THE TORNADO AT NATCHEZ.

The Editor Of the Louisville Journal has con.
versed with an observnnt and scientific citizen of
Natchez, who was an eye witaess to the late
desola,ing tempest. He communicated some in
terestng facts greatly calculated to confirm the
theory of DR.. Espy. His house was much in.
iured, but he attributes its comparative safety
70 the fact that its windows and doors werc ny
accident left open. The gardner OF u neighhor
saw the storm approaching, and succeeded IN
closing the doors ami windows OF the house,
which he had scarcely done, when the building
fell and crushed him under the ruins.
"Dr. Tooey, another neighlor, and man OF
science, with n gust conception of the action OF
the tempest threw open the windows and
doors of his house, not already open when the
storm conrnenced and although the structure

Remarks on the General Principles of Husband
'y.-I. Whatever may be the nature Of your soil
and situation ofyour farm, remember, that there
is no soil so good, but it may be exhausted and ri-
ined by bad tage, and that there is bad
that cannot be rendered fertile by good tillage, a
barren heath, ifit be ploughed and swarded.
2. The true art of husbandry consists in suffer-
ing no crop to grow upon your land, that will SO
far exhaust your soil, to lessen the value OF your
succeeding crop, whatever profit such crop may
afford you.
3. To avoid tins, suffer no one crop to grow two
years upon the same piece of ground, excepting
grass, and buckwheat, without the fertillzing aid
of rich manures to support the soil; and then,
change ofcrops win generally do best, excepting
onions, carrots and hemp. e~-
d. Every plant derives from the earth Its growth.
such properties peculiar itself; this plant,
upon the same ground, will exhaust the soil Of
those properties peculiar to itsef,whout lessening
its powers to produce other panis.--This
fact is most striking in the article Of flax, which
will not bear to be repeated ofioner than seven
years. and is common 10 all crops, with the excep-
ton of those noticed above.
5. To avoid this evil, arrange your fern into
such divisions MS will enable you to improve all
the variety Of crops your land may require in such
regular succession, to form routine Of s, @,
years, according To the nature, quality, and situa
lion Of your farm.
6. This method will make your poor land good,
and good better, Try and sec.-Farmers Cab-

REVOLUTIONARY ANECDoTE.

A story Ia told OF Sergeant who travelled
through The woods OF New Hampshire, OH his
way to the American Army which will show
the character oflho Inlmns.
He had twelve men with him. Their route
was far from any settlement; and they were q.
bliged every night TO encamp in the woods
The Sergeant had seen II good dGnl of the Indi
ans, and understood them well. Early in the
afternoon, one day, as they were marching on,
over hogs, swanps, and brooks, under The Sieat
maple trees, u body of Indians more than their
own number, rushed out upon bill in front OF
them.
They appeared TO be pleased at meeting with
the Sergeant and his men. They considered
them their hest friends. For themselves, they
had taken up the Ratchet for the Americans, and
would seal and strip those rascally English for
them like so nnny wild cats. How do You
do PROF." (tneaning broiher,) said ones & so they
went about shaking hands with The sergeant and
his twelve men.
They went off at last; and the sergeant Ia wing
marched on n mile or two, halted his men, and
addressed them. "My brave fellows" said he.
"we must use all possible cnurion, or before
morning we shall n Of us he dead men. You
are amazed but depend upon men, these Indi.
ans have tried TO put out suspicion. You will
see more by and by?"
They concluded finally to adopt the follownr
scheme for defence. They enca,nped for The
night near stream Of water, which protected
them from behind. large oak was felled Dnd
a brilliant fire was kinded. Each man cnt n
log Of wood about the size Of his body, rolled il
up nicely in blanket and put his hat on the
end OF it, and laid it before the fire. that the ell.
envy might take it for IA man,
Thirteen logs were fitted out in this way rep.
reseniing the sergeant anil his IL men. They
then placed themselves, with loaicd guns he.
