says the New-Orjeans Delta, he went
up the St. Lawrence, ami when water
communication t eased, travelled on Imrse-
bnckami mother modes over the broad
est part of this continent, to the Hudson
Bay Company’s posts on l.he Pacific.—
Thence he visited California, and after
wards explored the intricate stearn navi
gation of the North-west down and*ainong
the Russian possessions. Then beginning
at the extreme point of Russia in Asia,
he travelled by various conveyances
through Siberia and the denser peopled
parts ol Russia to Moscow, thence to Si.
Petersburg, thence to London. Over all
this immense line lie carried the eye of a
keen observer and a practical mao.
The Editor of Neal’s Gazelle has seen

“Of the women, with their witchery of

possible, for a stnioeer to speak with
impartially, inasmuch ns on- self hive is
tint orally enlisted in favor of those who,
in every look, lone and gosh ire. have ap
parently no other end in view than the
pleasure of pleasing us. With regard,
nmvcver, to the physical charms, as dis

plishments of education, it is difficult even

the women of California, to ilieir rr.-dit

by far the morp 'industrious hall of die

as a while servant is absolutely unknown,
inasmuch as neither man nor women Will

nian may with reason disparage much of
what passes under the name in England,'
the accumulating of wealth for its own
sake, the humoring of the caprices ol fash

uries of life by blended feelings of Privy
and pride!* But whatever may he. the
merits or demerits of Californian happi
ness, the gran) folks thrive upon it. They
live long, warding off the marks of age
liir a period even in some less trying cli
mates; and with regard to the women,
this is die more remarkable, inasmuch as
they me subjected to the wearing effect

MARIA EDGEWORTH,
, WHAT IS A STAMPEDE?
The following from a letter written by
Dr. Mills, nf Maryland, who when! aS a
surgeon with Gen. Kearney’s regiment,
gives an idea of what n ‘stampede* is:
“It many tint ire uninteresting to your
renders to know-how the Indians effect
stampedes upon biases,and succeed in
driving off large numbers, as they do
sometimes, and thnt, too. even from a
strong guard. Twenty or thirty Indians;
mounted mi mules, will ride tip in the
night as near to. to the camp or place
where the horsesnre grazing, as thpy think
they can without being discovered by the
guard ; than thby divide off in squads of
five or six, and plant themselves in al
most every direction,- (if the ground will
admit of.it,) around the camp. Then one
or two Indians will creep up near the
horses, and whilst lying on the ground
make sodden frightful noises, with horse-
fiddles or some other instrument. Tim
horses iutunil' upon their leet, throwing
their beads up, atiil all at once make a
break, en masse. If they are pickted.
hey now draw-the pit kets m break the
larvetlps, and away they ro, peifecllv re-
gitnlless of tents,, guard, qnd every (liirig
lse. . o
As soon as they np'pronrh any ’ of the
Indians on their mules, they commence
spurring, and away they go in the direc
tion of their homes; the horses niA ap
proaching near enough (o'learn the .de-
ceptinn, follow on utter the mules, sup-
psstng them no doubt ;o be horses, whilst
lire remaining Indfons pursue them from
behind, anil thus frighten and drive them
Iu this way, they often drive off sev
eral hundred horses in tine ‘slainpetle,’
and afterwards secure them all; It is it
grand, yet fearful sight to see a large .num
ber ol horses in n slant peije, When' Mi
ra mped upon the Arkansas river near
Bent’s Port, 1 saw upon (he opposite of
thp river (some oflhe troops bar crossed
over to obtain grass for the animals,)-800

hnuniiing thriiugh the camp, and tha|, too.
in diiy light.. The rattling ot the iron pick-
els anil the rumbling of the earth was
distinctly heard on that oecnsion for more
(ban two miles.. About fifty, of the hqr-

beg lea veto staten factor two, and re-
ler them to the proof fit'hand. 1 -From the
specimens shown die, in' its growing
slate, as Well'as When galhpred, I must
say ettipKfi(ically< it yields''dtore for the
industrious and energetic 1 planter,''-thiiti
any gfain'nf the kind I have seen or even
dreamed of. On an exhausted plantation
near UiuilkwUrt! kit Kills of "Little
River, in old Worn-Out Farfiehl;Mr. J. R.
D. (I trust'he Will excuse this 'liberty; hi
an old grey-headed man.) bus succeeded
this year in making corn, measuring from
twelve to thirteen inches in circumference
and frtim twelve to foiirteen indies in'
length, having from forty io forty-eight
rows ot grains on the ear! This, however'
i'i ayiild of but b ieearto the stalk—the
ears from' stalks bearing five or six ears
or more, are,-of course, smaller; though
as mtiny as three, generally, of the ears
from those stalks, with’each measure,
when shelled, nearly twice ns much as
the forgets ear of the common corn. It is;
mostly of the white gourd-seed corn.—
The. question may naturally arise in tire
minds of many—whence did Mr. D. get
his seed ? I answer, that HU made it by n
careful and judicious selection front a va
riety ot sped— Ihe one is, 1. learn, remark
able only for a grain an inch deep, or n
cob the size, of your finger*—a not her, liir
its thickness of cob, hut provokiugly short
-and the other for its length of roll. pro.
■kingly slritdei; &c. &c.;either of which
Ireing regarded in its single and seperalet
capacity would have Iteen. looked upon
tty most planters as family worth plant-!
ing. I believe he obtained the most of
these varieties when' travelling .through
the Western Country some four years
last; the crop from whkh has;yielded
lim rorn which he might well challenge
any of the Western Slates Irofii whence,
rt came, and onr. own State, tn lieat.—
Thus it is, that Mr. D. has made a won
derful improvement in the great stafflof
life; and the more credit is-due the pub
lic irenefactor, on account (ifhis age and
limited experience. He is a 'than ol' un-
tiring energy, good judgment, nf an ac
tive, grasping mid masterly tnind, and of
a high-toned spirit ofinilepenilence,Which
I sincerely hope, will soon gain him that
reward which he so richly, merits.
