Should Keep the dew of youth ;

The W ouders of Ancient Egypt.
The eminent German hierologitl, Dr.
us, at thisti ..e employed in Egypt by tue Uuv
eminent of Prussia, aud who dales his letter <.
Gizcn, ’‘al the foot of the pyramid of Uheops,
says:
“We arrived here on the Sth of Nuvembei
and here we have passed the first day oi Un.
new year. But who can foretell the extent oi
the rich harvest we may reap on this eailiest
scene oil he his. ury of man kina'? it is incredi
ble how little lais spot has been explored, though
more visited than any other part of egypt.”
* ♦ • * The best maps oi this sue hithert
produced represent two tombs besides ihe pyra
ip ids, having particular inscriptions and figures
Now, we have drawn a minute topographic H
plan of the whole monumental plan, and on bis
plan there are marked, independently of the
pyramids, forty five tombs, whose occupants i
have ascertained by the n t riptions. There are
altogether etpiuy-iuo tombs, which, on ac< ouin
of their inscriptions or other peculiarities, de
mand particular a item ion. W ith tue exception
ol about twelve, which belong to a later periou.
all these tombs were erected contemporaneously
with or soon after the ouildmgoi the great pyra
mid, and consequently their uates throw an in
valuable light on the study of human civiliza
tion in tn? most remote period ol antiquity.
• • ' I'he sculpiures in relief aie surpri -
ingly numerous, and represent whole figuie>,
some the size of life, and others of various di
mensious. • ♦
♦ Ihe paintings are on back grounds of th<
finest chalk. I'hey are mi ueious and beaut;
iul beyond concept.ion — us /res/i uuu perfect as o
faus/wa yesveraay. The pictures and s ulptures
on tue walls of the tombs represent, tor the mos.
part, scenes in the lives of the deceased person*,
wiiose wealth in cattle, fish, boats, servants, &c.
is ostentatiously displayed before the eye of th<
spectator. All this gives an insight into the de
tails ol private life among tue ancient Egypt
ians.

think 1 could, wit ho t difficulty, make a Coun
Calender of the reiga of King Cheops. ♦ • *

From this account of the actual state of Egypt
ian researches, we perceive there is ample op
portunity lor mure extensive discoveries than
nave yet been made; and ihe extraordinary
c laracter ot those already before the public can
not fail to stimulate and encourage us in our re
searches. A wri er, whom 1 have be'ore cited,
has condensed from Kosellini and other hierolu
gists the following remarks:
“Philologists, astronomers, chemists,naii ters,
architects, physicians, must return to iigypi ’<•
learn the origin of language and writing—of the
calender and solar motion—of the an of cutting
gr<inite with a copper chisel, and ol giving elas
ticity to a copper sword—of making glass wit.
the variegated hues of the rainbow—of moving
single i locks of polished syenite, nine hutvlre
tons in weight, for any distance, by land and wa
ter—oi building arches, round and pointed, will,
mason.c precision unsurpassed at the presen
day, and antecedent, by two th msand years, to
the Cloaca Maxima oi Rome—of sculptuiinga
Doric column a thousand years before the Do
rians are known in history- ut fresco paiming it;
im|>erishable culors---andot practical know ledge
in anatomy.
“Every craftsman can behol', in Egyptian
monuments, the , rogress ol bis art tour thuus
and years ago; ai d w hether it be a wheelwrigii
building a chariot; a shoemaker drawing bi
twine; a leather cutter using the self-same form
ol kniie of old as is considered the best loi u.
now ; a weaver throwing the same hand shuttle;
a whitesmith using that identical form of blow -
pipe but lately recognised lobe the most etticient;
the seal engraver cutting, in hieroglyphics, su< h
names as Shoofs, above tour thousand three
hundred yeais ago; or even the poulterer, remo
ring the pip from geese ; all these and many
moreevi a.ices of Egyptian priority nowr-quiie
but a glance at the plates of Rosellini'’’*
To this catalogue of Egyptian arts a long ad
dition might be made of monuments descriptive
of the goldsmith’s and jewellers’work; instru
ment.! music, singing, dancing, and gymnastic
exercises, including chili ten’s games, likesonie
ot the present day. the tasteful fuinitu eof tlieii
houses; ship building; drawings in natural his
tory, so true to life that the French naturalists,
by means of them, instantly recognised the sev
eral species of Egyptian birds designated by
them; and of numberless other branches of art,
which time will not permit me to particularize.
Can we w nder, then, at the high eulogium
which 1 have before cited from the Scriptures,
on the great leader of the Israelites, that he was
learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; or
at the still higher panegyric on King Solomon,
whose wisdom is said to have eraiZerf “all the
wisdom of Egypt?”? Can we any longer fee’
surprised at the enthusiam of Champoilion
when, on landing for the first time in Egypt he
knelt to the ground and kissed the soil! j n ' his
own glowing language, after traversing that
country of wonders and arriving at the monu
ments of Karnak, he says: “All that I had seer
appeared miserable in comparison with the gi
gantic conceptions by whicu 1 wassurroun e
at Karnak. I shall take care not to describ
anything; for, either my description would no
express the thousandth pat • f wh toughtto tc
said, or, if I diew but a faint sketch of it, I shout
be set down for an enthusiast, or perhaps for a
madman.”:

