JMi The Sentence of Dr. Beale.
£zi raordmury Statement—The Scene in Court. }«
We announced briefly yesterday that Dr. S. j
T. Beale, convicted of an outrage upon the per
*oc of Miss Mudge. in Philadelphia, was brought i
into the Court of Sessions oh Tuesday, and sen. j
fence i to prison for four years and six months, j
The Philadelphia Bulletin has the annexed ac- |
count of the scene in the Court room, the state*
merit of the unfortunate prisoner, and the re
•*£ of the Judge in pronouncing the sentence
The prisoner was accompanied by his wife,
*nd was joined in the court room by bis sister
"P™ two ladles, and by a number of male
frieada. The party took their seats in iront of
the prisoner’s dock. Dr. Beale looked very pale
and care-worn, am; nis face expressed mu da men
tal Anguish. Hu sister wejit ««| sobbed aloud

but notoi^jd^l^jj.j^

| Neither the Distri- l Attorney nor either of his
deputies were present. At about half-past ten,
Mr. Brown, the counsel for the piisoner, arose
and said— Wwmßk&issEm
Before your Honor proceeds to announce sen
tence, Dr. Beale has a statement which he wishes
so subm.t to the court. In this statement T have,
of course, had no hand nor share. 1 trust your
i Honor ||gpftggg-ife.
Judge Thompson—“ Certainly, sir.”
Dr. Beale then arose, and in a faltering voice
proceeded to read the following statement:
F. DU. BSALE S STATEMENT.
lam aware that the declarations arid the
solemn asseverations of a man placed in the cir
cumstances in which I stand before this court
have bot little weight upon the public mind.
At the same time, I am constrained to give ut
terance to the truth, however cautiously or scep
tically it may be received. It will, in some
measure, assuage the anguish of my hours of con
finement to remember that I protested my in
nocence of the dreadful crime of which a jury
have convicted me. This I now do, in the most
v decisive and solemn manner, appealing to the
Searcher of all hearts, my Maker, and my final
Judge, to witness wbat I say. I never contem
plated its commission. I never attempted it. My
whole soul revolts at the suggestion.
I had feelings toward my accuser somewhat
like those of a parent toward a child. Sne had
grown up under my notice, and on many' occa
sions had received my professional services and
attentions. It was a strange hallucination that
led her to suspect me of crime, and it was nearly
as stung* that she should have made the charge
•ga Wit me; a charge w hich once made, would i
be likel y to be persisted in whatever her sub
sequent convictions might be.
There were those, I am sorry to say, who
stood by her, counselling her to make confirms- :
tioa doubly strong by the solemnity of an oath,
irwtead of cautiously and anxiously inquiring
jp. whether she might not have taken impressions for
If facts —the vagaiies of the imagination lor the
E ravishment of her person. Once committed on
p* that side, the motives were poweiful to make
E out tbeir case. They rejoice in their success,
if They have torn an innocent man from a cherish
m, *d and ht art-broken wife and eight helpless
children.
Milt At this point !n his address the wife, sister,
eodl other female friends of the sister burst into
tshrts. Dr. Beaia became much agitated, aud also
|f§jppt bitterly.
sister said aloud—“ Yen, and from his poor
iln father and mother, who are dyingl”
r Mr. Brown then offered to read the remainder
She statement, but the prisoner declined the
offvr, add'ng that ha would soon recover himself,
end that he hoped the court would pardon the
weakness of nature. Dr. Baale then resumed.—
They have torn an innocent maa from his wife
cad helpless children, and from aged parents who
no much need hts care and solace, who have al
most reached the grave, to which they now are
rapidly hastening with sorrow, deep sorrow. I
eay they have torn au innocent maa from all
these loved ones, who depend entirely on him
fortbeir comfort and support, and made h:tn a
prisoner—a prisoner, I say; not a felon. Paul
WE» alien a prisoner, but never a felon. It will
mitigate the sorrow and anguish of my imprison
man' that lam not a felon, and no verdict of
»ny jury can make me so. Tire power and the
right to assert my innocence my Maker gave
me, aud in asserting it I need not ask the prrvii
ega oi auy earthly tribunal
A word in regard to the dark mysterious hour
unaccounted for (from ten to eleven o’clock,} on
which so much stress has been laid. Why is it
unaccounted far? Because my lips were closed
as if tte seal ot death was upon them, and now
they are unsealed. I need only’reler to Miss
Mudge’s own statement, and" candid, intelligent j
men can decide whether the representations so j
positively made on tins point are true or false
It should be borne in miud that the time, though j
ealled an hour, was but three quarters ol an hour, j
for according to the evidence given in court, the
worKonen were at the operating room door every
few minutes (roma quarter before eleven, to the
time Miss Mudge left the house.
