To His ExctLLikcv, David S. Kzio; :
Sin: l my last communication my re
marks were eonfinrd mtist'y to the character
of ill. better lands and anile of Morklriihurg
and Rowan.' These-land are probably the
best in the State pf their rapacities as a whnle,
or if dieir piodoeing power in the aggregate
. are considered. This view I intended to ex
prea, notwithstanding the (act thai in dry
eeaanns they suffer more than inhere which
are much lest fertile;. "' But these lands
have not been fully tested, though they have
been rullivated fur more than half a century,
erhapa more than a century. They must
have been highly productive when they were
firl tilled. But it appears' to me that great
produriiveness does not belong to first series
of years sfter tillage begins. It ia true that
when new lands are cleared of the forest that
the first crops require no fertilisers. Tne
growth is spontaneous. .tl The planter sows
and hi harvest it sure. But when exuber-
auce of fertilliii'if matter is nearly cihausted
and the roil begins to flag, it should by no
means be regarded aa used up, that it must be
abandoned, and that rlew fields must be clear
ed. Instead of regarding the ou as having
nssaed ita best and most Productive neriod. it
should be considered as only et bdued and
ready for the true system of cultivation. The '

soils of Eniiland. which ha-e been rullivated

present system of husbandry than they could
have produced during their first years of tillage.-

To His Excsi.xcv, David S. Rcid: " ;
Sia: i he suHeet of improvement of old
lands lakea a broad field. It might be ex
pected, and perhaps demanded, thai I should
sustain and carry on I the doctrine of the last
communication by auieni' ul of details, bow
old lands should be Irealml in order lo bring
up their productiveness to a standard higher
lhan they possessed in the first periods of
cultivation. I shall not attempt, however, to
do this with any degree 'nf fulness, and be
fore I touch at all upon the subject, I wish to
make remark or two which have a general
bearing upon the whole subject. In Ihe first
place, agricultural writer when they propose
improvement are ver; apt to make them loo
sweeping- they, for instance, prnpnae deep
draining, ileep ploughing, lirm as a fi.rtiliXef,
eic, or some special uiodu of pr-ie dure in
order to obtain a gi'on end. Now, general
doctrines are excellent when ilicy are general;
but it frequently happen thai there are im
portant exceptions v It - is not-, etery field
hich requires drsining aome may be injured
by ii; it is not every field which requires
lime, and even when it is requited the romli

the farmer or plamer is unsequainlrd with the

lion is rev uittd. many failure happen to the
very best modes; that, thoiif h there Is a loose
ness in elating doctrines and fact by writers,
yet this is only one source of disappointment;
there is remaining a wsnt of expenditure of
thought upon theauhjecls by the farmer him
sell. , There are some men . who I believe
are more lavish in the expenditure of money
than they are in the expenditure of thought;
though the rule generally is, not to expend
either especially in husbandry.' There is sltll
another class quite unlike the two former; that
class who take in all the doctrine and d ires'
none whose minds are like a stuff;! sausage

some suppose that planting and fainting may
be successfully prosecuted, on the same plan
that a cook makes up her fries and cakes; that

of corn, tobacco, or wheal may be raised.
There is much of this kind of husbandry ev
ery where, for if there ia no written form of
rereipt, there is about the tame thing in the
brain ; there is a routine wiihmit thought,
which is carried out mechanically. , There
is po expenditure of thought about the con
dition of the soil, or cliittale, or peculiar
Hies of Ihe seasons. I here mi no employ

THE ADMINISTRATION AND CUBA.
- We sineerelv wish the question were de
cided by ihe Democracy, over which they
hard to tell front the contradictory statements
of ihe Vuahiogiou Union what is the policy
of the Administration on any one subject-
The Democratic organs ae constantly calling

It will be recol'eeted that that paper contra

M'siiion nf the island in regard to the mouth
of the M iiaaippi Ihese and other co'iside
raiione of no less moment at once suggest
themselves as eonsiivuling elements upon
which our policy must be solved. If there
was nothing in the past history of Great
Britain to excite our wa.elifulness, we should
he reluctant to give Ihe lightest credence lo
the rumor alluded to. We are not now pre-
P' W believe that she lias deliberately de-
' bwimiied to provoke an isiue which may be
fraught with the mokl disaitrous consequences.
But there I) al least enough in her past policy
toward ua, in lite distinguished honors she
is paying to one of our citizens who owes all
her prominence to her assaults upon the integ

policy in regard lo some of her own islands,
to induce, us not lo disregard and dismiss
these rumors loo inconsiderately. -;
'U may not be the policy of our Govern

