Iacksom,s Military sagacity.

1t is related of General jackson by cores
pondent at Washington of the Boston Post, that
when the hostilites between Texas and Mexi-
co, some years ago, had nearly reached their eli
max, and public expectation was on constant tip
toe to hear of some decisive engagement, gen
tIeman called to see the old General at the
"white house, He found him alone, holding in
his hand morning paper, and intent upon ira
cling the outlines Of q map that was suspended
from the wall. The General invited his friend
to his side, and then remarked: 81 have been en-
gagged in tracing on this map the relative posi-
ton of the Texan and Mexican armies, in order
to discern their several advantages and disadvan-
tages now declare to you my dear sir, that if
my old friend and companon-in-arms, General
Houston, is worth one bdubcc, he will cut Santa
Anna's army 10 pieces at This point" The re-
mark was attended with such peculiar emphasis,
that the gentleman was induced TO remember the
place thus singled out. 1t was SAN JAcINTo.-~

which his old associate could direct the struggle,

comprehend it, and won the battle, as Gen. Jack
son thus singularly predicted he would.

A Gallant Action.

The ship New York, Hull, for New York,
while lying in the stream opposite Vendue
Range, was on Saturday, the scene of stirring
adventure that deserves to be remembered Mrs
Scranton, of Augusta, (Ga.) one of the passen-
gers, while descending from the promenade deck,
fell OVERHEARD. A seaman jumped over to save
her and was very nearly drowned; he was taken
in by arope. Another seaman, James Booth,
who was at the time in the top, slid down by the
stays to the rail and plunged in. When he
reached the lady, with admirable presence of
mind, he secured her in such way that she
could not get hold of him, and sustained her
above water while the current carried them near
a quarter of mile. Meantime boat was low
cred and reached thembelore the gallant sailor
was exhausted. Charleston Mercury.

INTERESTING VARIETIES.
A Fortified Woman,

A Mr.. Woodward, of Warren county, Ohio,
said TO be man of veracty, gives the Eaton Re-
gIster the following account of a petrfed wo-
man. 1t occurred near Lebanon.
"On the 9th day of last month, our venerable
and much esteemed friend, John C. Irwin, clo-
sed his earthly career, in the full hope of hap
per Immortality. On the following day an APP
proprate funeral discourse was delivered by el-
der W. Clark, His remains were docenhy in
tered in the grave yard near West Lebanon
Some time previous TO his death he had express-
ed desire that the body Of his first wife should
be removed to this grave yard. Accordingly, on
the 24th ult., the citizens of Lebanon and the
vicinity undertook to remove the remains of Mrs.
Irwin. | went with others in search of her
grave. We found it on very high point Of white
oak ground, near Rock Creek, where they had
formerly lived. And when we had opened the
grave down on the coffin, we found it about one
fourth Ill water, and the plank of the coffin very
rotten; however, we got several pieces of bark
under it, to bind it together and lift it out From
the great weight of the coffin, we were curious
to see it opened; and to our utter astonishment.
there lay the body in full size. 1t was covered
with thin scum Of black dirt, which appeared TO
be alive with very little worms of yellow color,
but they soon disappeared when exposed to the
air. When we come TO examine more minuteiy,
we found that the body had petrifed, and became
a smooth white limestone in appearance. The
head and neck had potriliOd, and nothing remain
ed but the naked bone, and the hairs of the
head, and some feathers which had been in pill

sIaughter Of the rEamcImEkcs.

To me, the most interesting spot within these
crime-staned precincts was that where the last Of
the Mamelukes escaped from the bloody treach-
cry of Mehemet Ali. Soon after the Pasha was
confirmed by the Porte in the viceroyaty of
Egypt, he summoned the Mameluke bevs TO
consultation upon the approaching wars against
the Wahabees in Arabia. AS his son Tnussoum
had been vested with the dignity of pacha of
the second order, the occurrence was one of fcs-
tivity as well as business. The beys came mount
ed on their finest hores, in magnificent uniforms,
forming the most superb cavalry in the world
After very hatterng reception from the Pacha,
they were requested to parade in the court of the
citadel. They entered the fortifcaton unsus-
pectlngly, and the portculies fell behind the last
of the proud procession. A moments glnnce
revealed to them their doom. nu
They dashed forward--in van!--before and
around them, nothing was visible but blank, pitt
less walls and barred windows, and the only
opening was toward the bright blue sky; even

OF PLANTING FRUIT
TREES ON DECLIVITIES.

Dodart first observed that trees pushed their
branches in direction parallel to the surface of
the earth. If tree stands on heap it pushes
both toward the hill and toward the declivity; but
on both sides ir still preserves its branches par
allel to the surface. AS there is an attraction
between the upper surface of leaves and light, |
am also persuaded, though not equally certain of
it from experiment, that there is an attraction of
the earth. This consider the true cause of the
phenomenon; | had long observed that the most
fruitful orchards and most fertile trees are those
planted on declivity, and the sleeper it is, tho
not quite precpice, the more fertile they prove.
Ii is we'll known that the spreading of trees al
ways renders them fruitful. On plain they in
cline TO shoot upwards, and therefore art is en-
ployed by skillful gardeners, and applied in va
rious ways, TO check their perpendicular, and to
promote their lateral growth. But this point is
obtained on a declivity by nature. There tree
loses its tendency to shoot upwards and in order
to preserve its branches parallel with the surface
is constrained to put them in a lateral direction
Hence an important rule in the choice of orch
ards and fruit gardens.-Fdrmer's Journal

THE CROPS IN MICHIGAN.

