# Two years ago, an effort waa- made in a new line to ameliorate the condition of the inhabitants of Palestine. Seven American wi|h improved ploughs and other tools, and American seets. ?oca??*i upon a piece or land i seven miles from Jerusalem, for* farming after the American system. T^eir location was in the valley of Artoe, <noo t Their iricnds in the city were much opposed to tlieir going out there to reside, urging them, if they were determined to try to eufI tivate tlie qoil, to keep their residence in the cjty for fear of the Arabs. This did not suit VvMgjheir plans, and they took up their residence f upon the land and commence# operations, plowing deep with one of our best ploughs, I harrowing with an iron toothed harrow, such | as was ucvcr seen there before, and planting I corn, potatoes,beans, peas, oats, barley,wheat, I and all sorts of garden vegetables; in short, j tanking a perfect American farm. The operations, instead of exciting the jeal on ay of the Arabs, aroused tliein to a state of surprise, and the news of what Americans at Solomon's garden were doing, and what wonderful tools thov were using, and how . peaceable and quiet they were, never saying | about their religion, flow ou the wings of the j wind, and visitors came to look and wonder, fnmpt far and near. The operations of the J carpenter and blacksmith were not among the ^ leAst sources of wonder. The rnpid manner Jiu which he heated his iron,and hammered it into iust such a shaue as he desired, was he- 1 I yonJ tlio comprehension of tlio simple mind| ed people. One day the farm received a visit from 9 twentv-fivo Sheika, who inspected all the l tools and the way they were used and the I effect produced, and looked at tlio growing; I crops, so much beyond anything they had ] ever seen produced before, and then turned | their heads together to consult upon the } wonders they had witnessed. The conclusion was that these people must possess a superior kind of religiou, as that is the standard upon which they base all their esti-1 mites of character. They made applications j at^Snce for several of their sons to servo as , ' apprentices to learn American farming, and \ did not even object that they should be , taught the principles of American religion, for surely, said they, it must bo a good religion, as these are very good people, and (iod j blesses* their labor beyond uny other in all l'alcstine. It would have been dangerous now for auy one to molest tho American farmers, I since they had all the Sheiks and principal ; men in the country on their side, and an*t? 5 ous for their success and influence. The ; Jews, too, began to think it would bo better J for them to cultivate such a fruitful soil than . starve in the city, as many of them have , done, aud they began to apply for situations as laborers, notwithstanding the priests al ways taught them that it was derogatory to the national character of die Hebrews to till 1 the soil. Though, if they had undertaken it I by themselves, they would not have been permitted by the Arabs, who hunt them ns they would wild beasts. But under the protection of tho American farmers, the Arabs will permit them to labor, and it is now a matter of serious discussion among i muse woo kiiow 01 uio success oi this enterprise, whether the most feasible plan for colonizing the Jews in Palestine is not to make them cultivators of it} rich soil. Owing to some difficulty which aroso in regard to the title of the land the had commenced upon in the Valley of Artos, the little colony moved last years to the Plains of Sharon, where they have got a permanent J location, and the numlier consists now of ten j Americana, male and female, and two Ger; mans, From Nicaragua. 8an Juan, Junk 17.?The health of the; (Isthmus was very good. The news from the interior of Nicaragua continues of a very exciting kind. The revolutionary party had not succeed' f ed, at the last accounts, in getting possession of Grenada. Chamono still held the Plaza, and was making a bloody resistance to ever)* & attack. jML A party of revolutionists hail Hailed for San in, by for, the most important in NicarWagua, oh it commands the Lnko Nicaragua land the mouth of the San Juan rivor. it is there that the customs are collected. > The general impression is, that ere this, JpHastillo has defeated Chamono at Grenada. 'TMuuy of the lending men in Nicaragua will have escaped into the nciffhhorittg State of *'osta Rica. At San Juan, things are unchanged since the sailing of the last steamer? l ite town Will remains without any form of government or law. The station-house, army and amtf munition are in possession of the Jamaica *n?-grtH-s, and many fearful threats are made Jas .to what they will Ho when the "Infernal 1 Yankee"?as they term the armed force at pVuntn Areas*?are withdrawn. I Our Consul, Mr. Fabina, had received official notice from the Government at Washington of their determination to dispatch the JbUyane immediately to San Juan. \ Capt.

Intelligencer, of the '22d ulf., thus describes this curious venom destroyer or extractor: We were shown yesterday one of those curious natural poison extractors, kntfwn as the mad stone, of which there are several that we had heard of in different parts of Eastern Virginia. That which was shown us is in the }>osaoa*iou of Mr. Oliver, who resides upon Halifax street, in this city, and we arc informed that he lias several certificates of cases in which it has been successfully used for the bite of the mad dog. It is rectangular in shape, with parallel sides and polished surfaces, traversed by dark gray and brown streaks, and about a size larger than half a Tonqua bean, except a|..4 .V I- xl ! 1.

Washington Star. Col. W. C. Prestok.?With regard to the health and personal movements of our distinguished fellow-citizen above named, the Wytheville (Va.) Republican gives the following information : "The IJon. Win. C. Preston, of South Carolina, arrived in Wytheville on last Wednesday, and rested a day with his friend and relative, Col. B. It. Floyd. He was on his way to Montgomery and Botetourt, on a visit to Im relation in those counties. Mr. Preston has been suffering for some time from a very severe attack of paralysis, but we hope our pure and bracing mountain air will materially improve his health."
