From the Pennsylvania Gazette.
Messieurs Hall and Sellers,
I OBSERVE with great pleasure in your paper of last week, an account of the Sca city Root, and rejoice heartily in the prospect of its being cultivated in our country. It will save a great deal of that labor which is spent in raising grain for cattle, and will be a wholesome and agreeable addition to our kitchen vegetables. An acre of ground employed in the cultivation of the scarcity root will yield five times as much in food and profit as an acre of Indian corn or oats in common land, and double that quantity, if the earth be well manured, and prepared for it. In the preface by Dr. Lettson to the publication upon the subject of this excellent vegetable, I find the following very extraordinary account of its prodigious increase. "Mr. D. near Swaffham, Norfolk, received some seeds of the scarcity root from Sir Richard Jebb, Baronet, which he sowed in light rich earth, in a drill, at the end of April last. When the plants had acquired the thickness of a quill, some were transplanted, and others left in the seed bed. On taking up the latter on the first of November, after having had their leaves several times previously plucked during the summer, a single root, with a moderate top, measured three feet two inches in length and twenty-seven inches in circumference, and weighed twenty four pounds with the top, and twenty one pounds without. Those roots which had been transplanted acquired only about half the size. Mr. D. is of opinion, that sowing after the manner of turnips in well ploughed earth, manured as for turnips, and hoed to 18 inches apart, with their leaves untouched, would prove the best mode of culture. From this astonishing instance of vegetation, we may calculate that upwards of 50 pounds weight of provision has been produced in about half a yard of soil."
A G R I C O L A.
ANECDOLE of a Savage DOG.
[Translated from Mr. St. JOHN's American Farmer's Letters.]
IN the county of Ulster, neighbourhood of Wawasing, lived a man with whom I was very intimate; his name was Le Ferre; he was the grandson of a Frenchman, who at the repeal of the edict of Nantes, was with many others obliged to fly his country. He possessed the last plantation of the valley near the blue mountains (which crosses a part of the state of New-York) an enormous chain, which always will be, as it is at present, an asylum for deer. He had nothing to fear in time of war, from the incursions of the inhabitants of those savage countries—for he knew them all, and was very well beloved by them. A pretty fall of water had given him the idea of building a gristmill there, which was the best of the valley—the same current turned also a saw-mill, to which he carried, upon the winter's snow, the trees that he drew from the neighbouring mountains. This useful stream was then diverted in a manner common enough in this country, to water the fields in its vicinity—and it caused the hay to grow there more abundantly, and the best I ever saw.—Half a mile from his door ran the river Elopus, upon the borders of which, nature has fixed the richest soil that I know in America—so well known under the name of Terre Basse [low land] It is in that valley that fertility itself has taken its abode—it is there, where every barn becomes a temple of Ceres.
Le Ferre had eleven children (a circumstance not extraordinary in this country)—The oldest boys, like their father, were skillful hunters. Who could live so near forests without instinctively knowing how to go thither, and take the game which they contain? It is thus, that those who live upon the bands of the sea become sailors.—every thing with man is local, his virtues and his vices, his tastes, and even his prejudices—there is nothing but sound morality and virtue which is in every country.
He lived with the produce of his land and his mill, happy and tranquil. One of his sons was minister of Wawasing, which was inhabited by none but Dutchmen, descended from the first settlers of Newamstel, at present New-York.
Being one day at the house of this farmer, the youngest of his children disappeared about ten o'clock in the morning—he was four years old: the family, alarmed, sought for him in the river, and in the fields, but in vain!—The frightened parents sent for the neighbours; we went into the woods, and searched them with the most scrupulous attention: a thousand times we called him, but received no other answer than those of savage echoes. We divided into many parties; night came on without our being able to flatter ourselves with any hope—The parents, in despair, refused to return to the house; their terror was without cessation increased by the knowledge they had of the activity and rage of the wild cats, against which men cannot always defend themselves. They painted to themselves an hungry wolf devouring the child of their bosom, and spilling upon the ground the blood of their beloved infant. What a dark and melancholy night! It seemed to me to last a month. As soon as the day appeared, each one of us began to seek again, but as unsuccessful as the preceding day: we were all in the greatest distress and knew not what to do.—Happily a savage, loaded with furs, coming from the village of Anaguaga (upon the eastern branch of the river Suquehan-nah) went to the house of this planter, with the design of reposing himself there. He was surprised to find nobody at home but an old black woman, who had been detained by her infirmities. Where is my brother? demanded the savage of her. Alas! said she, he has lost his little Derick, and all the neighbourhood is employed in seeking for him in the woods.—It was then three o'clock in the afternoon.—"Sound the trumpet, endeavour to recal your master; I will find his little child."
As soon as the father was returned, the savage asked of him the shoes and stockings that little Derick had last worn: he commanded his dog to smell of them; taking then the house for a centre, he described a semicircle of a quarter of a mile, ordering his dog to smell the ground every where as he conducted him. They had not gone far, before the sagacious animal began to bay. That happy sound darted immediately into the hearts of the distressed parents some feeble rays of hope. The dog followed the track, and still baying; we ran after him with all our might, but soon lost sight of him in the thickness of the woods. Half of an hour afterwards, we saw him returning; the countenance of the dog was visibly changed; the air of joy was painted in it; I was sure that he had found the child—but, was he dead or alive? What a cruel alternative was this for those poor parents, as also for the rest of the company! The savage followed his dog, who did not fail to conduct him to the foot of a great tree, where the child was lying in a state of weakness, approaching death. He took him tenderly into his arms, and made haste to carry him towards the company, who had not been able to proceed with the same swiftness. Happily the father and mother were in some manner prepared to receive their child; for more than a quarter of an hour they had begun to form some hopes; a weak light had penetrated into their hearts when they heard the first accents of the savage dog. They ran to meet their brother from whom they received their dear Derick with an ecstasy and agitation that I cannot describe to you—Ah! my friend, this scene was pretty and striking to contemplate; spontaneous laughter, sweet tears, ejaculations of gratitude, eyes lifted towards heaven, monosyllables of parental joy, &c. exhibited themselves under a thousand different forms, too sublime for my feeble pencil.

