11 rv I A. L . i , 1 ' 2ft , ; PLA2JS FOB. THE YEAH. A person who first VisU one of oar best man-- ufectories, is struck With . th perfect order And Tfeni that prevail in every "part of theestab lishiaenL . Every mail is busy, ami ever one knows his place ; every part o the machinery is perfectly adapted to its intended urpose, slow and powerful in one part, and light and ! Tapid in another ; the power applied to move .the whole is just sufficient for all its rnuUifari-1 . cms operations, and none is wasted; the rough ', anateriel is-carefully worked up in such a way I that nothing is lost ; and skillful' calculation are made of all the expenditures as compared j with the future profits, and the whole carefully i recorded by skillful clerks'; in such a manner thai ; those transactions that contribute most to profijfc i or those which occasion loss, are quickly de- j tected. '"'-'' . Is ifso with tho farmer?, Does he so arrange his business that every hired man is occupied;, knowing at any moment what work is assigned j him, and so that none are idle at one time, and again overwhelmed with accumulated ork at j another ! Is. the team power perfectly adapted j to the amount of tillage iu view, with steady la- ; bor, and without orer-driving ? . Is the systein i of business such-that the farm-fwces may b- ; evenly distributed through the season ? And, '. above all,-has the careful and keen-sighted far mer ascertained by accurate accounts and -by j weighing-and measuring, which of his operations j are paying him best, taking th cost of the j rough material, the expense of working it over, ; and its ultimate avail, all together in'.o the esi- ' mate. " ; The farmer's rough material tht land, and , the .manure appplied to enrich it is too often ; left out- of his calculations. He counts only the amount of money received at the end of tin; i year, and the cost of labor, but nothing more. A system of cropping -is pursued that 'appears to be profitable, because it returns money ; but , if it is really impoverishing land, the owner is j really selling off his farm piece meal, and it is ; ,, . , ' . i , as great an error to call such a course profitable- j M it would be to sell off a ten-acre slice each : year, and throw )the avails promiscuously into ; the sales of crop. Nay, it is better toj reduce ; the farm in Bize, than to 'reduce it in quality, for j the reason that a sinalPand fertile farm yields j more nett profit, than the same prduce( from a -j larger' estate cultivathd at a greater cost. Ma nufacturers are very careful of the rough mate- J rial let no' farmer be less so, because unlike : them, he is not compelled to buy Ins supply every ' year, for a bale of raw cotton or a ton of wi ol j ia worth as much h.'n left .by-inheritance as ; when paid for each day in cash. An interesting I proof of the deceptiveness of present profit was j furnished by an experiment performed some years ago in England with two distinct plans tf j rotation, one, with the wheat , crop occurring ': frequently, and constituting a more exhausting ; course; and the other, more beneficial to the j oil,-but' affording less return in -cash. Atti$t i the close-CFOjing course appeared decidedly the ; most remunerative ; but in the course of years.! the other had so improved the land, that the minor or secondary , crops themselves proved as profitable as the wheat crop had formerly been, . which now far exceeded them, and thus render- i ed the enriching course the best, even throwing out of view its influence on the soil. ." j Aa even distribution of Jabor is of much im portance, and not - unfrequently entirely oyer-, looked. Hands hired for the season commonly.; corne to understand the routine of work much better than day hands, and they work more ; cheaply. A farmer sows half his fields with.: wheat, with the hope of realizing a fine sum." of j money: but after the wheat, is sown, his nin 'have but little to do that is profitable until the next harvest, when, he may be compelled to pay j double or even triple wages, all of which trim i down ih profits, and say nothing about the j " rough mateiials." ; The appropriation 'of land to the production of some particular product ox- j elusively, has been beautifully advocated by the- i orists, but in long practice it wjll not be found to compare with mixed husbandry, that is, with . the judicious rotation of crops, combined with" raising full herds of domestic animals for the production of manure. In other words, raise plenty of animals, to enrich the crops, which are to feed the animals again. This action and re action is the very best way to create a plentiful surplus for sale, and at the same time preserve or increase the fertility of the farm. There.is.no error more eoiiiraort1 than the im- perfect execution of certain ooeralions w hen th farmer finds4iimeif behindhand, witil i a oe- ficiency of hands. This error is the cause of the luxuriant growth of mulleins and thistle . often seen in pastures ; and of the heavy coat ing of weeds which overpower young loot crops, and choke the free'' growth of cprn and potatoes. These often consume all the lieu pro fits of the crop, and a defective plan thjus coin pels the- farmer Xo labor for nothing. Ve have known a crop of oats so diminislid bjy a f-w days delay in sowing in.spring, and a largo field of wheat by a similar delay in autumn, as bare ly to pay for seed and labor, which ; otherwise ' might have yielded a heavy return, j There is no remedy for these evils but a care ful and accurate plan of operations at tiiie com mencement of the year. The course Sof crop ping should be distinctly marked out leforehand, and the number of acres