WESTERN FINANCES.
Louisiana—The Legislature of this
itutc has adopted three schemes purpor
ting to bo for the relief of the people—
let. A loan office—the state is to be laid
ell’into lire districts, each of which is to
contain a branch ; (the towns selected
for the location are Jncksop, St. Louis,
St. Charles, Boonevillc and Chariton)—
the whole amount of capital to be loaned pursued him near half a mile, and caught
ovit is $ 200,000 ; the borrower to pay '
an interest of 6 per cent. 2d. The Re
demption law secures to the debtors, the
Tight of holding property, sold under exe
cution, for 2 1-2 years ; nt the expira
tion of which time he may redeem it, by
paying the purchase money with an in
terest of 10 percent. 3d. A \aw, abo
lishing imprisonment for debt.
Kentucky—The paper of the new hank
liss already depreciated 50 per cent—it
is still depreciating with every new issue
—This is a frightful state of things ; and
her'politicians are ut a leys what Course
to take. Some cry out for more paper—
others, arc for creating a sinking fund ;
which by means of the proceeds from
the sale of the public lands beyond the
Tennessee, by means of instalments paid
upon the notes loaned out, anil of the dis
counts paid to the bank, may gradually
call in its paper—as soon as it comes in,
it is to be burnt. But, however wise this
course, the legislature will find it difficult
to retrace their steps. They have gone
so far, that retreating is alt/iost as bad us
going on.
Tennessee—Her paper is 33 I-3d pr.

Hooper struck with his club and knocked
M’Bride down, then drew his knife and
c d him. It appeared that Hdoper had
asked a physician some short time before,
whellier such an operation was likely to
produce death. A long correspondence be
tween M’Bride and Hooper’s wife was pro
duced in evidence, in which both acknow
ledged to entertain towards the other a most
infatuated passion. It appeared that Mrs.
Hooper had bore several children to her
husband, and her letters manifested talent
ami great vehemence of feeling. After an
interesting trial, which excited universal at
tention, the jury, after being absent about
two hours, returned a verdict of nut guilty.
AGRICULTURAL.
ON INCLOSING AND SOILING
F have attached to iny farm a piece of
high ground, which was so much ex
hausted by long and constant cropping
that its produce of corn was not more
than from three to live barrels per acre,
md that of inferior quality. In the fall
of the year, immediately after gathering
tho corn, 1 ploughed the land deep. In
the course of the next summer, (in the
latter part) I ploughed it again, and turn
ed in the vegetation that was on it, which
»v,is all natural. Thus if lay till tho noxf
spring, (being neither trod nor gratoed
throueh tho whole process,) when 1
planted it in corn, prepared and cultivat
ed in the usual way, and gathered eight
barrels of good sound corn per acre.—
There was nothing extraordinary in (he
season, and I impute the whole increase
of product to the inclosing and' deep
ploughing. VVm. Morrison.

GRASS BONNETS.
We are much gratified to learn, by an arti
cle in the Connecticut Mirror, that the. Bri
tish Society of Arts in London lias award-
eel to Miss Woodhnuse, of Wethersfield, it
premium of twenty guineas, (equal to $ 03 So
together with the silver medal of the society
far the elegant specimen of the grass bonnet
made by her, and lately transmitted to Lon
don. The object of Tie British Societ y i*
stated to bo, the obtaining a full knowledge
of the material from which the bonnet is
made, its mode of cultivation, and mode of
preparation for manufacture; and that to in-
"raft on their own industry the skill and in
vention of others. No one can find fault with
the English nation for thus wishing to en
courage her own domestic produce Si manu
factures. .
It is, indeed, paying a compliment to this
country; and, by proper attention, we have
no doubt the straw might be prepared here
of sufficient fineness to become an article 01
export, and thus supplant the Italian straw
in the British mark-1. We entirely concur
f„ the. remark, that if it be file interest of the
English nation, it is equally our interest to
improve our own resources, to foster and re
ward our own native industry and ingenuity,
and extend the sphere of their usefulness,
rather than from an injurious and senseless
preference of foreign gewgaws and foreign
manufactures, to overlook a material which
E rows with spontaneous profusion at our own
doors, and under our own feet, in favor ol
another, which is admitted to he inferior by
critical judges, and which seems to have no
merit exclusively of its own, but that it is
• brought from a distant country.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
The State vs. Richard Hooper.
