’ MONUMENT TO ALEXANDErT”
Thu gigantic undertaking of vhe Emperor
Nicholas’, to erect a monument to the memory
ol'Uis brother •Vh xaudor, is one of the most
stupendous works which have been executed
during the present age, and none but a mon
arch over a natiou of slaves, would Imve con
ceived the idea of expending almost un
limited treasure upon, such a magnificent pro
ject.
The Monument consists of a single block of
granite, eighty-four loot in length, placod on
a pedestal iuid base of thirty six feet, to which
addiu.' tho capital, surmounted by a colossal
statin' ot Alcxmder, and the large platform of
granito wiiicii is the foundation of the niomi-
mont, the height of the whole is one hundred
and sixty feet!
The huge block of granite which forms the
shaft, was riven from a quarry in Finland. In
its rough state it was conveyed to the water
side on rollers and with almost incredible la
bor, was placed on board an enormous flat-
Ixtpmcd vessel constructed especially for this
purpose. \V hen safely embarked, it was stow
ed by three steamers up the Gulf of Finland
to St. Petersburg, and was safely landed on
the quay. By means of an inclined plane, it

culiar to itself, with a soil which nature made
productive, and with institutions that stimulate
our efforts, by securing their lruits from the
capacity of others: how happens it that with
all these advantages, our march is retrogade ?
The answer io tiiis inquiry, I think, may be
found in the principles on which we conduct
our agriculture, in the fact that we bestow our
capital on the increase ot labor, and not on
tii3 improvement of the soil. It is obvious
that the profit of a farmer must arise from the
excess ofliis income over his out-lay or ex
penditure. Now his expenditure however
diversified may be its.items, is ail reducible to
the two heads of labor and laud, and i: is pet-

day in St. I’< tersburgh. It was the llil: of
September, 1832, the birth d.iv of Alexander,

machinery employed for the purpose, were
irrmiaod with much skill and ingenuity, two
iiiousaad workmen were employed, all of whom

d a s of Alexander. There was no noise nor
chnfusion, as might be expected, on raising

was spoken, but all orders, wore given by stri
king a bell. Tiie solicitude of the Emperor
and the nobles, by whom lie was surrounded,
was visible on their countenances. But ns if

Q. Did you ever receive anv money or pro
erty from .Mr. Folger, aud if so, how much, and
of what description !
A. Iu all uiy preaching and especially to
s'.raugers. I have always declared that I would
receive nethiiig from them as if their property
but that if they felt as though they bad iu their
I possession property which they believed belou
J cd to God, and if they he ieved that I was the
servant of God, then they could give me of that
property whatever they pleased; aud I have
ucver received auy property or mouey from any
person iu auy other way, siuce 1 commem eu
preaching the everlasting gospel. Mr. Folger,
Mr. Pierson, and Mr. M. frequently declared to
me that they believed I was the Father, aud ih.tt
I was qualified to establish God’s Kingdom upon
earth, aud that Zion Hill was transferred to me,
with all the appurteuauces thereunto belonging,
for '.hat purpose,—including horses, carriage?,
auit furniture, of the house No. 8, Third street.
• in the city ol New York. Aud it was also a-
greed that the house and Jot No. 8, Third street,
should lie conveyed to me ; aud Mr. Pierson
directed a deed to he tcaue out accconliugiy, hut
died before it was completed. A bill of Chau-
ccry was afterwards filed agaiust me, and "a ne
exeat obtained, by which it appeared that I must
give security iu the sum of ten thousand dollars;
aud 1 consented to resciud -the contract and re
store the property, which I did, as I then believ
ed i was obliged to do so; but I still claim the
property as my own, for the purposes for which
it was originally given ; that is to say, f»r the
purpose of establishing God’s Kingdom on
earth, aud that, that was the beginning.
C£. Did you ever reside iu Mr. Folger’s fam
ily ?
A. I was there a short time previous to the
transfer of the property above mentioned. Mr.
Folger said to me, “When you feel disposed,

