Just before planting, the land should be laid ott'iiito rows, with a bull-tongue plow, fife feet apart, perfectly horizontal, for the pur pose ul retaining the light showersof rain; permitting as many of them as practicable to enter into the upper side of the ditches, in order to part with the heavy ones. Then it should receive broadcast, at least, 200 lbs. of IVruvian Guano to the acre or as much bone dust, stable, hogpen, or compost ma nure, as will enable the land to produce an abuntlant crop of corn if it is not rich; as it is impossible for it to yield com without its component elements are present, or put into the soil. Twenty-five percent, of Plas ter Paris, or fresh charcoal pulverized, will fix the ammonia in the guano, and stable ma nure likewise, (if it is not permitted to e enpe by its accustomed exiiosure to rain and heat,) and render them vastly more product, itiveamJ permanent; ami as much ashes, or lime, should. be aiuleu in tunning the com post. While the fertilizer is beinrr cast on the land, it should be bedded with the largest sir.e single horse, (approved) cast plow, that M lSM$M!!XrKn tT,e rid're on either side' enough earth to form a suit bed for the corn, as well as to raise it above the damp, and sufficiently high to work the young plant. Open the same with a ilnrk bill plow-hoc, armed with wooden mould boards, long enough to make a drill six inches wide ami two ileen, lor the reception 01 tne kernels, which should be dropped three feet apart, two grains in the hill, and covered one inch deep only, w ith a board, attached to a' plow-hoe helve, about ten indies long, and scooped nut below. High land corn hon1d be planted by the more than was consumed in preparing the land. The cultivator leaves the corn roots and manure undisturbed in the beds; and as once going over the bed with it, is equiva lent tofuur or five lurrows with the common plow, we are thereby able to break the crust of the land often, which is all important in clayey ami adhesive soils; as the health of the plant, like that ol an animal, depends much on its breathing freely. This plan of cultivation will, almost to a certainty, produce an abuntlant crop of corn of an ordinary dry year, on half the land usually tilled ; and leave the labor, and nett proceeds of half the hands, horses, lands, uud food, to buy guano, or raise manure. - Com should not be gathered until the cob shall have shrunk enough to permit the grains to unite firmly ; as it is subject to be dam aged by heat, and the wevil, if pulled before; but it may be cut und stacked alter, the first frost, w ith but little loss early com by the lirst ot Uctober. 4 Fodder cannot be stripped from the stalk with impunity to the corn, until the com be gins to harden ; us the functions of the leaves of plants have been aptly computed to those of the lungs of a man and as indisputable experiments have amply proved, that the loss in the com amounted to a larger pur cent, than is caved by gathering the fodder too early ; it is all important, therefore, to make the state of the corn, instead of the fodder, the test of the time for pulling it. Dry silks, and rotting fodder, are no cri terion, as they are often the premature result of drought, or too much rain. In damp and cloudy weather, (odder may be fathered, and attached to the stalk, br a sin gle tie, with one of the withered blades, (without breaking it from the stalk,) which is then strong ami pliable, without much u any loss of time ; as it can be collected, when cured, as fast as the hands can walk, w ithout stoooinir. ami tied up much earlier in the moronis and afternoon, iu consequence of its uniform order, and is not .subject to be blown away anil soiled with dirt and rain. It should be housed, and closely bulked down, as it loses much of its weight and flavor by exposure in stacks. lu extenuation for the length of this Es say, we plead the importance of its subject to the welfare ol our community ; as failures to make supplies of corn have done more to depopulate our State than all other causes combined. But for your limited time, we should have enlarged upon each head ; and as deep plowing has lately been mooted in J.hj.,.JK$y"uf its' poweiorbsorption and retention of mowture, and endurance in rainy season, as we I as to have invited your consideration to the susceptibility ol a field thus levelled by this plan of cultivation, for rest, fallow or improvement, ami lor tne re ception of peas, and the cereal grains, es nedallv wheat, which may be put in will the "Joint Cultivator" without pulling the corn. And as experience is the most per auasive nod reliable argument, also tu have reported, in detail, in confirmation of litis plan, a crop thus cultivated, which w ill com mie favoiablv with any ; though it had tin thiction of plants which are ued for food. Pure rainwater, as it fall, would diisolve but a very small proportion of some of these stibsianee, but when it becomes soaked into the earth, it there becomes ationgty imbued with carbonic acid from the decomposition of vegetable matter in the soil, and thus acquires the property of rcatlily dissolving mineials on which before it could have very little influence. I