J.-swcfl From the Cultivator and Rural (lrat Jem an. 1 A. great diversity of opinion exists on the subject of planting whole, cutting in large pieces, and cutting to single eyes, as well as in relation to the depth and distance for planting. All admit that planting potatoes whole, produces a greater number of stalks and more and smaller potatoes. The only advantage of employing whole potatoes, is that they do not dry up so soon when planted late or in very dry earth. It will rarely happen that good, well pulverized soil will be found so dry as to require whole seed.— Planting in hills both ways may do for weedy land, as more of the work may be done by horse cultivation than when in drills or in rows, but in one direction. The last named mode, however, will generally yield nearly doable, as more of the soil is occupied with the tubers. The practice of cutting to three or four eyes, or to a single eye, must depend on cir cumstances. For ordinary management, or where the finest culture and best care cannot be given, pieces with three or four eyes may bo- planted, twelve to twenty inches apart in the row. This is the mode now most gener ally adopted by the better class of cultivators. But if the soil is in the finest condition, a larger crop, with more uniformly large pota toes, may be obtained by adopting the single eye mode. For this purpose the tnbers should be of fair size, and bn cat some days before planting, so as to form a tbin, dry ernst on the cut surface before depositing in the ground. Some cultivators regard it as im portant to roll the pieces in slacked lime or plaster, while others entirely disregard it.— Wo are unable to say what amount or value the practice possesses. The distance should not exceed eight or ten inches in the row, bnt may vary with the character of the varie ty, for spreading at the top and at the roots —some varieties forming more compact masses of tubers than others. There is another point upon which opinions differ—namely, the influence of the size of the seed. It is commonly believed that small potatoes reproduce small ones, and that the crop is smaller than from large potatoes.— This opinion is partly correct and partly er roneous. When small potatoes are planted, I culls are commonly used to finish oat vacan cies and spare pieces of ground, which re ceive less care than the better and earlier planted portions of the crop. Again, small potatoes are oftener planted whole, yielding nnmerous stems and tubers at the expense of quantity. Hence the common opinion that small potatoes reprodace small ones. The trnth is, that the tnbers are strictly under ground swollen stems, the eyes being the buds; and largo ones tend no more to re produce large ones than large sticks used for grafting will ultimately make the largest trees, or than small trees set from a nursery 1 will never spread out and form such bearers as large nursery trees. When the Inrgc and small potatoes are eat alike, with tic same number ol eyes, and planted in fine mellow earth, at a proper depth, where the moisture is sufficient to im-J part vigor to both without drying, the dif ference in the size of the potatoes yielded will be scarcely perceptible. This experiment we have repeatedly performed, and it accords with many reported results, where the above mentioned precautions are taken. There is generally, however, a difference in favor of the larger seed, ascertained by careful mea suring, and resulting, doubtless, from the greater vigor at the outset given to tbe yonng plants by the larger quantity of nutriment in the pieces. This difference, small as it is, and generally imperceptible to tbe eye, is, however, sufficient to amount to several, and sometimes many bushels per acre—sufficient to warrant the selection of good medium sized potatoes for seed. Two inches, or two and a half inches in diameter is a suitable size. If much larger, they are little or no better, although requir ing a large additional amount of seed per acre. For example—a potato three inches in diameter contains more than three times tbe bulk of one two inches in diameter, and twenty-seven times tbe bulk of one an inch in diameter. A large potato, measuring four inches, will be sixty-fonr times the balk of one measuring bnt an inch, and consequently sixty-four bushels of the larger potatoes would be required to afford as many eyes or stems as would be found in a single bnsbel of inch potatoes. The