Winnebago. This lake is within two
miles Of the river Manitouwoc, which
empties into it. Steamboats, from Buffa-
10 pass IFS mouth daily during the sea-
son of business.
In addition to all the foregoing adj
vantages, there are in the western and
central portions OF the Territory, rich
and extensive beds of lead and copper,
which probably extend eastward to the
Lake. These are some of the induce
ments which point out this Territory,
and especially the eastern portion of
it, as full ofpromise to the hardy, indus
trious, and intelligent cmigrant. The
force of the advantages is seen in the
press of settlers, who seem to be hurry
ing into this Ell Dorado, TO secure their
section or quarter section fer them
selves and their posierity.
thrust your exertions will not be wan
ting to induce more of these settlers TO
take good agricultural works of the day,
that they may not fall behind in the in
telligence which is, by these means,
making such inroads upon the imperfect
systems Of farming which are still too
much practised here, as well as else
where. | may write you again from

The spine of plants.

!. In all vertebrate animals there is n
part at the back of the neck, between the
spine marrow, and the brain, where
serious injury will occasion DEATH
There 10 corresponding point in plants,
between the root and the stem, which is
called the neck or collar; and at this
point plants may be more readily injured
than any where else. Most plants, also
may be killed by covering this point too
deeply IN the soil In all seeding plants,
this neck or vital part is Immediately
beneath the point where the seed leaves
originate; and if the plant be cut over
there when in a young state, the part
which is left in the ground will infalli-
bly, die. 3! In all. plants, however, and
particularly in herbaceous plants which
have creeping stems, and also, in vari-
Gus kinds Of trees and shrubs, the roots
after the plant has attained certain age,
become furnished with adventurous buds;
and when the plant or tree is cut over by
the collar, these dormant buds are call
cd into action, and throw up shoots
which are called suckers. No suckers.
/ hoHorofs- are ever thrown UP ny plant
cat Il ahrouah the collar while in its seed
leaves. . The branches of tree may be
all cut off close 10 the trunk, and the
roots also partially removed; but if the
collar remain uninjured, the plant In
suitable soil and under favorable circum-
stances, will throw out new roots, and
in time will completely recover itself.
On the other hand, if the collar is cut

roots, and the roots without stem, or
the power, in general, TO throw up one.
There are some plants Of the herbace-
Gus kind (such as the horse radish, Tor
example,) that do not suffer even if the
collar should be buried two feet or even
three feet; but by far the greater num-
Der of the plants (such as the hepatica,
the common daisy, the common grasses,
&c) are killed by having the collar COW
cred two or three inches; and nothing is
more injurious TO woody plants, wheth-
er large or small. 1t is to destroy
large tree, by heaping up earth around
its trunk; and easy to prevent small
one from growing, by lifting it and plant
ing it six inches or foot deeper in the
soil than il was before. Hence the great
Importance of not planting any plant
deeper in the soil than it was before ta-
king up; and hence also the reason why
trees planted in deeply trenched ground,
and especially fruit trees often disappoint
the planter. In planting these trees, the
soil immediately under and about them
is more consolidated by treading and
watering than the soil in the other parts
Of the plantation, and hence it soon
sinks below the general level; to main,
tain which level, the gardener fills up
the depression every year, till the col
lar Of the tree becomes buried several
inches below the. surface.-Loudon's

4. B. ALLEN, ESQ. SIR -
Having had the pleasure Of seeing
some Of the numbers Of your Agricul
tural paper in this region, and thinking
a short notice Of some things here might
be interesting to portion of your rea-
ders, shall venture TO trouble you with
a short epistle. The name Of my pre-
sent resting place, above, may seem
strange to many. Of your readers, but
not stranger than the Pcquol, Mohe can,
and Narragansett, Of the northeast, and
Choctaw and Chickasaw of the south

