PLoUGHIxs IN ILLINoIs.-The following
paragr aph IS an extract from the journal Of
traveller In the west, who il seems has
handed over his notes the N. Y Spectator,
from which we copy,l for publication. -
That there are many fine plough fields IN
Illinois, we never doubted, but that ploug-
men there could ride, fiddle and plough at
the same time, is a fact, [if fact il be- en-.
tirely new TO us. We have before now
followed the plough among the stone and
roots of our own bills, and been forced 10
dance right merrily to keep the right end
uppermost; but as for accompanying the
plough with vlolln--why, II is thing
never dreamt of--in fact, such an instru.
ment could scarcely be kept safe in ten :
ere lot where the plough was going, yet THE
Susquehanna hills, rough as they are, are
preferable 10 several respects, to the much
written about and long talked Of prairies of
the great west 1.-The roll Of the prairles
plough, after the FIRST furrow, needs no
guide prepared with seat for the drl
yer, graduated by pair of wheels, and
drawn by an experienced team, II cuts
furrow Of equal thickness, and will pursue
the even tenor its way for miles without
Obstruction. A gentleman informed me
that he had seen drivers seated on their
plough, playing their violin, while The OK
en- and plough kept their regular motion,
through long burrows, apparently without
any attention from him. have often seen
them, although having sole charge of the
work, so intent upon book or newspaper,
as to appear utterly regardless Of the team
or the Implement 1t drew, except at the
commencement and termination oil fur

A lady of New York, named Mrs Ma
nv Wilhers. destroyed herself pm Sunday
the 10th inst, by cutting her throat, on
both sides. with bowie knife, with which
she wounded herself so dangerously that
she expired within minutes after commit
ting the fatal deed. She had been afflicted
with fits Of partial arrangement, and it
appears that she had also for some time
premeditated destroying herself having hid
the knife some weeks ago. Mr.. w, had
bought the instrument Of self defence. and
deposited il in drawer, but when the fits
Of insanity first attacked his wife, he lock
ed it up Tor the purpose Of putting il out
of her reach; but he could not find it. Since
then, a grl had been employed 10 attend
upon aud watch her; but sending her a'ten-
dant out of the room on Saturday aiternoon
on some,pretext she seized the opportunity
OF accomplishing her design Mrs w. was
born ia England, and was about % years
of age.

PANTHER FIGHT.-The following
statement OF an incident, remarkable,
is true, we copy from the Yazoo Miss.
Register Of the 18th ult.
The Keel Boat, in ascending the
Yazoo river last week, lay by for the
night; and about 9 O'Clock, while the
crew were seated in the cabin, large
Panther sprang in at the door and sell
zed one of the men by the shoulder.
The other three men rushed TO his as
sistance, and endeavoured, in vain, to
extricato him from the terrible jaws OF
the monster; one of them took up a
rifle and leveled 1t at the Panther but
it missed fire; he then obtained bow
lie knife and plunged it into the heart
of the beast. The poor bcatman was
most horribly mangled, having had bis
shoulder nearly torn off and his body
lacerated by the claws of the infuria-
ted monster.

