_ r nrjinbefl you in my former note that “in-

you a faithful account of its yield/’ 1 now proceed
to redeem that pledge, and 1 do it with the more
cheerfulness, ns I eonceiva-it but an act of justice
due to Mr. Thorbum. that d»o*c at least with
whom his corn lias snccecded woll, should speak
of it as it deserves, in order llmt so Ur *» -their
moral influence may go, Li* uutnc may he rescued
from the fate of those who practice “deception^
cither upon private individuals, or the public.
With these explanatory remarks, 1 will state it*
yield, and such other characteristic traits as it
strikes tue to possess.
Bly patch was planted on a plot of ground in
my garden, 32 by 2d feel in dimensions making
73B square feet. Tlie soil was deep rich loam,
which. t described to you, 1 highly manured.
It had the benefit of good culture, and its work
ing was always done at the right time. On toe
15th September, 1 gathered and housed my little
crop, consisting of 254 good ears, rejecting all me
nubbiuf While tlie corn was in the roasting enr
•tale, as I observed in liiy former note. I pulled 24
good eorr. If theu, I add these to Uiose I pull
ed on the 15th September, it gives the product of
S66 ears ou 736 square feet of ground, and as
there are 43,500 square feet in an acre, the yield,
calculating that each ear will shell half a tin : oi
com, - was at tlie rate of 123 33-65 bushel* pur
•ere. But this i- far short of the lictuaJ yield.as one
of my cows fonud her way into my garden on Me
night of the 25th of August, and destroye . a con
siderable quantity. Besides this, my cli ckens de
predated largely upon it. Having spoken of iu
yield, 1 will proceed to state its peculiar traits ut
character.
Its suckers branch out from the root, and after
arriving at maturity, it is difficult to distinguish
them from the main stalks, being so uearly equal
in size, and so alike in appearance.
The stalks and suckers were from 9 to 11 feet
high; not so tiiicjc as may be supposed from trie
number of suckers which were thrown out and
permitted to grow, as the larger varieties of field
com, which are generally carefully suckered.—
From actual measurement, however, 1 can state
the suckers and staiks in my putch were from 3
3-10 to 4 1-10 inches iu circumference, measured
four inches from tlie ground. 1 planted hut two
grains of corn in each hill, uud yet those lulls had
on them 10,14, and in oue ifutrnce lu good sized
ears each.
The ears have teu rows of grain on them—are
from 8 to 11 inches long, of medium thickness;
the grain a beautiful peurly white flint, of great
specific gnvily, and Jroin the sweetness of tu,-
roastiugears, which we cooked, 1 nave no dnnb
will prove an excellent meal-eom. uni lie ibuud
to possess u ver/lurge quantity of saccharine mat
ter. It uiokus, us uiiy be presumed, a very iar-e
quantity of fodder; and on taut account is desira
ble to a very great portion ol com planters, most
of whom rely in u measure upon their coru-neida
to furnish winter provender lor tueir stock.
- So lur from its being a late corn, und ‘requiring
two seasons to mature it, I consider .it au early
com, which opinion is borne-out by the fact of iny
having gathered and honsed mine on tie Joth oi
September, a period when. iniicii other com is
scarcely out of the milky state.
I have given tlio result of my own experience
above, and will add, that two of my friends ivho
made experiments with it also, speuk in high terms
of its productiveness. Besides tnese gentlemen,
1 observe iu your paper that Dr. Muse uud Mr.
Sniigston.of the Eastern Shore of this State, arc
well pleased with their experiments.
I hare thus discharged u fluty which I owe to
Mr. Thorhurn, uud will remark, that in doing so
I have no possible interest, eithqj* of u pecuniary
nature, or of feeling, to subsorve. He is n gen
tleman that I know not, except by reputution. 1
have never bad tlie 'slightest correspondence with
him, and in all tium ui probability never will. But
it is sufficient for me to kuow that he is adistin-

MONEY MATTERS.”*
Richmond.—The Compiler of the&thinst. says
diat tne merchants of that city will have to pay to
New-York, during the present mouth, about hall
u million of dollars.
