EDIToR.-There are len- of our farmers, particularly those who cultivate the pine lands, but are aware of the dilli culty of rearing a good, or even a passuble crop, upon ground of the first year's tend ing, unless the timber be ierfictly dead, and the ground grubbed- which latter pro cess, is now considered unnecessarilyla borious, as well as injurious to the land. Even then, corn planted in it, has a ten dency to "run too much to stalk," in other words, producing a tall slouder stalk, wvaili no ear on it, and in many instances, not even a shoot. As a remedy for this, the following simple course is recommended: -After te Corn has been -laid by," and the tassel pretty well blown or spread,and the shoots formed, of the most forward stalks, pull the tassel out of every other rowv of Corn. This is proposed, because the process may be more regularly ac complished; but if tbeCorn is inore luxu riant in ~sote spots tian in others, which is usually the case, the tassels may be pull ed out promiscuously, over the field,near ly in the proportion of every other row; but always from the stalk that has the least, or no shoot, or where the shoot does not appear thrifty, in proportion to the luxuriance of the stalk. The effect is to stop the growth upwards, of the stalk, and thereby aid the shoot; as the strength and nourishment, which is sent up from the roots, ceases to be consumed in the tassel, it forces its way out at the first yielding point which presents itself, which is the shoot, near the top, that produces the ear of corn. The consequence is, that in due time, five ears of corn appear, where, othewise, in all probabilty, would have been only worthless shoots. The tassel should nothe pulled out, lower than the second joint from the top. This is a simple and effectiveoperation. Yet, simple as it i, however, it requires much diligence -and perseveramw; bu it most amply repays the labor, in the larg er produce of the corn, besides alfording to horses, a wholesoume and renovating diet; for they are remarkably fond of the assel of the corn, while green and juicy. The tassel should not lie pulled out of the corn, all at the same time, but, as the smaller stalks approach maturity; nor should they be pulled out too much in a cluster, if promiscuously. I have tried this plan, experimentally, both in the garten, and in the field: au1d invariably found it of advantage. It is peculiarly beneficial to corn in uev ground, .for the reasons above stated, that it has a greater tendency there, to run too much to stalk and if generally practiced, will be found of great utility Soilfor the cultwe of Cotton.-At a meeting of the A.siatic Society, Mr. Solly read a report on the chei-al examina tion of a series of soils from some of the principal cotton plmtations of Georgi;-, which had been procured by Viscount Palm.:rston, tit the request or the commit tee of commerce and agriculture cf the so ciety. .The examination of these soil., was undertaken with a view to ascertain some of the circtitmtances found to lie most favorable to the cultivition of cotton in Georgia, and thus indicatina the best manner of improving the culti- ution of cotton in India. Mr. Soly stnted th..t. in order to resider a comparison of thi kind of any practical value, ii waa aho lutely necessary to take into account a variety of circumstances cotinecteil with the nature of the climates of the countri'n so cornpared.-such as the limits of tern perature, the rapidity of evaporation, the form of the surfitcee of the cotuntry, tbe ra diting power-o the soil, the retenttive power for water, and matany oilier points. These were all of the utmost tmportane anti wvould completely modfifv the actiont of the soil, so that a stil which in one situation would be excellenit fur the cubti va tiotn ofeottoti, would in another climate be totall tdlit. The result of the chemi cal examination -of these specimens show. ed themn all to be of a light, sandy. atnd rather poor description, consisting i'rinci - pally of a fine sand, hetld together by a sall quantity of allumina, oreclay and c-ol ored oxides of-iron and mainganese. Then quantity of o~rgiaic matter which ihev' contained was small. One of the most importatit facts observed was, the ex tremely smpall portion of carbonate, sir iti deed,any form of litne which they conitain ed, showing thtat the presence of this suib stance is not so essial to a good cotton soil, as htas been thought by somue wvriters on the culivation of cottont. The great difference talso between the- black cottn soil of America, and that of India, wvas pouted out; the former bieing comptjosedh of a fine, white, siticious sand comaininC hur-very litile alumina, antd colored whol ly by organic matter; whilst the kttterconu sisted apparently of the debris of Volcanic rcks. Mr. Sally concluded -by remark ing, that the goodness or the soils fromt Georgia depended pr-obably far-more on the mechanical strtucture, than on the chemical c-ompolitionl; andl that the pros nce of lime or anty other stubstatnce, was of far less importance, thtan that it should e of jt light, porous, and not too trch a character.-London Athteneum.

Besides all this-lie treesi may be planted in his worn out lands, where they do well, nnd in the course of five or ten years, they will improve the soil, and make it fit for cot ton.or corn crops.

The trees ought to he two years old, before the cows are allowed to feed on them.

