We observe in inquiry made in the, June number of the fSntithern Agriculturist as lo the heat mode of gHung fid of hit'lproline -and invincible roolc r. In answer to the in quiry, tli editors of (hit paper (tale that the e! D. Baehnvin of Charleston, who i l this time (he mml distinguished naturalist in America, informed them lhal alter the great fire in that city which occurred in 1838, the (nit gram sprang np on the ite of a burned iiouse that had hen erected over half a eenlu. ry. Ftorn this fact, the infeienee ia rather incidentally drawn, thai iu eradication ia next loan impossibility. Nat' aery much doul ihe lugh-aliiy nf tliia deduction, ll if a well established fart thai perfectly matured ml may retain thf ir titalny (orwnrwica lid yet the mint seed may loee- their vitali ty under unfavorable circiimatanoee in a very riort limo. Nor doe Ihe length of lime which eed may retain their vitality, bear any relation to the tenacity of life oi the prHjt plant. Wheat'! well known to lie a lender nml d I rate l int, and that the vitality of i a lurry ia often destroyed on the atalk hy a fi-w dava of unfavorable' weather! and yet pei ferity matured grain have retained their vi tality from die daya of Joaoph and the Pha raohs up lo a period quie recent. Thai nut grans can scarcely be eradicated from the soil, we are well aware; but this is independent of the length of lime that its nuts may retain their viulry. We aie, however, of Ihe opinion lhal il may be utterly destroy ed. If an agent can be found which will de stroy the vitality of the nuts or prevent their maturity, ihen the object i accomplished. A successful experiment lodo Ihe latter, was made' in llii" town a few years ago. A gen tleinan w hose garden was overrun with graa. and who had reported to every other expedient without even partial success, made an expe riment thus : lie dug tip and manured a sp t about aix leel in diameter in his yard, and set it out thickly with nut gra, which he suffer ed lo grow lor two years; in which lime, as the riving is. it was as thick as the hairs on cow's hack. In the spring of the third year. :is List m il appeared above the ground, he bared il.offjyilh ll.oe, !y which heeffectu ' allv pre veined the growth of foliagn.

Salt has been ued to destroy the vitality of the nut. but with very partial success, in consequents of the large quantity required, and the difficulty or gelling il in contact at ihe depth whHi the nuts penelralr. We have I'looghl that perhaps the most efficient, a well ihe least expensive, agent which could bo applied to destroy the vitality of ihe nut of this plant, would be gna.no. We have heard of no experiment made with this article, hut should infer from its very Caustic nature, that a large dose of it intermixed ith the anil, would prove panacea. '' It might require a thousand pounds to the acre i bin who woul.l not spend twice that amount lo eradicate such a peat from his plantation ; Moreover, should it he successful, the expenditure would be far from a loss. 7 It would only be a heavy dote of the best manure, which would amply repay its coat. .

It seems to lit very strange, that while the firmer of every other . Slate in the Union ant turning their attention in the railing of (heir own horses anil mules, ihnse in North Curulina still continue lo he. dependent upon other Stnies for theii supply of this kind ol tuiek. We have frequently called the attention of individuals to this matter, and they say, aa a general ll ing, that it will not pay ; lint when we ark iliem if Ihey have ever tried it, Ihey answer in the negative, , We contend thatby proper management it will pay f there i no thing either is the climate or products of our Siate lo present it. The amount nf money . annually carried nut of this State for horses and mules, would, if summed up, be almost incredible. This is not a go-nl policy to buy abroad what could be raised at home ; and in this case nnr fanners have been guilty of im proper conduct long enough. Like every other kind of bus ness, it must have a begin Ding, and every thing should he in readiness before an attempt it made. A farmer who ma le this his business miht every year ma nure ' richly a large farm from , his horses and mules .alone. V In ; otner States' Jarge number of farmers make ttock . raising Iheir chief business, and in moil case Ihey accu mulate large fortunes, and a great ileal nf tl(eir money ihey carry from North Caroli na. In crder to bring this oiauer more plain ly beltae our reader, and to show the thing at it hi, we would ask litem to notice for one year the number of droves of hone and . mulct which past through Ihe county town of the county in which llicy . live.

Fogg ha given some val ; liable knon lcrige on the chemical properties " of milk and (miter, which every dairy-man ' woman should read. We will give a few f extracts from tita rem irk. ,j. "The ordinary temperature nf new milk if j from 03 lo 70 decrees.

