Agricultural. 1ro t11h e chatrlcston MNercury DAnLioNrO TN, S. C.. Jan 6. 1845. Mr. Iitor.-At the presetit gloomy period of depression in our great siaple. it is a con-olation to learn that there are resources of agricultural prosperity hither to unknown and unuispected among t1%, which every day is bringing to light. ' I allude to the existence of inexha4tible de posits of the richest of all manures -Marl and Lime, with which the State aboutind; amply sullicient with *skill and enterprize. to resuscitate the drooping agriculture of Sout h Carolita. Is ik a Tac:. (the discosv. cry of but a few weeks) that this Di~trict is rich in aise mineral treasur.-s : of far more value than gold mines in th- eyes ofthe political philosopher. One or two depos its of this kind have hcen known for seve ral years. But in t1e cours'e of but a few weeks Marl of the best quality has been discovered in fiftys dilerent localities with in a short distance of this place. And it is confidently believed that it underlies this whole section of country. What a startog fact is this, for (lt desponding agricul'urist if South Carolina I Here we were, year after year torturing over exhausted lands that could he matte to vield but a small and relpctant return for all our labors, and not dteaming that stch rare treasures lay but a few feet beneath the soil we daily trod, and that our fathers trod before us. Is it not amazittg that this discovery should never have been made before. I have often heretofore thought how highly I should priz;, a rici tied of M arl upou toy plantation, nithout, how ver. the most distant expectation of retlizing in titat locality such a blessimg. In the carly part of November last, I saw several specimens of very fine Marl, then jis, disc.:vered in different paits of this District, Soon after, public dities called me from home for four weeks. During mny a)sence, the spirit of research aid the progress of discovery went on. A id on in return. I learned tihat my neighbors had discovered Marl in all directions around mv". This of course stimulatied me to nake rrploration. Accordingly on one of the Christmas holidays, I sallied forth with a retinue consisting of tity over seer and two or three stout negro men, and armed with no other or better imple. ments than a spatle and a two itich augur fixed in a long wooden shaft or - hantle. In a half hour afier a'rriving at the suispec ted localitv, I succedcd in bringing up some of the finesi Marl I have ever seen. It was withii three and a half leet of the 'surfce of the grotind, and lay it the centre of my domain, ztd presetnts no dillicuhy in* being worked a-d hatied (out. It proves to be a very rich aid extensire deposit. amply stiicietit to manure thou sands of acres, and probably inexihuutible. And I have strong reasons for believing that I have on my plantations a number of other and similar dCp.sits. IMy motive.Mr. Ediior. in inditing this article, is 'the hlipe that it may exite others to make examinations for this lire cious material. There are thousauids upon thtonisds of unsuspected localities in which it tmay be found. It abounis tno doubt throughoni the middle and low country of this State. 1, thi not an inte resting fact for our impeverishod Caroli na ! The indications which exist here as la the presence of Marl, may not apply 1,1 other regions of the State. it nay fte as well hiow~ever, ihr me to say, that we geteratlhy see~k it in branches or sprintg heads near somte creek. Thie grow ithif vegetation. which has bteen tiost genera!ly thurnd asociatedI with it, is tmyrtlIe. (tht dodendro a.) bambt to biar an a oi specie< tif vine called rattan. I have not seetn nua place in which Marl wvas not found neriv the siurfaice, in which come of the forego ing growth was tot tneair antd aroui. Yours, &c. From thec Farmerr's ( Chierazc, S.

Sintce the cx tension of mantufacttures in theU. States. it has becomne art obtject of impoirtaince to tntrodute the culture of madder, and the subject has engaged the attention of sev eral intelligent and public spirited individ nals. The plamt grows will in many parts of the south of Europe. The rot is pe rennial, long-creeping, about as large as a q'uill. and red both without and within frim it arise several trailing, quadrangular stems, rough. branching. and two or three feet in length ; the leaves are oblong, oval and pricky on the margin and mid-rib; tho flowers are yellow and small and are disposed in a pasicle, at the 'extremity of the branches, and the axils of the superior leaves; they make their appearance in June and July, and are succeeded by hhtek ikh herri.s. The most approved method of culture is from seed, and when this prac tire is pursued. certain precautions are re qusite. As the madder of hot climates affords more colortng matter, as well as a deeper tint. if is best for those who live in a northerti region to import the seed from ihe sooth. Again, wheu the seed is too ntich dried, it will remain in the grountd two years hefbre it will erninate. Ott tis account, it should be kept in a hed of moistened earth of sand, whenever there is any deln io sowing it. A light, rich and deep s!'il is the imost suitahl.-, and it shull be plough-d to the depth of two feer-. The time of sowing is in Fedruary, or tie heginniug of March. for the northern, and in Septemb r or October for the inore southern regions. "This kind of crop requires but little care and attention. For the first year, it is only necessary to keep it free from weeds, and to hoe it slightly once during the suinmer,and again a little more dee ply in the later pllrt of the se-ison ; the same is req ired the third y var, except that the earth is heaied .:ttout the s!ttms. in order to inke il sh .ot up with tmtore vigor. and enlarge the I-oogs. It is usal, before the wecond i time of hoeing, to cit the stins for cattle. % ho are very foud of it ; but ibi pract 'ie should not bIe repeate. during the s- asoni, as recoimenided ty some writers, or tie roots will suffer. It is only at the end of the third year. that the crop is retly for harvesiing ; and if it is suflered to remain in the ground beyond this period, more is lost th in gained. The toots at this time coniain the greatest quantity (of coloring matter, and have at I tined their full size. The biest method of obtatciig the roots is the following * A trench is dg along the rows to lit depth of two teet. when, lonsenin tile earth about the roots. they may be taken np en tire. In a good soil a single plant may yield forty pounds (if fresh roost, which -liminish, in drying. six -sevenths, or seve' eights of' their weight. The roots should be immediately washed, freed from all de cayed parts, and dried as quick as possible, either by the sui cr in kiln. It is well observed tnat madder is a inzardous croinp, Sasfritu its yieldting a return only after a !apse ot three years, it is often inponissible. to firesee what wit1 tie thu sta:e of the tiomarket at that tone. Aiother mude of cultivaton is from theit roots, which are di vide.d awl set out. Twenty th'ousautd plUts may be allotted to an acre. 'In England. the madder of Iolland is the most esteemed, and it is cultivated in that country to a very great extent. The process of pulverizing the roots. whicl is done by poutitfing or griling. was for a lung time kept a secret by the Dutch. it the state of a powder, it is of an orange brown color, and is li;ible to become damp. and to bi solid if kept in a moist place, Madder is used for dying wllen. silk, and also cotton goods, and the color is very lasting and resists the action of the air and aan.
