ADVANTAGES OF PULVERIZING THE
80IL. .
The effects of pulverization orstirring
the #oil are numerous. ’
1. It gived free scope to reots of veg
etables; and they become wove fibrous
in a loose than in a hard soil, by which
the absorbers become more numierous,
and such food as is-in the svil has a bet
ter chartg of being sought after and
taken up by them. .
2. It adwits the atmospheric air to
tho spongioles of the reots—srithout
which no plant can make & W"}
growth, " L
3. It incroases tho capillary attrae
tion or sponge-like property of soils; by
which their humidity is rendered more
aniform ; and in a hot season it ineréss
es the deposits of dew, and adwits it to
the roots. o
4. It increases tho temperature of the
soil in the spring, by admitting the
warm air and tepid rain,
5. It increases the supply of erganic
ivod. The atmosphere contains ear
bonic aekd, anrmonid, and nitri¢ Acid—
all most powerful fortilizers and sol
vents. A loosc soil attracts and com
denses them.
~ Rain and dew, alse, contain them.—
And when these fertilizing gases are
carried iuto the soil by the rain water,
they are absorbed and retained by the
soil for the use of plants. On the other
hand, if the soil is hard, the water fitns
off the surface, and instead of leaving
these gases in the soil, carries off some
of the best portions of the soil with it.—
Thus, what might be & betiefit becotties
an injury.
¢. By means of pulverization, & -
tion of the atmospheric air is burip;":n
the soil, and it is supposed that arfirion
ia and nitric acid are formied by the mu
tual decomposition of this air and tho
moisture of the soil—heat also being
evolved by the changes. ,
7. Pulverization of the siirface soil
sorves to retain the moisturé in the &üb
soil, and to prevent it from boing pene
trated by heat from a waririer, as woll as
from radiating its heat to a colder at
mosphere, than itself. Thesa effects
are preduced by the porosity of tho&:l
-verized stratum, vhich acts as muleb,
especially in heavy soils.
8. l'uf’;erization, al-o, has the com
bined effects of soveral of the preced
ing causes, acceleratos the decomposi
tion of the mineral matter; and thus
preparos the inert matter of the soil for
assimilation by tho plants.— Ezchange.
“Axarcny 1s Reconstrucrion—.-Con
vustoN 18 Lovavry.”—Yesterday, by
order of Congress, the government of
Virginia went to picees. . We have ne
officers of any sort, save liere and tfiqrd
a scalawag or & earpet-bagger, The
Military Commande? of District No. 1
says he cannot fill the offices, and eon
sequently the clerks’ offices, the shesiffy’
offices and all other offices are closed.—
Nobody can get out & license to carry
on tru{o; nobedy can lodge & complant
before a magistrate ; no deed can go to
record ; no injunction can be procured
from the courts ; our women cannot mar-~
ry. Anarchy is reconstruction and con
fusion is loyalty. What have the ‘Boo
ple of Virginia done to be left without
any government ! They arc not allow

manner, and Congress is so busy that it
only finds time to deeree disintegration.
