COMMON Schools" The common schools
of New-England, a. was justly remarked Oh
a public occasion by one of the distinguished
literary ornaments Of our country, were the
true patent Of our Pilgrim Fathers for free
constitution of government" Even France,
illustrious as she was in arts and letters be-
fore the Revolution, when she attempted to
practice upon the political principles of the
United States, felt the want OF that general
education of the people which formed the Pc
c~uliarity Of New-England, where our Revolu-
ton received it's principal impulse. 1t was
not until the happiness of one generation had
been sacrificed in the struggle, and another,
educated in the stern school Of adversely, had
come upon the field, that this great nation be-
gan to realise the fruits of its 'arduous efforts,
and to enjoy the advantages of a liberal, wise,
and well administered goyernment.-lALEx.

KIDNEY WoRas.-There is not now the
slightest excuse for any farmer allowing
his hogs to die from this disease. In ad-
dltlon to the testimony of Drs. Kirkland
and Martin, and of others who have proved
it, we can add our own. A few days, or,
If neediul, weeks, feeding on corn boiled in
tye, will cure almost any case of Kidney
worm. Where the dragging of the hind
quarters is occasioned by this complaint,
there is not a doubt but this will effect a
cure. The cruel process of cutting into
the flesh of the back over the kidneys,
and pouring in spirits Of turpentine, e
were it a certain cure, may thus be dispea-
sed with.-SotEhern planter.

EXPLOSIVE SnEILs.-TEgR,yIE Wa.
Pos.---kecently an experiment was made
at washington of the explosive force Of
some decorating shells, invented By DIR.
Alexander Jones, Of South Carolina.
Those exhibited were mere tin cases. about
three inches Ia diameter, filled with cor.
busfibIe matter, and were thrown from
the hand into the canal, a distanc of some
twenty or thirty yards. On touching the
surface they instantly exploded, with nc.
port equal to u four FOUNDER, casting up a
column of water fifty feet in the mir, and
showing that, on a larger scale and dis.
charged from a mortar, they would con.
stltute a most destructive engine. There
was no fire used to ignite them.
On the 9th inst. a second experiment
was made with shells Of n Iarger s;7a.
Seven were discharged from the hand:
some were so regulated that thew sunk to
the bottom of the river before exploding.
and then went off with great power. rails.
ing huge columns of the water above the
surface. Others were niade to burst n f.w
feet under the water, and others again inn.
mediately and instantly on striking tba
surface.-Several Of then, exploded with
the report Of n six or a nine pound cannon.
and sent the water in some instances more
than 100 feet in the al. One one occa.
sion, the quantity sent up was so great
that it spread and fell in a heavy shower
bath on the shore, and wet the spec. ators
so freely that it set them all 10 scarnpering.
To prove the safety of these shells in han.
ding them, the inventor in two Ct three in.
threw them from his hand On the
hard ground and then kicked them about
with his feet till the cases were indented.
without going off. He then picked them
up and threw them into the river, when,
in each case, they immediately exploited
with great violence.
The inventor of this terrible engine of
wa, made his first experiment in Engian nd.
where both the power and the NJ mister of
Russia wished to purchase his secret. He
preferred to offer it first to bis own gov.
eminent, which is his purpose now at
Washington.
The great excellence Of the invention,
is stated in the Washington papers, is its
eapabllity of being SO nicely adj usted that
it can be made to burst any where at o
given time, and that it can be sunk in
water ard exploded at any depth.
A weapon so destr ctiye would be most
effective in boarding vessels; in the first
rush Of attack among land forces; in the
debarkatlon Of IN enemy's troops, or while
they wrre C osslng Il river.
An invention similar 10 this was exhib-
tied some months ago IN England, but it is
said 10 have been far inferior in destruc.
tive force, and its capablIity of being used

il may be placed.

BOND PAYERS n ANTI-BoSD-PAYERs.
We have already alluded once or twice 10
the unequitable position adopted by one CT
the political parties in Mississippi, respect.
ing the redemption OF the bonds of that
state. The case stands thus: Mississippi,
a few years since, when people thought
they realized fortunes in credits borrow.
cd a sln of money, amounting to $4,000
900 from certain European bankers.
This money was lavished, and mostly les
in banking speculations. The faith of the
state was solemnly pledged for the pay
ment thereof--iaiead, it was only
or the strength Of that pledge that the
loan was operated.
The speculation was unsuccessful from
an unjudicious appropriation of the funds
borrowed, and nov the state refuses either
to restore the capital or pay the interest
thereon, contending, in effect, that since it
did not accomplish its projects, it cannot
afford to pay and will not pay, what it
borrowed.
This is strange doctrine, every one viii
admit; and yet, what Is sill more strange
Than the doctrine itself, is to find a. large
party openly and with unblussing fronts,
lending themselves to its support. How
an enlightened body of men can assume
what the democratic party Tor the leaders
of that party,) in Mississippi assume, and
still frequent the society of honest or pro.
fessedly honest men, is an enigma we de
mo-. pretend +, solve. Yet the have ths

