The Cotton drop.
We have heard nothing since our l i t
issue from the crops in this section, at nli
encouraging. Tlie almost universal ojsn- ■
ion is, that not more than half a crop can
he counted on. As the days gel looker I
and the sun shines warmer, the negroes arc
the less inclined to work. We have heard ,
of many within the past week who have i
left their employers to live, no doubt, 411 j
w hat they can steal.

Messim Bmtoub :It ling generally |

there would be a celebration of the order of j
Knights of Jerico, and of the Sutday School,
at Weston, on Saturday the PJih ins*., at,
art early Lour of that day the people bogau
to come into town from all directions.
T'was a beautiful aud pleasant morning,
a good omen, wo trust, of success to ti e e
two causes so well calculated to promote tbe j
moral interests of mankind. A procession ;
was firmed and CullducteS by tbe marshal
of tho day to tbe church, where a Urge con
course of (triple laid assembled iu honor to
the occasion.
The exercises were oj eocd by a song from
tlie music class, under the dinction of their
accomplished teacher, Miss Sillie Harper,

The Ilcv. Mr. Davies was next introduced,
as orator of the day ; and tho expression of
gratification and pleasure which rested u| -
011 the countenances of tbe audience, in an
ticipation of “a sea tof reason” from this
disiiagumhed minis cr, was unmistakable. —
Aud more than the expectations of tUe aud
ience wt re realized. Fro orotban an hour
he held the minds <J his hearers enchained
by a thrilling amount of the evils of i ate in
nuance, and the beau'y and moruften laucy
of its opposite—the cause of temperance.
Another tong or two, with ex’e’lent iu
strumcntcl tcusic, and the hour l->r dmner
had arrived.
The procession was ag'.in formed, with
the spectators iu tho rear, and marched ti
the table, which was arranged » grove

groaniug beneath the weight of ail kiuds of

due the ladies of Weston and its vicinity to

The iitn'-r man being sufficiently refresh

formed. It was the preaeoMon of two large

amer.dmeut taking from the Secretary of tbe
Treasury the apjointment of speei and Cotn
misioocr of'he Revenue arid providing that
the latter officer stall be elected by Congress.
Mr, Stevens remarked that ho offered
these amendmenhs because the Secretary
had said he would ajpiii t to office only
those who supiport tho Freddeut. It was
true (Mr. Stevrus remarked), to build a
wall to protect those who support us. The
Secretary was a recreant tool of a recreant
l'resideut.
Mr. Hale, (Republican) reproved Mr.
Stevens and showed that C ongress has no
such power of appointment.
Mr. Delapo, (Republican) defended tba
Secretary, who was lot a slave, and thus
prevented from rpewking his sentiments.
Dare he not have an opinion of his own ?
Must we all sqnaie opinions by a regular
line at the dictation of an individual. Just
such acts as these of Mr. Stevens were cre
ating a very bad sentiment iLroughout tho

amendment, promising to renew it on Mon

JScastiring Corn.
A friend hands us the following rules for

useful to many of our readers:
Ist-—Shucked Corn—Measure the l. cg'b,
width aud depth of the crib in feet; muiti
ply these threo dimensions t 'ge'her and
their product by eight; then cut <ff (wo fig
ures to the right: those on the left will be
so many barrels, thoso on the right so
many hundredths of a barrel.
2nd —Unsbucked Corn—Multiply as in
rule the first tho abovo extmplc, and' the
product obtained by 51; then out off two
figures ou tho right, those on the left will be
barrels, those on the right so many hun
dredths of a barrel.
For grain fruits, herbs, in house or box,
find the length, breadth and depth, mul iply
these together; then annex two ciphers
and divide the products by 124. Answer
in bus! elp, peek o , and quarts.
31—Liquids—Find the lerg b rs inches
from the irnoj, the under fdgo of rho head
or chime; muhiply it into itself twice, and
divide the product by 270. Answer iu ga!

STANKSVILLE, April 4, 1806.
Editor of Wilkes' spirit of the Times:
Fir: The following very st»fl?ge nnomal- 1
ous circumstance has just tianspirod in oar :
cntnmuniuy. Mr: Gabriel Ellis, a flourish
ing dry goods mercl ant, had fnquently re
marked that ho could rit up three weeks
without aiy mateiivl detriment ia his
health; and that after the expiration of
that time ho conid go to sloop, and sleep till
the loss Was made up. He was ltd to bo
lieve this fact from experiments on a smaller
scale. Iu the early part if Fcbuary he
sold his store and i iveated tlie cap ital thus
raised iu a farm which gave him lemure ;
and in compliance with the wi.-lcs of seve
rs' scientific gentlcmc 1, he began on the 1 1th
day of February to .abstaiu from sleep.
Gentlemen sat up by turns to sali- fy them
selves if his stmnge faculty; and to pre
clude all possibility of being aecus -d of mo
mentary snatches of sleep he would read au
dibly all night long, and keep his feet dur
ing the day —watched all the while at his
own request
He would comment in a clear, forcible
and intellectual manner upon whai he
read—dcplorieg the heartlessness of “logo,”
laughing at the inimitable drollery aud
humor of the “Army Straggler, etc. On
the 16 h day of M-urch, at the earnest solici
tation f> f friends, he wi’Dt to sleep for tho
first trus, and did not awake until the ninth
Jay of the present month'. Ho expressed
tne opiui p that he e- uld stay awak- a year
and then sleep iu proportion, without injur
ing his constitution. He never gets sleepy
until ha closes his eyes aud resigns himself
to slumber, at which time he gets asleep al
most instantly, without ngudto the noise
or excitement ground him. There are nia
ny cutious facts connected with his case
which might interest the readers of y ur
vikublo paper; but as D ctors Edmund,
Willis and Jord in, are prepi ring for the press
an elaborate statement of their exporim-nts
and discoveries, I desist. Yours, very truly,
