PROSPECTUS OF THE KACiffli ASTSsnaBSt And Agricultural and Mercantile Intelligencer. MY recent relinquishment of a participation in the editorial labors cf an old and well established journal, would seem to require but fei preliminary remarks, m the proposed under akiue, were it not, that they are usually deman. >d bv public expectation, and sanctioned by snstnm As there- is no good reason why this ‘'time-honored observance" should be disregard. , in the r resent instance, I shall submit an epit- Zo of my principles, and the course which shall L observed in conducting anew journal. The nhiect ef the proposed publication being purely what its title implies, supercedes the necessity of that political commentary' which the doctrines of the day have usually demanded; yet, as in former professions are held with unabated at tachment, and there being no neutral ground, in the conflicting and varied sentiments, which dai ly arise, as to both men and measures—it follows, that I should not only make an exposition of nay political tenets, but also, that they should be Coldly set forth, and fearlessly defended. I have, ever indulged an ardent devotion to Republican ism as the term was understood by its advocates m n W _ a sacred regard to the letter and spirit of the Constitution, and a determined and fixed hos tility to every thing like constructive or itoplied powers—an extension of equal justice to all par ties—that all power is, inherent in and derived from the people, as the originaUSouree ahd ulti mate tribunal—the independence and distinct so vereignty Sf the States, and their confederacy as a Union, under a government limited %nd actual y defined in its powers. These are the promi nent articles of my political faith, and believing in their correctness, shall abide by them in every trial. * . . Among the many topics of deep interest that agitate the peojffo of all classes, is tire exercise of unwarrantable governmental influence on the industry and resources of the country', and the unconstitutional expenditure of the public treas ure to objects of Internal Improvement —measures too' frequently destitute of general benefit,and of tentimes marked by a. spirit of partiality, selfish ness and injustice. It would be criminal for one “seated on the watch-tower,” and in the exercise of the duties whieh belong to the Press, to ob serve, with callous indifference, the causes which have produced, and the effects which Inure re sulted from the latitudinary construction of the 'Constitution. The dangerous consequences w hich may ensue, are already indicated by the excited ■ feelings of the country. lam deep! y impressed that w rong has been done, ar.d evil tolerated— yet, w ith 4 spirit of forbearance, it would he bet ter for the oppressed to bear their evils whilst they are tolerable, than'“fly to those they know not of.” . The present is an era in flic history of our gTiv oTnment, distinguished for improvement. The lover of his country beholds it oil its “return inarch” fo its original parity and principles.— Already has the distinguished head of. the gov ernment, said—“Th# successful alteration of the federal system can only be preserved by confin ing it to the few and simple, but yet important objects for which it was desigiUd.” This is a guarantee, that the puyiose of the present Exe* native of the Union and his supporters,’is an ef fort to" r-store the to its original healthy and unimpaired condition. Pain happy to accord with the Administration ar.d its friends in the wise and well directed course which is pursued by them, * llie time was, when to dissent from the moa of any of the prominent parties of our State, ly an attachment to any of the oVners, or to their b on distinguished organs, implied an hostility uni acrimony which frequently had no fc unds, and rendered “ Wisdom-, Justice, and. Mmkr,Jion, v ' an empty and absurd profession. The times and circumstances have now become more congenial| I'cttcr feelings: the perplexing difficulties which have surrounded us—those emanating .bread, and fostered, at home, have subsided, wuh the acknowledgment of our rights, and the iiiecesstul accomplishment of nearly all the ejids A.uch we have contended for. I can review my mst course in relation to State affairs, with chccr ng approbation; my future efl'orts will be inti uiiely connected with tlnf past; and it is hoped, ‘ v offence to an adverse party.

