Dear Sir,—In compliance with my prom ise, I herewith furnish you w ith the rules hy which I have been governed for many years m putting up mv potatoes. I have been very •acresiful in following them, and I hope they may prove beneficial to others. Toe first thing to bo considered ii tho collar, and I would recommend— 1st. The rails nr puncheons to he split in July, or the first of August, and stocked up for drying. 2d. The cellar to stand East and West with the door in the centre and perpendicular, to face the tun the most part of the day. 3d. To be made on as dry and high a spot and convenient for draining as posviblo, and made at least five weeks before wanted, Alb. To be double hanked, bv making a •coarse frame to support the same. The earth to be taken four feet from the fool of the rel lar around, about three feet wide, eighteen or twenty inche* deep; in this ditch, never li t any water remain, but keep it perfectly dry. fith.To be supported inside hy short crutch- ea, standing three feet high with poles, or rails laid lengthways in those crutches. By thus ■upporting your cellar, it will last you two yeara with safety, by airing it. When your cellar ia finished, email ftroa to ho made at each end, that it may be perfectly dry and clear of damp. 6Ut. The cellar to be perfectly tight with DEPARTMENT OF SPATE.

Liter/root, Sept. 18.— l’ho nows from Portu gal during thn week has been like that nf the last month, of a very indecisive nnd uninter esting character. By letters from Oporto we lesrn that the blockade by Miguel’s troops, now amounting in Hie whole to about 92000. is rontinoed ; but no attuek has been once illempied on the forces of Don Pedro in tin* i-ity. From all accounts it appears llist the usurper's army is any thing rather than well disciplined and powerful, while on the other hand tile Constitutionalists, though hut 14,000 in all, are n formidable urinv. In no part of Portugal does there appenr to have yet oerur- red any rising in favor of the cause of Donna Maria, and we are npprehensive that the lime is not vet arrived; the Portuguese have nut yet suffered a sufficiently galling oppression, to induce them to niaka n struggle for their freedom. However much this may be regret ted, should it provo to lie the case, it cannot be remedied, for it is impossible to mako a people tree, who are unfit for freedom. Even tiwcnerci KntelUarncr. Address of the Executive Committee to llie Temperance Societies in the Stale of -Yew- York. Thnl season of the year having now arrived when it is proper to commence active opera tions for the still farther advance of tho tem perance cause, the Executive Committee of tlie State Society dpom it proper to throw out u few hints to their various auxiliaries in this State, not in the spirit nf dictation, but with a desire to secure, ns far ns practicable, unity of purpose and unity of effort. While it is meet and desirable, that dll should arise, and arise immediately to action, it is absolutely necessary to success, tlint this action should bo properly directed ; for unless it is, much labor will not only he lost, hut much good prevented. And ns a means of giving the direction required, it is necessary in Iho view of (lie Committee. 1. Thnt every society, nnd every member, should have their minds properly imbued with a sense of Ihe magnitude and importance of the work they have undertaken. For want of this, many societies, nnd many individuals, either entirely neutralize their ex ertions, or else their efforts nro feeble, desul tory, and soon relaxed, and the work lan guishes. Let every one feel in rcgnrd to this reform, as Iho fullers nod youth of'76 fell in v regard in American independence—that the ] collect these, will requiro some consider- grant law of self-preservation then, requires lhat we redouble our diligence to remove so great an evil from our land. 4. The Committee wish lhat every society, and that every member, would endeavor to ap preciate Ihe plans of llie State Society, and make an effort to carry them into effect, so far ns practicable und expedient. We (eel a delicacy in speaking upon this one point, yet u regard to the interests of our country and of the world, impels us to over come this feeling nnd to speak freely. The plans of Ihe Comilten may he, nnd probably are, in some instances, not the best that could have been devised ; and they may not he sui ted precisely to the circumstacesof every place. And the Committee wish, that whenever the friends of tiie cause discover these or any other defects, they will npply thn necessary remedy nnd the proper modification. Yet when these plans nro not liable to any objec tion, except tbo labor necessary to carry them into execution, llie Committee trust the effort will bo perscvcringly and successfully made. And there is ono plan, so perfectly feasible, and promising so much utility, that the Com mittee make no apology for again pressing it upon the attention of their f iends. IVe mean the plan of school district associations. Many towns, und even ono whole country, have car ried this system into full operaton, nnd tho united testimony of nil such is, that its benefits are greater (linn the most sanguine hud dared to hope. Last season it wns our object to scatter in formation. Wc then sowed the seed. This season we can, if we will, reap Ihe harvest Every country society ought immediately to call upon their town auxiliaries to arise to ibis work, and afford them the necessary aid; nnd town societies should not wait for tile county society, but “ arise and work.” With pro per effort, the first day of tho year 1833 can announce to the world, that the State of Now- York lias a temperance society in every school district, which, like so many rivulets of mercy, 1 slmll carry the benefits of temperance to eve ry family and to every individual; nnd then uniting, form one mighty stream, who.su wn- lors shall go out into nil the world, to cheer and bless tho human family. Fellow-citi zens: wo ask you to arise to tl,is work with out delay. Lot but the feeling spring up in your hearts, that it can be done, and it will lie accomplished. 5. Let every society, and evorv member of every sneioly, feel llie importance of full and correct statistical reports. It would bn desirable that every socioty should, ibis coining season, present un accu rate return of tbo number of its members ; of tho diminished consumption of ardent spirit : nnd in general of every fact which will be of service to tbo enuso. and aid the Stale Society in preparing on ample nniiuul report. And lot it he foniemhered that a simple detail nf facts—statistical facts—is nil thnt is desired n third, that it Rowed to the South West and emptied into the Atlantic, on tho West; a fourth, that it directed its course to the South and was lost nnd nbsorbed in the deserts of Central Africa, unlike all other rivers, never reaching the ocean. Navigators on the coast of Africa, met with no river which at its mouth, corresponded to the magnificent size nsrri- lied to the Niger m tho interior. The Lan ders have at last solved the problem, which, from these circumstances, had assumed a ro mantic interest. The Niger rising near the great de-ert of Sahara, in Northern Africa, flows East, South, and South West, receiving several great rivers in its progress, and emp ties through an unknown number of channels into the Gulf ol Guinea. Of these, Ihe prin cipal is ihe JV'uu long visited by Europeans in tho slave trade, and on tho hanks of which arc situated tho Ebosc, a tribe of negroes, from which those of Virginia aro principally decended. Tho numerous mouths of the Ni ger, believed to he so many independent ri vers, had assisted in delaying the discovery. The Niger after it receives the Tshadda, nnd oven before, is tho most magnificient ri- ver in the Old World: in hreadih from 2 to 7 miles, clear nnd deep, and flowing through n country certainly the most fertile in tho world. Lander saw numerous nations who had never before seen a white man, and his accounts of these simple paoplc aro not only profoundly interesting to tho observer of hu man nature, hut proves the native negro cbrac- tcr to be the most amiable in the world. Southern Convention—Mitchell King, Eiq. one of tho delegates appointed by the Con vention of the Union Party of this State, re cently held nt Columbia, to attend the Legis lature nf Tenncsee, bus addressed a com munication to that body, enclosing the Ad dress nnd Resolutions adopted by the Con vention, and requesting the Tenneseo Legis lature to take tho subject of Southern Con vention into consideration, nnd recommend to their constituents n concurrence in the measure- Mr. King seems to bo zealously engaged in the prosecution of the object with which lie has been charged; and hns embo died in his communication several judicious remarks on the dangerous character and ten dency of Nullification, and on Iho propriety of consulting tho congregated wisdom of the South, to devise some safe and constitutional plan, of at once traoqullizing the fearful ex citement that now exists on the subject of the Tariff, and preserving (he rights of Ihe States. The Senate ofTennessee, on receiving this communication, adopted and transmitted to the House of Representatives for concurrence, a resolution, providing for the appointment of a joint committee of both houses, to tuko into consideration tho several resolutions submitted to the General Assembly on the subjects of State Rights the Tariff, Internal Improvements nnd Nullification, together with tho address of Mr. King, and to report thereon at the present session. The letter of Mr King will bo fuund in our columns.— Charleston Courier. salvation of oor country depends upon tbo fl blo labor, but the benefits to be derived will issue. In ’76 freedom nr slavery was the question: in'32 roiit, nnd degradation nnd shame, or virtue, and pcaeo and prosperity, are suspended upon tho result. 2. Let every society, and every member of every society, feel, lhat even now is the crisis of our file in regard to intemperance. 'u all human probability, the labors nf tho bn an ample remuneration. And let every society boar in mind, tliai it is of itself a par' of a whole—ono link in llie chain—nnd if il is not found in its place, there is n deficiency —tho chain is brokon. Last year many links woro wanting, and some loo of great im portance.

