irniinirrrnre of lUadji ngto n
The revolution was over. Eight years' con
flict had ceased, and the warriors were now to
separate forever, turning their- weapons into
plough-shears and their camps into workshops.
The spectacle, though a sublime and glorious
one, was yet attended with sorrowful feelings;
for alas! iu the remains of that gallant army
of patriotic soldier, now about to disband with
out pay, without support, stalked poverty and
disease. Tho country had not the means to be
grateful.
. .
ft-NJ:DARBY
The details of the condition of many of the
officers and soldiers of that period, according
to history and oral tradition - were melancholy
in the extreme. Posses ing no means of patri
monial inheritanc4 to full back upon—thrown
out of even the perilous support or the doldier
at tho commedcement of winter, and hardly fit
for any . .other titit3 but that of the camp—•
their situation can better belmagitied than
described.
A single instance, as a sample of the situa
tion of many of the officers, as related of the
conduct of Baron Steuben, may not he amiss.
When the main body of the army was disband
ed at Newburg, and the veteran soldiers were
bidding a parting farewell to each other, Lieut.
Col. "Cochran, an aged soldier of the New
Hampshire line, remarked with , tears in his
eyes as he shook hands with the Baron:
"For myself 1 could stand it: but my wife
end daughters are in the garret of that wretch
ed tavern, and,l have no means of removing
them."
"Conit come," said the Baron, " d on't give
way thus. I will pay my respects to Mrs. Co
'chran and her daughteis."
When the good old soldier left. them, their
countenances were warm with 'gratitude—for
be left them all he had.
In ono of the Rhode Island regiments were
several companies of black troops, who had
served through the whole war, and their bra
very and discipline was unsurpassed. The
uaron observed one 'of these poor ,negroes on
therbarf at Newburg, apparently in,great dis
tress.
44 What is ihe matter, brother soldier ?"
Why, Master Baron, I wanin dollar to get
home with, now the Bonus his no further
WO for me."
The Baron woe absent for a few monente
and then returned with a silver dollar, wide!
..to had borrowed.
4. There it's all I could get. Take it."
• • • The negro took it with joy, hailed a sloop
which was passing down the river to New York,
and as he reached the deck, took off hie hot
and enid—
“God bless you, 'Master Baron !”
These are only single illustrations of the
army at the close of the war.. Indeed Wash
ington bad this view at the close of his farewell
address to the army at Rocks Hill, in Novem
ber,' 1783. "And now being about to conclude
these his las't publio orders to bike his ultimate
leave in a short time of the military chorfitter
and to bid a final adieu to the armies he has
so long had the honor to command, he can
only again offer, in their behalf his recommen
dations to their country, sad his prayer to the
God of armies.

"With these othbeii end this benediction,

CLOSE OF THE REVOLUTION.
nelf woe put in motion,_oud marched down
'Broad street to Francis' tavern, his hcad•quar-
ters. Ile wished to take leave of private sol
diers as well ns officers, and hid them all adieu.
Ilia favorite light infantry were drawn up in
line facing inwards, 'through Pearl street at
the foot of Whitehall, where a barge was' in •
readiness to convey him ti 'Powell's Hook.
Within the dining room of the tavern were
'gathered the general and field officers to take
their farewell.
Assembled there w' re Knox, Greene, Clin
ton, Steuben, Gates and others, whetted served
with him faithfully in the "tented field ;""but
alas! where weraothers that had entered the
war with him reran-years before? Their
bones crumbled in the soil from 'Canada to
Georgia. Montgomery had yielded up fe
at Quebec, Wooster fell at Ganbry, Woodhitll
was barbarously murdered while a prisoner at
th'e battle of Long Island, and Mercer fell mor
tally wounded at. Princeton; the brave. awl'
chiValrio Laurens, after displaying the most
heroic courage in the trenches of Yorktown,
died in a‘-trifling skirmish In South .Carolina ;
the brave but eccentric Lee was no longer liv
ing, and Putnam, like` a helpless child, was
stretched upon the bed of sickness. Indeed,
the battle-field and time had thinned the ranks
which had entered with him on the conflict of
Independence.
