tbeir descendant*, would be
gradually superseded by an equal number oi white
inhabitant*,i wh > would be estimated per capitt,
and uot by ihe leucral rule of three-fifths presented
for the colored rare in the Conalilotton of tbe Uni
ted Stales.-
l have thus, without reserve, freely expressed
any opinion and presented my views. Tbe inter
eating subject of which l have treated would have
admitted of much enlargement, but I hare desired
to consult brevity. Tbe plan which l have pro
posed, w-.1l hardly be accused of being 100 early
in it* cotnajenceroeni. or 100 rapid in its operation
It will be bore likely to meet with contrary re
proaches If sdopied, it is io begin thirty-four or
thirty-nine years from the ume of its adoption, a*
the one period or the other shall be "‘elected for its
commencement How long a time it will take to
remove all tbe colored rac* from the State by the
aonual transportation of each year's natural so
crease, cannot be exactly ascertained After the
system baa been in operation some years, 1 think
it tbe manifest blessings that would
Aow from It, from the diminished valor of elave
labor, and from the humanity and benevolence of
private individual* prompting a liberation of tbeir
slaves and'ibeir transportation, a general disposi
tion would exist to accelerate and complete the
work oY colonization.
That the system will be aUeaded witti some
sacrifice* oh the part of slaveholder*, which are to
be regretted, need not be denied. What gTeal and
beneficial enterprise was ever accomplished with
out risk aed sacrifice’ Bat these sacrifices are
distant, contingent nnd inconsiderable. Assuming
the year 1 Sl3o for tbe commencement of the system,
all .slaves torn prior lo that time would remain
such during their lives, and tue personal loas of the
slaveholder would be only the difference in value
of a whose offspring, if she had any,
born after the Ist day of January, 1660, should be
free at tbe)age oftwenty-five, or should be slaves
for life. Iff the mean time, if the right to remove
or cell the slave out of the Stale, should bo exer

After a day of labor and intense fatigue, 1 shall
not attempt to give yon a particular sketch of the
interesting and gratifying ceremonies of inaugur*,
lion. Everything has gone off in the best possible
mauner The enthusiasm with which General
Taylor was greeted at every atep of hit progress
to and from the Capitol, and while there, most have
tilled him with feelings of proud satisfaction, equal
led only by (bote with which he saw his army
saved and the fame of hia country vindicated, by
the retreat of Saola Anna at Buena Vista, on the
23rd of February, 1647. For two days past, the
streets have been crowded by respectable and in
telligent looking citiaeni from other places, many
of whom, were unable to find even beds; but the
morning-trains and other meant of conveyance -
brought the throng to its point of culmination at
about eleven to-day The procession escorting
General Taylor from hia lodgings to the Capitol,
passed through a mass of solid humanity for one
mile, Otten was the carriage obliged to step, in
order that the enthusiasm of the spectator* might
be gratified by a more ample survey of the features
of the old chieftain. He bore hia hooors modestly
and graceful as ever—riding through a sprinkling
of a snow storm with uncovered head, and bowing
on every side with a manner that showed unaffect
ed pleasure at these testimonials oi popular ap
plause.
Of course your readers have read the-address.
It is in admirable contrast Vith thefnanife»to of
Mr. Polk on a parallel occasion, when be vaonted
of his intention to support the '‘dear end nnques'

Oregon”—a patriotic flourish, the meaning of which
was Qluairated to hiaaudilors some eighteen months
after, by the surrender of half of it to the British

took the oath; and the ceremonies were conducted
with a brevity as noticeable as that of the Inaugu
ral Address. The procession 'started at a quarter
to twelve. The carriage containing the President
and Ex-President effected a passage through the
crowds m the neighborhood of the Capitol at about
hai£paat twelve. He appeared on the.temporary
staging erected at the east front of the building, at
a quarter to one. His addresf yas and
the ceremonies were concluded at one o’clock.
The President and bis family willestablish them-
selves in the White House to-morrow. In the
time, the grand and magnificent festivities of
this{ evening occupy all minds. They are the de
lightful and appropriate winding up ot the lasugu
rifjpelebrauoos. There arc three grand balls given
ttfitighl, in commemoration of the occasion One
is ftat regularly set on foot and managed by the
friends of General Taylor, who secured
bßt’clecuon. It ta held in a butidiug provided ibr
t&t'purpose adjoining the City Hull- The ball at

