THE ADVENTUROUS BOY. While tlio fleet lay at anchor, one of the most lu?art-tlirilling scenes occuried onb aid the commodore's vessel, that 1 ever wilness- ed. In addition to tho usual appendages ofa ship of war tlicro was a large and miscliiev- u tnonke onboard, turned Jocko, retilned lor the amusement oi the ship’s company. Uwusmy watch on deck, und having re tired to tlio side of the vessel, I was musing on the' beautiful appearence of the fleet, when a loud, merry laugh hurst : upon my ear. On turning to assertoJn the cause of such an unusual sound on tho frigate’s deck. I perceived the commodore’s little son, whom tho crew nicknamed “little Bohstay,” stand ing half way up tho main hatch ladder, elop ing his lands and looking at some object that cuun>«>4 t'r inspire lrim with u deal of glee. A single glance explained the cause'of Ids merriment. As Boh was coming up from the gnu deck. Jocko, tho monkey, perceiving him on tho indder and dropping ^suddenly from tho rigging, had leaped upon his shoul der. seized his cap, and running up the main- topsail sheet, seated himself, on the main yard. Here he sat picking tho tassel of his prize to pieces, occasionally scratching his sides, and chattering as If in exultation at the Mtecoss of his mischief.. Bob, bolug a sprightly active fellow, did not like to lose his cap without an effort to regain it. Purbapsho was t he more strongly in dined to make a chase after Jocko from ob serving me smile ut Ids plight, and hearing the loud laugh of Cato, the black man, who seemed inexpressibly delighted with the oc currence. “Ila, you rascnl, Jocko,” said tho black man, “hab you no more respect for de young officer, den to steal his cap 7 We bring you to the gangway, you black nigger, and gib fftV 'tTio "porch a. if ho understood tho threat of tho negro, and chattered a sort of defiance In answer. Ha, ha, massa Bob, ho say you mus' ketch him 'fore you flog him; and 'tis noeosy mat- tor for a midshipman in hoots to kotch a monkey barefoot 1” The cheeks of little Bob looked red, ns ho cost a look of otloiidod prido at Cato, and springing across tlio deck, in a moment he was half way up tho rigging. The monkey quiotly watched his motions, and when nearly up, suddenly put out ills own head,' and ascended to the top cross-trees, and qui etly seating himself, resumed his work of picking tho tassel. In this manner, the mis- clicvlous animal succeeded In ontlcing Bob as high as tho royal mast-head, when, suddenly Bpringing on tho rigging, lie again ascended to the foretop, and running out on tlio fore yard, hung up tho cap on tlio end of tho stud ding sail boom, where, taking Ids seat, lie rais ed a loud and exulting chattering. By this tlmo Bob was completely exhausted, and not liking to return to be laughed at. ho sat down on the cross-trees. Tho s|>cctat0r8, presuming that tho boy would not follow tho monkey, but descend to tlio deck, paid no further attention to them I, also, had turned away, and had bcon en gaged somo minutes, when I was startled by a cry from Cato exclaiming that “Massa Bob was on tho main truck!'' A cold shudder run through ray veins ns tho word struck on my cars. I cost my eye up; it was too true. Tho adventurous boy, alter resting a little, had cliined to the skysail polo, and at tlio mo- ofmy looking, wasactunlly standing on tho circular ;iteco of wood, on tlio very summit or tho loftiest mast; atn height so great that my brain tdrned dizzy as I looked up nt him. There was nothing above him or around him but empty spiico. and buneath him nothing but a small unstable wheel. Dreadful temerity I If ho attempted to stoop, wlint could ho take hold of to steady Ills motion 1 His feet covered up the small and fearful platform-on which he stood ; and beneath that a long sinooth polo, that seem ed to bond bononth his weight, was all that upheld -him Horn destruction. In endeavor ing to get down he' wonld'jnovitiibly loso hie balance, and he precipitated to tho deck, a crushed and shapeless mass. In this.terrible exigency, what was to be done! To hail him and inform him-of his danger, it was thought, would ensure ills ruin. fu| cuiusmiphe. I could uut bear to, took at him. and yet could not withdraw my gaze.