Washington entered the room—the hour of
separation had coin°. As ho raised his eye
and glanced on the 'faces of those resembled,
a tear coursed down his cheek, and his vele°
was tremulous as he saluted them. Nor mitt
he alone.—Men, "albeit unused to the melting
mood," stood around him, whose hands uplif
fed to cover their brows, told that the tears
which they in vein attempted to conceal, be
spoke the anguish they could not hide.
After a moment's conversation, Washington
called for a glass ofwhn. It was brought io
him. Turning to the officers, he thus addres
eed them;
With a heart fall of love nod gratitude, I
now take my final leave of you, and I most
devoutly wish your latter days may he as pros
perous and happy as yOur former ones have
been glorious and honorable." Ile then raised
his glass to his lips, and added, "t cannot
come to each of you to take my leave, but shall
be obliged to you if each of you will take me
by the band." • .
Genoial Knox, who stood nearest, burst into
tears and advanced, incapable of utterance.—
Washington grasped him by the band; and
embraced-him. The officers came up success
ively, and tuok en affectionate leave. Ns
words were spoken, but all :was the "silent.
elegance of tears." What were Mere words
in such a scone.? Nothing. It was the feel
ing of the heart—thrilling though unspoken.
When the last officer had embraced him,
tilashington left the room, followed by his
comradek, and passed through the line of light
infantry.—llia step was slow and measured,
hisltead uncovered, and tears flowing thick
r
and fast, as he loooked irons side td side at the
veterans to whom he now badh adieu for ever.-
Shortly en event occurred more touching than
all the rest A gigantic soldier who had stood
by his side nt Trenton, stopped forth from the
ranks, and extended his hand.
"Farewell, my beloved General, Farewell."
WAshiugton grasped his'hand. in tionvolsive,
emotion, in both of his. All discipline was
now at an end. The officers could upt restrain
the men as they rushed forward to take Wash
ington by the hand, and the violent sobs and
tears of the soldiers told how deeply engraved
upon their affections was the love of their
commander.
At length Washington reached Mir barge at
Whitehall, and entered it At the first stroke
of the oars he rose, and turning to the oompen•
ions of his glo'ry, Vwriving his'hat bade them
a silent adieu. Their answer was only in
tears; and the officers and men, with glisten
ing eyes, watched the receding boat till the
form of. their noble commander witslest sight

this to make any claim upon your gratitude?
No, gentlemen, in giving utterance to these
solemn and profound emotions—for they are
solemn, since they are not often evoked but
upon serieus oconsibits like the present; they
are profound, for they came from the very bet

more than thie, much more easily 'conceived
than spoken, I merely state that in fulfilling
your service I have fulfilled my own personal
pleashre ! I have sought no other reward; I
"cipeoted none ; I wished fur none.
Nevertheless, gentlemen, when I look upon
the superb candelabra before me--a candelabra
of fourteen branches--I beg to assure you that
I shall again and again, ia.tlte deep midnight,

APPROACHING REVOLUTION IN
AGRICULTURE
Among the ne* lights which have of bite
broken in npon : the ,mlnds of those who lead
the van in thosciernie of agriculture, there is
none more interesting than'that, which seems
to for stow the possibility of producing crops
without manure. To make dame Nature yield
up her bounties with but little artifinial oasis
, tancol o ms long been ainongthe dreams of phi
losophers; andirow we have, indications that
the dreams are to give place to realities. NO
result could be more opportune, if as some po
litical ecenomists assert, agriculture afford's
far greater means and resources for the well
being of a population thantradboispecielly
when made use of in reformatorfpnyposes
The fact, they say, would have been demon
strated long ago if agriculture had 'only had
fair play. • Well, it has now got fair play, and ,
is finding energy for improvements and exper
iments, whicff are gradually leading to a solo-,
lion of great questions, and to results very
different from those imagined by theorists.—
Let us take a brief survey of the investiga
tion; it is something mere than more dry
reading :
Everybody knows that there are fifty:five or
fifty-six elements - .which Make up the mineral
world, and only four of which are concerned
in the vegetable world—namely, hydrogen.