- The Union, II teems, thinks such a emirse

the Aministrauon is prepared to sustain.
Then, if the rumors of the tripartite alliance
are true, there will be war, bulof the truth of

SUCCESS TO THE GREAf WHIG
v. . " .... . CAUSE ,.- .'
i' There was. previous to the nomination
some little dissatisfaction with the 'course of
Col. Outlaw in reference to ttre nomination of
Gen. 8cott. All Ihie ie now subsided, and
we hail, with pleasure, rhe return of the dis
contented few W rhe cordial support of that
faithful representative, against whom nothing
could be urged, but Wir leal for what ho
deemed the best interests of bis country.-
Who as hope to have representative, wYttt
whose acta every one will be entirely aatiefi
edf This ie a land of free Thoofht, and all
may entertain peeuuar notions of the policy
of our Government; but he would strike at
the root of this cherished riglit, who would
demand a lepreaenialive to conform, in sll
respects, to his individntl views. Bui Col.
Outlaw has been very foris nate in securing
the approbation of his constituents, in all his
official acts. But some were, at one lime,
diesatiafied with hie private views and course,
as resjieeta the Presidential nomination. The
result has shown, that from hia favorable po
sition at Washington, he had a belter oppor
tunity of coming to a correct conclusion, than
they, and that he displayed a degree of fore
sight, indicative of tne soundest! judgement,
aa lo the result of the contest lo his parly.
Time is rapidly bringing to his support those
disaffected few and it needs but little re
flection and weighing of the present position
of affairs, to determine many ah honest and
patriotic member of the Democratic Parly lo
support him in preference to one, who ean
publicly, in the face of the Southern men
brand the Administration of Millard Fillmore
as the "eorrupl Ailminiflralinn" and t.'ien
laud and defend the course of Franklin I'i rce,
for appointing to the best offices in ihe land,

whose mouths are yet dirty with vulgar
abuses of the South while the -cold shoul

nion men, who lately fought Ihe battle ol iheir
country s honor, saved the Constitution from
ihe rul'liless distruction of fanaticism, and won 1
Iho applause and love of a grateful nalinn.
Let ail look to the contrast, and say whether
they will support the reviler of Millard Fill

ference to a conservative patriot, well and of

We can appeal, with reason, lo ihe con
servative Democracy of the District, who
hare been ao grossly deceived by their ambi

Outlaw, and thus leach a lesson, which wilt
he fell for good, by tho e who could have the

If, however, we (ell them plainly of their

Whigs.
We think there ia mischief brewing. The

raiaed the notes of warning, have been duly
detruncated. Thosj who hint at disaffection
have been haalinadoed, and the , celestial au
thorities deem Ihemselvee secure in the re.
mote tvtesses of the golden palaces, merely
because they have concealed the danger from
themselves. Suddenly, however, . is heard
the alarum of these Young Democratic iustir-
gents, headed bv ihe "i ellovV-haWrd arid red'
beared" Tucker. The sacred walls are seal-
ed, the courtiers, sycophants, and even the
hard-shell life-guard are tumbled heels over,
head in deplorable confusion. 1 The exasper
ated and triumphant rebels enter. Their nrst
demand is for the keys nf the imperial treas
ury and cellar. Tor eacli revolutionary pocket
is vacant as infinity, and each throat is "as
dry as a liinehiirner's wig." Woe then to any

We shall sympathize with the dcfcatetl, for
a disappointed Democrat is even worse off

A very distinguished Democratic Scnntot
now, in Congiess, it ia reported to us, remark
ed, the other day, that he did nnl see whai
the country gained by turning a Uoion Wki
out of office, and putting a Free Soil or Dis
union Democrat in. We have nothing touY
with this remark, though there is a meaning
iii It, but whitt we have a right do with is
the principle on which Gen. Pierce was
elected, and the pledge ofhis Inaugural. The
principle and pledge are Whig a well as
Democratic property, for they Were pledge
to the whole public, and wilhoul distinction
or party.
