Hill sides and hill tops are preferable. Manuring. • Various methods are pursued in regard to the tpnnuriug of -vmo soils. Dr. Liebig -.re fers to instances where'vinos lisve been mnin .tained in productive condition for twenty or thirty years, by simply returning to them tlieiv leaves and trimmings, tho lost being cot into small pieces and dug into the soil by means of n spade and line. Some ma nures favpr tho growth of wood and foliage rather than fruit; high manuring will gfiiici-. ally have this effect—a rule which is applica ble to all other plants or trees. Ground hones, Horn shavings, old woolen rags, the dust and dirt from paved roads and streets, perfectly rotted stable manure, pmidrettc, are some.of the best snbstances that can he ap plied. To believe that the vine's continued thrift and bearing may be depended on, witb no other nourishment than it receives from its own refuse, is inconsistent with the best past experience. Organic testimony shows what tho fruit extracts from the soil, among which nre, largo portions of phosphate of lime and potash. A portion of the last may l-a restored by the return of tlio trimmings and leaves j uut ultimately the pntqiStrrequi red by the vine must be exhausted wherev er there is not a granite anil to furnish it.— A* to the phosphate of iiine taken away with the fruit, scarcely any portion of which is returned with the vine-wood and leaves, this must he supplied to the vine in some form, ir otherviee its produerivencss’ must he.stint- and. Mr. Brassin, formerly the skillful con ductor of the royal vinery rtf France, had a) way* been in the habit of folliuviug -tins usual custom of enriching iiis grapery with dung, hut finally came to tho cirmiusioii that and) an application impaired the quality of tlic grape- Me afterwards applied tro such manure, bnt got together the cleansing of ditches, grass turf; road sweepings, and filth, and mixed them well together, allowing the mass thus to ripen for two years. Another utodc is adopted by him in his system of grape culture, also possessing some interest ami va{> ue. When the maturity of grapes is ut hand, of when, in backward seasons, fears are- eu tnrtaiued that the ripening will not be easy, it it usual witli many to cut and (nrll’ off li the leaves which are before the fruit, in or der, they allege,that the. sun mnv shine ful 1t upon ’it and ripen it speedily ; for this srtodo of treatment, which M. Biasain consid m injurious. frtuu&v 4 - —v- -- 4s - 1 - In pruning the great danger lies between pruning to much and too little.- W’Uich is commonly known ns tlmspurjiystem ot train ing and pruning is managed, as full >ws : Al low each stem to extend the whole height of the structure, and if the first year it does not attain ftie size of three irn lie* round it is to be cut back and allowed another year’s growth; should it attain more than three inches in circumference, it must ho regarded as too strong, and'cut down to within about four foot of the old wood. Young spurs will pul out to benr fruit, and one bunch may be. taken from each of them, the growth of each spur being stopqed two eyes above the honchos; there spurs are cut at each whiter* pruning, s7 as to leave two or three eyes on each. These again sending out spurs, on?, hand) is taken front each, and so continuing to year. When grown against the common wall, lit is advised that the vinos he planted six feet apart; and supposing the yottng plant to have one good and vigorous shoot, it must bg cut down to three or four eyes. As soon ns the •hoots arc long enough to be nailed to-the woll,lwo of the best must be selected, and trained horizontally’ within nine inches of the ground. When each shoot has extend ul two and n half feet from the stem,it must he trained in a perpendicular direction for two e feet, according to its strength,when Tie stopped j.and such Internal shoots ’ be produced after that time must ra dio like treatment ns before. lathe atitn®, when the leaves havo fallen, each shoot should be pinned back to the horizon tal tine where it had been ferried upwards—- thus leaving febt between the extremities of each vino. As soon as the young are loug enohgh, three must, be selected from each shoot, at a foot distance from each other— oitnat the extremity, another a foot from that, and a third six, 3 inches of the stetn where it had first been headed down ; these must be trained perpendicularly, add if each plant baa furnished its six shoots, they will be a foot from dleh other the whole length of the wall. When they hare attain-’ ’ -w- .. T r qd a hclgth of four feet, they taust be stop,* ped, and not suffered V> extend further that season. If the vines should Im weak when j first planted ant, it will bfc better ti> cut tlmra ! down to two eyes, sclecffhg the best shoot l from each, twining it perpendicularly the; i first year.