Miss Mudge’s evidence on this point is this:
“ I went to Dr. Beale’s about ten o’clock. I
went into the front parlor, and in a few minutes
Dr. Beale came in said he was not quite ready;
he had some ladies in his office. In about ten or
fifteen minutes after this he came down with
some ladies and saw them out of the door. I
then went «p into the operating room, took my
bonnet off, and took a seat in the operating
'Chair. Dr. Beale washed his hands and inquired
after my health and the health of our family.— j
He then banded me a book, and said he would !
have to go and see one of his workmen ; he left |
the room. I do not know how long he was
gone. When he came back he began to operate
apon my tooth to prepare it for plugging ; it was
very painful, and he proposed to put something
in to soreness. I declined having it,
and preferred taking ether, aud be gave me
. jelher.”
From this statement of Miss Mudge, in which
she appears perfectly honest, every thinking
mind must see that the time in question was
wholly gone before she began to take ether, apd
yet her counsel, Mr. Wharton, wishing to make
out bis case, passed by all this, and said—“ the
outrage, if committed at all, must have been
committed in this time.” I believe if the ques
tion bad been as ed Miss Mudge what time she
began to take ether, she would have said about I
eleven o’clock.
Miss Mudge said I handed her a book and left ;
the operating room. I did so; I was absent
from the room about ten or twelve minutes, and j
after I returned 1 worked on her teeth about 29
minutes before she began to take ether, and
while she was under the influence ol it 1 finish
ed the preparation of one tooth for plugging, and
cut into the pulp or nerve of another tooth,
n which made it bleed; this cut appeared to give
her pain; I immediately told her I must take
this toot a out; she asked why; I said I cannot
•ave it alive, and it had better be out; she said
give me more ether then ; I did so and took it j
; out; it appears Mis# Mudge did uot know that I (
finished the preparation of one tooth for p!ug
. ging while she was under the influence of ether,
and yet she thinks she knew everything that
transpired in the room; her mind was engaged j
with thoughts and things of which she has told
os, and I suppose honestly, but which never
trampired ; here was a delusion, and for me a fa
tal one.
A» to a new trial, which I earnestly sought,
and which the court have seen fit to deny me, I
S must be permitted to say a word. It would
feave given me unspeakable j>y if the application
bad been granted. Were there any strong or
insupe.able objections ? If lam guilty os charg
ed, jfstice would as certainly have been meted
8 oat to me. It guilty, the verdict of another ju
ry would probably have been an untainted ver
dict. Is it so now ? I respectfully submit to
the court, is it to how ?
Its* Soma of the tact# connected with tba delibeia
la tions of that jury hive been made public. I leave
th« pub ic to judge what tort of a jury it was,
if who within half an hour of coming into court,
|e convict a rcau ol au infamous crime, could
have a menageria exhibition, some oi them biay
in« fika anas* and roaring like a lion, singing

them great unkindness. It i» infinitely better lor ;
tbeir reputation to admit that they werediguised
with liquor than to allow that they had such uu
fee'.iug, savage natures a* to frolic, and play the j
jackass and the lion in the very hour that they
were to render a verdict which was to consign a |
father to a prison, and to blight and blast the hap- j
pit,ess of an inu'c-nt wile and eight children.and j
hurry h s aged parents in sorrow to the grave, j
Deeply as 1 have been wronged by the verdict of
the jury, I must say, to their credit, if credit it is, i
that I do not believe that they could so grossly
outrage propriety and common decency it it had
not been for accursed rum.
But there are lacts in my possession which the
technicality of the law would not allow to be j
made public. They are such as these —besides
the four bottles ol wine used at dinner on Friday
an hour or two before the verdict was rendered,
this jury had a brandy bottle in their room filled
up three or four times. Besides this they rung
their bell on several occasions, and called the land- J
lord to ther door, opened it to him, and ordered
glasses of brandy and also of ale. U lam shut |
up in a cell there are thosp-fR this community
who can and wi#-substantiate these facts if they
are dewed.
