Gentlsmkn.—Thu season having ad

von through iIip u*— l.-.u.. .>f « print,
instead of laying my communication l>«
t -Tore^oj^r SoeiciVj^ ^ „ past, paid par
ticular attention to ihe management ot
my Corn crops, and having, through those
years, made several important observa
tions from various experiments tried, and
the result having materially contributed
to my own iliteiest, I respectfully submit
the same for your consideration, iu the
hope that, by their dissemination, some
benefit may accrue to some of my brother
Planters. 1 am particularly urged to this
step, from a conviction that nine-tenths of
the Corn bought hy our Planters, could be
dispensed with, and tho product of their
Rice and Cotton fields sustains no altera
tion, or at any rule, a very trilling one.—
Ami I am the mure inclined to make my
■statement, because I have seen no com
munication that has presented the matter
•in the way I wish to do. Many of those
gentlemen who have made communica
tions to your Society, are personally
known to me, uml for all of them 1 feel the
profoundest respect ; but as their experi
ments are, all of them, so very expensive,
that they could never lie carried into ge
neral use, I respectfully beg leave to dif
fer w itli them. And, although, all tliut I
shall state, may he well known to very
many, yet it may he us certain, that there
are some to whom it is unknown, or there
would not he so much Corn purchased in
the State ; and in such, 1 cordiully tender
rnv services.
In preparing or selecting manure, the
nature of the soil must, of course, he at
tended to. Pine trash, or other trash col
lected iu the w cods, cotton seed, and covv-
C en manure, .will answer for any soil; hut
arn-yard and stable manure, whilst they
are the very best lor clay lauds, or low
cold soils, are lint too illy adapted lo high
and light or sandy soils; and although
they might he beneficial in a very rainy
seuson, yet iu u common or dry season,
-they will certainly he injurious, or even
destructive. Cotton seed, when green, I
class among the first named manure, hut
if rotted, among the Jailer.
In planting my Corp, I prefer my beds

caused by tbc-roots of one slock drawing
from the others all the virtues of the soil
'around them ; but it is otherwise some
times, for I have know n the form of an car

truded from its top; hut utter a while tho

cribed to the stocks being so crowded to
gether, that the blades of the Corn effec
tually secured tl«e silk from the influence
of the sun, the dew and the farina, where
by its umbilical uses were totally preclud

In working my corn, I use Freeborn's
Plough almost exclusively. The lloo-
Hnrrow is excellent in clearing the alleys
of gras*, or rather lo keep the grass front
starling at all, for if it once ucquu es an as

In prej^kAjSMor planting, I think it best
to list iu me dead-grass, in low grassy
lands, hut otherwise 1 have three furrows
run i.u the centre of the old alley, and three
grains dropped iu Ibis every two feet,and
covered with the line. This takes five or
six quarts to the ucie, a mui Ii larger quan
tity tlinn is necessary, where birds are not
troublesome. Immediately niter the corn
is planted, and not wailing for It to come
up, the old bed is completely levelled with
the plough. As soon as the corn is six
inches high, it must have wu- furrow run
on each side of it, gently throwing the
earth towards it; it is then thinned to one
plaut ; a week from this, the hue-harrow
may he run through tlm new alleys once
nr twice, ns may be required ; two weeks
from the first ploughing, tho plough must
again run two furrows each side of the

the corn ; and about the lime of manuring,
and just beforo Corn tassels, Freeborn’s
largest single horse plough, would he
highly serviceable to them, up one furrow
as near as it can go vvitli safety. After
ibis, with the line, each Negro may mould
from one acre to an acre und a half, and
the crops be then laid by. It thus appeal’s
that a (Ji-ru crop can be made with but
the slightest interference'with the market
crop of Rice or (billon, audit is therefore
evident that every Planter may cultivate
what he may consider a full crop of either
of the hitter, and still intend, with ease
and tirqfit, to nt least two uut-es ot (Jorn to
each ui his worker*, which would gene-
riilly inidui'H t\ sullivicut ivroj» «>i prov itsiouw,
even iu an unfavorable season. One
plough can attend from fifteen to twenty
acres, depending on the iiulure ol'tlio soil.
Up the country they allot considerable
more to each ploughman, hut they have
not so much grass to contend with as we
have dow n here.
I In-re .subjoin an extract from tny Plan

Freeborn's I’loughs ure so superior, that
they must finallv supercede the use ofthe
shovel I'lougli altogether, among Negroes.
One understanding his husinest, ami de
sirous of doing good work, may, in a light
soil, do an Well with the shovel I'lougli, as
could he done with l'Vehorn’s ; but vie
know that Negroes are not generally so
ambitious: null it will require just us
much exertion to do bad work willl Free
born's I'lougli, as to do good work with
the Shovel. I have seen the former work
well in heavy soils and in dry ’wentlior,
w here the hitler was tried ineffectually.—
The first cost of a Shovel I'lougli is inui-h
less, hut, al the end of two years, the ex
pense of laying, sharpening, & c., will
irtake them equal ; nud then, with the
Shovel, you start de novo, whereas, with
the expense of n in-w point for 25 cents,
the Freeborn I'lougli is us good as when
first pm ofinsed.
The Gourd seed Corn, with tl»e same
chances, w ill always yield a greater in
crease than the tliut. It is hardier, and,
m seasons of excessive rains or drought,
will afford a profitable crop, tvlieo the flyit
would utterly fail. ] have tried tin* two
together repeatedly, and feel satisfied of
Hie superiority of tho gourd seed Corn.—
The common Nurth-Curoliiiu gourd seed,
planted in our low. country, improves in
quality every year, but still retains its su
perior fruitfulness.

