J Sit I herewith transmit to the Iiwtl fate a small apecimen of vegetable eilk, i r-ie J from a few seed that I received from 1 Lucca, which originally came from Syria. Without any initruction or knowledge of this plant I towed the acede ia pou ia the month of March last. Ia Mty and Jane, they obtained the height! of tiz to eight inches, when I transplanted them In to my garden about eight inches apart much too near as experience proves. In the months of August and September they opening ia October, the rUnu beinr from six to eight feet high, and though we have had the thermometer frequently aa low as 42 Fahrenheit, aad the apricot and po megranate tree, with the vine, have all shed their leaves, yet there remain several Pods oa the -silk plaotM which are per fectly green, and show no signs of suf ferine or cold. This, with some oilier proofs of the plant being hardy, induces me to believe and hope that it might be auecetafully cultivated in all our cotton growing states, and should it become a sta ple commodity, mi ilvuoirm luteuuvc-genius of our countrymen would eooa dis cover the means of spinning it without the aid of the cotton fibre, which t am told they ute in Syria to attiat in spinning, their knowledge of the art not extending beyond the primitive distaff. The only informa tion that I have acquired of this plant, far ther than recounted above, is from the mouth of one of the M propaganda' estah-l lithed here, who has seen it growing in Sy-' faV wetftAOA It a 111 at avaa aft vstatc Itai mwA 1 tea we wivj aiv avian saat, ao iihiioii if saaau that M the culiivatinn of a small field gives a support to a family; that in the second and third years it is extremely productive. The plants grow to the height of ten and fifteen feet, and are generally separated from 8 to 10 feet from each other. I alto forward you by this occasion the small quantity of seed of the plant which the limited number I have raised enables me to spare, with the hope of sending a greater quantity next year, should the cli mate of our southern atates prove favora ble to its culture, or should it even be otherwise interesting. I beg you will distribute these seeds amongtt those gentlemen of our cotton growing states' who wilt take an interest in making an experiment of the cultiva tion.

The Artichoke is ono of the most prolific of roots, and can be grown to great advan tage as feed for hogs.' If an acre of low, rich, moitt ground, be planted with it, 3 by 2 feet apart, and tended as corn is, a thousand bushels may be grown thereon, and as to the digging and feeding, the hogs will do that for themselves, if turned into the lot in the fall, and thus save the lobor of gathering. They are fully as nutricious as potatoes, thrice as productive -and, we believe, when once planted, will seed the lot of themselves for many successive years. There are thousands of acres in the South, which do not now bring their own ers a groat a year, that might be convert ed into Artichoke autumnal pastures for hogs, and we especially commend our Southern friends to look to it. The sub ject is eminently worthy of their consi deration. By fencing in a few acre of such lind on each plantation, plant ing it in artichokes, and turning the hogs in as soon as the seed is ripe in the fall, a plentiful supply of the very best food may be secured to bring them fat to the pens, to that they would only require a suffi ciency of corn to harden the flesh. Such a course of provident economy, would ena ble Southern Jplanters to raise their own bacon, and save to the State in which it might be pursued, thousands and tens of tnoucands of dollars annually, that arc now wwioitttoporchaaepork.

Thia is a standing re proach to the agriculture of the south. lAittrnt This is found to rrow well here.

Cat tle and horses eat it greedily; a cow fed on it chiefly, it yielding at this time between five and six gallona of milk daily; when at yet there ia no gratt in the woods or on the common, sufficient to change the poverty striken appearance of the e'l --: -range." 1 oave maue no bay from tt; but have do doubt it will make good hay. Guinea Gratt. "I he root is similar to that of the cane or reed, and it it perennial. The item and blade are like thote of the Egyptian Millet. Oa rich soil it it very luxuriant, yielding many cuttings in the course of the year. It is good for soiling horses and cattle eat it readily, and if cut when in flower, it makes a hay most abun dantly, of which cattle feed greedily in win ter. 'Horses do not seem to like the hay.