On indictment for Mayhem, tried at the
late Circuit Court for Bedford county. In
this case, it appeared on the triah that the
defendant had employed Joseph M Bruit m
Ji 3 storekeeper, and tf th* «jpi*r»e ot the
FEEDING STOCK.
As a further improvement in feeding
of cattle, I would recommend that the
bucks be well wet with brine, as they
are stowed away in the fall. This was
recommended to me last winter, and was
done in this way : as niany shucks were
thrown in the house at a time, ns would
raise it six inches, after being well trod
down ; and as soon as they were suffi
ciently trod, the surface tvas well sprink
led with brine ; as many more were then
put in, ami the same process observed,
until the whole were put away. In this
way one bushel and a half of salt was
applied to the shucks taken from a hun
dred bushels of corn, k the consequence
was, my shucks were heartily eaten by
my cattie, and until last winter, they ne
ver would eat them, as long as they
could get pea vines. This is not all the
advantage resulting from salting them ;
it was very, evident that they were ren
dered much more nourishing, as the dry
cattle which were led on the shuck9 a-
lone, were in nearly as good order as
those which were fed on Hie vines. To
do this properly, they should be made
so wet ns to heat and mould. The ex
pense need not be counted at all, as cat
tie, while these shocks are giveu to
them, will require no other Suiting.
As there is so little economy observ
ed in fittening hogs in this part of the
country, l twig leave to notice this sub
ject, and point out a better and cheaper
mode. The common practice is to put
them in a large pen and throw the corn
on the ground ; iu a wet season, they
are soon up to their knees in mire, and
not a dry spot to lay on. In this situa
tion there most be\ much corn wasted,
and they cannot possibly thrive but ve
ry slowly. My practice lias been to
make two square pens adjoining ; they
are both floored with rails, and one of
them is “o covered as to turn the rain,
and - is well littered with leaves or straw,
and fresh litter added, at least once a
week. In the other pen a trough is pla
ced in which they are fed from twice to
three times a day. One meal they arc-
fed on pea*, and the other two on corn ;
itls sometimes boiled and well sailed,
and at other times raw. This has been
my practice for three winters ; and iny
hogs have always fattened very fast and
eat much less than those fed in the un
comfortable manner above described.
Last winter, after killing off half of
my fattening bogs, the others were fed
altogether on line corn meal, and al
though tho weather had got much more
severe, they fattened much faster than
thev had done before, and eat still less.
Last winter, when iny fields were eat
out, I commenced feeding my little stock
of out hogs on coni ; their allowance
was six quarts ; but when the weather
became severe, they fell away fast on
this allowance. 1 then laid the corn n-
side, anil had four quarts of corn meal
boiled every day, in ten gallons of water,
until it boiled down to about eight ; in
this a half pint of salt was occasionally
thrown while boiling ; when done it was
taken up in a large tub, and given them
the next day, and in one week from the
day this practice was adopted, they look
ed much- better, and from that time in
creased in flesh. When the spring o-
pened, they were fed only three times a
week, in the same manner, and in the
month of Mav, reduced to twice a week,
and by the middle of June it was discon
tinued. Had 1 persisted in giving them
the six quarts of raw corn, 1 am satisfied
more than half would not have seen the
spring.
1 have also ndoplod the practice of
grinding all my horse corn in tine meal,

MILLEDGEVILLE, TUESDAY, Aigust 14.
Ob’ The English papers are filled with n de
scription of the ceremonies attending the coro
nation pfthe King, some of which to unsophis
ticated Republicans must appear out n little
ridiculous. But there is one part of the shew
so degrading and insulting to tho multitude,
that wo are surprised even John Dull, silly n»
he is represented to hr, can view it with com
placency The very recital fills us with dis
gust. After tile Coronation in tho Abbey,
comes the sumptuous Banquet in the t tall, where
his nobles, officers, the. assist the king to eat
and drink and be merry. When they arc sati
ated and have retired, “ (he people are to be
admitted indiscriminately into the Hall, to
make spoil of such things as may be left on the
table. Two hours will be allowed lu elapse pre
vious to Ibis scramble, to enuhlr. Ilic persons in at
tendance to remove the plate and other valuables."
