Of this, than by describing a scene which

been dining on board Of her, and was
finishing well served dinner with cigar,
coffee and conversation, under the top
gallant forecastle; when my attention
was attracted by group of blue jackets
about the starboard gangway, many OF
them in tears. Struck by the unwonted
spectacle Of a crying sailor, | threw a
way my scgar, and went aft. There
was draft of men going away, some
sick and disabled, some whose terms OF
services was about expiring, and who
were to be transferred to another ship,
then preparing to return home. They
were going slowly and Reluctantly ove'
the side, assisted by their messmates
who were passing along their bags ant
hammocks, aed pausing to say parting
word to each Of their officers; there wa.
hearty shake Of the hand, the ferven
Godspeed, with wishes Of fair weathe
and leading breezes; and then the hon

the ports, cncountering their returnn.

the estranged home to which they wer

NEWPORT,

CHOLERA. Much alarm was excited
among our citizens yesterday, in conse-
quence ofthe appearance of two cases
(ladies) Of aggravated cholera morbus, in
this town, both of which,we regret to state,
proved fatal. The facts are briefly these.
The sloop Hero, Capt. Read, from New
York, after remaining at quarantine here
for eight days, was permitted to land her
passengers yesterday morning, all of
whom, no doubts were entertained,
were free from any sickness whatever.-
1t appears, however, as has since been
ascertained, that the persons deceased,
had for some days previous to their leav-
ingthe sloop, been laboring under slight
affection Of the bowels, and on Tuesday
at late hour in the afternoon, partools
very freely of cold green peas, which
were but little more than half cooked
The inevitable consequence Of this was
they were seized in the night, with every
symptom Of cholera morbus; and from
criminal desire to conceal their sickness.
until they could get on shore, passed
themselves off with great effort, as be
ing in good health. They were landed
at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and were
taken in hack to the house Of Mr.. Bur
ges Horswell, a relation Of one Of them
below the Hay Scales, in spring-strcet
and from the time they we're first scizct
to the moment medical advice was had
f,relre hours had actually intervened.- -
DR.. Dunn, the physician called, founc
them both in collapsed state. The
physicians, generally, visited them, bu
all their efforts to save them proved una
.vsiling. Miss Horswell died about
o'clock p. m. and Miss Peckham died u

/ o'clock, this morning. Miss Horswell
was the daughter of Mr.. Nathaniel Hors-
well, of Utica, N. Y, and Miss Peck
ham was the daughter of MIR. Joshua
Peckham of this place, both Of whom had
recently been visiting their friends in
Utica and elsewhere.
In addition to tho above particu ulars,
we are informed by the passengers who
came in the Hero, that the manner of
living of those females during their stay
on board was general subject ofremark.
They came on board the sloop while
loading in New York, and remained in
her state rooms (seldom going OH deck
until she was ready to sail, a period Of
several days, and after her arrival here
still preferred to remain on board the
sloop, which was very closely slowed
with freight, rather than to accompany
the rest Of the passengers to Rose Island,
subsisting during the whole quarantine
upon crackers, cheese and cake, up to
the time Of eating so voraciously, of the
cold and half cooked peas--and drink
ing, we are informed, the water which
had been brought for the supply Of the
sloop during the passage.
The physicians we are assured, al.
though the final termination Of these
cases was very analogous to the de-
scfiptions given of The malignant cholera
express their entire conviction that hat
the complaint been taken in its early
stages, the lives these imprudent, bu
unfortunate females, might have beer
easily saved. We hope our inhabitants
as well as those on the island, will no
be operated upon by any unnecessar,
ars;-predisposing causes, SO distinc
and aggravated in their character a
those which produced death in the above
cases, are enough to dissipate all appre
tensions in relation to the r.'ure of tn,
complaint.
1t is part Of the duty we owe TO OIL
readers, and the community at large, t.
place before them as nearly IN its tru'
light as possible, every thing of impor
tance connected with subject of sucl
exciting interest-and the public ma,
rest assured, that as long as we are per
mitted by HIM whose right it is to reign
to remain at our post in the fulfil
ment Of our duty, we shall not suppress
any facts respecting the disease calle'
cholera, that may come to our know
ledge.

been published in the New York papers
respecting the packet ship Albany which
lately pat in here in distress, all of which
are wide apart Of the facts in the case,
and calculated to impress the reader with
the most unfriendly feelings towards the
authorities and inhabitants of this place.
We had right to expect better things
from some Of the corps editorial in New
York, and we have yet to learn what ul-
innate object they had in view by so
gross representation Of the facts in
relation to the treatment which the Al
bany met with after her arrival inthis port
In our last we published correct state
ment of the assistance rendered the ship
by the citizens, SC. of this place, giving
to all their Just proportion Of credit due
for their timely services-and no more .
But to look at the accounts published in
the New-York Courier & Enquirer,
Standard, Mercantile Advertiser, Advo-
cate s. Journal, &c. SC. one would sup
pose we on this little island were the most
uncivhized and unchristain race that ev-
er existed. The Advocate g. journal says:
"On their arrival at Newport, the au-
thorties II i + U S ED ALL ASSIS-
TANCE, not even permitting. any inter-
course, alleging that the ship was from
| N.-York, all commune alton with which
place was prohibited on account Of the
cholera. The soldiers who constituted the
Gordon sanitaire, threw down their arms,
went on board the ship, and assisted in
extinguishing the fire. Holes were bor-
ed in the ship to let in the water, and
thus the fire was extinguished.
Il We have before had occasion TO no.
tice the unfriendly conduct manifested
by the authorities at Newport and Prov.
idence, in preventing the landing of pas
sengers in steamboats, from this city, IL
consequence Of the prevalence Of the
Cholera among us, but that they should
: have refused assistance to vessel in the
situation Of the Albany, really appears to
be such disregard Of the golden rule Of
"dolng unto others as you would they
should do unto YOU" that we can scarce
ly account for such course"
Every one at all acquainted with the
facts, knows that the authorities of thi.
place did not refuse assistance as aleg.
cd, and that instead Of the fires being
ex'inguished by holes having been boret
in the ship to let in the water, it was ex
! tinguished by the prompt and efIicien
interference Of our citizens who went
long side of the ship in sloops with en-
gines, and arrested its progress at th'

CULTURE OF SILK.

