Why it is , better than the grasses, or Dnckwneat, or any plant tnai grows rapidly, furnishing in , a comparatively short time a large amount of organic matter to return to the soil, is not so crenerallv known. Some not well acquainted with the laws of vegetable physiology have! supposed it . was be cau;se'"clover takes directly! from the' atmosphere a larger proportion of its food j than most other plauts, and hence less from the soil; in this way notj only exhausting the soil less of its plant food, but in reality,j bringing from the atmosphere an increased amount of food, -which is changed by' the; plant iutoj organic matter, and by it deposited in' the soil, j j: f: --rw. .; : ' ,':: Were it known that; clover does feed upon the atmosphere more, this theory 'would appear quite plausible. It is a well jestablished fact that plants in general take most flf their food from the'atmosphere. : This has1 been well shown by M. iVille, a French agricultural chemist,, in some experiments conducted forthe purpose of ascer taining to wliat degree of perfectiou plants could be brought wleu grown mider conditions ; such that they couti get no food from the Boil.- He found that corn grown inj powdered brick-dust-(which certainly could; contain no matter, in a , condition to te taken up by the roots of the pl.-iQt,) and watered with 4stilled Water, grew H sufficiently well to ripen soma of its seed, althongh i not itieveioping into Dearly as strong a plant as w, ,i flVD:;n nrinnrv kKil TSTnw Wh;i ifc s we kno tUt the larirer bronortion of the food conclusions of the absolute! exhaustive effect of - different croba may be drawn.

Chforine, 22 0 6.2 I Of'these substances the siiicia is of leastvalue, because it is jalways present in soils in large quantities. If we deduct the silicia from the amount of all these substances, there remains of the clover ash! 66.5 lbs., of the ash of meadow hay 52.9 lbs! j Here it is seen that 1,000 lbs. of clover removes from the soil 13 6 lbs. more of the most valuable constituents (those present in smallest quantities.) of the mineral .food of plants, than does common meadow hay. Hie two most valuable of all these .cons titueuts are' the phos phoric acid land the potash; Of both of these tbe clover' con iai us the most. Hence, were we to judge of the exhaustive effects of these crops by the food taken by each, chtver would neces sarily bo placed first. Yet universal experience shows the reverse to be iruev We must seek, then, from some other source the cause jof this apparent amnnaly. This cause is found in the manner in which 'each plaut feeds upon the soil. ommon meadow grasses feed near the surface of the soil almost exclusively They have a large mass of fibrous .roots that' extend into the earth but a short distance, consequently their food must all lie ; near the' surface. Clover, on the contrary, is a deep feeder! sending its roots often to the depths pi' many feet. It thus gets food that is entirely beyond tlie reach of the urasses, and may grow well upon it soil which to them is nearly barren.; . ! 'The weight of roots i i comparison with that of the tops, is also much greater in clover than in the grasses. It has been estimated that at the end of three years after seeding, the weight of the dried roots of clover, will be equal to half the weiirht of 'dried tops mat nas oeen removed tons of hay have-bcen as hay. That , if four cut, two tons of organic matter will be contained in th roots. Whenever the clover sward is plowed under, this two tons of matter decays and i acts as so mucn mauure in tne son. Another benefit that clover imparts to land is that the entire soil is permeated by the roots to the depth of scveral feetj and as these rots de cay they furniih passages by which the air may reach the soil to a depth that otherwise would be impossible. ! By: this means the soil becomes more finely divided, the changed by the carbonic t the soluble form, and insoluble plant-food is acid of the atmosphere the fertilitv of the land is indirectlv increased We conclude then that thelbetieficial 'efFeets of cWers a renovator of worn-outlsoil, does not depend- upon where the plant feeds, but-upon how it feeds Western Ftirmrr. j- . ;' ' .

I On 'esterday. the Legislature passed a resolu tion instructiog.the Treasurer -hot to pay any niore of the merest due on he fpertul lax bouds. This extraordinary move is not understood by many outside ot the -iiingx , inis is the ex r . t planation, bijiefly :! j The "Iting'f have ved the bonds; and can't account for them. ThisrcsoIu tion will hare the effect ana is so intended by its real authors.fto putj the bonus down to jive or t w fonts in. (he foliar, and nowl the'Ring," in need of the bonds; to make up their accounts, will be able to buy up all that are needed at the de preciated price brought about by .this resolution ; but few 'oi the members of the legislature un derstood its purpose, or kne r where it came from. JEveii its author did know- ts design. However innocent may havej been , t io intention of the Legislature, this resolution is the handiwork of Ithe ''Bing," to-make money and to pave, them selves when he day of reckoniug shall come, jj; If Littlcfi(!id and the "lling";. have sold the bonds held by the Western N. 1. Railroad Co., as they are eliarged with having done, at 50 . or GO cents in the dollar, and used ithe money fur jheir own, purposes and Florida speculations, they can buy back jthe bonds, now, at 5 or 10 ?ents in the ioIlar,jand be all ready to account for the bonds they Ihave. misapplied, and realize by the operation 40 or 45 ceuts i the dollar, on millions of tliie bonds. j i . " jj: This is wise legislation I. At the last- session they passed bills oppressively taxing the people ; the money has bcn collected, and now they stop the Treasurer from payiug! it outl Ruleiyh ntmel VJlh.

This Company is also runuing through freight cars from Charlotte to Nashville, Louisville mod Columbus, Kentucky, and in a few" weeks will be running them to St. , Louis, Mo., crossing the Mississippi River with floating docks and steam- ' era. These cars are loaded with corn, bacon, flour, whiskey and other products at any of these cities, from 600 to 1,000 miles from Charlotte, and come directly here without the freight being ,; changed until it reaches Columbia or Charlotte.
