Alkaline Earths, Alktties and their
combinations, which are found unmix
ffi with the remains of any organized
I iags, are the only substances which
can with propriety be called fossil ma
iur.-s. The only alkaline earths which
. we hitherto been applied in this way,
•re limo and magnesia; though potas
a and soda, the two fixed alkalies,
are both used to a limited extent in
certain of their chemical compounds.
The iuo?t common form in which
lime is found on the surface of th
earth, is in a state of combination with
carbonic aetd or fixed air. If a piece
of limestone or chalk be thrown into
a fluid acid, there will be an efferves
ctHi;. This is owing to the escape of
the carbonic acid gas. The lime be
comes dissolved in the liquor. When
limestone is strongly heated, the car.
Louie acid gas is expelled, and then
nothing remains but the pure alkaline
-earth; in this case there is a loss of
weight; and if the fire bar been very
high, it approaches to one-half the
weight of tho stone; but in common
cases, limestones, if well dried before
burning, do not lose much more than
thirty. five or forty per cent, or from 7
to 8 parts out of 20.
When burnt lime is exposed to the
atmosphere in a certain time it be
comes mild, and is the same substance
as that precipitated from lime water;
it is combined with carbonic acid gas.
Quick-lime, when first made, is caus
tic and burning to the tongue, renders
vegetable bb’es. Jjreen, and is soluble,
[i. e. dissolves] in water; but when
combined with carbonic acid, it loses
all these properties, its solubility and
its taste; it regains its power of offer
vesciug, and becomes the same chem
ical substance as chalk or limestone.
Very few limestones or chalks consist
entirely of lime and carbonic acid.
The statuary marbles, or certain of
the rhomboidal spars, are almost the
cnly pure species; and the different
properties of limestones, both as man
ures and cements, depend upon the na
ture of the ingredients mixed with the
limestones; for the true calcareous el
ements, the carbonate of lime, is uni
formly the same in nature, in proper
ties, and effects, and consists of one
proportion of carbonic acid, 41. 4, and
one of lime, 55. When a limestone
does not copiously effervesce in acids,
and is sufficiently hard to scratch glass,
it contains silicious, (sandy,) and pro
bably aluminous (clayey) earths.
When it is deep brown or red, or
Strongly colored of any of the shades
of brown or yellow, it contains oxide
of iron. When it is not sufficiently
hard to scratch glass, but effervesces
dowly, and makes tie acid in which
it effervesces milky, it contains mag--
uesia. And when it is black, and
emits a ftstid smell if rubbed, it con-
tains coaly or bituminous matter. Be
fore any opinion can be formed of the
manner in which the different ingredi
ents in limestone modify their proper
ties, it will be necessary to consider the
operation of pure lime as a manure.
Quick-lime, in its pure state, wheth
er in powder or dissolved in water,
is injurious to plants. In several in
stances grass has been killed by water
ing it with lime-water. But lime, in ■
its state of combination with carbonic ■
acid, is a useful ingredient in soils. 1
Calcareous earth is found in the ashes
of the greater number of plants; and
exposed to the air, lime cannot long
continue caustic, for the reasons that
were just now assigned, but soon be
come united to carbonic acid. When
uewiy burnt lime is exposed to the air,
it soon falls into powder; in this case
it is called slaked lime; and the same
effect is immediately produced by
throwing water upon it, when it heats
violently, and the water disappears.
Slaked lime is merely a combination
of lune, with about one-third its weight
of water; i. e. fifty.five parts of lime
absorb seventeen parts of water, and is
called by chemists hydrate of lime— and
when hydrate of lime becomes carbon,
ate ot lime by long exposure to air,
the water is expelled, aud the carbonic
acid gas takes its place. When lime,
whether fresh y burnt or slaked, is
mixed with any moist fibrous, vegeta
ble matter, there is a strong action be
tween the time and the vegetable mat
ter, and they form a kind of compost
together, of which a part is usually
soluble in water. By this sort of op
eration, lime renders matter which was
before comparatively inert, nutritive;
*ad as charcoal and oxygen abound in
all vegetable matters, it becomes at the
same time converted into carbonate of
lime.
Mild lime, powdered lime-stone,
marls or chalks, have an action of this
kind upon vegetable matter; they pre
vent lhe too rapid decomposition of
substances already dissolved, but they
have no tendency to form soluble mat
ters. It is obvious from these < ircum
stauces, that the operations of quick
lime, and mar), or chalk, depend upon
principles altogether different. Quick
lime in being applied to laud, tends to
bring any hard vegetable matter that it
contains into a state of more rapid de
composition and solution, or as to ren
der it a proper food for plants. Chalk,
and marl, or carbonate ot lime, will o.>-
iy improve the texture of the soil, or its
relation to absorption; it ac’s merely
as one of its eartnly ingredients. Chal k
has been recommended as a substance