But who pays the expense of this sumptuous
Banquet and of all the gew-gaws attending the
coronation, which are estimated to cost half a
million sterling ? Those very people who, as
the London paper says, “are indulged in con
formity with ancient usage" in scrambling for
the offal of the feast. Such are the fruits of
monarchy!
O’ The foreign Cotton market, generally
find miring, her seldom been more steady than
during (be last Imlfyeur. This we think is no
unfavourable indication for the planter. The
calculation so confidently msile, that tho pro
duction would far exceed the consumption of
Cotton, lias not yet been realized—We need
not then look for any great accumulation of
(he article over nnd above the annual manufac
ture of it, while it is so rapidly used both in Eu
rope and in America—indeed, ivc consider the
chance more in favor of an increased price
than of a lower one.
The growing crop of cotton in this neighbor
hood looks well—the Weed is more than usual
ly luxuriant, but the bolls are ies3 numerous
than we have seen them on smaller stalks—
Should tho great scourge of the cotton plant,
the Rot, which lias already made its appear
ance, be as destructive this as it was last ycar^
we doubt whether the present crop will he su
heavy as the last. In Alabama, the crops on
the fertile swamp lands have principally been
destroyed by freshets; and in South Carolina
as well as in the eastern part of this State,they
have been very much injured by heavy rains.

SUBSCRIBER.
The following is copied from the ,Yalional
Intelligencer of the -Itlth u (imp :
There have lately appeared, hi tho Mil-
lA>vl|le Recorder, three letters under tile
title of “ The Trio,” on general politics,
which have excited considerable intention.
I’liey are elaborate and very well written.—
They' are composed hy ooe who has evident
ly been engaged in the councils of Ins coun
try, who has thought much, and lias studied
equally men and hooks. The lihjucl of these
essays, judging from what w e have seen of
them, is to invite the Republicans of ttie Uni
ted Stares to rally round a new standard, ou
which is to he inscribed the cabalistic words
“ Hostility to implied powers," and “ Stale
Rights.’! Rightly understood, thesu aru now,
s they always have been, the rallying points
f the Republican parly. The Republicans
re hostile to all derivation of substantial
powers, citiicr to the. stale or federal govern
ments, by i i plication ; but 1110*)' know it
would lie absurd to deny to them the power:-
necessarily incidental to powers expressly
fronted. They are tho atlim ales ol stale
ights, but not of the rights ot stales to as
sume federal authority. They do not justi
fy (ho slates in refusing tire pul nf their Mi
litia during war, nor in opposing by lbrco_ tile
laws, constitutionally enacted, during either
peace or war. That would he to support
the wrongs, not the rights, ot the stales,
i’liey am opposed to a standing army in
time of peace, hut they do not consider a few
thousand men, employed in protecting pub
lic works and ut ihu frontier posts, to li
inch ah' army as comes under the rule.
They am opposed to expensive establish*
incuts, but they know that.il is the wildest
xlravagance, instead of economy, to with
hold appropriations of money, necessary to
sustain the movements of our machine of go-
rnment. But we are entering loo lightly
on a grave subject, which w e did not mean at
present to have touched.
We have mentioned tnesc essays, because
we have been requested, from a very respec
table quarter™ the Snutli, to ro-pubhah them.
On consideration, we decline it for tile pre
sent. They are of great length, and we do
not know to what greater extent they may
be drawn. Through there are iu these letters
many things which have our sincere concur
rence, there are others winch we cannot as
sent tit, nod do not wish to aid in propagat
ing. Consistently With tile character we
have endeavored to maintain for this pupei
•vc cannot make it the vehicle ot reproach'
cast by any anonymous writer, even oti pul
lie men, when we believe iu our hearts that
so far from ’meriting reproof, they deserve
the approbation^ of their country, and most
deserve it in some tilings for w inch they are
most condemned hy the “ Trio.”
The writer of these letters, we have said
has studied men. Ho has interspersed « lew
graphic sketches, in the notes to his letters,
which shew the master’s hand. If wo do
not concur in all Iris views, it must he admitt
ed they are very well expressed. They are,
indeed, imbued by the writer’s personal and
political predilections and prejudices ; but
the reader, understanding it, will make al
lowances flit- that, as the manner, in taking
