IB Q © © IE A IF H 0 © A L □ EXECUTION OF CAPTAIN HALE. The case of Capt. Nathan Hale has been regarded as parallel to that of Major Andre. This young officer was a graduate of Yale College, and had but recently closed his academic course when the war of the revo lution commenced. Possessing genius, taste, and ardor, he became distinguished as a scholar; and, endowed in an eminent degree with those graces and gifts of nature which add a charm to youthful excellence, he gain ed universal esteem and confidence. To high moral worth and irreproachable habits were joined gentleness of manners, and in genuous disposition, and vigor of under standing. No young man of his years put forth a fairer promise of future usefulness and celebrity; the fortunes of none were fostered more sincerely by the generous good wishes of his associates, of the hopes and encouraging presages ot his superiors. Being a patriot upon principle, and an en thusiast in a cause which appealed equally to his sense of justiceand love of liberty, he was among the first to take up arms in his. country’s defence. The news of the battle of Lexington roused his martial spirit, and called him immediately to the field. He obtained a commission in the army, and inarched with his company to Cambridge. His promptness, activity, and assiduous at tention to discipline, were early observed. He prevailed upon his men to adopt a sim ple uniform, which improved their appear ance, attracted notice, and procured applause. The example was followed by others, and its influence was beneficial. Nor were his hours wholly absorbed by his military duties. A rigid economy of time enabled him to gratify his zeal for study and mental cul ture. At length the theatre of action was chang ed, and the army was removed to the south ward. The battle of Long Island was fought, and the American forces were drawn togeth er in the city of New \ ork. At this mo ment it was extremely important for Wash ington to know the situation of the British army on the heights of Biooklyn, its num bers, and the indications as to its future movements. Having confidence in the dis cretion and judgment of the gallant Colonel Knowlton, who commanded a Connecticut regimentof infantry, hecxplaincd his wishes to that officer, and requested him to ascer tain if any suitable person could he found in liis regiment, who would undertake so haz ardous and responsible a service. It was essential, that he should he a man of capa city, address, and military knowledge. Col. Knowlton assembled several of his officers, stated to them the views and desires of the General, and left the subject to their reflections, without proposing the enterprize to any individual. The officers then sepa rated. Capt. Hale considered deliberately what had been said, and findingliimself by a sense of duty aclined to the undertaking, liecalledat thcquartcrs of his intimate friend. Captain Hull—afterward General Hull— and asked his opinion. Hull endeavored to dissuade him from the service, as not befit ting his rank in the army, and as being of a kind for which his openness, of character disqualified him; adding that no glory could accrue from success, and a detection would, inevitably he followed by an ignominious death. Captain Hale replied, that all these con siderations had been duly weighed, that ■•every kind of service necessary to the pub lic good was honorable by being necessary —that lie did not accept the commission for the sake of fame alone, orpersonal advance ment: that he had been for some time in the army without being able to render any sig nal aid to the cause of his couutry, and that he felt impelled by high motives of duty not to shrink from the opportunity now pre sented.’ The arguments of his friends were una vailing, and Captain Hale passed over to Long Island iu disguise. He had gained the desired information, and was just on the point of stepping into a boat to return to the city of New York, when be was arrested and taken before the British commander. Like Andre, lie had assumed a character which he could not sustain; he was ‘too little accustomed to duplicity to succeed.’ The proof agninst him was so conclusive, that he made no effort at self defence, but frankly confessed his object; and, again like Andre, without farther remarks, ‘left the fact3 to operate with his judges.’ He was sentenced to l>e executed as a spy. and was accordingly hanged the next morning. The sentence was conformable tothe laws of war, and the prisoner was prepared to meet it with a fortitude becoming his char acter. But the circumstances of his death aggravated his sufferings, and placed him in a situation widely different from that of An dre. The facts were narrated to General Hull by an officer of the British commissary department, who was present ot the execu tion, and deeply moved by the conduct and fate of the unfortunate victim, and the treat ment he received. The provost-marshall, to whose charge he was consigned, was a refugee, and behaved toward him in the most unfeeling manner; refusing the attend ance of a clergyman and the use of a bible, and destroying the letters he had written to bis mother and friends. In the midst of these barbarities, Hale was calm, collected, firm; pitying the mal ice that could insult a fallen foe aud dying man, but displaying to the last his native ele vation of soul, dignity of deportment, and an undaunted courage. Alone, unfriended, without consolation or sympathy, he closed his mortal career with the declaration, ‘that he only lamented he had but one life to lose for his country.’ When Andre stood upon the scaffold, he called on all around him to bear witness that he died like a brave man. The dying words of Hale, embodied a no bler and more sublime sentiment; breathing a spirit of satisfaction, that, although brought to an untimely end, it was his lot to die a martyr in his country’s cause. The whole tenor of his conduct, and this declaration itself, were such proofs of his bravery that it required not to be more audibly proclaim ed. The following tribute is from the muse of Dr. Dwight: Thus, while fond virtue wished in vain to save, }Uk, bright and generous, found a hapless grove; Wilh genius’ living flame his bosom glowed. And science clinnned him to her sweet abode ; In worth'sfuir path his feet adventured far, The pride of peace, the rising grace of war. There was a striking similarity between the character and acts of Hale and Andre; hut in one essential point of difference the firmer appears to much the greater advan tage. Hale was promised no reward, nor did he expect any. It was necessary that the service should be undertaken from purely virtuous motives, without a hope of gain or of honor; because it was of a nature not to he executed by the common class of spies, who arc influenced by pecuniary considera tion ; and promotion could not he offered as an inducement, since that would bea tempta tion for an officer to hazard his life as a spy, which acommandercould not with propriety hold out. Viewed in any light, the act must be allowed to bear unequivocal marks of patriotic disinterestedness and self-denial. But Andre had a glorious prize before him —the chance of distinguishing himself in a military enterprize, honors, renown, and every allurement that could flatter hope, and stimulate ambition. To say the least, his personal advantages were to be commensu rate with the benefit to his country. But whatever may have been the parallel be tween these two individuals while living, it ceased with their death. A monument was raised and consecrated to the memory of Andre, by the bounty of a grateful sover eign. His ashes have been removed from their obscure resting place, transported across the ocean, and deposited with the re mains of the illustrious dead in AVestminis ter Abby. Where is the memento of the virtues, the patriotic sacrifice, the early fate of Hale ? It is not inscribed on marble— it is hardly recorded in books. Let it be the more deeply cherished in the hearts of his countrymen. —Life of Arnold. ———a——a——— mmimrcj— IT Ini H IM]iE©irl]^\[f'!]i]©a From the Portland Tribune. MECHANICS. BY JOIIV NEAL. Social rank, it may be said, has nothing to do with political rank. I deny this.—l believe that in the very constitution of things they are inseparable. Whoever has in fact political power, has in fact a social power proportioned thereto—in other words, a rank in society, correspondent with that po litical power. And he—or she—who has power at the fire-side, influence about the domestic hearth of a neighbor, has a power that will betray itself sootier or later, in some higher sphere; a growing ascendancy which must be felt in some way or other, at some day or other, in the whole constitution of society—in the machinery of state. And so in the alternative. It is in vain that we pretend —I will not say to dominion, nor to political ascendancy—but to equality, what ever may he our numbers, our wealth, and onr importance in every other respect, so long as we occupy a subordinate rank in the social system. But, say certain of those who belong to the mechanic'interest, and are willing to be mouth-pieces for the whole body. But we have a full share in the government of the country now. Are we not represented— every man of us? Aud is not the vote of a mechanic worth as much as the vote of any other man ? To which I say—Ask yourselves.