X been appointed Agents for the sale of those celebra
ted COTTON’ GINS, manufactured by E. T. Taylor
A Cos. formerly of Girard, Ala. hut now of Columbus,
Gn., where is established one ot the most exten
sive and complete manufactories in the South. The
materials used are of the best quality. The machinery
is all new, and constructed on the most approved plans
for the manufacture of Cotton Gins.
The machinists and workmen employed in the estab
lishment are skillful and experienced in the business;
and they have made such improvements in the mechan
ism A construction of the Gins that they feel certain, in
every case, to furnish a Gin which will perforin admi
rably well, and give the purchaser entire satisfaction.
In the way ot reroiumendaUou, we need only say.
that wc furnished several hundred of the late improved

the season, and not one of that number has tailed to give
general satisfaction, both in speed and the sample of
Cotton.
03T ORDERS can be sent to E. T. Taylor A Cos.

the beat of workmen. Besides he is now mnk mg con
siderable addition to his machinery, which will eimhie
him to furnish as good gins, and on as reasonable
terms, as any factory in the State
The Miilmcritier has the exclusive right of Hmipsons
Patent, (for applying itietahc rubber to drums, pulhes,
Ac.) (or some fitly of the lu st cotton growing counties
in the State ; which he intrnd* applying to his gins
when required. And it is certainly of great advant
age to the cotton gin, tor it nm only requires one third
Jess power to propel it, when* the nietnhc rubber is ap
plied, but die gm, running geer, and every dung con
nected with it, will last as much longer in proportion.
I believe there iano one of common arnae but will ad
mit, diat the lighter machinery ot any kind can run,
, die longer il will last.
It up|enrs that a great many persons prefer what is
called a water box, to all such 1 would say, that it is riot
1 worth one cent lor the purpose roeotitnietided- dint is
to prevent the gin from taking fire, for this simple Ira
j sou, a gm never takes lire irom the box, hut invariably

But as every man has hi* own notions, 1 will furnish a

listens to her teachings in her majestic forms, her moun
tains possess the deepest interest. The Maratine Alps,
as they rise from the suburbs of Nice, blend with the
surrounding scenery, and give it infinite beauty. As
you depart from Genoa, you cannot but cast a linger
ing looi behind. You look down from the Mountain
road as you ascend its dizzy heights and all that is
picturesque and lovely in nature in the smiling valley
below, rides on the view. But new scenes and wonders
rise up before you Not that display of stupendous sub
limity o f the great towering Alps in the interior, whose
summits seem to reach the skies ; but the village perch
i ed on theUigh rocks, nnd the wild broken masses around
j them—the fields scattered through the hills, and smiling
, with the i chest verdure—the winding road of solid
rock, with its precipices and deep ravines,from whence
nt almost every turn are presented vistas of surpassing
beauty. To these are added the shores of a placid sea,
their graceful curves and outlines, the hays where the
La tine sail of the Felucca spreads its shadows, nnd
where moonlight lingers with its dreamy light upon their
tranquil waters. It is very exciting as you w ind your
way through these mountains. You are hurled along
on your route with surprising rapidity down the steep
descent. You h ive at times hut a bird's-eye view of
all uroi ml you. The olive trees, the dwarf pine and
the hare brown rocks alternately meet your view ; while
the rude peasant’s hut, with his brown visage and his
sturdy form at the door, give a life-like picture to the
scene. After a day's fatigue in travel to sink to sleep
in some rustic cot in tin* mountains, lost in absorbing
reveries, is truly refreshing. The rude repast is laid out
for you, to w hich an unwonted appetite gives a z st. and
the wines ol the country, with their questionable flavor
in a daintier hour, appear now like the true Falerninn.
The Italian peasant here spends his life chi-fly in the
mountains. He is ignorant of the world and all that
passess in it. He visits the town hut at distant intervals,
and knows no more of Ins own government than if he
lived under none. He is a slave to its civil and religious
institutions. The King tramples on his rights ns a sub
ject, and the Priest wields his conscience at his will—
and yet his is a sort of contentment. He has his sports
on the green. Borne dark haired girl, embrowned by
the summer’s sun and hardened by toil, has lured his
fancy with her smile of coquetry —and the domestic
fireside is not without its joys ; lor there are the holy
tics ol nature that endear to the rudest bosom the very
name of home.
The Revolution in France may yet echo its sounds
! throughout these hills, and rouse in runny a bold and
j sturdy heart the spirit of lilierty. Thrones must totter
I and fail —hut the peasant's lot will rise, lie will assert
i the rights of nuture. lie was not made 10 be crushed
and trampled on He has a soul as well as the proud
est of hiscountry’a peers. The earth is his heritage as
well. The time is not tar distant when, educated and
enlightened, he will shake ofr the vile and degrading
chaius with which a haughty aristocracy and an ambi
tious and grasping priest-hood have bound him.
It is to be hoped that woman will be raised here, too,
in the scale ol humanity. Her’s is a hie of servitude
and toil. Often while the husband smokes bis pipe and
enjoys an indolent repose, his wile is seen drudging in
the distance. For her there seem? no rest from labour
till the day closes, and the first light of dawn upon her
native hills wakes her to her severe and cruel task
Yet, woman-like, she loves, and i9 patient and endur
ing. It made my blood boil within me more than once,
to see towards night, the sleek and hale looking peas
ant, mounted on a mule, riding from the scene of his
labor, with his wife, weary and desponding, and carry