INSOLVENT LAWS.
A final disposition, we li-iirri, was made yes
ti-rdnv, in (lie Supreme Court, ol tjie various
questions arising under the Soup Insolvent
1 .iivs s, which have Iiopii so repeatedly urged,

that where llie conti net is made subsequent tr,

State where the Imv exists, a discharge under
Kuril law is a valid defence; so also, if made
witli a citizen of another Suite, if such ciiizen
shall choose to .sue, and the cause proceed to

and the citizen of another Stale, the parly claim

in all directions like wild fire. If we were
to publish the proceedings of all the meet
ings, tim publications and counter publica
tions of those who have made investiga
tions and those inculpated, together with
trials and editorial commentaries, we
could fill our paper daily. A letter from
Rochester, states that the excitement n-
mong those who arc not masons, is won
d'-rful. Their eyes Hash lire at the very
mention of n freemason. Ami yet why?
No one can loll. That Lewiston conven
tion was n most unfortunate affair. And
the letters which its members indiscreetly
wrote, and which were still more indis
creetly published, were most unfortunate
letters.
The last Rochester Daily Advertiser,
brings us a letter from F.dvvanl M’Bride,
Esq. an honorable gentleman, and mem
ber of the British provincial Parliament
from Niagara district, who was inculpat
ed in tlm Morgan affair by the convention
letters, and also from the Officers of the
lodge at Newark, where Morgan was said
to have been blindfolded, gagged &r.c. in
order to he delivered to the Canadian uni
sons. Thou.. mo all men of
character, and they distinctly deny the
whole and every part ofthe story, so far
as they were connected with it by the
Lewiston letters. Morgan was never tak
en over there, pinioned, blinded, gagged,
nor in any other wav. Tho masons of
Canada were never applied lo upon the
subject, and never heard any thing about
it until long after the transactions were
said to have taken place.
Thus has every fact asserted in those
celebrated letters been overturned one af
ter another, and the conclusion isinevitu-
Idc, that some wicked wags, pretending
to he masons, have succeeded in cruelly
imposing upon the gentlemen who were
engaged in the investigations nt Lewis

be dend, else why do not those who were
known to have been concerned in his ab

Curiosity.—- A new subject for antiqua
rians to exercise their minds upon, has
lately been discovered in this city. Ii is
a shoe, made of iron, nearly in the form of
a common horse shoe, of a size and shape
apparently suitable for the foot of a jack,
but evidently too smell to fit the foot of a
horse of the smallest size, and too short
for that of a mule. It differs I ruin a horse
-line iu having only six nails, four of
Which are now in the shoe, and are con
siderably different from those made by
smiths nt the present day. But what ren
ders it a curiosity, is, that it was found im
bedded in the hard gravelly hunk, where
the workmen are digging out Third-street,
twenty-five li.et below the surface. The
remains of one of those ancient fortifica
tions, witli which this country abounds,
were directly over the spot where this cii-
riooty wus found: Several teeth, appar
ently tlintw oT Uie rhinoceros, and one of
the masledon, have been found within
few feet of the same spot. The ground I
where these were dug up is about one

From nn article in our last paper, taken
from the New-York National Advocate a
leading democratic paper of that State
we infer, that the united Republican
strength of that great State will he put

obnoxious if possible to several of ff, e
Htates than was that of the elder Adams.

The Telegraph of Macon, docs not per*

the Hartford Convention, but it calls os ns
to say, whether Mr. F. has never advocat

course of proceeding. The Telegraph
makes a ehurgo, which we deny then,
instead of producing proof, it requires us
to prove a negative. This vve do not con*
aider as perfectly fair. But we shall nut
decline to meet the question in this shape,
The Hartford Convention was a tfeusouiin

believe never did nt any period of bis life*

did, vve call on the Telegraph to state wherti

That the ground has not only been
formed over this spot, to that depth, hut
that a race of inhabitants have existed, I
who formed this ancient work on the sur-|
lace, since these teeth as well as this shoe j
were left there, cannot he doubted. At.
what period, then, did u race of people in- I
habit this country, who were acquainted

That it is an extraordinary relic of anti

Cologne Water.—Our female readers,
who are disposed to practice a little do
mestic economy, will find the following
preparation of Cologne Water, a very
cheap substitute for the Cologne Water of
the simps, for which they pay three or
four hundred per cent more than the cost
of this. The principal ingredient is worth
one dollar per gallon at retail by the drug
gists, nnd the perfumery costs very little.

Extract of a letter from Italy:—“ While

ous stories concerning an individual whom
the chapter of accidents lias linked with
British history. You will iuimediatclv re-

famous personage is a very conspicuous
character on the Eastern coast of the
Adriatic. Will you believe that, besides
an estate nt Ravenna, the splendid villa
oecuped hy the late Queen Caroline, and
a place at Pcsaro, he bus purchased no
less than twelve farms, in the neighbor
hood of the last mentioned place ? M.

presented itself at the gate for that pur

quite at a loss to conceive how the Baron

wealth, though they can account vcr\
