MIXING SOILS.
Some nine or ten years 3go, in the ear
ly part of my farming, I had occasion to
deepen a well about six or eight feet. The
rth thrown out was a tenacious blue
(las', just damp enough to cut into lumps,
and adhesive enough to remain so. After
finishing the well, the man who had charge
of the farm was at a loss to know where
to deposit it. Having a bare sandy knoll
in one of the fit-Ids, which was not inaptly
termed '-personal property," from its be
ing wafted about on every breeze, here to
day, and there to-morrow, it occurred to
me that the clay would hold the sand and
form a soil. I accordingly ordered it de
posited there in heaps, the same as if ma
nure. This was in the summer. In the
fall the lumps were scattered over the sur-1
face and left to the action of the rain and

Florida, so far as we have been able

were blooms, while at the present writing
many planters are not yet through chop

heaviest washing rains within the memo

and nights, the young plants have receiv
ed a check from which they will require
the most favorable seasons hereafter to re
cover, we have conversed with several of
our most intelligent planters, who agree
as to the unusual backwardness of the
crop, and its present unfavorable appear

The provision crops of Florida may
now bo considered as made, and will
yield a rich reward to the planter. Cot

an excellent prospect. Rains have been

Louisiana. The Lake Providence
Republican of May 10 says:
We are informed by one of our plant

jlrrcst of Cuban Bevolutioni-&s--The
Savannah News has the following
letter;
St. Jago 'de Cuba, May 7, 1851.
A number of arrests have been made at
St. Jago tie Cuba. Papers were taken
which discovered a plot to commence an
insurrection while on a grand parade, and
the insurgents had taken measures to cap
ture thc head quarters of the city and se:
cure the landing of Garibaldi with 3,000
men. At the same time Lopez w.ould
have effected his landing in some part of
Havana. The Judge after having con
cluded the proceedings, sentenced to death
four, and to perpetual punishment three of
the principal officers; and to ten years
hard labor a sergeant of the Garrison and
two privates. The traitor who betrayed
them was released. .This sentence has
been approved by the Captain General at
Havana.
Return of the Cuban Invaders. The
Savannah News says that 25 men arrived
n that city on Saturday, who were con
nected with the Cuba movement. Dur-
ing the past week there had arrived in
the neighborhood of Jacksonville, some
three hundred men with upwards of 150
horses, from different parts of Georgia
anJ Florida, whose intention it was to
have joined the Cuba expedition.
It is estimated that since the commence
ment m this late movement upwards of
1500 men have from time, to time arrived
in the vicinity of Jacksonville, with a
view to embark from that point. Disap
pointed by the derangement, of the plans
of their leaders, they have been forced to
disband and return. Many of them hav
ing exhausted their funds, have been re-
p -
duced to rather straightened circumstan
ces, compelled even to appeal for aid to
the friends of the cause in which thev had
embarked
The United Slates revenue cutter Taney

DIRECTIONS.
The happy success which has attended
this Ointment, especially under my own
mode of application, induces me to recom
mend the use of it on old pieces of silk.
linen, cotton, or cambric. The plaster
muM be spread thin, and large enough to
cover both the wound, and imflammation
around it.
Scald Head. If the head is too sore
bca, be white and soft. Then soltcn
the Ointment On the head with Sweet Oil,
and remove it with a fine tooth comb af-
x tne ouro ;9 made
sur,aceby the active operations ot tne
Ointment for which purpose, a soft dry
linen or cotton rag must be used, taking
, caie hot to use water about a sore in any
nianner. The discharges of matter from
., corrapl sore of .standing are generally
at Hrst.aiid some ec. of this
ing up with small red pimples of sound
flesh. Inlhis stage of the sore, apply lhe
Ointment only once in forty-eight hours,
and cleanse but once in twenty-four, as a
hove directed. Ulcers produced by mer
cury, the Sarariila drink should be
used.
For Inflammation, Fresh Wounds,
Swellings-, Sprains or Bt uises, "once in
twenty-four hours will be often enough to
apply the Ointment. If applied to the
sore breast of a female, it can be rendered
more mild, if necessary, by spreadingaj
small quantity of mutton suet on each
plaster, and mix it well by heating.
In long standing and deep corrupt sores,
I particularly recommend that the plasters
be spread large enough to cover the whole
inflamed part. In fact, should the sore
be situated about. the middle of the leg,
then w ap the same in Ointment from
the knee to the foot, until all inflammatio:i
is subdued; and should mortification ho
apprehended, let the plaster be . made
warm, in order that it may be rendered
more active and powerful,
In the Bite of a Snake, this course is
strenuously urged, taking care first to
scarrify the flesh round the part bitten,
The Spider Bile, if not early treated
will extend to the bone, form a core and
sometimes produce deep ulceration.
For Soreness about the Breast, (pro
duced by cold or ciamp choiic,) apply a
plaster large enough to cover the whole
1 umor Wl" require the Umtment tor
months, perhaps, brfore a thorough clean
sing tan be effected; therefore patience
must be exercised with great regularity
in the dressings, while strict attention
must be paid to diet, in order to prevent
the system from becoming gross.
In early stages of Inflammatory Rheu
matism and soreness about the Hreast,
produced by cold or cholic. from my own
experience, this Ointment stands unrival
led It is soothing, yet so stimulating,
that in the course of two or three hours,
the system is thrown into a gentle perspi
ration, and all pain or soreness is rapidly
removed.
In fresh wounds, the flesh being sound,
healing soon takes place, after the use of
the Ointment.
In bites of the dog, snake, and spider, I
have ample evidence Of its efficiency.
For risings on the hands or fingers, and
sores about the faces of children, as wcllas
fhaprted hands and lips, the Ointment will
be found a most excellent remedy. It
may be simply applied to children by
touching slightly about the sores with one
finger, or spread on old pieces of silk
No injury whatever can arise from the
use of this Ointment, not to an infant even,
as it is one of the most innocent remedies
ever applied to the hitman system, all the
materials being of the most pure and
wholesome character; conseqiibntly there
can be no liability to cold at ahy season.
In most of the diseases for which the
Ointment is rccdrtimended, its virtue has
been fully tested. VM. W. GRAY.
The character of this Ointment is so
well known, that the Proprietor deems it
unnecessary to publish the rhany testimo
nials that have beeri furnished him in sup
port of its great efficacy, in curing the
diseases for which it is recommended.
He, therefore, in this bill, has only given
the necessary directions for applying tho
Ointment.
All the Ointment prepared by him,
will bear his signature on the bill that
surrounds the pot, and no person but him
self is authorized to make it in the State
of North Carolina.