Boston—its Rariroad*—Travel and Trade*
The Bostonians are becoming anxious about the great
expense of procuring hands for railroad ware-houses
ami other accommodations in that city. It hasco.-t the
Old Colony Company nearly as much for depot accom
modations in Boston as the whole expenses of the road
beside; and a large poition of the capital of the Wor
cester road has been sp'nt in the same way.
The Courier says: “Judging from past experience,
in ten years the present trade of our city will be more
than doubled, and its population increased to between
200,000 and 300,(XX), overflowing the city proper, and
I covering East and South Boston, and the adjacent cit
j ies and towns.
j “Th* natural inquiry , where *re the needed store
’ houses to be located ! and what bearing does this view
have ujion the depots necessary at the outlets nnd in
lets of these‘lron Rivers.’ It is next to impossible for
| the Worcester, the Lowell, and the Boston and Maine
: Railroads to obtain the necessary ground, and the pub
lic feel already the insufficiency of their accommoda
-1 tions. What then must be the condition of things in
I future years when the length of roads from the city shall
equal the Mississippi in their reach into the interior!—
Trie great increase of freight and travel has hitherto
exceeded all calculation, even of the most sanguine.
“The memorial of Robert G. Shaw and other
merchants of Boston, to the Legislature, for an exten
sion of the Vermont and Massachusetts road to Troy,
on the Hudson river, says‘the Great Western road has
for the two past years proved incompetent to accom
plish the transit of the vast productions of the West to
the capital oi New England.
“And the petitioners believe that the further facilities
for this immense Eastern traffic, aflbrded by the State
of New York and Albany, both by new railroad aven
i ues, and by widening their grand caunls, will far out
j strip any additional facilities now creating, or which
can be created by the present Western road, even with
1 a double track
j “The Northern Railroad from Concord, N. H. to
Lebanon, built through a wilderness country, at a high
cost, is obtaining, even in the present temporary de
pression, a traffic surpassing the most sanguine expect
! ntions. At the opening of this rood, Mr. Webster,
1 through whose farm in Franklin it passes, predicted,
that, upon the completion of the grand lines in the di
rection of Lake Champlain, one sea-port would be in
sufficient, and the whole northern shore of the Com
mon wealth, from Boston to Newbcrryport, must be
come one grand harbor of export and import.”
It should be borne in mind that a ship canal only some
20 miles in length is being excavated between Lakes
Ontario and Cnamplain ; that the Welland Canal, be
tween Ontaria and Lake Erie is enlarged; and mat a
canal of twice the capacity of the Erie inN. Y. is now
[ übout completed from Lake Michigan nt Chicago, to
‘ the navigable waters ot the Illinois and
rivers.
i9ound policy in this region would seem to dictate
that our railroads reduce the rate of fare for passengers
nnd charges for freight to as low a figure as practicable,
with a view to augment the trade and travel over the
same. From an exceedingly small beginning, the Erie
Cunul has built up, by menus of cheap transportation of
people and property, u business of about one hundred
j millions a year, although navigable only six or seven
| months a year. The art of creaung busmens descives
j to be investigated with great care
Whether it is better to let a road rot out, or i rear it
out, is a question not always viewed in its true light
From 1825 (20 years) the Cunal Comunssioiieis und
Legislature of New York steadily refused to reduce
the toils on western corn in its transit from Lake
Erie to the Hudson river to so low a figure (two mills
per 1000 ibs. per mile) as to render the Canal available
tor sending it to market. Hence, during tout long pc
riod, ‘if ownem of th - uml got i<ss than B2ux>a

