VVlint has cau sed this rupture no one Its*, a* yet, ascertained.— Nought was heard of the ‘move* of this mast ol matter, save, at one of the ueighbnrs auys. In- heard the sound of a 'rushing mighty wind.* Tin- first intimation we had of any thing uncommon having taken place was, thni tha Ronduut creek be low waa, on the following morning, completely dry. On our nrrival at the place we found that the < arili had broken loose about thirty feet from tho stage road leading from Kindlon to YVoratboro’, running parallel with tlm road for about a hundred and twenty yards, forming a chasm at the point where it started of shout one hundred feet perpendicular; the whole hotly containing about sixty acres of land. '•In its passage it crossed the Rondout stream, lit er lly clearing the bed of all obstructions, uml de positing its contents to tho height of about fifteen feet in the bed of the stream for ubout one hundred and sixty yards, forming u dam at otto dash across the whole stream impervious as masonry could mako il.

This it continued to do for the distance of about two miles, to a place call- ed Hixuo’sdam ; whore, after finding ifs level, it recoiled, and, with the help of human hands and its own powers, it forced its passage through the ad joining lands, to hud its own channel below. •‘While writing this I ntn informed by one of our oldest inhabitants that a similar occurrence look place about sixty five yearsitgo." Hard as Ikon.—Wo Intvc already noticed tin- method discovered in England to render wood ns hard as alone or Iron tor railroads, which, if found to answer the purpose, will be of conceivable ben efit in districts of countries w here wood is plenti ful and iron is scarce. iron rails cost 87000 per mile, when wood under lliix process will onlv cost $400. The wood hus been used, and the pr.-ces. uf preparation is a* follow!,; ami wo hope our country renders will attend to it: "After ins pie cos art fitted by the carpenter and joiner lor their places, they are introduced into an immense iron cylinder, which is ilieu exhausted by an air pump. A solution ol the sulphate ol iron is then injected, which immediately enters into the exhausted pure* of the wood. The wood is then withdrawn, and placed again in a similar vacuum, in a solution ol mtirinie of lime, which coming into contact with sulphate of iron within the wood, decomposes it, and forms an insoluble sulphate of imegypsum. within the wood ; and the muriate of iron, the oth- er new compound, goes nbuui its business. So the wood becomes thoroughly inpregnated with stone as hard as a rock, and yet il is as tough as it was before. Broom Corn—Bones—Whip Handles, &c.— The Ohio Cultivator gives us an account of three brothers, named Eaton, w ho have engaged in the production of broom corn, and tbe manufacture of brooms, on a scale that will astonish many per sons whose attention Itns been directed to the pro duction of cotton exclusively. One of the brothers resides near Columbus, Ohio, and is, this year, en gaged in planting between five and six hundred acres of the rich land of the Scioto Valley in broom corn. Another brother resides at Circleville. twenty-five miles farther down the Sc oto Valley, and ia pinn ing four or five hundred acres—mming together about one thousand acres ! ! Besides lid- they have numerous contracts with small farmers in the surrounding country for ai much os they enn raise. All is, when gathered and properly prepared, sent over the Atlantic to London, where the third brother resides, and carries on a very ex tensive tnanufac'ory of brooms. The demand for these brooms in Euglund.i*said to be unlimited, and the prospect is that these three brothers, by their enterprise, eneigy und industry, will toon make handsome fortunes—larger, perhaps, titan will soon be made by planting cotton and selling at present prices. We add hereunto an article from a Cincinnati paper, for the purpose of giving our readers an idea of some of some of the thousand und one ways there aroiu this world of making, not only a living, but a fortune too. besides planting cotton, or broom corn, or even ducking and shipping sausage skins t and of showing how other peoplo thrive by turning to account such things as we throw away as worth- less.—South.

Something YVorth Knowing.—Tho following are very good receipts fur Lemonade and Ginger Beer Powders, and, to persons who abstain from the ordinary fermented and alcoholic beverages, will lie found very convenient and acceptable, par ticularly during the ensuing season. Lemonade Powders.—Pound and mix together half a pound ofloaf sngur, one ounce of carbonate or soda, and tltree or four drops of the oil of lemon; divide the mixture into sixteen portions, and dis solve one In a glavsof water.

In the case of the man who died last, il was found that during lhe(a«t moments of hit life lie had taken phosphur- ated oil. On examination of the stock of phos phorous in the apothecaries' shop from whence it had been obtained, it was found to contain about a half per cent of arsenic The phosphorus used in the preparation of phos- phureted oil ought, therefore, in future to he tested for arsenic.—JV.

