We notice, with much pleasure, the extensive circulation which litis valua ble work has obtained among the agri cultural part of the community. But a publication devoted so exclusively to <- improvements in the practice of Agri culture and Domestic Economy—and to tbe developetnent* of the means of In ternal Improvements generally and conducted with that public spirit, ability mil industry which have marked the edi'orid career of Mr. Skinner, could not have failed to achieve the success Mid reputation it so justly enjoys. W'e believe that this is the first putdic jour nal in A nerica established no the same principles. While periodical works for the advancement of other sciences and departments of human knowledge have been so much encouraged, is it not somewhat remarkable that so little should have been done to make known the im portant discoveries in Rural Economy ? Mr. Skinner deserves great credit, as well for the novelty and utility of his plan, and for the handsome manner of its execution. Such a work has been much wanted in the Soother States, and par ticularly in Virginia. The wretched system of husbandry adopted upon the first settlement of the country, has been handed iluwn to us with but few altera tions for the better. The size of our farms and the species of labor employed in their cultivation have operated as powerful checks to the spirit of im provement. But for a few years past the public mind seems to have been ra pidly awakening to a just sense of the importance of the subject. The first impulse was given by Col. John Taylor of Caroline ; and the interest which Jlrator excited has been happily sustain ed by the Jlmercan Farmer. Heretofore, ihe improvements in the agriculture of Europe, and of particular sections or neighborhoods in our own country, were very little known, except to a few who enjoyed peculiar advanta ges. This inconvenience no longer, exists. A common medium has at length been established, through which intelli gent farmers from all parts of the Union seek for, and communicate information on the various subjects connected with their vocation—and through which are promulgated the opinions, facts and ex- j periments, so essential to the general amelioration of our country and to the advancement of individual and public prosperity. Besides the usefulness of its matter, the classical taste and science which a- bound in the American Farmer reflect credit on the genius an! literature of the country. We heartily wish it success, and recommend it to the public. It i? ** published weekly at Baltimore, at $ I per annum, on a sheet of tbe size of a large newspaper, and folded ?o as to make eight page?—and to admit of being con veniently bound up and presen ed in vo lumes. Each volume consists of fifty- two Numbers, a title-page and an index —and numerous engravings to represent new implements and approved systems of husbandry.”—Rich. Euq. this a half pint of salt was occasionally thrown while boiling ; when done it was taken up in a large tub and git n them the next day, and in one week from the day this practice was adopted they look ed much better, and from that time increased in flesh. When the spring opened, they were fed only three times a week, in the same manner, and in the month of May, reduced to twice a week, and by the middle of June it was discon tinued. Had I persisted in giving them the six quarts of raw corn, I am satisfied more than half would not have seen the spring. 1 have also adopted the practice of grinding all my horse corn into fine meal, and 1 find that I save a third alter paying the toll.