PROPOSALS FOh REVIVING THE Southern Review. T HE Subscriber, in propositg the re-es tablislineut ol the Southern CViLW, I luems it uuuecessauy to refer to the history ofI that work, which is alread) in tue possession of' the punihc,or to dwell on the high estimation in which it was held both at home aid abroad. du ring the period of its countinuance. ' Sutfice it tu say, that its career, though brief, was, as all admit, brilliant-creditable to the bouth and to the wiiole American Union. Is failure-the subject of universal regret-was owing, it is weil known. not to a destitution of talent and public spirit, but arose 1st, from its limited cir eulation, which was by no means adequate to sustain a work of such magnitude, and 2ndly, from the political differences which agitated the country about the time of' its discontinuance, dividirig the friends of Southern Literature in to two great parties. and preventing that har miony of opinion and co-operation in the dis cussion of' leading questions, which is desirable in a work professedly devoted to the cause of the South and the whole South. It is proper to con:ider first, the utility of Reviews, regarded as organs of the literary spi rit and opinions of the age, andisecondly, the itilportaice and necessity of establishing such - work at the South. at the present time. On the first point, it is scarcely necessary to say much, in the present advanced stage of period ical literature. Ably conducted Reviews are the offspring of a high state of civilization, and are the best evidence, now-a-days, that can be furnished of intellectual advancement, and the prevalence of a pure and elevated philosophy. Tlhe last half century has produced few au thors of eminence, either in Great Britain or America, in comparison with the half c. ntury that preceded it, and the reason probably is, not that there has been a want of genius. talent and scholarship in this confessedly intellectual age. but simply because distinguished scholars have found a readier and a better organ through which to act directly on the public mind in Re views, than through the medium of books-the old more tedions and more expensive method. If therefore, it be asked, what evidence is or can be furnished of the superior intelligence and progress of the present cetury-a pro gress of which we are so apt to boast-the re ply is that it is to be tboud ii, the high character of the .4uarterly Reviews abroad and at home. If it be affirmed, that we have no native liteia ture in this country, and therefore no materials to furnish the - round work for Reviews, the an Rwer is. that our Reviews constitute our native literature, and that if learning and scholarship are sought for, they are to be found in our Re views, which therefore should be warmly and firmly sipported, as an evidence. and a fair one, of our literary pretenslous and our national character. Besides, no one cause, it may be safely affrmed, has contributed so much to eli rit talent, to awaketn literary ambition. and to produce the highest order of fine and powerful writing, as the estiblishnent of Iteviews; and ma':v iudividuals have been stimulated to ex traodinary efforts. and have been subsequently known far and wide to fame, iii consequence of -he olportnmities they have enjoyed and impro ved, ot contributing successfully to works of so influential and highly respectable a charactei individuals, who, otfierwise, in all probabilitv. would never have been tempted to test their strength on the literary arena with such conpet itors as they would be' likely to meet there. The great ain of Reviews is, to discuss sub jects learnedly,thoronghly,profoundly-in such a waniier as to bear upon the whole social sys tem. and pro-uce a broad. deep and permanent impression upon the general character of a peo ple: In one word, their object is to diffuse knowledge, not to foster prejudices-to create, direct and control-not to echo opinions-to produce beneficial changes upon a large scale -not to perpetuate or even tolerate existing a huses. It is obvions, therefore, that while, in the infancy of American literature, a spirit of indulgence has been felt and extended to the fhimits of onr lighter periodicals, which are rap idly issued from the pri'ss, and which have set ved a-s vehicles often for the attempts of the iiere literary debutant, Quarterly Reviews, heaviig higher aims to ncconmplish. and intend ing to represent and embod y, in the most pow erful and attractive form, the opinions only of the most enlightened ominds shoutlid be con tiucted with a scrupulous regard to the pure'st pincipl-es of taste, mind to the elevation and ad-. vancement of our literary aid national char liter. In respect to thme importance and necessity of -talishig such a work at the South at the present time, there can be little doubt in the mrinds5 of' our discerning atid public spirited ilizens. We must have stuch a work, or f'all behind the spirit of' the age, which is of-a pre rminently ingitisitive and enterprising chiarac ter. and the South should have such a work,ntt anly from motives ofliterary p ride and emutla ion, in order to keep pace with thme respectable idvances of'the either wide, intelligent, and thri ring sect ionis of the American republic, but afso be'ause the South has. at the present period es pcially, cert ain greatand-lending interests of ,ts own to promote, which can be most effectnm div siibserved through the instrunmentaelity' of' mteh a periodical. It is not necessary' to raise he war cry againist other portions of ihe Uniotn who may 'feel disposed, as 'hey often do, to dif er from ius in their views of ocur agricultural, oiuerciael and political interests, buit it is im portant, highgly so, that we should take our touthern positotn firmly in the present attitude af eur national aiahirs: that our position should be clearly known and umderstood, both at honie iud abroad; that we should be ready to defend rslves and our institutions from Iall covert or peni asaults; that we should maintain the prin ples of'the Federal Constttiton in its ongiu al initention, with a firm and unflinching spirit, ad promote the cause of' a pure and elevated iterature by all the' inducements that can he elucd out to sftiniulate the ambition and pride of intelligent and chivalric people. Propositions hiave' heen frequenatly made here tofore for the re-vival of the Southern Review, which anfortutnately have noet been crowned with the success that was hoped or anticipited orithem. Different causes have been assined or the failure of~these pro-ects, but the lendinig sne undoubtedly' is, the neglecting to avail our eeles of' .a very ravor-ablo state of thte pnblic reeling by following up well digested plans with vigorous and concerted action, We have at ttill-f'olded our hands and closed outr eyes, and then have complained of universal apathy. [t is believed, that at the present mnoment,a veiny deep, general and earnest desire pervades the Southern communitv. or at any rate, the most influential portion ofit, to re-establish andi placo on a perimanetnt foundation, a Qutarterly Review of the highest order. If' the sibscribcer can en list this'feelinig in his behalf, he will have rea son to anticipate the most flattering success otherwise his efforts will be vaiti. It is proposed that each number of the con templatedl work shall containi at least two hun dred and fifly octavo pages of'original matter. printed in the best style of the Amnericani press. Twenty-five kntdrcd or three thousand sub scribers at five dollrnra atnutalhy, the money be ing ptaid, wonld yield an amunit sutllicient to establish the' wor'k, and aff'ord a handsome re muneration to writers for literary labor. A strong appeal is made to the public spirited citizens of'the South. and also efthe West and South West, already united to us by strong ties in a commercial aud agricultural point of viewv -in behalf of' the proposed work. - DnIToL .
