Sovereigns t The present prosperity of otir internal afiairs has induced me at this early period to pre pare lor your consideration my Aonuai iue&aag, in ttie preparation olj which, I have been governed exclusively by the trite observation of some de funct " Old Fogy " whose knowledge of coming events enabled him J to take " Time by the fore lock, for it is deeidedly far better to improve the present, than await a future that might from an accumulation of multitudinous matter, (which could not with any degree of consistenny be em bodied with the present) deprive you of my ser vices. . "'"; To revert to past events, is 'folly, so fat as your esteemed- -modesty prevents the utterenc is concerned ; but t improve the present by cur sorily glancing over pur daily affairs, and recom mend the samo for yjour consideration, is my chief desire, while the unborn future may take care of itself. ! As Sovereigns, we have been highly blessed during the past year, and we can now individually or collectively sit doyrn under our own Persim mon trees, and snap our fingers at whomsoever we think proper. j Proposals have been made (through her Majes ty's Charge de Affairs) to your Executive for as sistance in the present Eastern struggle, and I am happy to inform jyou, tbat the Militia of the Country, as alio the dragoons hate been especially selected lor this important undertaking. The conditions, as stipulated lor their services, are in fact, such as will be of the highest importance to us ultimately, more; particularly so, if Massachu setts should feel disposed to kick up a row with us, in which event a spirit of reciprocity will be manifested in the bombardment of Capo Cod, by her Majesty 8 cruiser. The jute laws enaeted by the Assembly and Commons of our State, particularly as regards the non-circulation of small bills, has my warmest ap proval, as it is undoubtedly a branch of the tree from whence the " good time, &c." was to ger minate, by allowing the possessor of a five dollar bill the privilege of traveling whenever and wher ever he thought proper, without paying one dime iur food, &c., provided he kept within the above specified sum. From the accumulated information that is daily presented to us by the Press, I consider that our Postal arrangements have arrived" at their utmost perfection, and it is with a degree of veneration that your Executive beholds a newspaper from any oiher portion of the confederacy : this degree of perfection has only been attaiued since the completion of our Kail Itoad to Greensboro', and may very safely be attributed to the punt h, a i 'Hy and chronometers of the employees on the lload in nut allowing themselves to be " behind time," Northern mail, or no Northern mail. The completion of the last half mile of our Rail Road, has been looked for eagerly by many, whose crops fell far short of their expectations the past seastn, and whose employment has been, and is now in chiefly making a virtue of necessity, in testing thcii physical developments on the laws of abstinence, with the hopc-of recuperating those energies on "Barbecue day"" that have in a measure been paralysed,-by the-failure of their crops ; we therefore truest that ample measureb will be taken by the Committee to prevent any Sovereign from suffering on that occasion, as apart from those just designated, other Sovereigns wili be benefitted by the completion, from the fact, that while a few are composedly scaled in the cars, wondering at the stupidity of pedestrians, the many will have an opportunity of clearly ascer taining, if there is any BWl " in th aniruals, (tied up to the barkeaten saplings,) which have' j descended ma direct lineal liue from " Balaam's stock. Our system of education, as at present pursued, is one, that stands unprecedented in the annals of history, and your Executive devoutly hopes, that the time is not far distant when the vowel O, will become obsolete, and-thus abrid iro the number of letters that serve as a wholesale estab lishment for the construction of oar language. 1 would therefore recommeud a continuance of the letter A as better adapted to our wants, as in " crap " drap," &c., for the march of intellect is ouward, like the slow and intrepid step of a Jack j towards a i cck of com.

