In one of those articles, the romantic history of the planter whose hospitalities the writer so gratefully recalled, was briefly given. He landed at Natchea, a boy. He had come down the Ohio and Mississippi on a flat boat, with his father and liis father's partner.

The farmer who plows (once) five or six in
ches, and manures feebly, and gets in his crop
late, and about half cultivates it through the Summer, and gets a meagre half-crop in the Fall, (unless cattle happen to break over his shiftless fence and eat it up meantime) not only dooms himself to fence, and watch, and pay
taxes to twice or thrice the extent he ought, but he is committing a flagrant crime against Nature by exhausting the Soil of its virtues. An official survey of our National Agriculture estimates the deterioration of the soil of this country since ils settlement by white men as detracting at least Five Hundred Millions of Dollars from its value! All observing men are familiar with facts which sustain this estimate. There are whole Counties and almost whole States, which would once have yielded an average of twenty bushels of Wheat or forty of Indian Corn to the acre, yet woulJ now funmanured) average not more thnn twenty of Corn and not
fivs of Wheat. "The virtue has gone out of
them." They have gradually been robbed cf their fertility by false, miserable, wasteful culture. The elements essential to the production of the cereal grains have been gradually
abstracted and not returned nor replaced. They have been seut off to the cities, to Europe and have long since served to fertilise British fields or have been thrown from the docks, or crept through, the sewers or our seaboard " cities into the ocean. Every dolla of the diminished value of the Soil is so much robbed by indolence

Our hero my authority tells not whether he was handsome or plain I have my peculiar reasons for believing that he was rather plain, but singnlarly good looking at the same time our hero walked off to meet the lady. He bowed to her and said: "My lady (my froleeo) my fortune is in your hands." She looked at him in astonishment, but ar

simply and truly what had passed between him and- his companions. The young lady listened atteatively, and when he had ceased to speaks, she said blushing, but with great sweetness:

Next day the you ng man wa9 sent for by tne Governor. He wanted to see the young man who had dared to ask a kiss of his daughtor in that way, and whom she had consented to kiss so. He received him with a severe and scrutinizing brow, but, alter an hour's conversation, was so alessed with him, that he oHVred him to dine at his table during the course of his studies at Upsala.
Our young friend now pursued Ins studies in

A few weeks more; and a long pending law suil, originsting in his efforts to retain his property and pay off his debts, was decided against him. and
his plantation was put under the hammer of the auctioneer, and the broken spirited man moved to Vicksburgh. Here another child died. With ihe remnant of his large possessions he purchased the beautiful steamer Mohawk, and run her in the Vicksburgh and New Orleans trade, acting as the Captain, himself. A few days ago the following despatch wis received by

Its value is tea times the value of gold aud siver, and aae-balf the value of all the me tula produced in the United States. Iron is found in every State of the Union. The most valuable snineisoce in Salisbury, Connecticut, which yields 3,000 tons annually. The mines in Duchess and Columbia counties in the State of New York, produce annually 20,000 tons of ore. Essex county, 1,500 tons; Clinton, 3,000; Franklin, C.00; St. Lawrence, 2,000; amounting in all to more than $300,000. The value of the iron produced In the United States in 1835 was $3,000,000; in 1637, $7,700, 000. Ia Ohio, 1 ,200 tqasre miles are underlaid with iron. A region explored in 133S would furnish iron sixty-one miles long and six miles
wide; a square would yield 3,000,000 tone or pig iron; so lhat this district wenU In 1,000,000,000 tons. By taking from this region
400,000 tons annually, (a larger quantity than
England produced previous to 1629,) it would
last 2,700 years, aa long a di.Unse certainly as
any man looks ahead ! The States of Kentucky,
Tennesee, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland and Vir
ginia possesses inexhuaustible quantities of iron ore. In Tennesee 100.000 tons ara annually manufactured. Notwithstanding our great iron resources, more than one-half of our cutlery, railroad iron, etc. Is still Imported from Great Britain. It is supposed by geologists that the weekly
supply of Gold from our mines will be equal to
the demand, and that our own min-s will yet
be more profitable than the mines of Brazil and ! Columbia. The most extensive Lead Mines in the world
are In Missouri, where the lesd region ia seven
ty miles long by fifty wide. These mine la 1823 produced 7,500,000 tons, and tho whole produce of United States was 8,332,105. It has been estimated that the quantity o'. iron required in England for railroads, oc. for the current year will be about 1.2G0,(l00 taus, which, it is supposed , will be equal to all that country will produce.
The quantity of lead manufactured in tbe United States, In 1825 was 12,311,730 pounds.! iu 1S29 14.541 ,310 pounds; in 1830, 8,332,104; and iu 1832, 4,281,807 pounds. The Copper trade, unlil within a yaar or two' has not been of much importance, as t result of the efforts made were not such as to justify
any great operations. But now it appears ta be
attracting a good deal of attention. Whether
lbs demand for copper stock is a fair Index to the value of the copper regions remains to bs
seen.
Fotatscs. Several arrivals from France at different American ports have brought large quantities of French potatoes, reported to be an excellent quality; and even some cargoes from the same fertile country, have we observed, reached Ireland. To think of Ireland and the United States importing potatoes and from Frrnae, too! What a lesson to our American agriculturists, to select the finest and largest for plan ting, instead of the smallest, which have no vigor to rewisl disease, or to produce with abun dance. Without knowing the precise economy of the French farmer.we may venture tbe assertion that their large petaloe yield '. tbe result of planting the largest bulbs which ts never found U fail of aa sxhuberaat yield. American piasters are bound to recover tbe potatoej
and act allow Europe to feed us, when we ought
nnier ropr management, to feed all the world. w dope the next year will place us on an
equality with "La bells France" in the produc
tion of the potatoe. Fbila. Ledgrr.
