VEGETATION OF SEEDS.
Among the important questions which
interest the gardener, is that which relates
to the proper time for putting his seeds in
to the ground. It is well known that dif
ferent seeds require very dif'erent temper
atures to effect their germination; and that
some plants flourish where others would
speedily perish. While the rein-deer moss
thrives best on the snow-capped mountains
of Norway, other plants are found spread
ing themselves over the burning kurface of
the island of Tanna.
Familiar as thise truths are, I believe
no experiments have been heretofore made
to ascertain the precise temperature most
favorable to the germination of different
seeds. To give a staring point to this
question. and to enlist others in the investi
gation, I proffer the subjoined table for
publication. It is the result of numerous
experiments which I made in 1839 & 1840.
My object was to determine what temper
ature at noon, was the most congenial to
the vegetation of the different seeds which
I subjected to experiment. For this pur
pose I planted the seeds at various pe
riods;. noting the state of the thermnomneter
every day, until the plants appeared above
ground. These experiments being repeat
ed, and in every instance giving very .ear
ly the same average temperature, -when
the period of-germination was the same.
has led me to assume as correct, the fol
lowing propositions:
1. When the temperature at noon is-giv
en. (other things being equal,) the time
necessary for the developetment of a seed,
may be ascertained.
2. If the period orgermination be given,
the meridian temperature of the country,
during that period may be determined.
3. Some r-eeds require a much higher
temperature than others to make them veg
etate.
4. When the seed fructifies in the same
year in which it is planted, t'e proper time
for putting it into the ground is when the
meridian temperature is such as to produce
vegetation in the shortest period.
5. Au increase of temperature beyond a
certain point does not expedite the vegeta
tive process.
6. A complete table of ihe kind propos
ed, would be applicable to all parts of the
world.
The letter (s) in the subjoined table, sig
nifies that the seeds were soaked in water
for ten or twelve hours previous to plant
ing them.

The foregoing table may be made use
ful in various ways. It will serve to in
form the young gardener when he may ex
pect his plants to appear above ground ;
he will discover, that in some cases he
must wait a long time. It also shows clear
-ly the advantage of'soaking the seed : some
of the soaked peas, for example, came up
in 11 days; while those that were not so
treated required 14 days, even with the ad
vantage of six degrees more heat. The
difference is. still more remarkable in the
beet seeds. A certain writer says parsley
seeds "will seldom vegetate ander five
weeks;" but adds he, "if soaked 12 hours
in water with sulphur. they wvill come up
to less than a fortnight." I have piroved
by careful experiment that there is no va
Iue in the sulphur; water answers eqtually
well, as the water wvith that addition. The
Lima Bean lying 20 days in the groand of
*the usual dang~ness of spring, partially de
cays; and if at comes up, it seldom ma
-t uresits fruit, Persons therefore living in
*a latitude wvhose highest meredian temper
ature barely readhes 62 degrees, (see table)
should not plant this seed; nor should
* they do it in any latitude until the noon
temperatur attains -to 70 or 80 degi-ees.
heat is therefore tbe proper one to piant the
beans in. Those who plant earlier, wOll
not realize a perfect crou; and indeed if
much earlier, they will scarcely find one
mature pod.
It is obvious that the color and 4uality of,
the soil produce a material influence upon
.the vegetative process. So that if the
ground Le of a very dark color; or inher
ently warm; or very n iist; or very dry;
germination will be more or less rapid, ac
cording to the operation of these extraor
dinary agencies; and of course, there will
he a proportionate deviation from our tah
ular periods and tet peratitures. Bus in this
case, the deviation, I think, would he uni
form througiout the casalogue. If any
given seed should grninate a few lays
sooner, in an unusually warm soil, all the
other seeds would be proportionably ear
lier in their growth; so that the ratios men
tioned in the table would he preserved.
I find by recurring to my rieteorological
records, that at Richmond, latitude 39*
51', the average.temperattre at noon, of
the 3-1 month is 53 degrees.

