A«Kicvi/ri:RAi,. j ~ ' ' I ' From the Transactions of the Essex Agricultural Society. Dr. Spofford’n Es»;ay on Irrigation. To the Secretary of the Essex Agricultural Society ; I foci that some apology is due to the trus tees for my long delay in fulfilling the appoint- , nru-Tit with which 1 was honoured hy them atj their meeting in September, 1%30; and have!; only to say that it was occasioned by a desire to obtain from a friend, then at a distance, some , account of an experiment on a larger scale than 1 any o”her which has come to my knowledge in this part of the country. . j Some degree of knowledge of what consti- ! lutes the food of the plants seems indispensable to any well conducted system oi j>r'*iuciug'l them in tlic greatest perfection s and such know- , ledge seems most likely to be obtained by min-o utelv examining their s'ructure, and carefully observing the manner ot their growth. Plants constitute one of the great divisions of j organic life, and one formed or constituted by avstems of fibres and vessels, and endowed with | certain powers and appetences which place j them at a greater remove above unorganized! matter, than they are below animal life ; and! appropriate nourishment is elaborated and aj complete circulation carried on to the minutest j extremity in a manner extremely analogous to j the circulation which is carried on in the arte ries and veins of the most perfect animals ; and i the apparent intelligence with which plants seek j for nourishment, light, air and support, appears in some ins anccs to bear a s’rong resemblance to perception and knowledge ; and the circula tion of fluids in the vessels of plants and animals appears to be carrier! on much on the same principles, and is perfectly involuntary in both. The indispensable agency of ttutcr , in con stituting the fluids, and carrying on the circula tion in these systems of vessels, has been uni versally acknowledged ; and could not be over looked by the most careless observer, while he saw innumerable instances in which plants with, cr and dry for want of this substance. Hut while this universal agency lies been acknow lodged, it is believed that a very inferior office lias boon assigned to it, from that which it real ly performs. It has been considered as the mere vehicle which carried and deposited the nutritious particles of other sulistanccs, while in reality it was contributing much the largest portion of the actual nourishment to the plants, which annually cl )the our earth in living green. If this idea is correct, then he who possesses water at his command with which to supply his plains at pleasure, or who has a soil adapted to attract and retain moisture, in suitable quanti ties, possesses a mine of inexhaustible wealth from whieh he can draw at pleasure, in propor tion to in’s industry and his wants. In proof of the abstract principle that water constitutes in a very large proportion tho food of plants, I may be allowed to mention one or two accurate experiment of distinguished phi losophers upon the subject, which appear to me to lie quite decisive on the case. “ Mr. Boyle dried in an oven a quantity of earth proper for vegetation, and after carefully weighing it, planted in it the seed of a gourd ; he watered it with pure rain water, and it pro duced a plant which weighed fourteen pounds, though the earth producing it had suffered no sensible diminution.” “ A willow tree was planted by Van I Id mont, in a pot containing a thousand pounds of : earth. Tills plant was watered with distilled I water or pure rain water; and the vessel so co vered as to exclude all solid matter. At tho end of five years, upon taking out the plant, ho found it bad increased in weight 110 pounds, tho’ the earth had lost only two ounces of its origin al weight.” o . Tho experiments of Mr. Cavendish and Dr. Priestly, have sufficiently proved tl»al vegeta hies have the power of decomposing water and converting it into such fluids as they need for circulation in their own vessels ; and that they elaborate from this substance such juices and fruits as they are by nature calculated to pro duce. The great effect which is so frequently oh served to follow the formation of ditches from the roadsides on to mowing ground is no doubt; in part to be attributed to the manure which is t thereby washed on the ground, but is also in part i owing to the more copious supply of water | SI which it thereby receives. That pure water is capable