—Are you of a truth represented ? Look into your legislative halls—go into your courts of jus tice. Have you three legislators, three judges, three governors and three presidents, for every one judge, one governor, and one president elected by the other fourth part of our free population ? You are three times more numerous than all the other electors of our country; and yet —how few are ye in the national or state councils, in the distribution of trust and office, in the rank of powder and privilege. And as for the worth of your votes —depend upon it, there is no such equality as you may suppose between your vote, and the vote of the privileged class. Let me be understood —I do not mean the wealthy nor the high born—much less do I mean the idler, who if he labors not in some way for the advan tage of his fellowman, whatever may be his rank, is a pauper —the pauper of a family or a neighborhood, of the state or the pub lic, if not of a town or parish—l do not mean these, nor any of these, when 1 talk of a privilege class. Nor do I mean to play the demagogue—to curry fitvor with the multitude by abusing the few—no! for 1 hold with him who preached better in rhyme by far than most people do in prose, that— Order is heaven’s first law—this stands contest, Some are and must be—greater than the rest. But I mean by a privileged class, a body of men, who not only are, but who deserves to be the rulers of our country. Mechanic's Association. —The increase of these associations isan indication that a spirit of inquiry isabroad, prompting the mechanic to avail himself of the benefits of associated stiength in the promotion of the several arts, and the elevation of those who belong to that numerous class of citizens on whom so much of the comforts of life depend. These societies are of immense advantage to the young apprentices, who can here find facilities for improving their minds to which their masters were utter strangers. In for mer times, if the apprentice was taught the trade of the master to whom he was appren ticed—taught to write his name and cipher as far as the rule of three—kept comfortably clad and had a ‘freedom suit’ when he ar rived at the age of 21, he was considered as having been well treated, and had no cause of complaint. No Lyceums with their free debates—no Institutes with their familiar lectures upon the sciences, illustrated with apparatus —no libraries with their volumes in all the several departments of science, simplified and prepared with strict reference to the wants of the young, offered to him their priceless advantages, and beckoned him on from step to step up the steeps of science and of fame. What had a poor mechanic to do with such things so far above his sphere ?—These were not for him, hut for the favored few, who, leaving the practical walks of life im mured themselves in their closets and led a book worm life, and became thcoiy learned ST© 10 JLIIS Hi St HI QB<D IB & AitH_ a’ and practically ignorant. We well remem ber a friend of our young days, a playmate, who had a mechanical genius, and was en dowed with untiring persevei^nceand indus try. He had read and heard an air pump, and thought he could make one. He pro cured the materials and castthe barrels him self—but not understanding how to fix the valves or the pistons, he travelled forty miles on foot to a college—the only place where one could be seen, and humbly begged per mission to see it. The Professor graciously admitted him into the ‘Philosophical Cham ber,’ pointed out the air pump to him, but would not let him touch it, nor would he take it apart or explain to him how the valves were constructed, and the poor boy walked hack, to his home with a heavy heart, thanks to a •stubborn Professor, just as wise as lie came. Then, it was stooping too low for a grave Professor in a College to teach a poor Mechanic a single element of Mechanical Philosophy : now, you can find an air pump iu almost every town and the very hoys cap take them apart and put them together and science loses nothing in dignity or useful ness. That hoy was cut oft’ by death before manhood had fairlydawned upon him. How would he have rejoiced, had he lived to this day in the present diffusion of practical sci ence, and how active would lie have been in opening the avenues of knowledge and in battling the ignorance and prejudice, which has so long kept the productive classes down to the ranks of mere hewers of wood and drawers of water, without a chance for the development of their talents, or the re finement and elevation of their minds. The young mechanic cannot too highly appreciate the advantages of these associa tions. He should use every exertion, to not only benefit himself by the means which they extend to him for improvement, hut he should also aid them in every way possible, that others may enjoy the same. We hope that every village will have its Mechanic’s institute, and every Mechanic belong to it and zealously support it.