The Store Jionso, Dwi'lliiqt-hottae-and L01, wit' little suculccncr.. From the Mobile Commercial Register. Mr. Editor— Some years ago, say four or five, 1 read in the Washington City, nnd some other public Gazettes, an account of tho singu larly valuable properties of a Grass, found in the .South West, nnd principally through the prcxinccs of South America, called by the Span iards the ll Guma Grass." I think some timo ago a communication appeared in your Regis ter 01: tlte subject of this Grass, or an extract from tlte communication of some Spanish gen tleman. On reading in tho Washington City papers, however, a communication from a dis tinguished citizen of Maryland to tho Agricul tural Society, I determined to procure, impossi ble, the seed of it, and to ascertain whether or not it would be fount! to exhibit in Alabama, and its climate and soil, the same valuable qual ities. From the communication before mentioned, a Doctor Hardeman, of Missouri, was stated us he gentleman to whom the country was in debted for bringing into notico and usefulness, this valuable vegetable acquisition. Tho Doc tor was not unknown to me ns one of theso few minds who can blend together a fair and manly pursuit after tho good things of this life, witii that happy degree of philanthropy which can not be satisfied without adding something to the general stock of human comfort and happiness —and tho omipodo of those who can wrap themselves up in the slazy web of self, Rnd contemplate evory thing tin ough that (».o them) delightful medium. 1 learned that his patri otism was equalled by his liberality and I wrote to him my desire to give to this section of the Union the advantages, if possible, attributed to this valuable plant. On the receipt of my lei- tef, he immediately forwarded me, by mail, the remaining few seeds lie ha I left, and which 011 receiving, I quickly planted, and I now view it us a remaining duty to the public, to put them in possession of the result, which fixes in mv opinion the character of this plant, to this sec tion of the Union us almost invaluable.' To the citizens of your town nnd vicinity, I am as sured its vnluo can hardly be calculated. On rcceivicg the seed, say in March, early, I planted them in a small bed, by drilling, pla cing the soed about six incites apart. They caiue up a few days, and appeared in the form of young Oats. On getting about six inches high, I took them up after a rain, nnd sot them, agrccahle to the Doctor’s directions, in rows, two feet apart, and eighteen inches from plant to plant, in sandy pine land slightly manured. Washington City papers two or tlirea year* back, it will be seen that a distinguished Far-, nice and Iron Master slates, in a coimnuiiica*r lion on the subject of this grass, he found, op trial, such were its nutritive qualities that his mules performed their work wi lt, with plenty of this grass and salt, rendorifig tho addition of corn unnecessary, I discover that it conies to maturity one year sooner in this section of the Union titan in Maryland or Missouri, Tito second year I found a few seed stalks, and the third, say last year; J gathered t ho seed, a part ol which I send you for distribution amongst some of your enterprising citizens who will not forget to “go and do likewise.” In the com munication before reforted to, it will be found tin: e limatioo was, that “one acre was fully competent to the support of twenty head of cat tle during the summer” That it would be ud- mirabiu for iho production of milk or butler, there cannot remain a doubt, nnd 11 little atten tion to its cultivation would preclude the neces sity of purchasing northern hay, is as plain as that it would add to tlte Curolbrt and general prosperity of tho while community,* Amongst many citizens of tlte South American republics and 10 the West Indies, Guinea grass is culti- vatod; but gama [she-deer or due] grass is cer tainly far superior in value. Tim duration of the roots I hnvo not learned—mine are putting out most vigorously this fourth year—a singu larly valuable properly, different from inost.o- ther grasses, is, that when the seed is ripening on the end of tho seed stalks, six to eight feet high, the mass of leaves appears not to under* go any change, and it may be cut immediately after tho seed is all gathered, say by the middle of June. The seed is formed, milking a joint ed appearance at the end of the seed stalk, ri pening and filling off one seed at a time. They must be watched add gathered daily, as differ ent birds appear to watch for them. Should the cultivation and possession of this plant prove a source of additional wealth, and add to tho welfare of tho citizens of your vicini ty, I shall congratulate myselt for my good for tune in being instrumental in producing so desi rable a circumstance. I shall forward an addi tional parcel of seed this summer.

Old Mrs. — ■ , who was celebrated for the num ber of her domestic, fowls, could not bargain with the Captain for any of his “assorted car go;” at length he agreed to give a silver dollar for a shot among the poultry, and agieed to shoot a gun without a flint—this was accepted by die old lady, provided she loaded the gun, which she stipulated to do fairly. Capt. Eob- stay, who was up to a thing or two, went on board took down Old Blue Trigger, (just al tered to the percussion principle) a large silver sighted trumpet muzzled gun, imported beforo the revolution, to slmot swans 011 the Potomac, put in six fingets clear of the wads, then rut off tho ramrod level with tho muzzle, and returned on shure, reinforced by his mate and ronk.— TI10 old lady, after trying the ramrod, very de liberately took off n small thimble, which sho used ns a charger, and having loaded with a [nimble full of powder nnd an equal quantity of shot, delivered the gun to Cup'. U"h*iny t who thea placed six fence-rails iu two rows, at 1 foot distance, mid baiting with com hriweeu them, so soon ns the poultry mounted the rails .■nd began to feed, with their heads between the rows, Bobstny took a position so as to en filade the whole defile—slap, bang, went Old Blue Trigger, with n most horrid explosion.'

Curious method of splitting Rocks.—In tho granite quaries near Seriiignp.mim, tho most enormous blocks are separated from the solid mck by the following neat and simple process. Tire workman having found a portion of the lock sufficiently extensivo, and situated near the edge of tho part already quarried, lays bare die upper surface,and makes 00 it aline in tho direction of tho iattfuded separation, along which a groove is cut with a chisel, about 4 couplo of inches in depth. Above this groove • narrow lino of fire is then kindled, and main tained till the rock below is thoroughly heated, immediately upon n hich u line of men and wo men, each provided with u pot full of cold wa ter, suddenly sweep off the ashes, arid pour tho water into tho heated groove, when tho rock at iiueo splits with a clean fracture. Square blocks of six feet in the side, and upwards of eighty feet in longth, are sometimes dotached by tliis method. Such a block would weigh nearly 500,00(7 pounds.