of producing slmi-; lar cfleets 1 have the following experiments to j prove : Several years ago. when resi-font with my ! father on his farm at v°\ui.ored hard toj divert a stream, which fell into a miry swamp, j from its usual course across a piece of dry up-i land. The stream was pure spring water, which issued between the hills about fifty rods! above, running but just far enough‘to acquire! the temperature of tho atmosphere but without! receiving any more fertilizing quality than was obtained in passing through a pasture, in a roc ky channel ; the effect, however, was to ddublej the quantity of grass. The same stream la gam diverted from its course about forty rods below, after it had filtered through a piece of swamp or meadow ground, anti with the saute j effect : and again still lower down its course 1, succeeded in turning it on to a piece of high i peat meadow which had usually produced but;" very little of anything, and the effect was that j more than double of the quantity of grass was produced, and that of a much better quality. 1 was lod to this latter experiment by observing! that a strip of meadow which naturally rccciv-! cd tho water of this run, A’ over which it spread L for several rods in width without any particular ! channel, was annually much more productive! than any o her part of the meadow. But the best experiment, and on the largest ; scale of any which I have known, was made bv! my late father-in-law, Dea. Eleazar Spoflbrd, I I then resident at Jaffory, N. H. A letter from Rev. Luke A. tSpofford, in answer to my inqui ry on this subject, observes: “My father f commenced the experiment as early as the year; ISOO, and continued it till IS3O, or to the time when he sold his farm. The last tea years ofj this time, he flowed, perhaps, twenty acres, and it produced, I should think, twice as much in} I common seasons and three times as much in dry. ? seasons, as it would have done without water-1 ing. This land woukl hold out to yield a good crop twice as long os other land of the same quality—(that is, I presume without flowing.) In | Ij dry weather he watered it every night—and I, the produce was good, very good.” I am acquainted with tho lot of land which ; was the subject of this experiment. It is a. northern declivity, and rather a light and sandy soil, on the eastern bank of Contookook river; and the water used was that of the river—about one mile below its formation by the junction of two streams, one from a large pond of several I - m hundred acres in Rmdgc. and the other a moan- 1 iitain stream, formed by innumerable springs is- . suing from the skirts ot the Monadnock. From the foregoing premises may we not con- ; elude that water performs a more important ot- it flee in the growth and formation of plants than i f I has generally been supposed—and that it not f* onl/serves to convey nourishment, but that it j is itself elaborated into nourishment, and there i* bv constitutes the solid substance ; and we may i further conclude that every farmer should sur- i ( vev his premises, and turn those streams which!] invw ait often useless or hurtful, on to landsjj where they are capable of diffusing fertility, a jbundance and wealth. | If appears further that the immense fertility of Egypt is not so much owing to the alluvial jdeposit, brought down by the annual inundation j as to the canals and reservoirs in which the wa- i Iters are retained, to be spread over the lands I Ulurinc the succeeding drouth at the will of the : cultivator. If, according to the experiments of Boyle i and Van IM mont, almost the whole food of j| < j plants is derived from water, then the principal; ' | use of the various manures is to attract inois-J ; turc and stimulate the roots of plants to absorb! . I and elaborate it ; and we have also reason to; i think that lands arc much more injured and im-l ! poverished bv naked exposura to heat and wind! ( ! and washing by water that runs oil’ and is lost,' , II than it is by producing abundant crops. i In the present state of population, nothing! i more could be expected or desired than that eve-, jjrv fanner should make use of such means as| the small streams in this vicinity may afford : but in a densely peopled country, like Egypt in former ages, or China at present, it should doubtless be one of the first enterprises of a good government, to take our large riv ers above their I falls and turn them oil’into canals for the benefit of agriculture.