Isaac Barker, esq. of Middletown, Rode Island, wears a very handsome silk vest, which was wholly produced and manufac tured on his own farm. He has made silk for three or four years, commonly about thirty pounds a year, when prepared for sprinniiig, arid we are happy to learn, finds it a very profitable business, which lie thinks may he extended with ease and advantage. We doubt not, the farmers of this stati might easily make enough of this valuable article to supply our own consumption.— Thus, one after another, are the resources of our country brought into view, and run dered valuable. The time was when it was thought hardly practicable to procure woollen hat, of domestic manufacture. Th time may he, when we shall export silk stull's, as we now export cottons by bales and cargoes! FARMING —CHEMISTRY. Lelaml, in Ins Memoirs of the cole brated French Chemi?t Lavoisier, states that be cultivated 240 acres of land in La Vendee, on Chemical principles, in order to set a good example to the Fur tilers, unit his mode of culture was at tended with so much success, that he oh tained a third more of crop than was ob tainnd by the nsuul method, and in nine years his annual produce was doubled. Rook Printing.—The following nine teen occupations are engagcJ to produce a single book : the author, the designer, the rag-merchant, the paper-maker, the stationer, the type-founder, the press- maker, the* ink-maker, the pelt-maker, the chase-maker, the compositor, the nt first nppenred in Silliman s Jouniiil allusion to it, we think it is the National In- tulligHiicer, which suites that similar stone Is to he found in the District of Columbia ; stamped with the impression ol the Ilium a foot, ltut we can entertain no doubt of these statements, ns a similar pliciia.ninuou is to be met with in our own neighborhood. At Powhatan about two miles hdow the Capitol, lliere is a stone, within u few feet of the man sion, in its yard, which lias the appearance ofthr print of a human foot upon it. From the description of the seite of the place, as tell to iis in “ Smith's History of Virginia," there is very little doubt of its being the scite of the palace of the great Powhatan, the Indian War rior ; and father of Pacahontus. The palace, by the bye, was nothing but a miserable Jlut. However this may be, there is the small rock, with the image of (he foot upon it. It is on a small hill, elevated several teet above the .tames Kiver—and near the bank of the river. Every prominent part of the sole of the foot is there distinctly charactered, t in; rock seetns to be a hard granite. It can, we think, scarcely admit of a ques tion, that (his is a rude memorial of the senlp lure of the Indians. The rock is too hard to leave room lor the supposition that it was e ver ductile enough to receive the mould of the foot Iiy piTJllre; Si besides we must next suppose that it retained the impression for a considera ble time before it hardened. Now these sup positions are far more strained, than to con ceive that some rude Indian sculptore with Ins hiscl carved the stone into the required form I hut to the original article ‘ In the September of Silliinau's Journal of Science anil the Arts, just publi died, are two or three letters containing a description of a rock found on the western shore of the Mississippi, at St. Louis, in which are the impressions of two human feet. They are so exactly copied fl'om nature, as to make it questionable whether they were formed by some rmm standing in the spot while the rock was very soft,or liaie been cut by art: “ersons who have examined them, entertain different opinions on the subject. The rock is calcareous, and of such unusual hardness, that it has been only slightly worn by the sand and gravel washed over it during the periodical fioods, though the date of the im pression must he ancient, as they have been known from the earliest settlement of that part of the country. If it he the work of a man, it must have been wrought with an iron tool, and by some sculptor who had at tained the perfection of his art, at a period, no doubt, anterior to the first discovery of America. “ On this supposition, how in teresting does every thing become which is connected with the ancient history of this continent! -With What scrupulous care Itould he recorded, every circumstance which ran throw any light upon it.—Grant ing that the impressions were made by hu man feet, while it was yet soft, this rock speaks more decisive language on the ge • •logical history of the world, than all the specimens which Werner and Hutton have collected to form the foundations of their respective theories of Water and Fire. Dr. Hutton Ims aurconded in producing very good rocks Ivy mixing and halting quantities of earths, alkalies, Uc. but we think lie would rather even renounce his theory than attempt an imitation of this Mississippi lime stone, by putting feet in melted marl.

During the late war with Great Bri tain, no action with the enemy added greater reputation to thu American arm than this sanguinary conflict, ivilji some of the best disciplined troops of Europe, who were also superior in numbers to tlie Americans engaged. This battle was fought about half a mile b-'low the Cataract of Niagara, on tbe Caiunt . shore, at a place called Land ay’- i.ia and about one mile belo.v ihe pi ice call ed Bridgewater, by all whi- h allies it bus been designated. The Chippewa-, creek, near which another desperate and blovdy battle was fought, is two miles above the. Falls. The British army occupied a position in Lnndny's lane, with th or artillery on an eminence commanding the ro id In which the Americans advanced, and all the adjacent country, within (lie range of cannon shot. From this position they were driven by the Americans, ami their battery taken, at the point of the bayo net, by the troops led on by the gallant Colonel Miller. Their battery was se veral times taken and retaken, during the battle, which continues until near live which the law does not provide for si tnilar offenders. AMERICAN TALENT.

The following extracts from letters, will be read with pleasure by all who take an interest in onr revolutionary his tory, nnd in the character and feelings of such worthies of the Revolution as Gen.

