The great error committed by most Virginia farmers, is, it, cultivating too much ,and in grain, and particularly corn.-erho corn crop is exhausting. It regqires much nutriment from the soil, and frequent stirring of the earth with the plow, the hoe, or the cultivator, which soon exhau.ts the soil, unless it receives large and frequent supplies of manure, to restore what has been ex tracted from the soil by the crops taken from it. It, a piece of virgin land t.e cleared and put in corn, and this crop repeated annually for three or four con. secuitive years, the vegetable matter in the soil is exhausted, and the land is worn down by such an injudicious course. This, although improper and injudicious, is a very common practice. ,Jf such land, before n plow is put in it, coul receive a dressing of' 50 or 100 to 200 bushels of marl, and after a crop of corn has bce taken from it. succee did by sm Yain, and on this crop cloveta'eel in and pernjitted to re ",r Irf 6t Yii l ttsoyeaisng-razeil, W nni1> plowed down to be again crop. pe orn or wheat, the land never would;iinal never could be worn out, ut would be annually improving. Such, I am pleased to say, is becoming the practice of our best fainers, who are already reaping rich harvests by such a course of improvement. The old three-field system, which has been so injurious to the farmers of our state, is becomint fast into disrepute, and the four and five-field systemas are much more generally adopted than for. merly. The old three.field systemiia was very ruinous to our lands. The first year, one third of :he arable land was put in corn, the next year in wheat. if it would produce it. If toy poor for where, it was put in rye or oats. The third year, this same field was made a pas ture for all the cattle and hogs on the farm, so that at the end cf the year, there would not be a spire of grass re maining on the field. Then it was again subjected to the same course of cropping and grazing, without the aippli. cation of manure, in manay inastanaces. Andar thaose whao made great exertions to make and apply mnanu re, could not raise a quantity anything like sualicient to ap pyto the large large field inatendedr ihr corn the next year, and conasequmently, the amost industrious anid pe rseverinag farmer was coimpelled to cultivate a large poirtionl of his corn crop withott ~; a.i manuare. Anmd evena suach a one - saw, by thaiq syste'm, his Iliand dleteriora. tirng, or at best at a staned still. But I am pleamsedl to say a be(tte'r sys. tem is commag into practiic, aneor Jarms are beginneinag to show thle great ad. vanatago ot a dilrent systeml. Somae adopt :hac four-shuift; system one in corna, one iln wvheat, oats, or a ye, arad two ina clover. This is a beatiful systemn, and if prp erly carried into practice, by the raid] of limne, marl, ad manures, will, in a shaort time, make tihe poorest fairms present a dhiflre.nt aspaet. Inmstead of the bare anal naked eartha, you will have p)rLeen. ten to your sight ye rdanat anald luxuriianot fields of clover, whaeat, or corna. Acnd the fecrmrer, instoeal of* rea ping sceamy an rulnaaprofit able crops, findars t hat lhe lhas to enala rge hais graaries and build addei. tioneal corna cribs. The fiv'e-fichl system is premacie by some farmeers. Th'lat systeme taxes the hand more severely than the four-field. Thie custom) is to pult t wo ill clover. TPhis three fifths of the farm are in grain, aend t wo fift ha in g rass. Wihrre as, in the fhucr-fieldl, only ono half of i le tiermn is ina grain, andl the remaini ng h~lalI in greass. Iloth systems, honwever, have their advocaltes.