Its immense size admits of the greatest j possible variety, and its contents furnish an extensive, ! useful, novel, entertaining alid instructive miscellany, j comprising the different branches of popular literature, [such as Tales, Poetry, Essays, Criticisms, Are.; notices lot the Fine Arts, Humor, .Sporting, Anecdote, Sketches of Life and Jlanuers, Police Rcjuirts, Prices Current of !the Grain Market, Foreign and Domestic, Intelligence of the latest dates, and an abstract and summary of all mat ters wdiich may possess interest for the general reader. 3’he Literary Department of the Courier is watchfully superintended, and no article is admitted which does not j possess positive merit. One Hundred Dollars were paid] lor a Prize Tale which was published in this paper on I the 7fh of January, and other inducements have been! offered to secure original contributions. Among the. vo-i hintary correspondents of the Courier are 31iss Leslie, ! (author of several publications, which have been highly applauded by American and European critics;) Richard Penn .Smith, the celebrated Dramatist, Novelist, and Magazine writer—Mrs. Caroline Lee Hentz, the accom plished author of the prize tragedy, “De Lara”—Miss| Bacon, tiie fair writer of the pathetic “Love’s Martyr,” Ac. And many others whose names are equally distin guished ; besides a number, whose productions under fic titious signatures, have elicited general approbation. In the seleciiou of literary matter, the publishers of the Courier have extensive facilities. Their exchange • I list includes the most valuable American journals; and 1 'among other periodicals which they receive from abroad | may be specially enumerated Bulwcr’s new Monthly, Campbell’s Metropolitan, Frazer’s Magazine, London Literary Gazette, Blackwood’s, La Belie Assembler, TVorld of Fashion, and the United Service Journal. Through their agent, Mr. Willmer, they are also furnish ed with the choicest English papers, including the John! Bull, Bell’s Life in London, «Sac. A portion of the Courier is appropriated to Sporting; Intelligence, and particularly to that branch which relates to the Turf. Subjects of this kind are introduced as of. ten as a proper regard to variety will admit. Descrip tions of I avountc Horses, their pedigree, performance aud appearance, accompanied w itli engraved likenesses, arc occasionally given, in furnishing which assistance is procured from several distinguished sportsmen. Police Reports occupy a share of attention. These are prepared by a skilful person, engaged expressly for j that purpose; and as the material, are gathered from au-! tliemic sourcess, their general accuracy may be confi-; dently relied. In arranging them for the press the re-1 porter combine, facstiousuess with fact, and so constructs j tlie naratives, that in most instances they will be found i extremely graphic and diverting, without (he slightest! sacrifice ot truth. In preparing the contents of the Courier, strict regard is paid to News. All foreign intelligence, up to the la test dates, is invariably given; and whenever a press of matter may require it, an extra will be published. The summary of domestic affairs is more complete, cor- ! reel and lull, and embodies a greater extent and variety! of information than can be found in any other paper, as in addition to a condensed statement of localities, a synopsis ol passing events in all parts of the country is regularly prepared and published. In order that those who have to laugh may find matter tor their mirth, each number contains a melange of Hu mourous Subjects, some of which is illustrated by an engraving, executed by a skilful artist. The Editorial Department embraces reviews of new publications—notices of the fine arts, Ac.; remarks On general topic?—descriptions of public improvements, amusements, Ac.—discussions of snitabble subjects—dra matic criticisms, Ac. This department has been, and will continue to be, conducted in a spirit of tlie most fear less independence. Whatever conics fairly within oh servation, shall be frankly dealt with, and no station or in fluence will deter the prompt and decided expression of unbiassed opinion. In line the Saturday Courier professes to be the lar gest, cheapest, most diversified, entertaining and in structive newspaper issued from the American press. The publishers claim tor its contents a character of vi. ' gorous originality, judicious selection, extensive varictv, i and interesting detail; and they invite comparison with! cotcftiporary publications. - ; Premiums. £ Persons procuring five subscribers to this rviper, and I forwarding the amount of a half year’s subscription. ! ke entitled to a sixth copy gratis.