— A fllln came ovor my eyes, aud a faintness over my heart. By tills tlmo the deck was covered tyith of ficers and crew, to witness this appalling, this heart-rending spectacle. Ail seemed mute. Evory feeling, every faculty scorned absorbed in one deep, intense emotion of agony. At tills moment a stir was made among tho crow about tho gangway, when the com modore, the boy's Iktlior, made his appear ance. Ho had come on board without being noticed by a single eye. Tlio commodore asked not a question, uttered notaByllable.— Ho was au austere man, and it was thought by some that ho did not entertain a very strong afll'ctloh fbr ills son. AH eyes were now fixed on him, endeavoring to rend ills ..motions in ills couutenaucu. oyo routined its severe expression, his brow tho slight down it usually wore, and his H|i its haughty curl; in short, no outward sign indicated what was passing within ! Imme diately on reaching tlio deck, ho ordered n marine to linnd a musket, when, stepping aft, ho took a deliberate aim at ids son, at tho samo tlmo hailing him with ids trumpet, In a voice of thunder! “Robert," oried ho, “Jump overboard,- or I’ll lire nt you I” The hoy seemed to hcsilato, and It was plain that ho was tottering, for ills arms wore thrown about likoono endeavoring to balanco himself. Tito commodore raised ills voice again, and in a quicker and more energetlo tone cried, “ Jump I 'Tis your only chance for - llf ‘l J mrwortls' Wore scarcely out of Ills mouth, before ho left tho truck and sprung out Into the air. A sound between a shriek and a groan burst from many lips. Tito father spoke not—sighed not; inded. he seemed not to hruathu. For n moment of Intense agony, a pin might Imve bcon heard to drop on deck. With a rush like that ofa cannon hail, the body descended to tlio wa ter, and before tlio wnvos closed over it. twenty stoHt fellows had dived from tho bul wark. Another short period of (uspenae on- sued. Tlio boy rose—he was alive—his arm was scon to move—lie struck out towards the ship. Ip spite of tlio dlsclpllno of n man of war. three loiid huzzas, the outburst of unfeigned joy, from tlio hearts of five hundred men, pealed through the air and made tho welkin ring. Till tlila moment, tho old commodore stood unmoved. His face uow was ashy paid. He.attempted to descend from .the block, hut Ids knees bentuudor him—beseemed to gnsp Jhr-hreath. and iwwyea to tor opeirUIs vest; but In tho etlbrt tie staggered, and would have fUllcn had lie' not been caught by tho by- standors. -He was borne to his cabin, wlioro tho sur geon attended him, whoso utmost skill tens required to restore Ids mind to its usual equa nimity and self-command, in which ho at last happily succeeded. As soon as ho re covered from the dreadful shock, he sent, for Bob, and hod a long confidential conference with him ; and it was noticed, when tlio little il-llow left the cabin, he was in tears. era wheat drills, threshers, corn sliuekera aud ■ hellers, straw cutters, horse powers, &c\ may bo found there in the greatest porfeetion, and in prime working order. The threshing apa- ratus is very complete—so much so, that 800 bushels of grain have been threshed, cleaned and sacked iti one day. Wo also noticed an improved corn shucker and shelter, capable of shucking and sholling 260 busliols, or shelling alono 600 bushels per day. Many of the common Implements were mado in the workshop of the fhrm; and tho others mostly obtained from tho agricultural ware-liousos of 0. B. Rodgers of Philadelphia, and E. Whitman of Baltimore. Fowls.—Wo wore much pleased with tlio fine and healthy appearance of tho poultry at “Dovon Hall," and convinced boyond doubt of their good table qualities by repeated experi ment-. These- fowls arc a mixture of tho of tho first with the excellent flesh of tho lat ter fowl, in a remarkabiu degreo. Wo com mend this “cross” to all lovers of “chicken Axons,” with perfect confidence. Tlie proprietor of “Devon Hall" farm In tends to devote It mainly, horcafrer, to tho growth of wheat, the raising of thorough bred (Devon) stock, the making of butter, raising of potatoes, &c., and the various operations of expdHmohtal and "high flirmlng."