determined for the oats, barley, corn, potatoes, carrots, wheat, coru . fodder, and so forth ; the amount of lubor for each of these may be nearly estimated, land the time in the season when each should be full v complctei ; and then, making allowance fbr in terruptions, accidents, and rainy weather, the requisite force may be timely secured Jand the . whole machinery move on with regularity -and wif'-out Any derangement. All these plan must be fully recorded in a book kept for the purpose if the memory is depended on, confu sion and failure will be the certain result. If possiUe,jthe year's plans should be so complete ly digested,- that the operations of eveVy week may be distinctly laid down on a pag allottees for each ; the necessary variation of a few days according to the earliness or lateness of the sek on, may be-easily made afterwards. On such a book aa this, notes may be made with jthe pro gress of the season, thus perfecting the plan for a second year, A few minutes daily devoted in this way, will accomplish much that is valuable for the farmer, and prevent a great deal! of anxi ety and cocfuMonCoimry Gentleman. ... . . i -1' - z FALL PLOWING WHY BENEFICIAL. :', rufrred to this eubiect. 1 " i and have shown how this practice operates Den- eficiallv noon the soil. There is still another enciaiij upon lt view to be taken -fit, worthy ot jraetical con- sidcration. It U perhaps true, .jh general, that' ivhen ri-Ids are plowed' in the tall, K-larger nen , . , . , ;-. -i amount of vegetable ivniUer is buried in the sou, , ' , : j f,,., ; t,e than when the operation s d-k-i red to uie st.rino-. 'Th br.w!Wr of Cfettle, and perhaps a 1 ' . . , ,;., more thorough consumption by swme,. roaming freely over its surface, added to the. eneci M wind and storms, and the naturarchanges wuicn take place, when left on the surface, essentially diminish the rjuantitv-and quality of the staik and stubble, left originally by the reaper. A;fFrtt.r'c' in particular cases, mav be cf This no lit- tie practical importance. But there is another and more' important dif ference. Ceen crops decay much more rapidly than dry stubbie. If therefore green vegetable matter be plowed in in the fall, the early spring growth receives a far greater btnt-it from it than if the sajne matter had been left upon the surface, tliere to become ilry and more -capable of resisting the appliances which should hasten its decomposition". Every farmer's boy , knows the comparative readiness with which green hay when in a contined state, takes on fermentation, while that which is well cured endures almost any treatment nrt sti.i remain unchanged. Where the object only to lestore the elements j of fertility to the soil, without reference to tne .eed of its action, as already uggested,; the ar gument would still be in favc; of plowing it in when green. But when its fertilizing proper ties are needed by the young shoots of early sprinc, the importance of this point must be readily appreciated. For it should ever be kept in mind that health and vig r are of the uttno.-t importance in thj earliest stages of ,-.i.f.,l,!. stem, i growth. -Without a vigorous ro. there never can be a vigorous am plant; and though the case is not utterl hopeless, wnefl in its first efforts, the young shoot is obliged to 1 , . . r ii.. ' encounter even, a severe struggle, it is tar better ; to avoid this danger of its destruction. In gent eral, the character of its early' growth deter mines the .character of its entire growth. "Probably every farmer knows that, if, for a portion of the year, a sheep be but half .fed, the growth of his wool for that period will be mate- riaiiv affected. Th e fibre will be more sliui and j weaker ; and, as in the case of rope, no than its ! is.- to the "renter strain can tie put upon it be weakest part can endure, so it will Iw power of tlii fibre of wool. The vigor of any j ve"-''tat.le tissue is affected in a similar mariner, I not always, perhaps, beyond partial redress, but j r.ivays to the iojuiy of the plant. j Whatever then tends to a healthy and -vigorous growth, when the seed first puts forth, per- furm.-. a most important service. Green; crop, i when plowed under, do perform this service in J a much more speedy manner than dry suihblft, I and .hence! the careful farmer will endeavor to j avail himself .of all the benefits he can thus se cure to his hind. . It is in accordance-with this fact that in those 'districts where the art of Agriculture is carried on ;n e most thorough manm r, "green crops are often raise for the very purpose of being ; plowpr .under. Clover, buck-wheat, turnips, arid various other crops are sown with this sin gle design. Sometimes, two. t. t hree such crops are thus buried in the soil in a single sensun. It U on this principle, in connection with anoth er which re-snrd-s exa.-t similarity- in fhe "charac ter f the elements furnished and tho'se:deii:an- I'.ed bv the voutifj plant, that a manure of the i prynings of the grapu v ;e is more efficient for grapes than almost anv othe application. In diy, loose, sandy soils,' we d-uibt whether fail .lowing, of iti'!', i U be commended a!j oar philosophy is against it; and in practice we know of nothing which teaches of a different lesson. But even on such soil, if the-farmer will turB up the subsoil, which i.- often clay, and mingle that with thft lighter sand upon the surface, fall plowing will prove t be ;f great value. .The frosts and storms of winter will promote a thor onofh minliuii of the elements now bromdit in ta contact, and tiie labor nece-i-ary in thespritig to prepare it for seed will be comparatively h' ' ' v Os,r flvronn.fl.l -.iriit i iti ii hii'iImm.