H A L I F A X, April 10.
THURSDAY morning last, the Brisk sloop of war, Capt. Buller, arrived here from her winter station, at Passamaquoddy. Captain Buller has had the misfortune to lose two of his officers, since his departure from this port: a Mr. Coming and Mr. Remington.—On Tuesday, the 5th of February last, (the ship then lying at Campobello) those two gentlemen went into the woods for the purpose of shooting; the day was remarkably cold, and they proceeded so far, that night overtook them before they could return; the severity of the weather increased with the decline of the sun, and at length became so intense, that Coming, benumbed and exhausted, threw himself on the ground, unable to proceed. Remington, thus deprived of his companion, still however exerted himself, in hopes of gaining the shore; he walked two miles farther, but there pierced with cold and overcome with fatigue, he sunk to the ground and perished.
Their bodies were not discovered (notwithstanding the most diligent search was made) until five days after, when they were taken up and interred with the proper naval etiquette.
Friday evening last arrived here from Dominica, the Schooner Grace, Capt. Ellis, with rum and sugar.
On Saturday, Enos Gibbs, and David Lindsey, two soldiers of the 57th regiment, were tried for taking sundry goods out of the shop of Andrew Reynolds. Gibbs was convicted, but the proofs not being fully sufficient to convict Lindsey he was acquitted and discharged.

