H even fancied an irregularity in it, that betokened, as he thought, srig$B distress of mind ; and all that he had ever heard of spirits revisiting the scene of their moital existence, to expiate some hidden crirn, entered his imagination, and combined to make his situation awful and appalling. It was therefore wkh great earn estness that he exclaimed: " Iu the name of God, Hamilton, is that you?" A voice, from the threshhold of the communi cating door, addressed him in tones that sank deep into his soul: - "Gordon, listen, but do not speak to me.

As much inconvenience is ocasioned, as well as serious losses sustained Lr farmers in our broken regions of North Canlina, by the washing of lands, any informatior on the sub ject, calculated to assist farmers n prevent ing these effects, would doubtles be advan tageous, and, perhaps, interestiugto many. It is indeed a subject on which tie farmer is as deeply interested as almost an other what ever, ia regard to his farming operations, as we are confident that greater injiry is some times sustained by tho washing o'.one single rain, than would otherwise hav, been by a succession of half a dozen crops. " We have so often urged in preious num bers of the Advocate, the advantages in this respect, of deep aud thorough plouiing, that it appeals hardly necessary to reverlto the sub ject at present, further than to renind the far mer, that witnout it every other attmpt, either to prevent his. land from washing, to effect any permanent improvement in hs soil, must and ever wifl prove measurably ahSrtive ; and more especially if the soil a fe w iiches below the surface is based on a cohesiv tenacious clay. " j In a country like ours, every pssible pre caution will sometimes fail to secure laud es tirely from washing; and whenier a break is discovered to be forming in ay part of the farm, some means should be pirnptly em ployed to arrest Us progress, else, ,it will ra.- pidly increase and soon become a matter of inconvenience besides a fruitful source of mischief, by forming a channel or opening into which the water that alter accumulating in the furrows during the fall of heavy rains, and that would otherwise soon be absorbed by the soil, finds a ready passage to the near est brook, to the lasting injury of the soil,'and a material detriment to the growing crop, and especially if succeeded by drought. Different plans have been recommended by individuals to arrest their progress, and re pair the breach. In referring to the subject a few days ago; a neighbor of oura mentioned a method, which he thought? frofti the experi ence of himself and others of his acquaintance, could be recommended in preference to any other he had seen : he said, that simply set ting the washed places wilh Herds grass would effectually prevent further injury, and ultimately restore the breach to its former lev el. He mentioned that an experienced far mer, refen ing to the plan of throwing rock into gutters to make them fill up, had stated to him, that a load of manure was far superior in stopping a wash, to a load of rock. It is known by those acquainted with thi grass, that it quickly sends out a numerous quantity of roots which take such firm hold in the soil as to render it difficult to separate them, and that treading down and partially covering with dirt will not subdue it; -and from the tenacity with which its numerous fibrous roots bind the soil, together with the protection 'afforded by its abundance of fine foliage yielding rea dily to the current, forming a smooth carpet, over wfiich the water will glide with little other effect than merely depositing. at cach flood a portion of sediment, which by accumulating from time to time, will ultimately -fill the chan nel to a level with the adjoining ground, with little other attention than merely throwing into the wash at short distances, a little manure as above mentioned, to give the grass a start when sown. A few rocks thrown on the ma- tiure at tirst mignt do useiui to secure u irom washing away beiore the grass gets permanent hold. , As some confusion probably exists in regard to the name o! this sjrass we would remark, that we are not sufficiently skilleaVin the,, science, to give with mucli certainty its botanical name, but think it is probably the ,'lgrostis vulgaris of L. ani general Iy known throughout the foush and W st, hy the name of Herds irass ; but from the reddish hue of tho hau or rather tassel, it lias sometimes linen called Red top ; foliage fine and abundant, and of a somewhat bluish cast ; clRinls ood pasturate, and makes an excellent hay.

The vast ameuvt of this article consumed in the United States, is almost incredible and was it an article fully conducive to health, the circumstances by which we obtain it, would, we think, render such an extensive use of it extravagant and unjustifiable. Did we produce a surplus iu our own country for exportation, sufficient to pay for our imported luxuries,, ot which coffee forms an important item, our course would seem to be more jus tifiable. But when we reflect that for tho last several years the excess of our imports over that of our exports, has averaged nearly fifty millions of dollars annually, we think it is high time to change our policy, and endeavor to practice better economy. I rue, other causes- besides the vast con sumption of coffee, have contributed to create this heavy balance against us ; but by evad ing this expense, the balance would be great ly reduced. We further admit that the practice of drink ing coffee ha.sbeen so long indulged, that the propensity would at first be hard vto control ; but nevertheless, we cannot admit that any personal gratification should be" indulged to such excess, as to endanger the public weal. And unless some plan is adopted to reduce our sum of imports, at least to an equality with that of our exports, we never can be a pros perous people. In the W estern Farmer is a notice of a new species of coffee, raised in Michigan, ntiien, should it tuny answer to the represen tation given of it, may prove a valuable ac quisition to our american productions ; and while furnishing our coffee drinkers with their favorite beverage, may save millions annual ly expended for that article, to foreign coun tries. The editor says that ho has tried some of it, and its taste is hardly discernable from the Java Coffee. That it should be planted in May, and will ripen about the first of Sep tember. That a patch f , ground 30 feet square; will produce over 100 pounds. That it can bo raised for less than two rrnts n pound. That it should be planted IS inches apart each way, and one berry in each hill. And that the seed can be had at Mr McNair's seed store in that city, Detroit, Michigan. uu lunuwiug wc copy irorn the same pa per, being a communication to the editor on the subject. Mr Snoic : I noticed an article in your last number, headed Vegetable Coffee. The plant to which you allude, is one, I suspect which somewhat excited my curiosity last summer. I found it growing in the garden of Mr Greenwood of this city. Upou en quiring what it was, I was told that it was the genuine coffee plant, or rather" says Mr G. " it is what I have raised and used in my family for coffee, for three tr four years, and we know no difference between it, and the coffee we purchase in the stores except that we have to pay Is 4d to Is Cd per pound for that we purchase, while this costs mo nothing, for 1 can raise enough on this little patch (8 by 20 or 30 feet) for a full supply for my fam ily for a year.

PROSPECTITS. . The publishers of the Globe have recently given to the country an exposition of the mo tives which prompted the attempt by the fed eral party to prostrate their establishment, by the lawless abrogation of their contract as printers to the Senate. They showed that there were already six federal newspapers to which a seventh is abtut to bp added pub lished at Washington all devoted to the dis semination of Federal principles, and the defence of Federal measures. And to make this overwhelming battery of Federal presses at the seat of Government tclKwith rnoro ef fect throughout the Union, the character of the Globo was to be tarnished, its means im poverished, and its political influence destroy ed, by a sweeping denunciation of infamy on the part of the federal leaders in the Senate by throwing the dead weight of an expendi ture of $40,000 in preparation to do the Con TC3sioual work, on the hands of its publish ers, (the printers whose contract was violated) and by having una whole wojx of defamation and ruin accomplished by the jadgmcnt of the Senate of the Union to give it the sanction of the highest tribunal known to our country The work was done by a caucus packed ma jority of Federalists, and the editors of the Globe aro left to sustain their establishment by the patronage they may receive from politi cal friends for tho papers they -publish.