THf AGRICULTURAL Soc1ETY.--The Ope-
lousas Gazette, in publishing the notice Of The
board of directors of the Louisiana Agrlcuitu-
raj Society, makes the following forcible re-
marks
sit will be seen by reference to the sub
Joined notice, that the entafprislhg and public
spirited individuals who have united their lie
fluence and exertions for the purpose Of estab-
fishing a State Agricultural Society, have
begun the work in good earnest. Il inteifi-
gence and weight Of character, added to a
commendabie zeal on the part OF some OF the
pioneers in this patriotic undertaking, be OF
any avail, then must their efforts be crowned
with success. 1t is an interesting fact, that
the Southern States, with all their immense
resources, superior advantages, great fertility
Of soil, and particularly our own State, have
Jagged behind their poorer, but more energetic
sisters of the North, in works Of public in-
%provement, and in fact, every thing of q pub
lie nature, calculated to make a people inde-
pendent and happy. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that the dangers both internal and ex-
ternal, which seem to compass cs around ;
the deadly war which is waging against our
peculiar institutions at home, and the not less
effective, though different means resorted to.
to accomplish the same object from abroad,
will arouse the South from its lethergy, and
teach them the giaring truth, that upon them
selves and upon their own resources alone
must they ultimately fall back. If SO, the
sooner the work is begun. the better"

To KEEP BUrTER.-A majority of butter
makers are opposed to washing Their butter IN
water coon after it is churned, and fancy they
would lniure it by the operation; they there
fore endeayor to separate the butter milk by
working the lump of butter, by repeatedly
changing the position of the PARTICLES of mat
ter so as to let it run of. Some beat pound
Jumps in their hands others use little shovels,
and fear to let the butter come in contact with
the warm hand, for all melted particles are
found TO be injurious. Salt is mixed in and
much precaution is usedto exude the matter
which is SO liable to sudden putrefaction.
But a far better mode of casting out this
foul matter is practiced by those who best
understand how butter should be prepared to
be kept. The Dutch know it, and the Scotch
have excelied in it; and butter has been SO
put up that it has been for years kept sweet.
It must be admitted by all who consider The
subject. that az oil, or any thing oily will not
ui,ite with water, We need not fear that we
cam wash out any of the goodness Of the arti-
Gle. We may use water enough to wash the
butter away, but we an wash no goodness out
of it. When the butter is first gathered in
the churn, the butter milk must be turned off
and cool fresh water turned in, and the butter
should be dashed again in order to get out all
the particles Of milk that remain in the little
c%revices or eyes Of the butter. This water
may then be turned ont and a fresh supply
substituted for it. This must be dashed like
the first, and you will find but little milky mat
ter in it. This dashing in two waters will be
found sufficient, though more will not hurt the
butter.
Now, as this operation hastaken place while
the butter was soft, all parts of the butter have
come in contact with this food of water, and
if any moist PARTICLES are still left in the crew.
ces, they will consist chiefly of water. Then
salt the butter, and this water becomes brine.
You have brine, therefore, if any thing, as a
substitute for thas milky matter that soon
grows putrid, If left among the butter; and
brine, made well, is the best thing withwh!clr
the butter comes in contact. Yet. as this
brine is not always perfectly free from the
milk, if it can be wholly absorbed by any other
substance, we feel more sure our butter will
keep sweet. We therefore make the salt as
dry as possible. We let all the moisture
evaporase from it, either while we place it in
the sun or let it stand by the fire. This salt
will then absorb all the remaining moisture il
the butter, and leave US nothing bat purity
and sweetness.

ENGLISH IMPORTERS AND A
TARIFF.

In cur large cities there are many men-in-
huentisl and doing heavy business in the mer.
camille line-foreigners or CO partners with
foreign merchants, capitalists and manufacture.
ers. They are mostly from England and are
Englishmen, sent over to extend the business
Of the large establishments in England, and
import a large share of the goods which come
of this country from foreign countries.
These men arc uniformly opposed to Amer
lean interests and industry, for they speak the
opinions and desires of their partners at home,
and are exerting all their influence 10 break
down the manufactures of the United States.-
And ID doing so, they 60 against a Tariff, in
and the locofocos of the North. They are, in
fact for free trade-for admitting foreign man-
ufactu.es and products free of duty. 1t is for
their interest to do so-for then they would
through the advantages ofthe pauper labor sys-
tenn of England, drive manufacturers of this
country to a REIMBURSEMENT of their business
and destroy the market for American products
or force us into competition with their penny a
day pauper system of labor and the prices of
our products down to the European Standard.
Such must necessarily be the case-for with
out protection, competition would be direct be-
tween the labor ofthe United States and their
half paid labor. Such might do for the South,
where they do not pay for labor, but not at the
North where the employer and laborer think
sthe laborer worthy of his hire"
We remarked last week, what is notorious
in the seaports, that pamphlets are in ~circula.
ton, written by Englishmen or by men in En-.
glish interest against a Protective Tariff, and
for free trade or its equivalent, low duties on
importations.

the locofocos in Vermont in relation to a tariff
indeed it is ~locofoco doctrine-the same as
was endorsed by the ~locofoco Legislature Of