exygen, carbon, and nitrogen or azote. If we
knew precisely when, whore, and how plants
obtain their supply of these elements, our the
ory of agriculture would' be complete, and
there would remain only the pleasure and
profit of reducing it to practice. But we' are
as yet on the threshold only of the required
knowledge. What we ,do know from recent
experiments is, that plants do, absorb azote,
and largely from the atmcsPhere. Priestly
said so, many years ago : •his conclusions, hoW
ever were disputed and rejected. pose produc
tions which yield food to man and fodder to
cattle most abundantly, are those which come
more especially under consideration. Farmers
alternate root crops with grain crops, with a
view to prevent exhaustion, as late experience
demonstrates, is beat prevented by offering all
=possible facilities for a full and free supply of
nitrogerf, and from the atmosphere, rather than
from other sources. Wats' and air, indeed,
play amore important part in agriculture than
many who till the soil by more routino would
be willing to believe. AI. Baudrimont, profes
sor of chemiatry at the Faculty of Sciences,
.at Bordeaux, has just published a work " On
the Existence of Interstitial Currents in Ara
ble Soil, and tho Influence which they exert in
Agriculture," in which, after a long study of
the subject, ho states that there is a natural
process at work by which liquid currents rise
to the surface from a cortuin depth in the
ground; and thus bring up materials that help
either to maintain its fertility or to modify its
deriver. Many phenomena of agriculture
and, of vegetation have, at different times, been
unsorted, —which; hitherto 'inexplitiablc — arlo
readily explained on this theory. Such, for
example, tho improvements which take place
in. fellows ; and there is roason to believe that
these currents materially influence the rotation
of orope.
In Germany, Schleiden is attracting much
atf . o - ntion by his masterly views on the phe
nomena of vegetation; and it will surprise
many to hear that he admits of no relation be
tween tit's, fertility of a soil and the quantity
of fertilizing matters expended upon it. "The
goodness of the soil," lie says; •'depends upon
its inorganic constituents, so far at least as
they are soluble in water, or through contin
ued action of „carbonic acid; and the more
abundant and various these solutions, the more
fruitful is the ground."
Arguing from this view, it is not richness of
soil or humus that produces the multiplied
varieties of Alpine plants in Germany, or the
absence of it that produces but.few. "Solu
ble mineral constituents" are shown to be the
characteristics of our cultivated fields ; and an
"agrioultural plant" is defined as one "distin
guished from wild individuals •of the same
speoies by peculiar qualities which constitute
its fitness' or culture, and which deperids upon
a modification of chemical action." The ama
zing yield of Indian corn in Mexico—from 200
to 600 fold--ds something which, with all our
skill, we cannot aoboinplish, and is a fact In
favor of the argument,' "that in no oeso (toile
organic substances contained •in the' ground
performarty direst part in the nutrition of
plants." • The annual destruction of organic
matter all over the earth is estimated at 196
billions,of pounds, equal to 2i billionoof cubit;
feet; and if all vegetati9ii depends on Organic
matter for nutrition, to satisfy thil_ consump
tion "there must have boon 5,000 years book,
ten feet deep.of pUre organic substance on its
surface." Another illustration. is furnished by
taking the number of Cattle and other animals
in France in a'' given year, (1844,) and obsorv.
int the amount of food they consume. The
prooess,of nutrition would require 76,789,000.
000 pounds of organic matter—six Grassi:net:a
than the wnoluxtumber oontributo'cl of orgdnio
matter towardO'Veproduotion ; and in 100 years
';the; whole organic material of. 4ho country
would be consumed.".

