From th Cotton Planter and Sail. FE8TILIZ iTIOJf BY ROTATION GREEX . , 4 AND TREE CROPS. Dr. CLncDDear Sir s AgriruUnrt it th Inundation upon which the richest nation must rest. A rational system of agriculture cannot be without adopting practical and sci entific principles. . The great variety of snil, climate, and plants, and the different manner in which the j have to be cultivated, renders it impos sible for a series of fixed rules to be adopted, which would prore practical and beneficial upon all occasion ; jtt when we make a close examination of the principles of sgriculture, we ilitcover thej all point to one great object, via: to produce a maximum of the different cultivated plaots with the leaat exhaustion of the soil. Experience has demonstrated that even with the application of manure, a certain va riety ol plant, when cultivated fur several successive jrears upon the same piece of land, will gradually decrease in size and rjuantitj. One great drawback to the agriculturist in the more southern States hss been the want of ajflicinit variety of crops, to admit of a practical and beneficial system of rota tion. The poor condition in whiih we now see a great portion of the once fertile lands, is partly owing ta the continual cultivation ol a small variety of plants, and this deteri oration of soil which lias greatly weakened th agricultural resources of the South, will, unless checked, continue in Diminish our strength until our institutions will crumble, and our country become one vast desert. It is a well known fact that after our ratl in? lands have been sailer cultivation ten years, they are generally termed worn out," while in aome parts of the Old World, laud has been cultivated far thousands of years, without any apparent deterioration. Admitting that one-tenth part of the lands in North Caratiaa, Smith Carolina, Cwriiia. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, Is or has been under cultivation, at the present rate ia which we are exhausting soil, we will in a few years have itu good land to cultivate. Are not these gloomy prospect eullicient to induce the agricultural community to tn;ike an effort to check this wholesale detraction i of soil i Can. we not look on the catalogue i of plant and find one which can be profits- blv cultivated upon the worn sous, ami at me same time sdmit rf the land being reclaimed civil, and successful in business, and in every to its original fertility ? I think we ran. respect appears like a gentleman."

Now in selecting p'ant winch we neem SB possessing tho peculiarities necesaryr to recorrmend it a suitable for worn land, we mnst turn our attention to trees, and in or der to tender Iheir culture as profitable as possible we will designate fruit trees. I do not wish to bo understood as recom mending poor lands as most suitable for orchards. I think however it would ag ment the interest of the agncultarsl community, and strenvthea the common country, if these poor lands were reclaimed, and I ran see no bctler mode for bringing them back to their original fertility than covering them in or cl.srds. The soil in the immediate vicin lies could be made sufficiently im misinir three or four whrelbsrrow leaf mould, well rotted manure, or tome mild fertilirini elements with the toil, at the tune j both of them, upright and honorable indivi.l Iha trees are transplanted, to give them a ,uals, who had made the most of their ad vigorous start.

(f this process if turning ander green ciop was repeated for three or four years, the land would not only be brought to its original fer tility, but the trees would have attained suf ficient size to richly repay the improver for all trouble. ' ' : ' ' " If avertible to your wishes, Messrs. Ed itors, I will endeavor, in another letter, to illustrate the extent to which fruit culture could be conducted at the South, thereby demonstrating to the readers of your valuable paper, lint there is but little fesr of the market becoming overstocked with choice fruits.

" I consider him a scoundrel and a cheat ; and you would, if you knew the secret his tory of hia vats and casks and buttles.

" Low, you had better watt till all ; these people are eternally sorted, and you will find that some of the highest ahall be lowest, as well as that some of the first shall be last.'" We lost the rest for the " Metropolitan " car in which we were seated, had reached our stopping place, and we rang the bell and alighted, meditating upon highness nnd low ness, as thej had been outlined in this brief discussion. We own that our sympathy was strongly drawn out towards the" defender of that gentility which consists in a clear head and a good heart, as against the sham gen tility conferred upon dolts by the posesxion of dollars. Slrttt lUuhii. BEAUTIFUL HAD. I As a young friend was standing with its noticing the pedestrians on the side walk, a very stylish and elegant girl passed ua. Vhat beautiful hands Miss hits !" exclaimed our friend. " What makes them beautiful i" " Why, they are small, white, soil!, and exquisitely shaped. The fingers taper down delicately, and there ia a roseate bliwh on the finger nails that no artist could imitate." " Is that all that constitutes the real beau ty of the hands? Is not something more to be included in your catalogue of .beautv. which you have not enumerated, to make the hand desirable ?" " What more would you have i" "Are they charitable hands? Have they ever fed the poor? Have they ever carried the necessities ol life to the widow and the orphan ? Has their solt touch ever soothed the irritation of sickness, and calmed the agonies ol pain?

In another article published a few days ago, we referred to some singular f.u ts con nrcted with the oveiHow of the Mii.ititii Kiver. There is no doubt that the rise of the water within the swamps to a level above that f the water in the channel of the river, can be prevented by t'.ie adoption or the plat suggested in the memorial of Mr. Ware, pie- in'send to the Arkansas Legislature.

If joudff The question naturallv ariaes, what becomes sire to give a political ssrmmi or jeeeh yu of this vast added volume of water ? It ccr-, tut do so at my house or any other place. tain never reaches ew Orleans, and as certainly does not evaporate I and. ol course, it is not confined to the channel of the river, for it would rise far above the entire region south of us. If a well is stt'ik anh.r i'i '" Arkan. sis bottom, water i' found a oon toe water-level of the Mississippi is reached. When the Mississippi goes down, the water sinks accordingly in the well. The owner of a saw mill some twenty miles from the Mississippi, in Arkansas, dug a well to sup ply the boilers of his engine during the latu flood. When the waters receded his well went down, till his hose would no longer reach the water, and, finally, his well was dry. He dug a ditch to an "adjacent lake to let water into his w ell ; the lake was drained mid the well was dry ajsin having literally drank ten acres of water in less than a week. The inference is that the whole alley of the Mississippi, from its banks to the highlands on either vide, rests upon a porous substra tum, which absorbs the redundant waters, and thus prevents that degreo of accumula latinn which would long since have swept New Oilcans into the Gulf but for this pro vision of nature, to which alone her safety is attributable. In fact, if the alluvia! bottoms of the Mis sissippi were like the shores ot the Ohio, the vast plain from Cairo to New Orleans would to-day bu part and parcel of the Gulf of Mexico, and this whole valley a vast fresh water arm of the sea. Were the geological character of the valley diflcrcnt, the con struction of levee confining the waters of the Mississippi to its channel, would cause the rtso in the river to become so great at the South, that there no sufficient levee could be built. The current would be strong er and the accumulation of water greater, as the levees are extended North of us. The result was reasonably enough antici pated, but the water instead of breaking the levees, permeates the porous soil, and the ovirlow is really beneath the surface of the snainps. Such, it seems to us, are the wise provisions of natural laws for the safety and i ultimate reclamation of the rich country South of us. We believe that the levee system will be successful, ami that the object of its adop tion w ill be attainetl. The porosity of the material used in making litem lias caased most if not all of the crevasses. Men may deem it a superhuman task to wall in the Mississippi from Cairo to New Orleans, but our levees are the work of pigmies when, contrasted with the dykes of Holland. The flood tide of the Mississippi is but a ripple on the surface ol a glassy pool, compared with the ocean billows which dash against the artificial shores of Holland.
