The good, ness of land depends upon its subsoil; and i the subsoil that is too hard and tight to yield to the torrents of rain that sometimes full, is too hard and tight to produce much of a crop, after the little vegetable mould that lies on the top is exhausted. I ntil very deep ploughing, therefore, be comes prevalent, we may expect our lands to wash, if they are of any account ; and even then, perhaps. For I think, with the open te.xtuie imparted by a warm cli mate, and the floods of rain prevailing in the lower latitudes, it would require deeper ploughing than can be performed by horse power to prevent washing in these South- ern States. It becomes, therefore, a matter of no or dinary impoitance to know how gullies can be effectually stopped. It is said by those who have male the attempt by throwing in logs and brush, that they can not bo stopped. Their ineffectual efforts have filled their minds and their mouths with the maxim that water mil have its way; and, seeing it flow round their logs and rubbish, they have, many of them, betaken themselves to cutting ditches to give it a straight send; forgetting that flow as it will, if unimpeded, it carries with it, in solution, the very finest mould on the plantation. I say guides can he effectually stopped; and I say it, because 1 have tried it, and the method is easy. It docs let the water have its way, as it will have; hut it stops the sand, and that detains the mould ; and the labor is not half equal to that of cut ting ditches. The method is short. Begin at one side of the gully, at a dis tance to u-'iich the water cannot rise, and drive down a short stake. Carry a row of stakes, thus driven in, across the gully to an equal distance on the other side. Let the stakes be near enough to each other to admit of wattling. Then wattle them with brush. Pine brush is the best, because it more completely intercepts the sand. The water will passthrough the brush, but the mould will he detained, and your land saved, Several of these rows should be run across the gullies, at proper distances, from lo to botfom. This is a good season to begin. A Book Farmer. [Fioni the Co’umbua (Geo ) Democrat.] TINE LANDS. It is the prevailing opinion among far mers that the pine leaf or straw is delete rious to land—consequently we annually seethe ‘region of the pines’ burnt over for the purpose of destroying that poison ous subject! Do such farmers ever icflect upon the wise provisions of Providence ? For what purpose does the foliage annu ally fall ? Is it merely that the new leaves may put forth to beautify and adorn the trunks? By no means. It is that they may go through their gradual and sure de cay, returning to the earth not only the nutriment which the earth had given them but that rich quality which they had ta ken from the atmosphere. It is well known that pine soils lack potash : and beyond cavil or debate, that the pine leaf contains more potash than the leaf of any other tree ; and potash is one of the first princi ples in the growth of all plants and veget ables. What a suicidal policy then to de stroy the very substance destined by na ture to enrich pine lands, and then mur mur at unproductiveness ? Farmers who cultivate pine lands, preserve your lands as you would your dwellings from the ruthless flames. Cover your cow pens, your horse lots and your stables with pine straw. The treading of the animals, with their manure addeJ, will soon decompose it which will make a fine compost for your vegetable garden. Husband your pine straw as you would husband jour crop, for with it you can make any crop in the bounds of reason, that you may desire.— Tiie finest Irish potatoes that are made in this climate are made under pine straw.— This crop has proved almost an entire fai lure in this section this season, and yet ‘ aulil Ireland’ never produced a more ‘mealy pratie’ than my crop turns out this season, planted under straw. There have been many failures in attempting to culti- vate the Irish potatoe in this manner, but it has been owing entirely to not truly co vering with straw. Like the fellow that took a feather and laid his head on a rock, they say if a few straws make such mise rable potatoes, what would loads do ? Those who would have good Irish pota toes, no matter whether the season be wet or dry, plant as follows, and j'ou will not only get a good return of delicious pota toes but you will enrich the soil and save culture :—As soon after Christmas as pos sible, plough the piece of ground designa ted for potatoes; open trenches six or eight inches deep, and two feet apart, across the ground, fill the trenches with partially decomposed wheat, oat. or pine straw. Cut the potato once in two, place the cut side