was lirst led In the consideration ol the ubive subjects by finding on re-examination of a soil which I analyzed three or four years ago, a larg er quantity of s particular mineral substance than I at first found. As none had been applied in the meantime, the thing was difficult of explana lion, until I remembered the laie long and pro tracted drought. I then also remembered that in Zaratera, and several oilier provinces of South America, soda was obtained from the bottom of pond, which were dried in the dry, and again tilled up in the rainy season. A the above ex planation depended on the principles of natural philosophy, I at once instituted seveiai expert ments to prove its truth. In a glass cylinder was placed a small quan tity of chloride of barium, in solution ; this was then filled with a dry soil, and a lung limo ex posed lo the direet rays of the sun on the sur face. The soil on the surface of the cylinder wss now treated with sulphuric: acid, and cave a copious ptecipilate of baryta. lite experiment was varied by substituting chloride of lime, sulphate of soda, and carbonate of potash, lor the chloride ol barium, and on the proer re-agents being applied in every instance the pretenre nf those substances was detected in large quantities on the surface of ihs soil in the cylinder. Here, then, was proof positive and direct, by plain experiment in chemistry and natural phi losophy, of the agency, the ultimate, beneficial agency of droughts. We see, therefore, in this, that even lltoso things which we look upon as evils, by Provi dence are made blessings in disguise, and thai we should not murmur even when dry seasons alllicl us, for Ibey loo are for our good. The early and the latter rain may produce at once abundant crops, hut dry weather is also a beneficial dis pensation ol Providence, in bringing lo the sur face for future crops, which otherwise would be forever useless, treasonable weather is enod for the present, but droughts renew the store-houses of plant in the soil, and furnish an abundant supply of nutriment for future crops. JAMES UIUUINS, Pcnn. State Agricultural Chemist. CLI.NUMA.VS PEAKE. Washington, Nov, 13, 155. Di:au Siu ; The following communication has been received from the Hon. Mr. ('ling- ) man, relative to the mountain region nt N. Carolina, which you will obligu the Smith- ' soman Institution by publishing in your Val- uuuic pupcr. it contains iniormaiion oi an interesting character relative to the topog raphy of a portion of our country but littlo known. The highest point of the Dlack Mountain, now known by tho name of "Cling -man's Peak," is probably the most elevated point east ol the Rocky Mountains. JOSUPII IlKNltY. Sec. KiniihdOiiiiin lust. To tho Editor of the Spectator. Aslicvillc, N.C., Oct. 80, issn. -Mv Dfar Snt; The interest you mani fested a year or two since, with reference' lo one ol the mountains in our region, in duces me to address this letter to you. From' lime to time there have-been discussions us' to where the highest point of land is to be fot'ml, east of the Mississippi river. You doubtless recollect a controversy as to the relative height of the White Mounlaiii of N. Hampshire, and the lllack Mountain of N. Carolina. Prof. M itched succeeded, 1 think, in making it appear, that that portion of the lllack Mountain, since called "Mitchel'a Peak," or Mount Mitchcl," was higher than "Mouut Washington," the most eleva-. tett point ol the lute Mountain range. But even at the time of this measurement, I was of the opinion that he had not suc ceeded in gettiug upon the highest point of the Black Mountain. In our frequent con versations, both before and since that time, he did not appear to feel at all confident ou the subject, it is with reference to the fact that another peak of the mountain is "higher than any ascended, or measured by liiui, that I now propose to speak. It may appear strange to some persons, at a distance, that at this time, there should be any doubt as lu a fact, capable seemingly of so easy demon stration. 1 hose whohavc been on the moun tain, and who therefore know the difficulty, heretofore, of getting to the top, do not share in this feeling. When, some twenty years ago, Mr. Mitchcl began his observations w ith reference to the height of the mountain, it was much more inaccessible, than it has since become, by reason of the progress of the settlements around its base; so that he was liable to be misled and thwarted by un foreseen obstacles in his efforts to reach par ti'iii imam 'some part ot the top ol the ridge, nature was too much exhausted to allow more than an observation as to the immedi ate locality. It has happened that in his sev- I era! attempts, both I rout the north and the ma BBArrirTf. Florae. Two painters were em- ed for lh purpose, some forty feel from tile floor.

Soon as the grass appears on the beds, and immediately after every heavy rain, if possible, harrow the beds with .Sin clair's "Five Tooth Fxpansive Cultivator ;" which will gradually level them, by tilling up the corn furrow. By the 1st of July the corn should have a thin Hat hill. Rich and fresh lands require another weed ing between the staiks, and around stumps.