! and 1917 this imstuken policy of high charges wasubsn
doned, and the experiment made with low tolls. The
result is, the receipt of tour times mo e money in one
season (1847) than was obtumed iu 20 years l*lore !
Over six million ImshGs of Western corn passed thro’
die Erie Canul last year; and the work paid 45 per ct.

Napoleon’s Design of coming to America.
We believe it has never been known how nenrNupo
wns to coming to America, after the terrible battle
of Waterloo, wfrre in the srquel of the fight, when de
tent lu'cmne certain, he in vain presented liis bosom to
the fire ol his enemies, in the nope that he might be
spared the fatal end which seemed tohnng around him.
Leaving the wreck ol his once powerful army to Moult,
and flying ns upon the wings of the wind, he was the
first to announce at Paris the fatal defeat which had lie
fallen him. From Paris he went to Mnlinaison where
he had in vain labored to reconcile nud treat with the en
einy. Finding reconciliation in vain nnd the overthrow
of his power certain, the design picsented itself to him
of escaping to America, and accordingly he went, with
•few of Ins chosen followers, to Rochefort, with the
view of escaping on hoard some vessel which might he
in port. But Rochefort was blockaded by an English
fb et, nnd the coast lined with English cruizers. All
this is known, but what we Imve not seen,is the follow
ing anecdote, related to us by one of the Massachusetts
members of Congress, on the authority of a New Eng
land Captain (Captain Brewster, of Preston, Conn )
rin*ae services were solicited to bring Na|H>!ean to\he
l luted States. When just upon the eve of hisdepart
a(fits man was accosted i.i the streets of Havre, by ;
one who informed him that lie had an important piece j
of intelligence to communicate. .A private interview J
wiis had, under a aofrmn pledgeofsecrecy, and altera
soießili assurancs that no dishonorable proposition was I
to be made.
94 When do you sail for America V* was the first ques- I
tion.
■“To-morrow morning” was the reply.
‘‘Will you fora sum o! money that shall make you
independent for life, and beyond the value of your ship I
und cargo and all possible profit, consent to take Na
poleon Bonaparte to America f The money shall be j
paid to you iu any manner, dep< ited any where in Pa- j
ns, and papers executed to that effect. I am here,
continued the officer, “as agent of my Sovereign, and
directed to make any proposition and to allow any sum
ot money, but I must receive your answer upon the
instant.”
“The Captain responded that the ship was not his
own—that . be coast was lined with English ships, that
escape he feared would be impossible. He could not
answer upon the instant, but would do so at the ap
pointed time and place in two hours. Visiting his ship
which was loaded and ready for departure, he conclu
ded that he m ght conceal the Emperor in a manner
which would p,‘event detection. At the time appoint
ed hemade known his p impose, arranged as to the com
pensation he should receive, had papers of a satisfacto
ry character executed to that effect, and made his ar
rangements accordingly. His illustrious visitor was to
be on board at 12 iVclock nt night, nnd every thing was
arranged to receive him. At 12 o’clock at the very
hour and moment when every preparation was made to
receive the illustrious soldier, u messenger arrived with
a note from the officer, that Napoleon finding his ene
mies so many and escape so difficult, had concluded,
and an ill-starred coi elusion it was for him, to repose
a noble confidence in .’lis great enemy, and surrender
himself to the British.
“As is known he prei-ented himself with his suite on
hoard of the Bellerophoit, and wrote to the Prince Re
gent ol England, surrendering himself n prisoner, ask
ingonly a resting place upon the soil of his enemy, for