calculated to correct .he sourness of
land. It would surely have been a
wise practice to have previously ascer
tamed the certaimy of this existence
of acid, aud to have determined its nat
ture in order that it might be effectually
removed. The fact really is, that no
soil was ever yet found to contain any
iiot.ible quantity of uncombined acid.
Til : acetic and carbonate acids are the
only two that are likely to be generat
ed by spontaneous decomposition of
animal or vegitable bodies, and neither
of these have any fixity when exposed
the air. Chalk having no power of
actingon animal or vegitable substances
can, be no otherwise serviceable to
land than as it alters its texture. Quick
lime, when it becomes mild, operates
in the same manner as chalk, but in the
act of becomiugmild, it prepa res soluble
out of unsoluble matter. Bouillon La
Grange says, that gelatine oxygenized
becomes insoluble, and vegetable ex
tsaet becomes so from the. same cause;
now lime has the property ofuttraeti moxvnen
and, consequently, of restoring the property of
solubility to those substances which have been
deprived of it, from a combination of oxygen.
Hence, tho use of lime mi peat lands, and o i all
soils containing an excess of rcgitablu insoluble
matte r.— Grisent'uea tie.
Effects off lime on wheal crops— When lime
is employed upon the land where th r? is pre
sent any quantity of ammonia, w hich may, per
haps, be imbibed by the leaves of plants, and
afterwards undergo some change so as to form
gluten. It is upon this circumstance, that
the operation of lime ii th: preparation for
wheat crops depends; and itseflicacvia fertiliz
ing peat, and in bringing into a state of cultiva
tion and soils abounding in hard roots, or dry
' fibres, or inert vegitab'e matter.
General principles for applying lime.— The
solution of the question win ther quick-lime
ought to bnapplii d to a soil, depends upon the
quantity of inert vegitnble nutter it contains. —
Pho solution of the question, whether m ir>,
mild lime, or powdered limestone ought to be
applied, depends upon the quantity of calcar
eous matter already in the soil. All sails ar *
improved by mild lime, and ultimately by quick
lime, which do not effervesce with acids, and
sands more than chivs. When a soil, defi
cient in ca careous ma ter. contains more |
soluble vegitabls manure, th? application ot I
quick-lime should always he avoided, as it ei
ther tends tod -compose the soluble matters by I
uniting to their carbon and oxygen so as to be
come mild limo, or it combines with the sol
uble matters, and forms compounds, having less
attraction for water than the pure vegitable
substance. The case is the same with res
pect to most anim d manures, but the operation
of the lime is different in oases; and depends
upon the nature of the anima' niat'er. Lime
forms a kind of insoluble soap with oily matters
andthen gradually decomposes th tn bv s pirat
ing from them oxygen a id’earbon. Il comb es
likewise with animal acids, and prob blyas&ists
their decomposition by übstracting carbona
ceous matter from them combined with ox
ygen; and consequently must reader them less
nutritive. It tends to diminish, likewise, th
- powers of albumen from the same
causes; and always destroys, to a certain ex
tent. the efficacy of animal manures, either by
combi ling with certain of their elements, or
by giving to them new arrangements. Lime,
should never be applied with animal manures,
unless they are too rich, or for the purpose ot
preventing noxious efflivia. It is injurious
when mixed with any commo i du ig, and tends
to render the attractive matter insoluble. Ac
cordi ig to Chaptai, lime forms insoluble com
posts, with almost all animal or vegetable sub
stances that are soft, and thus destroys their
fermentative properties. Such compounds,
however, exposed to the continued action of
the air, alters in course of time, the lime be
-1 comes carbonate, the animal or vegetable mat
ter decompose by degrees, and furnish new
1 products as vegetable nourishment. In this
’ view, li ue presents two great advantges for
> the nutrition of plants; the first, that of dis-
■ posing of certain insoluble bodies to form solu.
■ ble compounds, to seccoad, that of prolonging
the action and nutritive qualities of substances
! beyond the term which they would return them
! if they were not made to enter into combina
tion with lime. Thus the nutritive qualities
1 of blood, as it exists in the compound oflime
1 and blood, known as sugar bakes’ scum, is
' moderated, prolonged, and given out by degrees
I blood a'one applied directly to the roots of
■ plants will destroy them, w ith few or no excep-
r - ■✓_, _ . . 4
tions*
Lime promotes jermentation.— l n those cases
in which formeatatio a is useful to produce
nutriment from vegetable substances, lune is
efficacious. Some moist tanner’s spent bark
was mixed with oae-fifth of its weight of
quick-lime, aud suffered to teinain together in
a close vessel for three mouths: the lime had
been colored, and was effervescent, when wa
ter was poured upon the mixture, it gained a
tint of fawn coloured powder, which must
have consisted of lime united to veget ■ ble mat
ter, for it burnt when strongly heated, aud
left a residium of mild lime.