Dear Sir You agreo with mo, that If tlio spindle and tho loom could bo transferred to the cotton fields, your condition and that of your fellow-planters would ha greatly Im proved, because you would tlioreby bo ena bled to trade directly, and without tho inter vention of Lowell or Manchester, with tho producers of pork and beef, horses and mules, at the Northwest; of fine cloths, furniture and books at tlio North; of silks and tea in Chi na ; of cofleo and sugar in tho West Indies and South America; and of tho thousand kinds of manufactured goods now produced in Europe, that at present cannot bo produced at home: but you arc utiablo to see how such a measure is to bo carried out, Where, you ask, is thu -capita] to come fromt ItWOTWIllf UUIloulty, no you eoy, that a lbw milts were established, and many of them have already stopped, while scarcely any have yielded profit to their owners. Exactly so i Wlint you describo is precisely what might have boen anticipated when you repealed the tariff of 1842, under which the domestic consump tion of cotton more than doubled in five years. With all tlio advantage of cheap corn und cheap cotton you cannot compete with tho North, and yet this is precisely what the ta riff of 1846 has forced you to try to (iq. Hod tho tariff of 1842 remained in operation, tho Yankees would before this tlmo Imve found a demand lor fine cottons, that would lmvo ena bled them to abandon tho manufacture of coarse ones, ami before thk time yon would liavo placed yourselves in a position to make the latter cheaply, whilo tho domestic de mand would at this momeut be absorbing a million of bales of cotton, and tlio day would bo now not far distant when you would bo ex- cffma'to of the south, shade aiid moisture are indlspensihle. Any person who possesses a piece of woodland reasonably moist, and not too sandy or porous, can readily convert it into a valuable and permanent woods pas ture, by adopting tile plan pursued by Mr. Peters, which is ns fellows: In tlio first place, cut down all sm 11 and worthless trees, bushes, saplings, Ac., and grub out tho roots as clean as possible. Then break up tho ground thoroughly, with a strong coulter or bull-totlgue; liarrow as finely ns possible, nfturwords, and sow about a bushel of seed to tile acre, dragging it well in with a bush. A mixture of Kentucky Blue Grass White and Red Clover and Orchard Grass, may bo used for uplands; and Herds Gra-s (northern “red top") with a slight mixture of Wliito'Clovor, will succeed well on unolands or bottoms. Herds Grass nmy bo used ns tho basis for lowland, mid blue Grass for upland. Tlio mired grasses do best, for the reason that somo of them grow offrapiuly, at once; whilo others, like the Blue Grass, can scarcely ho seen at tlib end of tho first season. By tho end of tho thlra season, however, they take almost entire possession of tlio ground, to thu exclusion of those of raoreearlygrowth. This mixed grass seed may bo sown late in fall or in early spring, and tlio pastures would bo greatly bonoflttud by an occasional top-dress ing of plaster and ashes. Hogs.—Afrer trying nearly all known breeds and varieties, Mr. Peters lias finally settled upon tho S uffolk! and tlielr crosses, as tho most profitable' and valuable "stock” hogs. Tlio Suffolk is pure white in color; of medi um size: small boned; ftitlcns very readily, arrives at maturity carlv; mid. when crossed with tho Berkshire, Grazier or other largo breeds, produces a vory valuable animal for uitlier tlio fanner or drover. Tho stock of Mr. P. nro from the importation of the late Mr. Stickhoy, of Boston, which liavo long boon regarded as tlio purest in tills country. Horses and Moles.—About 14 head-of horses and mules are used for farm work, to gether with one or two yoke of oxen. Large Kentucky brood marcs nro kept for tho pur pose of raising mules, which marcs perform a large portion of t'.:o work of tho plantation, A very superior Spanish Jack, imported by Mr.'Easley, of 8. C , is also kept on the firrm. Agricultural Implements.—Tlio assort- meat of “farming tools” at "Devon Hall” is the ihost extensive and complete that wo have anywhere noticed, out of tho largo a-trlcultu- _ ^ ral warehouses.- All the Improved turning Every moment I oxpocted to 8co the dread ^ and sub-soil plows, harrows,seed-sowers, roll- of button on hand, at only twenty millions of pounds, or ninety-six millions of dollars, and if it has doubled in the intermediate ported, tho present amount is but one hundred and ninety-two millions ol dollars; arid that is certainly not threo times as muoh as you will lose this year by selling your crop at 7 or 8 cents, when you might have 12 or IS, and you would liavo far more ovon than that if you would but dotermlno to liavo direct trade with tho world.

