aRTICHOKES FOR HOGS.
A correspondent in the Mississippi Far

A correspondent in the Mississippi Far
mer. says.
..One ofrhc cheapest articles which can
be raised. as food for hogs, little expert,
ence has proved to me to he the common
ground artichoke. This sweer and nulri-
Gus root is so thrifty in our climate that
itmav be produced abunt;nlly with no
o,Eertrouh than that of planting il. In
deed so thrifty and hardy is it known TO be,
that have heard several farmers insist
that i, yielded better without, than with
cultivation. 1t may he prnpasated either
by The seed or the root, though by The root
the most speedily and safely. On the exa-
miua,ion of one of the roots, it will he
found covered with germs, or eyes, and
from each, ifpanted separately. there will
sorinr stalk. Hence one of the roots
NAV be cut Into great number of small
pieces for planting and from the rlnd raj
red offhy the cook when the vegetable is
used for the table, (where it is very 6ne)
the plant will spring as we'll as from the
whole root. The manner Of producing
the artichuke which would recommend
although very sloveny one-is that
the farmer would in the spring. plant the
corners ofhis fences and the waste spots
through his fields with it. BY this means,
with no f,ther pains whatever, except
(of course) to keep his fields closed there
will be produced by the fall, when nc
opens hi> farm to his stock, enough II ofthese
roots TO keep his hogs in food during The
winter. Nor would there be n necessity
for rcplanting in the succeeding spring
forthoush hogs are remarkably fond "fthe
arlichoke, and will root 10 a considerable
depth for them, etthey seldom exterm'-
nate them from aspot on which they have
once taken hold; and the young plants
often spring after all their depredations
thicker than ever. The arIichoke is so
productive that nearly half hushel Of
roots may sometimes be gathered from
single stalk.
Another excellent plant for hogs, and
one easily cultivated, is the pindar or 'gou-
Der pea.' The yield of this pea is most
astonishing, being at The ralc of from six
to eight hundred bushels 10 the acre, If
properly cultivated. A venerable and
experienced planter of Madison country,
Maj. Wick, as | have understood, has
been for number Of years practising what
cannot hut be an excellent system in
the cultivation of this plant. lie plants
it with his corn between the bills, and after
the same cultivation, leaves it unlrouLlcd
to turn his hogs upon in the fall.

THE TREASURY NOTE BILL.

The Chairman Of the Committee of Ways
and Means called up the Treasury Note Bill
on Thursday and, after his exposition, the
debate in committee of the whole was began
with remarkable vigor and animation by Mr..
CUSHING, of Mass. who, in discussing the
merits of the Bill, followed the Chairman, exa-
mining with great closeness, and controverting
most effectively his assumptions and argu-
ments, and exposing the, fallacies ofthe Secre-
tary of the Treasury, whose reports furnished
Mr.. Jones with the chief materials Of his fl
nancial exposition.
Mr. CUSHING took occasion to notice
charge which has frequently been made in
the official organ, and was insinuated by MIR.
JONES, himself, some days ago, that the OPP
position had retarded action on the Bill
This is not true. They voted against the
suspension of the rules, not because they
were unwilling to act on this measure, but
because they wished the regular course Of
business adhered to, in some degree. Di-
rectly in the path of the Treasury Note
Bill, lay the Sub-Treasury Bill, ever since
the oath day Of January
The Opposition wanted the Administration
party TO show their hands The Executive
and his friends had staked their political ex-
istence on that measure, which they pro-
claimed as indispensable to the prosperity OF
the country. 1t was the great distinctive
measure Of the men in power. The Repub-
licans in the House wished to know whether
the Administration was ready to take the
responsibility Of it, and its consequences.
Yesterday friday being devoted, BY the
rules Of the House, to the consideration of
pripaic bills, for the benefit Of those who have
claims (many Of them long standng,) on the
Justice Of Government, the debate was not
continued; and as Monday is usually spent
in the reception Of petitions. it may not be re-
sumed until Tuesday.
We will endeayor to give at least vigorous
sketch of the mastery speech Of MIR. Cushing
in our next paper.

UNITED STATES sENATE-March 10.


Several petitions and memorials Of no particular
importance were presented.
Mr.. TALLMApdE offered resolution instrucing
the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads, to
inquire into the expediency Of allowing members OF
Congress to receive, free OF postage, legislative do
cumen,s OF the different States.
MIR. TALLMADGE stated as explanatory Of this re-
solution and as reason for its immediate ADOPTION
that he had on his desk two packages, each contain
ing three documents Of the description alluded TO
the excess of postage on each OF which amounted to
$l2. He neither intended 10 pay this himself, nor
did he wish be paid on, of the contingent fund
Hence the formal action OF the Senate on this point
Mr. NoRvELL said he had received many such
documents which always came free of postage.
Mr. TALLMApoE said this had been the case with
himself up to the present instance The resolution
was then adopted.
Mr. SMITH, of Indiana, from the Judiciary Com
mittee, reported bill amendatory OF the act amend
ing the judiciary system Of the United States. IL was
read twice.
Mr.. Japan reported, without amendment, the
Joint resolution for distributing among the various

The tories endeavor to make it out that these re-

il was altogether owing to local causes, &c. But
the very eageTness with which they seize upon those

10 them the appearance of vicory-for they have,
yet, nothing more TO boast Of -and the loudness
OF tone with which they herald their own pretended
success, virtually gives them the I've. The truth Is,