about $10,000, which 1 have paid at different

Col. Allen was brave, eveu to rashness. Iu
support of his position, we submit to the reader,
the foliowiug ndvetiture, related to us a short
time siuce, by a gentleman remotely connected
with him :—soon after the Proclamation of the
Provincial Governor of New York was received
by the people of Vermont, in which a reward
of one hundred pounds was offered for the ap
prehension of Allen, much anxiety was felt by
friends for his safety, ou account of the mauy op
portunities offered for arresting him. Allen,
however laughed at their fears—and offered a
bet that he would proceed to Albany—alight at
the most proraiucut house of eiitertainment--
drink a bowl of punch, and finally escape unhar
med. This was accepted. IJis necessary ar
rangements having been made, ho proceeded to
Albany . and after alighting, called for a howl
of punch according to the terms of the bet. It
was soon whispered around, huwever, that “E-

Allen, however, remained unmoved. Having

then that as agriculture improves, the cost of
cultivation relatively to the value of the land
declines. That is, the profits of tho. farmer go
to increase the productiveness of the soil, so
tiiat with tho same labor, ho obtains'larger re
sults. Now it is human labor which'gives their
value to all the other means with which the
farmer operates, and it is consequently the
most valuable and tiie most cosily of aiiy.—
That system then which to produce a given
result, uses the least of this expensive element
of productiveness, is the most profitable. As
the improvement of the soil is obviously the
most effectual means ofdoing this, to grudge
the sums necessary for improvement, is in the
long run, extravagance anti not economy.—
Anti if we leave speculation, and look at fact-,
the conclusion will be the same. By referring
to Mr. Harder’s communication, (Farm. Reg.
1st Vol. 9th No.) it will be seen that with labor
not costing more than $300, he obtains crops
worth more than $2500. Compare tiiis with
what we every day witness in our own part of
the country, where the expense of til'age is
sometimes greater than the whole amount of
the crop, anti it will go far to explain the pro
blem with which we set out. Economy of hu
man labor indeed, scents to me to be the prin
ciple which lies at the foundation of ail good
husbandry, and which will explain every dif
ference between a well and ill managed farm.

PENSION FRAUDS.
Several shocking cases of frauds on the Pen
sion Office have been discovered within the
present year. An Attorney in Kentucky, who
lias held a respectable station in society, is
now in confinement upon such and other chare
ges. A number of persons in Virginia have
been detected, among whom are individuals of
high standing, and one member of the Legisla
ture.
But the most shocking case is in Vermont.
The guilty person was Robert Temple, Esq.
formerly Pension Agent, President of the
Bank of Rutland, and a .nan of groat wealth,
and the first character in that part of the coun
try. Alarmed at the prospect of a publication
of the pensioners’ names, he came to Wasli-
inton, and attempted to bribe a Cleik in the
office to alter the books and make out false
listsfor the printer so as to conceal liis frauds.
The Clerk succeeded in drawing from him a
list of about sixty cases in which lib desired
alterations to be made, or the names omitted.
He promised to write under a ficticious name,
and left Washington. Tiie affair wis then
disclosed by the Cicrk to his superiors, anti an
investigation took place in the War anti Trens-
thatls to bo made. The principal anti interest » r y Departments, in which many circumstan-
mu»t be paid by France, and if paid prior to tho I ces were developed .tending to strengthen the