The subscriber being now engaged in au! enlarge ment and completion of the life and Times of Henry -Clay, finds on examination of Mr. Clav's papers aud cor respondence at Ashland, that this Private Correspondence is of material importance for a complete exhibition of his character and history, and of those portions of the history ol the tunes with which he was connected. Ad Mr Clay , was not in the habit of taking copies of his oirii letters, they are now scattered over the country in the hands of his numerous correspondents, and have doubtless been preserved. N o matter how private or even confidential the correspondence may have been, if not of a nature to render its posthumous publication improper, it is a very effective mode of illustrating character, and is often im portant in history. The subscriber therefore respectfully and earugsuV requests all correspondents of Sfr. Clay whether in the earlier or latter periods of his life In public or in private stations, who may be in possession of original letters from Mr. Clay on any subject whatever not sacred to privacy after death, that thev wilt be plead ed, if not mconsistant with their feelings, to forward such letters to the publishers of the work, A. S. Barnes & Co 61 John street, New York ; and they mav be assured that the letters, will be returned, or subject to their order accor ding to instructions that may be given. . i ' . The subscriber will also b'e greatlv obliged for any com munications relating to .Mr. Clay "that mav be thought new and important, addressed to the care of A. S. Barnes A Co., as above mentioned.

Others, showing the va rious routes to the Pacific, by the Isthmuses of Panama, Tebuantepec, and Nicaragua, are now added, together with a new map of the Sandwich Islands. ( The information obtained with reference-to the new States and Territories west of the Mississippithe discove ries of'Lt. De Haven, in his search for Sir John Frank lin, and those ol late travelers in Central and Southern Af rica, as also in Australia, have been incorporated in the work. In short, it is.believed that no discovery or change of any. importance for the last ten years is left unnonced in this edition. The Atlas also contains nine quarto pages of statistical matter, arranged in tables, and obtained from the most authentic sources. These tables exhibit the heisht of the principal mountains and volcanoes the length of rivers.the ai-pa ot thp itrirtr.mal is ands and lakes, theextent and nnn- illation ot tne uiuereni countries, ana tne population 01 me principal cities upon the globe; all compiled from the latest and most reliable authorities. In the department of United States' statistics, the tables are very complete, and exhibit fully the civil, industrial and political conditi. -n ol the country, as shown by the census cf 1850. In addition to these tables, is one showing the railroads and canals of the United States, and one presenting at a glance the im portant events in the history of each State, and what will be invaluable to etfery teacher, a full table of the Educational Statistics of the Union.

