Experiments with Guano.?1st. Upon four acres of land of medium soil, I applied Guano at tlir> mto of U7r? 11,S. to the fir-re. I first aimliod v..~ '"?v " - - * ~ I i the Guano and followed it with cultivators to mix it with the soil; I then sowed the wheat, and ploughed both the guano and the wheat iti the land. This was the first application I ever made with guano, which was in October, 1840. The wheat grew oil' beautifully and was apparent to the eye the whole winter and spring; the wheat was carefully saved and measured, and the result was 15 bushels to the acre, which w;is about live bushels more than the land would have inude without the guano. No clover was sown after this guano, and when the same lot was again in cultivation, no benefit was perceived from the previous application of guano. 2d. Five acres of land were selected in afield, upon which lime laid been applied in the summer of 1848, and cultivated in corn 1849 ; Guano was applied at the rate of 200 lb<. to the ...wl KU.L.I.n^ ! > 11,/, 1.111,1 civ ,.ri,ill-lit infill,1C ui;iu9 UIIUI>IUU"IIVU MI uiv KMiM oi.\ v? , the wheat was sown upon the surface and thoroughly raked in. The wheat was much injured by the rust, (as all the wheat was in this section of country;) it was carefully and accurately nica sured, and the result was 18 bu-hels to the acre, weighing 01 1 2 lbs. per bushel. Clover was seejed the following spring, with the addition of a bushel of plaster to the a-.-r.\ and which was equal if not superior to any 1 had ever had upon any lot. 3d. Two acres of land upon which fifty bushels of lime had been spread to each acre in the summer of 1844, and another application of fifty bushels more had been made in the summer of 1848. In the spring of the year 1849. an application of guano was applied to each acre and ploughed in. The wheat did not during the spring show any advantage over that around it which had no guano upon it, and when gotten out, it did not average a half a bushel more than | the wheat around it. The two acres were the i richest and lightest sandy loam I could find in ' the field. 4th. A piece of poor land, containing about lour acres, which never una the ;iavantage 01 lime or any oilier manure, and which was a cold ar.J close soil, was fallowed up in August, 1840, and the last of Sept. 200 lbs. of guano was ap-1 plied to each acre and seeded in wheat. The I wheat grew oil' rapidly and appeared superior ; to any I had the following summer; but unfortunately the seed which 1 irot_ from H dijiiyev ' was injured, and bygood 'judges, at. least one- j third ot it did not come up. 1 ?li? 1 not and :ould not expect a full crop; nevertheless it branched so astonishingly it made a tine crop, making ninety-six bushels of good wheat. Clo-1 ver was seeded upon this lot of land and raked : in, about 15 lbs. to the acre ; it was one of th* J best sets of clover I saw the following summer, j Bone-dust is another valuable manure, and which is not used in proportion to other manures j apart from the phosphate of lime it contains, j the oleagenous properties in it renders it a per-1 nianent manure, its effects upon crops are not in proportion to the benefit imparted to land; it! is one of the be?t manners for the grasses, applied at the rate of from 12 to 20 bushels to the acre, it renders the land much improved. J have derived Sreat and lasting benefit by its application; not so much from the increase of crops, (although tliov were considerably increased,) :is o from the great benefit imparted to the land. The great difficulty of procuring ground bones unadulterated, and the high cost of them, has eau^d them not to have been applied as liberally as I could have wished; consequently my experiments with them have not b -en as full as I could have desired. The application of bones bv different modes, is now claiming the attention of good and practical farmers. Poudrettu?made from "night soil," when properly compounded, Jorms a good manure. My experience in this manure-has been limited, vet I have applied it to corn in the hill; it< effect was marked and decided; it. was however not so apparent in the increase of the crop, as it was in its growth. I have derived great benefit from it upon vegetables and flowers, and consider it the best manure for gardens. The Pouderetle oh taiiu-d from the Lodi Manufacturing Company of New York, is decidedly tlic !>< .( I have ever used. There are other compounded manures, such as "Salts,"1 "Renovators," Ate., made by different chemists; the manipulators themselves differing in their compounds and deprecating the use of their opponent's is a sufficient guaranty that all their "nostrums" will not answer the same purpose, and added to the additional fact that they have not improved or heiietitted our lands or crops, is sufficient in warranting us in recommending other and better manures. . Barn-yard and Stable manures.?This is the most valuable and prolific source from which the Farmer is by his own clibrtsnnd economy to improve his land. This manure, tlio' not so pcrmanedt in its effects, yet applied after lime or marl, is lasting and beneficial. It is the reservoir from which the farmer is hy his own industry and management to draw his supplies for the improvement of his laud, as well as in a measure to derive his wealth; and he should husband his resources in such a manner as to have a constant eve to the accumulation of not only all tlicoff-d from his stock, but all the decaying vegetable o / 'pi i;.? matter irom nisiariu. im- u.