Hogs root after them with great eagerness; and as the tendency of this plant is to fill the ground with roots in so thick a mat that the grass does not grow tall in conse quence, the idea suggests itself of pasturing cattle on this grass in the spring and sum mer, and giving the hogs the benefit or the roots in the winter. They cannot destroy it; the smallest fibre left in the ground will grow. It might be a great great pest in a garden, but if land is to be used for stock it will take and maintain entire possession to the exclusion of any competitor which we have in middle Alabama. Ciovtr and Utrd't Gratt. have now a beautiful lot of these grasses in conjunc tion on high land; the whole about knee high, and. the Clover in flower. Mr. Kir by, one of my neighbors, cut the wood from a piece of low pipe clay, crawfish land, last winter; and when the brush, Lc. ! lying on the ground became sufficiently dry, he set hie to it and burnt it oft; thus giving it a lop dressing of ashes. He then sowed Herd's grass on the top of the ground, without plow, harrow, or any thing of the kind. He now has a most rich ana beautiful crop of this grass growing.' If de sired, your leaders may obtain further par ticulars of this crop. - Ltersia Orizoidet, (riet grai.)-i-This plant so much resembles rice that only a practiced eye can distinguish them. The negroes on the rice plantations in Carolina call it the rice's cousin. It will grow wherever rice will in the water or in any damp situation. It is found in all the southern country; grows tall," seeds in a panicle not unlike a head of oats, and will yield two crops a year of choice hay. Roots perennial. B. M. Tuscaloosa, Alab.

Stock harden the land too much immediately af ter mowi g, and the ground should not be kept bare, on account of the burning rays of the tun.

But M'Leod'a waa ool a temporary mala dy; week after week aped by, and be lay there still, a utrlett, poverlett man. The nature f hit complaint affected he spir its, aad he seemed fast sinking into a ttait of helplett despondency. Id vain did Nora, wuh her bright face and cheerful eoiee, slightly indicative of her Hiberni an origin, eodeacor to contole him. When the tick man indulged in ttd propheciet of the poverty which he insisted would ere long come upon them, Non would gaily repeat to him the Irish proverb, Cheer up, my darling, there's a silver lining to every cloud." But they eould nt live upon amilea and cheering words; and proverb, however true, are at un profitable at thev are stale. By drgrres their Iive-stnck diminished; some strayed, othrra were shot by some wandering ri flemen, a few fell tick, and a tribe of In dians, who were encamped near, did not scruple to lay iheir hande upon such ss rame within their reach. Happily for No ra, tbeae Indians belonged to a friendly tribe, oiherie her far of thrm wsuld have been still greater than it was. She eould not accustom herself to iheir wild and savage appearance; snd the dread seemed mutual, for ths Indians seldom ap proached the abode of the white men. M'Leod had tunk a considerable portion of hit little fortune in the purchase of land, stock, &c. trusting lo his own in dustry snd exertions for the future sup port of his family. After a tme, then, the destitution which the sick imagination of the poor Scotchman had ao long in ticipated, stared them in the faee. The wife, notwithstanding her hopeful spirit, began lo detpond; and her husbtid's health grew daily worse. The feelings of tsdnets and gloom was s new and un accustomed one to Nora; so new.' that at first the unwelcome tenants could fiud no abiding-place in tier heart.

It was to de cide s bet made by the drier that he would wuh this tirsnge vehicle and team make the tour ol the whole boulevards in tbir iy-five minuter; and st the end ol thirty, three minutes he had completely accom plished hia undertaking by turning to ihe spot from which he had set out. The charioteer then coolly releated his esttle. rapped each of them in s small blanket, snd carefultv hid them in hit own car riage, into which one of hit groomt also entered and relumed to hit lordship's res idence, while he bimielf walked coolly away, having by the makes and the bete he had made gained 600 aterling.