tuber resembles the graft or shoot in another respect. The eyes at or near what is termed the root end arc smaller and more dormant than those at the eye end, in pre cisely the same way that tbe lower bods of a shoot on a tree are smaller, and are more tardy in breaking than the npper buds, while the terminal bad, like tbe terminal bnds of tbe potato, is larger, and breaks sooner or more freely than any other. It is for tbis reason that those who raise potatoes for early market cat off the eye ends and keep them in a separate bosket for early planting—re serving tbe rest for the main crop, and re jecting tbe root end altogether. song and legend, the Guadalquivir, lies an old Spanish town founded more than two thousand years ago by the Romans. To the Spaniard it is known by the name, of Jerez, to the French by the name of Xeres; to the Americana, English and the world generally, it is familiar as the headquarters and depot for the famous Sherry TVine. The Spaniards declare that no Englishman or American has ever been able to properly pronounce “Jerez,” and certainly it is impossible to give on pa per an idea of the name as it sounds lading from a native tongue. O’Shea, in- bis guide book, attempts it thus: “Chgberris,” but it gives a poor if any idea. Foreigners, jjj;etier- ally, therefore, make an abortive attempt and say “Harrez,” or more wisely call it “the sherry place.” A few days since, our party went from Cadiz to Jerez by rail, and having engaged rooms in the comfortable boteK started with a guide for ah .jfMpcdVaigulaiBgetUii ivttbe : a of the' v freight expenses, and the heavy percentage re alized by the American wine merchant, it would prove tQ be a very high priced wine in Jerez, if indh^4 il frara. so fortunate as to come from at I Aik ..

A Wonderful Valley. From the Santa Clara, Cal, ArttueA When the good old Friars, the pious dis- ciples'of fit. Francis, pitched their missionj ary tents in this charming Valley, they mani fested a degree ot sagacity truly surprising.. There is, probably, not another spot on this planet which can furnish as many natural adjuncts for a prosperous and refined comma! niry as the Valley of Santa Clara.' TlYelanas are level, expansive and marvelously fertile. Peter Domesq, Esq. We were led through The mountains which rise on the east and op. most celebrate" u, The Wheat Chop.—Our exchanges from East TeDnes3ae give gratifying accounts ot tbe prospect of the coming wheat crop in their sections. The wheat throughout Lee, Scott, and Washington counties, Virginia, looks only tolerable.—Bristol Netot, We understand that the wheat crop of Caswell Is looking finely. We saw a gentle man who had recently travelled over a large •portion of Pittsylvania and Halifax counties, and he reports the prospect in those counties also as fine.—Danville Time*. The wheat crop east of the Ridge, and also in the Valley, is looking well. The farmere have been much delayed in planting com by the abundance of rain that has fallen within the past month.

John A Wag oner, State Commissioner, and many promi nent citizens of that State. narrow, dirty streets, lined with the low white-washed houses which compose the 8p*ntfb towns, uutil, crossing a little plaza or square, we stopped in front of a large and elegant house. At first we imagined thatour guide must have mistaken our intentions and conducted us to the private residence of Sr. Domesq, instead of his wine vaults; but as none ot onr party spoke Spanish, we deter mined to enter and trust to find some one who coold converse in French or English.— Passing through the gateway, we entered a most beautiful court, paved with handsome black and white marble .tiles, while in the center were blooming a most lovely collection of ' flowers. The corridors around the yard were sopported by most graceful marble columns, and the whole effect of the court was to give one an idea of princely wealth and elegance. Then np a stairway, into a long, low room, from tbe lurther end of which a gentleman advanced and received our letter of introduc tion. In tbis room, so cool, so quiet, and contrasting so strangely with the small aod narrow offices of onr merchant princes, the vast affairs of this extensive house are con ducted. To an American, accustomed to the rush and excitement ot trade, as managed at home, it seemed strange and ont of place to enter this qniet room, and expect there to enter into business discussion and bargains. We received a most polite and cordial wel come, and soon were in the streets again, under the guidance of a servant of the house, on our way to the wine vaults. 