Even the offer of my able and learned counsel
—who had most perfect confidence in his case,as
well as in my innocence—after a speech ot more
than two hours had been made against me, to
submit the case without argument, in view ol
a a afflictive Providence by which a brother of
one of the jurors was suddenlyjand in a moment |
struck down by death—l say even the offer to
submit the case without argument, was used to
my disadvantage and hastened my conviction.
A juror, immediately alter the rendering of the
verdict, said in the hearing ol numbers, “Davy,” I
(alluding to Mr, Brown.) “was like the boy that
wet the bed, he had nothing to say.” Another
juror, before he had heard a word of my defense ,
said of me—“D—ri him, he is a guilty tellow,
we’ll sweeten him.” If the forms of law made j
it improper for the court to hear these facts, an
enlightened community shall hear them, and j
judge what sort of a jury rendered a verdict j
against me.
One thing more I have to say, and I know
they wili heartily join me in this, to wit—il any
one of them shall ever be accused of crime, l
hope they will have a fairer, more sober and
more moral set of men to judge of their case than i
I had. I speak not of them all ; there were two
or three honorable exceptions, and my only re
gret is, that they had not the firmness to s'and
by their convictions in spite of ribald songs and
alt the other appliances to hasten my doom.
And how were my clerical witnesses, who
kindly rallied around rne in my extremity, spo- j
ken ol by one or more of the jurors? In this
profane and awful manner: “G—dd—n the
divines, they are as bad as be is,” This fact is
derived from one of the jury.
The District Attorney will pardon me in a
passing allusion to the course which he has seen
lit to pursue. Was it altogether necessary to
press upon me, with all the weight ot his charac
ter and influence, to exert himself to the utmost
to prevent the court from granting me a new
trial ? Was there any danger that I should es
cape ?
I have one request to make of the District
Attorney. It is this: that when he lies down at
night surrounded by his family and all the com
forts of home, that he will remember there is one
husband and father lying in a ceil on a pallet of
straw, torn from the wife of his bosom and the
children of his love, heaving bitter sighs, starting
from his unquiet slumbers by the fancied call ol
his loved ones, and that husband and father is as
innocent ol the crime for which be is incarcera
ted as Mr. Reed himself. ,4
And when he comes around his well spread
board, and greets the smiling, happy faces of his
wile and children, I want him to remember
that there is one husband and lather taking his
coarse and scanty fare on the wooden trencher
of a prison, with no wife to cheer his dreary soli
tude, and no children to comfort thieir heart
stricken sorrowful father. And when he goes to
the sanctuary on the Sabbath, I want him to
think of a husband and father in prison, who
never boasted of going to ‘ fifty churches,” but
who did feel it a privilege to go with his family
to the church of his choice, and there, in a quiet
and humble manner, to learn those lessons of
heavenly wisdom which are almost his only sup
port and solace now. I will add no more, ex
cept to reiterate before God and man my inno
cence of the charge alleged against me.
Mr. Brown requested that the statement be
filed, and that it be placed in the hands of the
Prothonotary for that purpose. The court acced
ed to the request.
After the conclusion of the reading of the
statement, which was listened to with almost
breathless attention, Judge Thompson proceeded
to pass sentence as follows, the prisoner having
first been directed to stand up :
The Sentence op the Court.— Ths most
painful duty a Judge has to perform is to pass
that sentence which the law prescribes for
crimes. I never had a more painful task to per
form than to have presided at your trial, and it
is still more painful to pronounce sentence. In
an ordinary case of a man surrounded as you are
i by the tenderest ties, and bearing the excellent
! character which you have heretofore sustained,
; renders the duty doubly painful.
I have listened attentively to the remarks
; which you have thought proper to make, and I
can only say, that you have been convicted by
the tribunal of your country. It would be im
possible to obtain a verdict from the public, and
the law does not so order. In this case I am
free to say that no one privilege of the law has
been omitted. Each juryman took an oath that
be was unprejudiced and unbiassed. You had a
full right, and you exercised that right to chal
lenge that jury; and your challenges were not
exhausted; you had every opportunity of know
ing who composed the jury.
Under these circumstances, although you have
not been able to convince them of your inno
| cence, the trial was fair and impartial. Every
j question arose during the progress ol the trial
! was decided in your favor. That you failed to
! convince the jury, was, I may say, your misfof
i tune.