We hive seen II somewhere observer
that in certain portions ofour country, par
ticulary at the north, the pursuit of agri
culture is considered secondary to that OF
the lear ned professions, or of commerce. -
That such a diseased state Of feeling may
have existed. especially where the glare
and false show that attach TO city lie
have lent their aid in fostering the error,
is probable but how an individual unin'
fluenced by the motives Of pecunlary dis
play, can for a moment regard the cui-
itvation Of the earth as inferior TO any pur-
suit, we are at a loss to discover. III the
human mind confers dignity, in proper
ton as that mind can be received from sor
did impulses and be brought into commu.
MON with the Source whence it sprung.
the more dignified is the calling and more
noble the pursuit. Let US behold the far
mer on bis little domain dependant alone
upon benefcent Providence aud his own
industry for the comforts OF life. We see
him walk forth amid bis fields contented
ard happy--to him money is vaiuetcss, for
he has nothing TO buy-galu is OF no I'M
portance as il is superfluons. lie sees
the world at distance, and hears The
roar of its turmoil, but he listens to Il as
the landsman does TO the dashing OF the
far off ocean, and thanks heaven that he
at least has nothing TO do with It's cares
and dangers At the evenings close he
he retres TO his rest, tranquil IN mind as
well as body, and thankfully resigns him
self to that sleep which exhausted nature
requires On the other hand. look at the
man engaged in traffick, or in profess
sion, always on the look out for some lit
tie advantage TO be gained or lost. Ills
moments arc made up Of anxieties. In the
morning he looks forward 10 the wants OF
the day with anxiety on the score OF his
purse or his reputation. Each moment
brings with il fresh cause for the exercise
Of his faculties, and when at length, tired
out with care, he goes to his couch, It IS
but TO act over in his dreams the painful
realities by which he has been surrounded.
Now which is the more respectable, in tia
genuine sense Of the term-he who IS the
slave Of circumstance and the subject of
other mems doings, the sport Of fortune
and at best but its bedzened puppets-or
be who in the retirement Of country HE
can view unmoved The vicissitCdes OF ma
tons. and whilst he looks abroad over his
fields and sees the rich verdure and the
ripened grain, recollects with gratitude
the good Being, that sends the rain and
the sunshine. the spring time and the har-
vest-lhat lights up the heavens with his
own msgnilicence, and decGspihe earth in
the gorgeous vestments of his glory WING
pours forth abundance among the nations
and at whose nod the valleys tremble,
and the mountains bow their heads. Our
taste is in favor ofthat respectability which
means independence.

dictments. He was then sentenced by
Judge Baldwin, TO months imprison.
ment at hard labor, and $3.50 fine and
costs, on the indictments against him
for robbing wrecked vessels at Barne-
gat. The sentence was thus lenIent,
says the Emporium" out Of respect
to the recommendation of the grand
and petit jurors--and the fact, that the
offences which originated these prose-
cutions, had been entirely suppressed.

ty of this City, 10000 White Mulberry
trees of the growth ofone year. This spe

attention in this state and elsewhere, and
promises, even if the calculations OF those
who are acquainted with the subject be
much too high, 10 be very profitable. We

QUITE A HEROINE Under this head,
the Fincastle Democrat gives an account
OF the ingenious escape of one of the coun
terfeiters, whose conviction and sentence
to ten years Imprisonment, we noticed a
few days since. Heath has made his es
cape. The Democrat relates the circum-
stance as follows: The wife OF the prison.
err was admitted by the jailor TO an inter.
view with her husband, representing that
she was about to leave this country. and
that il was the last time she expected TO
see him. After some time, the jailor re.
turned to the prisoners apartment. and
found Mrs Heath (as was supposed, } rea-
dy to take.leave of her husband-wrapped
up in cloak and her face concealed by
her bonnet. Thus attired she was suffer
ed to pass out Of the prison. all the time
sobbing aloud in the greatestapparent dis
tress. On visiting the Jail next morning in
stead of the convict, Mrs. Heath was found
neatly dressed in the clothes Of her husband
who had been permitted to pass out, in
the manner described, the night previous.
The heroine, after loud laugh, explained
TO her visiter, the secret Of her husbands
escape"

JUSTIFICATION or THE WHO'S
We record 1t as a special wonder, (says
the Fayetteville Obseryer,) that one
man among the Van Buren, ranks IN
Virginia has been found honest enough
to denounce General Jackson's uncon-
stitutlonal, tyrannical act, in pocket
ing the currency bill, which had been
passed by an overwhelming majority
Of Congress and TO scout at humbug
Benton's gold policy and, better still,
that journal Of the party has had the
daring to publish such sentiments; no
less paper than the Richmond En-
ouirer. which is now certainly at the
head Of the Administration press, as
well in talent as in influence. After
pronouncing Benton's schemes "wholiy
visionary, y" one of the chimeras OF
the brain of political fanatic.", and
disappearing Of the Federal Executive
controlling the State banks, this writer
says: :
General Jackson was not and IS
not infalIible. His refusal 10 sign the
currency bill cannot be sustained by
those who wish each department OF the
Government kept strictly WITHIN lhe
sphere of its constitutional powers
When the bill had been passed by more
than two.thirds Of both Houses, II was
due to Congress that he should have
g;ven them power TO have reviewed
their act, ift6ey had so determined, TO
