But jf has succeeded so well with me, that I am de sirous that other housowives should partake of the benefit, I gathered the cucumbers from the vines, and without any other preparation than wash ing them clean, dropped them into ? stand con taining a mixture of whiskey and' water, one part of the former to throe of the latter, I secured them against gnats, fl es, and external a ' r ’. b y a flannel close over the top, and laying ovor this a board,und stone, nmi nnUUor -'"•’jIdxs printers of tho wost, jn various direc- moved or examined them unti.’ Christmas, ^ ...^ j ■ - - - - - ’ cxecutivo purposes; this letter from the Gen. may be supposed a relief to me.

I have no doubt vinegzr, for all pur poses, might be made in this way, cheaper than from cider. InsteatLof cucumbers, there might be added to the whiskey and water, some oth er vegetables, ns grape leaves, beets, strawber ries, &c. &c. when making vinegar was the on ly object to bo accomplished. TEASEL. Some of the farmers of Williamsburgh, Mass, have undertaken tho culture of tho Teasel, or Fuller’s. Thistle—and it is estimated, that this plant now occupies about fifty acres in that town. It is gratifying to see tho attention of the farmers turned to new articles of agricul ture, which promise to reward their labors. The Teasel is cultivated in England and France, Hollund, Germany, &c. for the pur pose of raising the nap upon woollen cloths.— The following remarks upon its culture are ex tracted from Mr. Loudon’s Encyclopedia: Tho Teasel grows stronger on deep, loamy clays, not over rich. The soil should be plough ed deep and well pulverised. In England, it • V* ' I;---_1 • ' sow it in rows, with intervals ol eighteen or twenty-four inches, between them; the plants in the rows should bo kept clean and mellow by ploughing and hoe ng. The heads arc cut at three different times as thoy become ripe, by means of a knife with a short blade. A pair of strong gloves is necessary in the opera tion. The heads, attached to a few inches of the stem, aro tied in handfuls, and put in dry sheds, yhehce they arc taken out, and exposed to the sun daily, till they beconio perfectly dry. No rain should fall upon them. In England, they aro sorted into three kinds, according to quali ty, and mado into packs. Tho produce varies from 150,000 to 250,000 heads of the first and second sorts on an acre. The crop often fails. Parkinson observes, that by burning the straw and rofuso stuff after tho crop is gathered, the Teasel will be found not to impoverish, but to improve tho land. To save seed, leave a few of the best seeds, and when ripe, tho seed may bo separated by flails.—Hampshire Gazette. Coloured Cotton.—At an nnnunt cotton show of the South Carolina Agricultural Society, hsld on the 2»>u of February, a letter was read from Mr. J. W.

And between you ana I reader thero was another reason for it too, and that was, I knew nothow to shoot off* musket,but’twos the first time that ever 1 was in arms. Being come into tho field, the captain called us all into close order, in order to go to prayer, nnd thou prayed himself. And when our exercise' was done, the captain likewise con cluded With prayer. Solemn prayer in a ueld upon a day of training, I never knew but in New England, where it seems it is a common custom- About three of the clock both our expreiso and prayers being over, we had a very noble dinner, to which all the clergy were invited." h A loquacious parrot .—There Is » most talkative bird of this description in the vicinity of our residence, says thp N. Y. Chronicle. Night «nd day its tongue runs on in endless chatter, ns unmeaning 115 we have heard occasionally from others of the biped race. Some mischievous boys have taught it to articulate the wordjirel and several local alarms have been occasion ed, and once or twice the bells li«ve been set a ringing, by its inopportune vociferation. A tew days since acar- penter, rmplovcdin making some repair* to n door of our dwelling, tor which purpose it had been taken off its hinges, wns alarmed, lie being " fireman, by the un timely cry of this obstreperous bird, and suddenly let ting go his hold of tho door, that lie might run to bis post of duty, we who happened tube nassingat themo ment, came near to being crushed by Its weight. Real ly, the law against those who create talse alarms should be put into effect in relation to the foul offender. St. Giles’ Church, in London, has now an Illumin ated dial; the clock, by its own revolution lights itrelf as soon as the sun sets, and extinguishes the same when the sun rises, it has not taken tho course I exactly calculated u P° n » yet, as tho public anxiety is great to reach tho truth in this case, I avail myself of the op portunity given nje of drawing it, erelong to both point and termination, I havo written on to Gen. Jackson, informing him precisely of the course and hearing of the subject. Mr. Clay having peremptorily aud positively deni ed the whole, both as regards himself und his friends, will, of course, bring tho circum stance fully and fairly out. I cannot,' myself, have the smallest possible doubt about the issue. You will bo pleased to publish the short corres pondence I bad with Mr. Noah Znne, of this place, and his note lo me, with the certificate respecting Mr. Clay’s denial. I begtliat the whole may bo at once published. Mr. Clay having gotten a copy of Gen. Jackson's letter to me, without any expectation or approbation at nil, I deem it proper that there should he no delay in its publication by me. Tho course pursued to obtain the copy takonby Mr. Clay with him, is, in my opinion, altogether incor rect and improper, and I endeavored to arrest it before the copy was made out: but, as will be seen bv the enclosed certificate, my letter was withheld, and denied to me until the whole was completed: and not only one, but two cop- pies taken of it.