downwards on the straw, about six inches apart, now cover all with the remaining earth on the top of the ridges un til it is all level, then cast on pine straw until it is eighteen inches deep all over the piece—it will require no afterculture, and each succeeding year with the addition of a portion of straw, will increase in pro ductiveness. As the winter and spring rains beat down the straw compactly, de composition commences at the bottom, and no matter how dry the season may prove, there is always moisture, and consequent ly and good potatoes. Remember, ye who have pine forests, that pine straw is the very best manure for pine lands. Fruit—the importance or its cul tivation. —It has been suggested by a distinguished agriculturist, that fruit will soon become an article of diet, quite as in dispensable as any other article now in common use. A supply of good fruits—apples, pears, plums, peaches, grapes, &c., is necessary to the comfort and convenience of every family. Farmers who have land, and who can command the requisite means and time to attend to the matter, without detriment to the more essential duties of their calling, are certainly culpable in no slight degree if they fail to secure, to themselves the mar.y advantages resulting from the pos session of a fruit orchard oil the most lib eral plan. The expense of attending to fruit trees is indeed a mere trifle, and no one desirous of seeing those around him happy, will ever consider it an objection worthy of the slightest thought. It is true that latterly far greater atten tion hes been paid to this important de partment of productive industry than was formerly the case; yet notwithstanding the multiplicity of fruit orchards, vineyards, Sic., and the greatly augmented quantity of fruit annually brought to our markets, there is still a scarcity in many sections and the price of prime fruit is exorbitantly >'*gb. New Variety of Cotton.*—A new kind of Cotton has been introduced into Tennessee, called the *• Golden Boll.” It lis a native of Central America. The fol | lowing description is given of it: I li The average height of the stalks was about four and a half feet, planted four feet apart. The distinguishing properties which characterize this description of cot ton areits prolific production, the long silky texture of its fibre, and the astonishingly large size and great number of bolls. Se veral of the plants had from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty, of which from sixty to eighty were fully ma tured, ten of which, being frequently tested by scales, weighing four and a half ounces of seed cotton. The bolls that did not reach full maturity of size all opened, and are yet opening, yielding cotton apparent ly of as good quality, hut not of the same amounts, as the more early bolls.” “ The broken lyre—the broken lyre!” as the poet saij, when his mean publisher “ Lusted up.” niiiaiE)© 0 wiisaw ©asitiio AN IRON BRIDGE OP A SINGLE TUBE. The present age is mighty in enterprise and gigantic in intellect. The wonderful events that have crowded upon one another so rapidly during the last eighteen years, have no parallel in grandeur, nor in the display of masculine genius. All the works of the ancients piled together are dwarfed when ranged along side of the dis coveries of Watt, and made more pigmy still, since Fulton harnessed the ocean to | our ‘ leviathans of the deep.’ With the works of these mechanics, everj’ school boy is now acquainted ; but beside these, other great inventions havelike new plan ! ets burst upon its oftentimes, during the ! space mentioned above. We will not al i lude to them at present, but we would bid | those who look upon the structures of old Jas the alpha and omega of human genius, I to follow us for a few brief moments, while ! we describe a work which has lately been ! executed, and the like of which, Rome in all her glory could not boast of. Since the introduction of railroads into England, that country has projected and completed works of such magnitude, that they appear more like the labor of Titans than men. Among these we may mention the Tunnel of the Thames and various othertunnels. Moun tains have been pierced to make way for the rolling locomotive, as well as rivers la'sed upon the shoulders of these iron bar ricades, that have effected a greater revo lution in the social condition of her popu lation by far, than those that might de throne a monarch or defeat a tyrant host. But famous though these tunnels be, we believe they must yield in originality of conception and scientific daring to the i bridge ma le of a single tube of iron which was thrown across the river Conway, last Spring. The bridge stands out as the j monument of a