Tbe Whig of same date says
Tlie pressure in the Money Market continue*
unabated. Wall the exception of the Exchange
— 1 Rehear, last week discounted quite
ver>* little to the re-
Banks continue to
' • general suspension

tite' country, nnd until these can he
ac Banks withhold aui, the merchant.-
are wiflioiitresomce, and iiuist, from toe nature
of things, be unable to meet their obligations. A,
yet, no faimre Ins occurie I in the city—mid we
note witu pleasure the general and noble deter
mination of our merchants to spare no sacrifice
to meet their engagements. The generous urn.
liberal manner, too, iu which they aid each other,
deserves high prune. Their conduct iu lhi<, re
spect might well be imitated by the Buuk* loivoiti*
each other—it would tend to their own ease anu
ute general relief.
Funds on New-York cannot be procured ui
any price. TIk* Banks draw at 5 percent, on
mother notes—hue these cannot be obtaiued ex-
ce} t in small quantities. Ten per cent, would be
readily commanded, if there w ere drawers. For
eign exchange is from 18 to 2d per cent. Regti
tar sharing is pretty well over for the present—all
surplus funds being vested. James River uno
Kanawha Scrip 12 to 15 per cent, discount.
The small dealers complain greatly ofthe scar
city of small change. The ^convenience m felt
more or less by all classes. It is frequently re
marked, that tlie Banks iu vio! iting one law for
: tiieir own safety, might not to hesitate to violate
another for the good of tlie community—i.
issue one dollar notes, if they \vill not furnish
specie for change. ’ "
Rhode Island.—In the General Assembly on
the 2d instant, the_ Committee ou tlie causes oi
the Bunk suspensions reported. The substance
of flieir report is thus given by tlie Providence
Courier.
The genera] language of the report nttributr *
flie cuirus lor siispeiHion to tin* vast increase o.
nude throughout tlie world—tne diminution oi
the precious metals—and die consequent inflation
of exchange. It considers the resumption of J8.fc»
premature, brought about by the importation o
specie from Europe for selfish purposes, winch,
by various causes, lias been again drawn back.
Tue report afro speaks of die continuation oi
specie payment* in New-York as merely nominal
—.is sustained by all the Government specie funds;
of political movements having deranged the cur
rency *, anu of t.ie want of n .sufficient lari if, for
• he protection of our manufacturers. It speaks
of tue general pecuniary distress, Ac.
And finally, tbe Committee presented a bill for
the consideration of the House, recommending
the re-enactment ofthe first section of tne suspen
sion law of 1837. to be iu force till tile 1st of Feb.
1840. The bill also provided that during the sus
pension, tlie banks should receive flieir own bills
on deposit . at the folio ving raves, viz*, in sum*
not exceeding .^lOO.at li per cent per annum; in
sums over &100, not exceeding $I,U00, at 5 per
cent per annum ; mid in sums over $1,000, at 3
per cent per annum. Corporations to have the
benefit ofthe latter provisions only. The bill afro
provides that no damages shall be assessed by the
hanks on drafts, &c. which have been accepted,
for non-payments.
An amendment, making the President and Di
rectors ofthe banks personally liable for the.pay
ment ofthe bills on duposite, was adopted. Also
an amendment requiring each bonk to receive its
own bills in payment. With these amendments
the bill passed, 43 to 25.

INDIAN RELICS AND ANTIQUITIEt
Probably tl.i-re it no portion of tiia Utui
States richer m those remains of times long gone
by, and races whose existence is now unknown,
than the country stretching along the borders of
the Arkansas from the wilderness of the Rocky
Mottn.' uiH u» t ic Mfrai^ippi. Tins vast cxicikoi
county otters to uie muiqitury a uounUlcisi tienJ
of research and speculation. , m
The country ia yet 00 thiuly and to m
settled,and the nv ocalion* of tiie emigrants to
States *0 varied and so engrossing, a* to nave afV
forded hitherto but little tune or ogpoitunity for
the cxainiiiation.or eveu preservation, «.i uie nu-
m :rou* relic* wUicu are to be found ui the wood*,
among the rocks, and eveu in tne beds of the nv •
ars, throughout this State and tlie territory wtiicit
extends boj ond its western lioiiiidanr. Sull some
thing has been done,nnd a Natural History Socie
ty some time since esuiUlished at this city, biu
which now sceius to lie dyiug a n ittir.il dn
contains in its cabinet some rare rt-inaius ofthe
days that are gone by.
