THEjnwEn. Wheat its Hineral Food. II r. Way, Professor of Agriculture" Chemistry hi the Royal Agricultural Col rejje, Cirencester, England, hat contribu ted to the Journal of the Royal Agricultu ral Society an extended and exceedingly valuable pnper oo the " Analyais of the Athes of Plants. These recearches em brace, amnng other maliera of interest', the analyses of 62 varieties of wheat, co far as lu determine the amount of minerals which an acre of grain, including straw and teed, removes at each harvrst. In straw the quantity of ash per 100 parts ranged from 3 J to 5 per eent- In one sample the ash was only 2,1 4 "per cent: in another the per ccutaee was at high 1 1. The mean of 40 specimens is 4 1 per cent. Those vari eties of grain which bad the most mineral matter m the straw were has liable to fall, and the atoms were brighter and more ex empt from mildew and rust. The ash in wheat chuff varies from? to 10 per cent. In wheat, the analysis of 82 specimens gave a mean of 1 67 per cent. This result is about the nvan be tween the results obtained by Dr. Spengel. es copied by Prof. Johnston in his Lectures on Agricultural Chemistry, and M. Bous singautt. In looking over the tables, we find no ash of the seed which contains qui'e half its weight of phosphoric acid, and none that has so li!l!e as 40 per cent. Thu next most abund mt element is potash. Of this the proportion ranges from 33 np to 89 per rent. The third most abundant mineral is magnesia, which ranges from 0 to 14 per cent. After this stand soda and silica, the latter being mostly in the bran. Of lime, the figures run from 1J up to ovar 8 per cent. Sulphuric acid and chlo rine also exist in small quantities. la all ensea the grain was cut close to the ground, and yet the wheat was nearly as heavy as the straw. The best yields were obtained by dibbling onesseed four inchea in drill and in rows twelve iuches apart. Considerable improvements are now ma king in Eng'and in the art of feeding wheal plunts fertilisers that abound in available azott a substance the agricultural value of which was first taught by Dr. Samuel Mitchel, of New York, about 60 years ago. (t most abounds in cabbages or in crucife rous and leguminous plants. A rote is but another name for nitrogen, which forms about four-fnihi of the air we breathe. This atmospheric nitrogen is not available in wheat culture till it is combined chemi cally with hydrogen to form ammonia, or haruhirn ; or with hydrogen to form ni trie acid (aqua fortit ) This acid cotn bioed wiik potash makes saltpetre, which is a most valuable fertilizer for wheat. Leached ashes and stable dung in a com post is a sort of nitre bed a contrivance lor convening atmospheric azote into nitric acid, just as burning wood converts the ox ygon of the air into carbonic acid. The economical preparation of food for pianta on scientific principles, is a' together too much wglcctrd in this countrv. Probably nt .

After the manure is ap plied to the land, more than a moiety is lost before it enters the roots of plants. We ran never have good crops of grain, grass, and potatoes, at a cheapVate, till we learn how to save all fertilizers, and work up the raw .-natrriftl of our several harveate to the best advantage. It is just as bad econo my to apply too much as loo little manure, to any given surface. Two of the most extensive elements in grain culture are phosphoric acid end pot ash. Turse are derived from the soil ali ne, and are everywhere wasted, over more thou 100 000 000 acres, in this em pire of farmers. Other elements, equally necessary and nearly as expensive, are also throw c away in a thousand forms. It is hih lime there was a poudre'te manu factory in e very city and v.llaee in the Union ; and that the fertilizing atoms so prepared be drilled in with seed wheat, heie as in England, Belgium, and China. We evince a strange lack of common sense by continuing to impair the natural fertility of our arable lauds, with the certainly thai we must give more and more labor for vary 100 bushels of potatoes, wheat, or corn that we annually grow. Keep all manure out of the rain, lie careful to aave all ashes, and procure bones, gypsum, and lime, (ienesee Farmer.

