I hi can not be too strongly .reprobated. If those who use it in this wsj were to try to injure their manure aa much as possible, Uiey could not adopt a belter plan. One of the most valuable constituents ef Ma RALEIGH, WEDNESDAY MORNING, There would seem, to aa uninetrueled mind,! no possible wsy off preventing the loss of this' substance out by waking the receptacles oi ' stable manure air-light, but .chemistry shows, by teaching the nature ind properties of bod ies, that this substance, one of especial value in stable manure, by the addition of another substance, one of especial value, substance of lUUe coal, of easy application, may be so chang ed as not to escape at any degree of heat to w hich stable manure is ever subject. This change not la the leaat effecting the value ol the manure. To effect thia,' nothing more is necessary than a small quantity of gypsum, (plaster of Paris) say from a half gallon to a peek, scattered over the yards Of stables twice a week. When manure is lo be applied to aandy soils, in which the sand is white, sulphate of iron, copperas; snoutu oe preierred, A lew pounds beat very finely ia enough for each week.

That part of the stable manure ich '.he w ater dissolves is most valuable, and when xpoed aa it usually is, bv far mers, nearly all of its valuable matter will be carried away by water falling on the heap and then running off.

Any farmer can easily if he chooses carry out all of these important directions. Lime neither quick, water Blacked nor air slacked, should' ever be mixed with this kind of manure. The latter can do no good, the former too will do very great injury to it. The above directions are short, but they have at least the merit of being easily under stood and carried out. When performed they are perfectly efficient lo preserve this valuable substance from the slightest loss. There is a much mooted question st present as to wheth er this manure ihould be ploughed in with crop or applied to the surface. 1 here is, and can be no general rule on this' subject. To some crops it cannot be applied in this latter manner. The mode of applica lio also depends oa the degree of rottenness which the manure ha undergone. When II is much decomposed and where its action is desired immediately as on tobacco or corn, it ts best lo mix it thoroughly) wiih the soil. Even when not thoroughly rotted it is best to plough it under for tobaci o. Tobacco land may be so manured, as slways lo retain its ca pacity for raising "bright tobacco" Itieh as is now produced on virgin soil or '-new ground" alone. One of the moat respectable planters in this State hy the following out directions based oa scientific principles, hss assured me of the de cided andvantage exierieneed both in regard to Ihe quantity and quality of hut erop. An advantage rested by the growth of the article on land adjoining snd prepared with great care ia conionpity wun long esiaousneu usage. W hen st la aot well rooted in best to apply it to clover preceding the wheat erop 'which is to he sown. I shall be able to publish some very valua ble comparative fuels on this .subject dur ing the present year which will give much aluable practical informalion. I can ew slate, however, with full confidence, that unless manure be very thoroughly decompos ed t should never1 be ploughed in for wheal. as it will alter the texture ol the soil and make it less productive for this crop. Wheat de lights in a close compact soil. Stable and barn yard manure, not well rotteaed, will make die soil porous and thus injurs it. ' For Indiaa Com, this ohjeetioa does not hold good, and where the land intended for eora is stiff, it will derive benefit from this manure being ploughed ia with the soil.

I 1 U last number ol Uie Ke public has a varr long article in reply lo Mr. Clay's last speech aiuf in defence of the course of the President. W hare read il with great care, and have en deavored to consider iu arguments impartial ly, bat still wa cannot surrender the opinion that the Compromise Plan accomplishes eve ry tiling which Uie President desires, and much mors lhaa his recommendation con templated. Wa cannot believe that the mere pride or opinion would induce General Tay lor to pre his plan in preference to all others, and still less can we bring ourselves to think that there is any petty jealousy of Mr. Clay's gaining the honor of settling this great ques tion influencing his conduct, and we are, therefore. Bo little puzzied to account for the President's continued hostility to ihe Com promise Plan. The remark of the Republic that Mr. Clay came back into publie lilis "to Ud, not to follow," ia spile of the disclaimer tliat nothing offensive is intended, It not 10 Ihe test foBsmUrisSvs.' leading or following, ia doing hia duty in lhat sphere of action in which he has been placed by the Stale of Kentucky, He is bound, by his obligations to that Slate and to ihe coun try, to advocate those measures which his judgment dictates lo be most conducive to the common welfare, and II his great talents aad vast experience place .lum ta-Uie- positron of a leader, ihe country has, in bis past career, aa ample guarantee that this position will pot be used for sctfiah purposes. The man who supposes lhat Henry Clay prefers die Plan of the Committee in order that, in Ihe event ol its adoption, he may aay, "this is my work this is ihe third time that I have saved the U nion," has not read Uie first pago in Henry Clayt life.

The several reports made by the committee 00 the Galphin case show that there was no general agreement among Ihe members of the committee. I ha question itself, however. a very simple one. ' The act of Congress in loi 7 oirectcq ine p.iymeni of Uie amount "justly due,' lo the heirs of George Galphin, and Uie Secretary or Ihe I reasury was author ized to ascertain Ihe amount ni to pay it. W bether the claim wasoriginally good or bad is nothing now to the purpose, nor did any in quiry into lhat question belong lo the duties of the Committee, uougress had recognized the eaim and had ordered Its payment. I be payment of the principal of this claim waa made by Mr, Walker, See. Trea. ender the late Adin initiation. The payment of ihe interest was not refused bj . him nor did he make any decition adverse to il but deferred Ihe matter for further aoni juration. The period of Mr. Polk' Administration being ; . : .1 . . . r near lis termiuauun, tvir. ivaiaer iciiiius nusi neas, with a great deul more, lo be settled by the AdmitiKiraUon which wa soon to come in. - - v.- The only question which remained to be determined in this mailer wat Ihe question of interest. The claim wat founded upon principles of equity and iuttica which Con gress had recognized, and it was guaranteed by a treaty stipulation. ' The Attorney General of lite United States, whose duty II is to give legnl opinion upon points submitted to him by the President or the Departmenta, gave an opinion upon thia case, at he ha dons, probably, upon hundreds of oilier ease tinea he fame into the service of the Government The justice Of (lie claim for interest in the Galphin ease was admitted by htm and the amount due wat paid. It wat a legal question which the Atttorney General had to decide, kuowing nothing of Ihe parties interested the claim. Upon the correctneM of that opinion the matter may be tested at any time by the judgment of the most inte'.ligenl lawyers ia Me country. ; This ia the sum and subsume of the wjjiele affair. The fact that Mr. Crawford, 8 cere- ry ot War, had formerly been ta agent in the prosecution of die claim and that he still retain ed an Interest in it a fact noknowa to the Treasury and li the Attorney General has nothing to d,i With the esse, although it hat beea made the oecaaioa for much misrepre sentation and calumny.' The whole tuhject htt been referred over by the House of Rep resentative to the fourth Tuesday in June, and it might with propriety have been set apart for eonsiduralion on the sixth Tuesday of June) inr it ts n truly probable mat tne public will he troubled much more about it. The tubieet' ha served its time as a ihcme of vituperation against the Administration, tnd tt i ttow pretty Well rxuauetcd Hall. Anter. ''An HDKrsnorxT Eoiroa A country editor very ptquantiy remarks!