Tlie importance of the collection and preserva
tion of these relics, can hanlly be too deeply un-
preteed upon the minds of Uie present genera-
don. Tbe people from whom many ofuietn are
derived, are rapidly passing away, while from
Nome of these curiosities tbe existeuce of a race
is evidenced wiio must have possessed a degree
of refinement and polish for exceeding that waich
could have been enjoyed by the aborigines found
by our forefathers roaming at large through Uie
wild und tangled forest. These remains are tim
hieroglyphics of some powerful und poushed na
tion whose history through flieir means must yet
be traced by some unborn Chumpouun,
Among tue few reiica winch we have hud the
opportunity of examining, perhaps, tue most re
in irkuble is u mound about tnree ln.ies beiow bus
city, on tiie opposite side of the river. Ill compa
ny with nil intelligent friend, wiio kindly oherud
to show us tlie spot, we sometime sinco visit -u
what, though little known, cannot but be cons u-
ered u great curiOM.y. The tnouud is some dis
tance to the norm oi die rood, and is now m tne
midst ofa heavy growth of wood, festooned wim
the immense vines which form so frequent and o
marked a feature in our forest scenery, it
Uie appearance ofa turtitied place or encumpmeui
covering several acres, The traces ofa ditch or
trench are still evident, uud also of a vallum, or
wall, forming q continuous eminence along it*
borders. Tnroiigiioiit the interior of the enclo
sure, and under the turf which Ims grown over
die ruins ofthe wall, are to he found vast quanti
ties ofa speceies of brick, broken and crumbling,
in all part* of which are to’be seen tbe traces of the
straw by whten it was bound together. This
b *ick Ims evidently never beeu subjected to ti.e
a d lion of great ueut. and was probably dried n
Uie sun. Other curious relics have also been oc
casionally foil' d iu the vicinity, but no examiiui
t:nu of any importance has yet been made. The
antiquity of this interesting object is proved by
Die size of the trees growing on the inouud. ann
among the roots of pdf'cnthe brick is to be found.
Many of these trees are oak and *n<*alru*, some oi
die former of which are eight or nine feet in cir
cumference.
Another large and reinnrkahle curiosity is a
high immntl on the htautiful plantation of Judge
Barkm in. in Clark County, and almost bordering
on the road between this city und the town of
Washington. This mound coversfiom a third to
an h dfan icree. is proportioned with gioat n.cet)
and exactness, and c iiiuot be less than .>0 or 40
feet in height. It ha* never been examined, but
doubtless fonns the tomb of the chieftuiiu of some
former tribe of Indian*.
A key of singular construction was found some
time since, much corroded with rust, and deeply
buried tinder die soil, hy a plantdV in one of die
northern counties. Thi* is one of the strongest
evidences ofa high state ofciviUzatiou among die
na'.ion who could have use for sflcli an implement.
Men in the Hunter stute do uot need locks or bars
»o secure die simple implement* of flieir occupa
tion, nnd even auoor of withe* or slender boughs,
is rarely added to the sligntlv construct
Tiiere must be valuable* to seaure,
vine for the property ofotlier* whit
M indv, the mviiri »b|e attendant mi
must prevail to render a lock or n key a n»
a. t c!e of domestic economy.
We have hastily mentioned.** they happened to
occur to onr mind*, two or three among the
thousand .interesting relic* with which onr plain*
our hilfr. and onr forests ure so richly stored. A>
some other time we shall take up the subject witi.
more accurate and extensive information. It i*
a ’natter of serious importance and we hope tin-
existing Antiquarian Society of this place will pmc.
their operations with more energy, or that a lie.v
one may he organized. The collection that ha-
already been made should he kept in a place of se
curity under tlie eye of a proper officer, nud ex
ertions made to mid to its store*.