The arrangements of the publishers are such that thev are enabled to give correctly all Ihe latest geographical discoveries. They publish the only full series of Geog raphies in the country, and having in constant employ a strong geographical force of map engravers and others, and being very largely engaged in the publication of the various States, and other maps, they are enabled to pre sent the School series correct, both in maps and matter, up to the date of publication.

M ETROPOL1TAN FEMALE SEMINARY. The subscriber proposes to open, on the second Monday in January next, in the City of Raleigh, a High School for young ladies, under the above title. For this purpose, he has purchased the property form ed owned, and employed for school purposes, Dy the late Rev. J. J. Finch. It is situated on Halifax street, a few hundred yards north of the Capitol, in a pleasant and desirable part of the city ; sufficiently near, to enjoy all the advantages of the city, and sufficiently retired to be free from most of its annoyance. He has purchased also an unimproved lot, in the same vicinity, one of the most eligible and beautiful sites in the city, upon which he intends, as soon as circumstances will admit, to erect large and commodious building, with special reference to school purposes. Many circum stances conspire to render Raleigh a most desirable location for a female school. Its proverbial hcakhlulness : the objects of interest, which attach to it, as the capitol of the State ; its accessibility by means of rail-roads ; the high character of tho institutions it already contains ; and its growing importance, giving promise of permanent pros- Eerity, are all circumstances which cannot be overlooked y parents, desiring to give their daughters a polite and an accomplished education. The subscriber will be assisted in the duties of the school by Mrs. McDowell and other competent and experienced instructors ; and all the facili ties necessary to a first class school, will be promptly provi ded. The course of instruction will be thorough ; embracing all the branches usually taught in High Schools or Col leges, and diplomas will be granted to those who com plete the cour.-e. Certificates of graduation will also be given in Music and other Ornamental Branches, to those who attain the requisite proficiency. The sessions and vacations will be arranged to corres- ?ond as nearly as practicable with those of Wake 'orest College, in order that parents patronizing both Institutions, may have the advantage of sending their sons and daughters together. terms per session.

But experience has taught that Parents, who properly ap preciate the education of their children, are more solicit ous about the character of the instruction imparted, than about tlio price paid for it. Hence tho prime object will not be to make die school n.t cheap as possible, but to render the instruction as ejju i ent ns possible.

And as he has undertaken this enterprise at the urgent solicitation of nunierous friends, and under the im pression that important interests may be subserved there by, he trusts that he shrill not lack that generous sympnthy ad libera! support which ha.-e been accorded" to him elsewhere. a.

The "Philadelphia Saturday Gazette," says, of Dr Hoofi-and'sGerman Bitters: '"It is seldom that we recommend what are 'termed Patent Medicines, to the confidence pnd patronage of our readers : and therefore when we recommend Dr. Hoofl and's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinctly under stood that we are not speaking of the nostrums of the day, that are noised about for a brief period and then forgotten after they have done their guilty race of mischief,Tut of a medicine long established, universally prized, and which has met the hearty approval of the faculty itself." " Scott's Weekly," said, Aug. 25 " Dr. Hoofland's GermanTBitters, manufactured by Dr. Jackson, are now recommended by some of the most .prominent memberfs of the faculty as an article of much efficacy in 'cases of female weakness. Persons of debilitated constitutions will find these Bitters advantage ous to their health, as we know from experience the salutary effect they have upon weak systems." MORE EVIDENCE. J. G. Moore, Esq., of the Daily News, said, October, " Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters. We are trying this renowned medicine for a stubborn disease of the bowels, and can with truth testify to its eScacy.