—And Gen. Jackson did not commit himself
gainst a National Bank until the third year ui

appeared, that the triends of the Bank ceased lo

The Dis'ributinn of the proceeds of the Public

Ayes, Messrs. Ct y and the “Democratic Re

ng me administration of Gen. Jack-on. They
wice passed a Distribution bill, and several
listingui-hed men of the party about that time
iad begun to base their popularity upon H eir
upportot that measure; but Gen. Jackson saw
.ual it would “enure” politically to the »• I vantage
if Mr. Clay, and he contrived to deteai the leg
islation of Congress, by the exereise of extreme
ower. The party seeing the will of Gen. Jack
son, rather th..n their own error in supporting
•he distribution measure, c t loose from it, and
henceforward denounced it as a “Federal”
measure.
We have here cited the three leading issue
between the two great parties of the country,
upon which the Loco Focos base their senseles.-
lamot ol “Federalism” against Mr. Clay an.,
the whigs, and we have clearly demonstr. te..
that two of them al least have had the sanction
■ >f the most distinguished Republicans who have
tiled tue Presidential chair. We will now go
further, and remind our friend of the Richmond
(inquirer, (who, for bis own sake, w e are soriy
o see encouraging this driv llmg and <owar,.ty
node ot assault upon the VV hus,) as well as the
housand and one of the smaller Iry ot his party,
hat the Federal members of Congress almost
o a man voted against the charter ot the s< con..
United Slates Bank; and as ably as zealously
ipposed theTarirt. The “Democracy ol the
country,” (with whom we were then proudlo bt
indentified,) with Madison and Monroe at theii
head, maintained precisely the ground now oc
cupied by Henry- Clayand the VV higs- support
ing the Bank as the main pillar of the national
prosperity.
These are historical facts which defy refuta
tion. The cry of Federalism against the Whigs.
>s as discreditable to those who use it, as it is
false and unfounded; and we look tor its disust

and consequent ruin. In my judgement, no
liingcan rescue our government from this, the
common late oi republics, but a change in its

triend with good qualifications, remarked with
earnestness: “No man can feel more grateful
han I do for personal acts ol kindness, but i
making this appointment I nave a high public
iuty to peiform, and 1 must look to the public
interest.”
A departure from these principles drove me,
reluctantly, from political lif»; and in all sin

me again into politics, on principles opposed to
hose which I approve, and on which lendeavoi

good has resulted from this innovation. Has
it made our Chief Magistrates more faithful to