In a district where tho soil ia too clayey, our endeavor ought to be 'o makaf il acquire to a certain extent the qualities of light soils. Theory indicates the means tu b* followed to effect sucli a change ; it suffices to introduce sand into soils that are too sandy. But these rvu* imrnendatinns of science, which, indeed, the com- inon sense of mankind hadulready pointed out, are iuldotn realized in practice, and only appear fen. 'ib'u to those who are entirely unacquainted with rural economy. The digging up and transport of the various kinds ol soil, according to the neceaifc nos ol the caso, are very costly operations, and I can quote a particular instance in illustration of the fact. My land at Hechelhronn is generally strung; "Xperirnents made in the garden on a small scule showed that an addition of *an-J improved it con- idcrabiy. In the middle of the furm there ia a manufactory which accumulates such a quality of sand tliut it becomes troublesome ; nevertheless, I mn satisfied that the improvement by ineansofsaud would be loo costly, and that, all tilings taken into account, it would be better policy to buy new lands with the capital which would bo required to im prove those I already possess in the muiniot- wliich lias been indicated. I should have m> difficulty in citing numerous instances where improvements by mingling different kinds of tuil were ruinous ill the end to those woo underfoot them. A piece of sandy soil, for example, purchased at a very low price, niter having been suitably im proved by rnenns ofeiny, cost its proprietor much more limn the price of the host laud in the cnunlrv. Great caution is therefore neressnry in uudeitakii g any improvement oftlie soil in this direction ; in changing suddenly the nature of the soil. Improve ment ought to take place gradually and hy good husbandry, the necessary tendonev of which is to improve the soil. Upon stiff clayey land-w-e put dressings und manures which tend Io divide it, t> lessen it. cohesion, such as todies, turf, long manure. B >l thelliUshniidinan hits tint always smtahlts nulerinl nt his command,and io this case, which is perhaps the tis-.ni 1 one. he must endeavor by se lecting his crops judiciously, crops which shult agree beat with stiff soiis, and at the same time t the demands of his market, to make most of tiia land. Io a word, the true husbandman ought to know tlie qualities und defects of the land which cultivates, and to he guided in his operations by ihi-sc ; and in fuel, it is only witii such knowledge that he can knutv the runt he can afford to pay, and estimate the amount of capital which i.a can reasonably employ in carrying on the operations of liia furm. In an argillaceous or clayey soil, it would be ab surd to persist in attempting to grow crops that re quire an open soil. Clayey lands generally an- wers well for meadows, und autumn ploughing is always highly advantageous to them by reason of the disintegrating effects of the ensuing winter frosts.—Boussivgaull. Choctaw Couttrimirs.—Privileges of the Squaws- —Courtship is invuriublv begun by the lumule. if she fancies a young mutt, she makes what is tech nically called the first banter. This is done by lyly squeezing the bund, or gently touching his foot at the camp fire.

T*'j* even in this rude shape, does the woman play llitr Coquette ! The young squaw who screams loudest and shows the most resentment at these nntvar- rantnhle liberties of an ardent loyer, is set down as the Diana of the tribe. G viug the first banter seems to bo reserved by the women as a special prerogative, und they sel dom allow it to be infringed with impunity—never in the presenco of a third person. This extends oven to their dunces, for the squaw always selects her partner, and sends the master uf the ceremonies after him, and he is not permitted to refuse. It is at these dunces that elopements of married women witli young wurriorsgeuerally lake place. The woinutl slips out uf tho dance at a mo. men*, when tlie confusion is greatest, and repairs tu a point agreed upon, where she is soon followed by nur lover. They usually remain in the woods three or four days, and when they return live as man and wife, without being molested. Hence elopcinentv are common.

The hoy of lour yeurs, observing Ibis, run und shut the door, und holding down the latch, called out to the rest for aa. sistance, who forthwith came and propped the door fust with a spade, and shot out the robber.