I should be pleased to see reportsofrsim
ilar experiments to the atove, from the
scientific readers of this paper, livingiin dif
ferent parts of the State. Useful results, I
conceive, would be produced by such a
course of investigation. I hope some in
the northeru, sithern, nrd western por
tions of our State, will not let she ensuinC
season pass over without directing their
atsantiion to thesubject; and that they will
communicate the results of their experi

MECHANICS.
If any class of cit izens can claim eq'uali
ty with the yeomanry of the country, the
cultivators oflthe soil, it is the hard-aiSted
and industrious Mechanics. Long have
they been looked upon as inferiors and vas
sal*-of whomi !-ofthe virtuous, good, and
the great 1 No: but of the self-wtiled, the
haughty, the irresponsible, the speculators,
[h shavers, the idlers, the rebellious, the
swindlers, the lovers of pleasure imore than
the-lovers of God, with which the laud is
infested. Among a certaiu class, the name
ofanmechanicis often viewed with teproach,
and it is lrequenstly the case that it is con
sidered disreputable and coudescending to
walk the streets or be found in converse
with a plain and honest shop-laborer. Are
they a msere dreg in the community, and
not fit associates for the very cream of the
best society ! It has been said in days ronl.
gone by, that
" An honest man is the noblest work of God."
and this noble sentimtent becomses trite and
unfashiouable in shese days of ltimsy re
tinemseut and high life, upon the earmgs
of those who would not deign to violate the
solemu behest, that nan should gamn tis
living by the " sweat of his brow 1" Fron
the odium that is avon; to be cast, we are
constrained to ask, who are these "home
spun" sturdy mechanics, that are not equal
to nature's noblemen ? They are the in
ventors and makers of all the world's usa
bles. They are the individtals that make
our houses, our furniture, our tixtures, aud.
our garmtents; are they not great indeed ?
-To thei we are indebted for every conve
nience, and almost every luxury of life
and it' farmers can, with propriety, be styl
ed the back-ho,.e of society, mechanics
shoulJ at leass, claim to be thte pillars aund
supplorts oif the lfabric.
TCo appreciate his vensera ble pirofession,
it most be cotnsidet-ed that me-chaniics is ;a
science whticha has chasmed the attentiont ot
the intelligent of' all statisons anid nations.
The termn is from a word in Greek, which
signilies a machine, a contr'ivance, asnd is
she sci'ence which treOats of loirce and mot
tion-Forces acting on bodies msay either
pr-oduce rest or motion. Ia the former
case they tire treated under statistics, anid
in the latter under dynamics. Th'le first
machine constructed, of' which we have
knowledge, was th'e unsiverse, "whose tmak
er and tbuildetr" is the Author of atll things.
In this gratnd mnachintery wtsdosm and mtight

put forth, all sutbject to the samte g'ravntat

and thus it sht-stad not be astoma~hinsg whsen
we r-ellect that it was this Archt-metchtass
that '-stretches out the ntih over the
emapty place, and hunwg thle ear-th upson no

waters in the hsol low of his iatnd, aitd
meted out heavetn'with a spatn, ansd cosm
preeiided the dust of the cat'rin int a mten
sure, aind weighed the mosuttais ains scales,
and the hills ts a batlance." Thlis is ntot
the only evidence oh an tlustriou~s msechsan
ie. Jesus Chsriss si.siself wits a carpementr,
and the Apostle Paul a temi-miakes. But
time would f ail to sp~eaks of the htonoraible
mechanics of the wvorld. TIhe namtie oh'