Among the many objects which chim the at tention of farmers is the erecting of good and sub stantial buildings. ; r And for this purpose we would bring to their notice a plan of building which has been more or less before the public for a longtime, but is not much known in our Stat. We allude to the so-called Lime and Gravel wall, or concrete as it is called by others. .The materials for thU mode of building ire lime, sand and any kind of stone or graveL t Mortar is made with the sand and lime, and this forms a cement j to unite the stones and gravel into a .solid wall' We have built a small house in this way andj will give our experience in the matter, with the hope that others may find it Of use to them. After j knowing the cost of Material and labor, any one will be able to decide for himself whether this mode of building is such as would suit his means or wishes, for we take it for granted that there w no single materi al for the walls of houses thit ean be recommen ded as universally applicable at all times and un der all circumstances. The materials which we used were the loose surface rocks which are found in great abundance all about the village pf Chapal Hill, and which are frequently used in stone walls for fencing. The stones varied in size from such as would just go into the wall, down to those of a few dunces weight. Many who Saw the wal going up said that the stones were too large. But we can see no reason for using small stones in prefereucef to large, ex cept for filling up the interstices, and in that way save mortar Certainly there can be no economy in breaking a rock to pieces, merely to stick it together aain. , The sand was such as is used by the masons for -making lime mottar, and was gathered from the roads and small btreams. lhat froui the streams being best, as it is freer from clay. . Coarse sand is also better than fine, a it takes loss lime to form a strong mortar. The lime used was the Thomaston, though any, other woull have answered the same purpose. Our house is bf,phe principal story with a base ment. The basement story is about one half under-ground,: and is fitted up as a dining room, kitchen, &CT, The height of the wall is nineteen feet from the foundation to the eaves. The wa.ll of the basement is one foot thick, that of the main story nine inches. The foundation was commen ced on the 2nd of November, 1854, and the wall was finished on the 20th of January 1S55. Must tf it was therefore put up in pretty cold weather, and during the short days. But e would advise others to build in warmtr weather. Of course, .1 11 Klnn irA.tf . . j .1 1 muni rmv fVii urnrlf r .1 1 1 nf nn I.l rGfm;rcd a ldnirer time tLan would have been necessary in a more favorable season . . 0 V J,m-0 K,n Hv.nrr In nur hm,.. sinra Ut March. The walls are dry in all kinds of weath- rection of military aud other buildings e will cr, and free from cracks. The outside is covered here introduce a paragraph Irom the "collce with ordinary stucco, which adheres to this kind tions" which will show that both the material and of wall better than it does to brick, and forms a j the mode of putUng it up are essentiady the same verv neat finish. The mortar for plastering the as that we have recommended above. inside wall of the basement is made wun Fome hydraulic lime, (cement) mixed with common lime and sand mortar. The basement floor is of the same material on a thin pavement of gravel. There is also some cement in the stucco on the outside wall immediately around the surface of the ground. We have purfect confidence in a wall put up in this way. The cost also -compares favorably ... . i i with that ot other modes or DUUdin'r. From the followingstatemehts auy one can form nf tlm rost in nnv part of the State. The stone for our house bad to be hauled on an average, about a half a mile, . : - . 4 i V or perhaps three quarters. The sand was hauled near two miles. The cost for sand and stone was one cent per cubic foot of the finished wall. Tho lime was obtained before the opening of the N. C. Railroad- It cost three dollars per barrell de livered at Chapel Hill. One barrel was sutheient for seventy-five cubic feet of wall ; making the j cost for lime four cents per foot. tommon ;a- borers were employed at seventy-fcto cents per day, they boarding themselves. They put up twenty-five cubic feet per day to the hand ; mak ing the cost for putting up three cents per foot. To this must be added the cost of plank for box ing, and something for hoes, buckets, &C. ; in all amounting to not more than a quarter of a cent per foot ; thus making the entire cost of the wall for labor and materials, amount to 8 cents and a quarter per cubic, foot. ? Brick would have cost 18 cents per foot. Of course the items named above will vary considerably in different places, but we believe they will generally fall below the prices we paid. " Tbe lime alone, at the rate it may be obtained in many parts oi tne ctaie, wJtld greatly reduce the cost. The days being ! enort and Cold the hands could not ao anyinm ! like a fair day's work. .In good weather, forty feet to the hand per day would not be too much to expect. And in putting up a large ouiiumg, the employment ot horse power to raise tue stone and mortar to the wall would effect a considera ble saving, There are somo considerations which recom mend this mode of building wherever the materi als for it are found 1. You obtain in this way a durable wall, supe- rior even to brick unless they are of the very t - 1 J best kind- It is the nature ot all lime anu sanu compounds to become constantly harder by age ; so that time improves this Kind or wa; , mW u . i m. . aa. in r.A . destroys most otners. j i e : dered proof against the A V M J J ravages oi lire. mends it especially to farmers, is that it may be built with yery little assistance, except wiut may K f.,r,i?lirirl hv the onlioarv farm hand . j --- - . . nrsu of crood iudzment, capable of managing a 1 .V - t i ii a- l: 1 1' tarui couiu Pu. f ; "- For a plain Jar m bouse nc couia o near y i whole of the worfey.even to the imisbing ou, e - ,.,n.r. t ii.i tii'f n iiinfr.nnifai Liiru as -uuiicu tue i.uuiv n uv. .... . , ... . . . .