— Mechanic's Advo cate. T IHI E IFJ\ m GMJE a “ A bold peasantry, their country’s pride When once destroy’d can never be supplied.” For the “ Southern Miscellany.” Mr. ILndliter —Being, ns I have already confessed, a “ Yankee,” this must he my ex cuse for not entering more minutely into a subject which many in your own County are much better qualified to discuss. Nev ertheless, having engaged the assistance of my good friend, Miss Susan, to aid me in spelling some of the hardest words, I have concluded to offer a few thoughts on the subject of “ Agricultur.” There are some facts so clearly true, it is strange we are not more generally willing to be governed by them. Improvement in agricultural pursuits, is admitted by all to he an object of vital importance. Is it not sur prising, then, that while improvements are daily being made in manufacturing, not on ly articles truely necessary for our comfort, hut in many instances, those only calculated to gratify our pride, and tickle our fancies, the great foundation upon which is based the whole structure of individual, as well as national prosperity, should be so shame fully neglected ? The remedy for this ruinous evil is in the hands of those whose interests are most di rectly connected with it. In the first place, the Press, that power ful engine which controls the destinies of nations, must he called into requisition be fore the Planters of Georgia can arrive to that degree of perfection which climate, soil, and productions proclaim within their reach. A more liberal encouragement must be extended to such publishers as devote their capital and talents to the farming inte rest, and who throw open their columns to communications from the hand of theprac tical farmer. Let an interchange of opinion be freely expressed—experiments tried, and the result made known through this same medium, and let these papers he printed within the borders of our oven State. Agricultural periodicals printed at the North, undoubtedly contain some general rules that are applicable to every portion of the Union, hut by far the most valuable part of their contents, at home, is not worth pos tage to the Southern Planter. Let Agricultural Societies abound—let premiums he offered for the best specimens of home production, whether in the shape of stock, or produce of the farm. This will excite a spirit of emulation, laudable in it self—worthy of our best energies—and the result of which cannot be otherwise than beneficial. I have seen the benefit growing out of such a course in other sections of the Union, and, with all due deffereme, I offer these remarks for the considerathn of the Planters of Georgia, with whose jrosperity my own is closely interwoven. W hen I first came to this (my adopted) State, I found some customs that were new to me, and some that were old enough, and as erroneous as they were old ; and plenty of both in my opinion, that opened an am ple field for amendment. But for reasons already expressed I shall content myself for the present, by simply naming some of them, trusting that more competent pens will place in their true light such as shall be deemed worthy of notice. First, then, might not the same amount of labor be more profitably employed on less land than is generally cultivated ? Are there not convenient materials for making a com post manure, calculated to sustain our better lands, and to restore such as are more worn? Is not the improvement of our breed of horned cattle too much neglected ? Or, if we must content ourselves with bug-homed milch cows, would not true policy dictate the propriety of keeping a less number, and that number much better supplied with suit able food ? Is it not probable that one-tenth of all that is fed to stock, might be saved, by a nicer preparation and more earful dis tribution rs the same ? Lastly, as there is much doubt whether the price of our great staple will enable us hereafter to realise an income approximating to any thing like that of former yeat s ; does it not become us all to adopt such habits of economy in the management of our farms, (even in matters heretofore deemed of minor importance) as will aid in balancing the difference between present and former incomes derived from that source ? JOTHAM HOTCHKISS. Athens, July 24, 1542. AGRICULTURE OF EUROPE, COM PARED WITH THAT OF THE U NITED STATES. AVe have before us “McGregor’s Statis tics,” which contain a curious table, corppi led from