distinct and grand idea that j will give immortality to the inventor. Mr. ; Robert Stevenson, son of George, the sue- j cessftil inventor of the locomotive, was j the first to propose an iron tubular bridge. The first form proposed was a lube of a , circular form, but Mr. Fairbairn, of Man-j Chester, a skilful engineer, becoming as- j sociated with Stevenson, experiments were j tried which resulted in proving the square form far superior to the circular in every respect. After many experiments to dis cover the best contrivance to resist vertical and lateral torsion, a model was formed of a square shape with longitudinal cellular compartments, square at the top and bot tom. This model was 80 feet long, 4 feet 6 inches deep, 2 feet 8 inches m breadth, and rested on two supports, leaving a space of 75 feet between them. It weighed about 5 tons, and was subjected to the se verest tests to prove its strength. A weight was attached to its centre, and increased ton by ton, and the deflection carefully noted. Atterthreesuccessive experiments, it was discovered that its breaking weight was 56 tons, that is, the model only weigh ing 5 tons of 75 feet in length could siand the enormous pressing weight at its centre of 56 tons —more than eleven times its own weight—a result highly satisfactory Mr. Fairbairn concluded from th s experi ment that hollow beams of wrought iron constructed on the same principle, whether used for bridges, or buildings, were three times stronger than any other description of girders—to this fact we desire to call ihe particular attention of our engineers. • The great tube was built and finished in about twelve months after it was com menced. It is 412 feet long and weighs 1300 tons, and is formed of wrought iron plates from 4 to 8 feet long and about 1 inch in thickness. The plates were riveted firmly together to ribs of T angle iron on both sides of the joints, and to those who have seen the workmanship, the regularity of the rivets gives the great tube a highly ornamental character. This was done by employing a punching machine upon the principal of the Jacquard loom, which per formed its work with wonderful precision and rapidity. The ceiling of the tube is composed of eight cellular tubes, each 20 incites in width I and 21 inches high, formed of wrought iron plates three quarters of an inch thick in the middle and half an inch towards the end of the tube. The floor consists of six cellular tubes 27 inches in width and 21 inches in height—with a plate ol iron cov ering every joint on the under side. The sides are united to the bottom and ceiling hy double angle irons within and without.! The entire length of the tube is 412 feet, 11 feet wide, 25 feet high in the middle and 23 1-4 at the ends. To the sensitiveness of iron to atmos pheric changes or temperature, the skilful engineers were not blind, in applying a compensation base to provide for the ex pansion and contraction of this stupendous fabric of iron, consequently the ends of the tube were made to rest upon 24 pairs of iron rollers connected together hy a wrought iron frame, and the tube also partly sus pended to six cast iron beams, under the ’ extremities of which were placed 12 gun 1 metal balls ot 6 inches in diameter to act | as castors to the ponderous bridge, and fa | ciiitate its expansions and contractions. The huge mass w as floated from the spot 1 where it was constructed to the spot where | it was to be erected on six pontoons, on the the 6th day of March, 1848, amid a crowd of wandering Welsh peasants, and as it | was built about 100 yards from its site and had to be fitted to its position in one mass, ! we consider this successful operation one I of the most signal triumphs of scientific j skill ever exhibited. How the hearts of the projectors must have throbbed with feverish anxiety, lest some unlucky accident, or some unforeseen defect should cap the climax of their weary studies and watch ings, and doom them to disappointment and disgrace!—besides General Pasley's ‘ spleen, who high and lordly, proved its failure before its commencement, a com ( mon thing with the merely scientific, who have not the good fortune of the practical i along with it. But the ponderous iron i giant was built, was floated and fitted into . its foundations, without a single accident to mar the sublime undertaking. This great mass weighing 1300 tons had to be lifted from the pontoons 24 feet in the air. llow was this done ? Simply by j the pressure of water forced through two small tubes only three-eights of an inch in ■ diameter. These were two Bramah force i pumps one at each end of the pier, driven ]by two steam engines. As an evidence of the wonderful power of water as an in compressible