P. 8. CONGRESS. Remarks of Hon. Joseph Casey ef Pa., in the House of Representatives on Agriculture, Cheap Postage, arid the Patent Office Report. Washington, March 12. The House resumed the consideration of the motion to re-consider the vote by which the House laid on the table the re port of the Committee of Printing to print one hundred thousand copies of the report of the Commissioner of Patents. Mr. Venable, (Dem.) opposed book ma king by Congress aa wrong from begin ning loend. It was not the purpose for which men were srnt hero, Mr John A. King, (whig,) was in favor of publishing a larger edition than ever of the report. Much had been done for com me roe tod manufactures, but little or no thing for the great farming interest Mr. Sawtelle, (dem ) of Maine, said that four-fifths of the population of the country are agriculturalists. Heretofore, nearly all printing done has been for the commer cial and manufacturing interests,and it was no more than right that the largest num ber of the report be printed for farmars. Mr. Woodward, (dem.) of South Caro lina, denied that this was a report. It was an abstract treatise nn abstract sciences and philosophy. He wi bed the Commissioner to send the right kind of report something practical and tot speculative. Mr, CASEY. J desire to tmke a few remarks in answer to ike objections that have been urged against the consideration of the vote upon this resolution. And I shall vote for it, with an entirely different object ia view, than that entertained and ex pressed by the gentleman from Maryland, Mr. McLaoe. He appears to think that there is danger of increasing the patronage of members upon this floor, and that it may be exercised for improper or unworthy pur poses. The gentleman's objection proceeds upon the ground, that gentlemen will dis tribute this document exclusively to mem bers of their own political party, and that the other people of the districts, will be de baired from any participation in the bene fits of this public expenditure. What has been the common or general pra-v.ic among members upon this subject I can not say, but I can speak for my own district, which has been, for the last five year-, represen ted by an able gentleman, Hon. James Pollock who occupied a seat on this side of the hall, and you will find in that dis trict, sir, this Patent OJice Report in the possession of members of both parties Whigs and Democrats alike have enjoyed there the advantage of it. Copies have bran sent, sir, to those, who, it was believed, would make goo I ue of them, to the im provement of their farms and stock, and the advancement of tie gieat interests of agriculture in their vicinity and community. Another objection urged is. that it can not be distributed to nil, and therefore con cludes, that none ought lo have it. Why, asks the gentleman from North Carolina, Mr. Venable, j should one man have the report f...- """ v- t wo- swer, there is none in the world, except that it would be utterly impracticable to publish and distribute so largo a number. But, because every voter does not receive a copy of this report, it does not follow that they derive no advantage from it. So far, air, from this being the case, the very opposite is true. Of the information ob tained through this book any improve ment in farming, in raising stock, in se lecting or preparing seeds, bringing into use improved agricultural implements, pre paring and selecting manures, or of any of the endless and important improvements suggested in the different reports from this Patent Office the benefit is not confined to the single farmer himself ; but the en tire community .county or district, in which he lives, derive advantage. Besides, sir, farmers are social people, and oue of these bonks, sent Into a neighborhood, instead of remaining in the house of' the person to whom it is sent, travels round the entire community, and every man who wishes can see and read it, and derive advantage from it. Nor do I think the argument, that it is not the legitimate business of Congress to make books for the people to nndertake public education has any more force. I do not think that it would do any harm to any of our constituents, lo have good, solid, practical information, upon a subject inti mately connected with the best interests and prosperity of the country, and that.too, at the expense of the Government which they maintain and support. Your farming interests comprise oearly eighty per cent, of your entire population ; and I ask you, what do you expend lor their benefit ? What do you do to support and encourage these interests, besides this yearly pittance for this report f And of this you wish now to deprive them. Sir, we who represent honest, hard-working farmers, would be recreant to our duty to our constituents, if we did not resist earnestly the attempt that is now made to cut of! from them this mite, which has always been given grudgingly. The gentleman from South Carolina, rUr. Wnvfxrd.1 oLieeta. that it ia a mere . compilation, and contains extracts from ! seen whether he will be sustained by New agricultural journals- that he wants a ' England or not. learned and scientific report. Sir, that it J On Monday.