[onjes and your people, and for your own survices for a year, you have sevonconts; whilo tho monopolist mill-owner who buys his wool on Monday and turns It onton Tuesday or.Wcdnoaday, receives twolvo and a half, out of which ho lies to allow a small amount for waste, and to pay a most trivial sum for tho labor of tho peoplo who perform tho work. • You havo boro the secret of tho small consumption of cotton, You liavo first to pay fo> transporting it from tho placo of produtation, and In its most bulky Ibrrn, to Manchester; next you have to pay Innumerable commissions and expenses; noxt, tho spinner must have twclvonnda half cants per pound for converting it into yam; noxt it must pass through the hands of tho man who makes It Into cloth; noxt, it pays com mission on sales and purchases in Manchester, nbxt, freight to Now York or Philadelphia; next, commissions, rents, and charges of all kinds In thoso c’tics; next, transportation to Indiana or Illinois; and tho result is, that tho pumict of cloth whlch"lcavcs your plantation at oo-mn canta, oclls to tliu consumer at torty, fifty, or sixty cents; and yet all the capital required for converting It Into cloth has not been one tenth part as great as the capital you have employed in its production, and all the la bor required has not bee: one quarter as great. Nevertheless, for this trivial quantity of capi tal and labor tho consumer of your cotton pays threo, four, or fivo times ns much as you receive for tho largo amount of capital and labor yon employ; and it Is for the pur pose of compelling yon to continue to receive that small portion, and to permit tho Man chester man to lire at your exponso, that Great Britaiu labors to impress upon your mind tho advantages tiiat must result to you fi-om having only one market in which to soil your cotton, and one market in which to buy your cloth and your iron. Look, now, around your plantation, and yon will soo that by an economical application of tlio labor power upon it, yon could in a sln glo year frirnlsh as much of It as would ho have been contending for n market that was from year to year absorbing loss cotton, and tho question has boeu which of you should crush the other; and tho result is now soon in tho fact that tbo consumption of Southern mills lias already diminished ono half, while that of Nbrorthorn odes lias not diminished over twenty per cent. You havo thus crush ed your own peoplo in tho effort to crush tho Yankees, and such has been the effort of ova ry measure the South bos thus far adopted with a view to that object. It is yourselves and not tho Yankees that really need protec tion. Lot things remain as they are, and you never can trado with tlio worldexceptthrongh tho mills of Manchester and Lowell; blit de termine to protect yourselves in your offorts to draw tho spindle and the loom to tako their natural places by the sido of tho plow nod tho harrow, and tho day of emancipation from tho control of both will then bo not Ihr dis tant. You ask, howover, whore is tho capital to come from 1 In answer, lot mo call your at tention to tho fhet that nil the materials of the mill abound in your immediate neighborhood, and chat thoy need but the application ol la bor to put them into tho form of a house fitted to contain machinery. Look on your own plai ration, and you will find an abun dance of both stone and wood. Look again; and you will see that you waste annually as much of tho labor of mon, horses, carts and wagons, as wou'd ent and fusliion a vast deal of timbor. and quarry avastquantityofstono. and haul tho two to tho placo at which tho .mill should stand. Look next among yonr fellow-planters and see if it is not tho same with all of them, and then determine if you could not by on united exertion build a mill- housoout of tho savings ofa single dollar. That done, you would need machinery, but you would find abundance of persons wil ling and anxlouB to frirnlsh that, provided it was known that tho plauters had at length fully determined to porsovere in their efforts to reliovo themselves from tho system which looks to giving them but one market in which to soil their cotton, and ono in which to buy their cloth. It is tlio policy of Manchester to impress upon yon tho idea that the cotton trade requires a vast capital, but as carefully do the Manchester men avoid to call your at tention to tho fact that the whole amount at this day invested-in the cotton machinery of England is hot three times as much as your annual loss for want of direct trado with iho world.