one prepared by Baron. Von Mal chus. Minister of Finance in Wurtemburgh, in 1828. It exhibits the Agriculture and Live Stock of all the nations of Europe, in a manner similar to the statistics recently obtained by the United States. The total amount of grain then raised in some of the most important nations were as follows. Grain here includes wheat, barley, oats and rye: Great Britain, 262,500,000 bushels. Prussia, 145,000,000 “ Denmark, 40,133,000 Austria, 366,000,000 France, 233,847,300 “ Spain, 68,000,000 If we divide the results by the number of inhabitants in each country, we get the num ber of bushels raised to each soul: Great Britain, to each soul, 12 bushels. Denmark, “ 20 Prussia, “ 12 “ Austria, “ 14 “ France, “ 7 “ Spain, “ 5 It appears, then, that the northern part of Germany raises a much larger portion of grain than either England, France, orSpain. In the United States, the amount of the same grain’(wheat, barley, oats and rye) raised, is in theaggregate about 317,000,000 bushels—to each soul about ISi bush. The United States, then, raise more grain than any country of Europe, exceptin Denmark, and much more than the average produced in Europe. Let us now compare the Live Stock. Os Cattle the following are raised in the above named countries : Great Britain, 10,500,000 Prussia, 4,500,000 Denmark, 1,607,000 Austria, 9,912,900 France, 6,681,000 Spain, 2,500,000 These again divided by the population, give the following results: England, to each soul, 1-2 of one Prussia, “ l-3d “ Denmark, “ 4-stlis “ Austria, “ 3-llths “ France, “ l-sth “ Spain, “ l-sth “ Denmark and England have much the largest portion of cattle, though Russia, not included in the above, lias nearly as large a portion of cattle as England. In the Uni ted States, the number of Cattle is about 13,500,000 —to each soul, 4-sths. The pro portions, again, is nearly or quite as high as that of Denmark, and higher than the average of Europe. But if we examine particular States, we find some that have a larger number of cattle in any part of Europe—Thus in Vermont and New York, there are more cattle than there are living souls. Os Horses, the European proportion is thus : Great Britain, to each soul, 1-llth Prussia, “ l-10th Denmark, “ l-4th Austria, “ l-16th France, “ l-12th Spain, “ ‘ l-Bth In the United States, of Horses there are about 3,000,000 —which is to each soul, l-stli. This also is a larger proportion than that of Europe. The comparison in Swine s interesting. The proportion of Hogs to each soul is: Eogjanu, l-4th Prussia, 1-Sth Denmark, l-6th Austria, 1-ot!? France, l-7th Spain, l-13th In the United States, the total number of swine, is about 21,000,000 —which is to each soul, 1J; or very far greater than any country of Europe. Thus the number of Hogs in the United States isgreatertban all of England, France, Prussia, Austria, Spain, Denmark, Bavaria and the Netherlands, making a population exceeding one hundred and twenty millions. Os Sheep, the proportion in Europe, to each 60ul, is thus: Great Britain, 2 Prussia, 3-4ths Denmark, 2 3ds Austria, 2-sths France, ’ 1-lOtli Spain, 1 In the United States, the number is 19, 000,000 —the proportion is 1 1-Sth. In this article, England is in advance of the United States. In the State of New York however, the proportion of Sheep is ashigh as in Eng land. There is however, another aspect to this comparison. What is the relative product per acre? We have not the means of know ing the numbei of acres of arable land in the United States ; but there are some local statistics from which we can gather some thing. The number of acres of improved land in the State of New York, is about 10,000,000 In great Britain, 97,000,000 The proportion is nearly lOto 1. ( The grain raised of the kinds mentioned,® is in N. York, 38,000,000 In Great Britain, 262,000,000 The proportion in New York is the great est. Cattle in New York, 2,645,000 “ Great Britain, .10,500,000 Sheep in New York, 5,381,000 “ Great Britain, 44,090,000 In Grain, Cattle and Sheep, then, the State of New York raises more per acre than Great Britain. If the comparison were made only of the agricultural districts of England, the result would not be the same ; for England does raise more whpat per acre, under good cul tivation than the United States. But when the hills of Scotland, the bogs of Ireland, and the fens and moors are taken into consid eration, the United States is the most pro ductive country by far. In this comparative view of Europe and the United States, we may see the true ground ot that physical growth, which char acterises the United States, and which un doubtedly must characterise it for many centuries to co me .—Cincinnati Chronicle.
