Correspondence Of tho Baltimore Patriot

MoR0ANTowN. VA, May Is, ISaO.
Much 10 the surprise Of every one, the Van
Buren, Republican published here, and publisher
Of the laws, by authority, has hoisted the Harr,-
son flag, much to the confusion OF the Admins
tration party, and the JOY of the Wings.

We have been surprised to learn that impression
extensively prevails, that large of money was
raised at the Baltimore Convention repair the losses
Of the Madisonian. As this impression is incorrect
and likely to operate injurousy our interests we
take occasion to say that to knowledge not $40
was raised for that object We are informed indeed
by the President Of the Convention that he has re-
ceved $40 of the resolution relating to the
Opposition Press Of this city. The terms Of the orr
ginal resolution having been changed its object was
wholly defeated.
We have also learnt that an impression is quite
general in this city, that the Madsonian has received
large portion Of fund subscribed by Opposition
Members Of Congress- and that il is therefore sor,
of elemosynary establishment. This impression is Al
inaccurate the first. OF the amount of the voun.
tary subscription of Members of Congress alleged to
have been made, (said to be about sc OOO) not more
than about $500 has been paid to this establishment
and that only in part pay for actual work (printinp
speeches. &c) at the lowest prices. Instead of tina,
fund, or any other fund having been benefit to us
they have got VI in debt to the paper makers. Sc
much for the immense eiecioneering funds Of the Op-
position and the benefit this establishment has derived
from them.
We hear it also further alleged that the nett pro-
fits of the public printing for the 25h Congress- ac
cording, say to the developments before the
Printing Committee, 500, 900, and that we have
accumulated money from that contract Ifsuch We're
the profits, we have been thus for the first time an
prsed of it. The rery small profit compared with
that sum which received has been entirely swal
ow cd up in the expense of furnishing newspaper to
subscribers, not more than half of whom have vet
paid any thing in return. We sacrificed that-we
commended single handed against the presses armed
and supported BY the power and patronage Of the Fee
dcral Government-our establishment was burnt
down. and yet we alive, and still contending and
still the victim Of prevalent misconceptions and false
Impressions. But we shall persevcre In spite of ea-
ouses, preudices open foes, enemies in disguise
Our subscription list is still increasing and we shall
be able to announce trust that il is larger
than that Of any paper South or West of Phila-
dephia, except the Congressional Globe which

Curing Hams.-A correspondent Of the
Farmers Cabinet gives the following me-
thod Of preserving hams:
turn my barrel over a pan or kettle in
which | burn hard wood for seven or eight
days; keeping little water on the head
ofthe barrel, to prevent it from drying
then pack two hundred weight of ham
in my barrel, prepare a pickle, bv putting
six gallons ofwater in a boiler, with twelve
pounds Of salt, twelve ounces Of saltpetre,
and two quarts of moIasses. This stir
sufficiently to dissolve the salt, &c and let
boil and skim it, then let it cool and
pour it on my ham, and in one week |
have smoked ham, very tender, Of an ex-
ccIlent flavor, and we'll smoked.

cellar, and they are ready and fit for use
at all times. Cabbages kept in this man
ner retain all their peculiar flavor and
sweetness tAe whole virtue of the stump
and leaves is concentrated in the part which
is used, are handy OF access, occupy but
little room which would be occupied for
other purposes, and seldom, if ever rot !;
the outside leaves wilt and contract, and in
time become quite dry, which form sort
of coating that serves to exclude the air
from the inside Of the head.
Another method practised by some, and
highly recommended, is to cut the head
from the stump, pack it close in a sack,
taking care 10 fill up the vacancies with
dry chah, thereby excluding the air, and
keep in dry cellar Albany Cultivator

En- lcey on Cold Water--On the -occa-
sion of an escursion TO the great dam and
basin Of the Croton Water Works, near n.
York, Mr.. Stevens the President of the
Board of Commissioners gave the follow
ing euology on cold water. The sentiment
which concludes it, however, according TO
the Express, was washed down by the Juice
of the grape.
Pure Wharf.-The Deity, the manufac-
turer; the Ocean, the raw materials: the
Sun, the generator Of the vapor; the Skies,
the condenser; Electricity and Attraction,
the distributors, in showers and dews, so
finely attenuated as to be resplred through
the pores Of the most delicate plants. Ri
vers and lakes, SO abundantly distributed
as TO support not only the whole animal
creation. 1t Checks and extinguishes the
most destructive element, and finds it's lev
ell between the tops of the mountains and
the tops OF houses. ltwants neither steam
boats nor locomotives to be transported. II
cIeanses and beauties all nature, and is so
salubmOus to man, that it neither disorders
the stomach, eXcites the passions, or mad
dens the brain; so necessary to all life,
that the humblcst insect exists not without
it. The lofliost tree, monarch of the for
est, and man, monarch of all, in its alb
sence, alike droop their heads on the parch-
ed earth and diet
For community like New York where
by the impurities of water, and still more
the deleterous beverages Of man, life is
shortened and our worlds goods profuscIy
given to the flames, may be justified in
the sentiment.

water Of tho Croton, cheap at any price"

Love is generally "master of the cere-
monies" but, being rather pur- blind, makes
the most ridiculous mistakes in introducing
"partners;' and, although Avarce (who
dictates lnthe higher circles)is lynx-eyed,
ne commits as many errors in $ coupling
the company as his coadutor.
Hope illuminates the "festive scene,"
and away they bound on the 60 light fantas-
tic toe, Hands across-down the middle
up again-tiK Time steps in, and throws a
damp upon their merriment-the piper stops
for "want of BREATH" and-the dance ends!

an acting secretary and general agent.
These officers have time and means to
see that legal provisions are generally car
ried into effect, to explore and collect facts
in regard to the condition Of things at home

Storm on lake Erjs-A letter from the

storm on our lake was somewhat disas-

the iron bound shore, just below the light

was commanded by Captain Smith Of Chi
cago, who was killed. 1t seems, when the
vessel struck, the mate went up the mast,
which, when the vessel rocked towards the
bank, enabled him 10 leap ashore. The
Captain attempted to do the same; but when
nearly up to the height he intended, the
mast broke and he fell upon the deck, break
ing his Notwithstanding all his teeth in,

now coming to pieces against the rocks

BREAKING STEERS.

MEssRs. EDIToRs-Several modes of
breaking steers have been stated in your
paper-some Of which | should not wholly
approve; bat with your permission, | will
give one Of my ideas on the subject.
When these useful animals are old
enough for the yoke, place them in a sta
BILE, side by side, with hay before them,
and conine them with ropes. In this pO-
sition they can be handled at pleaSure.-
Then place yoke upon them, and direct
Iy in their rear fasten strong hook or sta
pie to this attach Il chain and fasten to
the rope with sufficient length, so that
by pulling they can barely reach their food
In this position they will soon learn to pull,
ana become familiar with the yoke, When
taken from the stable, pat them before a
sled, and you will find them ready to draw
any, reasonable load you may put behind
them. You have nothing to do bat to guide
them in the ordinary way Of breaking
steers. |. 3. l..