a comparison of our 1- te history with the past,
answer this question. Whothoughtof asking
a pledge from the venerated fathers of the repub
lic above named? A sound head ard an hon
est heart, I think, are the best pledges. These
will rarely fail, whi st ex erience shows that
pledges are made to be broken.
No i ne who is named for the Chief Magis
tracy from a respectable ouree shield feel him
self at liberty to say that he would decline a
nomination for that oilice. But I beg you to
believe, mv dear sir, that this remark is not
prompted by a vanity which leads me to sup
pose that my namecould be favorably consider
ed bv the contemplated Whig Convention. The
friends of Mr. Clay, in consideration of his emi
nent qualifications and long public services, are
looking with no ordinary solicitude to liisnomi
nation. And I assure you, that I have no wish,
by the obtrusion of my name, to separate my
friends, isl have any from theirpresent associa
tions. Ido not desire and would not receive the
Presidency if within my reach, as the instru
ment of a paity. Indeed I should countit no
honor to have my name associated with the
townward course of our Government, and such
a course is accelerated and only accelerated, by
bra pariyism. To bring hack the Government
to its old foundations, to restore its lost character,
its firmerpnrity, energy and elevation, would
he an achievement second only to that ofWash
ington’s. An achievement which would make
any individual the favored son of his Country.