But when milk ia rxpoaed to the at mosphere, the oxygen absorbed by it slowly change the milk sugar into what ia called laetic arid. This acid cause Die rareinc or eurd to coagulate, prevents the furtiertep. ration ol lb cream, and the milk becomes sour. The eurd of sour milkjialway lound lo contain more or less butter j some timet as much a two per cent., or one half the whole quantity contained to the milk I (the best milk seldom contains lira per cent.) This rises from (the fact thai the lactic acid is formed be fore all Ihe buttery particles have had lime lo rise to Jm surface. Hence, Ihe longer we can keep milk aw set, the more cream we can obtain." Mr. Fogg gives the process for preventing milk from htrominr sour, based upon the chemical principle of adding an alkali which shall combine with the acid at f.tt atil forms, ami BMMalpaltaai tl .

In another column of our paper will be found an address from the Democracy ol I'asquotank to their brethren of the District, calling upon them, for reasons, therein men tioned, to repudiate Ihe nomination of Dr. Shaw, and lo cast their votea for some other Drrroerjt, more acceptable. It will be seen that they suggest the name of lion. Asa Biggs, and pledge their votea lo him whether he consent to run or not, 1 nts movement is not confined lo one or two individuals, but the dissatisfaction, which gave rise to it, is wide spread and of such a character lhal it cannot he appeased. The names appended lo the address are guarantee not only of the signers, but, being Ihe names of men who have lor years battled in the cause ol Democ racy, men a lio have borne the heat and bur den of Ihe day, they speak volumes 10 would-be-rulers of the party, who have constituted themselves the egjiecjal tfU'iriluin thereof, t id the hestewers uf theOlRccs of the Gov ernment. Allusion having been made, in the address. to the existence of a "clique, and to the manner in which the appointment 10 Office had been regulated in one instance, and at tempted In be regulated in others, it may not be amis in us 10 state what that mode has been, and to how, at far i.s in us lies, In the Democracy of the District, whether or nut thvsi-getiileineii have any juat ground ofc.rni platuu Immediately after the election of General Pierce a movement was made to teeure the appointment of l D. Starke, as roller tor of this iorttomake U rge A. William, I 'out lousier ol this place, ,u appoint I'hilliu I) n ier lo the I'ghl, boat al Wades I'oint, and Jas. Williams lo the Boal stationed ofTCroalan. These persons were exceedingly disissteful Ui the luarae of ihe party, most deeply inter ested in these appointments. We mean ol course the Democracy of I'asquunk. Cam den and Currituck, other portions of the District having hide or no connection with Diem, Four-nl'ths of the Drniorrary prefer red the appointment of James ('. Scott to the Collectorsbip of this port. To him the slight est otijecuon couiu Hot tie urged. lie was a gendemen in every respect competent to die charge Ihe. duties of the olfire ; he was, and had ever been, an unwavering Democrat ; his time, hi monv and his talents had been fr.rclv spent to aid the l emoeratic cause, he was a name of ihe Slate, and he had a family de pendent on him for support. Bcides all his, Cr plain Scotl had spent the prime of his life iu Ihe dangerous, but honorable employ ment of a teaman having for many years hi 1 charge of Ihe beat vessels our port afford ed. ' In this capacity lie had gained the con- fidenee of ihe commercial community hy his probity and rapacity. All these things con spind to render him the favorite of his party. Ill petition was numerously signed, and he had toe good withe of hundreds whose name were not attached ihereio. Bui of what avail did it all prove. - Three or lour men of the party, ('and three or four only,) had determined thai the will of the niessrs ihiiuld nal be respected they had, in secret concalve, resolved that Mr. Scott sbnnld be laid on ihe shelf, and thai Mr. Starke should be Collector. They have succeeded in iheir designs, and they expect that those whose wiohet Ihey hare entirely disregarded, whose opinions even weie not consulted.snould bow in meek submission, and kist the rod which bat aminen iheir friend. - Il is true the other appointments have not been made, bul it it apparent lhal die faro riles of the "Clique" are loneeive them. They are in all probability held back till af ter the August election to secure, if possible, the undivided rapport of each aspirant and his friends, ; lie this a it may, Ihe Democrats who have signed the addrest are very certain that if any one of thosv wbo are.the favorites of the patty, should re -eive , the appointment which he seeks, be would receive ilinsne of Ihe exertions of tht '-Clique" againut him. With one exception,1:; precisely the tame 'Cliqn," who have thus acted with regard 10 the offices, tecum! the nomination of Dr. II. M. Shaw. V It was a nomination entirely unexpected and . unlooked for by the party throughout the district. .- It -ware nomination secured upon ihe "I'll tickle you since ynu've tickled tie" principle.. And il it because ii (ias thu been secured that the Democracy of Pasquotank call upon their brethren through wit the District to repudiate it. Of the sign ers to this address we hi spoken elsewhere. They are well known here. Their name ire familiar everywhere in the District to il.oe coiife-tanl w lb ibe poll lies of Pu. quotank.

ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRACY OF1. PASQUOTANK COUNTY TO THEIR 3RETHRENTHR0U0H0UTTHE DIS V- - TRICT. , : We, whose name are herctinli annexed, feel Ihe necessity of separate organitalion at thia lime, at both Conventions have met and adjourned, without selecting standard bearers to whom we can yield our cordial and undivided support. In Conventions, it too nlten happens, that the favorilea of self constituted leaders are forced upon us, in dia metrical opposition to our wishe; and we believe the suspicious moment hat arrived. when, we should fearlessly proclaim that nn obligation hind ot lo iheir actions. We then. Democrats of Pasquotank Courty, re fusing to support the nominee of ihe twe parties will most heartily unite upon in iu' dependent candidate, and make every exer tion tn secure his election. ' If w are free men, it brlioovcs us to set a firemen. ' We repeat, we cannot by our suffrages, is w in eteethig either 1 nominee. And- wbvl Can we urge any objections lo Dr. Shaw and Mr. Outlaw? We answer, yes. Will they wariant us, in the course which mature con sideration now leads 11s to adopt? We jn swer ye We cannot hesitate then, iu mak ing them known. We oppose 10 Dr. Shaw, on the ground lhal we have reison lo believe there is a "clique in this vicinity, and tl at he ia connected with II. We have reason to believe, that he has exerted his influence to secure the appointments of those: to whom, if we are correct!) informed, the body of his party is biiterly and irreconcilably opposed. We regard this, as sufficient, lo wsrranl a re pudiation ol the candid ate. In the disposi tion of Executive patronage, the wHI of the majority of any parly should be respected. In th'tt rate it hat not been. We also have objections lo Col. Outlaw. A a gentleman of probity we respect him ns a politician we dillerwith him. .We then deem it proper, as both Conventions hive disregarded our wish es, to reject their candidates. We must act fur ourselves. We must eschew ihe elf-tyl-ed leaders of the two partiea. A separate or ganization then is indispensably itecestary we must hare an independent candidate. Shall we indignantly frown upon illeollected Conven tions and reject their nominee? Vfe trust the re sponse in every bosom w ill be ye. A let. 1011 must he taught ambitious partisans, The tune for energetic action has arrived. Upon whom can we unit?? After a free interchange ofopinions, we have come lo the conclusion that the Hon. Asa Diggs, nf Mar, 1 11 County, is the most tu t.thle person to re ceive our sufTr.iges. Panegyric could be ex h mated upon Mr. Biggs; lint as ' he is no ohsrure man, it would be superfluous to in dulge in il. His puro and unimpeachable pri rale character his talents his cxalied and disinterested patriotism endear him to us; and we are quite sure, that in him we shall find an ahle exponent of our sentiments. Of such a man we may bejustly proud. Wherever kno n, he is reipected. We place in him our inot implicit confidence for we know, he will not prove himself unworthy of it. I hen can we not support him wiih alacrity' Our (leg is rtow unfurled lo the hrer xe, and ii'ider its folds the houeal of both parties can tight. We have done. Il is our intention to vote for Col. Higs, whether he consents or refu ses 10 rim. We solicit the aid of Democrats and Whit's. Herein Pasquotank County, w have formed a nucleus, around which we expect to see gathered a respectable party. ill not the people of the District respnud lo our action! t III ihey not show their Inde pendence of p iri ? This we trust is the dawn of a heiierday; We must not sleep ai the post of duty. With Col. Asa Diggs for our candidate, we have a standard-bearer, lor whom every exertion we m ike, must be a "I i- boroflove." Let us show our streng h. I,el us endeavor 10 elect a man, who is con nected with no factisn ; woo will rcprr sent Democrats and Whigs; who will re gard himself as one of thr people ; will know hi whole country, and who will respect our sentiments.