Thore are two reasons urged in favor of this process —< namely, to concentrate tlio powef* of the vine in tlio neighborhood of tlio fruit to increase its sfiiv; and nls to pre vent tho secondary shoots of the vino from overlapping and-smothering the principal leaves, Graftg. U Grafting of the grape-vine i* an operation sometimes practised by amateurs, the meth od pursued in sticlla ease being as follows: : Snivel a scion with one eye, and cut it in tlie , ’ form of a wedge. For a stock Select a shoot! j of the preeeeding yvnr,about the same tliick-l ness as’ tho scion, mid cut it over a little above i the second eye from the old wood. With a sharp knffocut.it down the centra nearly to i the old wood ; opt of the centre, pare with a 1 pen-knifo as nmcli as i* necesary lo make it fit the cots on ilia side of scion—then insert the scion with its eye opposite to .lint on the top of the stock. Tie it op end day it over in the usual manner, only with this difference, thaf. tho scion bo almost wholly covered with day, iearing orrty small hrrfojj for file eyes. Tie some good moss upon tlio clay, upon which sprinkle n little water oc tpisionnliy to keen tlio whole in n moist state for seme time. What is of essential impor tance to success iu this method, is tho leav ing ->f tlio eye or young shoot on tire top of of the'stock, and allowing it to grow for ten or fourteen days, when it should bo cut oft’, leaving only otic eye and one leaf to draw sap to the scion, ti-l it be fairly united to tlio stock. With regard to the time of grafting, it will succeed pretty well when the stocks are about to break into leaf; but there is ■ more certainty of success when the shoots of the stock liavo made four <f five eyes of new Wood : —for by this time tlie sap Ims be gun to flow freely, and the danger of bleed ing is over. This method of grafting has been success fully pursued by several eminent British gar deners, and is thought preferable to other ‘modes—such ns whip,Wngno, or wedge graft ing. By mentis of it many different kinds of grays many bo tried iti the course of three or four in a very limited vinery, and the best and most successful retained for Cultivation. A Virginian in Now York. ” Some time since Mr.M., of Virginia, a gen tleman of rare intellectual endowments,as well ns of.snperior physical strength, was passing up Broadway one afternoon, lie stepted into an auction room and bill off one or two arti cles. when lie was asked to walk into a back otHuod Iti a few niintes a bill was presented to him for eighty dollars, Mr. M. examined the sudden increased bill, and then in a man ner decidedly cool, arose and said, “Ah. yds.. 1 thought when 1 came in this was a regular and respectable auction house, but 1 was mis taken, it is one of the regular ‘inocx-uue.tipn’ swindling concerns,” “This,’’ said one of the. attendants, “is a respectable auction house mid turning the key in the door, “we w ill let you know, sir that we are no swindlers, aud that you must pay this bill.” “ Now,” said Mr. M, “you arc fixing things right, and 1 understand matters, and wo will see who opens that door fust.” At this he clrow. his arm back, and before the “inock-cuctionee.; ” could “take a note of time,” he found himself heaped-upon the floor, and bis companion in rascality knocked into the outer room through the door,, to the. lip small .astonishment of the outsiders.

What a glorious government wc have, and how proud and careful we ought to be of it! Every four years the thirty million* of people who lure and pros per in this happy land have to select a chief Magistrate for their country', and although for the time being the political waters surge, and roar, and the storm and tempest of par ty excitement threaten to dash the great temple of liberty to the dust, yet when tlio work is done, every’ element settles.into its proper place, and all is pence ami quiet. So it is in all our popular elections. What but excellencies deep-seated and pure in tho or ganism of. our government could produce such re-ults as those ? And-should we un de# the influence of excitement, in some maddened moment, without reflection , break ftp:this government ? There are those who counsel this, on account of the present exist-, iug difficulties in the Territory of Kansas.— Let us look to this nia*ter for one moment iu the. light -of common sense. TTwit Governor ‘"Walker when he declared that the Constitu tion made by the Convention ended for that purpose, should be submitted to the bona fide inhabitants of Kansas for ratification or rejection, or It-ought to be rejected by Cob-, gross, went altogether beyond his duty, and intervened against the South we are, piepareiL to admit and do admit. He lias received ns’ he deserved to receive, the condemnation of Southern men of all parties for this most un necessary, foolish and criminal act . But let us divest this question of its connection with Walker, and his dictation, and w'ho is there that will say that tlie Conven tion has not the right arm the power to and” this thing, if they’ see proper? Let os 100k 1 tETs matter fully in tuc face by supposing nil the exigencies that majyndseC- Snpposk--:-a pro-slavery Constitution is formed, not stib ‘ mitted to the people for ; tificatidn or i ejec tion, presented to Congress, accepted, and Kansas admitted into tlm Union as t slave State, of com scull will be light ami sytis faetoiy v But suppose rl tt tmdei this state of facts the Constitution ~f Kansas should bo rejected l.y Congress w hat then i ‘ Why one of the planks put iu the Georgia plat form hy our Const!.utinual Union friends will ‘have liven broken and we shall see what we shall see. Suppose again that the Constitu tional Convention should submit the Consti tution .(pro-slaveryJ to the people and it should In) ratified by them nnd accepted .by Congress, of course ail would he right again. But suppose llm; it should he submitted nnd rejected what is to he done then ? Now we do not intend tn.cuter into nny lengtldy dis cussion of this nuttier, hut there does seem to us to be no jtrimijd* in red red whatever [against us in this matter. If there he a large majority nt fi *e-State men in Kansas (a fact that all seem to admit) have they not the same right ill prbhtfjtte to! reject tlm Constitution beltue. submit ted to Congress, that they have 16 meet ami i fc-chango it afterward I The principle is . pre ! cisely the same, and the pou-rr is the same, ; and as to the question, of poliey. as Southern men, as known Sowthtrn Hights men, >vo unhesitatingly say that we would infinitely j prefer that Kansas should be made a free : ! State in the beginning, if free State she must Lie, rather than become so afterwards by al • teratioii of-her Constitution. These senti ments may not suit some especially j those, who within the last few months hive , become so sensitive upon the subject of Sou i them rights, but they are the honest convic t lions of- our judgment, and as such we fear -1 lessly avow tlieth to the world. It is much 1 easier to break down this government,than (0 , build another and a better in its stead.and we call upon all men of all parties to think bc ! forp they act. By taking no rash steps for | wards, there wifldiever be any disagreeable Aieceagjky for taking steps backwards. - ■ 7-t- ! Fire in Savannah.

