Plant the 8ame crop upon these different plats of ground, and give it the same culture and attention. Then compare the crops raised. The perfect crop will of course be upon the plat manured with the com plete manure. And if the perfect crop exceeds the cropTaised on the plat ma nured with the nitrogen left out, it shows that the soil needs ni trogen ; and when- the plat manured with the minerals left out equals the perfect crop, it shows that the soil needs no minerals, and so on. By means of this comparison what fertilizing constit uents are required by the soil can be ac curately ascertained, and all that is nec essary for the planter to do is to supply them. The minerals, or organic ele ments, arc articles of commerce and can be purchased in the available state re quired. A bountiful supply of carbon and nitrogen can be obtained by ma nuring with stable manure and plowing in of growing crops. The best green crops for plowing in are peas and clover. It must be borne in mind that the same manure is not suitable for every kind of crop Corn for instance re quiring a different fertilizer from cotton.

II„w to Analyze Soils Through the Agency of Plants- ****** If there i-one science wc know less about and oughf to know more ab ut th to any other, it is the science of Agriculture. And it is a lamentable fact that but little improvement is being made in this substratum of the world’s wealth aud prosperity. The reason is plain The liability to loss and the number of years it takes to make t bs. r- v ttions to test improvements indispose the planter to vary in his system oi ag riculture, and hctiee each successive year littds him following the same old beaten track. Skill iti agriculture is only acquired by experiment, and very little by expe rience. Experience, it must bereme.it b. red. is the mere observation of cer tain natural phenomena, while in exper iment the phenomena are made to be observed. But experiments to be sue cessful nlust be made wi h a view to general principles, and must be made w-th intelligence. A blinded experi ment bears always fa there for its truit. One of. the maiii reasons given by the energetic and intelligent farmer for n t experimenting m 're. is that he can- mt obtain a correct analysis of'his soil, and hence all h?s manuring is but guess work. I propose in this paper to show how soils may be analyzed through tjie agen cy of growing crops—the process so well known to the Scientific Agricultu ral world. This method has three rea sons for being preferred tea mere chem ical analysis ; 1st. because it is simple; 2nd, it is more reliable >»d better for practical purposes, and 3rd, it is cheap er The difficulty in a chemical analy sis of soils is that these substances that are specially ncedtd 1'ct manures exist in so small quantities, that it is impossible to make anywhereroear a correct analy sis without a very large quantity of earth. And another difficulty is there may be a very large quantity of a cer- iiia substance which stay be discovered 1 needs to make cotton, and the same knowledge you acquire with reference to corn, if corn is the plant used. Thus it is seen that a double analysis, so to speak, is made by the same process. That i&, you can ascertain the fertilizing elements lacking in the soil, and also the constituent elements of- each partic ular plant used in the analysis. Some soils may have every fertilizing element for plant, growth, and hence from chemical analysis would be pro nounced a perfect soil, and yet some one or more of those elements may be in such an insoluable state as to be una vailable to the plant, and therefore en tirely useless. The chemist may detect in other soils plant substances that are in excess of others, and yet those that are hardly traceable may be more bene ficial to the plant than those in excess, which may be unavoidable, A chemi cal analysis of soil is rarely correct, a plant analysis is always correct. In conclusion. I wi.uldmaki this, gen eral remark. That the amount of the crop depends upon the minimum quan tity that the plant needs; or in other words, that if the soil h is but a small quantity «>f a certain substance that the crop needs, its amount will depend up' n this substance rather tnan upon the lar ger amount of the other substances that the soil has, and of which the plant wili the ne- • In response your kind invitation to publish a few thoughts in your valu able paper, explanatory of the nature and aims of the Order of Patrons of Husbandly, I deem it necessary to oc cupy but a small space in your valuable columns. The Order has but very recently been brought promptly before the planters of our State, as our State Grange was or ganized in April last, with a member ship of sixteen subordinate Granges. From its inception, however, its march has