'i'i'-- - A brisk walk of ten minutes, through dirty, dusty streets, in some parts so narrow that botli walls could be touched nt once, and in which we were obliged to dpdgc every little while into an open doorway to avoid, a lino of loaded donkeys who would fill the whole way, brought ns to the vaults. Our letters were again presented, this time through a grated window, and soon the heavy door was unlocked and we passed into the vaults. It is necessary to guard the vaults with heavy holts and bars, for serious consequences might follow, should n crowd break into them. One imagines, when speaking of wine vaults, chambers, deep under ground, (lark mould. But those of Jerez are of entirely different character. Sherry will not bear being kept in ccllors where it is exposed to moisture and moifid, butfii-.-Mst alwtya be stored in dry, airy places, where no damp can reach it. The wine vaults at Jerez, then, are built on tbis priociple, and consist of large stone buildings erected on the ground, perhaps two hundred feet long, one hundred wide, and from the floor to the centre of the roof some forty feet high. At the top of the solid stone walls forming the sides, are nu merous grated windows, through which a constant current of air is flowing. In these rooms, or vaults, stand the long rows of pipes containing the wine piled three tiers high.— There the wine remains year after year, evap orating, concentrating, and, of course, in creasing in value constantly, until at last it changes from tbe light-colored, raw sherry, into a dark, thick, murky-looking wine, which demands a most fabulous price. We began with the vaults containing the lower priced wines, abont three hundred dollars per pipe, and small glasses of it were kindly given us. We then passed into another large vault, were tbe higher priced wines wore kept, and again samples of the various kinds were submitted for our exam ination. First we had a sherry at four hun dred dollars in gold per pipe, and it cer tainly was a supeab article. Then came a dry sherry, at five hundred dollars per pipe, lint to one with a taste not accustomed to it, it is generally not as pleasant as the common sherry. Then came sweet wines, which the ladies declared delicious, but the gentlemen disliked. As wc proceeded wo tasted a sherry of every kind, at six hundred, seven hundred and fifty, eight hundred and filty and nine hundred dollars per pipe, bnt being UDnsed to these rich old wine3 we one and all preferred the four hundred to the nine honored dollar sherry. At last we were conducted to an immense cask, named “Napoleon,” from which was drawn a dark murky looking wine, which seemed as “solid” as a wino could be. Upon tasting it, we declared it admirable, but it was a sherry so valuable that no price has been set on it, because no one would be wil ling to pay what it is really worth. In 1730 this honse possessed twenty-five casks of wliat was then known to be at" least twenty-five years old sherry. From that time to this they have zealously kept this wiuc, until from evaporation the quantity lias been re duced so that it now fills but five casks, and to-day they exhibit this wine whose value might be reckoned at so much per drop, to show what sherry will eventually become from age and concentration. Let no one hope ever to taste the best of sherry, unless he makes a pilgrimage to Jerez, and-drink at the monster cask “Napoleon.” The house of Peter Domesq is one of the oldest of the Jerez firms, and, to-day, I sup pose stands at the head, judging by the quality of their wines.' They have no wine less than two hundred and fifty dollars per pipe, and none which they recommend under three hundred. From this their prices range up to niDehnudred per pipe. All these prices are of course in gold. They send but little wine to America, because either owing to the heavy Custom Honse dues, or an almost total want of appreciation of good wine on the part of Americans, the orders come mostly for cheaper wines than this honse deal in. I say, mostly, for of course, there are a few firms in New York and Boston who import a small amount of really good sherry, but I am assured by more than one Jerez house, that they send but little of the higher priced wines across the water.

