NEW INVENTED TEAM BOAT,

We are highly gratiGed in viewing the
successful operation ola newly improved
team boat, invented by Mr.. Barnabas
Langdon; the machinery is.on SO simple
plan, that the whole expense will not
exceed 400 dollars, and requires but two
horses to propel the boat. She crossed
the river which is nearly 500 yards in
at the upper ferry, in less than
three and half minutes; after which
she assembled the river in front of this
city, against strong current, IN fine
style, amid the acclamations OF a large
concourse OF spectators. We sincerely
wish this inscnius self taught mechanic
ample remuneration for all his labors

potatoes, amounting to the almost In
credible quantity of 500 bushels per
acre! And he gives it as his opinion,
that more general use of the spade
would have the most beneficial effect,
not only upon the agricultural laborers
themselves, but on their employers also !;
for, though the farmer might not be able
to find laborers to cultivate large guam
titles of land in this way, he might at
least cultivate sufficient to employ his
quota of the laborers of his parish, and
at once eXonerate the poor rates, and be
himself amply repaid

FROM THE NATIONAL 1NrrL11aENcrn.

.Agriculture.--ln an English newspa-
per Of February last, we find the follow
ing article. 1t is one of the most i'm
pressive facts to establish the advantages
OF improved cultivation of the soil, that
we have ever read, if the fact is to be
credited, ard we have no reason to dis
believe it more than any other, derived
from the same source, respecting i'm
provements in the arts, sciences, &c.
We do not copy this under the impress
sion that this mode of cultivation can
ever be employed otherwise than ex-
perimentally, but to shew what can be
accomplished by system and ministry.
Here are an hundred and MirtyJour
bushels of wheat raised from an acre
of ground The highest product we
have ever heard Of being realized in this
country, on the most fertile land, was fiity
bushels. The average crop, through
out the Union is probably not more
than ten bushels, if SO much; in Eng
land, it is rated according to the follow
ing article, at more than thirty, by the
ordinary mode of cultivation. The diff
ference in these averages is again owing
to the differences in the modes OF cul-
ture.
From an English PAPER.
Great CrohS.--Mr. Falla gives an
instance of land cultivated by the spade,
and the wheat planted in lines by a dib-
BILE, with plants previously raised in a
seed bed, producing the enormous re-
turn of seventeen quarters of wheat to
the acre! The average produce in the
ordinary mode of cultivation, is not more
than four quarters; so that the extra ex-
pense is more than repaid four fold.--
The expense Of digging an acre of ordi-
nary land, at nurser price, he states to be
/ SIS. and this, he adds, is an operation
worth two ploughings; and, besides,
by planting the wheat there is great
saving in seed. In the usual mode OF
broad cast it requires two bushels to the
acre; but, in planting, one peck is sufil-
cient. Mr.. +. also states, that by spade
! husbaadry he has produced q crop OF

Pank Of Hudson--Thc Northern
Wing, printed at Hudson, says that this
bank no longer redeems its paper in
specie, or the bills of other banks.
fthe writer's in some ofthe southern papers,
who are recomlne nding suspension OF specie
payments, and more liberal issue of bank
bills, would shew how this notable scheme is to
promote the local interests of those places
where it is adopted, their laboYs would be
turned to some purpose. We can venture to
assure them, with entire confidence, that in
this CITY there will be 10 suspension of specie
payments, although every state bank south of
us, should fail. All debts, therefore, due to
this city, must be paid in money current here
all debts which are due from it, can be paid in
the money current where we owe it III this
case, who will be the gamer The Bank of the
United States, and the banks of this city, can
furnish . currency redeemable in specie for
the whole nation, and they will do 1t though
all the other banks fail the necessity OF such
currency for the payment of taxes will ensure
its wide diffusion the debtors to government
| must procure it. The fall of prices, which is
the real cause of the public clamoT, is not owing
to the want of money, as IS commonly, though
enormously supposed, but to tie want OF a
market The demand Of consumers can alone
raise the value OF produce; the medium OF
| purchasing il is abundant, If we had but mar
ket to carry it to. The want Of such a market
IS the only evil; and the only cure for this evil
is to buy no more of foreign countries than we
can sell to them. To attempt to raise prices
by increasing the circulating medium, is only
to make the same quantity of produce pass for
greater nominal amount in paper: bank bills
/ viii fall, if not redeemed; but property will
not rise Time and the laws of trade will re-
store things to an equilibrium, if empirical le-
gisatures do not rsshly interfere TO interrupt
| the natural course OF events.

there is no doubt. They had, within a

Osages; and, in taking them home, they
killed four men, and wounded several
more. This mode ofprocedure is look
ed upon by the Usage nation as war
measure, and justly. There are num-
Der of the more northern Indians who are
urging the Osages to war, and offer them
assistance, &c. 1t is said that major
Bradford, ofthe rife regiment, who COM
mands at Fort Smith, sent word to them,
if there was a war to be carried on, he
must have hand in it, and should sus-
pend hostilities until they heard from
him. He was to hold council with