PHILADELPHIA, April 30.
From the Kentucky Gazette of April 4.
It is with the most sensible concern we announce to the public, the capture of three boats, on the Ohio, near the Big Miami, by the savages. Familiarized as we have been for several weeks past, to murder and robbery, at almost every point of our frontiers, the sympathy of all ranks has been excited in an extraordinary degree, by this deeply affecting catastrophe: among the passengers in these boats, it is with great regret we mention Samuel Purviance, Esq. of Baltimore-town, Mr. Ridout, of Maryland, Mons. Ragaut, and two other French gentlemen, one a mineralist, the other a botanist, destined to explore the natural products of this country, a Mr. Pierce, of Maryland, and a Mr. Ferguson, a trader; besides these gentlemen, there was a Mr. Grey Garland Simmons, five other men, and a negro woman. The three French gentlemen, and Mr. Pierce, who alone occupied one boat, were attacked on the 26th ult. from circumstances we are authorised to conclude, that the other boats were taken on the 21st, as they passed Limestone on the 19th. The savages had in their possession a flag, in which eight or ten of them gave chase to the French gentlemen, who finding they could not escape, determined to present a white handkerchief, with other demonstrations of friendship, and surrender without resistance: for this purpose, Mr. Ragaut took post at the stern of the boat, and when the savages had approached very near, he offered his hand, and in return received the barbarian's tomahawk; at the same instant the botanist was shot dead, and the mineralist badly wounded; the boat at this time had drifted near the shore, Mr. Pierce and the surviving French gentleman jumped overboard, and the current being rapid, the savages past them, whilst they were butchering and plundering Mr. Ragaut, and the other victim. They with difficulty gained the shore, and under cover of the night, made a circuit, and fell in with the river below the savages, where they were, the next day, taken up by a boat, and conveyed to the rapids the day after. These are all the circumstances we have been able to collect on this melancholy occasion. There remains no doubt that the two boats first mentioned have been captured, as one of them has been taken up at the Rapids, and the other was seen in possession of the savages, but the fate of the captives is uncertain.—Two boats, a few hours in front of Mr. Ragaut, under the direction of captain Ballard Smith and Mr. Hinds, were attacked at the same place from the shore, but they returned the fire and escaped without further injury than two horses wounded; and it is said two Indians were killed in the attack.

From WOODFALL'S LONDON ADVERTISER of March 11. By the Antelope Packet.
TEMESWAR, and HUNGARY, Feb. 11.
A LETTER from Pakray, in Sclavonia, of the 10th mentions, that on the day preceding, the Turkish fortress of Gradisca, in Berbia, was summoned to surrender; but the commander having refused, and fired upon our troops, the latter made an attack with so much fury, as to dismount their batteries, and render their guns useless—a great number of the houses were reduced to ashes; and this day the fortress surrendered. Near Kobaty we took from the Turks three ships, of which two were laden with grain, and the third with ammunition. The letter adds, that Dubetic and Novi surrendered without resistance.
Florence, Feb. 15. Wednesday last arrived here from Rome, Lord Hervey, in quality of minister from Great Britain to the court of his Royal Highness the Grand Duke, our Sovereign.
Hague, March 5. Letters from Brest, Rochfort, and L'Orient, advise, that orders are received from Versailles, to stop the building of line of battle and other ships of war in those three ports. There cannot be a stronger proof, that peace is not likely to be interrupted, and that the politicians, who persevere in predicting an approaching war, will not find their prophecies verified.
Extract of a letter from Paris, Feb. 25.
"A very scandalous pamphlet, under the name of "Arrete des Provencaux," has been severely forbidden by the police. In it nothing less is proposed to the French nation, then to imitate the United Provinces of America."
Extract of a letter from Warsaw, Feb. 6.
"The king has summoned the assembly of the diet for the 27th of next month, when the matter of granting free permission for the imperial troops to have passage through the Polish dominions, will be proposed. It is feared, however, that much heat and debate will be occasioned, it not seeming at all accordant with the general opinions, that Poland should become a party in the present dispute between Russia and the Ottoman Porte."
By these papers we also find, that the birth of the Prince Stadholder was never so magnificently celebrated as, if we may judge from the preparations, was his last anniversary.
Nothing very material can be selected from those papers, more than is above recited. They insist on it, however, that matters are now growing very serious between the Turks and their imperial adversaries, and that the approaching season threatens to be very bloody, whatever consequences may ensue. "When the grand seignior's manifesto appears, we suppose it will contain some very severe pointed strictures upon the emperor's declaration of war," says a paragraphist.