Indian names, is full of significance
and beauty; ManifoW meaning their

Eut where is it, is the next inquiry?
1t is somewhat difusely located, it be-
ing the name Of river, county, har-
Dor and county seat; but all lying be-
tween two lovely sheets Of water, Lake
Winnebago on the west, and Michigan
on the east. The country is delight
fully situated, having surface gently
undulating, with hill and dale, and
streams as pure as wells out of the gran
lite hills Of the north. This is the coun-
try Of woodland and forest, yielding
some Of the finest timber, in great album
dance. The prairies commence about
So miles west Of the lake shore In this
latitude, and thence extend, with slight
interruptions. believe to the Rocky
Mountains. The principal growth is

full and extensive orchards of the first,
stretching for miles over a clear grass
sod, which would laugh 10 scorn all the
feeble embellishments of. art, around
which were located, at convenient dis
tances, the wigwams of the red man.
These, during the sugar season, are al
ways occupied by their owners, for the
purpose of securing their annual sup
ply of sugar.

MIsCELLANEoU Us.
From the Western Messenger
Aims Giving and LOaningo g.

We read Of misery in Ireland that
seems incredible, Of exposure that seems
impossible in a Christian land; We turn
with wonder to the hardships Of the Pill
grims of New England, and the back
woodsmen Of this Valley: but we do not
recognize the misery right about US at
this moment, nor know the suffering
that is even now in this city dragging
down hundreds to the grave. During
the last winter, instances occurred here
Of as great physical want as any that
can he met with in the wo-strickon how
els of Erin; and though such extreme
cases are rare, cases demanding the ad-
vice and aid Of every humane man and
woman, may BE- discovered in any square
of our thriving town.
The deepest and most permanent sui-
fcring, however, which. occurs among
us is not physical; those cases which pc
cuIiarly demand the help Of a Christian
friend, are such as the one described in
this little snctch, which though not true
in detail, is true in spirit, and drawn from
actual occurrences.
Twas, some months since, struck by
the appearance Of little girl, who was
carrying a bowl Of soup along Western
Row; she was well clad, her shoes were
such as poor children never wear, aHt
vet the face looked like that Of a pinch
cd and half starved child. The soul
which she was carrying, must, tho't
have been given her in charity. "My
little girl said !, ''you have a big load
let me help you along with it," Sh'
looked up into my face with her swell
len eyes, and giving me the bowl, smiled

soaking Corn TO, Feed Horses.

One of the best farmers in the yicin.
ity Of Baltimore, saves one third Of his
corn by soaking it before he feels it to
his horses. He places two hogsheads
in store secure from the frost, and fills
them witlrears Of corn and pours on
water to cover it. When well soaked,
he feeds it TO his horses, and when one
cask is empty, he fills it again, and feeds
from the other. By the time one is
empty, the corn in the other is well
soaked. The cobs are so well soaked
that the horses eat the whole, and re-
quire only two-thirds as much corn
when prepared in this way; and there
is no doubt that this preparation, and
the eating of the cob with the corn,
renders the food more wholesome.

WING BOND-PAFING TICKET.
For Congress.
". e. HOWARD, of Kinds,
10. DUNBAR. of Jefferson,
w. G. KENDALL, of YalObuaha.
JOHN GILNIER. of Lowndes.

As'.it is almost universally agreed upon, by
the Wing patty of this State, that it would nei-
Their be in accordance with their principles nor
be polite at this time 20 nominate and support a
Wing Ticket for Congress, the alternative is
presented to us, whether Mississippi shall elect
bondspaying Democrats or Regulators to rep
resent us in Congress. Under such circum-
stancessthe Wings, directed by those principles,
which have always governed them, viii, we pre-
sumo, have no difficulty in determining what is
the proper course for them to pursue.
From these considerations we have determl>
ned to place in our columns the names of the
Bond paying Democratic candidates foF Con-
gress. OF course, it will be understood that We
do not accord with these gentlemen in their
views in regard to general politics; but upon the
subject Of reputation we are satisfied that they
are sound in their principles; and that is all we
can expect at this time. In every other respect
also. this ticket is decidedly preferable to the
dher, and we shall give itour earnest support. 1t
moreover, affords the only means of defeating
the Regulating ticket for Congress, and we
think it highly incumbent upon every Wing TO
endeavor to defeat the members of that party in
every attempt they may make for political sta>