his object, no honest man can desire the Presi

AGRICULTVRAL
From the Southern Cultivator.
IMPROVEMENT OF CORN, &c.
As the season sot harvesting this valuable crop
•s now near at hand, we commend to the reader’s
mention the following article, Irotn the“Ameii-.
can Farmer.” The labor ol selecting seed corn
u the manner suggested, is indeed small when
-ompared to the immense valueot the seed over
•iai ordinarily obtained from the crib at plant-
g time, an i we look lorwaid to the day, as nut'
,r distant, when this mode of selecting seed
ill be very generally adopted by our planters.
T the Editor of the American Farmer:
1 had the pleasure, a lew days ago, of shoei
ng you a couple ol stalks of coin, each conlain
n,g seven perfect ears, t hey were taken from
field of twenty five acres, on the larm ol Gen.
.. M. FormaU, of Cecil county, A.d. and were
• fair sample ol tue crop. General Forman
ntormed me ihal he had many yeais ago adopt
'd the plan of selecting nis seed corn, always
aKing it from the stalks that have the greatest
lumber oi perfect ear.-; and that by continuing
nis practice he has brought liis corn to the liigu
quality represented by the specimens alluded to.
>'liis has been uniformly tue result withall who
nave persevenngly practiced it. The first, I be
i- ve, to do so, was Mr. Cooper of New Jersey,
forty or fitly years since; then the “Alaryi .nu
,win coin” was produced by some gentlemcnon
rhe Eastern Shore: then tue Baden corn was
announced, and the Meicer corn, also; all were
reduced in the same way. General Forman
ntends to measure an acre, which shall be a
tair sample of the whole field, and let us know
he quantity of shelled corn it shall have pro
duced; this will enable our farmers to compare
he product of this corn with that of the com
non kinds.
A word or two on the utility of attending to
such things by our tanner.-. The wonder is
hat every body does not do it, and the only rea
son I can suggest tor its not being done, is, that
eople are not generally aware, that all kinds oi
plants may be improved by careful attention to
oretMing, just as much its animals are. There
•re ai tuis day very few farmers so ignorant as
..ol to know that their horses, cattle, sheep and
•mgs, are wonderfully improved by a judicious
-election of breeders. You will scarcely rind
i tanner now that does not improve nis stock
by this means. I need not enlarge on this fact.
3ut where are they that improve their corn and
.cheat, and rye and oats, in the same way !
I'bey are only found here and there, and so sel
dom, that they are considered prodigies. Every
•ouy, almost, when he wants an improved ani
le oi this kind, purchases some celelua ted kind
or trial, which may or may not be what is re
resented, or m iy or may not sun his soil or his
climate; but never thinks of improving what he
aas already got. No one ever thinks of cro-s
--ngthe breed of his corn, wheat, rye or oats,
and thus improving them; and very lew even
...ke the trouble of selecting the best of that
which they have lor seed. Let me assure our
farmers that they can im; rove their com and all
o her crops by cross breeding, just as easily as
m y can iheir animals. They can change the
size and color of the cob; make the corn early
a late, yellow or white, soli or fliniy; all by
cross frreo.wii', wiih no cost and very little trouble.
Generally, all that is done to impioveour
crops is bv manuring the lane and cultivating
the growing plants. Now for a moment let us
-ee how it would do in improving animals,
merely to leed them well and give them good
stabling, paying no attention at all to the selec
tion of bleeders. All will admit that stock rais
ed and kept in this way would soon “run out,”
n ■ matter how good it may have been at the be
gn i ;g. Well, what is high feeding of stock
out analagous to high manuring of land? The
one feeds the cattle, the other feeds the crops;
neither does any thing more than supply the
wants of the individual animal or plant. It
oes not and cannot change the character or
quality of its progeny. When feeding, either
of plants or animals, does all it can, it does no
•>ore than simply keep the individuals as they
were, in reference to their natures—it generally
produces a goo", crop, or a fat animal, and that
is all.
‘•But,’’ I anticipate 1 shall be asked, “/tote are
we to improve our corn, wheat, &c. by cross
breeding?”
Wheat, rye and oats may all be treated alike
—and the process given tor one will answer lor
all. Take severs! good kinds of wheat, bald
headed and bearded, luestem, purple stem, n d
and white, five or six kinds in all; mix them to
ether thoroughly, and sow the parcel tn some
good ground ar a considerable distance from
any other wheat field. At harvest time so into
he field and select the best heads, those that are
largest, best tilled, and that contain the best
grains, on the shortest and robust stalks, and
'eep the seed tor another year’s sowing. The
next year at harvest make the same selection
fir seed. Continue this selection for two or
three years, and then you will find you will
have a wonderfully improved variety ol whea .
But to keep tue quality oi this new wheat up to
its standard, and even to continue the improve
ment, you ought always to select a quantity for
he succeeding year’s sowing in the same way.
t his is not as troublesome as at first sight it
appears to be. A half a bushel or a bushel of
see 1 wheat may easily be selected in this way
in a few hours —hours that possibly might not
nave been devoted to as profitable employment.
The cross breeding of corn requires a little
more trouble. You have an excellent kind o
corn, but it is late in maturing and has ather a
arge cob. Select some other kind ot corn that
lipens as early as you desire, and has the right
sized cob. Plant your late kind as earlv in the
-pring as you can, in every alternate hill, leav
ing the other hills vacant At a later period,
<ay 20 to 30 days later, (according to the differ
■nee between ihe two kinds,) plant the vac: nt
■ills with the early corn. The place of the ex
periment should be remote from any other corn
ield. Cultivate both in the usual way, until
u observe the tassels ot the early kind begin
ling to push. Then careiully cut out all the
isselsof this early kind—do nothing to he lat<
.ind. Watch carefully and cut out all tassel
s they appear from this kind. When the con
s ripe, select all the good ears of the early kin
ir next year's planting. Plant this selected
eed in the usual way the second year, and whet
ipe select the best ears of the earliest ripening
Zou will find in these ears a variety of gra n
n shape and color, and of different qual ty—
lere will be grains resembling both original pa
ent stocks. Now select the grains that sni
you. All the grains will produce a small ert
nd-ear y corn;<but some of the grain on tire
cobs may be small and interior like ihe original
parent, therefore on this the third year, tele 1
ihe grains. Generally this third planting will
establish the variety; but the better way is ti.
■ontinue to select your seed eveiy year. You
may now selec seed with a view to incieasing
he number of ears to ll.e stalk; but take car.
to avoid Se lecting small ears simply becaus.
iere are many on the sialk. If you find a stalk
with three lull sized ears, it is better tu tak
• hem than those from a stalk that has four small
ones.
By these means corn is susceptible of almost
any degree of improvement and change of char
icier; and I am fully satisfied that there is n<
>ne branch of agriculture that would sj xvell
pay for the small amount ol labor and atten
tion required

