VISIT TO S T. CROtX ....N". H
a\*rrea?etie>Bce of The N. Y. Tribune.
St. Croix, W. L, April, 1855.
Light though favoring winds did not bring
as to West End before eight o'clock, on the
morning of tbe liltb. I tor oito wuh not sorry
for this, as I had most MrMttl] desired to ap?
proach the island by daylight. 'I'll' lll'ot pie.i
ing and picturesijtie views of the West India
Islands are from the sea. They rise so abrnptlj
from the ooean, their deep verdure contrasts so
atrikingly with the bright waters which sur?
round them, and you so take in at a singlu view
each separate one, that they serin rather t<> sit
and float upon the deep than to send th. ir rocky
abafts down into Ml bosom to give them fixity
>u the solid structure of tho " great globe itself."
Everything in their appear,me-' awakens th"
sentiment of the utmost purity and grace.
Their shores, made up of frequent alternations
ef oalm bays and tinik inlots, with grnc-tiil
rapes or sharp promontories?their bills svvell
icg grandly up from tho const, verdant t<> their
summit*, with narrow iallies winding around
among thim; altogether they scent fairy lands, in?
habited only by fairies of earth and air. A cruise
among the West ladies without even setting foot
upon tbtm would be most enchanting.
With the earliest light I crept forth from my
dog-bouse to enjoy the refreshing breeze of dawn
and take a near view of this island, with whose
general aspects as beheld in tbe distance I had for
months been familiar. For, although forty miles
removed from St. Thomas, the atmosphere is often
ao clear that separata tree* can bo distinguished
with a glass upon its hills: aud the wiudmills
which crown its highest peaks can be sean in mo?
tion. The beautiful features of hill, mountain and
valley which hitherto I bad seen only indistinctly,
were revealed by that soft morning light in their
full proportions. 1 was greatly surprised to seo
that what I bad fancied wilJ, rugged mountain?
sides were indeed iu many instances precipitoas
hills, yet under tbe bight ?t cultivation, and covered
with luxuriant green fields of sugarcane. In
order to reach West End it it requisite to double
the extreme western point ef the island, which
extends from oast to wast, and sail along near to
the land for three or four miles iu a north-easterly
direction. Along this line of coast four or five
beautiful estates abut upon the aea, and thence
tub back upon or among the hills. A broad car?
riage- road winding along near the beach, lined on
each side by rows of cocoa-nut trees?broad fields
of ease often clothing the highest hills with its
hiight green coveting, and in various stages of
growth?the fine mansions of the proprietors sur?
mounting tome gracefal elevation near tbe aea,
with their nestling negro-villages close at hand,
embowered in rich groves of plantains and bananas,
give one, at his first glimpse, a pleasant and not
untruthful picture of St. Croix, which he will sae
repeated with agreeable variations and dido rent
nettings wherever he goes through the island. The
style of the hill* at seen along mi* coast, and their
being cultivated to their summits reminded me of
the country in some part* of Columbia County,
??rticulaily through the town* of Claverack arid
ttderhooh.
This town has no harbor; only a ?hallo * and in?
secure roadstead. An English hark, two Auieri
raa schooner* and a sloop or two constituted its
shipping-list a* we bore down upon tbe town. I he
water*, not much disturbed by the Let 1* of veatsl*.
are of the most exceeding purity aud clearness.
The ground, with everything upou its surface or
ha tbe water, ean be discerned clearly at the depth
ol five to eight fathom*. Fishes of the greatest
variety sa to species, size and hue, can be ?sen
disporting carelessly through the limpid flood
Two rude woodeu wharves extend from the saady
beach iuto the water perhaps thirty feet. Tbcao
suffice for the landings snd shipment* of the place.
In front of these is tho Custom House - a small.
two-*tory stone building?the center being pierced
by a broad passage like the toll-house* on our turn?
pike road*. Here every hogshead of sugar, before
it ia rolled down for chipping, is inspected by
weighing on a large pair of soales by the collector.
To the left, as we approached the wharf, on a level
plot of ground, is the Fort?a low stone structure,
with the reiidence of the commander, and tbe
barracks for ti e soldiers connected with it iu tba
roar, constructed of wood in the plainest style of
cdapboardiDg. Tbe whole to the seaward it sur?
rounded ly a low gratsy rampart covered with
shrubbery, save where one or two guns look grim
and defiantly out over the sea. On the right hand,
behind,hre scattered thibet, cocoa-nut aud tamarind
trees, and beyond the street which winds alosg
the beach balf-a-dozen st?re? asd warehouse* ot
modest proportious give faclities for tue principal
basinets operations of the place. And those, with
hall e-dozen lazy porters, ? horse-cart or two, a
BOsrt of Begroes who have rushed forth to see the
strangers, and a few merchants and merchant*
clerks, who, partaking of the came curiosity, yet
atore equable in its manifestation, have come out
apon tbe stone piaxza* in front of their *tore?,
pretty tairly represent itrbusintx* character and
activity. The town consists of four or five broad,
level streets running trom east U trott and cros?ed
at right angles by aa many mesa* ?hash are liaed
by quaiut. old, rather decayed hovaats with gar?
dens upon the ?frort?, and nuuieeaaa sjjbddo-trees.