You have now taken a final appeal to your
j God.and to Him,l hope you have not appealed in
vain. I trust that if this misfortune, which, if
your statement be truthful, the religion you pro
| fess will prompt you to believe your Heavenly
Father has sent upon you, is so sent for His own
i righteous purposes. If the Christian character
i you pro essed be sincere, it will continue to sus- j
tain you in your confinement.
We, however, have only to deal with human
affairs, and as the trial was just, fair and impar
tial, I cannot hesitate to pronounce the sentence
which the high nature of the crime requires.—
There is, in my opinion, no crime of a graver
character than that of which you have been
j convicted, and it might perhaps be considered
i my duty, under this belief, to pass upon you the
I highest sentence of the law.
I trurt that the sentence that I am about to
pronounce will be sufficient to vindicate the law,
while at the same time I bear in mind the situ
ation of your family, and the statement you have
made to-day respecting them has deeply affected
my feelings.
I regard also the recommemiatien to mercy by
i the jury. They also felt the peculiar ciicumstan- j
j ces your family and those by whom you are
l surrounded. This jury, composed of respectable
citizens, upon whom you have thought proper to
j reflect, have recommended you to mercy, and
j their recommendation has had full weight.
The sentence of the court is, that you undergo
an imprisonment of four years and six months
| in the Philadelphia County Prison, and that you
I pay the costs of the prosecution, and stand con- !
victed until the terms ol the sentence is com- ;
plied with.
The prisoner did not evince any feeling at the
mention of the period for which he was to be !
incarcerated. After the conclusion of Judge !
Thompson's remarks, a number of the friends of ;
Dr. Beale gathered around and condoled with 1
him and his wife.
The prisoner socn after left the court room and j
was taken to prison in a chaise. His wife ac
companied him.
Quite au excitement was created in N. York, ■
on 1 hursiiay by the mysterious disappearance of i
an aged millionaire named J. L. Norton. It ap
pears the missing man has resided with his grand
son—Mr. Carroll—in Pearl-street, fora longtime
aud recently willed to him all his real estate
situated in the city. Some two weeks ago the
grandson of the old gentleman moved away and
left bi n with another family. On Friday it was
discovered that he had been missing fur forty- |
eieht hours. In his room was found a black
leather trunk, containing his wili and a quantity
of deeds lor houses and lota. Suspicions are
awakened against certain parties, who, it is fetr- J
ed, have been engaged in foul play in this mat- j

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. I
THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBErT^
See first page Daily, this morning.
Tbe Fair.
Mr. W. H. Pritchard is our Reporter at the
Agricultural Fair, and we hope exhibitors, as
weU as those who have the management, will
afford him every facility, as it is our intention to
give as full reports as possible.
The Fair—Baby Show.
This is the day set apart for the Baby Show.
We understand there are several entries, and as
each mother will think her darling the loveliest
and brightest, we look with anxiety to the re
sult. Ptffium, the great humbugger, we see by
the Northern and Europen papers, ha 3 gained the
eredit of being the originator of this popular fea
ture of our public Fairs. Such is not the fact.
The first premium offered for Babies, in America,
was at the last Fair held in this city, and if
credit is due to any one for its introduction, that
credit should be given to Col. Davidson, one of
the Directors of the Fair, and John S. Hutchin
son, the Auctioneer on the occasion, at whose
suggestion the Colonel offered the premium
awarded. The exhibition will come off
at 12 o’clock, and the premiums will be awar
ded. We have seen thajist of the Committee
appointed to decide between the different com
petitors, composed of one gentleman and six
ladies, and as neither of them is blessed or bur
thened with children, we think their decision
will be impartial.
Parents might have, each for himself or herself,
their owm especial darlings in“ the mind’s eye” as
the beau ideal of a fine baby; and no matter
how common place a little sweety it might be in
fact, the natural bias would be on each one, to
think that baby the best entitled to the premium
which looked most like it. Whereas each Parent
less judge would have in the mind as a beau ideal l
an imaginary baby all roses and ringlets, and
dimples, and bright eyes and fat cheeks. That
would be the sort of bauy, one’s heart wou’d in
wardly sigh for who wanted a baby, and the
living specimen coming nearest to it would be
sorely awarded the premium by such a commit
tee.
We think this Baby Show a good feature in
our Annual Fairs, as the ostensible objects aimed
at are to encourage home industry and domestic
manufactures, and we can see no good reason
why Babies should not be included in the list of
premiums.
Previous to the Baby Show, at eleven o’clock'
the annual address will be delivered by Col. R.
