The General Assembly adjourned Satur-
day noon, after n session of four weeks. An
unusual degree o! harmony has prevailed IN
It's deliberations, and its time Inns been oc-
cupcd with the transaction Of business, with
but few discussions, aud those Of n business
are, we believe, law and order men, with q
single exception.
Two militia laws were reported, and one
of them passed the House, but was postponed
IN the Senate
A new Election Law, according to the
provis sions Of the Constitution, was passed
was drawn up with great care and received
The anxious deliberations Of the General
Assembly. Although it is no, probable that
any law upon this subjcc. can be perfected
until j, has passed the test of experience, we
think this will be found w require few altcrs-
tons.
The election Of Members Of Congress was
postponed ill the last Tuesday of August,
the day on which The elections were formerly
held. The time was anticipated, at inc last
election, M order 10 secure a representation
in the extra session Of Congress. One rca-
son for the pos'ponement was, probably, tho
expectation that the single district law might
be repealed, which would render it unncccs-
snry to district the State. Anolbcr reason
was, that if the election should he held IN
| April, before the constitution goes into effect,
only freeholLcis and their eldest sons would
be entitled To vote. The constitution makes
provision for the election Of general officers,
members of the General Assembly, &c., by
the extended suffrage, but no, for election of
members of Congress. AS there wns reason
for holding the election. .beiurc the consti,n.
tion takes effect, 1t was though, more just
and liberal to postpone II To period when
more enlarged constituency might participate
Il ~ its franchise. This act furnishes a singu-
H lar commentary upon the charges which have
been brought against the General Assembly,
of illibcro!ny aud desire of retaining power
which belonged to the people.
Petitions were received from Joseph Gavi,t
and others, under indictment for treason
| praying the mcrcllyl inicrposIton of tho
General Assembly. They were referred to
! the Governor and Council, with full poScr To
| take the cases INTO consideration, md IN their

bal amendments and without debate.
The section relative I" the active mill
tia and their organization was then taken
up.
Mr.. Cranston proposed an amend
ment, excepting the old chartered com
panies from being united to the brig AIDES,
unless ordered into them by the com.
mander-in-chief, or united to them by
their own voluntary act.
Mr.. Ames opposed this amendment -
lf any companies were excepted, the
whole system would be destroyed, and
the House might as well stop proceeding
in the DILL at once. He said that the
only objection to this bill came from the
Newport Artillery, and some discussion
arose between Mr.. Ames s. MIR. llaz-
ard, respecting the privileges Of this
company.
Mr. Cranston Withdrew his amend
mcnt upon the suggestion OF Mr.. Hazard,
that he should move The special excmp-
ton Of The Newport Artillery, and the

marks upon the immoral character oI

These unrivalIed pills having now acquired
celebrity and popularity unequalled in the
ANIMALS of medicine, and also having obtained
the entire confidence and being used in the
private practice of almost the whole body of
the medical faculty, in the q s., Europe, ASIA
South America, the West Indies, and great
part OF Africa, it is unnecessary to advertise
them at length, or to say anything further of
Their merits than by stating the complaints
which they are most effective in the cure Of,
which are as foliows--yellow and bilious fe-
vefs, ague, dyspepsia, Group, liver complaint;
rheumatism, enlargement Of the spleen, disten
ton ofthe stomach and bowels, incipient diar-
rhea, habitual costiyeness loss of appetite
and in all cases oftorpor of the bowels, where
acathartic or an appetite is needed They are
mild IN their operation, producing neither nau

THE LITE OF AN EDITOR.

Few, if any, of the patrons and rea-
ders Of Public Journals are aware of
The toll, anxiety and yexation attend
ing the duties Of an Editor. 1t seems
TO be the general opinion of the mass,
(lfindeed they ever happen to consider
Tor a moment how the newspaper IS
made THAT it is turned oGSy machine,
like Dow Jr.'s Poetry perhaps. Or
perchance, Ignorant as community is
IN general of Typography and every
thing pertaining to newspaper ware,
they may conjecture, as did the sturdy
Erln concerning money IN America,
that editorials, miscellany and intelli-
gence Of every kind, Of tie most inter
esting character, grew on trees, or were
as plenty in a Printing Office as black
berries in Autumn.
AS it is beyond cur power to delin-
cate all the care and responsibility
resting upon an Editor, as well as thu
chagrin which he Is experiencing; W.
will but name few things reeomfnen
ding him to the indulgence and mere.
ofcommunity.
That much of the censure heape'
upon the sons Of the type is meritorl
Gus, we admit; to say that the edito
IS often culpable, is but to say that il
common with the rest mankind, h
Is human. It is his task to cater 70

SWINE MANAGEME N7JI'.

In managing hogs, it is important
that pigs should befarrowed at seasons
of the year neither exceedingly hot nor
cold. April and September are the
best months for the sows to pig. For
this purpose they should goto the males
the last of May or first Of June, and in
December. 1t is a good rule never to
let breeding sows get very poor or We
~ fat. From the time they go to the
boars till within a month Of pigging
they should be fed regularly, but only
in sufficient quantities to improve them
slowly. As the time Of pigging APP
proaches they should DO fed more boun-
tifllly. But if they become too fat,
they often overlap their pigs, and are
not usually careful with them. Many
rules have been given for the manage
ment Of sows at tarowing, but only a
few plain directions will be of service
LIST. Let no other hogs interfere with
the sow; and I'd. Be careful she has
water and pleasant shelter in the lot
If she should happen to make choice Of
an unpleasant spot for her bed, a few
planks, or board shelter will protect
her from the sun and rain.
Your pigs should become fat as soon
as possible, and be kept SO till they are
ready to butcher. 10 effect this mat
ter, the dams should have an abundance
of rich food, such as kitchen slops,
roots, boiled corn, &c.
1t is a good practice to have small
pen with hole, to admit the pigs, &
low trough for them to be fed from
the time they are two weeks old.
When the pigs are from six to eight
weeks old, if they have learned to eat
well, they should be weaned. At this
season there is greater difficulty than
any other. Unless they have close at
tentlon, they will become poor, sink
behind the shoulders, and scarcely ev-
er recover from it. Let them have food
regularly five times per day, and it
should be such as will suit the stomach
and be most nutritious. Stops will an
swer a good purpose for part of the
time, but the food should vary every
day. Milk, boiled meal, slops, roots
and dry food, as corn, should be given
daily. Hogs should have water at all
times, and if sailed every day, they
will do the better for it. Grass and
clover are always acceptable to swine,
and cymlings, pumpkins, and peas are
very good, and ardchokes, in winter,
Except when the ground is frozen) are
unequalled, particularly if the hogs
have salt and little dry food daily.
Care must be taken that hogs do not
occupy the same bed too long, and by
all means they should be kept from slee-
ping IN stables, about manure heaps,
IN shucks, or wet, or old straw.
The cheapest pork is that which is
made of pigs dropped in The spring &
slaughtered the December following.
BY this process winters feed is saved,
and by pushing" the pigs will weigh
from one to two hundred pounds at s
or 9 months cid. For large pork, the
year ODDS will do tolerably well, but
we think it bad economy 10 have kill
ing hogs more than twenty months
old.-Tennessee Agriculturist.
