[FrQom ih Iichmnon1d Dispatch.] The nogro - His ;. tatus, &a. .SY "ARIEL.' mThis publication has attracted more notice than it deserves, by reason of tle political interest which just now belongs to) its subject. It is an appeal to proju. dico which may achieve a tern porary viotoriety, but can produceo no fasting ef'ect upon readers of ordinary under standing and reflection. The flippant c9ntermpt witi which the an' hor speaks of the opinions of other men whom lie derides as "the learned," and his parade of hi own discoveries in -biblical research, "concurrent" (mPaninug per haps "contemporaneous") history, Alid the devielopment of mummies, remind one of the qutacksalver and his trumput er at a fair or niariket denouncing all the doctors, and extolling lihe mirac lons and infalliblo virtues of his own pills and powders. This impress;on is confirmed by his language and sty le ; for it is impossible to believe taLt ones who beltrais such ignorance of English grammiar, and of I lie Ileaiing of Eng. lish Words, can possess the acquaintance lie scois to boast of with ancient tongues -still less that he can be capa ble of correcting the inbtakes of his predecessors m1 sINh studie's. Moo. over, there aro passages whiih might tempt us to iingime the whole perfor naneo only a burlesque ; but, taking it altogether, Ie appears to assert his d<g 1as as if ho roally believed thoem. To review such. a production would be a waste of time. The theme, whieb is imflicted on the reader in many repe. titions and involitionsq, is sinplyv this: That the negro is not a descendant of I Han, nor of Noa h1, nor of Adi-m and Eve; tha t Ie was a beas, and as such weit into and came out of the ark ; that lie was the least calle.) .h0 serpent" by which Eve was tomptod' in aradise; nnd' that where it, is said that the sons of God took to Ithemselvyes wives among tho daughters of mnn, to the displeasire of the Almighty, tihe true meaning is that the descendants of Adam took wives from among the clauglters of this boast. WO leave these matters to ho discus. Red by those who may be of opinion that it is worth whlile, and who have the lVainmng necessary for the task - The questioin, to our inind, is iot whiet er thw genealogy of the negro can be 'raced to this or thilt aicestor, or to any miacestor at all ; but it i4 whether, as he now exists upon the ear:h, ho is a man, belonging to the human race or races-or whether he is, as issierted by "A riel," one of the brute creation and a beast, This is obvionsly a- 'pi',,ion of phyi. ology in. its widest stnse. Its sulitson depend' u111pon i comparis3 of the na Lure anid capacity of the negro, of the ihysicid atruotnre lild powers, and of his intellectian l and moral ftaLities on the one hand with I those of t le other racos of men, and on the other with those of lie bruto creation.

I3 OoU a heladlow RootI Plaut Sorne of my brother farmers hold ard practice on the theory that corn is a shallow-rooted plant, and hence is not befited by deep, plowiig, and that the sod frv plowing fair corn I should not ber turned under deeper than four to atz Inches. .acordfng to ' My own experience tWs theory will not hold true in eith or the two points involved ; first, 1et. us eablish tMle' fact as to wh-t er it is or is not a shallow-rooted r nt ; when this fact is firmly establi'i.d, we must theu consider the socund point put forth by the theory, viz : that deep plowing is not. beneficial to coril. Inasmuch as I never was convinced th-a-t eo'rv was a shallow-root ed plant, 1 have perhaps ieed more exertlton to. prove the contrary.. than most of those who have adopted and admitted the theory. Two- ye-ars ago my cornfield was divided into two portfonii by si stream; whicf in common times would run throngh a box six inches square, but having a fall of at least one foot in ten for a portion of its course. In the latter portion of the summer we- had a heavy rain which converteil oar rivu let into a torrent and cuied it to overflow iR'' uks.- It cub for itself a nev course ateross one of the former bonds, and demolished a r;lw of cerh some twenty-five fout long in its course.- After the su-rplas water ran off, the crook took up with its new channel, and the change was not dis covered for about one month, and diring this time the chan nel had been ont to the depth of two feet close' to-the- row of corn, and laying bare one-half of the roots. Same of the lateral ones were found to be two feet eight inohet long, with evi dent signs of having boon evpn three some of those still fast in the edge of the ditch and running very nearly per pendicular, were found to be two feet two inches long.. Last year one of my neighbors- who was favorably situated for the experi. menbt divrected a small portion of a similar stream from its course and caused it to fall from a height of three foot upon a hill of corn out in tassel when, the cx.p-iment began ; the- r-c sult was that the gradua'l action of' tho water separated the- earth frtm the roots,. and with the exception of some few of the perpendicular roots lie was able to extract the whole hill of three stalks with their roots very near entire. These three stalks when set upon a level surfaeo and their three roots sprud out on all* sides, oc cupiedt in a circle five feet four and one-half inches in diameter. NMy neighbor seems very well satisfied thavt le did not succeed in obtaining any of the roots for their entire longth, is some of them were so very minute as to- be broken by the smal.lest strea m of water which lie could: di-root to them. One of the roots-ranni'ng-very near perpendicularly, was measured and found to be two feet and too inch: es in length. This bundle of roots which he nov retains as a curid.-ty, has been pronounced by some not in secret, to be a mass- of (angled sea wood, which it inl. biuth. somewhat re sembles. The result of these two experi'mnents (which any one can try for h imself) have conivinced me that corn-, instead of being a shad!ow-rooted planit, is in reality a very deep-rooted one. The last nmentionedl experiment will, if propnrhy s'i~de-ed, give us some fat~cts which may he unsfui in enabling us to detcrmaino at what dis tance our rows of' corn should be from each other ; this 1 will consider in an other part of umy article, and now en decavor to prove that '2hether corn is a deep-rooted or shallow rooted plant, deep plowing is or will be beneficial to I mentioned in the former part of this article that my neighbor's e;speri ment in wasmi'ng the dirt from his corn roots, brought out several facts. which were of impostaiice in determi ning the proper distane- at which corn shonl'd be planted apart in thme row. His experiment and my accria dental one both go to prove that thei roots of a bill of corn occupy a circlei having a diaineter of nearly six fact,I whereas we, by the mosat cornmon < mode of planting, only allow thmem I four feet in d iameter. From this it is evident that the. ends of the roots 'I fromatwo adjacent rows nmust have, I for a certain period of their growth, toi maintain a struggle for the nourish mont existing in the space they bueh occupy. In view of thlis fact, could n.>t a groater yield of corn be obtained by having the rows five or five and a half I foot apait ? There is, without doubt,t a limit beyond which it is not econo mical, hut I am convinced that five feet (when drilled) is nearer the mark than fonr.-John S. P'ringle, rn Ger ( mantown Tel'cgrapht.