H. Powell, of Alabama.
We are requested to state, that ail persons hav
ing articles for sale at the Fair Grounds, will find
a book, in every department, where they can
register their names and their commodities. The
sale will take place to morrow'. Messrs. C. E.
Girardey and J. S. Hutchinson, will officiate as
salesmen.
On Friday the Premiums wiil be awarded.
Arrival of the Cadets.
The Cadets of the Geoigia Military Institute
airived in our city on Wednesday morning abjut
one o'clock, by the Georgia Railroad train. The
Battalion consists of Companies A and B, and we
give below a list of the officers and privates.
The Cadets are encamped on the lot of Mr.
Joseph Carrie, opposite the residence of that
gentleman Yesterday morning they marched
to the Fair grounds, where they w r ent through
various military evolutions, including firing by
B ittaiion, Company end file, all of which were
executed with great steadiness and precision.—
The Cade s are a fine looking body of young
men, and their encampment is a pleasant place
to visit during the sunshine, but we cannot say
we envy their enjoyments in sleeping on straw
in canvass tents during such cold weather as we
are now experiencing.
i We understand the company will parada in
our streets to-day, between the hours of 9 and
10 o’cloek, A. M., under the command of their
respective Captains. In the afternoon, between
the hours of 3 and 4 o’clock, they will be re
ceived by the Mayor and Members of the City
i Council, at the United States Hotel. Alter the
i ceremonies of reception are concluded, the Bat
talion will march through Broad and Greene
streets, and go through the manual exercise, un
der the commanding officer. Col. A. V. Brumby?
who if the principal of the Georgia Military In
stitute.
We understand the Cadets will remain with
us for a day or two longer. We would suggest
to the members of our volunteer companies the
propriety of honoring them with a military es
cort. Although they are young men, they de
serve such courtesies from the bands of our citi
) zen soldiers.

Theatre, J t
Ob Tuesday evening the theatre contained by j t
tar the largest audience of tbs season, to witness ■
the performance of Richard 111. Mr. Roberts
sustained the character of Richard in a manner i
which pleased us more than his former delinea- '
tion of that character. Tiie whole performance
went off well, so far as the actors were conce'n- :
ed, but a portion was materially marred by the ;
rowdy behaviour of one or two gentlemen who j 1
bad stopped once or twice too often on their way ;
from the fair grounds to the theatre. We are i :
surprised, trat one or two such rowdies should ;
be allowed to interfere with the enjoyment of j 1
the whole audience. Men who conduct them
selves in the manner of those to whom we al- I
lude,'should be promptly ejected.
The evenings entertainments concluded with
the laughable farce of ‘ Betsy Baker,” which gave (
great satisfaction to the audience, if we may j
judge from the hearty laughter and applause
which it received.
Last night “Othello” was performed, and the
favorite Comedy of “Rough Diamonds.” To i
night we are to have the “Lady of Lyons,” in
which Mr. Roberts sustains the character of
Claude Melriotte ; followed by the capital farce
of “The Spectre Bridegroom.”
We advise ail who wish to obtain good seats j
to go early as no doubt the house will be crowded, j
The Circus.
W E have not, as yet, had tho pleasure of paying
a visit to Rogers & Spalbing’s Circus, now on
exhibition in our city, but learn from those who
have, that it is one ol the best Companies that has
visited our city. Good order is preserved, and
some of the feats performed are astonishing. It is
nightly crowdei, and a good portion of the audi- j
enca is composed of the Fair Sex, whose presenco j
is always a guarantee of good order.
Look out for Pick Pockets.
One of our citizens had his pockets picked on
the Fair Ground yesterday. It contained about
Twenty Dollars in money, and four City Bonds of
Five Hundred Dollars each. Notice has been giv
en to the City Treasurer not to pay them, and we
are authorized to offer a reward of Twenty Dollars
for their recovery. Now that our city is filled
with strangers, those who go into crowds cannot be
too careful of their purses.
Wolfe’s Schiedam Schnaps.
Mr. Charles Stoughton, the agent of Mr.
Wolfe, has arrived in our city, and taken up quar
ters at the Augusta Hotel, where he may be
found fora lew days. Wolfe’s Schnaps has gain
ed a good reputation throughout the country, and
as they are highly recommended by Medical
men, and are popular with Temperance men,
we would advise those who wish to purchase to
give Mr. S. a call and leave them orders.
Cotton Burned.