Seed out learned, scientific disquisitions, on the sub ject of agricultural chemistry, alkalies and gassea, to farmers, and they will not thank you for them. They would not give a sous for a bushel of them. They want something which tells them, in a plain, straight for ward, farmer-like way, how they may improve their farms and their cattle, and better their condition. Those things these Reports contain, and those, I repeat, are their best features. The gentleman from North Carolina Mr. VenablsQ opposed ,ne printing of this report, because, he says, he is in favor of reducing postage, and these reports will tend to encumber the mads. I will go as far as that gentleman, that it is a measure loudly called for by the people and the press. It ia necessary, air, in order that intelligence may be circulated freely and fully throughout the country. I would make it if I could, as free as the light of heaven. I am, too, sir, for cheap poestage on letters, and for the free circulation of newspapers, within thirty, forty, or fifty miles of the place where they are published, or within the county, or Congressional diatrict, where they are printed. Thia is a measure of reform that I much desire to see ; and I am glad to know that we shall have the talents and influence of the gen tleman from North Corolina with us on that subject. But if we adopt one wholesome measure, it certainly affords no satisfactory reason hv we ahoulj aban(j0I1 ,nother. If ih? Post OaiX Parimenl can not sustain it self, and bear this additional burden, under the proposed reduced rates,Iet Government pay for their transmission. It is the peo ple's money, and if expended for their ben efit, who has the right to complain T I am, therefore, for 'printing this report, and printing the very largest number named I hope, sir, not less than 100,000 of the' agricultural report And for my vote on that, ai well as for the proper distribution of those I shall receive, I will answer to my constituents. lam aware, air, that these reports have, perbap, not been as perfect as they might, and would have been, if the interests which they seek to promote, had been pro perly cared for by Congress. While you voted millions for the army and navy, and ex pend thousands upon thousands every year for a military academy at West Point make coast surveys for the benefit of commerce mineralogical surveys, and publish maps and descriptions of them fit out and send forth exploring expeditions, (gentleman don't feel shocked at all this.) yet, when we come lo ask that the Gov ernment shall exhibit to this large and most deserving class of her people, that they are not entirely overlooked, gentlemen startle at the enormous expense. Why, sir, it is but a few days since.that the gentlemen from Maryland introduced a resolution, providing for the printing of thirty thousand copies of the report on Commerce, for the benefit of his constitu ents, and others, who represent large com mercial cities. I voted for it 1 did not object to it ; yet I wish to treat all alike, and all not only fairly, but liberally ; and for none will I go further than for the in terests of the farmer. I will go with the gentlemen for the erection of an Agricultural Bureau, to take charge of this great interest, and believe it to be demanded at our hands, by every principle of justice, and fairness, aa those who contribute most to the support of Gov ernment, and those occupations and pur suits form the basis of her wealth, her power, and her greatness, should have at least one bureau among all her departments, to look after, to guard, to promote, and to protect their welfare. I hope, therefore, Mr.Speaker, that the vote will be recon sidered the number greatly augmented, and that we ahall have them speedily prin ted, and for distribution among our constit uents. Mr. C concluded by moving the previ ous question. Under its operation, the vote rejecting the resolution was reconsidered. Mr. Wentworth, (dem.) of Illinois mov ed to print fifty thousand copies of the me chanical portion of the report, and one hundred thousand of the agricultural por tion. This was agreed to and the resolution passed- Daily Glob: In Mr. Webstv's speech on the Slavery question, he opposes the Wilmot Proviso as unnecessary will vote for territorial governments without any clause bearing upon the subject of slavery thinks that there should be additional legislation in re gard to the recapture of fugitive slaves and argues that Congress is bound by the resolution of annexation to recognize the institution of Slavery in the new States that may be carved out of Texas. These are briefly Mr. Webster's positions. .- In their practical bearing, they do not differ mate rially from the positions occupied by Messrs Cass, Clay, Bell, and other leading Sena tors. The speech is one of Mr. Webster's ablest efforts, and has-already produced a strong impression both at Washington and throughout the country. It remains to be port the positions assumed by the distin guished Senator from Massachusetts. He was for the Wilmot Proviso for the un conditional admission ofCalifornia-against Mr. Mason's fugitive Slave Bill and againat the right of Texas to extend the slave institution into the territory claimed by her. He differed almost entirely from Mr. Webster. Cholera!

Wednesday Morning, March 20 Union and California meeting. An immense meeting of the Democracy of ihe city and county of Philadelphia was held in the Chinese Museum on the evening of the 13th insl. Hon. Thomas M. Pettit presided.assisled by eighty.Vice Presidents, and aixteen Secretaries. The meeting w as addressed by John M. Read, Esq., E. A. Penniman, Hon. D. W.Carter, M. C. from Ohio, and Jos. A. Nunes. Resolutions were adopted by acclamation re-affirming the resolutions of the Pa. Legislature on this subject, in 1819 and 1847, and of the Pittsburg Dem. Convention of the 4th Ju ly last ; sustaining the power of Congress to prohibit the extension of slavery into the free territories ; that the territories acquir ed from Mexico, came to us free, are now free, and should ever remain free; de manding the immediate and unconditional admission of California into the Uoion ; asking the Stale Legislature to pass reso lutions to that effect ; recognizing the ob ligation of the constitutional provision for the delivery of "fugitives front labor;'' and denouncing all attempts to weaken or dis solve the Union, ns treasonable, and the actors therein as moral traitors. We regret that there should be any want of harmony among our democratic brethren of the city and county, on sub jects of such importance, but we are confi dent the tone and proceedings generally ol this meeting, accord with the sentiments of the large majority of the democracy of the interior of this State. And we find our selves sustained in this opinion, by such excellent authority as Judge McFarlape,of Hollidaysburg, who says, in bis re ly to the invitation sent him "So far as my knowledge of the senti ments of the Democracy extends, I think I am safe in saying that they are in accord ance with the resolution adopted by the Pittsburg Convention, and appended to the call for the meeting of the 13th inst ; and that their only regret in relation to that re solution is, that it was not adopted in IS48. instead of 1849, at Uarrisuurg instead of Pittsburg.'" Il may not be amiss in this connection, to give the resolution adopted at Pittsburg in July last, which is as follows : Resolved, That the Democratic rarty adheres now, as it ever has done, to the Constitution of the country. Its letterand pirit they will neither weken nor destroy, and they re-declare that Slavery is a do mestic local institution of ihe South, sub ject to Stale law alone, and with which ihe Genera!

Ks'ecrnirg it a violation of State rights to carry it beyond ihe State limits we deny the puer of any riliav n to exrend ihe nrea of bondage beyond its present do minion, nor do we consider it a part of the compromise of the Constitution that Slave ry should forever travel with the advancing column of our territorial progress."
