From thr South Caroliuhiti. Letter from Col. Summer. rotlAliM, !>. Oct. *23, tb5S. Mcxtrr. H. J/1 Rhode* it ('<> CJkntlkmkn : A number of causes have ! preventml my giving you llio results of my ! experiments with your super, phosphate of lime before this. I am now prepared to give the results on all the crops to wbicli it Has applied, wbicli 1 could not have done at an earlier date. On the 2d of .Tamiarv, fully sir weeks ton late, I sowed '20 acres of wheat, with an application of 150 poumls Rhodes' super, phosphate and 40 pounds Peruvian guano. This wheat grew liru-lv? was luxuriant the whole season, and, al- . though much injured by the frost of the ' 27th April, when it was in head, it yielded ; about 13 bushels to the acre. My wheal, treated witli the usual ainotitit of Peruvian guano, costing the same as the super, phosphate, did not yield 6 buslul.* per ticrc, and never looked as well at any stage of its t growth. Before the frost, 1 estimated the wheat treated with super, phosphate as promising to yield from 20 to 22 bushels per acre. This was on exhausted soil, and | the experiment, taking the disasters of the season into consideration, has been sntisfac- > torv to me. At the same time, I sowed bailev and rye, giving each aero 2i>0 pound* super, piios phale and oO pounds guano. These crops were no better than if 1 hail not applied the super, phosphate, and I consider that it did i them no good. I also sowed w hite Egyptian winter oa's same date, ami made the samo application as to wheat. On this crop, the results wore highly satisfactory, foi this fk*id wa3 the 011I3- crop which escaped tlio ru t in the vicinity, anil was certainly the be*-t oats, both in grain anil straw, I ever rai>o?l. The crop was the admiration of all who ' saw it, and I regret 1 did not thresh a given number of ae.res, so that the result might be properly chronicled. I made an application of '200 pounds per acre to Indian corn. The , growth was admirable, until the intense drought cut it oil", just as it was shooting. Aflcr intense heat, and an absencc of rain for a long time, the clouds promised an abundant season, and my overseer injudiciously plowed the corn. It rained only a slight shower, and this plowing cut oil* the corn ful 1 v one-fourth. It. Imwoicr. ha^ - _ ' .1 made a fair yield, and the increased crop of peas will pay me lor the super, phosphate applied. It had a remarkable effect on the i peas, as they grew luxuriantly, even during j the drought, and have boruo a heavy crop. : On cotton, I applied it with an eye to its relative cost, with Peruvian guano. The drought so cut off this crop that it has not : had a fair chance. The cotton, to which the supper phosphate was applied, remained greener, and is now greener than that man- : ured with guano. It bid fair, previous to the drought, to make a superb crop. It is superior, for cotton, to the best compost j manure, as it docs nut cause it to drop its j torms so niucb as the compost docs. I find that on cow-penned lands, and that manured with compost manure, the crop lias suffered j most. J have remarked, that not a single stalk was rusted in llie field to winch the super, phosphate was applied. This is worthy of note, and, if it is a preventive, will enhance its value. On Loans, peas, am] the enlire pulse family, its effects have been all I could de- i sire. In spile of drought, and against difiicul- ' lies which with the application of Peruvian gnano, would have ensured the destruction of ilia crop, by the application of the super, phosphate at the rato of 250 pounds per acre, I have a fine field of Ruta IJagu t?jr- 1 nips. Aimougn Hie summer drought, in j which they were planted, with the exception of a few slight shower?, still continues, they ! arc growing finely, and bid fair to make an ! average yield. Iliad a slight season to bring them up, since which time it has rained sufficient tj enable us to plough but ! once. Last year, with similar seasons, and j with Peruvian guano as the fertilizer, I did j not save a single plant on six acres ! planted. I now have ten acres of fine tur- , nips, all altributatble to the use of the super, phosphate. On Irieh potatoes, the result has been 1 satisfactory. I have not yet examined the ' sweet potatoes, to which I applied it, but, from the appearance of the vines, I think ' h ctjuiiiijr cikuuuw lur ill is CTOD. My experiments have not been on u small | scale, as you are aware. I used about ten ! ton?, but the precarious season anil inttnse ' drou el it liave, 110 doubt, seriously impaired its effects on many crops. Iam more and more convinced of the ! value of tho phospbatio manure over the i highly, stimulating guanos. Their effects oil the pen crop, which is destined tobo^the i gr.eat fertilij^r of the Sooth, would enable j planters to bring any of their land into good ' heart, "and in time to make it extremely fer- | tile Ipr<tftr*tthocleK' with his present analy j '*flyto tNtf mtfhure I ever tried.