-^ui;.-.iw prevails among many farmers in relation to the carelessness with which they attend to their barnyard and stable tnarnins; the voidings from cattlojAc evaporation of the nutritive portion ol manures, would, if saved and attend.d to, imjjwvc more land thau what little they carry out impoti them. There is nothing which a farmer can more judiciously use than plaster, in the absorption of the voiding as well as the effect of fixing the valuable properties of manures, which arc constantly escaping in the form of gases; 1 would then advise the liberal use of plaster in all the vegetable manures raised upon the farm; it is essential in all well regulated and ventilated stables and cow sheds, in preserving the health as well as the eyes of the animals, from the noxious exhalations of tfie pungent if not poisonous gases which arr constantly escaping from the manures. Plaster folk- ivii.-ivs the farmer who uses it. ten I J I V # ?# j fold. Much couM be said upon this subject, ; but fearing this Essay, already too long, may be| come tiresome, I shall conclude this sulycct by < strenuously advising a more careful and cnu] stunt eye to the. accumulation and preservation I of bran.yard and stable manures. | In conclusion, wbetlicr you have the stiff clays or sandy loams to contend with on you/ farms, and you desire to restore them to fertility,' they must have the advantage of Inn p. closet- and plusI ter, and a regular rotation of crops. You must lend all your energies to the accumulation of manures, both animal, vegetable an l mineral, ?you cannot expect your lands to yield you remunerating crops unless yon continue t" keep up its fertility by liberal applications of manure. Should your barn-yard and stables fail to afford you a sufficient supply, you should go to your marshes, woods and ditch banks, and there find : the elements for manure. We know the chief j clement of all manure being vegetable matter, ; and its production lieing necessarily slow and , laborious on exhausted soils, we should take advantage of twrv assistant in increasing and ap I 11 11 Ul ?-,l# Hoping that Essay may bo received by farmers in the spirit in which it is written, and may be the moans of elic'ting better information on the different manures, it is most respectfully submitted to their consideration. Tlic Giant's Causeway. Only imagine yourself, says a writer in the Journal of Commerce, in a little row-boat, pas; sing around ihe Northern coast of Ireland. In ! the distance, you see in to look upon an immense | castle, Hanked by double rows of cylindrical colj uins. It seems so fortresslike, this massive structure rising from the depths of the sea, that you expect to find guards and wardens, soldiery and I arms; but as you approach nearer it loses that j castellated appearance, and gradually lessens in magnitude until there remains only a huge stone wail, extending around the coast for miles. It i is composed of gigantic pillars, cut into prisms, three sided, five-sided, eight-sided?side fitting to side?variously jointed, joint corresponding to joint, innumerable irregularities conformed into such beautiful regularity, that you are struck wit 11 a wo n so ^p. rt ^ iiiiiim iK'nr ^ -a 'iiina is duo; what year marked the foundation stone; what force formed each cylinder, and joined in uniform contrast such irregular masses? The toil of many a lifetime has been spent on far meaner de.-igus, and proud wealth lias gloried in much less wonderful relics of man's invention. Passing onward and stiil onward, for tliis columnar .structure bounds a great extent of seacoast, you come upon avast gateway of stone work like the rest, but formed into a wide arch, uot (.lothic nor Norman, but unique, and perfect as peculiar. Its cnterauecis kejit by huge waves, that for centuries have been rolling higher and higher to bar the getaway that is open still, so your tiny boat rises with swelling, and you pass through, not, as you had expected, to find the sky above you still, but into the recesses of a mighty cavern, whose vaulted roof is formed of stones many cornered, and many colored. You should be ihere at sunset, as we wore, to see the dashing waters sparkling with gold, and the stones radiant with crimson light. You would j be awed into silence; for there is something fear; ful in the thought of a chamber built without I hand-; but should your feelings find vent in words, j yo ir ears would lie stunned by the deafening | sound of even \ our sweet voice, dear iiel, so liea I vy is the echo there. I h:ul Ix-eu alwavs very J anxious to see tli^ in>i?l?? of this famous cave, ; with its ocean door, and its stony wall hung with seaweed tapestry, hut I assure you I was ! not le>s eager to see the outside of it again; I , had no ambition to interfere with a solitude too ! desolate for aught save the cawing of rooks and j the twittering of swallows. The average height of the basaltic columns | constituting the < hint's Causeway is thirty toot: hut the whole neighl<orho"d i> strewn with detaehed fragments of the same species of rock, that in their picturesque confusion seem the broken pillars of some ruined temple. These columns in combination, these hoinptugous, hexagons, and octagons and triangles all joined in perfect syml .... ;c 1.?'