BARTLETT. 1 Moron, July 25, 1832. i ’ PiiosFKrri^ Tlie former Editorofthe “Southern Spy," 51. Smith, and Doctor j. B. Monroe, intend to commence the pub. lieation of a Political Newspaper, in the month of Octo. her next, in the Town of Lawrenccville, Gwinnett coun ty, Georgia, to be entitled THE la AWREItfCEUZIXS HERALD, The dense population of this and the adjoining coun ties, and the almost certain fact ofthe immediate occu pation, by t.he people of (Georgia, of the Cherokee court, f try, fully justify the establishment of a Press in this sc. 1 tton of the State. The Political doctrine of the HERALD will be ac i cording to the policy and interest of Georgia, as regards State Rights, and the propriety ofthe removal of ail the | Indians of the South.—The South-Car'dina doctrine ot | indiscriminate Nullification will not he supported by the I Herald —bat the reserved rights ot the States will Ik | pled us the best method of preserving the confederated ■ Union. ) The ITeralo, in all other cases, shall he a perfect]i■■ free and neutral paper — lts columns shall be open al ways for the discussion of all political questions that may be agitated by either of the political parficsinGeor. gin— not the least preference shall he given to chin r ot them. —The subscribers to the Herald shall enjoy the ''full and uncommon privilege of reading in the same pa. per both sides of all political questions and movements of importance, not only in Georgia, but in every State «. i the Union. Uur motto shall be Fro ct. Con. The Herald will vindicate the Rights of Man—ofin sulted justice—injured innocence—■edefamed reputation, and the cause ot morality—but will have nothing to do ■with Theological or Religious controversy—this is the i business ol the Clergy. A summary view will be given every week in the { Herald of all important events that may transpire in j the world, as we may collect it from the Newspapers ol the United ,States and from Europe. The location ofthe Herald in the vicinity of the Che. rolice country and the Golden Mines, will enable us to give all the Indian and Golden News from that region. But few persons, it is hoped, in this and the adjoining counties, will refuse to patronize the Herald, as there by much money may be retained in this section that non goes abroad for Newspapers and other prints. Most excellent facilities are now afforded by the fre quency of the mails to this place, of obtaining the ear liest news from Milledgcvillc, Augusta, Savannah. Charleston, New-York, and the other northern cities, unit of diaacminating the same by the Herald, to every section. j No pains or expense will ho withheld from rendering j the Herald worthy of a liberal patronage mid which jwe have reason to believe it will obtain. As the Brim t ing Materials are already in possession, there need be j no doubt of the publication. r CONDITIONS : I I.—The Herald will be printed every "Wednesday II on a super-royal sheet, on good paper and type. !

THE LADY’S BOOK. rfUIE number for July, 1832, commences the fifth -§L volume ot the Lady’s Book. In presenting this |l number to the notice of our patrons we again take occa sion to render thanks for the liberality which has been | extended towards us, and to invite attention to our work. It would be fastidious in us to deny that our Book pos. i, merits which no similar publication can fairly j| claim. The immense and unprecedented patronage bestowed upon it, the continual rapid augmentation ofthe jl general and concurrent testimony of the press in its j favour, arc circumstances which leave us no room for I doubt on thin subject. Indeed with the superior farili j tics we possess, wo should he properly obnoxious to ccu- I sure, if our work did not surpass its contemporaries. I In our present number we think there will he found 1 considerable improvement. We respectfully ask attcu j tion to our Plate of the Fashions, which’ we boldly as | sort is unequalled by any similar engraving herelofon | published in this country, and in proof of this we nerd | only institute a comparison between it and those furnish ; cd by other periodicals. Anxious as we have always . been to avoid any invidious distinctions, we should nut have referred to this matter, hadnot ‘ comparison been challenged ’ by the publisher of another journal. Wo hope the contrast will be made, and shall esteem it a particular favour on tlie part of our editorial brethren if any of them whose leisure will permit, will examine Our plate either iu reference to its own merits, or by comparison with others. The result of such an exam ination we know must he favourable. The artists em ployed by us are of the first excellence, and their works arc such as need shrink from no investigation. The \\°o(l engravings accompanying the present number will aaso he found won by of admiration. hoped to furnish in the present number flic and POEM for which our premiums of ’ "ere offered. In this we have been disappoint j. etl, as the gentlemen composing the Committee have been so occupied in their various public avocations, that they have not yet made the award. In our next, we shall have the pleasure of laying both the Prize articles i before cur readers, and it gratifies us to be able to as sure them that, wherever the award may fall, it will be vve.i deserved, as we have received and laid before the jIJ ''tofmttee a very large number of unusually interesting j dales and Poems. The publication of these will be j. vegulany continued, and the future numbers of the p Lady’s Book will contain original contributions such jas will safely bear comparison with those of any other | periodical, foreign or American. In the course ot the volume which has now com menced, a variety of improvements will be effected. ■ Among these we may mention the introduction of sev eral very peculiar and striking engravings.