A more valuable manti re than blood cannot be
applied to the grape- vine

’W.IIU HILE numerous Literary Periodicals

are liberally patronized, it lias been a subject ci
general regret, that since the discontinuance o
that able work, the Southern Review, there has
been no Magazine established in South Carolinr
affording a suitable medium through which th*
opinions of our best writers might be brought to
bear directly and usefully upon the public mind.
It is with a view to meet this demand, that the
publication of this Journal is proposed—and that
the general and substantial support of the citi
zens of the ■•’outh, is respectfully solicited.
The proposed Magazine will consist of' rigin
' al communications on Literary and Scientific
i subjects, of notices of recent publications, par
I ticularly in the department of light and fugitive |
I Literature, of popular tales suggested by histo
' rival and local associations, of Poetry and Po

afford a vehicle for the free, but temperate, dis
cussion of all questions, which, from their im
portance, interest or attraction, are deserving of
the attention of an educated community, if it j
shall become, what its name imports, a Journal i
of strict Southern Literature—if it.shall serve to I
place upon record a true account of the opinions, I
feelings, habits, and general tone oftbinking of
an enthusiastic and high minded people—if, un

and with the approving smiles of the, generous

it shall contribute, in any small degree, to secure
for the south that elevated Literary position to
which it is entitled, and which it is capable cf j
maintaining, its design will then be fully ac.com- I

In another point, the experience of the pre

in a future. Where more than one Nubscriber

the Subscriber in as good order as if taken im

Publisher, that the American public shall be
furnished with the most beautiful, and at the