..r measure ; IlK'll ) y in 11 JIVI1 II IVI Wt r incut*, form, when you have claimed the rocky ascent to their level summit, a tassclatcd paveI inent, where one may |iromenade in scorn of the ' tierce waves that incessantly dash against their base, as if they sought to hurl the firm rocks in: to oblivion. It is quite amusing to listen to the i wonderful harangues of the numerous barefooted urchins that follow you all the way along the shore, offering themselves for guid'-s, and their toiiirii.-s for teachers. TIu'V were all born within sight of the "auld (iiauiV dominions, and ail tin- history they ever learned i-. comprised in wiM legends about the stones and crannies the giant once ruled. From morning to evening they walk before you, behind you, and seem to list from the sMies <>n every side of you, ollering their 'Spacermens"(.fthe '<limit's Punch l?ow),' "his honor's walking stick," and various othei remarkable relics, "the very last" of which h:e 1 ' 1 * 1 i vvnniv rears back, and Ol'CI) S'llll illlll H-Ul'l i-y. v.

The little rajj-a*muffins tell you that tlieii father i> dead, and their mother is poor; and ir the grief of your heart your buy, and buy, unti you have no more money to pay, and no more hands to carry their useless pebbles; and finding new faces, and hearing new tales continually, the plot thickens so unmercifully, that you cease to believe anything, so because you have believed so much, and in self defence arc forced to turn away from the masonic pile that owns no mason ?from the old arm-chair that no cabinet maker ever planned?from the bowl where none but a giant could drink?and the organ pipes to whose identity the roaring waves lends so real in illu sion. But a sight of the Giant's Causeway, in spile of its nonsensical traditions and its fabulous legends,, is a commentary too impressive ever to be forgotten, on the power and might of its great Creator. And long years hence it will stand, firm and enduring, as it ever has stood, in its solemn awful grandeur, to annihilate the atheist's doubt, and to silence tbc sceptic's sneer. Family Government. IJV KEY. HA (.1*11 W. ALLEN. On the correct formation of character, hangs all which is dear to the human race. It is true, that the teacher and example have much to do in its formation, but tbese fall far below parental (training in this directing and moulding influ| once. Indeed, the potency for good of the teachj er, is in a great measure secured by a well susI taim-d family discipline. ju most instances, 11 may ue unaemauiy ui: fi lined that, the foundation of character for sub| sequent life, is laid under parental intlueucc, for here the elements of character are imbibed, whether good or evil. And is that government to he lightly esteemed under which character is , to receive its constituent principles, and be shaped for the future destiny' Only let this be right, and, other things being equal, all earthly governments will be right. Hence, says John Angel James, every nation has stamped a great value on the family compact, and guarded it with the most powerful sanctions. It is at the fireside, and upon the family hearth, that patriotism, and every public virtue, grows; as it is 111 disordered families that factious demagogues, *mk1 tyrannical oppressors are trained up, to be their neighbor's or their country's scourge. Jt is there that the thorn and the briar, to use the elegant simile of the prophet, or the myrtle and the fir-tree, arc reared, which are in future I time to be-the ornament and defense, or the de- J I form it v and misery, of the land. To point out some things essential to a right administration <?f t'-imily government is the objept of the tbliowing remarks: Kindness should l>c stamped on all the parent's acts in a family. lie kindly affectioned : one to another, is a divine command, peculiarly ; applicable to all parents (and to all families.) i Parents should be self-possessed. To exercise j others. Nothing should be done through ca] price, or in passion. Parents should rule well their own house, having their children in subjection with all gravity. Equanimity of temper is also essential to a j proper administration of parental government. : .Many persons suffer themselves to change in ' their feelings by the most trivial circumstances; ! sometimes calm and composed, then fretful and I passionate; sometimes holding themselves in re| straint, then giving a loose rein to their ill humor, j Lot parents remember that if they would govj eru well, they must maintain evenuess and lirmness of mind.