i the remainder othis life. The sequel is known,—ban
-1 ishineiit to St. Helena, and, living there till his death,
15th of May, 1815.
“The American vessel, which was to have taken
Napoleon to America was bearded three times, by as
many armed vessels and twiire by one. Suspicion ap
peared to have been excited against her some time be
fore her departure,and even before the Captain had re
ceived any communication fro ti Napoleon’s Agent. —
ilis vessel was pretty thoroughly searched upon all these
occasions, and once a gun was fired for him to bear to
n second time. He obeyed of course, but our informant
assures us that in ail these searches, the place w’liere he
lmd designed to place Napoleon w as never once search
ed or suspected, and that he shoulif therefore have safe
ly broui-ht him to the United State*. Here he might
have died in peace of inind, or beeir living among us
now AtSt. Helena, to use his own words, the cruel
i ty of his keeper, Mir Hudson Low * , caused his death.
Napoleon said of Lowe, that “lie w is an executioner
’ sent to assassinate him, a man wholly without a heart
and merely capable of discharging the otiice and du
, ties ol a jailor.’— Balt, American.
Lainnrtinc’s I'oolncss*
’ On Monday following the flight of Philippe,
a grand council was held of all the revolutionary lea
i dersassembled to dictate terms a hum clue to the Pro-
J visional Government. The wise and cairn demeanor
| id Lamartine seams to have irritated in no small degree
* the boiling, passionate nature ot Laginngr, whose -x
----! eitement was so fierce and terrible that several of the
! members oi the assembly prepared to withdraw in
alarm. Lamartine alone blenched not, sang froid and
self possession displayed in his replies only served to in
crease the savage anger of h a opponent the more. At
length, exasperated beyond control, the infuriate repub
lican drawing a pistol from his pocket, nishing towards
Lamartine, exclaiming, “ Thou art no true patriot!’’—
pointed the weapon at lh* head of the minister—
“ What hinders me Irom taking tby life now—at once
—ujon the instant f” shrieked he, with n redoubled fu
ry, as the calm glance ol Lamartine met his eye.—
“ lour own conscience,” coolly replied the minister,
“ami the utter uselessness of sucu an outrage; for should I
fall, there will still remain my colleagues, who, all to
a man, have resolved to die rather than to submit to vio
lence, or to return to the senseless anarchy of ‘93!"—
The words had the efiect of calming ior an instant the
tury of Lagrange—he dropped the weapon which he
held, and turning pad© as death, while his eye quailed
before the steady gaze of Lamartine, he uttered be
tween his teeth, “ Tnou art not a true republican, nor a
patriot; but I verrily believe thou art an honest man!”
and then sank again upon Ins seat at the council board,
trembling in every limb,nnd apparently exhausted wuh
the effort ol passion to which ne had given way. It was
then that his neighbor, L- Caussidere, managed to seize
the postol which he had placed liemde him, and by his
i presence of mind saved the Assembly from a dreadful
I catastrophe, for in the space of a tew moments Lagrange
arose, and with the most frightful yells and bowlings,
| began to rend the clothes from his back and tear the flesh
from ins bosom, until the bl<od spirted forth, all the
! while uttering the most fearful imprecations and hlaa
j pheinies. In an i aslant tin* whole* Assembly was in an
uproar—the terror of the scene was greater than words
can describe. It was evident that the fierce excitement
‘ of the last few day** had turned the brain ot Lagrange
and produced a fit of raging madness He was secured
| with difficulty, ami borne to a nuiison de Sante at
Monmartre, where he now remains, 1 believe, still a ra
j gmg maniac.— -Cor. Boston Atlas.

