with clover and grass seeds, and the en-
suing crops Of both hay and grass prov
ed infinitely finer than those before the
ground was broken up.
Another piece Of land was cropped
for three successive years in the same
manner as the first, to which it was SINH
lar in every respect of soil, aspect and
previous management, but in which the
stubble was pioughcd in instead of being
burned the produce of each crop on it
was much inferior to that OF the first eX-
pertinent, and the weeds increased so
greatly, that on laying it down to grass,
they overpowcred the grass seeds so
much that it was necessary to ie-snw it |;
and ever after, while Mr.. Curtis held it,
the grass and hay produced were full Of
weeds and consequently were inferior
both in value and quantity to those Of the
otherfield, on which The stubble had been
burned.
In burning stubble the danger which
is to be apprehended from the spread
ing ofthe flames, may perhaps be obviat-
ed by tracing furrow round the field,
and setting fire to the stubble on the in
ner edge of the furrow.

FULLERS' EARTH.

fOl-LERo Ia II IL.
The Wonlen Maaufactories OF this
country are suffering for fullsrs' earth of
good quali'y.-Any person having bed
OF it on his farm, may calculate on its
being Of more value than a mine of Ell
Their iron or coppsr. The presence Of a
large portion ofsilecious earth is the pre-
vailing character Of this mineral.
1t is classed by Thompson as belong
ing to the soap stone family, and it should
be sought for in the neighborhood Of
soap stone rocks, or in valleys contigu-
Gus to mountains in which silecious rocks
abound. When dry it should be very
soft and slippery like hard soap and
when thrown into water, it should fall
into fine mass resembling the appear
ance of curds. If this moist pe:cipi-
tate will wash grease out Of woollens,
and has no sensible grit, when rubbed
between the fingers, it must approximate
towards fullers' earth, and would be
well worth trial on large scale. 81

wholly On the latter. Land may be

settlements it may be worth from 8 to 4

tremely low, Indian corn was sold last

dollars per cwt. pork at Q and % dollars.
Great quantities of the two latter articles
were taken to New-Orleans, where they

BILE that prices at home will be advanced
the ensuing season. We have CRATE
ful soil, which supplies our chief wants /;

be the case, trust we shall be prepared
to avail ourselves of them.

COLONEL MONROE.

The following anecdote OF this disiin
guished Patriot and Statesman, is related
in note to 6 an Grafton, delivered at The
request OF the Frank liz Dialeiic Society
of Georgetown, on the 4th of July, 1921
by Mr.. William M. Steuart"
Ii is fact known but 10 few, thai
short time previous to the attack of the
British upon New-Orleans, when every
exertion was making to provide the
brave troops called to its defence with the
necessary munitions and provisions
bills on the Government by the western
contractors, for near 100000 were pro.
tested.
The Cashier of the Bank OF --,
called upon Mr.. Monroe, then Secretary
of War, and advised him of the necessity
OF Immediately returning them. The
Secretary entreated, that they might be
detained few days, as the evidence oil
their non-payment would be productive
of .he most ruinous consequences bu,
the cashier was inexorable, as in the
event Of disappointment, he would be
ruined, and his bank would be made
answerable. Most mer would have
ceased here; and believed they had Of.

Monroe ! with tears in his eyes, Go use
the words of the cashier,) he beseechet
him, in the name of his country, TO retair
the bills few days; and he pledged his
honor, his personal credit, and his pro-
perry, as james Monroe, that the bills
should be paid. The pledge was accept
ed, and the western banks Immediately
advised to charge the Bank d
with the amount. What the cashle.
would not do for the Secretary Of Mar
he did for James Monroe for he fell
confident there was no danger in trusting
to the word vf an honest man.
The pledge was duly redeemed, and
by this act oil public virtue. the credit Of
government was reinstated--the exer.
tons of the contractors were redoubled
and the brave freemen Of the West, be-
ing provided with munitions ofwar, were
enabled TO reach New-O rleans in time to
repel the bloody invaders Of their coun-
try, and gain for themselves an immor-
tally Of fame"

BURNING OF STUMBLE.