been steadily onward, en folding within its embrace almost every planter who has been made properly to comprehend its benificent plans and de signs. And how could it be otherwise ? In almost every other line of bnsiness. conducted upon an expensive scale, as sociated action for the mutual interest of cliques, rings and moneyed interests, has ever been patent to the mind of the most superficial observer; and the ap parent design of these associations has been to wrest from the tillers of the soil the legitimate fruits of their daily toil. The depressed condition of thi farm ing interests of the South and Wpst. shows that they are p-o?trated under the weight of some fearful incubus that keeps them fettered to toe ground The provisions of the Western pro ducer is unmeasured abundance, offered a revenue scaicely sufficient to cover his taxes. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cotton annually produced at the S lUtb at the closing of each year’s ope rations. finds the planter more and more •impoverished. Why this anomalous state of things ? * The railroad interests combine to put such a prohibatory tariff upon the trans portation of the Western producer’s corn as to force him to c -nsume it fir fuel, as an item of economy The Wall Street brokers unite their immense moneyed capital for the de pression of the price of c tier, un iitbe Ittter passes out of the hands of the pro ducer, and is held firmly within the grasp of the speculator. T he consequence is that the middle men and brokers accumulate co2 .es .! fortunes, while the tillers of the s il. who brave the winter’s freezing blasts the summer's sweltering heat and the mophitic exhalations from the swamps, are compelled to mumble the crumbs that fall from the tables of th'jte who fare sumptuously every day. And \vh< m shall we blame ior our position as pen sioners upon the bounty of our superi- What we ueed for the development of cur resources, are wise concert of action, snd intelligent combination for mutual protection and mutual progt. Now. this ideal phantom which has so long pervaded the minds of multi tudes, finds an emb idiment electrified with herculean strength, in the Order of the Patrons of Husbandry; the off spring of necessity, an infant in age,yet a giaiit in influence and power. The object of this Association is to elevate the planter socially, intellectual ly and financially. The planter, by education and habit, is d s oclal—his daily routine of busi ness demands his personal supervision of his laborers, and the diuterual man agement of his farm. When the day closSS, he soeks, in sleep, repose from its lcbors. * From long hsbit and the tutelege of Ilia fathers, he is firmly impressed with the convietioti that his method of con ducting his business is superior to that of his neighb .ra. He feels not the necessity for assist ance, and consequently d -es nut seek it. This routine of business c intinues from week'to week, and from year to year; and the tendency of his occupation is to contract hh habits of thought, and to a mistaken feeling of independence, which tends to isolation and disregard of those agencies arising from at.rition of ideas that leads to progress and reform. Now, at the monthly re-uni ns of the members of a Grange, they are brought into friendly association. . The bonds til fraternity, which unites them as with band* of iron, and the application of which is “as gentle as-a silken thread that binds a wreath of flowers,” infuses a spirit of mutual friendship and sym pathy, in all that concerns the welfare of one another Unity of sentiment and unity of interest inspire unity of action with mutual confidence. The elevated Code of morals recognized in our gov ernment, tends to s .(ten the asperities of our natural instincts, to caltivite in U3 sentiments of benevolence and char ity towards all men, and to impress us with a sense ci our mutual d pender.ee and obligations, to extend to one aoeth or our sympathy and assistance, in times of sickness and adversity, and our con gratulation* in seasons of prosperity and j 7- We are also taught that as cultivators of the earth, while we reap the golden harvest that springs from her ever vrii- mugic influence of woman. Her puri ty of thonght and life, her innate sense of justice, and her natural pre-science in reading human character, and intni tively arriving at true and just concltt sions, apparently without any interme diate steps of mental effort render her a powerful help meat in this union for mutual protection and advancement. She is an integral portion of the organ ization, and not a mere silent spectator of passing events and her influence is for good and conservatism The financial benefits arising from co operation among planters, will probably be regarded by many as the benefit par