capital of the Bank of the U. States, render 1t the natural rallying point of the country for the resumption of specie payments. It seem cd wiser, therefore, not to waste its strength in a struggle which might be doubtful, while the Executive persevered in its present poll cy, but to husband all it's resources, so as to profit by the first favorable moment, 10 take the lead in the early resumption ol speGI1 payments. Accordingly the Bank ot the O' States assumes that position. From thlS iilo- ment its efforts will be to keep itself stroh9' and to make itself stronger-always prepar- ed and always anxious to assist Ill recallihg the currency and the exchanges ot the coun- trv to the point from which they nave ialleil' If will cooperate cordially and zealously with the government, with the government banks. with all the other banks, and with any other influences which can aid in that object.
 In the meantime, two great duties deVolVe on the banks and the country.
 The first regards foreign nations-thc sec- ond our own. We owe debt to foreigners, by no means large for our resources, but dis propol.ioncd to our present means ot pay ment. We must take care that thls late measure shall not seem to be an effort to avoid the payment of our honest debts to them, We have worn, and Gi.ten, and drunk, the produce of their industry-tUo much of all, perhaps, but that is our fault, not theirs We may take less hereafter, but the country is dishonoured unless we discharge that debt to the uttermost farthing.
 The second duty is to ourselves. we should bear constantly i'll mind, that the step which has been taken is excusable only on the ground of an overruling necessity. We must not make the remedy itself a disease.- It must not be the pretext of extravagant loans or issues. These are already sutti- ciently inflated, and if we have voluntarily removed the most familiar and established check upon all issues-their immediate con- vertibility into coin-it is our duty to substi- ute some effectual restraints, which may en- able us to restore the currency without delay or difficulty to a safe and wholesome condi- tion. The result of the wtole is, that great disaster has befallen the country. Its eXls- tence thus far is only misfortune, its contin- uance will be reproach, from which all true men must rally to save her. We must try to render it as short as possible, waiting patient ly and calmly for the action of the govern ment and in the mean time diminishing its dangers by great prudence and forbearance. For myself, you know how zealously have labored to avert this misfortune. With not less anxiety shall now strive to repair it.
 With great respect and regard, yours M

Early Co1n.-lTr. Holmes II was pleas ed to see an extract from the Poughkeepsie Eagle, respecting an early variety of corn, denomnated Canada Corn. Long since have been convinced that we Yankees are not well enough satisfied with reasonable profits and gains. This is evident from the variety oi corn generally planted in Maine and some other ot the Northern States. Although it may bc allowed that in some very favorable seasons which are exempt from early frosts, more corn may be produced to the acre, from the large variety which is generally planted, still it is an unsafe privateering b1- siness. This know from actual experiment. For several years past I have planted small rariety, as we call it, which, ifplanted on the first of June, on land suitably prepared, and
Litchfield enquirer., 1837-05-25

taken care of, does not, and has not failed 10 get ripe and sound, as unfavorable as has been the last three or four years-while my neighbors' crops have been ruined by frosts. They, however, go on, Yankee like, in hope that the next season will be favorable, and they continue their large variety, not remem- bering that we are far north and that Maize will not grow without heat, and that large variety requires much of it. Try small or early variety and oblige yourselves, broth CT Farmers.-Maine Farmer.
 The DahIid.-As this is the season when this beautiful Mexican should be taken from its winter quarters and transplanted, we will remind our readers that, if they expect fine flowers, they must be liberal in manuring the places in which they deposit their roots. A moist, loamy soil is best adapted to their suc- cessful culture; but by filling up the hole around them with fat compost, in which virgin mould, spent ashes and well rotted stable manure, are properly commingled, they may be raised any where, open and eX- posed to the sun and air. Care, however, must be taken to keep the plants we'll watered on every occurrence of dry weather; for stalks of succulence and ]uxuriant growth are necessarily deep drinkers, and must have their wants artificially if not naturally sup piled. And here let us remark, that those who desire to have them in their greatest perfection, should most assuredly give them watering at least once week with soap suds.- Yankee Farmer.

 HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA. Very late from the Army-SanTender of Ose- ola and PhHip.-We are indebted to Major Andrews and Lieut.. Herbert, U. S. army, from Black Creek, which place they left on
 Tuesday last, and who arrived here yester-
 day in the steam packet Georgia, from
 Charleston, for the following intelligence:
 Oseola and Philip, with about 800 warriors, came into Fort Mellon day or two previous to their departure. There were between 250O and $500 Indians encamped within the vi- cinity of Fort Mellon, and it is presumed that by this time they have arrived at Tampa Bay. The whole body of Indians would probably embark from Tampa Bay about the last of this month for Arkansas: boats were in readiness to convey them thence.
 We also learn that recent events have con- firmed the opinion heretofore entertained, that Powell had exercised great influence in the nation; his superior intelligence and sh,sS1 ness has given him an influence which .*ary chiefs could not retain over .,e haalen, and this jealousy of his pow -kt,r tysaf. aincy the true cause for assailing &S,c,,sa yssl nh He has been averse to mur- Rbered. nI,a woand children, and prisoners I notf, ' Gr heind has lost his popularity in { the nfta had be consequence of it.