The London l>aily News describes a now weapon of war, which, it fancies, will enable England to defend her coasts effectively .' gainst any invasion. Alter a hast)* sketch of modern improvements, in various kinds of arms, it says : Seeing that wo cannot rifle our cannon, | because of the mass of metal we have to j deal w itli, Sir (/Italics Shaw?the author of the invention which we now proceed to de- i scribe--purposes to divide our cannon itself as well as the shot. lie replaces the li<id pice, cannon or howitzer, hy a row of title barrels, twenty-five in number. These are accurately placed on the same level, each barrel diverging slightly from the central one, so that the volley of ritle bullets discharged by the bat re la will cotera width of about five yard"* at a distance nf i ? v* hundred yards. Sir Charles Shaw's rifle battery i> indeed a reproduction of Fieachi's infernal machine, placed on wheels, ami made far lighter and far more manageable than a light brass nine-pounder gun. This implement may, therefore, be regarded as a rilled cannon, divided into twenty live portions as destiactive as ra]?*: or canister shot at 500 yards, or shrapneli shell at 800 yards, with its deadly aim extended as far as the rifle van roach. ( one? ive a batterv of hoi.-eaitillery with lour ol Sir (J. Shaw's inl- nial machines substituted tor their guns. What battery of Held aitillerv, wlial troop of horse, what battalion of infantry could withstand their deadly shower of Minie balls ! The camion or howitz- r requires nine men at least to serve it. audit must I?e drained l>v four or six horses; tin; rilhj battery reiptircs but two men to lo.it! it, and one to lire. IL ? ?'i be liicd by one |?ull ofthe tiiggei',o'' in sections of twelve barrel* at a time,as may bis expedien'. The best method ?.t* conceiving the |<ower of this new weapon is to regard i! as the effective filing power of a company ot'soldicis standing two deep. When a company of. men,fmnicd tvvodi'f-p, arc tiring, th?i tail men are in front, tlx.* small in the rear, both are in heavy marching order, encumbered with knapsack*, hav repacks, and all ports of gear. The little rear men have to level their rilles between t lie front ranks ; in the iiii<l?t of pushing and jostling how can a steady aim In* attained i Now if we suppose one' company tiling at a company or regiment ' of infantry, at a range of some nine or ten hundred yards, we need no military statis tics of the average value of shots, to convince us that ten par cent., of ellectivu shots is lii>t l ate fu ittir for a crack i*etrinn nt. The rifle baitoi v isootial in cffect to'Jo rifles deliberately aimed, not from a man's shoulder but from a fixed rest. It is n<? exaggeration, therefore, to regard one riflo liattcrv, ' manned by three rifler.ien, as a fair <<piiva- i lent for a company of soldiers firing from I 1110 ranks. It seems to lis that Sir Charles Shaw has done for the rifio what the first Napoleon ! did fur his artillery. 1I-j made his livid artillery tell, by massing it and concentrating its effects. Sir Charles Shaw masses and concentrates tliu lille, making it as deadly in its effects, at a range of 1,100 yards, and far more certain of aim, than a shower of grape shot at 500 yards. These rifle batteries can be applied to boat*, to the poop of a vessel of war, or its yards. Three or four men can thus bo made e<pial in power to a comi\on r? nf ???.ictnno |'u?i * v?l aillll IliVOt Economical. Hints.? 1 Have .1 work- : bench and a few tools in vonr woodshed, or in a little room at one end of your barn. There are many small jobs in the course ofa year, j which any man of common ingenuity can do as well as a professed cat pouter. And there are many rainy days and ''odd spells" when these jobs can bo done. And how much runnings to the village and waiting and patience this would save ' 2. Have a place for everything and everything its place. Those tools?why should they be lying around, the auger here, and the jack-plane there, and the saw yonder, and the ad/.e and sciew driver nowhere ? i l)un't put away a shovel, hoe, spade or any ; implement without cleaning it. This may seem needless care, but in the long i nn it is saving of time and money. Rust corrodes and weakens I he best made tools. There are men wl o leave their plows standing in the furrow, or laying by tho side of the 1 fence from one year to another. And the ! "brand-new" scythe is often left dangling from the crotch of an'apple tree month after ; month.