From the Maryland Gazette.
In CONVENTION, April 25, 1788.
The proposed plan of federal government for the United States was read the first time, and thereupon
Resolved, That this convention will not enter into any resolution upon any particular part of the proposed plan of federal government for the United States, but that the whole thereof shall be read through a second time, after which the subject may be fully debated and considered, and then the president shall put the question. That this convention do assent to, and ratify the same constitution; on which question the yeas and nays shall be taken.
By order, W. HARWOOD, cl. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Baltimore, dated April 24.
"Our convention is now convened at Annapolis. They made a house the very first day, and chose Mr. Plater for president. The question was put, whether they should take up the consideration of the new constitution, and argue it by paragraphs, or in toto as it stood. It was determined by a great majority, to take it up as it stood, for it would only delay time to enter into long debates about it. They also determined that no member should speak more than twice to any point, and at each time not more than half an hour, which defeats Chace, Martin, Paca and Mercer, in their plan of anti-federal measures."
"There is not a doubt but the new constitution will be adopted in this state, and I believe the convention will rise in a very few days. It is said they mean to bring on the question very soon.

As you appear to be one of the unbelieving race, Christianity induces me to lay before you the following piece of intelligence from Maryland, hoping it will have a happy tendency to ease your agitated mind from doubt, sooth your feelings, prevent astonishment, and convince you "that a great number of the members in that convention are" not "strongly opposed to the new constitution, in its present form."

The Society established in the city of Philadelphia, for promoting the abolition of slavery, having considered the situation of their unfortunate countrymen, now prisoners in some of the states of Barbary, and conceiving it to be within the design of the institution to extend their attention to every species of slavery, have appointed a committee to obtain information on this subject, in order to devise some practicable means of affording relief to their distressed brethren. The committee therefore take this public method of requesting intelligence from the owners of captured vessels, the friends and relations of the captives, or from foreigners or other persons, who may possess a knowledge of the particular situation of the Americans, who have been captured, or any circumstantial account of the mode of relief adopted by nations not in treaty with those states.

AN ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF LETTERS
FROM THE
FEDERAL FARMER
TO THE
REPUBLICAN,
Leading to a fair examination of the system of government, proposed by the late convention, and to several essential and necessary alterations in it; and calculated to illustrate and support the principles and positions laid down in the preceding letters.
The former letters, published under the signature of the Federal Farmer, have undergone several impressions in the different states, and several thousands of them have been sold. They are admitted, by candid men of both parties, to be written with a spirit of moderation and candour.
A number of principles are laid down in them, highly interesting to the people of America, which ought to be more fully illustrated, than the bounds which the author set to himself, in the former letters, would permit.
The design of these additional letters, is, more fully to explain and enforce the positions laid down in the former. The author does not aim to foment the passions; his appeal is to the reason of his readers. He wishes every man to examine for himself, and form his own opinion on the merits of the question.
There are very few dispassionate men, who do not wish to see amendments made to this system. The great drift of these additional letters, is, to point out what these amendments ought to be, and to adduce arguments to support them.
It is a matter of small importance, whether these amendments precede or succeed the adoption of the constitution, so that they be made.
It is hoped, therefore, that gentlemen who are sincere in declaring that they wish for amendments, will unite in turning their attention to the subject, that they may be prepared to accede to such as are proper.—To those who are thus disposed, this publication is recommended.

E P I G R A M, On passing under the stern of the Gorgon 44 gun ship lying at Portsmouth. TERRIFICK name! who'll dare come near thee, Friends, as well as foes, must fear thee; Gorgon, thy enemies will cry, And from thy winged bullets fly; While friends thy name will backward read, And from thy thirsty bark recede; For thus exclaims each wag-gish dog, I'll board no ship, where there's no grog!

New Stage Line.
THE frequent neglect of business, by some of the proprietors of the former line of stages, has compelled the subscribers, who were concerned, to withdraw themselves, and to join in establishing a new line. By strict attention to their business—by keeping their coaches, and horses in good order—and by employing none but sober drivers, they hope to merit the favors of the public.
The stage will leave Paules-Hook , every afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Saturdays excepted; the stage boats also ply every day from White-Hall to Elizabeth Town Point . From Mr. Crane's , at Elizabeth-Town Point , the stage will set out every morning (except Sunday) and run through Bridge town in Raway , Woodbridge , New-Brunswick , Princeton , Trenton and Bristol to the Indian-Queen in Fourth-street , Philadelphia , in one day, for the moderate price of THREE HARD DOLLARS for each passenger, with the allowance of 14wt of baggage; and all way passengers at FOUR PENCE per mile.
One hundred and fifty weight baggage the same price as a passenger, viz. Four Pence per Mile. No racing allowed in this line.
