UNDER-DRAINING. A few yeors tine we were almost the only ahlvocatea of underdrawing, except for lande 5. Which were entirely uusuited to ell kind of cultivation without the atfiitanee of under dnint. Since lhl lime, hove?? the doc trines we then collated from the experience of Enplurh imt nther farmer, who hid used underrdrtins for the eorreetion of tour noil not habitually wet throughout the year, have Men admitted, and in many rase by our reader adopted and the general usefulness of iiutlcr- draius, beyond the mere removal of large tnass tr of water, and for the improvement of soils which were but slightly too wet in spring, and not mffieiende moial in summer, ia gen rally admitted. Indeed, there are few aoila in which a proper arrangement of nnder-draina Will ai prove profitable; for influences are exercised through their mean, of far greater importance than the mere removal of surplus water in the abatraet. In answer to numcr oua inquiriea in relation to (hit subject, we hall attempt to treat it quite fully, notwith standing our former article nn the ubjeel.

Kai.li new portion of water psssing down through lite soil repeats these operations, rendering it ih store-hoise of the organic constituent nf the atmosphere . Water is capable of taking up many limes its bulk of several of the gases,- snd the con densation of ihe moisture of the atmosphere in form dew, necessarily canse itlo falllo the earth' surface, surcharged with such gases ss it may entangle with itself; but if we exam ine water M it issue from the drain' mouth, we find it lire frisntshee gases, and instead of fertilising out neighbor's fields, at a lowei leve', with the salubut materials of our own. we pas the water toward Ihe rallies fi.st re taining ail articles of value reeeived with it.

No errqr is more common than to suppose that water enters uoder-drains during us passage downward in ilia sou ; tne por tions so entering the drain, are not one per cent, of the quantity which rims through them. It is afier the lower pan beneath the drain is filled with water and rises to the level ni the drains, that lite running off commences, and they merely acl to prevent this accumulation from approaching near enough the attrface to interfere with the growth of plants. During long rains the water will rise nearer live sur face half-way between the two drains, than neater the drains ihcnitrliet, and it is for this reason that drains of five feet deep and eighty feet apart, are as effective as those of three feet deep snd twenty feel apartv We have before given a diagram illustrative of these facts, which will be found in one of our former volumes. . To suppose lhat manures in a slate ofolu tion will be wasted from the mouth of undrr- drains, is an error for it is impossible to fil ler downward in the Hum Turin,, through any fertile suit Even the brown liquor of lha barn-yard will have all its available constitu ents abstracted by the soil, before it descends into the earth thirty four inches. If this were not true, our wells would long since have be- eomeKSfiess, theartb wnttW have-' become barren, and the raw materials, of which planla are made, which now occupies the earth's surface and the surrounding clmos phere, woidd hae passed towards the earth's centre ; but lhfi carhon'and alumina of the soil, each of which had the power ofabsorbing and retaining the necessary food for plants, are lite agenis for the carrying into ell'ect the ne ci'ary laws of nature for the protection of vegetable growth. Undraine d soils are not benefited by the nse of the subsoil plow, for its deep cut are soon compacted by the action of an eicess of wa ter on lite soil ; but after the insertion nf under drains, the subsoil plow becomes the farmer's greatest blessing ; it enables him to render his surface-soil of any depth he pleases; In call on the great store ' house of his sub-roil for many out constituents nl winch his plants (their roots) lo collect it.

This subject has been befire fully; treated, hut ill snswer lo I). 8 ot Fairfield, in rela tion lo lite plowing in of green corn, and iu eiTects on the soil, we would slate dial ibis, in common with all other green crops, deposit in the surface-coil by is .decay, two classes of substances; the eheil bulk I organic mailer obtained from the atmosphere, and the creen crop which will produce the greatest lumber of tons lo the sere, will secure the largest amount of this clai-s ol male lal, Ins chief con stiluent of which is carbon, abstracted from the carbonic aciil gas pervading the atmosphere and arising from trie decay of former vegeta tion. I he next lss ol substances are those usually denominated inorganic, and which of ten eist plentifully in Ihe subsoil ; lltes are recti ed by the root of plant and go to form part of their lop ; thus Lime, Soda, Potash, Magnesia, Phosphoric Acid, Sulphuria Acid, Chlorine, Ac , are all taken Up by the root of plant, and when green eros are plowed under, these are deposited in Ihe surCee-snu and in proper condition, and suitable relative proportions lor the use ol crop which are lo follow. When Ihe object to be attained by plowing ill of green crops is to increase the a tnounl of organic matter in the surface-soil, then clover, or buckwheat, or pea haulm, may be used with great advantage, these nlsnt receive very large portion or their constituent front lb atmosphere. When die object is lo elevaleihe inorganic constituents of the sub-soil, and place them in lh surface soil, then plants should be selected, the root of which pass down to the greatest depth, and h ' composition of which ne warily coot tins large portion of inorganie matter.

' I I RAIL ROADS. An Address lo the people of North Caroli na, South Carolina and Tennessee has been issued by Messrs J no. G. Bvnum, W. W. Avery. Joha Baxter. N. W. WoodA and John E. Pslton, erging the extension 'of the north Carolina Central Koed to Beaufort Harbor in the East, and through Western North Carolina so a to connect with Ihe road in the great Mississippi Valley. The State of North Carolina is called upon lo assist in the enterprises, not only on ac count of the vast benefit lo be derived from theat by the people, but a enhancing ihe val ue of the millions already invested in ihe Central and Wilmington Itoads. They eall upon llie East to assist them, because section al jealousy ha never prevented the great West from doing justice to the East and be cause they have alway cheerfully voted ap propriations Tor basic rn improvements. 1 The people of Ihe Weal, aay the Commit tee, will contribute to the full extent of their means, and they confidently expect lo raise from 3 to $900,000 by individual subscrip tion. We heartily concur With the Committee In their statement nf ihe great advantage to he derived by the whole people, and especially by the Eastern people, from the construction of these roads. And we sincerely hope thai lltey will be built, believing lhat they will prove of incalculable benefit, and raise the character of the Stale to thai position which il ought to occupy, and which a proper spirit of improvement among our eitixeii would have long tnce ensured.