Vintage, Y. O. Edgefield District, S.C; 23d, Feb. 1831. Mr. Editor,-g There is perhaps ho subject in which there is so great a diversity of opin ion as that of Agriculturef and it is a misfor tune, that treatises on it, arc so much at vari ance. This may in great measure he attribu ted to theoretical speculations, and inunatur iil practical experiments. One writer will state, tfiat cotton seed as a manure is hi st applied in one W<A, another will give quite contrary advice, and both say they have suc ceeded, still there is an inquiry about the best mode of application. One planter will tell you; that the best way to clear, and pre pare new land, is to grub tho under-growth, and plough in the leaves. Another will cut down the under-growth, and burn off the h avets considering the roots will act better, as a nianUfe. than the leaves; still this re mains unsettled as regards the utility. One will pursue horizontal culture in a hilly country, another will advise it to he done diagnolly, a third perseveres in the old plan ofthe up a;ul down hill system; ask them all, and they will toll you their way is best. On t!;c aca-bsard of the lwcr country, where ' nature has provided an inexhaustible source of marine manure, which has been brought into sufficient use to test the best mode of preparation and application, the same difficulty appears to exist; that thisshould be the case, where there is such an abundance of labour, combined with wealth and science, is aston ishing. Some excuse tuny be offered for the up-country planters, who require all their force to be applied to a specific object to gain a support, leaving them no supernumer ary means to carry fully into effect, those ex periments, thst would othciV’ise ultimately benefit them. I have been led to these remarks, from the productions in your volumes, as well us other periodicals on the same subject. The great object, it appears to me, is to arrive at a svs tem of husbandry in that application of the means that is afforded us on the most eco nomical plan. What benefit does agricul ture derive from the exhibition of an extraoj. dinary large potatoe or turnip, or a single acre of corn producing eighty ora hundred bush els, w hen the means applied for these pro ductions cost more than their value. Let us exhibit the returns of a whole crop, and the mode adopted to give these returns,’and not merely partial attempts to gain a reputation; this should be our guide:—by which the ag ricultural interest wouldUb advanced, and in struction afforded to the planter; it will aet as a stimulus to imitation, and will no doubt .be attended with beneficial results. As for as my experience goes, I would re* commend the application of cotton seed as a manure to corn ; after the vegetating quality pis destroyed, to be put to the corn w hen from six to tw <idve inches high, according the time tfiat can be appropriated to this wor'j, by digging w ith.a. kee on each side •of the corn, sulficiently deep to admit of a largo handful or more to be put in each holoj .hsfd sufficiently covered over to prefent evapora tion from the sun. • Fresh cotton seed should never be used, because tho-greater part will sprout, and the manuring-quality will be destroyed, it the oil which this kind of manure possesses, that makes it so valuable, besides w ftrn it comes up in a great maSs it. opens the ecrtli about*the roots. Fresh cotton seed cum, however, soon bcprcjfaryd for use. Have it cafrit-d out into the fields, and phiccd in piles at convenient distances, make these piles pretty large, and hire -the tops of them made concave, and through the centre drive a stakg into the earth, arulrin the absence of rain have pails |?f*water frequently throw if io, this moisture, with the sun acting on it, will in a short time beat the seed, if it is perceivl cd, that the of those piles d<L not become Ireateff in tiirib, open them ana throw the ©uterpart into the centre. I have * applied it so hot tathc corn, that it was diffi cult fo handle it. . ** * As w-c are now on the subject of manure, I wdqld further observe, that in my view, the best mode of applying stable, eow--pcn, or 6th* er manures, is broad cast, and immediately to plough it in, but as we are not furnished with a sufficient quantity to do this to any extent, the drill mode to be recommended J this should be done by making a furrow about a foot deep, in which scatter the manure and cover it oyer (Tush, the holes or ftirnfws made for planting, wilrbe above the manure, but thft roots oT the plant w ill soon reach it.— The hoc is to preferred in case a drill is made for planting, for the horses destroy the bed 100 much in the operation, the cohering may lie don# w ith hand rakte, which leaves a smooth top on beds, taking all tljp stalks and trash that may have been thrown on it b 7 the plough, and will in some measure separate the seed w itliout drawing them out, as it is passed lightly Over the beds. We cannot ex pect that manure will act every year alike, all depends upon the seasons, jt has been found, that stable manure particularly, in an extreme dry season, has proven injurious, from what is called fireing the corn, and in floods of rain it is said, that it has been carri ed beyond the Teach of the plant in the bow els of the earth. Htmce may have arisen the diversity of opinion as regards manuring, to which I have alluded from the want of that observation, which can only constitute the successful planter. The fact is incontrovertible, that if it was net f,r manure, and good tillage, the Europe 'm e ir.trics would long since have been dc- I populated* Wrovght Sh:H Combs, —The-manufacture of this elegant ornament of female head dres.-. has been brought to great perfection in thb country within the few last years.