We have seen many flat tering norces of this medicine, and the source from which they came induced us to make inquiry respecting its merits. From inquiry we were persuaded to use it, and must say we found it specific in its action upon diseases of the liver and digestive organ, and the powerful in fluence it exerts upon nervous prosstration, is really sur prising. It caims and strengt hens the nerves, bringing them into a state of repose, making sleep refreshing. If this medicine was more generally used, we are satis fied there would be less sickness, as Irom the stomach, liver and nervous system, the great majority of real and imaginary diseased emanate. -Wave them in a healthy condition and you can bid defiance to epidemics general ly.

From the Sup plement to the Second Editiouof Dr. CHRISTISON S DISPENSATORY. Edinburgh, April, ViiS. "BEBERIXA is essentially that of a Tonicand Anti Periodic, and the forms of Disease to which it is applicable are the same 111 kind as those lor wtnen yuina is employ ed. It increases the appetite, iftfproves the tone of the constitution generally, and raises the pulse a little, but has not the same tendency as Quina 10 produce ringing in the ears, headache, Yertigo, and other symptoms of affection of the Nervous System., It was first used by Dr. Rodie iu the interraittents of Guiana; and the subse buent tests of Dr. Watt, iu Demerani,and by Army Surgeons, in the East Indies, leave no doubt that it possesses decided fibrifuge qualities. In many forms of disease in this country its efficacy is undoubteL periodic headache and other periodic Neuralgias readily yield to it. It appears to be specially applicable to persons of Strumous or Phthisical habit, aud has been found useful in the latter stages of Phthisis to counteract general debility and want of appetite, and check nocturnal pers piration. By many Oculists it has been found an effectual substitute for Quina iu Strumous Opthalinia. In Atonic Dyspepsia and states of debility generally, it has come into common use, and it has found especial favour with manv Accoucheurs in cases of pregnancy, requiring tonic treatment ; for all these purposes it has come into general employment in this Citv and other places in Britian. The close of Sulphate ofllebeerine is from one to three grains repeatedly as atonic, and from five grains fo a scruple as a fibrifuge. It may be given in pill with conserve of roses, or in solution. When spread upon the surface of visiter it dissolves almost immediately. ' Drs. Mackenzie, Macfarlaue, and Lawrie, G asgow; Professor Simpson and Dr. D. Maclagan, Edinburgh ; Dr. Nicholson, Deputy In spector of Hospitals, Madras; Dr. Dempster, H. M. 21st F usiliers ; Messrs Falconer, Anderso 1, Godfrey, and Doorward, of the East India Co.upany's Service, have employed it with decided success, where Quina, Arsenic, and other Medicines had failed, or required to be disrontinued. Dr. Macfarlaue gives his opinion of Bebeeriue as llovs : . " Glasgow, 12th June, 147. " Ouring the last two years I have used the Sulj hate of Bebeerine extensively in practice, and with decidedly benefical effects, as a general tonie and ns an anti-periodic and anti- 'euralgic remedy. Besides being much cheaper than the Sulphate of Quina, it is not so liable to excite the circulation or nervous system; it can, therefore, lie given in larger doses, and has frequently succeeded in my hands when other medicines have either failed or required to be discontinued. "JOHN MACFARLANE, M D." The following is from Dr. James A. Lawrie : " I hive used the Sulphate of Bebeerine extensively in all cases in which Quinine and vegetable tonics are given. I have found it so beneficial that 1 have lately f -escribed it more requently than any other medicines of the same class, and would beg to recommend it strongly to the notice of the profession. I have found it succeed in Neuralgic pains when every other medicine had failed. "JAMES A. LAWRIE, M.D., " Professor of Surgery, Anderson's University, " Surgeon, Glasgow Royal Infirmary." Of the purity ol the Bebeerine, manufactured by Inner arity &, Co., Dr. R. D. Thomson gives the following Cenifieate : " Glasgow College, 18th May, 1848. " I have examined a sample ot Bebeerine, prepared by Messrs. Innerarity and Co., and have no hesitation in stating that it is the bestwhich I have seen in the market. It is quite soluble in hot or cold water, and is therefore well adapted for prescriptions ; affording with water an almost amber-coloured solution. 1 consider this medicine, as manufactured by Messrs. InncTarity &. Co , to be an elegant'preparation. " R. D. THOMSON, M.D. Lecturer on Chemistry in the University ol Glasgow." Dr. Mackenzie, Surgeon-Oculist to her Majesty, (tor Scot land,) and Lecturer on the Structure, Functions, and Diseases of the Eye, in the University of Glasgow, gives his opinion in as favorable terms. In a Report (to Dr. D. Maclngan, of Edinbuigh.1 of .1 second s-ries of cases where Bebeerine had been emp toyed. Dr. Watt says " That one paroxysm does sometimes come on after its full exhibition ; but ts tiir as my experience yet goes, no second paroxsym. It is important that Ihis should be fully known, otherwise disappointment is sure to follow, ' We have good reason to anticipate how far superior Bebeerine wili prove in those diseases (Intermittent and Remittent Fever,) in that it leaves the head and nervous system comparatively free and unaffected ; while in no case within my knowledge has it ever caused irritability of stomach or cold sweat.

