ROTATION OP CROPS, AND THE REA- Tfie practice of 'Agriculture consists of a scries of operations, by which we endeavor to raise from the land the most valuable pro duce it i capable of yielding; with a httle cost a possible, and with the least injury to the oif. An ignorant person might roan age to draw from the land very heavy crops of corn for a ahort time, and in doing ao he might seriously damage the property. Where as, another, possessing a practical knowl edge of good tystems, might succeed in re alising the same value of prodoce without injuring the character of the land. It has therefore, been accepted as an established principle, that a judicious succession of cropa is advantageous lor aiding the firmer to produce the best crops he can with the least detriment to the land. Experience proves to every obserint persun, that, un der our ordinary practice, the repeated growth uf any crop upon the same piece produces a gradual decrease in the quantity which the land is capable of yielding. Tins takes place more rapidly in some soils and under some crops than "others, but the same fact standi ut in all the light of an accept- ea trutn. iow, to wnat causes can we trace this? The only two changes which this plant can have produced in the soil are the addition of notious matter and the abstrac tion of fertilizing matter. It has been well argued that a plant, during the period of its grow tn, Having received trom various !j?wrB iw 0PP!i ?f f". appropriated for the purpo-.es f its own development such matter as It required, and ejected bv . . . . , nUJnlv. ,,! ,U m.cUliar aversion whicti beasts manifest to their various excrements shows the means which Nature has planted in each to lead them to avoid that which would be, not only useless, but really inju rious.

Every successive crop of the name plant having removed similar materi als, tne proportion of these ingredients of the soil which remainod was thus gradually reduced by every crop. If the soil were rich, it could withstand the attack for a Ion- tttoaaf e.r f inm Intn il a f A'0 fal tvnte an this fact alone lead us to see the cause. If we have a soil rich in the in organic elements required by the crop, such a soil would bear a longer succession but, if deficient in these mineral matters, amore speedy failure of the crop is the result. Should a soil possess some of the ingredi ents in abundance, whilst others which are esacatiat to the growth of the crop are defi cient, the productiveness of the soil will be regulated by the latter. Thus land may be exhausted o'f certain ingredients which" the crop requires, and consequently become in capable of producing it in luxuriance, or even in a remunerative degree, whilst it may still possess all the other ingredients in abundance. For crops, therefore, which re lied upon those materials vet remaining in tha land, it would still be fertile or productive.- " - -: -'. , -!. , This explanation has been very generally accepted as a substitute for the excrcmcnti- tious principle l)Qin namend i and there is much truth in the. rgurrient based upon the exhaustion of the buil. Still we are far from being disposed to consider this as fully ex plaining the principles which are embodied in this interesting object. We mult ever remember, that,-whilst we .'seek truth, we must not rest upon a few fragments, although they may be in tke'nselves perfectly cor rect; that in the. fusions of .vegetable life many principles are involved. Lat us prize eac lias we discoy" them,' and await with Eatience and preserving industry 'until we ave gained tho.t5iat remain. These will ultimately dov e-tail in with those We al ready know, and render the series complete. Whilst, therefore, v cannot consider that the necessity for a Judicious succession of crops winch will uvor the lertility in the in open reueuion,a;tHinst mm, as regards the land depends wholly upon the exhaustion observance of the Sabbath, how foolish, how of the mineral ingredients ,of the soil, yet preposterous, how mad is it, to rely upon his we are fully justified in stating the fact i favor !

Yh' then would ac- In another page of this-magazine we havejeept a boon, knowing it to have been pur inserted a table, which will give the reader i chased at the price of rebellion against the a dear view ot the mineral matter wincn our crops contain. As the soil is the only source from wliich these materials can be procured, it will be 'evident that without a due consideration r,f these facts, we can not have safe information to guide us, either as to the best succession ot crops: or en- able us to compensate the natural deficien- cv go produced in our soils, bv the aid of manures. There is a remarkable difference in the e food required by different crops. For ex ample, our corn crop take from 65 lbs. to I4j lbs. ol silsca per acre, but other crops from G lbs. to 20 lbs., whilst the root crops make a demand upon the sou f ir the mka- lies (p'ts'i and soia) lir in excess ol that required by the corn. In like manner, we observe other equally important and singu lar differences ,n th, demands made upon the soil. This variation in some taea-ure explains the adoption of certain rotations, whereby the crops are placed in that order of succcssimi hick anil distribute tin de mands as much as possible, instead of al lowing them to concentrate too much at any period of the course.

Be sides, what is true of individuals, may not be true of a generation or of a nation, for God visits the iniquities of ' the fathers up on the children, ot the third and fourth gen eration," and no, one is likely to know, or can know the extent of the mischief of a sin gle act of disobedience, until it shall be ex posed by the omniscient Judge, who can nave tut one rule of action,' and who cannot vary either in the estimate or judgment of the misdeeds of his creatures. If our lives are made up, or checkered with violations of his most sacred injunctions, how can we hope to escape the judgments which he has threatened against these violations? If, as individuals, communities, or a nation, we live umjriitv uour We, as a perible, flatter ourselves that our cause is favored of God that lie will assur edly aid us in our present struggles against a powerful, ambitious and unscrupulous toe; that in his providence He will work out for us a perltct deliverance ; that He will em ploy the winds of heaven to scatter his i fleets, and that He will even turn the wea- pons of our enemies against themselves.

A great deai'more was.invoh . ed in those disputes, as it respected Great Britain, than the mere value of the local territories that were implicated. : It must be recollected that that power not only possesses immense domains in the in terior of this continent, jut north of the United States, having resources of timber, minerals, and agriculture, admitting of great development, and representing vast elements of wealth; but that it posseases dominions in the East Indies of stupendous magnitude, and of value almost incalculable. The t-hort-est passage to these latter is aline ot steam ship and railroad communication stretching from Liverpool west to Portland, Maine; from this latter city, straight across the con tinent, in every foot, except through Maine, over British territory, to; Vancouver' on the Pacific sea-board; "and thence by direct steam line to China or Australia.