It was always his intention, he says, that if Mr, Clay ever deniod the facts, to give him up his authority. It is of tho first character and order in our Go vernment and country.—It only awaits Mr. Clay’s denial, when the wholo subject will bo brought to issuo before tho public. I make this communication to you on many accounts— but, especially, as I understand Mr. Clay is to tall on you this morning, nnd to pass a if hour or two with you on his way down ihe liver from Pittsburgh.

Jackson’s letter to me, under date of tho 5th fhstant, (nnd from your subsequent messago by him to me, reqttes- tng a view of the letter,) I fully calculated upon u meeting with Mr. Clay at your bouse.

It did not at all occur to me, npon your application for tho Iqttor, that a copy would bo takflii of it without my special concurrence. It appoitrs, however, that you have taken one. I hopo you do not propose’ making any uso of it, contrary to tho usual and established cus tom in such cases. It is a document of nty own, loaned to you in tho most perfect confi dence; and therefore, I presume, ought to bo so regarded. You will obligo me by returning iho letter by Mr. Ilollingsw’orth; and, agreo.t- Gly to usage, I trust Mr. Clay’s denial to you will bo communicated to me in writing, under your own signature.

General Jackson to Mr. Beverly. Hermitage, Juna 5th, 1827. i Dear Sir—Your letter of tho 15th uli. from . Louisville, Ky. is just received, nnd in confor mity with your request, address my answer to Wheeling, Va. "Your inquiries relative to the proposition of bargain made through Mr. Clay’s friends to' some of mine, concerning the then pending Presidential election, were auswered freely and frankly at the time; hut without any cal culation that they were to he thrown into tile public journals—but facts cannot be altered; and as your letter seems not to have been writ ten for publication, I can assureyou that, having no concoalmont myself, nor any dread arising Irom what I may have said on the occasion und subject alluded to, my feelings towards you aro not tlie least changed. I always intended, should Mr. Clay come nut over his own name, and deny having any knowledge of the commu nication made by his friend to my friends nnd to mo, that I would givo him tho name of tho gentleman through whom that communication canto. I have not seen your letter nlludcd to, as having been published in tho Telegraph; although that paper, as I am informed, is rogu- n\.Wiis]nnglvj fo .. 5 ij)L| j; 8 . letter has not cotno to hand, of courso I can not say whether your statoment is substantially correct or not—I will repeat, however, again, the occurrence, and to which tny reply to you must have conformed, nnd from which, if thero ■ has been any variation you can correct it. ft is this. Early in January, 1825, a membor of Congress of high respoctability, visited tne ono morning, and observed, that he had a. commu nication iio Was desirous to iuukt> to mo, that he was informed there was a great intriguo go ing on ; and that it wus right I should be in formed of it—that lie cunio ns a friend—and let me receive tho communication as I m jht, the friendly motives thro-igh which it was madirno hoped would prevent any change of friaiulship or feclins with regard to him. To which I replied, from his high standing us a gentloman, and member of Congress, and ft omltis uniform friendly and gentlemanly conduct towards my self, I could not suppose, he would make any communication to mo which hu supposed was improper. Therefore, his motives being pure, let me think as I might of tho communication, my feeling towards him would itjmmn tin diet ed. The gentloman proceodod. lie said ho had boon informed, by thofriend£of Mr. Cl ay, that the friends of Mr. Adams bud made ovci- tures to them, saying, if,Mr. Clay ami- his friends would unite in aid.of the election i.f Mr. Adams, Mr. Clay should bo Secretary of State. That the friends of Mr. Ad mit were urging, as a reason to induce tho friends, of Mr. Clay to accede to thoir proposition,‘that if I was elected President, Mr. Adams would ho continued Secretary of State, (inuendo: thero would bo no room for Kentucky.) ' That tho friends of Mr. Clay stated, tho YVest did not wish to separate from tho West i nnd if I would say, or permit any of my-.confidential friends' to say, that in case I was elected Pres ident, Mr. Adams should not be continued Secretory of State, by a complete union of Mr*. Clay and his friends, thoy would pul an end to tho Presidential contest in one houh And f.o was of opinion it was right to fight such intri guers with their own wonpons. To which, in substance, I replied, 44 that in politics as in ev ery thing else, my guide was principle; and contrary to tho expressed and unbiassed will ^f tho peoplo, or.tbefr“constituted agents, I nevor would step into tho Presidential chair, and requested hint to sny to Mr. Clay and his friends, (for I did suppose ho had-comc from Mr. Clay, although he used the term Mr. Clay’s friends,)' that before I would reach the Presi dential chair by such means, of bargain and corruption, I would seo tho earth open and swallow both Mr. Cloy and his friends, mid ntysclf wiihlhcm. , If thoy had not confidence in me to believe, if I wns elected, tb u 1 would call to my aid in tho cabinet, incn of tint first virtuo, talent and integrity, not to votfc for me." The second day after this communication :md reply, it was announced in the newspapers that Mr. Clay h;ul come out openly and avowedly in favor of Mr. Adams. It may bo proper to observe, that in the sup position that Mr. Clay was privy to ihe propo sition stated, I ntny havo done injust.ee to (urn; if so, the geittlemau uffoimhig nw con explain.