The west ern hills are clothed to their summits with dense forests of red wood, live oak and fir. The rocks are charged with inexhaustible mines of cinnabar, copper, iron, antimony, and other valuable metals. In the same range are vast beds of marble, granite, lime stone, gypsum and petroleum. The hills to the east contain rock alum, copper, platinum, talc, and probably stone coal. Two pretty little rivers, the Coyote and Guadalupe, go dancing to the bay, giving vigor and beauty by their aqueous benefi cence. Here, in the midst of this grand amphi theatre of natural wealth and incomparable loveliness, the sagacious old MoDks estab lished the Mission de Santa Clara and Pueblo de San Jose. The wisdom and forethought of the Fathers in selecting a location for the Mission and Pueblo is now manifest to every body. 'The towns are both a hundred feet above the level of the sea, and therefore aie above the possibility of disturbances from freshets and floods.. San Jose is eight mile3 from the sliofe ot the bay, and if ever a hos tile fleet shall succeed in passing Fort Point and Alcatraz, wo are. beyoud the range of heavy guns. If lumber is desired for build ing purposes, the mountains are at hand, with innumerable mill sites and excellent tim ber. If bricks are needed, there are beds of clay from which-the I rest quality can be moulded. We are just tar enough from the coast to catch the sea winds in the modified form of refreshing breezes. The coast range serves os a barrier to the flense ocean fogs. The soil of the valley, though all remarkably fertile, varies in quality and positions to the wind and sun light, so that while the gardener finds the right locality for vegetable, the vintner can secure a spot equally well adapted to the vine. The corn raiser adopts tile heavy black soil along the 'Guadalupe, while the wheat grower prefers thelighter loatn. There arc places precisely suited to the culture of the peach, pear and apple, wliilo others are „ .. . equally: advantageous to the development of damp, and filled with cobwebs and .the fig, olive and orange. :1. But those of Jerez are df entirely We are not writing for buncomb. What we aro saying of this Valley and its surround ings is really true, as all men may know if they can'pay us a visit. We verify believe there is not another spot on this green earth where so great a variety of fruits, vegetables and cereals, can be cultivated, so well or so profitably.

These things are all to be seen in our Val ley of Santa Clara, and we want our frost bitten friends in the dreary East to hurry up the Iron-Horse across the continent, and come and partake of these choice blessings. Western Ideas of “Fun.” A Wisconsin paper gives the following graphic but not flattering illustration of so ciety in Oshkosh, in the same State: A min ister from a neighboring town started to go, one day last week, on a kind of missionary enterprise. He drove his own- team, and when within about six miles of the eDd of his journey, he met a man limping along, with the blood running down the side of his face.. The minister asked him if that was the road to Oshkosh. “Yes; you are on the right road. I just came from there. I have been up there having a little fun with the boys.” About two miles further on he met another man, one arm in a sling, one eye badly bururd, and his clothing in a dilapidated erudition. “How far is it to Oshkosh J” asked the minister “Only (Ii-i-c) five miles,” answered the pitiable ob ject. “Oshkosh is a live town. I’ve been up there having fun with the boys.” With a sad heart the minister drove on, falling into revery on the depravity of man in general, and the Oshkosians in particular, when he suddenly came upon a man sitting by the side of the road. One arm was sprained, one ear had been bitten off, and, seated by the side of a puddle of water, he was seeking relief by bathing the part affected. Tbe minister was perfectly awe-stricken. Stop ping his horse he inquired of the man wliat terrible accident had bafallen him. “O, not any at all,” faintly responded tbe bleeding wreck ; “I have only been up to Oshkosh, having a little fun with the boys.” “I sup pose yon mean by that tl,at you have been engaged in some brutalizing fight,” said the minister. “Yes,” said the man, • “I have heard that's what they call it .town at Fond du Lac, where they are civilized; but they don’t call it by that name up at Oshkosh. There they call it having a little fun with the boys.” “What do you suppose your wife will say when she secs you ?” asked the reverend gentleman. At this the man looked up with a sardonic smile. Puttin_ his remaining well hand in a pocket, he pulled out a piece of nose, a large look of liair, to which a part of the scalp was at tached, and a piece of flesh he had bitten from the cheek of his opponent, and holding them out for the minister’s inspection, growled out, “There, what do you suppose his wife will say when she secs him?” This was a squelcher. As anxious as tho minister was to overcome sin anddo good, lie was not yet prepared to invade the devil’s strong hold; and, turning’round, he returned home. The next time he starts on a missionary en terprise to the frontier of Oshkosh, lie will take good care not to go alone. He likes a little fun now and then, but he don’t care Decatur. Early,...
