'Dear Sir: Knowing thri derp interest you feel in Agriculture, and especially any thing that relates to the improvement of the soil, and believing as 1 du that those inte-, rests would be promoted by a more freqoent communication among larmers in regard to their practice and experience, must be my apology for addressing you this communica tion. ' ' " ;'' " " ' ' .'About twenty years ago 1 determined to try what improvement I could make on a small portion of mv farm by the use of clo ver and plaster. For the purpose of making the experiment, 1 selected a field of about thirteen acres, the soil of which was light and sandy. 1 had cleared this field, and had it in cultivation about eight years before I commenced to use clover and plaster on it ; during this time it hart been producing an averBge ,f abnut nine bushels of w - boutSwentyaeven bushel of c.n heat and corn to the acre. 1 commenced mr eltorta to improve the soil by sowing it with about one gallon and a half of clover seed and about one hundred pounds of plaster to the acre. I soon found that the plaster acted well on the soil, produced a very heavy crop of clover, which, was allowed to remain on the .land, without either mowing or pasturing it oil', for three years ; at the end of which time it was ploughed up, in the month of March or April, when the clover was in a dry state, and planted in corn, and the next summer it was left over for stalk fallow and sowed with wheat in the fall, and again sowed with clo ver and plaster in the spring, and the same routine continued up to the present time ; that is to say, first either two or three years in clover without nasturins; or mowing any part off it off, then com succeeded by wheat on a stalk fallow. " The remit of this practice is that the pro duct of this field has been more than doubled, and is still increasing. For the last eight veara it ha averaiM'il nnwnrtl of twentT bushels of wheat a nil about forty-five bushels of corn: and last season, when the wheat crtm in tlus section of country was remark ably lieht and of a very poor quality, 1 har vested from this field twenty -four bushels of blue stem white wheat of excellent quality, and weighing sixty-four pounds to the bush el. It may be proper to remark that no fer tilizer lias ever been used on this field, ex cept the clover aud plaster, row, whether this imnrovement is the ,-- - whether t is mainly at- erii'Ct ol shade, or tributable to the decomposition of vegetable matter in the soil, I will not attempt to de cide. . I merely give you a faithful statement of the mode of culture and the result, and will leave it to you and others to draw youri ow ii inlereiices.

'Thj Fayetteville' Observer of the 12th ult., fills one of its broad columns with an account of The Tory Massacre,' by Richard Ever ett, which seems' to call for' some notice at our hands.'" y'' .'" '''- ' The writer opens with the remark that two months ago he made'a tour of the Southern States, " and tarried a while at the little vil lage of Hillsborough," "a short distance" from which " in his memorable retreat across North Carolina in February, 1781, the ragged but gallant army of Gen. Greene forded the river Haw." "Not far from Hillsborough we were shown the scene of a terrible mas sacre of tones by the troopers of Lee's Le eion." Hillsborough,'1' our'5 readers ' need scarcely be informed, is on the River Eno, in the county of Orange, not nearer than oiirlitpn miloa tn 4lif. inril' iif Haw rive-r. crtssed by Pickens and Lee in pursuit of I Tarlton. Gen. Greene, in his rapid retreat. did hot cross the river at all. "The scene of Pvle's discomfiture is in the vicinity of I Graham, in the county of Alamance, distant some twenty-five miles from Hillsborough. The writer is not more precise and accu- rate in the statement of the number- and character the 'American forces who- par-1 ticinated in tlie kombat than i his du.-iSna t tion of the battlefield, I" Aa a preliminary step t the movement of the whole armv, Greene sent Col. Henry Lee with his legion of cavalry.'and two companies of Maryland militia to harrass the British force, and dis perse the bands of tories which were organ izing throughout the Carolinas." ! Cot. Lee had formed a squadron of cav alry,: uniformed and armed precisely alter the fashion of Tar! ton's celebrated corps, and no wan in the American service was more dreaded by the foe than Legion Harry." Mr. Everett having thus stated the num ber and character of our forces, proceed with an interesting but not very accurate account of the circumstances under which entrapped and vanquished. If"" f business, and I was surprised to imation, howeter, that Gen.!""11 what alrtiuUnt materials could with the tories were 1 here ia no intimation Pickens, at the head of thirty or forty gallant men from Georgia and miih Carolina, and more than six hundred militia from Meck- lenburg and Rowan were present aad quite as conspkoo'J in tl' fJ " the.