Crawford Co., Sept. 15, 1843.
Messis. Editors—The communication which
1 am about to make, I designed making to the
Albany Cultivator last year, and would have
done so had it not been for my aversion to ap
pearing in the public prints. lat several times
thought of making the communication over a
fictitious name, but reflected ihat facts are not so
t| t to be received as s ch-, unless a rnan vouches
for their truth in his own proper name.
a may be roper to say, in the outset, that 1
am cultivating land on Flint liver, which I set
led some four years since for my father, aid
which, in the common language here, is “as
rich as I nd ever gets to be.”
Last year 1 planted for experiment one acre
of corn ip tlj|J?il .wing manner:—The grotin
was fir-t deep and lhei laid olf .in
f d corn jdanicl in the cheek
aWhen it was ii|
I bout bl n . I Had it flat weeded ano
thinned tooftestalk. When silking 1 had it flai
weeded again, and Ih's finished the cultivation -
it never having been plowed at all. About the
lime the corn was grown, a severe wind pros
mated i’ in s<veral p aces, so t..at I feared my
•xperiment would fail at Last. In addition to
this disaster, it being in an exposed situ tion,
’he squirrels destroyed a sood deal—the out-i e
row was, 1 think, entirely consumed. At a pro
er 'ime I had what was left gathered, shucked
out, and measured the ears in a barrel in the
same manner as we purchase and sell corn, 1
had one barrel shelled, and as 1 had no measure
upon which to depend, I weighed the corn thus
shelled. According to the weight of this bar
rel, the produce of the acre, as gathered, was
five thou and one hundred an four poun _s.
Now farmers differ as to th“ weight Os a
bushel of corn. In the Southern States it varies
from 50.t0 56 pounds; the latter beingthe maxi
mum weight. This I allowed, and you will
pereeiv, upon calculator., that this will make
it 91 bushels nd nearly half a peck.
I have given you he result of an experiment
Tied under mat y disadvantages. I will now
give you the reasons whic 1 induced me to plant
as I did. It is a fact well known, that corn tn -
Hires better in a colder climate than ours, and
from this I inferred that it suffered too miicit
from the int nse an I collected heai ol the sori in
our climate. This is one reason why 1 planted
so close, for whin grown in tni.lsu timer, the
ground, and therefore tl.e roots, would be pro
ected from the sun by the shade of the com it
self. Another reas'm was, that in appropriat
ing a given number ui stalks to the acre, they
had better be planted at equal distances from
each other in every direction, so that the roots
>f on stalk will not interfere 1 ith those of an
other. Bv this system you make it more profi
table, a- ever}’ particle of earth Wilt be reache 1
bx- the ro< ts, and no portion of soil be Hee from
•ffort while other porti ns are overtasked.
Another reason was, th t when planted so as
to si ade the gn and. (strangeasit may appear,)
it would better stand a drought, by preventing
the largest portion of a sho.ier from evapor 1-
ting, as is t e Ctse w ere the sun has tree ac
cess to the ground That th s i lea "lay not ap
pear so novel, 1 ask you to r.-flec that the sp .ts
w-hich remain mois tor the longest time in the
woods arethore which are covered with the
densest growth-
Another was, that it would save labor in he
cultivation; lor when the com is high enough to
sh de the ground, weeds and grass cease to
flourish. An . still another reason was, that it
-ave l the nec ssily ol cutting he roots with the
plow. I know this is a controverted point
among practical lamer-; but 1 would just as
s.on expect that an animal would be more
thrifty by having his limbs broken or his- m >uth
lacerated, as to suppose that a plant would be
more vigo ous in consequence of having its
leaves or r ots injured. The latter, vegetable
phisiologv teaches us, serv as the mouth, and
l e former as the lungs, of plants. It has again
been objected, that such close planting revent
ed the corn from getting air, which was neees
sary for its health. It has see tied trange that
th s objec ion should have been urged, for it a
philosopher were experimenting in pn utnatic-,
he would hardly say his receiver was “air-liuhC
if it had a crack of two feet in it. Finally,
Messrs. Editors, we may theorize on the subject
as much as we please, and there may be as many
objections urged as it is possible to produce, yet
unprecedented sue; ess and a full “crib” will
answer them all—at least to my satisfact on.
There were two other acres > onner-ted with
the one upon which the experirtF nt was tried,
part on one side and part on the other, planted
and cultivated in the usual way. The product
<4 both tug ther scarcely equalled the one I re
port, though ihe corn had bee:, worked oitener.
This year I have p anted some 8 or 10 acres af
ter pretty much the same plan, and it is decided
ly the best corn I have; the freest fr mi weeds
and grass, and will doubiless pro luce double of
any other corn on the plantation, though the
land is equally g >od els where.
1 am your friend, truly,

