" ~ all ell BROOM CORN AND BROOM MIK(INiG. at Why is it, Messrs. Editors, that the cul. Sj tivation of the broom corn is so much neg- tr lected in Virginia, when there is scarcely a af more profitable crop in the State? We b< pay yearly a lairge revenue to the New es York and New England fltrners for this li article, which can be raised as successfully bi here as in any part of the world. t. I have been informed that the ihrmers on ce the Mohawk river are making fortunes by ei the cultivation of broom corn, while the manufacturers are also realizing fortunes by tl broom making. I am advised of the exis- it tence of only one fhrm in Virginia on which it the cultivation of broom corn and making b brooms is carried on a large scale. l< Messrs. Look & Lincoln, two enterprising L gentlemen from Massachusetts, now located w about two miles from Christiansburg, culti- d vate, as I have been informed, about thirty p acres of broom corn, and manufacture si brooms for market, for which they find rea- a dy sales at full prices. These gentlemen a also manufacture cheese of very superior L quality, while their wives manufacture very fi excellent palm leaf hats. b Too much praise cannot be awarded to r these gentlemen and their families for the p energy, skill and enterprise with which they w have gone into these various occupations ; b and they deserve from their fellow citizens l; the most liberal patronage. v I thought that Petersburg would afford a si One opening for a professed broom maker, w tond if I could procure a man acquainted it with the namagement of the crop, from the p planting of the seed to the manufacture of Ik the broom, I should be glad to aid in start- e ing such an enterprise. It is time for us to take upon ourselves ii the manufacture of all articles of prime ne cessity. insteal of sending to the North for ; everything. From a wooden button to a s< saw mill, all must come from the North. w Our hats, our shoes, our books, every arti- it cle of our wearing apparel, the finery that ft adorns our wives and daughters, in short, ai everything, even our fashions, must be drawn n from the North. tr It is time to establish our independence.- si We have been too long pouring the profits ri of our labor into the overflowing coffers of that rich North whose people, so far from it sympathizing with us of the South, curse us g in their hearts, denomuncc us as worse thtan h savages, and are seeking, with a fieiud-like tt malice and envy, to seatter firs brands in ii our midst. But to return to broom lnmking, I have no statistics from which to prPijre an esti muiate of the <anount paid out by the South " for this article ; I am certain that if the [b tramount were stated, it would strike some of a your readers with profound astonishment.' I It is the fashion of the day to decry the low state of Virginia agriculture and the " slave labor :s the catues of our comparative poverty, but it is not true. It is this ever- a lasting tribute to the North that makes her. tU self rich and ourselves poor. Our money U is ever tlowinig in copious streams North ward-none, comparatively, ever returns. We not only buy all our goods, wares and k merchandise from the North, but our pro duce must be shipped in Northern vessels. We have indeed become "hewers of wood 12 and draws of water" for the North. WVell, where is your remedy for these evils suggested by a simple reference to broom makingi In one word the " division of labor." Our noble rivers and our milda climate, afford facilities for manufacturing not surpassed by any country. Let the capitalist lay out his money in various large , factories; let him call on Virginia farmers to feed his operators, let the farmer buy and consume his tabrics, and then the money : that now goes to pamper the capitalists of the north will circulate at home, and Vir ginia will soon become rich.-But let us -. continue to draw all our goods, &c., from these, our worst enemies, and our manifest destiny is poverty, poverty, unmitigated poverty.

B.) wvrites us from Gon zales, Texas, as follows: TI I have tried the Chinese Sugar Cane here ai and find it an imiportant acquisition to our 1) agricultural resources. It stands drouth bet- ~ ter than any other plant that I ama acquaint ed with. It seems admirably adapted to our climate here. Its introduction into this country must produce an enitire revolution in our rural operations. its culture will su perceed that of Indian corn and other forage J crops to a considerable extent, and the mo- ot nopoly of sugar will no longer be restricted ol to the State of Louisiatna; it will afford am- VI p~le opportunity of raising poultry, muaking. butter, cheese, pork, lard and bacoin, and bc A the means of producing a quantity of ma- C nure where that is needed. I doubt wheth. ' er it will answer as well on poor land as has i been replresenited by somie writers; except. a probably when sown broadcast for forage. I find it easily affectcd by frost. In every other respect the accounts whlich I have seen. are entirely within the bounds of truth. I planted thme Sorgho on the 14th (of April. plowed it once and subsoiled and hoed once We had no rain after the 13th of May. The grain matured about the middle of July J and produced at the rate of 50 b)ushels to Ii the acre as to the land planted, but from depredations of bugs and p)oultry there wmls a not hlf a stand. After the grain was gath- a ered the stock was turned in the field and I L hadl no opportunity of ascertaining what a - second crop wvould have produced. The 'i stubble is now green, the sprouts have been destroyed from time to time as they have appeared by stock, and recently by the frosts. E. B. AN INTEatEsTING FAcT.