There is one pe culiarity about it wiiich is very singular. The plant at first shoots up into a perpendicular stalk, which attains usually about five feet in height. From this stalk side branches spring out the length of eighteen inches or two feet. These branches are thickly studded with buds, which in shape resemble tiny dumb-bells. There is nothing very remarkable in the shape or ap pearance of the plant, but the peculiarity to which we allude consists in its odd manner of blooming. The blossoms open during the night time, and never open but once, but this is not the novelty which we are endeavoring to get at.— If any one will take the trouble to watch the plant for a few nights consecutively after it begins to bloom, he will perceive that on the first night about four inches of the root of each branch will bo covered with open blossoms; the next night these will be all found closed, and four inches higher on* the branches will be found in full bloom ; and so on, until the buds are exhausted. In a word, the plant blooms, in sections of four inches at a time. Tea Culture. —The tea plants recently im ported from China by the Department of Agri culture, connected with the Patent Office, arc in a very thriving condition. Some of them have grown to the height of fifteen inches. Others are just appearing from the seed. The climate seems to be congenial to them, and the experi ment is proceeding satisfactorily. Probably it will be found, that not climate, after all, but la bor, or rather the insufficiency of it in the United States, is the impediment to the successful cul ture of tea. Much can be done by the ingenuity of our people in substituting machinery for hands, but the patient and unskilled labor pro cesses of the Chinese, as applied to tea-making, is not likely to be imitated in any part of the United States. It may not be generally known that not only are the tea leaves picked by hand, but they are also curled up leaf by leaf, by celes tial fingers. Necessity, however, is the mother of invention, and a relation of that family, an acute son of New' England, has already set his mind upon a tea-curing machine, which promises to do for the American crop with a few thous and fingers of steel, the work which occupies the digits of a million inhabitants of the Flowerv Land. J Many other interesting experiments are going forward in the tea garden, the result of which will, doubtless, be useful to the agriculture of the country.— Courier and Enquirer. 111 SOffllll VXSIM HMD VXUBXSS.

Peters, I Harden A Co., of Atlanta, fora box which reaeli i ed us on the 23d ult, containing several varieties of native and foreign grapes, of which some of the latter were as fine as grapes get to be with open aif culture. Except in size, there are but few j foreign sorts superior to our best natives. Lenoir Warren, Delaware and Rebecca are our best na- I tives. But in these the superiority isdeeided, and ; they are well worth cultivating, even if not more ' than one or two crops can be obtained without ! renewing the vines. I Os the native varieties received, there were: Ist Diana, bunch of good size, berries begin ning to turn color, of considerable sweetness, 1 but not fully ripe. This is better as a table ; grape than its parent, the Catawba. 2d. Hartford Prolific. The bunch sent was i small, being from a young vine. We believe its bunches are of good size, when the vine gets established. Berries of the size and color of Isabella, but globular' quite as sweet, but with considerable toughness of pulp. 3d. Lyman, bunch small, berries the size of a large Warren, rather pulpy, and considerably acid, with a very peculiar, black-currant like, unpleasant flavor. We presume this is about as poor a grape as ever got into cultivation. 4th. Clinton, bunch medium, berries size of the preceding, a little better in quality, but not better than our common wild grapes; not worth cultivating. sth. Concord, bunch of good size; berries colored like Isabella, of about the same size, earlier, more foxy, pulp of more consistency, but juice very sweet. It is worthy of cultivation from its earliness. Foreign Grapes. —lst. Red Chasselos. A beautiful bunch, very much shouldered; berries medium, round, of a very agreeable flavor, though not quite ripe; color, brownish red. 2d. Golden Chanelas. Very delicious; berries of their usual fine size. 3d. Sweetwater. The bunch sent of this was splendid, one of the largest we have ever seen of this variety, and in flavor, nearly equal to the preceding. 