Nutritive Properties of Sugar.
The nulrive properties of sugar are much
underrated in this country. As an aliment

sugar produces the greatest quantity of
nourishment in a given quantv of matter
of any substance in nature. Horses end.-—,

cane tops become sleek and in a fine condi
tion. Tho negroes drink freely of the
juice, and become fat and healthy. Sir
George Staunton observes, that many of
the slaves and idle persons in China hide
themselves among the canes and live en
tirely on them for a time. In that king
dom the emperor compels his body-guard to
eat a certain quantity of sugar every day
that they may become fat and look portly.
Sugar and rice constitute the common food
of the people, and every kind of domestic
animal is fed on sugar. Plague, malig

unknown in the countries where sugar is
abundantly eaten as food.

English Agriculture.
The good land of England is much
more productive than that of America—
and this superiority is probably derived, not
so much from greater original strength of
soil as from more skillful agriculture—de
fending mainly on two great facts, faithful
tillage and faithful manuring.
Tnc English farmer docs not believe that
there is any thing necessarily, inherent in
the nature of good soil, which makes it
productive, independently of nutricious
matter and foreign aliment returned to it
by the cultivator, as a compensation for the
crops it has yielded. Hence his first, his
principal care, is to collect and form ma
nure from every possible source.
Nothing is more common when one is
travelling in England, than to sec in .the
roads adjacent tnc fields, heaps of compost
consisting of turf, tops of vegetables, os
turnips, carrots, the stubble from the wheat
fields, which is cut by a second reaping af
ter the crops have been removed; dead
animals, the offals of born yards and sta
bles, and in short, every thing which is ca
pable of being converted by putrefaction
into vegetable monld.
It is therefore because this business of
manuring is so perfectly understood, and so
diligently practiced in England, more than
from any other cause, that their lands arc
so much richer than ours. Indeed, is it
any thing more than an imitation of the
economy of nature 1—Projctsor Sullivan's

It has been a custom in our family, time
out of mind, not to use any water in work
ing butter, under the impression that the
latter would be injured liy such con'act,
and disposed to become rancid. Instead
therefore, of washing out with a wooden
h'.del. The following extract from the but
ter milk, it is carefully worked out, the ac
count of the Holstem dairy system, will ex
plain the whole affair.
“The churning being completed, the
butter is token off by means of n large
wooden lade!, and carried in a tub directly
to the buttercellar, where, in a large trough
very smoothly polished off inside and pro
vided with a plug hole at the lower extre
mity, the butter is worked, and salted with
the purest salt; then moulded with a woo
den ladcl into a mass at the upper end of
the trough, and left for some hours to drain.
In the evening it is thoroughly beat, or ra
ther slapped.
44 The butter in Holstein is seldom if ever
washed, as water is believed not only to
rob it of its richness and flavor, but as be
ing itself susceptible of putrefaction, and
inimical to the preservation of the butter.”

A Murderous Invention.
A new Implement of terrible efficacy has
just been devised in England by Professor
Brunson. It consists of a liquid similar to
alchobo! in which the oxigen is replaced by
arsenic. It ignites the moment it is expos
ed to the air. If any vessel filled with it,
like a glass or iron globe, should bo thrown
upon tnc deck or into the ports of a ship,
it would ignite the moment the vessel struck
any hard substance, and the inflammable
liquid instantly would be in a blaze. The
atmosphere at once becomes filled with
clouds of white arsenic, by which a deadly
poison is evolved and inhaled. Being hea
vier than, and insoluble in water, it could
not be extinguished, nnd of course, it be
comes fatal to all within its influence. A
dreadful implement m the art of war.
I jlOUR months after date application will be made

PROSPECTUS.
The originators of this work believe that the fry
for literary exertion and influence, in our country, u
everyday growing wider and wider; and they are
willing to occupy at least a portion of the ground,
which seems to invite labourers. The chief object
which they have in view, is to aid in vindicating for
tho Southern States that literary position which, it
is believed they are qualified to assume. They de
sign also, through this channel, to point out the re.
sources and defend the interests of the South, to re
present with truth the character and condition of the
people, and to furnish increased occasion for intellec
tual effort. With these views, they have sought to
enlist in the undertaking the best talent of the whole
South; and they feel, that they can appeal with some
ilr fellow-citizens tor support and
confidence to
cooperation.
work will bo Southern—it will be the organ
of a section: but in no narrow spirit of hostility to
any portion of onr country. Jnstico and candour
towards all will govern its course; and it will stead
ily pursue the sacred aims of Truth.
There is need, especially in this day of cheap lit
erature, tor stern arid discriminating criticism. Man
liness and originality of thought—ns well as sound
morals—are in danger of being crushed under the
mass of trashy or corrupt publications, both foreign
and doinenstic, with which the press teems. They
call loudly for some daring and independent censor,
who will lay on the lash of severe but just criticise!,
“without fear or fevor,” and who will guard the in
terests of literature against those influences of the
publishing houses of tho conntry which, through
magazine and newspaper puffing, confer so manv
false reputations on worthless volumes, and corrupt
the very sources of a well regulated and wholesome
public opinion. We therefore avow at the outset,
that we intend to deal with these authors, publisher.
and books, with a severity only limited by our abili
ties, and a proper regard for the courtesies due to u
We know and feel that our literature is young,
and hitherto but too imitative. Nevertheless that
very youth has its advantages, and we shall endeavor
to give diem full play, by encouraging fresh and vig
orous exhibitions of the mind of our own country.
That this is pre-eminently the land of origins!
thought, our Patent Office, our workshops, ourfickb
and our rivers abundantly illustrate. In the Fine
Arte, American genius has produced works of which

rivaling old Europe in every department of inven