DYSPEPSIA
AND
LIVER COMPLAINTS.
The Patent Vegetable Medicinje Stom
achic.® et Hepatic.e, formed by chymical
analysis and synthesis of several proximate ve
getable principles, are universally acknowl
edged to have totally eclipsed the pretensions
of every other remedy, and superceded the ne
cessity ofevery other mode of treatment where
ever the above diseases are found to exist, »<
well as in enlargement of the Spleen and in
Jaundice.
Among the symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liv
er-complaints, are flatulency, sourness or burn
ing in the stomach, melancholy, irritability r
disagreeable taste m the mouth; great irregu
larity of appetite, which is sometimes voracious,
and at other times greatly deficient: thirst, fetid
I breath, nausea, weakness of the stomach, acid
I eructations, palpitation, drowsiness, irregularf’
ity ofthe bowels, pressure on the stomach af
ter meals, pain in the head, dizziness or ver
tigo; confusion of mind, attended with loss o
memoiy, a gnawing in the stomach when emg,
ty, chilliness, affection of sight and hearins
pain and weakness in the back, languoi, did
turbed sleep, cold feet, and hands, tremor, un
easiness in the throat, cough, pain in the side
or breast, Ac.
These Medicines havs been found so effec
tual, in removing the complaints for which they
arc recommended, that physicians frequently
have recourse to them far their patients, after
having exhausted al) their skill, to little or no
purpose.
DR. PETERS
Vegetable Anti-Billious Pill#
Are the cheapest and most approved Family
51 edicine ever offered to the Public They
are extremely mild in their operation, neither
causing sickness of the stomach, nor any un
pleasant sensation in the system, as is too fre
quently the result from medicines given to act
upon the bowels. They act specifically upon
the Liver, when in a torpid condition, carrying
off a large quantity of bile, through the influ
ence of the excernent function, which, if suf.
sered to remain in the system, would produce
either Jaundice, Liver Complaint, Bilious Fe
ver, Fever and Ague, or some other grievous
bodily affliction. In all cases of torpor of the
bowels, they act like a charm. In recent cass
es of Dyspepsia, they are a certain cure. Ma
ny persons who were subject to violent attack
of sick head-ache, have been much benefited,
and several perfectly cured in a few weeks by
their use. They are highly recommended us
a prevo itive and cure of Bilious complaints.
Persons who are subject to that distressing
complaint, sea-sickness, by taking a portion or
two of them a few days previous
on I>oa rd
suffering from sickness; 11
keeping up a regular peristaltic action of the
stomach and bowels, thus suffering to be ab
sorbed and mingled with the blood, unassimi
lated fluids, that most diseases are produced.
Dr. P. feels confident that no person who gives
these Pills a fair trial, will ever after feel will
ing to be without theip. The testimony of
thousands speaking in the highest terms of
their efficacy, might be added, but the v< ry
high reputation Dr. P has acquired as lhe n
ventor of the “Patent Vegetable MedicKoe
Stomachicce et Hepatica,” for the cure of Dys
pepsia and Liver complaints, is thought a suf
ficient guarantee to those wishing to make a
trial of their virtues. They contain not a par
ticle of Mercury, or any ingredient that does
not aot in harmony with health and oppose
disease.
Dr. P. having been educated under the most
eminent American and European Medical pro
fessors, and praticed his profession many years
in the South, where diseases ofthe most obsti
nate character prevail, considers himself well
qualified to judge on the nature of diseases in
cident to warm climates.

AT the late meeting of the Alumni of Frank
lin College, it was unanimously resolved tu
be expedient to make arrangements to issue a
Monthly Literary Magazine, to be called
THE ATHENIAN.
The undersigned were appointed by the So
ciety a committee of publication and joint Edi
tors of the work, until the next meeting of tuo
Society. We have no interest in the work, ex
cept that which we take in the welfare ofthe
country and honor ot the State. We, ot the
South,' have too long depended upon foreign
parts for our Literature, and neglected our own
talents. We shall be weak so long as we think
we are weak: and dependent until we make ef
forts to be independent. We hope all the friends
of Literature m the State, and especially the
Alumni of Franklin College, will patronize the
enterprise both by word and deed. State pride
; the love of Literature, our interest in the cause’
i of general Education, all call upon us to sustain
an enterprise so necessary to our improvement,
and the honor ofthe State.