Druids or Celtic Mysteries*
It is supposed that the Celts possessed peculiar se
crets. The druids were their priests, and formed, as
the Brahmin? do in India,a paculiar caste among them;
and like the Brahmins were held in the highestiestma
tion ; inasmuch as they were the teachers and philoso
phers of these people, and had great influence with the
government itself They officiated ut uil public und
private sacrifices ; explained the principles ot religion ;
distributed all rewards; and, at certain seasons of the
year, officiated ns judges, nnd determined the punish
ment of particular crimes, and punished those who re
fused to submit to the decisions with excommunication,
whereby they were prohibited from attending public wor
ship; they could even excommunicate a whole nation at
one time. They elected the principle officers in every
city, who dared not undertake any thing of importance
without having first consulted them. They were free
from all taxes and imposts. The instruction of the
youth not only in religious matters, but every other kind
of knowledge, except the art of war, was exclusively
in their hands. Their instructions were all communi
cated orally .and in verses, which had often n secret
meaning. They also believed in the immortality of
the soul, nnd in its transmigration through various bod
ies. Besides thi?. they gave instructions in the nature
I and movements of the planets; ui the immensity of the
universe ; the form and motions of this earth ; the origin
of created beings, and tlu* might nnd power of the gods.
1 They also practised astrology, witchcraft ami sootnsay
: ing,and were not without experience in natural history
! and medicine ; yet the latter art they disguised by sufier
j stition. Their opinion of the value of tne misletoe as n
I medicine, was mod singular ; for they considered it to
I be the most holy thing in nature, and a universal medi
cine. It is probable that this holy misletoe was the par
aaitical misletoe, which grows so frequently on oaks
J and from which bird-lime is now prepared. The oak
I they considered sacred, and from it they derived their
name. With respect to their government, they lmd
a chief Druid, who was elected by a majority of votes,
and who held his office for life.— Gazette.
O’ConueiUs Tact in (Toss-Fxauiitiation.
He was once examining a witness, whose inebriety at
the time to which the evidence referred, .t was essential
to his client's case to prove. He quickly discovered
the man’s character. He wa9 a fellow who may be de
scribed as “ half foolish with roguery.”
“ Well, Darby, you told the Lulb to this gentleman ?”
—“ Yes, your honour, Counsellor O’Connell.”
“ How do you know my name “ Ah! sure every
one knows our own;; ilhnot.”
“ Well you are a good humored, honest fellow ; now
tell me Darby, did you take a drop ol anything that day?’
—“ Why, your honor, I took my share ol a pint of spir
its.”
“ Your share ofit ? now, by virtue ol your oath, was
not your share of it— all but the pewter ? ’ —Why, then,
dear knows, that’s true for you, sir.”
The court was convulsed at both question and an
swer. It soon came out step by step, that the mail was
d.tink.and was not therefore a competent witness.—
Thus O’Connell won his case for his client.
Here is another instance of his ready tact and infinite
resource in the defence ol his clients. In a trial at Cork
tor murder, the principal witness swore strongly against
the prisoner, lie particularly swore that u hut tound
near the place ot the murder belonged to the prisoner
whose name was James.
“ By virtue of your oath, you are sure that this is the
same hat j"—■“ Yes.”
“ Did you examine it carefully before you sw ore in your
information that it wns the prisoner's ("—“ I did.”
“ Now, let me see,” said O’Connell,as he took up t!ie
hat, and began to examine it carefully in the inside. He
then spelled aloudthe name of James 9lowiy, thus—
“ J-n-ui-e-s. Now do you mean those w’ords were in
the lint when you found it.”—” 1 do.”
“ Did you see them there 1” —“ 1 did.”
“ And this is the same hat I”—li is.”
“Now, my lord,’said O’Connell, holding up the hat
to the bench, “ there is an end of the case; there is no
name whitever inscribed on the hat.” The result was
an insta.it acquittal.— Fagan's Life and Times of