On Tuesday last, about one o’clock, tire was j
discovered in an open car, laden with thirty-five j
bales of Cotton, at the Georgia Railroad Depot. !
It was communicated by a pass ng engine, and
about twenty-five bales were consumed. The!
remainder was saved in a damaged condition.
The Fair,
.Thera wea a large £nd fashionable attendance :
of visitors at the Fair ground* yesterday, and we
were pleased to notice the iively interest felt by
all in the exhibition. It was cheering to those
wbo*e industry, means, taste and enterprise had
enabled them to contribute so liberally to the
pleasure, instruction and profit of the occasion;
and it was a proper tribute to the spirit which
originated the Central Agricultural Society.
To-day, wa anticipate a full attendance, as it
is the regular annual meeting of the Society,and
the time when the Anniversary Address will he
delivered.
We were not ebla yesterday to more than
merely glance at the many works ot art, which
so highly decorate the Ladies or Horne Depart
ment. Several beautiful Painting* will com
mand our attention ’h-day, as well as the con
tributions from the mineral and vegetable king
dome—and, if enabled to do r .o, will also notice
the mechanical departments.
LADIES DEPARTMENT.
Mrs. Wm. Gregg. Charleston—A Silk Quilt,
patch work—one of the most magnificent con
tributions to the Fair.
Miss Rosa Clara Gregg, of Charleston, a

riEST ARTICLE.
BY PROr. JULIEN DEBY.
A generally received axiom, is that the plant
derives the whole of its substance from the ex
ternal mediums in which it lives, and that ail its
constituents have penetrated into it by the sto
mata (small openings on the under side of the
leaves), or by the spongioies of the rootlets. It
is also admitted that all bodies which constitute
the “ bill of fare” of the vegetable kingdom,
must be either gaseous or liquid. The plant, es
has been said, “drinks and breathes,” but does
not “ eat.” Chemists and physiologists have
come to a third conclusion; this is, that all nu
trient substances must be given to the vegetable
in a compound form, and not as simple bodies.
The cellular tissue has the power of decomposing
these compounds into their ultimate constitutive
elements, to take up those necessary for its per
fect development, and to throw out such as may
be useless.
From these three facts, may be deduced the
following practical results :
Ist. All manures (vegetable food) must be ca
pable of assimilation by the plant, i. e., must be
soluble in water and contain sjch substances as
the vegetable feeds upon.
2d. A manure must never contain soluble sub
stances noxious to vegetation, which by their
absorption might injure the plant.
3J. The gradual decompos.tion and consequent
solubility of a manure, must be as exactly as
possible proportionate to the peiiod ot growth of
the vegetables it is furnished to, so as to furnish
them with the necessary aliments, just as they
may want them, and this without unnecessary
loss.
4th. That the nature of the soil may, by ils
chemical as well as physical properties, have a
great influence on the quantity or nature of the
manure to be given.
The above propositions would uted for their
full exhibition a luug dissertation, only fitted for
a journal of scientific agriculture, and must here
be passed over in silence.
Manures are of two kinds, organic or inor
ganic. Among these last, pre-eminent, are lime
and the nearly allied mineral, magnesia. Hav
ing lately read in this paper a valuable notice on
“limestone and shell,” in which I have found
some facts stated which [ consider as incorrect,
I have thought it necessary to call attention to
this subject, the impoitance of which in Georgia
is, I believe, not sufficiently appreciated. These
aiticles are not to be considered as critical no
tices, but as researches after truth, the highest
aim of man’s labors, and as such, not be thought
unkind or presumptuous.
I shall content myself with giving a concise
but general view of the whole matter, consider
ed scientifically, and shall, in a subsequent paper,
furnish to my readers the practical applications,
deduced from theory, w hich'Will show that these
can explain all seeming failures in experiment
ing with lime as well as all successful trials.
Science and practice here walk hand in hand,
and the rasuits I shall furnish will, I hope, con
cord with every man’s experience on the subject.
Nearly all plants contain magnesia and lime,
but this does not seem to imply, as an absolute
necessity, that much of this last substance is in- i
dispensable in the soil, as by a number of very j
careful experiments, made on vegetable ashes,
and on the constituents of soils, it has been nearly
i proved to a certainty, that (as is the cc.se with
I potash and soda) lime and magnesia are isornor- •
phous in the vegetable organism; that is, that |
these two bodies can, in all proportions, replace j
1 one another when either is wanting in the ground. ■
Lime appears, however, to be indispensable when ;
the soil contains no magnesia, and is always use- ;
ful, even when this last is preseut. Caustic lime j
(quick lime or oxide of Calcium) is soluble in \
water, bnt in veiy small proportions, or only |
j about 1 630 of its weight. This quick lirne, if j
iult exposed to the air, passes insensibly into a j
I carbonate of lime by absorbsion ot the carbonic
| acid gas of the atmosphere. It is then said to
| heve slacked.