A gentleman who has recently returned from
AN excursion through Connecticut, states that
from his observations he is fully convinced that
the culture and manufacture of silk must become
"a staple and profitable business in New England;
the climate and soil being well adapted to the
growth Of the mulberry tree, and the genius and
enterprise OF the inhabitants equal to the task of
producing silk goods superior to the imported
Connecticut pays TO her sons a bounty of fiitv
cents per pound on all silk reeled on the improved
plan, and one dollar on every 100 mulberry trees
set out in the manner prescribed This example
OF the wooden nutmeg lady is worthy of being
followed-and we would say to her sister Massa-
chusetts, $50 thou, and do likewise
Stimulated by the encouragement received from
the State, the single town of Mansfield has, from
careful estimate, grown four tons of ran silk
this season, which, when reeled, will bring about
$4,000 dollars; and when thrown into servings
1as most Of it probably will be, in the families Of
the producers) its value will be enhanced to near
iy double that sum, say 100000! Four or five
adjoining towns have, from fair estimates, each
produced a quantity equal TO that grown in Mans
field. 1t is not doubted that another wear the
stock will be increased one third. A Connect.
cut farmer calculates that one acre Of land we'll
stocked with mulberry trees is worth forty nine
acres of the rest of his farm!

AGRICULTURAL.
From the New York Farmer.
ROTATION OF CROPS.

mat crops deterlorate when continued in the
same field successive years, is fact well known
to the observing farmer; and yet it is never sufi-
GENTLY regarded in practice The Holanders
do not permit flax to grow in the same field often
or than once in 10 IL years, upon the principle
that it requires this time to restore to the soil the
specific food required for the flax, and which had
~-h~~-t~d h., tho prnradng crop. Good
uusbandry requires, that not only two crops Of
Inc same species, but of similar character, say
wheat, rye, oats, and barley, should not succeed
each other, as these in measure exhaust the soil
OF like properties. Judge Peters laid it down as
fundamental rule, that two crops Of grain should
never be grown in succession on the same field
OUR farm crops, as regards rotation, may be d.
VIded into three classes, viz: grains, grasses and
roots, and these again subdivided and would
4et no two of any one class follow. If manure is
applied in an unfermented state to the roots and
Indian corn, which are all hoed crcps..weeds will
be destroyed, the manure incorporated with the
soil, and its advantages to the hoed crops be u
clear saving.
But the object Of penning this article is to i'm
press upon gardeners the necessity of alternating
TO insure good crops. 1t often happens that par
ticular portions of the garden assigned TO the
same vegetable for successive years; and as this
portion Of ground generally receives annua!
1i0oSAuS vi hIduuTc, Lhe o
is not so apparent. Without due reflection,
adopted this too common practice, and had my
onion quarter, beet quarter, melon quarter, &c.
which have been planted with those vegetables
almost exclusively for eight or len years. Not
wIthstanding MANFRED highly, was astonished
that my crops every year grew worse, TIL from
this very inferior quality, was led to reflect upon
the cause, and the consequence was, that be~
came convinced, that the principle of alienation
which l knew was beneficial in farm operations,
should be applied also to the garden. planted
my onions, beets, carrots, &c. on new ground,
although the former, had understood, should
always be continued on the same plat. The re-
suit of the change is, that these vegetables have
nearly quadrupled in product.
Grisenthwaite maintains that the same crop
may be taken successfully from one field, provi
ded we know the specific food which such crop
requires, and supply it in sufficient quantity an
nually. He says the specific food of wheat is
.surphate Of lime, and animal matters that afford
nitrogen; that of barley, common nitre (saltpetre)
that of sanfoin, clover, &c, gypsum, &c. Blu,
until we become 50 learned in chemistry as to
know The specific food which each requires, it will
be discreet to pursue the course which nature
suggests, that OF attenuation.

KEEPING SHEEP.

Slowed three bushels Of oats to cure before they
are quite ripe, for my sheep; this have found
to be the cheapest and best method to winter
sheep, of the many ways that have tried. The
sheep will eat it all clean, straw and all, and with
1t get grain enough, (and that being green, be
lieve is far better than rpe) to keep them in good
condition. never had disempered sheep thai
was kept in this way. Two good sheaves per
day, will last twenty sheep through the winter;
some days three sheaves, and some but one, viz:
When they get to the ground; have tried it,
and do know. Now, say five months, $50 DAYS,
300 sheaves, that would make twelve bushels to
the hundred; would be thirty-six bushels of oats,
and the straw If any Of your correspondents
can do better, and with less expense, should be
glad to know it. With sheep-shed and manager
which intend to build after the direction given
by celebrated manufacturer and wool grover
1 think shall be able to let each sheep have its
share without being trodden down. have no
seen the plan of the shed and manager in any work
on the raising or keeping sheep. Before winter
/ will try to give it on paper for the farmer.