cotton wool, or on a beord,we
,seem to,have
proof that the chief source of supply is the
atmosphere. This is an interesting point,
which further research will verify, ~Schleiden
shows the process to be eminently simple., He
nays in his work, of which a translation , has
been published by the Horticultural Society:
" AcCording to Link, Schwartz, and ethers, an
acre of water-meadow produces, 4,400 R ounds-'
of hay, which, when dry, contains ,45,8,pes
cent. of. carbon. The bay then .yields 2,0011\
pounds of carbon, to, which.l„ooo pounds rway
be added for the,portion of the year in which
• the grass is - Miketii, - rind the roots.' 'To pro
.duee these 8,000 pounds of °Arbon, 10,080
pounds of carbonic acid are requisite,, whiet
may be raised to 12,000 pounds, to, compen-'
sale for the nightly expiration. 'Now-, Shubler
has shown that an acre of so wretched ti gross
as pea annua exhales in 120 days .(too low a
computation) of active vegetation 6,000,000
pounds of water. To supply the ailgeneies of
the plants, therefore, it is only necessary. for
the meadow to imbibe 32 1 grains of carbonic
acid with every pound Of water."
Mr. Lewes has found, also, that in a plant
-of any ono of our ordinary crops, more than
200 grains of water must pass through it, for
a single grain of solidi substance to accumulate
within it. He states the evaporation from an
acre of wheat during the period of its grewth
to be 114,800 gallons, or 73,510,000 gallons
per square mile. With clover it is rather
more; with peas and barley, less.. When we
apply these calculations to a county or a king
dom, we are lost in the magnitude of thepto
coos by which nature works ; but we see the
more clearly that on such a scale, thq quantity
of material 'supplied by the 'air, though Mi
nute to the individual, becomes vast in the ag
gregate. We see, moreover, the necessity for
understanding the relations between evapora
tion and rate of growth, and the laivs and ef
fects of absorption in soil ' s. A thousand
pounds of dry calcareous sand will gain two
panda in weight in twelve hours when the air
is moist, while'puro agricultural clay will gain
thirty-seven pounds.
The source Of nitrogen comes next to be
'considered ; and this also is seen-to be inde
pendent of manures. Hereupon, it fie observ
ed that "our domestic plants do netrequire
larger supply than in a state Of nature. A water
'meadow which has never received any manure
yields yearly frog forty to fifty Pinitids ofrd
trogen, while ,the beet plowed land yields only
about thirty-one pounds. The plants for which
most dung is used, as potatoes and turnips,
are, in feet, proportionally the poorest in ni
trogen." That there is a supply indepeuder t
of the soil, is further seen-4% the millions of
hides furnished every year by the cattle of the
Pampas without any diminution of prodetniql
and in the great quantities , of nitrogen Ons
matter—hay, butter and cheeso—oarried off
froin pasture lands, far more than is returned
by the animals fed thereon. Experiments with
various kinds of plants on various soils have
satisfactorily demongtrated that increase of
trogen in the land' rind in the crops deeetalie
place quite irrespective of supplies of man
ure,
With respect to ammonia, "it appisnrs that
one-thirteenth of a grain in every pound Of
water is sufficient for the exigencies of vegLL-_
tation, and there is, perhaps, no• spring water
in the universe which contains so little."—
Then, as to sulphur and phosphorus, which nice
also• among the oonstituents• of •plants, the
quantity needed in proportion to the time of
vegetatioq is so small, that one-549,0011th of a
grain of sulphureted hydrogen pe'r cubits 'foot
diffused through the atmosphere to a height
of 8000 feet is'all that is required. •
Tho considerations that oordals would 'soon
disappear froin the north of Europe, if not
cultivated, and perhaps, for. nearly the whole
of this quarter of the globe, adds weight to
the arguments in favor of enlightened fatten
tien_to the inorganic constitutions ,of plants.
The point is to bring the soil into harmony with