The oxide of magnesium (magnesia) i» inso
! hible in water: it also passes into a carbonate
| when left in contact with the air, but much
j slower than the time. Both these carbonates
may be considered as insoluble in water.
By combination with an excess of carbonic
acid, however, the carbonate* ot lime and mag- I
j oesia, turn into bi-carbonates, both of which are
; freely soluble in water. In this state, these
minerals are ofteu found, to a great extent, in
spring and liver water. The boiling of ruch
water*, drives off a portion of the carbonic acid,
and the insoluble first named, simple carbonate,
is piecipitated in the shape of a hard crust, which
lines the boilers.
The bi-carbonate of lime, and bi-carbonate ofj
magnesia are frequent in nature, being formed
every time a simple carbonate comes into contact j
with water, holding in suspension carbonic acid,
(few waters are free from this gas) and are then ■
readily taken up by the plant. Lime acts not
only as an alimentary substance for the Vegeta- !
ble, but also indirectly by its chemical action on
many other constituents ot the soil.
Silicium (as an example) which exists in near- :
ly all plants, especially in the stems, &c., of the
Cerealia, is obtained not from the sand (oxide of
silicium) of the soil, which is quite insoluble
but from several silicate* (sombinatisns es silieie j
acid oxygen and silicium) with different ox
ides, which silicates are more or less soluble in
water. The most common silicates are those of
alumina, of lime, of t agnosia, of iron, of manga
nese, &c. Lime has the power oi rendering the
silica o I the aiuminic and other silicates soluble;
the silicic acid is eliminated by the carbonic acid*
so ihat by the addition of carbonate or bi-carbo
nate of lime tnesilicates oi potash, of magnesia,
Ac., become carbonates of potash, of magnesia,
Ac., the silicic acid b«fing at the moment of its
formation taken up ty the spongioies. As a
consequence of this, we find that the hydraulic
limestones are the more active i * their agricul
tural uses, the m»re silica'es of alumina they
contain.
The chemical action ol the oxide, silicate, and
carbonate of lime, in the soil is so complex and
difficult, that I fear l would by many not be
read or understood, if I were here to expose my
special views on the subject; the fruit of a long in
vtstigation ot the matter,and I must reserve these
observations tor an elaborate treatise, which I
hope some day to publish.
I may, however, conclude here, by stating that
| every particle ol lime or magnesia, found in the
ashes of plants, must have penetrated into them
as a bi-carbouate, or as a combination of oxide
I calcium, w ith some ot the metallic acids form
| ing salts, some of u hich are soluble*.
Ihe results ot ail my reseaiches nay be re
| sumed under the following heads :
Lime and Magnesia.
j Ist. Neutralize the acids that may exist in the
! soil, such as tannic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid,
I &•., and hinder their noxious effect* on vegeta*
j tit n.
: 21. Form a calcareous basis necessary to the
[ whole of our cultivated plants, but more so'to
I some of these than to others.
3d. Produce, during the period of vegetation
oigaiiic salts in the interior of the plant, by their
combination with the superabundant vegetable
acids, and thus act very beneficially in favoring
the vital phenomena.
4th. Help the decomposition of the silicates oi
the soil—giving rise to free silicic acid, which
serves as food lor the plant, while at the same
time,the freed basis are also rendered soluble, and
subsequently in their turn, absorbed and fixed in
the living tissues.
t.' Hasten the transforrn/rrion of >h.ad organic
substances into humus; the nitrogen, the saline
substances, the ui mates, Stc., being by the same
ac“, and by their means, rendered soluble %nd
fitted for the food of plants.
6‘h. Raise or lower the temperature of the
earth’s surface, according to particular circum
stances.
7th. Change the mechanical u/friiit* of the soil
making it either more friable or more compact,
thU being dependent on its primitive nature.
In our next notices, we will furnish the prac
: tical applications of the foregoing tacts, deduced
j from a large number of experiments made on
! both sides of the ocean,and which we hope may
| prove useful to some of our readers.