The memorialist himsell (said Mr. J ) b not only
known hut justly distinguished for the zeal, ability, and
efficiency with which toi a period of near thirty years
he has pursued and promote t the great cause ot gricul
turul science. It may, I think, with truth be said that
itspresent improved condition amongst us is more or less
to be attributed to his long and continued efforts lie has
not only been its Hr**t pioneer,but he has been through
out amt still is in the advance, earnestly striving to re
move all remaining obstructions, and to bring it to a
state ol ultimate per lection Mucins his object in the
present memorial; and if he succeeds, as looking to the
real honor and interest ot the nation, i trust he will,
what incalculable benefit w ill he have conferred upon
the country ? Military glory may cause the nation’s
to heat high with gratitude, but it mors often <laz

And yet, s r, whilst millions have been and are still
being expended by us for the arts which leach the de
struction of life, how much hot been given l< this no
blest ot ailsriences, which instructs only to prolong, and
to render life happy and virtuous f Nothing, literally
nothing Sir, the memorialist states, and 1 have such
confidence in his nrcuracy that 1 am sure the state
ment may be relied upon, that of the amount ol the dis
bursement* of the Government eighty per cent is for
military and naval expenses that U to say , eighty dol
lars of every one hundred paid by the people into the

He gives us another tact worthy also of notice, and
especially worthy of the notice ol the agneulturists of
the nation. It i* tins ; that from 1780 to l(tl3 the ex
penditure* of the Government ? exclusive of payments
(Hi account of the public debt, tor nu*rely Civil objects
were wlult lor the mime time they were
tor military and naval objects $.%38,‘Jt>4,378. And
even ol tins trifling comparative amount appropriated
lor peaceful purpose* only, the agriculturists ol the
country enjoyed no exclusive advantage. To encourage
their department ol hunutn labor, to improve their
condition, to increase their power, to elevate them in
the seals of social existence not a dollar of it was ap
plied Aznlyet.su, what elmtn have they not had
u|sm tlir countenance and pfolsoUon of the Govern
ment {
To say nothing of the fact which reason establishes
and history conliruis, that it Islvith thm that the true
strength und virtue of a tins people arc evri to he found

intothe common fund, persuasively demand* for them the
fostering hnnd of all. It is estimated, sir, and the
amount is, I incline to think , below the truth, to be
$654,387,598—a sum three times greater than the value
of the manufacturing industry of the country, and
five times greater than that ot all the other sourcea of
human industry combined.
I invoke the serious regard of the agriculturists to
to these facta. They must sec in them how command’
ing are their claims upon the government, and how
shamelessly they have been discarded. The cause is to
be* found intheir want heretofore of onion amongst
themselves in soma movement upon the subject. There
seems to be now approaching a propitious time for some
joint and effectual effort. Peace, I trust will soon be
seen to hush the noise of war within our own borders.
The mighty popular convulsions now heaving with ter
rific power in the old world promise to subside in the
annihilation of arms as an employment. The long
lost or limited liberty of man appears to be on the eve
of complete restoration. Civil employment, nothing
hut civil employment, should be the result ; and hap
piness, and wealth, and power, and true glory will he
promoted in proportion Governments devote their
| means to proper encouragement of civil life. This,
sir is not the occasion to meet in advance any constitu
i tjonal impediment which may be suggested to the par
| ticular encouragement solicited by this memorial. I
! content myself, therefore, witli saying that a careful ex
amination of the question, founded upon the letter ami
spirit of the constitution,and the opinions of its fathers,
• leaves my mind in no doubt,in none whatever.
If commerce can lie protected and encouraged, and
it has been from the beginning of the Government to the
I present day ; if manufacturers can be protected and en
couraged , and they hove also been from first to lust; if the
! profession of arms can even he protected andencourged,
;.nd when has it not been, then why may not agriculture
and her followers be protected and encouraged also ?
Withont adding a word more, I submit the memorial
i anti, as l believe there is no committee to whom its ref
erence would be peculiarly appropriate, I move that it
be referred to a special commitee, and be printed.
Mr Berrien observed that there was a Committe on
! Agriculture, to which it appropriately belonged,
i -Mr. Johnson then moved ihit it b? refered to that com
mittee.
The motion w*os agreed to, and the memorial order
| ed to be printed.
The National Intelligencer refers to tli; presentation
of the petition as a matter of general congratulation
; and says;
Os the power of Congress to apply to this purpose
some portion of the pubii- money—so treely disbursed
in the inprovement and preservation of the art and
i science of modern warfare, which art and science, we
| are sorry to say, the state of the rest of the world
obliges us too, in a certain extent, to cultivate—the ar
gument of Mr. Johnson appears to us to be unanswer
able.
Both Mr. Skin-ver and Mr. Johnson mny well be
; proud of standing forth as the advocates of a policy
which—though its recommendation was re'arded by
ihc prevalence of the European wars which arose out
of the French Revolution, and by Indian wars and
! insurrectionary movements at home—was. yet present
'd to Congress, in a most imposing term, by President
Washington, in the last annual Message which he ad
• dresßed io diem. Though the seed fl*ll on barren
ground and yielded no fruit—the attention of Congress
being divided between the conflict of newly formed
• parties and th* danger then imminent of a foreign war
—the authority of such a recouum ndstion from such a
1 source is not the less worthy of respect. We are glad
j to bring this recommendation freshly to the recollec
i tion of our readers, as we do by quoting from the Mes
sage referred io the entire passage of it relating to this
! subject, as fid lows :
! “It will not be doubted that, with reference either to
| individual or national welfare, agriculture is ot primary
importance. In proportion a* nationsadvance in popula
tion, and other circumstancesnf maturity, this truth be-
I comes more apparent, and renders the cultivation of the
; soil more and more an object of public patronage. Institu
tions for promoting it grow up, supported by the public
purse. Among the means which have bc n employed to
this end, none have been attended wuh irn nii r success
than the establishment of boards, composed of proper
j characters,charged with collecting mid d.fluting m-
I formation ; and enabled by premiums ami small pe
j cun.ary aids, toencourage and assist a spirit of Jis
-1 covery and improvement. This species of establish;
mem contributes doubly tothe increase of'improvement,
by stimulating to enterprise and experiment, and by
drawing to a coinnK)ii|center the results, every where,
of indlvdual skill and observation, and spreading them
thence over the whole nation. Experience, nccord
, ingly, has shown that they are very cheap instruments
of immense national benefits/’

