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 a cnosf Tnce»san t(jir—court room was full; but notoi^jd^l^jj.j^ a ilr' rt!ay —n' same delay afler the opening of ””The court before the sentence was pronounced. | 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 U the aong of the •'Landlady ol France,” with the **CJood Braudy, Oh !’’ and other Daccuauaiian took* equally rndacorus at.d unbecoming But i* i* said there was no uudua excitement lrour. iirtuor in all this. 4 wfio ur|« this in Behalf of this jury Jo XL jam’ 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 <«. - 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. ACADEMIC STAFF. Col. A. V. Brumby, Commanding. Major C. A. Derbt, Capt. W. T. Black, Prof. W. H.

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.

[communicated.J On the use of Lime and Magnesia for Agri cultural Purposes. 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.