Corn Stalk Syrup.—Mr. H. J. Chalmers,
of Monroe county, has politely 1 ft at our ol
fice, a bottle of syrup, made from the common
Corn Stalk. We have les ee: its quality, and
can pronounce its saccharine flavor to be mtl.i
er and richei than any of tue Louisiana Syrup
weever tasted—it has nothing of the acidity
often detected in other Syrups, and particulaily
in molasses; but leaves upon the palate a pleas
ant and agreeable sensation, that irresistibly
makes you smack your lips.
Mr. Chalmers refers us lo a communication
he sent the Messenger, shewing his ex, erimen -
al operation- in making the Syrup, but as it lias
not vet appeared in that papet, we are deprived
for the present, the gratification of presenting i
to our leader 1 .
Mr. C. informs us, that he is perfectly s; t s
fied he could have made Sugar; but he had t o
shallow kettles tor the purpose, nor could i.e
ptocureatiy. He is so well pleased with the
lit-Ie experiment he has made, that be intends
going more extensively into the business next
year, nd patriotically exclaims, “1 trust the day
is not far distant when the Planters of Georg a
will become independent of the West Indies „n
Louisiana, for their Sugar and Syrup.” Let
our Planters but enter upon the business will:
the same spirit and zeal that actuates Mr. Chal
mers, and the day will not be far distant when
his hopeswill be realized—may he live to see it.

Corn Stalk MoLisses.—Mi. H J. Thomp
son, a thorough going, enterprising plantet ol
this county, called at our office lew days since
to exiiitui to us a specimen ot niolasses, ma.re

have given the article a lair test and do not lies

whete it is know n, is esieetned superior to any

It was then too late '<> plant tor the purpose, anu
he resolved to set aside a small patch wnich
had teen planted in the ordinary way, for tin
purpose. From this he removed the ears as
they put forth, and allowed it to stand until the
fodder was ripe. Having constructed a mill
tor the purpose, he ex; ressed thejuice from the
stalks and boiled it in a common kettle, reduc
ing about seven gallons to two, which produced
the fine specimen ol molasses which he has ex
hibiied to us. Nut having | Luted his coin 10.

thing like a very nice estimate of the atnoun
which any given quantity of land would y tel
—but he assures us that the test which he has
given the matter, in ihe manufacture of the
twenty-five or thirty gallons which he has made
inis year, has not only satisfied him that he
bestof molasses can be made fromeurn stalk-,
but that he can obtain a better return for his la
hor from its cullivatim than from any oth<
crop. A specimen of the molasses made by
Mr. Thompson may be seen at this office.
We have been informed by Col Jno. B
Walker that he is now making some experi

w-enty-five gallons of syrup. I present you
with a specimen, which will enable you to
judge of its quality. I deferred too long in strip
ing the shoot from the stalk. 1 think if the
hoot had been stripped in time, the yield would
lave been ineteaseit. lam inclined to think
that an acre, if in a high state ol improvement,
and well cultivated, can be made to yield al
focsZ seventy five gallons. The corn should be
trilled, and the drills about three feet apart.—
Planting in this manner, will prevent the corn
from shooiing(so it is said,) and will enable the
-talk to retain the juice it is evident that the
-hoot should not be permitted to remain on the
-talk until the grain begins to form.
Yours, respectfully,
James 9. Pope.
