U ,--o WASHINGTON NEWS. NOMINATION OF* GOVERNOR OF NSW MEXICO THE TAY.MENT OF THE JULY INTEREST-THE DISCUSSION OF THE ALABAMA TREATY-SUM NEB ON THE WAK PATH-THE UNRECON? STRUCTED STATES, ETC., ETC. WASHINGTON, April 14.-The President has nominated Charles C. Crow, of Alaba? ma, as Governor of New Mexico. The monitor Sangus sails for Cuban waters-in twelve days.. Tho Secretary of the Treasury gave official notice to-day that the interest cou? pons' payable on the 1st day of July next will bc paid on pr?sentation at the proper offices, npon an abatement of interest at the rate bf six per cent, per annum. In tho Senate, Chandler and Melton de? sired; tho Alabama treaty to bo debated with open .doors, but they Were unsuccessful. Charles ? Sumner made a speech, and said Euglaud should be Called! upon to admit that sh o was in the wrong in recog? nizing} the Confederate States ?os bellige? rents; The rebel cruisers were built in British ports, equipped with British arma? ments, manned with British seamen, got to sea with British colors, sheltered ana pro? vided-with stores in ports of tho British islands, and though well known to have first escaped to sea in violation of England's neutrality laws, were permitted by British vessels of war to pursue their course of di struction without molestation. Chandler made a fierce attack on England, and her course, .and expressed the belief that there was not room enough on this con? tinent for any nation which had so grossly insulted tho United States. Ho had long believed the struggle would one day come over Capada?-and he now believed it would come in his day. Fessenden endorsed the views of Sumner, that the treaty on this subject should rise to the full dignity and importance of the in? ternational questions involved, and that the I nation with a duo regard to its own honors could not consider it on any lower grounds. The President has ordered Gen. Reynolds, to proceed with the registration in Texas preparatory to an election, and it is believed that similar orders lia ve been given in refer? ence to Virginia and-Texas. -r> OEXKUAI, DOMESTIC l\i hJil.KiHNCK.

In the year 1694, n vessel from tho Island of Madagascar put into the port of Charles? ton, S. C., in distress. The cook on board had a small quantity of rough rice, which was procured from him by Landgrave Smith or Smythe, who hnd traveled iu the Bast, and knew from observation the great value of this edible vegetable. The Landgravo planted the seed in his garden, near White Point, at present within a populous part of the oity of Charleston. Tho product was distributed among the neighboring planters, who, in turn, extended it to others iu the interior, until, in time, it was planted quite largely on uplands and low lands; and rice became, eventnally, the chief staple produc? tion of that Slate. Although good returns had been mnde from its culture on uplands, it was early ascertained that low, wet, or damp ground was better adapted to its vi? gorous growth. The next step was the dis? covery of the superior advantages of the tide-water lands, with their facilities for irri? gation, combining rich soil with tho usual fertih'zing influence of water, which also materially aided the tillage, by retarding, suppressing or destroying the grosses. The Carolina rice thus managed, often reached an average of sixty bushels per acre, a sin? gle grain sometimes throwing out from sixty to seventy tillers or branches, each branch having a head of from 10 to 380 grains, and costing comparatively little, after the first outlay for embankments, trunks, dikes, etc., it was cheaper than that from the East, and by selection and improvement of the seed, so much superior iu quality, that it became celebrated and controlled the markets to thc extent of its production. Another effect probably was, to discourage its general cul? tivation and restrict it, in a great measure, to the seaboard of Carolina aud Georgia. The existing derangement o? labor and recent loss of capital in theso favored lo? calities, causing tho diminished supply und greatly enhanced price of nu article of as much popularity, und almost us universal ufe among certain classes, as augur, has sug? gested inquiry whether rice cannot be suc? cessfully grown beyond the narrow limits of the tide-water swamps. It will no doubt surprise many to hear that a decided affirm? ative may be given in reply. Hico may be produced wherever the cereals flourish, between the parallels of 70 degreeg.from the equator^Aod the .higher the latitude tho better is the quality, al? though less in quantity. It is a mistake to suppose that it is exclusively aa aquatic plant, and must necessarily be flooded with water. While a moist soil is highly benefi? cial, and periodical irrigation and a warm sun, as they do nenrly all kinda of vegeta? tion, render it more prolific, these are not indispensable. It grows equally in Liberia and China-as well, with larger, coarser grain, if not so abundantly, near the snow line, on the Hy malaya Mountains, as amid the waters and marshes of the torrid zone. It was found growing wild near the North? ern lakes, and afforded aliment to tho abori? gines. It was acclimated in Germany, and made a fair yield on the Thames, in Eng? land. In our own np country it has re? turned fifty bushels to the acre, and the largest grained and whitest rice ever seen by the writer was produced near the moun? tains of Carolina. The census of 1840 (the only one at hand) shows that the year be? fore it was produced iu eleven States, vary? ing in quantity, from sixty-five pounds in Missouri, to 66,897,214 pounds in South Carolina. In fact, rico will grow wherever wheat will, and by bestowing attention and care, with more profit than either rye or barley. It delights, however, in moist ground, and low places should bo selected, us tho mar? gins of creeks or branches, or drained ponds, j The culture, with us, does not require any j peculiar skill. On the coast, they lay off trenches five or six inches deep, from thirteen to fifteen inches apart, and drill from two to two and-a-half bushels of seed to tho acre. It is worked altogotl er with tho hoe, which is slow aud tedious. The system hero must bo varied. Furrows should be made with tho bull tongue or shovel, twenty inches or two feet apart, to permit tho uso of tho sweep or plow, and ono bushel of grain will plant tho acre, for in early days only one peck per aero was required on rich land, where it tillered numerously. The last season, tho writor gathered twenty-fivo bushels of paddy-tho name of rough rice, borrowed from the East-from less than an acre of an old pond field without manure-with drills two and-a-half feet apart-having sowed at the rate of one bushel of seed per acre, and worked it twice with the sweep and twioe with the hoe. As with every other crop, the gross must be kept down, which, at the first hoeing, should be carefully picked ont with the fin? gers, if not to be reached with the hoe. If the ground ia dry enough, corer the seed after planting with a board, as ls done with ootton-if too wet for this, use the plow or hoe. Plant in April, or even early in May I would answer. When ripe, known by the I yellow stalk and leaves, but to be tested by robbing a head with the fingers, cu?, with a sickle or reop-hook, lay it in handfuls across i the stubble to oure till the next day; then, after the dew disappears, tie in sheaves as one does wheat, and seoure it in the barn, orin stacks, until prepared to thresh it. The threshing may be done in tho old style, wit?ails, or (aa the grui ns shed very easily) I a int thresher : might better serve the [ poise. To obtain the most matured, and, the ire, the best seed for the following) yea bresh a portion of each of as many she s aa may be desired, on a piece of I boa or- over.a barrel, holding the batt of the caf between the bands. The ripest fall st, and the remainder may be reserved for { ordinary process. If land to any reusable extent be planted in rico, no doubloaning mills will be ereoted, or ma cluny- for the purpose will be attached to tho Ila in common use. Until this is done, the { time pestle, of seasoned pine, and the rrtar, burned out of the section of a piting, although slow, will be entirely ef fecti, affording one consolation, that moro goodce will bo saved and less loss incurred I fromm flour, than nre usual in a pounding I mill.