Sir i—At a meeting of the Foreign and Do mestic Purchasers of Coilon in the city of Savan nah, held litis duy, to lake into consideration the great and increasing inqury lo ths business of the Port end llte general interest* of tbe Stale, by the prevailing custom of packing Co too in ROUND BALES, it wits uttan-tnously Resolved, TIuii llte preponderance of Round Bales umong the receipts of Colton ut Suvnnnah, is a serious evil, prejudicial tu the interes,* uf the Grower and embarrassing lo the Commerce oftlie Port; and until Square Pmtkngos prevuilus in Olli er places, lltt: Plumers of Georgia n-ost of necessi ty look for ditnitiisiied prices for their products in till markets to which they find their way in so in convenient a shape. And it was deemed due In the Savannah Chain ber of Con .nerce, to pluce tho result of this meet, ing uefore it, in order that, if approved, it might he disseminated under the sunctiou of the Associa. lion, accompanied hy such suggestions at that ho dy might think expedient to add t and in no doing, we are directed lo stale the accumulated ’iiiconveu* leiicina which have induced this meeting (o appeal lo the Planters tu ,.-..outage the preparation uf Round Bales, aim those are— 1st. 'Phe increased expense of transportation by Rail Ruuds and other means. 2d. Tlte indifferent order in which such packa ge* roach the sen-board. 3d. Thei* additional liability to damage. 4lh. Tlte uddilionnl rate of fieight charged ir. Conveying Round Buies lo the few Foreign Mar kets where they ure tolere-el. 5th. 'I he cxtui-ive it jury inevitably accruing to tlte Buies while being "screwed” on shipboard. Sill. Tlte much grealct loss in weight upon Round Balo8than upon Square, and 7th. The entire unfitness of Round Packages for llte Continental Markels. Il is presumed by this meeting, that the acumen of the people of Gcnigia. will at onco lead iliein lo perceive, that under Ihe increasing cot-petition of growth,thev cannot, in preparing their crups for the rivalry of trade, intelligently abhere lo a form of package which has been abandoned in evory Stale in the Union, except their own. Florida with wealth und opportunities far inferior to those of Georgia, has entirely adopted the Square Pack, age for Iter crop, and Carolina has so neurly ceas ed to put up Round Bales, that i* presumed four- fifths oftlie few seen in her maikel ore derived from litis Stale. Those interested will no doubt bear in mind that the Cotton oftlie United Stales has already lo con- lend with the products of India and other quarter*, and to secure to our growth the advantages it nat urally possesses, artificial aids should not be want- ing. Planters who see Round Bales only in the Gin House, or country marke . before they have unde, gone wear and tear, can have littlo idea of their condition upon reaching the shipping port, and still less when the bales have been driven by machinery into a narrow space tin ship-board, from which they have to be forced again by hooks and tackles at the port of destination. A ship from Georgia, is easily ret ognized in Liverpool, by the muss of loose and soiled Cotlon accumulated in her hold at the termination of Iter discharge, involving a loss to Planters, not the less operative because unseen, as,in originating shipments of Ruuud Bales, the purchaser mast necessarily provide for such waste by paying so much the less for the Cotlon. To France, the Mediterranean, and the North of Europe, Round Bales cannot bo shipped, even a‘ a lair difll-rence in price, as they would be un> saleable, and the scaruity^orSquar B ales tins driv- eu from Georgia to her more sagacious neighbour*, a lucrative and steadily increasing trade ; the ex ports to France and the Continent from Charleston since the commencement of this season, Imvi- £ been Ft ie times told those of this port lo tltoi-e quarters. Again in the British ports, the dema>-d for Cotton, forexporlis exclusively supplied from Square Bales, and to the majority uf ti e oiders now received from Liverpool the condition of "Square Buies” is is annexed. Round Bales being saleuhle with dif. ficulty in Great Britain ns well us in tliu Northern markets of llte United Stater. It may not be generally known, that with all the advantages Georgia po**esses in her safe liars and deep harbours, her ports urn aouuhl unwillingly, aiikc by American and Foreign ships, because of the sacrifice of time necessarily caused by (he ■crewing of Round Bales, and the serious deficien cy in the freight-list.weight of auch a cargo. A ship of 2,000 bales would he loaded with square packages in twelve days, whilst with bales as they ordinarily reach ou, - nirket, at least three weeks would bo uccopie i„ jmpletiug her lading. YVe nre uwure it muy be urged that in the pres ent depreciated condition of the staple, any addi tional investment of capital in its cultivation or preparation is impolitic ; but lo tnis, we would re. ply that the very necessities of the planting inter eat furnish llte strongest argument for tlte change now recommended, as the constant demund for Square Bales, even in the dullest periods of the market, must Imve shewn Blunter* how lurge ■ preference such packages have with the Buya',ar.d how anon the cost of it Cotton Press would bo more than defrayed by the additional price secured lur the crops. In conclusion, llte Cotton Buyer* of Savannah would hope the facts adduced, will satisfy the Plan ters of Georgia, that llte common interest* of both will bp permanently advanced by abandoning a mode of pulling up their crop*, which, excusable in the earlier history of our agriculture, becomes an anomaly when the succcs ful application of me chanical power to tho departments of labor haa been eo fully confirmed by patient, practical expe riment.