For although under the same Government aa SL

trade prevails, and ioeb a thing aa inapectin? one's

But I suspect thete thinga belong to pait eraa. At

by suggesting that ' the Americana always gave

mate associations with this itland. At one time,

CAPE COD.
CorrefpoLdeEce of The N. Y. Tribune.
l'ROVIXt F.TOWN, Juli" Jl, ] <>.r).
On the cool, breezy morning of Tuesday, the
li'tb, G- and myself left the cars at Yar?
mouth and took chaise, bound for Kace Point,
the extreme laud of Cape Cod.
Sandwich occupies tbe neck of tbe Cape and
in itt physical features is similar to tb>- coast
towns generally. Barnstable, the next town,
produces excellent fruit, but is more sandy and
is largely represented on the eea. Yarmouth
has wealth and pleasant dwellings, with a Fligh
Bchool whose spacious edifice and teachers are
soldi in surpassed.
The general aspect of the country, comprising
undulations of greensward an.I sand-hills with
occasional groves of pine and oak, for many miles
is the same, until we reach Urewater. This village
contains elegant dwellings and luxuriaut foliage,
and is tl.e third town, we believe, in wealth in the
Coana cnwealtb in proportion to the population.
Seen after noon we drew up before the spacious
hotel of "Sim lliggins," the half-way house be?
tween Sandwich and Provincetovvn. Mr. H. it s
icntleuiardy landlord, who has risen from an ad?
venturer with a few hundred dollar*, thirty years

1-oxbury and other towns during the warm season.
We saw nothing that looked like a bar. Next lie

Tbe village covers the valleys ami slopes of bills
w hieb present an unalleviateil waste ot sand. Yet
there are fine churches and good dwellings From
this town to Tiuro, a distance of cix miles, the
road lies through a forest which in extent and tho
size of many trees greatly surprised us.
Natural ponds of clear water are cradled between
the romantic hills and tbe scenery is noire unlike
what are expected to f.r.d within ado/en nutlet

At Truro we wandered ab ng ihe banks of Pauiet

the Pilgrims t iicamped and thought to fix their
habitation, hi the church yard of this village of

GROWING WHEAT IN NEW BKGLAhTD,
To He hahlBV of Tit X. Y. Tr%tj*n* :
Sik. The question whether Wheat can bo advan
UfMMly grown In New-England is not only a mat?
ter of discussion at present, but in many cases has
hen proved.
If then who are still skeptical w ill adopt the system
of sowing four acres of Winter Wheat and two acres
of Spring W heat every y ar, upon we J-preparci lamL,
an ttfij tcrtili/.ed, they will not only raise enough for
their own use, but a surplus to sell
For six years I have averaged M bushels of Winter
Wiest per sere 1 find fj bushels of Wheat, weigh?
ing t'O lbs. to the bushel, makes a barrel of dour.
Now suppose C sens yield ISO bushels, this will make
about 3s bbls. flour? sufficient for four familiea of
eight i eitotis eat b for the year.
It would be poor fanning not to raise 20 bushels to
the erra, provided every farmer would manure and
cultivate as be does for a crop of oats or barley, and
rail and wiest uuder the same circumataucee will
yield more, and tie crop is worth double when har

This table abow s largely in favor of Whea'. Oat
tl d Harley Straw are nearly of equal value for tsddtr,
V. I ? ut and Rye Straw about equal in value for manure
or tic market. At Hoston it is selling at ?20 per tun
for bedding. It is pressed in bundles like hay and
scut to this market. Straw more tLan pays cost of
cultivating tbe crop at |2o per tun.
Now, a word as to the cultivation of Wheat in New
Et giand. Old mowing lands and pastures are good
for Wheat sown ou the sod in fScph-raber, ro'lirig lands
an better than flat, 'io make it tome up quick, and
esj ccially if it is a dry time, soak in a salt philo
twi ive hours, then mix and rake it dry in ashes. Sow
the frst week in September, bury it three iuchea deep
with a horse-plow, cultivator or drill. This gives
depth of root, and with a good Fail growth of blade
it is [ n^f against Winter kill.
Tht pieseut and past year I have tested the power
of this grain, which has 'half the quantity) come up
at a dtpth of six inches, at four inches depth every
be try came np. Late sowing and shallow planting are
practical enors.
I have taken good cropa of Winter grain, where
Rl in g train was an entire failure from rust, season

makes floor worth a dollar a barrel more, it being
whiter and better e very way than Spring wheat.
A chronic notion exists among the New England

" won't grow." By common coaaent thia hau become
a fixed error in the fanoer * calendar. Every shovel?