It occurs to J us that there is an overwhelming necessity j upon the companies enireeined to do this thing, and it would be cruelly tbe country to leaveJt undone. Why can it not he done? Doth parlies say that it is highly important to them that the settlement should be made,and that they greatly desire it,and it 1 will be strange indeed pf sensible men, de- j I sirous of a common object, and lmviiig it com pletely iu tlieir power to accomplish it,should fail iu its attainment. lsltpossible that when such tremendous interests are t stake, that these companies arts hazarding eveiy thing upon a point of etiquette ?

We have great faith in the devotion of James Buchanan to our constitutional rights. lie lias hegn often tri ed and as often’proved true. Tbe people of Arkansas, esp*-cialv, should be slow to cen suio him. When Arkansas applied for admis sion into the Union with a pro-slavery consti tat on, he stood by her and was her chief sup porter and advocate in the Senate of the Uni ted States. A little while, after a few more develop- we shall be able to see our way more deafly, and if lie shall be found to have been faithless to tlie Kansas act and tbe con stitutional lights nf tlie South, we shall be ready to place our paper in opposition to tho administration. If .James Buchanan shall prove a faithless traitor, as charged by some democratic journals, our faith in politicians will he forever, hereafter, very much weaken ed. If he proves recreant, in the face of all the pledges he ha. 4 given and the sound rec ; orcl he possesses in whom can we hereafter confide.' l —Little Rock [Ark.) T/ue Dtmmo crat. Description of the Stream The general description of the Guff stream, apart from any present I ' question as to its sources, is that nf a vast and rapid ocean cur rent,- issuing from the basin of tbe Mexican Guif C-irabean Sda ,donW+ng tlic>ontheru capo of Florida, pressing forward to the Nort..-cash, in a line almost parallel; to tlie American coast; touchflig on tlie. southern borders f the bank of Newfoundland, and and at some seasons partially passing over them; thence with increasing width and i confusion traversing tlie whole breadth of the Atlantic, with a central direction to wards the British Isles; and finally losing itself by still wider diffusion in the Bay of Biscay, on our own shores, and on the long line of the Norwegian coast. Its identity in physical characters is preserved throughout the many thousand miles of its continuous flow; the only change undergone is that of degree. As its waters gradually commingle with those of the sunoiunli ig sea, their deep blue tint ‘declines, their high temperature di minishes, anil the speed with which they press forward abates. Kit, tak.i g the stream hi its total course, it wtdi warrants Urn vivid 1 description of oar author, and t lie namo lie I bestows upon it, ot ‘a river tn the ocean.’ 1 This epithet huiti truth, singularly appf >pri ate to this vast run eut, so constant ami con tinuous in its Course, and so strangely detatch . ed-from the great ’ mass of ‘ocean waters ;- which, while wryniiigl) dell asunder to givo path to its fiist are yet ever pre ring iqion it, gmdu ‘ ‘ - I destroying itsi"’ •pc “^l^^a^in : „#nr it has gained a ‘‘ve miles, its velocity is reduced miles, on parallel of the Newfoundland banka, if is furtlier reduced to one and a halt miles an hour, and this gradual abetment of fo ( rcc'is continued across the -'vtlaiiMc. The temperature of the cur* rent undergoes a similar change. The high est observed is about 85°, for Between Cape Ilatteras and Newfoundland,though lessened in amount, the warmth of the stream in win ter is still 25° 0r33 3 above that of the ocean through which it Hows; Nor is this heat wholly lost whjju it reaches and is spread lover the coasts of northern Europe. The waters thus constantly flowing to us from tlie tropical regions, biiiig warmth as well as abundant moisture to our islands j and Ire land, especially, upon which tlicy more di recly infringe, doubtlcs derives much of its poculiinijy of climate, its moisture, its ver dure,and abundant vegetation from this source. But t lie influence of the Gulf stream does not stop even here. Tho climate it said to convey isdiftused over the whole Norwegian coast, the aspects and produce of which sin gularly contrast witli those of the correspond ing latitudes in North America, Greenland aud Siberia, Other causes, doubtless, con tribute to this effect none, wo apprehend, so largely or unceasingly.— Edinburg Review.