As there is so little economy observed in f.i11eninm hogs in this part of the coun- trv, 1 beg leave to notice that aho, and point out a better and a cheaper mode. The common practice is to put (hem in a large pen, and throw the corn on Ihe ground ; in a wet season, they are soon up to their knees in mire and not a dry spot to lay on. In this situation there mast he much corn wasted, and they cannot possibly thrive hut very sloe Iv. My practice has been In make two square pens adjoining ; they are both floored with rails, and one of them is so cover ed as to turn the rain, and is well litter ed with leaves or straw, and fresh li'ter ■idded at least nnce a week, In tho other pen a trough is placed, in which they are fed from twice to three times a day.— One meal they are fed on pra«, nnd the ether two on corn ; it is sometimes lioil- titclier, tho leather seller, the binder ; the copper-smith, the engraver, the cop perplate printer, and the bookseller. [/Jem. Press.] Tobacco.—The “ American Farm er” tells us that some tobacco made by judge Dorsey, of Maryland, last year, sold in Europe for $02 per hundred, and somo which grew in Montgomery county, and sold here for $37, brought Holland the enormous sum of upwards of $00 per hundred. Buffalo, Oct. 22. Emigration.—No season within the last four years, has furnished such an ingress of population to our western state and territories as the present. In addi tion to the thousands from Europe, who have located there, the migrating mania seems again to have seized upon our New England brethren, in so ranch that our streets are daily thronged with the ponderous covered wagons of the east, bearing not unfreqnently, three genera- ed and well sailed and at other times j tjons within; and going as Mr. Irvine raw. This has been mv practice for j would say, “ to Ohio, Kentucky, or the three winters ; and inv hogs have always Lord knows where.” These wend fattened very fast, and eat much less J ifieir way round the Lake shore by land, of the Americans; who were, however unable to remove them from the field, m consequence of the loss of all the hoi - . and the excessive fatigue of Ihe troop-. On the morning after the baltlo the American army retr ated tow irds line, and having no carriages were obliged to leave their wounded and dea l to the care of the enemy. To the wounded we are willing to believe the necessary atten tion was paid, but in disposing of the dead, a more expeditious method than usual was adopted. The bodies were stripped and dragged together into an immense pile intermixed and covered; with dry, fence-rails, and set on tire, which soon reduced (hem to a heap of ashes. To this mode of funeral no ob jeclion is made, ns the hot weather and situation of the, army woulJ not admit of any other. But, will it be credited, that among a Christian people this pile of - human bones and ashes should remain [ uncovered until the present tune ; and such, wp are assured, is the fact. Col. Robert Carr, of Philadelphia, passing near that place a feiv days since, vi-iie-! the field of battle, atu) observed a number of hogs turning up tho loose ashes and bones, on the spot where the field pieces had so gallantly been won : on enquiry, he learned from a person who keep? school a few roils from the place, and was himself wounded in the ha.lie, that the dead bodies ot the : ddinrs wen* burned on this very spot, and that they had never been covered. II belonged to the English array, and stated that their own dead were collected and that the Americans only were burnt, and that tt was said at Ihe time, that it was i i r talialion for similar conduct of the Ame ricans at Chippewa. On being a km! what became of tho bodies of ihe officers, lie pointed to a place where they were interred, but observed that a number of them must have been burned, as they had been stripped during the. night and very early in the morning, and could men.

In 1700 he was i • Ulster of Ihe U. Slates in France. rnary last, com hides an interesting pa per with these observations :— In the infancy of Chemistry and Natu ral Philosophy, it was imagined that earthquakes might be easily explained ; in proportion as these sciences have be come more correct and more profund, tlii?, confidence has decreased. But by Cl ini! "L a ' a propensity for which the character of (ho linmaii mind sufficiently accounts, all Ihe physical agents which have suc cessively been discovered, such as elas ticity, magnatism, the inflammation of gases, the decomposition arid recomposi tion of water, have been maintained in theories as the cause of this great phe nomenon of nature. Now all these con jectures seem to be insufficient to ex plain convulsions so extensive, produced at the same time over such large por tions ofthe earth, as those which lake- place during earthquakes. i lia mn-t probable opinion, tlie only one which seems to us to reconcile, in a certain degree, the energy, the extent of the-e phenomena, and often their frightful cor respondence in the most distant coun tries ofthe globe, would, be to suppose conformably to many other physical in dications, that the solid surface on which we live is hut of inconsiderable thick ness in comparison with the seini-diame- ler ofthe terrestrial globe ; is in some neiisure n recent shell, covering a li quid nucleus, perhaps still in a state ol ignition, in which great chemical or phy sical phenomena operating at intervals, cause those agitations whicl) are trans mitted to us—The countries where the superficial crust is less thick or less strong, or more recently or mure im perfectly consolidated, would, agreeably to this hypothesis, be the most liable to he convulsed and broken by the violence of these internal explosions. Now if we compare together the experiments on the length of the pendulm, which have been made for some years past with great accuracy, from the North ofScot- land to tho South of Spain, we readily perceive that the intensity of gravitation decreases oo this space, as we go from the pole towards the equator, more ra pidly thau it ought to do upon an ellip soid, the concentric and -hnilai strata of which should have equal densities at e- qn tl dept* ; and the deviation i? especi ally sensible about the middle of France, where too there has been observed a Inking irregularity in the length of (lie degrees of the earth.—This local de crease of gravity in lliese countries should seem to indicate with some pro bability, that the strata near tho surface | Norfolk, Nov. 7, The following extract from a note t. the Editors dated yesterday, may be con? si lered .is more authentic than any et.it. inent before published by us or the sub ject ofthe melancholly disease prorai mg among the Peacock's crew.