body, let us describe the ope ration : Each hydraulic ram or pump con sisted of a cylinder three feet in diameter ! to the outside with a cylindrical cavity of ] about a foot and a half in diameter—of the i actual thickness of nine inches of solid iron all round. Into the cavity of this j cylinder was fitted the ram, as it is called— -1 a mass of solid iron 17 inches in diameter, so that it did not fit the cylinder quite ac ; curately, but left a vacuity for the pas sage of water to the bottom, Attached to the top of this ram was a cross head two | feet thick, with two square apertures for the chains to pass to lift the tube. The chains were of Hat bar wrought iron ‘ 7 inches wide and 1 1-2 thick, and 6 feet long. The stroke of the ram was 6 feet in its full range. Two high pressure ho rizontal engines were to do the work. — ! Each cjdinder had a piston rod running i through each end connected with the plun- [ j gets of force pumps having a stroke of 16 j inches. At the top of each hydraulic press there was a small tube three-eights i of an inch in diameter and connected with i the force pumps. These two little tubes j j were the channels of the mighty power to j i lift the whole structure. Insignificant in appearance—no bigger than a large quill, we well may admire the scientific attain ments that through them, with a stream of! water no thicker than sometimes trickles from the cheek of beaut) - , this mighty mass of iron was borne up in mid air, like the fabled coffin of the prophet of Mecca ! After the engines commenced working and the small streams were rapidly forced into the tiny tubes, the mighty tube rose slowly hut gradually into the air, At eve ry six feet the engines were stopped and the chains re-adjusted at the head of the ram, and by a succession of such rises, the tube finally reached the desired elevation, 24 feet, and dangled in the air as the plaj - - thing of the two hydraulic engines, and then it was laid upon its foundations as a monument of engineering skill unsurpass ed in any age or country. Since then the locomotive with its train has thundered across its iron pavement, and we hope it will stand for ages, the praise and admi ration of future generations.— Edinburgh Journal. ?a as aib sa(pairs? ♦ Punch on Egypt.- —Punch has been making a cheap excursion down the Nile. ! Ie saw the Sphinx in Egypt, ‘the great est blockhead that seas ever known.’ As no phrenologist has ever examined the bumps of the Sphinx, Punch recommends the British Association in Egypt to hold its next sitting expressly on that head; ‘lf disappointed with the Sphinx,’ he adds •they might have a Matinee Musicale with Memnon, and listen to his singing, ‘7 dreamt that I dwelt in Marble Halls’ We have been informed there is but one fault in the style of Memnon's singing, and that is, like many of our singers he sings too much from the head; otherwise when he is in good voice and has not a cold, he goes higher than any one else.

( Finally a poor, ragged, illiterate peasant ! went to see it. The light was so arranged jas to reflect on the picture, and leave the | spectator in comparative darkness. The ; peasant, as he entered the room to see his i first p.-vents, was struck with so much as- I lonishment that he remained speechless for some moments. He stood like a statue, and as though his feet were incorporated ! with the oaken floor of the room. At last with an effort, he turned to an acquaint ! ance and said : j 4 Borney, I'll niver say another word ; agin Adam in all my life, for if 1 had been ! in the garden, I would have ate every ap ple in it for 1 tie sake of such a lovely cra | tur as Eve.” It is needless to add that this was re ceived with roars of laughter. ‘Nothing Else.’ —‘Not a little amused | the other day, sitting at dinner in the princely banquetling hallos the New \ork Hotel, the finest in the United States, with a discussion touching the origin of the phrase, “It aint nothing else,’ ’ or “ lie wasn't anywhere else,’’ etc. One quoted I Watts, as having been the first to suggest this negative style of affirmation, in the lines: “ ’Tie heaven to rest in thine embrace, And nowhere else but there.” Another contended that the first use of it was by Lamb, who in his reply to Cole ridge's query, “Charles, did you ever hear me preach ?” replied, “I never heard you do anything else,’ ’ etc. We remember to have heard ‘ ‘ Jim Grant ’ ’ say one morn ing, when it was not known whether Mr. Van Boren had or had not received the nomination of the Baltimore Convention, and in reply to a question whether he would be likely to get it: “Get it?’’ said Jim; “get the nom-i-nation? lie won't get nothing else ” —and he didn’t.’ Mr. Tucker wrio would not toms.