Why is it so 1 We think we can tell our farmers the reason why. T 1 hey are tlio ciuso of It—they are at the bottom of it. They raise but one article for sate—cotton—and buy every thing else, Cotton rises in price, as it did iast year ini; ' and l as more than repaying me for the little services I havo rendered to my country. I ant well pleased too, gentlemen, with tho platform you liavo adopted—It meets my hearty and cordial ap proval ; and lot mo assure you, gentlomen, tills Is not now horn Ikith with mo. Yonrs ago I entertained tho samo sentiments ex pressed in that platform, on tho subject or Southern rights. I can assure you that I was ono of tho first to givo In my hearty and cordial approval and endorsement of thoso measures, when they wore before Congress.— Tliora were but two othors ahead of mo In point of time, in tholr advocacy and the ap proval of thoso measures. I mean Mr. Olay, and Sonator Foote of your State. As early aB I860, when first brought befbro Congress, I openly avowed mytolf the friend of tho moasurcs, and then and slnco, as many I think on an avorage of fivo times a day, havo I openly and publicly declared my sentiments to every man, woman and child who has ap proached mo on iho subject. I havo not annffht nortun I do-1 roll any oonodalraant of my views and opinions In roforonco to them, and it Is a matter ofoxtrorao astonish mont to me, that my sontiments havo boon so grossly misrepresented, and that I have boon mado tho subject or such unjust ami malicious slander. My nnmo has boen cou pled with that of Wm. IL Seward; and I havo been charged with ontertaintng sentiments in oommon with him, in relbronco to Southern Institutions. Nothing can be ihoro unjust and Ihlso. It is true, I am personally ac quainted with Mr. Seward, and that ho Is personally my friend; but I am not responsi ble for his peculiar sotttltnchls nor Ihtteo of any other man who may sed proper to sup port mo, and no man living knows hotter than ho, what my opinions are and always have been.'

He approached mo upon tbo subject of those measures, and oskod my opinion id reference thereto. I replied to him in theso words: "I am dead for tho Constitution- dead for tho Union—dead for tho Compro mise—and dead against any man who Is op posed to them or either of thorn.”—Tho lan guage used by myself on that occasion, was so positive and emplintlo, that in alluding to tt since—for ho woll remembers the con versation—be has oven charged mo with rudeness. Goncral Scott proceeded "I havo seen somo service in the causo of our common country, and am now advanced In life. I liavo endeavored to gain at ioast a nnmo for uprightness and candor; and chal- lange the world to produce a singlo witness, who would bo belloved in a court of justlco, who will say that I havo over, by thought, word, or deed, said or done anything to jus tify tho misrepresentations that havo been mado as to my sentiments and opinions, or that they have been otherwise (ban os ex pressed to yon here this day. If any such man can be found, let him bo brought for ward, and I am willing that my past life and services shall be forgotten, and that the word Infamous shall bo written before and after my namo." ' That "Thrilling Dialogue." “ How this world is given to lying” Inciden tally proved by tho following letter addressed by John P. Halo, to the editor of the Wash ington Union. Mr. Wise’s witness has carried a notoriety which will probably change the cheers of the Court Holtse Into so many cuffs for tho libeller: Dover, (N. H„) Ang. 11,1862. Sir:—In tho Washington Union of tho 6th instant, under the head "Mooting In Acco- mac, Virginia—Thrilling Dialogue," a conver sation is said to have occurred between Mr. Wiso and Mr. Mapp at a public meoting,|ln which “the following thrilling dialoguo took placo," Mr. Wleo, “Wore you In New Hampshire two years ago, and did you not hear Hale speak, and say in his speech that ‘he would head an army to march upon the South and piit down slavery 7’ ” Mr. Mapp.—“I was there; hoard Mr. Halo speak, and say whitt you state." Mr. Wiso.—“Did you not hoar Franklin Mr. Mnpp—“t did." Tlio account then proceeds i “You can lm- agino tlio feciihg which tills reply elicited— Tlio court-houso rang WlthappUhle, retwated again and ngnin. Mr. Wise then requested .

To tills penult mo briefly to tcply, that for whatever prirposb shell A dialoguo may have boon spoken ih a Virginia court-houso, tlicro is not a syllable of truth in the wlioio of It - — No such remark Was ever mado by mo, and, of course, no such nlisWor by tien. l'lcrce | nor was tlicro a mooting lioidcn in Ncw-llamp- shlro, or clsowhcro, in which such a dialogue could have occurred!