Nothing Is more certain, than that port. one moro vigorous effort, similar to the one made last full, will plaro lira majority of (he people of this Slate on the side of reform; For want of nUontion to this all-important consideration, much perplexity has liertoforc been caused.

A stone rolls much more easily down than op n hill; audio sail with the current, is less arduous tlmo to su'l against it. 3. Let every socictv, ami every member ofj every socictv, remark, and keep steadily in view, the favorable circumstances under which the labors of llie season commence. Anoilier year of experiment has pussed, nnd passed with success. Former theories have been confirmed—firmer facts more per fectly substantiated, und new facts disclosed ; a greater amount of talent and influence has been enlisted ; the prejudices of thousands have been removed, and light lias been currio into every department of society. And there is another thing : the cholera in its ravages lias not only furnished evidence in confirma tion of former theories, but it has developed a variety of new fuels, from which the most unanswerable arguments may bo drawn. Now, unless men dose their eyes, they may sue, that the use of urdent spirit is not only uiiiincessary for persons in health, but that it absolutely invites disease, and prepares the human body fir its ravages. Most truly has the cholera been called the apostle of temper ance. And there is ono other consideration—this lias been a year nf groat mortality among drunkards and spirit drinkers. Montreal, and Quebec, and Albany, and New.York, nnd Philadelphia, nnd Baltimore, can all hear testimony to this fact. And now those (hat remain are within the resell of humanity, and with the death ol their fellows so recently bp- fore their minds, arguments and facts, if pres sed homo with zeal and kindness, may save even thorn from the drunkard's grave. And there is yet ono other remark—the cholera manifests such an affinity for tho sys- luipo to receive them without delay. Finally 7. Lot every society, and every member of every society, fix upon the lii.’.lirst point as the one at which he aims to arrive, nnd press onward unceasingly in llie race of reform Our object—is to dry up every fountain of intemperance—to wipe away every tear caused by this vice—to render comparatively unneces sary, alms-houses, and hospitals, nnd jails, and penitentiaries, and state prisons—to drive vieo, nnd the misery consequent upon vico, from our land—to perpetuute ami hnnd down In those who shall romo nftcr ns, the bles sings our fathers bought with their blond, and to make nur country, even America, (he Imp. ptest nnd the loveliest upon which the sun bath ever shone—to mako it worthy of being the birth place of Freemen and the liomu of Americans.