The Detroit Free Press of the 10th instant
gives the following account of the harvest in that
State:
"In Michigan, we are able 10 say, so far as we
have heard, The wheat crop was never better in
quality nor larger in quantity. The farmers in
the western portion of the State are already in
the midst of the harvest, and in all parts they
will commence in the course of this week and
next. We shall have large amount for expor-
tation, and if the agrculturist gets the worth of
his labor, happy will he be, and in the same pro-
portion will the profits of the business man be in
creased. lie will sell for cash or short credit
which will enable him TO meet his eastern paper
promptly, and his creditor with smiling coun-
tenance."

MISCELLANEOUS.
A TRAGICAL STORY.

Charles had been absent two days. Poor Ju-
Iia had been wishing and wishing for him. His
well known steps sounded in the entry; the door
opened, and she met him with a heightened CO.
lor in her checks, and her blue eyes flashing
from beneath their long lashes with sparkles of
unwonted pleasure. Shall mention particulars?
II is scarcely necessary. He who caunot ina

into an attitude of fattention and folding her arms
like Judge upon the bench--'there---I am

DI. Waterman gives, in the Cleveland Herald,
his mode of catching the bee-miller or moth.--
He says: 81 took two white dishes, think white

plates, and placed them on the tops Of the hives,
and filled them about half full of sweetened Vi

"Try the remedy of an egg she'll full of tar,

straight, third its tongue 10 the right side, he
can easily put down its throat an egg shell full of
tar, and in ten minutes relief will usually take
place; but second dose has never failed with my
cattle, which are always kept at brisk walking
pace through The yard until relieved.

Of freedom, or of our Institutions; the former
will give him just conception of the blessings
to be derived from freedom, and the latter the
strongest interest that can be made to perpetuate
and sacredly preserve the same. The blessings
enjoyed by the people, with proper moral and
religious restraint, form the strongest safeguard
against external and internal foes, than can in
any event be made by a nation. Standing armies,
naves and lorti6cations, are as nothing in COM
parison; these in the hands of mercenary SOL

Singular ITGdHion.--Among the Seminole
Indians there is singular tradition, regarding
the white mans origin and superiority. They
say that when the Great Spirit made the earth,he
also made the men, all of whom were fair COM
pexiOn; and that, after making them, he led
them to a margin of small lake and bade them
leap therein and wash. One Immediately obey
ed, and came from the water purer and fairer
than before; the second hestaed moment, du-
ring which time, the water agitated by the first,
had become slightly muddied, and when lie had
bathed he came up copper colorod; the third did
not leap in till the water became black with mud,
and he came out with his own color. Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three packages of
bark, and babe them choose, and ont of pity for
his misfortune in color, gave the black man the
first choice. lie took hold of packages and
having felt the weight of each chose the heaviest
the unprecedented one then chose the second
heaviest, leaving the white man the lightost--
When the first was opened, it was found to con-
tain spades, hoes, and all the implements of la
Dor; the second unwrapped hunting, and fishing,
and warlke apparatus; the third gave to the
white man, pen, ink and paper-thc engine of
the mind-the means of mutual mental improve
ment-the social link of humanity the founda-
ton of the white mans superiority.

AGRICULTURAL.
OUR AGRICULTURE,

This country enumerates at present not far
from sixteen millions of white population. Ac-
cordng TO the census the entire number of in
dividuals employed in manufactures and the me-
chanic arts, is less than five hundred thousand
Commerce employs much less number still land
if we allow one and half millions to be en-
ployed IN mercantile operations, which in all pro-
liability is large estimate, we shall have for
oS sievlt"ral Cnly tho ing num-
ber of fourteen and half millions. Now what,
we inquire, is wanting but intelligence, aud a
proper respect for their calling, the part of the
tillers of the soil, to render agriculture "honor-
abe?" With the requisite quantum of intel-
gence and sefrespect on their part, all that
could be requisite, under any or every modifca
ton of circumstances, would allow us an inevita-
ble result. We hope all, ALL who are interest
ed in the cultivation ofthe soil, will duly ponder
these things.

The Newport Herald says: Our whaling fleet
counts SIX hundred and twenty-five vessels, the
greater part Of which are ships of four hundred
tons burden, amounting in all to two hundred
thousand tons. The majority of those vessels
cruise IN the Pacific ocean. Between fifteen
and sixteen thousand men are required 10 man
these vessels, bali of whom go TO sea for the first
llme as "green hands," and return after voyage
of fatigue and hazard transformed into sailors.
The value of the whole fleet is estima ted at
not less than twenty-five millions of dollars, ex-
tractcd from the ocean by hard toll, exposure and
danger. The estimated quantity of oil imported
into the United States, is about four hundred
thousand barrels, nearly one half of which is
sperm oil.
The greatest portion Of the whale oil finds
market in Germany, Holland and Prussia.