-The recent inves. J tigatioins of Prof. Wray, chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, have brought out a curious faict, which may throw light upon the rationa/e of some im. C< portant practices in agriculture. Rain wa-a ter contains ammonia and nitric acid, and-k is from these two substances that the nitro gen of plants is obtained. A series of ex aminations of the water discharged from underdrains, show that it contains less am mnonia and more nitric acid than rain water. Ra'n water tilteritig through the soil, then, parts with its ammonia, but dissolves out IA nitric acid fronm the soil or manures. Flow I rc is nitric acid formed in the soil ? Probably, tao .says, Prof. WVray, from the oxyidation of _ iitrogencus mantures; and he recommiends a more perfect admixture of manures with the soil as the most likely means to prevent the formation of nitric acid, and the loss of1 L nitrogen from leaching. It appears to us, th too, that if the manure was thoroughly de- ~ composed before applying it to the land, it ~ would not only be easier to mix it ultimate lv with the soil, but there would be less ni tr'e acid formed, and coasequently less loss. ful [Geneie Irmr 1' CULTURE OF CELERY. The principal difficulty in raising large d well bleached celery is to get the plants rly, and sufficiently stocky. This is best complished by sowing them early in the )ring in a hot bed, and when an inch high, ansplanting them into a cold frame, and terwards transplanting them into a warm >rder where they can remain till the trench are ready for them. This will seem niore bor than most people are willing to bestow, it frequent transplanting is the only way get strong, healthy plants that will re- To ive little check when planted in the trench during our hot June and July weather. In making the trenches the soil should be rown out at least two feet deep, and twelve pot ches wide at the bottom; the first six has ches being placed on one side, so that it PR used for covering the manure. Good the af compost, or "spit manure," as the ni ondon gardeners say, from old hot beds, or sec 'hat is still better, the liquid and solid the Toppings from a manure cellar, well com. asted with thoroughly decomposed peat r mould be put at the bottom of the trench L bout sixteen inches thick, and covered with on. )out six inches of rich, light surface soil. of et the plants be well watered 24 hours be. Fo ire transplanting, and take them up with a all of earth round the roots,. and they will be aceive little or no check. Good super-phos. the hate of lime either in solution or mixed M 'ith the soil before transplanting, has a very " eneficial eilect, in giving the celery an ear' ar start. We have also used with great ad- w antage Peruvian guano, applied in a weak Ithe >lution, .ay a teaspoonful to two gallons of Th ater. Celery is a gru.s fieder, and revels Samimotiiacal manure. and the well decom? used organie matter or humus of dung, ayes, peat, &c. The soil should be kept >nstantly stirred till the plantzs have got a i ,od start. and it is not weil to he in too such hurry to Colsniicnce earthimg up. It is indeed a disputed liint whether it is ist to earth up at several tites during the .:son as the plants grow. orto ido it at once, - hen they have nearly done growing, late - the bill. We have always adopted tl.e rmer practice, and have had good succe .s; id, on this account, are inclined to recom end it. In earthing up, came should he ken that the soil does niot get hetween the alks, rnd is not well to press it too tightly nmd the plants at first. In England, celery is allowed to remain the ground all winter; but from the -eater severity of our winters, it is better. ?re, at the North at least, i take it up af r it has done growing, and stow it away in e cellar.- Coa'untry Geatlenan.

This PRESS will throw off from 500 to 800 sheets per hour, doing the work equal to any Cylin der Press. The bed stands about .thirty inches from the floor, and is the most convenient of all Presses to make ready the form on. It is adapted to jobbing or book work, as well as newspaper, and will register as well as any other Cylinder Press. It requires to work it, a man to turn the fly wheel, and a boy to feed the sheets. The Inking Apparatus Is very complete, and differs from the apparatus used in Cylinder Presses generally, being more like that used in'the Power Platen Presses. Two rollers pass over the form twice to each impression, taking ink for each sheet. A Press of this description for newspaper and jobbing, bed 14 by 28J inches, with roller mould, roller stocks, blanket, flying and registering appa ratus, &c., complete, will be furnished for $500. If intended for book work chiefly, an extra ink foun tain will be furnished fur $20. The Press, fly wheel, &c., will weigh about 2000 pounds. The sides, &c., are iron. Length of frame, seven feet; height to front edge of feed-board, three feet six inches. Any size made to order. The following is a list of the sizes and prices, as far as established: Bed 28 by 20 ...................$400 " 36 " 24 ................... 450 " 44 " 28J ............ ..... 600 " 46 t 30 ................... 540 " 48 " 31 ........... ....... 580 " 50 " 32 ................. 600 " 52 " 32 .................. 625 " 56 " 36 ................... 800 Boxing and Carthage, $13. The beds will take chases their full breath, and within two inches of the length. TERMS.-One half cash; one half note, four months, with approved security ; or 21 per cent. discount for cash. For more than four years the Oventor of the above Press has been improving it, working it Ml the while, and ascertaining with great care and expense, thebest mode of carrying out all the de taiis, and he now flatters himself he has succeeded in perfecling it. Within the past year important improvements have been made. No Press will leave his premises without being thoroughly tested, and without it performs to the entire satis'action of the purchaser.