who set his own typie, anid woirked his ownt

Thousands of exampi Iles are faiih'su Iy

who as by Li.adsay's Arabian.
The Periarnnaces of A GYL E npotn
the Turf, have placed him in the very first
rank ofAamerican llorses as a Racer, while
those of his get enile him to an eqtal
standing as a Stallion. He started first at
Orange burg. S. C. in January 1834, anr
ran at Barnwell. Atgusta, Macon, Collan
Iin, nnd Charleston, two, three. and lour
miles heats. waining succersively 8 races,
five of taem of four mile heats, beating
Patsy Wallace, Rattlesnake, (31irries) Lit
cy Ashton, Ruslhlight. Bertrand junior.
(twice) Vertutraus, &c. &c. ie never
lost a heat, and was rarely if ever pila up
to his speed, until his extraordinary defena
by John Bascombe in April, 18:36, the
circumstances of which are familiar to
every one. Subse.quently he was trained
and run with great success in Vircinia;
and in May last on the Central Course t
Baltimore, after rimaning for the first ient
of t hree miles, and losing it by a head in 5
minutes 47-seconds, he won the second
heat in 5 minutes, 40 seconds, being the
best second heal of three miles recorded in
the history of the American Tnrf, and the
most brilliant performatce of a year sur
passing all others in the richness of its an
nals. During the same week, and on the
same course, one of his daughters, Kaae
Seaton, won the great sweepstakes of
$1000, beating a fine field with great ease;
such a coincidence being hitherto unknown
upon the Turf.
ARGYLE stood but one season and to
a limited number of mares, inot many of
which were thorough bred, yet his colts
have won nine out of The eleven races fo
which they have been started, beating at
one, two, and three miles, the get of many
of our best Stallions, besides several in
ported colts, some of them in first-rate
.-mine. Two of his get, Governor Butler.
and' Kate Seaton, are now unrivalle.tiin.
the Turf by any thiig of their age.
The owners of ARGYLE. in hringing
him back to the State in which (tho' not
foaled) lie was first trained aand gained his
earliest lanrels, present him wiath contfi
dence toahecPaublic, as beinag in every way,
ott account of his btloodl, sire tandl form, his
performances on the aurf, so retmarkablle
for endurance, as well as speed, anal thte
extraoartdinary suecess of his get, worthy of
their entire ap~probation.

Citizens'of Charleston,
AND THE NEIGHBORING STATES..
Y OU are respectfully informed that 70
MEETINS6 STREET 70-is my Office for
the exclusive sale of BRANDRETH'S VEGE
TABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS. Price twon
ty fiie cents per box, with directions ii-Eniish,
French. Spanish Portuguese and German.
The high and universal repauatiori of. the
BI antdeth Pills, renders it unnecessary tocoam
ment largely on their particular virtues. As an
anti-bilions and purgative medicine, they are
unequalled by any. Their purifying elect on
the blood is universally allowed-all that have
ever used have approved and recommended
them.
In many cases where the dreaiil ravages of
ulceratlon had laid bare ligament and bone, and'
where to. all appearance, no human means
could save life, have patients by thi use ofthese
Pills, beet, restored to good health; the devour
u disease having beencompletely.eridicated.
In consequence of the plcasantnesu of their
operation, they are universally .used in every
.ection ofthis wide extended country where
they are made known, and are fast surperseding
every other Preparation of professed similar
import.. Upwards of Fonrteen Thousand cases
have been certified as cured, solely from thei
use since the introduction of'that into the U.
States, thus establishing the fact beyond all
doubt, that the Brandreth Pills cure the. (appar
rently) most opposite diseases, by the one
siuple act of continually evacuating the bow
els with theim, until the disease gives way
therefore, whatever may be said of the TAEORY,
the UTILITY of the P'IACTICE is flow BEYoND all
DOUBT.T
As Brandreths Pills cre Scarvy' Costive
ness, and its consegneinces, seasraring amenf
and all travellers to foreign regions, should not
be without, in order to resoit to them on every
occasion of illness. No medicine cheat is sA
quired where they are.
N. 13,-Time or climate af'eefs them not,
provided they are kept dry. Sonthera gente
men will find this medicine one that willisum
health to the people on their estates.
Be careful mnd never purchase Pills of a
Druggist. PPOFISS:NG to be Brandrethi's Pill.
Under so CIRiCUMSTANCEs is any one of this
class made an Ageni. My own established.

when over twelve mnttths old, it no longer