Mr.. w. CURTIS, of Lynn, Norfolk,
found very beneficial effects from burning
the stubble of oats, which was left eigh-
teen inches high for this purpose, on a
field broken from old pasture the same
year; he afterwards sowed wheat and
oats in succession on the same ground,
the stubble of both of which was burned
in the same manner. The ashes were
in every case ploughed in to small
depth, and the verges Of the field moved
previous to the burning, to prevent acci-
dents. After the third crop Of corn, all
of which were abundant and remarkably
free from weeds, the field was laid down

AGNNCU MURAL.
From the New-England Farmer.
r1 POTATOES

May be spoiled by bad management in
harvesting. They should be dug in cool
overcast weather, and picked Immediate
ly after the hoe, free from sun and air,
and kept moist with much dirt about
them. If dug in fine weather and they
remain exposed to the sun, the will sweat
in the summer, and be sof., waxy and
strong. BY lying to dry in the sun, they
turn green, become in degree poison
Gus, operate as physic of a pnrgative ma
ture, and, it is said, sometimes prove
fatal.
In Gathering crop of potatoes it has
been recommended to run burrows Oh
each side of the rows, and then pretty
deep one in the middle, which turns up
most Of the roots to the surface. A fork
with four prongs, with the addition Of
what may be called fulcrom, fastened
by pivot to the back part Of the handle,
may be used for raising the potatoes, not
turned by the plough.

Your graves we will weed clean. On
your ashes we will lightly tread. We
will teach our children to lisp your
names; and our fersent and persevering
prayer shall ascend on high, that the
bliss of the celestial paradise may be
your compensation. Peace be to your
spirits Even the peace of God, which
passeth all understanding Honor and
tranquility attend your declining years !!
And when We shall be gathered to your
fathers, may you richly and forever ex-
perience the salvation of the Lord"
The following fine passage is extract
ed from speech of Judge Story, in the
late Convention of Massachusetts. We
have rarely met with any thing more
beautiful; and the eulogy which it pro-
nounces on our country, and its republic
can Institutions, is as just, as the language
in which it is clothed is chaste and ele-
giant: Western CaroLnian.
SIN our county, tie highest man is
no, a6ove the people; the humblest is
not 6eioqv the people. If the rich may
be said to have additional protection,
they have not additional power. Nor
does wealth here form permanent dis
tincton of families. Those who are
wealthy to-day pass to the tomb, and
their children divide their estates. Pro-
perry thus is divided quite as fast as it
accumulates. No family can, without
its own exertions, stand erect for long
time under our statute of descents and
distributions, the only true and legti-
mate agrarian law. 1t silently and quiet
ly dissolves the mass heaped up by the
toll and diligence of long life of enter
prise and industry. Property is CONT
nually changing like the waves Of the
sea. One wave rises and is soon swal-
lowed up in the vast abyss and seen no
more. Another rises, and having reach :
ed its destined limits, falls gently away,
and is succeeded by yet another, which,
in its turn, breaks aud dies away silently
on the shore. The richest man among
us may be brought down to the bnmblest
level; and the child, with scarcely
clothes to cover his nakedness, may rise
to the highest office in our government.
And the poor man, while he rocks his in
FAINT on his knees, may justly indulge the
consolation, that If he possess talents and
virtue, there is no Office beyond the
reach OF his honorable ambition"

TO The Editors Of The National hselHgencer

Gentlemen: Every nation has its peculiar trait
of character and its worst feature, aho hardly per
ceptble, is most frequently blazoned forth as the
Isandard of its virtues We have heard Of the as
lutte Yankees, the bagatee French the proud, sat
lurnine, unfeeng English, the sanguinary Spaniard
1.-The singing Italian, Sec all OF whom are the titled
victims of national spleen. However true some OF
those indicia are, we often find signal exceptions
and perhaps, they would fail if the causes which
elicit the display of the human feelings were always
lascertained. l am urged to make this communlca-
lon, because i; tends to develop the noble feelings
of distinguished foreigner, end, at the same time
happily subserves my views in prostrating the as.
sumption of an odious criterion of people which
mention in the ncipiency of this piece. Yesterday e.

A laboring under fit. With all haste, he made t
his assistance, took him up in his arms and removed
'hm to place of safety, ran into an adjoining house
and, like the good Samaritan, brought water am
applied it TO the sick mans lips All this wa
done under the strong impulse of compassionate
feeling, and before any arrived to aid him IN tn
benevolent act. His efforts were effectual; tn
young man revived, to tell his malady, and that
,-Ihad no home. The Minister Immediately inquire
for boar dng-house and had him sent to it. I