excellence The iron mongers, the men uficturers. and the merchant* demand a definite price for their wares and the Railroads a voluntary tariff upon the transportation of passengers and freight and they make such combinations as enables them to enforce their demands, The planter upon whom-ali these va rious corporations and compauiesare de pendent for their existence, is' not at lowed to pat a price upon his cotton biit meekly takes what is offered him. All of these articles consumed upon his firm pass through several intermediate agencies after leaving the manufacturer before they reach him. Each agent, in h a turn, p .ckets his bonus for hand ling, and the farmer foots up the bills. Now the object of our Association is 11 bring the producer and manufacturer indirect communieatiin. It is true to.it no individual planter can raise cut- t -n sufficient to induce direct inter- c immunicotioh. but, by combination and union of effort among different Granges, this object can be accomplished, and the profits which now inflate the pock ets of middle men will stop many a leak that has so effectually drained thefinan- cies of the plauter. Again, the im mense. patronage which so controlled by the Patrons, enables them to negotiate transactions with dea l?rs in groceries, and manufacturers of mechanical im plements, wagons &c., at the 1 .>west pcs sifcle.prices at which such products and articles of manufacture can be sold. In deed a deduction of 15 to 25 per cent, from ordinary rates, has been offered to the Patrons. Not an insignificant item in the sav ing of expenses in the great reduction in rates of transportation of freight made by our Railroads ia favor of our Order. * In some instances it is said to amount ors in mental acumen, and every cora tion sense ? . They have the right to employ their intellects and their m cey for their own aggrandizement, so long as they keep within the bounds of honesty and truth. If we foolishly recline our heads up n the lap of ignorance and indolence, and sleep while others are working, we titfy rest-assured th.it our locks will be shorn and, like the Nazarite of ancient times, we will awake to find ourselves helpless and poverty stricken. The magic wand that converts every thing that it tf uches into gold is, oo operative combination for the accom plishment of the end to be attained. Tn every other department of business but that of the agriculturist, this almt st nm- n potent agency is pr perly appreciated and skillfully applied. How is this with the planters ?

The anti-Butler, white-cravated, drab-gaitered Radicals of Massachu setts are utterly horrified at the pros pects of Beast Butler, who has serv ed them so faithfully iu their malig nant crusade against the Soutben people, being elected Governor of that State. On Friday last, they held a convention in Bostou in which several prominent leaders of the par ty, including Judge Hoar, late of the pre.-id nt’s Cabinent, participat ed, and adopted resolutions declar ing it wouldn't do at all to let any ‘salary-grabber’ be so honored, by the party of great moral ideas. They ,i l not denounce the Beast by name, but there was very little concealment in the resolutions to whom they were directed against. The object of the meeting and the resolutions was to defeat Butler's nomination by the Radical Convention which is shortly to meet, and which, with th’e aid of the Administration—which is openly exertiug all its influence in bis lavor —they fear he will be able to control. This is truly ungrateful treatment of the representative man of Massachu- etts Radicalism, one who has done more to carry out their revolutiona- ry, aggressive, and vindictive policy, to wreak their pioas vengeance upon the South, than any man in their ranks. If there is a man in Massa chusetts who, as a relentless and un scrupulous representative ot the par ty of moral ideas, deserves the sup port of that party for the chiei mag- stracy ol the commonwealth, ft is Beast Butler, who, if he should be defeated iu his present aspirations, may justly declaim against the in gratitude of Republicans. But we will say no more on the object lest our seeming advocacy of his claims may injure his prospects of success. If Butler could get it into the heads ol his party that his defeat would be gratifying to the people of the South, .his election would be assured.—Sav.

Overwhelmed with the important duty so.suddenly, thrust upon him, he immediately procured an express wagon and detailed a clerk, who lilt ing the spool into the wagon, drove with it to the residence of the young lady and dismounting, rang the bell, and when the door was opened,plac ed the spool upon bis shoulder -and carried It into the hall, and gently placed it on its end, as if it had been a barrel of flour, and then retired.
