S. Ilousiton, r njainin ISrevard and others, and containing 372 acres. The said land is of good quality and well watered, both as to si)rings and branches. Of the land now in crop, aViiouiit- ing to 40 or 50 acres, the most of it is well ma nured and will produce corn, cotton or wheat, in sufficient quantity to abundantly compensate the husbandman for his labor. Kxperiment has proven tiuit it is peculiarly adapted to receive great and pirmancnt l>enetit i'roni manure.— 'i'here is on it a large p(!i'tion of low grijunds, qf exc IK nt quality, either for meadow or pas ture, 10 or 12 acres of which are in good order and have been mowed tor a number of years. The pr ncipal dwelling-house is l.irge ancl com modious, which, with a little additlinud expense, might be made comfortable and convenient even for a large family. The situation on which it Stands is proijidily equal to any in this or the aii- jaci lit counties- There is a well of good wa ter convenient to the house, and a large, fer‘;lc garden.

And that the committee report such rules and regulations on any or all of these inquiries, as, under existing circumstances, may be ex pedient. troduced him; and I repeat, I am respon sible to tlie Senate, to you individually— I shun no responsibility. Mr. Randolph.—You shall sliun'none to me, sir, when you owe it to me. Mr. Lloyd.—I shall, because I will shun none. Mr. King, of Alabama, called to order. 1 he President required the Senator calling to older to reducc the exception- bale words to writini^. Mr. King said it was not necessary to reduce the words to writing. Mr. Randol|)h.—I should have called to order myself. 'i he Presiilent.—The gentleman from N irt^inia will take his seat until the Chair decides. The words must be taken down, i he Chair directs the Senator from .\la- bama to reducc the words to writing. Mr. King. 1 cannot reduce them to wi'iting for the reason assigned. It was only necessary to check the gentle men when they were giving way to effer vescence of feeling. The President.—The gentleman fiom Alabama will take his seat. Those rules had guided the Chair, and it would Apply them rigidly to every one as far as its power extended. Mr. Hantiolph.—.And I shall submit cheerfully, because I always submit to justice and order. The resolutions ofTered by Mr. Ran dolph having been read, he said, let them lie on the table till next sessioti, when I shall say a word or two about them. The resolutions Avcre then laid on the table. From the American Farmer. Mr. Randolph moved that they be con sidered now. 1 he President said, the rule «'as, that when a meiuber offered a resolution, if he tlid not desire its consideration, it would lie one day on the tal)le. Mr. Holmes said, he had stated dis tinctly, he did not know that he should call them up durin Mr. Randolph.—Am 1 at liberty to go n The disorder consisted in the in terruption of me. I allowed it through the comity and courtesy that ought to be shown to every member on this lloor. I allowed it because of the character of the interruption on the part of the gentle man from Mass. The words of the gentleman from Massachusetts cannot be misunderstood ; they cannot be misap prehended—they are teclinical—they de mand no other reply than that I have given to the gentleman, and which, when he shall be j)erinitted to use that lan guage to me here, I will give to him, or to any man on earih, here or elsewhere. M. Lloyd rose. The President asked if the gentleman from Mass. made any call to order. .\!r. Lloyd said, No. He wished^to inquire whether one Senator had a right to rise and state the conduct of another, without that Senator having a right to reply instanter? 'I'he President said he regretted ex- ceedingl) the occurreucc which had taken place. The Chair had no authority f)ut what was vested in the Chair by the rule of the Senate itself.

M(ni}ires.—“Where vegetable sub stances are deeomposud by fermentation, there is a quick union of oxygen and carbon ; and this carbonic acid gas, cal led formerly fixed air, rises up in vapor, and flies away. liut when this process goes on more slowly, as in a dunghil! lately turned over, or in black garden mould lately turned over, and thus ex posed to the air, much of which remains in the cavities of the hot bed or border, this carbonic acid is slowly produced, and is absorbed by vegetable roots, 1 supj)ose in its fluid state, or dissolved in water, before it requires so much heat as to rise in the atmosphere in form of gas. This carbonic arid gas in its fluid tiite, or dissolved in water, not in its ad- rial or gaseous slate, is the principal food of plants, as ajipears, because their solid fibres consist princip;illy of carbon, and their fluids of water. Phys- ilogia, X. 5. 'I’his explains the importance of ex cluding heat and air (necessary agents in fermentation) from yard dung, by a good coat of straw and stalk litter, or by a covering of earth, until the farmer i.s ready to cart it to his field ; and of immediately covering it with the plough, and planting upon the soil ; foritshoultl not be forgotten that long manure is best applied to hoed croj).s, and after nourishing these, it is as useful for small grains, as the rntlcd manure that has fer mented in the yard. ^idvnntuges of .stirring the soil.— “'I’lie azote [nitrogen] of the atmos- j)herc, when air is confined in Iho in- t(?r.sticcs of the soil newly turned over by the j)lough or spade, contributes to the production of the nitrou,s acid by its union w'ith the oxygen of tlie atmos- j)herc W'ith which it was before only diflused, or with the much greater source of oxygen from the decomposing waters ol the soil. At the same time another part of the abundant azote combines with the hydrogen of the decomposing water of the soil, and j>roduces ammonia, or volatile alkali; which contributes to tho vegetable.s many way.s, as already de scribed.”—M. This explains one of the benefits re- sulling from often stirring the groiind among growing erop.s. Farmers of the old school cautiously avoid hoeing their cro|)S : ; a dry liiiie, and often carry tiic error so far, as lo refrain from extirpa ting the w’ecds (luring a di-ought, under the idea thut both oper.itions dissijiatc the little ino'isliu’c in tho soil, and that ^v•eeds are beiielicial in prot«*cting it fi-oni tlie inten.se ray.s of the sun.