' '"- ' 4.-Thc same material is well adapted to the building Cf the feett villa, or the plainest labor ers cottage, and it may be used for tuildiogbarns and outhouses: " To make it generally, used over the country, we believe it is only necessary that it should be once introduced. ' ' Although for somo Itls&isy to do fefiythiDg tbejr have heard of any one else doing, it is not so -with the majority. Most peasoas are slow to believe that the new can be better than what is old and well tried. It wul not be easy in the course of a short aitw been better. 'Cleats were nailed on the plark at intervals of four or five .feet to, keep theni from warping. The boxe? were made the width of tire required wall, and held together by wooden pins, with a head on one cod and a hole in the other to" receive a key. To keep the box plank steady, clamps made of two inch scantling were placed on the boxes. Each clamp was two feet long, so that it embraced two boxes, when placed the one immediatelyjover the other. The pins passed through the clamps and boxes. Having formed a box the length and width of the wall, it was filled with the mortar and stone, and then the second box placed on top of the first, and also filled. The material in the first box having had some time to harden (from two to four days ac cording to the weather) the box was takea off by drawing the pins. This box was then placed a- i .i : . i-.rMi i i .! Dove tue remaining oue anu again mieu. ry mis boii the leDgtU of the wall. '1 be principal diffl- do t. Puttins ,p this kiDd efwdCh ia LeepinK it straight and perpendicular. Ihe boxes, unless they are made pretty with the wet material York, when buildin and nailed the bo means it is easier to keep the wall perpendicular, but as the scantling are worked into the wall, they must weaken it by partially cutting it in two. As much mortar was made at otie time as could be put up in a day. The smaller stones were1 mixed witli the mortar in the bed, the larger stones were put directly into the boxes. This mode of building is sometimes called new, but that is entirely a mistake. In the life of Gen. O'dethorpe, presented to the Gecrgia Ilis- torical Society, oy xuomus cpuiuuig, xjsu., anu published iu the first volume of the u Collec tions" of the Society it is stated that this materi- al was much used by Gen. Oglethorpe 4n the e " Tabby (not tappy, as some nave named it) I a mixture of lime, sand and shells, or lime, sand and gravel, or lime sand and stones, in equal pro portions, with an equal proportion of water to mix tbe mass. This muss well mixed together, is placed between two boards, kept apart by wooden plugs, with double heads, of a length proportion ate to the thickness of the intended wall. These pUmLs or beards may run all around your build r . . . ,. r i i in??. rwinx about one loot at a umo.

You may gen- . 1 l . j I e rally with safety go with this wall two rounds or ! feet a week in toe sammcr, cuieimj? ocr juur j work iu stormy or rainy weather. 1 he task 1 have j required in this work is thirty cubic feet per day, to mix the material, fill in and settle down within the plank moulds. This is about equal in 'quan tity of wall to six hundred common bricks, the laying of which alone, exclusive of the cost of the bricks, would be quite equal to the mixing and is supposed from Roman story, that the walls of Saautum arouud which Hannibal and the Scipi os battled, were built of tabby. It is known that there are many walls of this material m Spain, which have resisted the elements for many centu ries. John Gray Jackson, the late Consul Gen eral in Morocco, speaks of a tower at Mogadore, which is known to be eleven hundred years old, .nd which is now as firm and beautiful as when first erected. This was the material which Gene ral O'dethorpe employed in all his civil and mili tary works; and why men coming after him did not continue to do so, 1 know not."

In roasting, therefore, it should be exposed to a quickv fire, that the external surface raLiybe made to contract at once, and the albumen to coagulole, bcfore the by the admission of water among it. hen cut up, therefore, the meat yields much gravy," and L rich in flavor. Hence a beef Ktakc or a" mwt-r ton chop? done quickly and over a quick fire tint the natural juicu may be retained. On tie other hand, if the meat be exposed to a alow fira lti pores remain open, the juice continues to now n within, as it has dried from the sarfaccand from flesli nines, and becomes dry, hard al unravory. Or if it be put into ced or tepid water, which is afterwards gradually" brought to a boil, much pf the albumen is extracted before it coagulates, the natural juices for tbe most part flow o:t,nd the meat U served in a nearly tasteless fctate. Hence to prepare good boiled meat, it should he - put aV once into vatcr already brought to a toil. But 'W make beef tea, mutton broth, and ether meat soups, the .flesh should be put into cold water, and this afterward very slowly warmed, aud finally boiled.
