FARMERS’ COLUMN. [From the Mobile Daily Tribune.] On Deep Plowing. The first step in a good system of ag ficulture will be (o place the plantation in a state to receive improvement, and this is said lo consist in deep plowing.— Let us ascertain if this be so. Those who advocate shallow plowing, say that all plants receive their nourishment from the surface or within six inches of it, and that the earth below that is principally used as the medium in which the tap and other deep roots are made to sustain and hold up the stalk. That the food of the plant is through the combined agency of air, water and manure, and these are most active within that dis tance. That all excrcmentilious deposits and vegetable decompositions, with guano and the sulphates are lighter than clay and the earths and their tendency is not to sink but to rise to the surface by the action of the plow and the hoe; and all these are obtained by the order and con dition of the pulverization of that amount of depth. That where the surface is coin pleteiy turned under by the plow and the subsoil made to lay over it, that it covers futility with n "caput mortiium,” and places it less acceptable to the air, and moderate shower, and will beinjuri. ous to the soil, unless combined with manuring. That any grain may germi nate at six inches under the ground, but will push out its system of roots at about the same distance beloiy the surface that seed planted only three inches. This shows that its food is only to be found near the surface and within the easy penetration of the air. This is very manifest in seeing that the great mass of fine roots that make the' ear of corn ami the boll of cotton, are barely under tlio surface, l’erhnps nine tenths of our planters practice under this belief, and many fear injury from the substratum covering all the vegetable matter of the surface. Admitting this to be correct, and it is certainly entitled to much weight, mny not the objection be remov ed by the subsoil plow following in the furrow made by the turn-over plow.— You get great dep'h of loose earth, and leave the surface soil where it was. The advocates of deep plowing say that the depth of the soil gives the same advantage from a light shower, and sinks better the greater rains that might make too much water immediately in contact with the roots, and preserves the land better from washing, and the air has a larger sourco of moisturo to abstract from. It may bo uncertain whether the pulverized soil draws its moisture from the atmosphere or the atmosphero draws it from the soil. It is very certain that the plant gets it, and the source whcnco lias not been made the subject of inquiry. Corn is often seen nipped by frost to the very furrow plowed and no farther, and this from the moisture at the plant whether it came up or down to it. It would require a very hard rain of two hours and more to make an inch of per pendicular water, ami this would find amplo room percolated through and in termixed with the earth within the space of ono foot’s depth. With the ordinary plowing of four inches it would soon saturate that deptli and have to run oft' perhaps two-thirds of it with all the mis chief of removal of vegetable surface, and perhaps making wasteful marshes or gul lies in the field. Probably the highest value of deep plowing is in this particu lar more than in the greater deptli given for the roots to search for nourishment. I think the great class of plants get their supplies from within six inches of the surface, and get little if any below that. If this latter practice be proper and the reason for it what is above supposed, it gives to the small plows a preference overa large four mule plow which seeks to got its depth at a single furrow. 1 should try with a mould board plow drawn by ono or two mules, according to tlio hardness of the ground, and turn over the soil completely ; a bull tongue, or five inch shovel following in the same furrow with one or two mules to drive down to one foot more depth. If on ex amination I doubted whether all the sub soil was pulverized, I would cross it with a coulter or bull-tongue, m ale narrow where it comes in contact with the sur face and somewhat broader below, so as to disturb it as little as practicable. If well done you wi 1 have a depth of loose soil for 12 or 16 inches, and the top soil where it was. I have soon the usual subsoil plow which saves some time, as it requires but one plowing; but taking into consideration the usual con dition of our plantations, with the chance of a grub, stump, and certainly some strong cotton stalks, I see no reason for giving them a preference over tlio plows bow in general use. I am aware that the gardener will sav thnt the spade is best for all this, and I am also aware that the sugar in Dema rara is cultivated with the spade, making the hip the fulcrum, but these arc not o tr planter*’ tools.

The design of “THE REPUBLICAN COURT” is, to give an interesting and faithful view of the private and sqoiul life of this country in the days of Washing ton. Referring as briefly as possible to political affairs, it introduces the great characters of that illustrious age in their jxjrsonal connections -in the parlor, the ball-room, the theatre—in anec dote, descriptions, and details of even-day expe rience. It embraces particular i.arn.fivcsY f Pie sident Washington’s celebrated tour through the Eastern States, with all its festivities, parades, Ac., and of the subsequent tour through the {■Southern Slates, with the imposing and enthusi astic receptions in Charleston, Augusta, Ac.

A P nl7 - J. MARSHALL A CO. PROSPECTUS OF TTJ.fi TEMPERANCE CRUSADER. [QUONDAM.] TEMPERANCE BANNER. ACTUATED by a conscientious desire to fur* th.*r the cause of Temperance, and experi encing great disadvantage in being too narrowly limited in sjjace, by the smallness of our paper, f>r the publication of Reform Arguments and I assionate Appeals, we have determined to en large it to a more convenient and acceptable size. And being conscious of the fact that there are existing in the minds of a large portion of the present readers of the Banner and its former pa trons, prejudices and difficulties which can never be removed so long ns it retains the name, we venture also to make a change in that particular. It will henceforth be called “THE TEMPER ANCE CRUSADER.” Tins old pioneer of the Temperance cause isl destined vet to chronicle the triumph of its prin ciples. It has stood the test—passed through the “ fiery furnace,” and, like the “ Hebrew child ren,” re-appeared unscorched. It has survived the naexpaper f<>mint which has caused, and is still causing many excellent journals and periodi cals to sink, like “bright exhalations in the eve ning,” to rise no more, and it has even heralded the “ death struggles ’ of many contemporaries, laboring for the same great end with itself. Ii “ still lives,” and “waxing bolder as it grow* older,” is now waging an eternal “Crusade" against the “ Infernal Liquor Traffic,” standing * e jl 4 Priesf” of the Israelites, who stood between the people and the plague that threatened destruction. We entreat the friends of the Temperance Cause to give us their influence in extenaing the usefulness of the paper. We intend presenting to the public a sheet worthy of all attention an« a liberal patronage; for while it is strictly a T&i< m per a nee Journal , wc shall endeavor to keep it* readers posted on ail the current events through out the country. as heretofore, sl, stnctlv in advance.