ITAM-IIH in "Naturals'* ?>n a Tour. A correspondent of the New Orleans Pieiiyuiio narrates tlio following incident of a ' journey of Professors A?jasr?iz, Felton ami Dr. llolmes "tho Autocrat to tiie White ' Mountains : I "The party was so numerous as to rei|iihc a special eonvevanco for their transportation from Conway t<? tin? Crawford House.; This conveyance was a largo country wagon, drawn by a team of tiny tircen Mountain horses and driven by a sturdy son ol , tlm Granite Stale. The <.lay was one of the finest of llic sea- ' son, and admiral)!y adapted fur such an e.\- | cnrsion, and every one, after Iiis speciality! seeins to take the keenest delight in its incidents. Occasionally, the geologist would spy out some curious information or rctnaikal?le specimen of rock, and would insist on ! the illivcr stopping to allow him to alight : and investigate it. This would often consume much time, and it im.ro than once j occurred that the impatient Jehu was obliged to remind the deeply ab-oilied p-irtv that the day was wasting, and that they had a long road b"furo therri. In the height of his impatience, the depth of his despair, and the extremity of his perplexity, he turned to his companion on the i liox, lor L'lot. I ., 1 sliouM remark, lia<l ta- I ken no part in the soiciitiflu researches of his brethren. * I "What 011 nrlli's the matter wi:li then; men, Sjnirc {" somewhat petulantly demanded tlio bollurcd Jehu. "What are they ahont, stopping the team ami jump- i ing out every time I hey come across a loose Miiiid or a higdandaliuti, or thistle in the ' : mail ' Who are lliev, any how, "Sq lire," lie exclaimed in an agoti\ of mingled curi- . . ositv and impatience. "Oh," rpii.tly rcmaiked onr abtoibed 'Srceian, "they are naturalist.-.'' A few days after this the same team was engaged f<>r this indeiilical trip by a parly >l Bostonians. As they rattled along tin; . turnpike through the Notch, one of them said l?i the driver, who was deli?dito<llv rn- . O - , I initiating on the contrast between his j?re>? nt orderly company and the troublesome party ho had been so perplexed with a day j or two before ? "Good deal of travel along here this Sum- : tner ? Eh, driver ?" "Wal, considerable, this week or so,'' was the reply. "I suppose you have about as much as you can do, now a days, carrying the pcu pie to the mountains, don't you ?" continued the tourUt. ! "1'ietty nigh,*' replied our Jehu of the wagon. "I had a <jiieer party along the i other day?the last before you. I never see such a set of fellows !" "What are they like "Like ? Like loonatics, more'u anything 1 else I know on ! I thought I should never git up to Crawford's. Every once in a while they'd slop the team, ami jump out ami pick up a stone, or pull up a weed, and j then one of 'tin would preach along ser- | inon, and when he'd done, all the rest would chatter over it ; and it was e'en a most as i . much as I could do lo git 'em into the wa- ; gon agin, and as it w;if, it was daylight down before we got ter Crawford's." "But who were these people?" inquired the whole company of listeners, in a breath, i ' Didn't you find out!"