Unade~r this llan, thenre sheouhl he nao grranerii of thae (jell anad it heonmee ne. cessary to have a standing pasture, as it is caled; or a piece of land devoted to grass and pnsturage. Any of these systems, however, if well and properly carried out, will re sult in a rapid and decided renovation of worn.out farms, as they are called. Our farmers have abundant and ample sources from which they canr,- by a ju dicious system and an industrious appli. cation of the means within their reach, make their poorest fields, rich and pro. ductive. I can speak more particular ly of the advantages of the seaboard where I reside. Here we have marl on or near most farms. If that cannot be had, we have navigable water to our farms, and can procure lime in any quantity. We have an inexhaustible supply of vegetable matter in our woods and on onr shores, as well as marsh mud in the greatest abundance. All that is necessary to give new life and vigor to our exhausted lands, is, to make a compost of lime, leaves, and marsh mud, and apply a good dressing before planting in corn, and it will show pret ty soon that the farmer did not labor in vain. In consequence of the great abun. dance of marl in Eastern Virginia, and the use of it pretty extensively, it is of feeting a wonderful improvement, wherever it is applied. Although it does not exist on my farm, except at such a depth as to he inaccessible for agricultural purposes, l have, notwith stanrding, used ruurl with great and de. cided advantage. Marl, I have obtain. ed from York liver, and lime from Bal. timore and from Maine. A VtIaRttAN. MfatLures, County Va., June, 1850. American Agriculturist. -.-... Results from Subsoil Plowing. Mr. Jacques, of Rtahway, New Jer. sey, speaking of subsoiling says: On -l 1.2 acres of shelly land, he raised 530 bushels of corn, which was a much greater yield than he anticipated, tak. ing the season, soil, and all into account. The ground was prepared by plow. ing about four inches deep with i a sur face plc'v, which "as as deep a.3 the imt. plomeit could be made to go, owing to the compactness of a shelly subsoil. The subsoil plow followed immediately after, loxwening the earth some. 1 wdvpe.

Among the millions who are in the habit of consulting the columns of a newspaper, doubtless there are few, comparatively, who are acquainted with its origin. According to D'lsraeli, we are indebted to the Italians for the idea; although in ancient ItRone, reports of important events, and the doings of the Senato were frequently published tin der the title of "Act a I)iurna." The periodical press properly commenced at Vienna and Augsburg, Germany, in 1524; the bulletins were, however, not printed. Thirty Volumes of these nat. uscript newspapers existed in the 1 ang. linbechten library, at Florence. Ahout the year 1503, at the sugg estion of the (ather of the celebrated Montague, offi. ces were first established in France, for the purpose of making the wants of in dividuals known to each other. The advertisvineits received were pasted on the walls to attract attention; as in the case of the Romans, this ul imately led to a systenutic and periodical publica tion of alvertisem:ents in sheets. The epoch of the Spanish A rtntda is also the epoch of the first orthodox tiewspa. per. In the British museums are sev eral newspapers printed while the Span. ish fleet was in the English Channel, during the year 1558. It was strictly the organ of the government, and pro babcly its leading editor might have been "The great Lord Blurghilev;" it was styled, "The English Mereurie." The earliest specimen referred to in the 1Brit. ishl M usentm, is marked No. 50, and is in loman. not in black letters; and as to its contents, it m: ight alnost be sup. posed the model of the 'London Ga.. ezeite" of the present dn. I)uring the reftn of James I, news. parpers in the quarto form. were oec;s ionally issued; but during the- itirty years' war, when the exp:oits of Gus tavus A dolphus attracted the eyes of the civilized world, we find i regular week. ly paper, edited by Nathaniel lttler, aid puiblished uinder the title of "The Certain News of the Present Week;" which may be regarded as die,. :st rig. ular weekly newspuper. - Durine4he civil wv ' ,WI.

So important an auxiliary was the press considered indeed, that each of the rival armies carried a printer with it. In the rein of Queen A nne. 1702, there was but one daily paper published in In odon, the others being weekly is. sues.

A new method of manufacturng orna nental glass has lately been discovered, which presents the briliant appearance of highly polished gold and silver. This 'node of silvering glass is a 10w invontior, which is now being carried out ' a company in Lonlon. The various a e!les are blown of two sepa rate t hick nesses of glass through out, and the silver is deposited upon the two interior surfaces of the double hollow glass vessel. Tie silver is depositcd flrra a so lution of that mietal by the reducing agency of saccharine solutions; in shbort, the proce s is entirely a chemical one. The double hellow vessels are hermetically sealed, and thus the silver deposit is pre teeted rem wear and irom, atmaosplheric influenc es. The brilliant silver deposite being seen through the coloured glass, cormorunic:ates: to that substance, in a curiously illusive manner, the appearance of being entirely formed of gold ain srIlver itself, Vshen the glass is cut, the brilliancy of the s ilver is heightened; and, on the other esand, when tire glass is ground, the eftect of fros ted silver is produced. By staining, and the employment of variously coloured glas sea, the ell'ect is uniwified in a v:racty of ways; thus, with certain yellow glases, the effect of gold is praduced; with deep green and ruby gass, coloured metalic lust rev, equal in efiect to the plumage of birds are obtained. As every furor in to which L'lass can be b'own is silvered with facility the extent to which this heautiful invent ion can be carried is perfectly unlimited.