CCLTITBE AHD POKBEAVA7IOV OF
POTATOES.
Having the present year, notwithstanding the
severe drought, succeeded in growing and preserv
ing a fine and health} crop of potatoes, 1 have de
cided to famish yoa with an account of the cir
cumstances under which they were produced, and
my opinion relative, thereto, for insertion in your
journal, should you deem tl worthy cf a place there
in.
About the first of May, I planted five acres m the
following manner; the soil was a dry. micaceous,
sandy Inara, gradually rolling, with a southern ex
posure; the seed used was both white and purple
Mercers, principally large ones cut into three pie
ces, and roiled in gypsum, and allowed to lie but a
few hours after cutting. The field was an old sward,
chiefly of moss and garlics; the manure applied was
entirely (row the yard made from the cow and horse
stables and the sties, about tweuty-five two-horse
. loads per acre, spread broadcast before the plough
—the >and having been heavily limed several years
previous. & The planting process commenced wuh
the Ullage, by dropping the pieces of the tubers,
(prepared as above,) about one foot apart, in the bot
tom of every other farrow, which was five inches
in depth and ten inches wide, strewing them with
ashes and fine charcoal, (from a locomotive, in
which pine wood was consumed 1 about twenty
bushels per acre The ploughing was performed
m the usual manner, in lands of twenty-five yards
.each.
Immediately alter planting the ground was thori
oughly rolled. After it hud lain a lew days, it re
ceived repealed harrowing*, lengthwise of the fur
rows, in the warm part of the day, which was con
tinued cnul the lops were three inches in height,
after which they remained without Ullage until they
were some eight inches high, when the culuvaior
was parsed through, between tho rows, and the
weeds, if any, removed. They iben received a
-light top dressing of gypsum, after which they re
mained untouched until fit to harvest, which was
done as soon as the skins of the new tubers were
firmly set, but before ail the- tops were entirely
dead. Wo began to dig about the first of Septem
ber, before the autumnal rains commeoced. They
were placed in a cool, dark cellar, and spread on
the ground door, about eighteen inches thick,
where they remained for two months, when they
were assorted BDd placed in bins about four
fret deep, these to remain until marketed m the
spring- They have so far kept perfectly, there
being no visible traces 6f disease in the cadre
crop.
The yield was about two hundred and fifty bush
els per acre, which was a much greater product
than 1 anticipated on account of the ‘excessive
drought The whole expense of the tillage of this
crop did uc t exceed four centi per bushel, inde
pendent of the planting and burvestiug, which cost
not less than ten cents per bushel, making the ag
gregate cost of producing the live aores iincludiug
the seed, eighty bushels, at eighty cents per bushel)
two hundred and thirty-nino dollars. Potatoes of
the tonality of mine .ire now worth eighty cents per
bushel in Philadelphia market, which would make
the net value of the crop sevott hundred and sixty-
one dollar* Truly, ibis is not so lucrative as some
of ihe miners of California have represented the
raising of gold to be; nevertheless, I think the Mer
cers, well roasted, set quite as well upon an empty
stomach os gold ore, and, judging from the effort
produced upon the morals and customs of the na
tions iu which the precious metals nre found
most abundant. I much prefer being classed with
the cultivator than the miners. —American Agri

Thx Ctn.Ttv*Tio:» or nu Potato.—My own
experiments of eight year* with the potato have
very much encouraged me to continue the atiernate
culture of sefld and its seedlings,with careful selec
lions.
• The process does materially improve the potato
in new and excellent varieties —in health and pro
ductiveness. At ibe same Ume much depends for
success upon a proper situation and preparation of
soil, manner of cultivation, time of planting, lifting,
and good storage.
Good upland soil, deep thorough plowing, early
planting—-with well cultivated approved seedling
varieties, iu shallow drills, early weeding light bill
ing, early lifting, nnd dry airy storage, doe- more
for the redemption of the potato from disease, than
all the nostrums the world cau devise.
Potato seed, though it produces generally several
different varieties in its seedlings, will not lie likely
to produce varieties or qualities with which it has
no connection. If new and choice varieties* be ex
pected Irora sowing the seed, care should be taken
to obtain seed from good vtrialies, or in the imme
diate neighborhood o| li t same.
Seed from the balls will transmit from a dxeased
stock, in some degree, that disease to its seedlings

Advajctaoxs or Thouocgu Drainage.—Drain
ing, as understood thirty years ago tn England (and
to this day with usj merely meant the making of
channels to carry off the surface water and under
ground drams to dry bogs, or cut off springs It
has now an entirely different meaning in the agri
cultural world Mr Smith of Deanslon. near Ed
inburgh, was among the first to practico and explain
“thorough draining," os it is called. Hit system is
that ail land requires to be drained—-that the depth
of loam or soil containing Jhe food of plants seldom
exceedsa lew inches, resting on subsoil, or pau of
clay, or hard gravel, saturated with water. By
making drams from two and a half to five Icet
in deptb.at even twenty or thirty led. the land be
comes dry, air takes the place of water, every
shower, furnished with a slock of ammonia, per
meates the soil, end the result is. that instead of a
few inches there are &s many feet of fertile loam,
the action of the atmosphere being sufficient of
itself to produce the change; although, to hasten
the process, subsoil plowing is made part oi the
system.
The change produced by the introduction of tho
rough draining in Britain ii raid to be truly aston
ishing. Not only has the produce been greatly
increased, but wheat nnd turnip* b&vc been grown
at elevations and in districts where their cultiva
tion was not before thought possible. Hy if crops
have been rendered less liable to disease. aod
harvest has been forwarded a month. This will
be belter understood if wr reflect, that, when wa
ter is allowed to remain in the soil until removed
by evaporation, the bent of the sun and a-r, instead
of being imparted to tfie.lnud, will actually, through
the process, produce ah intense degree of cold.—
On the other hand, were the soil *0 dry a* 10 allow
the rsiu to pass through, it would imbibe heat from
every ray that fell upon it.
The British Government has considered this im
[Movement of so great importance, that, during the
ast three years, large sums have been loaned to
all applicants, to be expended la drainage, under
superintendence u( inspectors. These loans are
repaid by annual instalments of six and a hall per
cent, for about tweaty yearn; and as the money is
borrowed by government at three per cent, these
payments cancel the loan and interest— HoUrt