4th. A nameless variety of the Sweetwater tribe, said to be a fine grower and bearer, but those sent were deficient in sweetness; the bunch was of fine size, and very beautiful. sth. Early Black July. Ripe early in July, hence the bunch was over ripe. This is the Black July of Downing, and corresponds to his description. It is of good quality, and the very earliest grape we have. THE CALCEOLARIA. This singular genus embraces a great number of species, most of which were derived from the more temperate regions of South America, as the Chilian and Peruvian Andes. It takes its scientific name from Calceolus, a half boot, and its common name, Slipperroot, also from a re semblance of its singular flowers to a slipper, or shoe. This singularity of form, less apparent now than in the earlier varieties, gave it from the first an interest with florists, which the beautiful hybrid varieties raised of late years have, as Thompson observes, fully maintained Originally, with few exceptions, the species were yellow, but there were two w’ith blossoms of a purple hue, and from their admixture with the yellow sorts have many splendid varieties been produced. The Calceolarias are all green-house plants, some of which are shrubby, and others herba ceous. What is not common, the herbaceous sorts hybridize freely with the others. In ad dition to the yellow and purple varieties, then cultivated, a spotted flowered one C. crenatiflora, was, in 1831, introduced into England, from which, crossed with existing varities, several splendid hybrids were soon produced. They now vary “through every possible shade of crim son, browm, orange, pink, purple, and yellow; often spotted and sometimes delicately melting into white." The herbaceous sorts are the finest, but these can be successfully raised only from seed. Os the shrubby sorts, the best varieties are furnished by any good commercial florist. They require a soil composed of equal parts, turfy loam and peat, with a little sand. They need a good deal of water, and will not bear neglect a single day. They should be grown in pots, standing in saucers of water, the -water changed daily, and given at about the same temperature with the plants. — Chlorine Wash for Foul Breath. —£ oz. Chloride of Lime; 2 oz. water, agitate well to gether and in half an hour filter, and add 2 oz. Alchohol and 1 oz. Rose or Orange flower water. Used by smokers and others troubled with foul breath. IMPORTANT TO GARDENERS. A gardener having occasion to newly paint the wood-work in the interior of his green-house, determined to make trial of the theory of the absorption of heat by black color, with the : view of promoting the maturity of his plants ! and shrubs by means ot a greater quantity of j calorie. In the preparation of the black paint he used coal tar. that is to say, tar produced by the distillation of coal in the manufacture of gas. This coal tar, besides the advantage of its color, offers considerable economy in painting, being about one-eighth of the price of the ma i terial generally used in mixing black paint.— I The painting here in question was executed be j fore the setting in of winter. On the return of ! spring the gardener observed, with no less sur i prise than satisfaction, that the spiders and other insects which had infested his green-house had totally disappeared. He, moreover, remarked that a vine, trained on an espalier which, for the space of two years, had been sensibly de caying, and which he had purposed to uproot ! for the purpose of planting another in its place, had acquired such renewed health and vigor as ' to be capable of producing excellent table i grapes. Having applied his new paint to the props, treillages, and espaliers of all his sickly trees and shrubs, as well as those which, though in full bloom, were being devoured by insects, success again crowned his experiment. Cater pillars and snails disappeared as rapidly as the insects had vanished from the green-house.— The fruits produced by the trees thus treated have elicited the approval and eulogy of purcha sers. Similar experiments tried on the vine yards of the Gironde have, it is said, been at tended by the same excellent results. The Bulletin. It would be advisable to try the experiment next Spring, just before the leaves expand, of painting the posts and trellisses on which vines are trained, with a paint composed of coal-tar and sulphur. Sulphur is offensive to most in sects, (if not all) and in a grapery, if sprinkled about in the sun, it will preserve the fruit from rot. It is also in France applied dry to the bunches of grapes by means of a sulphurator. to arrest the grape disease. At all events, the application as above to the trellises will make them more durable from the preservative qpali ties of the coal tar and very possibly the sul phur will drive off insects from the vines, if the coal tar does not. We do know not how much reliance is to be placed upon tho article we quote, but intend to make the experiment as above, the coming spring. It is very possible that as much science, skill and care expended here upon the foreign vine as has been done in France since the vine disease appeared there, would render its cultivation as successful here as it has again become in that country. It is worth the trial. — IdTWe copy from the May Horticulturist the following jeu d'esprit of one of its recent corres pondents.

I PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE, A LITERARY AND AGRICULTURAL PAPEft, Published Weekly, in Augusta, Georgia. Dr. D. LEE, Agricultural Editor. W. W. MANN, Literary Editor. WM. N. WHITE, Horticultural Editor. Devoted to Agriculture, Literature, and Art It is in quarto form of eight pages, folio size—each issue con ! taining forty- columns of matter. In mechanical execu tion, it is in the best style of the typographical art In utility, it will be all that the best agricultural science and practical knowledge of the South can furnish. A weekly visitor to the homes of Southern Planters and Fanners, it will be more useful and acceptable to them than any monthly journal of equal merit In mental attractions, it will be all that a spirit of en terprise on my part and a laudable emulation on the part of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and cultiva tion. Too long the Southern people have been content to look to Northern periodicals for instruction in agricultural matters, and to Northern literary papers for mental rec reation. There is, however, a growing spirit of inde pendence and of self-reliance at the South. Our people are awaking to the conviction that we have the elements of success in the experience, knowledge, and scientific investigation, of the dwellers in our own Southern homes. The truth is gleaming upon us, that we have literary re sources of own worthy to be fostered —that among South ern writers should be divided some portion of that vast stream of Southern money that flows perpetually north ward to sustain Northern literature. My aim is to establish a paper that will be a vehicle o information useful to Southern Planters and Farmers, and a repository of Southern thought, imagination and taste, in the realms of Literature and Art; and to obtain for it such an extent of patronage and success, as will justify the most liberal compensation to all its contributors. Able and experienced editors are engaged, and steps are in progress to secure contributions from the most pleasing Southern writers, of both sexes. Much latent talent will be brought to light, and furnish some agreeable surprises to Southern people. “ Full many a gem, of purest ray serene," will flash before their admiring eyes, and cause a gen erous glow of pride in Southern genius. The Agricultural Editor is Dr. Danikl Lee, the dis tinguished Professor of Agriculture in the Univerity of Georgia—editor for many" years past of the Southern Cultivator , and a leading contributor to many Northern agricultural journals ot the highest reputation. The Horticultural Editor is Mx. Wm. N. Wuitk, a skill ful and experienced cultivator of fruits, flowers, and vege tables—a writer of repute in these departments, and au thor of that popular work, “Gardening for the South.” The Literary Editor is Mr. W. W. Mann, of this city, an accomplished writer, of fine taste, and scholarly attainments, who, having retired from the active duties of the legal profession, spent many years in Europe, and was for several years the Paris Correspondent of the Na tional Intelligencer and Southern Literary Messenger. THE SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE will combine the ÜBeful and the agreeable. It will furnish the Southern Farmer information useful in every field he cultivates, and the Southern family choice literature, the offspring of Southern intellect, worthy of welcome at every fireside. It will be, in all respects, a first class pa per —on a scale of expenditure more liberal than has yet been attempted in the South, and designed to rival, in its merits, the most distinguished of the North. Terms— Tiro dollars per annum, in advance. No club rates allowed. No credit allowed in any case. Bills current in the State from which they are sent, re ceived at par. Postmasters will be allowed fifteen per cent on the amount of subscriptions obtained by them. On all subscriptions exceeding twenty, sent from one office, twenty-five per cent will be allowed. In addition to this commission, a premium of one hun dred dollars will be paid to that Postmaster, in each of tho following States, who sends the largest number of subscribers, with the money, by the first day of August next: Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi. Other premiums and prizes will be duly announced. Contributions solicited from the pens of Southern wri ters. A special appeal is made to the ladies of the South for their patronage and good wishes.

If sent dirty, we charge half cent per yard extra for wash ing. Burry Wool is not objectionable; the burs are re moved by machinery. The name of the owner should be marked upon every package sent Wool sent by railroads in Georgia, Alabama, Tennes see, or South Carolina, to the Augusta depot, with the owner's name, and “ Richmond Factory ” marked upon it will be regularly and promptly received, and the cloth, when made, returned to the points directed. Each par cel is made up in the turn received. We would especially urge upon our patrons the great necessity of sending in the wool as soon ns clipped ; if this rule is followed, the parties would always be sure of having the cloth in ample time.