ON THE TRUE PRINCIPLES OF
PROFITABLE HUSBANDRY.
It is of course, one object >f the efforts of ev
ery farmer, to increase the profits of his estate
but there is'gicat diversity, both of opinion
and practice, as to tho best mode of ©fleeting
tiiis. Tiie method most acted on in Virginia,
or at least in that part of it with which I am
best acquainted, the south side of James River,
is to lay out any surplus of money which the
farmer should happen to have, in the purchase
of additional laborers; to make his land pro
duce as much as he can force out of it every
year; and when it wears out, to buy another
tract if lie can. Aud we arc frequently remin
ded in every argument, that it is to this system
that the rich planters among us own their es
tates. But it may bo objected that these cir-
cu ustanccs in wiiicii these were placed, were
essentially different from ours—land was in
their day fresh and productive, and the price
of agricultural products generally so high, that
even tinder their system of farming, industry
met with a rich reward. It may also be ob
served, that although individuals have thriven
under this system, the community has suflered
—lands have been exhausted by it—population
checked—and tho accumulation of capital
generally’ prevented. The decrease in the
returns of labor, owing principally to tlA) de
terioration oftlic soil in this part of our slate,
is much greater than is generally supposed;
great as it is universally admitted to he. In
the days of our forefathers, 3000 pounds of
tobacco to a hand, was not, it is believed, a i
very uncommon crop. At tlm present day,
1000 pounds are estimated to bo fully the av
erage. In the county of Mecklenburg, cer

Looking then at ail. its consequences, it may
well he questioned, whether we are not re
sponsible for the desolation we have produced,
.whether we have the moral right to strip the
soil of tiie magnificent forests wiiich have wav

has exposed to view, though hastily and slight
ly, one of tiio main causes of unprofitable til

that ho did not extend liis remarks, and exhib
it more of the consequences, which (may not
only be inferred from iiis undeniable positions,
but) are matters of general experience. It is
undoubtedly true tKit we generally employ
more ofbumauJuborin tilting our farms than
sound views of profit would direct—m some
cases (and not very rare cases) the net hire of
the-slaves, or the mterest on tho money they
couid oe sold for, would amount to double the
net product of the crjops they make. No man
in liis proper senses would employ labor in this
wasteful manner, if be had to procure it by hire
or by purchase—but liis owing the slaves in
no degree effects the estimate, or lessens the
loss he tlius incurs. The truth is,-that the ex
tent of our employment of skive labor is very
seldom directed by calculations of profit or!
loss, or regulated by the demands of the farm.
We generally hold the slaves that have been
derived from inheritance or other sources, un

never by a proper consideration ol how many

quire. According to chance, to the necessi
ties, and to the feelings of the farmer, and not
according to any sound or mature estimate of
the stock .wanted for his farm, the amount of
his slave labor is regulated—and win n.-ver the
proportion is very different from what a prop
er estimate would direct, there can be no doubt
tiiat the farming operations so conducted must
lio subject to certain and heavy loss.]

A DAY
IX Tin: LIFE OF JEUEMIAU BRAUSlIAIV.
One morning in the moutlrof June, -a hiie sea
ted at my window perusing a newspaper, an old
man whose appearance indicated tho most abject
poverty, walked up to roe, leading a pony witli a
rope bridle. Before reaching me. my attention
was coiled to liis apparent conversation with
someoue^ but looking around and perceiving
that uo one was within talking distance, 1 im.v
gineJ Ahat.lie had been meditating upon some
pleasing subject, and become excited to such a
degree that be could not restrain the expression
of liis reflections. My mind was strengthened m
this conclusion by the force ’&■ power with which
he gave uitcraiice to bis words. I pun approach

farther, I must acquaint uiy reader with several
facts intimately connected with tho sequel.
The old mail whose u .-uno I learned to he Jer

Macon, in the direction of ( liuton. He had a
wife and three children: and his pony constitu

had made all the corn upou wl.uh Jerry and hh
family lived, it was tint seldom that lie tasted the
delicious gram,—.never, indeed, but when Jerry
inteuucd a journey to tow e; so that from long
custom die pony always knew when he had to
travel instead ift plough. This morning Jerry
gave him two ftill quarts—iiis load of spring veg
etables being heavier than usual. \ll thins*
being prepared, he sot out upon his j: uniey; &•

and a jump, over into West Macon, where iic ■