" I remain, Sirs, your obedient servant, " GEO. W. CAMPBELL, M.D. " Messrs-. Innerarity & Co., Glasgow." " Bebeerine may be given in Wine, Water, Syrup or other Liquids ; but, like Quina, is incompatible with earthy and alkaline substances, or their carbonates: with Tea and Coffee it also incompatible.

Transactions Roval Society, Ed inburgh Edinburgh Monthly Medical Journal, - March, 145. Having made "pretty extensive trh.1 of Bebeerine in Edinburgh, makes the fallowing ob servations in a letter to Dr. Maclagan, in Januan-1-45: " You know that Piorry and others have somewhat frightened us accouchers from employing Quinine dur ing pregnancy; aud alleging, as thev do, that serious consequeucv-s may ensue from the use of it. Nor is Arsenic a medicine winch one would choose to exhibit to a pregnant female. Though thus deprived of the advan tages to be derived from the use of these two potent remedies in Periodic Neuralgias, latterly I have used the Sulphate of Bebeerine in instances ofthis kind, and as it has appeared both to me and mv patients, w'ith th most perfect success. I prescribed it about a couple of months ago to a ladv who had one of th. attacks of forehead and face Neuralgia that I remember to have seen. It came on towards noon, and kept her in blindness and agony for some time. The ordiuarv medical attendant on the family had leeched her, etc" without relief. I advised the Bebeerine to be given in two grain pills repeatedly during the interval between the paroxysms. As the medicine seemed to have no effect I gradually increased it, till on the third day she took a bout half a drachm of the Sulphate during the fourteen or sixteen hours' intermission. To tell you the truth, I was beginning to despair of seeing the sufferings of" mypaUentin any way relieved bv it, and would have changed it for some other remedy next day, but such was not required ; as, after the large dose 1' mentioned the usual fit was greatly less in severity, and in a day or two entirely disappeared. Of her own accord my patient fell back upon the Be beerine pills some 'time afterwards, when the Neuralgia was again threatened and it again speedily disappeared. " Last year I saw a similar case of periodic Tic in the face of a lady far advanced in pregnancy. It vielded rapidly when the patient wasr using the Sulphate' of Bebeerine alone. Ihayea lady At present under my care who has been suffering from distressing pains in the face shoulder, and other parts of the hod v.

"I have a patient from India, where she had suffered from Ague, and whose stomach seems always to rebel against Quinine. Since coming to Edinburgh she has had repeatedly a recurrence of Aguish symptoms, and has.taken Bebeerine for them without feeling those symp toms of gastric irritation and headache which Quinine seems to inflict upon her. " In other cases where I have employed the Bebeerine either as antiperiodic or as a tonic, "it has caused far less of those irritatingand stimulant effects which we see produced by the use cfQuiuine."