Xinetj'-eight miles are completed," and the cars will run in a few days to Cokesbury, within forty-eight miles of Greenville. On the rest of the road the grading is finished, except a few cuts and fills near Greenville, and the timber is laid, ready for the iron, as far as ten miles on *?| the Greenville extension. Ihe receipts tor the ' ' fan last year for freight, passage and mail carriage, amounted to ?99,116.45. This, after paying all the expenses of transportatiop, and conveying its , own iron and lumber,left a net profit.of more than $38,000, being 4 1-2 per cent, on the cost of that portion of road now completed, a great part of which lias been in operation but a few months. The net premium on the average amount of die road in operation during the year ^ would be 7 1-2 per cent. During the year there were 10,096 passengers brought up the road, and9,768 passengers and 48,432 bales of cotton carThe recent Convention of Stockholders held -v at Greenwood, Abbeville District, made arrangements for the issue of bonds amounting to $250,000, pavable in not less than ten years, and \ r^fa bearing seven per cent, interest, payable semi-. annuaiiy. This will be sufficient to complete the road, and was thought more advisable than to assess the stock 20 per cent., as the charter authorizes. The subscription of $50,000 to the . Spartanburg and Union Rail Road Company vgS was confirmed. The old serin certificates of stock will shortly be called in, and new certificate issued. The road will be finished to Belton by the 15th * October next, to Williamston by 1st January, and to Greenville by A]?ril 15th. The whole cost, when completed, will be $1,600,000. y Plaxk Road Speed.?We have the authority of the Alabama Journal for the .following : On the 4th instant, Mr. Yancey breakfasted in Montgomery, at 4 o'clock, A.

Mr. Clayton promised to put him through by daylight, and sent up some relays of his fast teams. Mr. Y. remained about .t'M three hours in Syllacogga, making the travelling ' *yg time under 12 hours. ^ This unprecedented trip was made over a Plank Road. : JapaXESB- I'Yxfkal.?A letter from an offi.-pr " .... .^.1.1 .f-rrrr. wip Ul. : IllUlJ 9' flt Byron's Bay, Wwhyc, mentions the death on board the ship, of an old man who was the captain of .1 number of Japanese, who it seems. wore on board the ship.

A court martial at Montpelier, has condemned seventeen of the insurgents of December to the w i _ T guillotine, me rans correspondent 01 me .^oildon News says, that the sentence fyis produced a sensation of profound horror. Judgment having gone by default against six of the accused, the number of heads doomed to fall in the publie place of Bedaiieux, the scene of their crimes, is eleven. The otfence for which these men Lave been condemned to death is the murder of three uymlarmes. The military justice makes a shambles of a French town to punish a crime which was the immediate consequence of the coup iCctut of December, and the lives of eleven men are to be taken in cold blood for the acts of violence which, however, atrocious, were committed in the strife of civil war. It is stated however, that in the ministry of justice there is preparing a decree of amnesty, which it is thought, will be promulgated on the fete of the 15th of August.
