Iect of its friends, we entreat Them if they have,
up to this late hour, neglected their yearly duty
Of petitioning Congress and the State Legisla-
ture, to give themselves no rest until they have
done all in their power to atone for their neglect.
We ent-eat of them at this late period, to leave
all improbable dispuations upon mere abstract
ions, and nice points of casuistry and metaphys-
les which have presented themselves in the pro-
gress of our cause and take hold of this great and
good woRK-each man and each woman throwing
his or her entire strength upon the great lever of
Petition-the same which overturned the slavery
of the British West Indies-and which is now
under the foundation stone of the citadel of
American oppression. The massy walls of the
prison house are already shaking. Every name
added 10 the petition roll is an additional weight
upon the Abolition lever. Pile them on--in the
name of humanity let none hesitate to throw on
theirweight and with Gods blessing, turret and
batlement OF the foul edfce shall toter and fall
the dungeons shall burst open to the sunshine and
free air, and angels and goriGed spirits shall re-
oce over its ruin.--Penn. Freemen.

The FRUITS OF TILLAGE. We remember to
have read somewhere ofan old gentleman who
owned large vineyard. Besides this farm he
was blessed with two daughters. On the mar
rage of the oldest, he portioncd her off with one
third of his farm, and, behold! the remaining
acres produced quite as much frui! aud wine as
before Soon after he married his youngest and
gave her an equal dowry with the first, and still
the remaining third Of his soil yielded as much as
his original plantation. farmers will see no
mystery in this. The moral of the story is, that
as his farm became smaller, he cultivated it more,
and the same amount Of labor upon few acres,
will make them produce the fruit of many.
There is great difference between tillage
and cool tillage. Some farmers,-no, some earth
scrapers, merely scratch up the soil, and after
dropping their seed has hazard, trust to the chance
of the season. 1t is not to be wondered at that
such tamperers have to scratch hard for living
We have heard many complain that large farms
did not pay the expense of their cul!'Vatlon-tha'
manure was too expensive 20 he used The earth
was, therefore, lazy scratched up sufficiently to
destroy the face of the soil, and the seed thrown
away upon it, We need not say that such far
mers Lave but little grain to SELL and not much
money in these hard times, to put out al interest
Take another case, however, that of the farmer
who makes his farm his pride, who means 10 show
his labor and skill upon every acre, and mark the
difference! The land pays treble value upon its
surface for all that has been bestowed upon it.
The owner enriches the soil, and the soil in re-
turn enriches its owner.
Every farmer, to make his farm source OF
profit, should make it a source of pride. What
ever portion of the soil is cultivated should be-
not to have many acres but rich acres. The
means whereby hunbandry is improved and lacll-
itated, should be studied and employed. BY such
careful attention, continual pleasure will be
found in agricultural pursuits, which will heigh-
ten the other rewards of good tiage.-Long Is
laead Star.

FLORIDA WAR.

By the following letter from The assistant
adjutant General of the Southern Army,
dated Forl Brook. July 90, it will be seen
that the Seminoles are again in the field,
for Jessup's treachery to Oseola. When
or how this war is to terminate, no man
can tell; and while the heart s;ckeDs and
shudders at the contemplation of barbar,les
like the following, what an awful reflection,
that for this and the worst treacherles, the
red man may find ample justification in the
example of his white nelghbor-i in the
recolIected violation Of solemn treaty
in the recollection that his chief was
rrcacherously led into captivity beneath
the whiie flag of his christian adversary.
With these recolectlons burning in his
bosom is it wonderful that the Seminole is
treacherous and revengefule
SIR-It becomes my painful duty 10 in
form you of the ASSASSINATION of the greater
part of Lit. Col. Harney's detachment by
the Indians, on the morning of the s3d
inst, on the Colcosaha chie river, where
they had gone in accordance with the
treaty at Fort King, to establish trading
house The party consisted Of about 90,
armed with Coats rife; they were encsm-
ped on the river, bul unprotected by defences
Of any kind, and i, is said without senlinels.
The Indians in large force made The attack
before the dawn OF day. and before Teveille,
and i, is supposed hat i3 of the men were
killed, among whom was Major Dalam,
and Mr.. Morgan, suffers. The remainder.
with Col Harvey, escaped, several of them
severely wounded, 1t was a complete
surprise.
The Commanding General therefore
directs. that you Instantly take measures 10
place the deiences at Fort Mellon IN the
most complete state of repair, and be ready
at all times To repel an attack, should one
be made. No portion of your command
will, in future, be suffered to leave the

FIRE.

We regret to state that our village has
been again visited by one OF those calami.
ties, which have 80 often befallen us with
in the last year. A barn belonging to Mr..
Russell OF the Vermont Hotel and two
dwelling houses near it occupied by Messrs
William and Henry Rodden, were entirely
consumed by fire on Saturday evening Of
last week. The fire was discovered about
ten o'clock and was unquesllonably the
work of an incendiary. We also under
stand hat one Of The barns attached to the
Burlington Hotel formerly owned by Col.
Thomas was discovered to be on fire about
the same time, hut the flames were extln.
gulshed before any damage was done.
