THE PEANUT. "n-TIio spread of the culture of peanuts since the wr hug been remarkable. Ever uce wo can recollect, a few of the far mers in the neighborhood of our city have been in thelmbitof raising "patches" to a limited extent, but they never made mure than tbey could put into one or two carts and send to the-dully market in Norfolk. During ten yoars beforo lLo trur a fow went so far as te plant two or three acres; but still the amount raised waspo inconsid erable as not to be eutitled to the name of a staple. One of the results of the war has been to change the crops in this region. The uncertainty of labor bas compelled the farmers to produce a given amount of money. The culture of corn is not as formerly, so exclusively earried on as to engross the whole attention of the far mers. It is found to be a luring business to put. a man's farm entirely in a cereal tha1. costs so much more to cultivate it in the way of fences, manure and labor than almost any growth that could be sabsti- tuted for it. Moreover the citizens, oil. African descent have an uncontrolable propensity for stealing corn in any shape, from the roasting eais to the stjres in the crib. It has been found that the peanut will bring far more money to the acre than In , i . i , , dian corn, and it has, within the lest three years, been introduced very extensively into the counties from this city to Peters- fa ' " " - j-iasjfctwrnia cm,, his city has been, rTATitrrg the las,tyear, wards of one million ot dollars far ivrethan th tt which was received for the f-a produced on the same farms before the war. I'eas of the best quality have commanded in our market ;-.' a bushel, and an acre well prepared will bring fifty bushels, or ? I .(.). But this is not the best that has been done. Hut this not the best that has been done. A fine article has produced 83,15, aud some of the lands pe culiarly well manured have produced sev enty five bushels or in money $236 to the acre. Now there are not so large sums by n good deal as are produced by trucks and berries ; but they show that peanuts are a very fair crop notwithstanding. The planting and raising are very sim ple. The light soil of the counties South of the James river seems specially adapted to it. 1 his has to bo enriched with lime and scrapings ot the forest, dec. with a moderate portion of guano. The lime should be used to the extent of ten bush els to the acre and the guano at about the rate of ten pounds to the hundred yard ol tin) rows. The pea should be planted eighteen inches apart and one inch deep. Tne season for planting ia about the firs', ot May. i ne i.i sing or mis riant is extremely well adapted to the preseut transient state of our agriculture. It is not absolutely new to our formers, and the price it brings is so superior to that produced by corn aud oats, as gradually to wean them from cul--'tttrui &rtftt changes cannot be made in a day, and the peanut will dojnaea to alien ate our farmers from the beaten track pur sued by their ancestors. The real cause of the backwardness ofiagrieulttrre in Vir ginia has always been the mental capaci ty of the negro, which is limited to meet 1 in; most elementary notions ; and the Col- j tivation ot tne peanut is not above ins capacity. Norfolk Journal. WIip. KILLED YANCEY ? ' Xorrespondent in Harrisonburg, Vir' ginia, writes : A few days ago I heard a conversation in relation to the death of V in. L.

The owl is a game bind ; lie can whip unytbiugweais feathers after daik. He is n wise bun!, aud hoots nt most things. He is a solum bind, a crosd between a justice of the peace aud a county super visor Ho is a stiff burd, and sils up as stiff as an exclamation point. He is a liivurious burd, and feeds on young chickens. He is a long lived burd, and never was known to take death naturally. He is a hard burd, and grose tuff by baileing.

During all that time, he was compell ed to drag bis emaciated Irauie hImhU. op. crutches. In vuiu he invoked the best med ical talent of the country; ai d visiteu the most celebrated medicinal Shrines. Worn down and exbaustcd, he trave uii all hone of recovery. At this stage of his case, baaing been governed by his medical friends' from the beginning, he determined to adopt a method i f treatment, the result of his own reflection. It is enough to say. that this method is not so much new, as it is, the more skillful application of what has beeu long known, and attempted by the Physicians. After tome weeks of the uwst unwearied and persevering efforts, he was rewarded with the most gratifying results.