The Cherokee Advocate says that the wheat crop in
| that country was never more promising at dus seoaon.
| It adds:
“ Our fanners have sown double the quantity of land
of last year. Wheat readily commands eighty cents a
bushel, mid from the number of mills, for the manufac
ture of Flour now in operation or in the procet* of
construction, it is most probable that the prices will be
I sustained.”
j The Cherokee country can easily grow six millions
jof bush Is of this grain tor export every year. It will
soon lie to Georgia what the Genesee Valley and West
ern New York are to the Empire State. The wheat
I lands of the latter, (which are as far from the seaboard
j as those in Northern Georgia) are regarded ns cheap at
j Hixty dollursper acre. So soon as the must improved
agricultural implement* are generally introduced into
; the Cherokee country—implements which have reduc
| ed the cost of wheat culture more than fifty percent in
Western New York—the profits of growing wheat will
| be largely increased, and the business proportionably
extended. Bv diminishing the cost of production, the
; soils which abound in the elements of this grain are
more than doubled in vulue. Wheat shoultf be both
! sown and harvested by horses or muies propelling ma
chinery ; whilst the plows,harrows, and cultivators used
in tillage should run on wheels to remove all unneces
sary frictions, and thereby augment the mechanical
power of ihe team.
A sample of Glierokeetlour has recently been analyz
ed by the Editor of the SouUtei n ( ultuu tor, in couuec
tion with one of the best Genesee (Hiium Smith’s)
j brands. The quantity of gluten— fiesh-farm ing ele
! meats—is thirty per cent larger in the former than the
latterjsample Smirk’s Wheatland flour is whiter and
contains more starch than that of Georgia ; but it is not
1 so strong, nor will it make so many pounds of good
bread per barrel by seven per cent. Whether this dif
ference is attributable to a virgin soil in the one case,
and its absence in the other, or to a difference iu climate,

The Potato disease.
Anew work by Liebig, containing a treatise on the
j potato disease, is to be issued in Boston shortly. A
’ communication m the Boston Cornier states that after
its publication in Europe, the method oi Dr. Kiotich,
keeper of the Royal Herbarium of Berlin, was publish
ed, and gives strength to the views ot Liebig Also,
that the method has been tried m this country w ith suc
cess against the “rot.”
Dr. Jvlotadi submitted his method to the world on
, condition that he was to receive #!,400 reward, if after
three years’trial it shall prove successful. The rasen
; tial points for the protection of the plant and multipli
cation of ibe tubers, given, are as fallows .
The chief points to be attended to, with a view to the
; attainment of the objest, namely, the iucrease of tubers,
are—
-1 To iucrease the power in the roots, and
3. To check the transformation which occurs in the
leaf!
We obtain both enda simultaneously, if, in the sth,
6th and 7th week after setting the tuber*, and in the 4th
and sth week after planting out germs furnished with
roots,orats time when the plants reach the bright of
: six to nine inches above the soil, we pinch ofl the ex
trente point* of the branches or twigs to the extent of
half an iuch downwards, and repeat this on every branch
*r twig m the 10th and Uth week, no matter at what
lime ot day.
I’lie consequence of this check to the development of
the stein mid branches, is a stimulus to the nutrient
mailer* in the plant in the direction of th? increase, both
of roots and ol the multiplication of the branches, of
the stem above ground, wlmli not only favors the pow
er of the root, but also strengthens the leaves and stalks
to such a degree, that the matters prepared hy the phys
j io logical action of these parts are increased and appli
ed to the formation of tuber* ; while, at th** same time,
. the direct action of the aun’a rays on the foil is prevent
; ed by the thick foliage, and thus the drying up of the
soil and its injurious conarquiuceaare avoided.
