NEW BURIAL GROUND.

A writer in the Democrat calls attention 10 the
crowded state of our burial ground, and the ne
cessity of procuring another He does not ap
pear to be aware Of the fact that the Common
Council have had the subject under consideration
and that it is now in charge of COMMITTEES, who
are instructed to select and report upon suitable
location. That committee made choice Of 6
piece of ground some time since, with remarkable
unanimity-the beautiful grove, on the Middle
brook road, at the west end of Mr. Johnson's
farm but, for some reason, we believe they have
as yet made no report to the Council. We sin
cerely hope that this matter will be delayed nc
longer. more eligible situation, in all respects
we are satisfied cannot be had in the neighbor
hood. 1t is now almost every thing we could
wish for such purpose; and years of labor could
scarcely give the same suitabeness of adornmen
to any other spot we have heard mentioned.--Ils
tall, majestic oaks, its deep and quiet shades
and clean, luxurant sward, already mark it out,
indeed, as meet and appropriate burial place for
the dead
GA port of rest from troub'lous toll;
shelcrng inn from pain, and wearsome turmoil. u
We can but repeat the expression of the hope,
therefore, that the committee will proceed at once
to consummate the interesting duty which has
been assigned them.

REMARKABLE WHEAT.

specimen of white wheat, very remarkable
Ter Its extraordinary size, has been left at thi:
ONCE tor the examination Of those who take ar
interest IN such matters. IL was grown on the
farm OF Mr.. JOSEPH PEARSON, about three miles
North West Of this city, who has this year raised
about three hundred bushels, The produce being
estimated at forty to forty-fve bushels per acre.
The stalks are about six feet high, very stout al
the bottom, and the grain fully one half larger
than the ordinary red wheat.-The strength of
the stalks enables IL TO stand the wind and rain,
and il is said to be entirely exempt from smut.
We learn that several years ago Mr.. Pearson pur-
chased and sowed quantity OF wheat procured
from New York, among which some heads APP
peared towering several feet above the other grain.
These were carefully collected, producing about
gill of grain, and in few years, Mr.. p. has
succeeded in raising from them the quantity a.

THE GARNET

The Charleston Mercury and Washington
Journal have both intimated recently that a re-
organization OF The Cabinet will probably soon
take place. The Union contradic,s it, and de-
clares that it is ''more of unit' than any Cabi-
net heretofore known. Indeed, it is angry at the
circulation of the rumor, and denou noes the Mer-
curry as traitor, and the Journal as "conten,pt-
ibe" paper not worthy of notice. Yet, strange
to say, the rumors of change ,hicken upon US,
from other quarters, in despite of this semi-ofcal
denial. The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Journal Of Commerce states a prevalent
report that Attorney General Mason is to succeed
Mr.. Buchanan as Secretary of State, and that Mr..
Buchanan is to fill the long existing vacancy ON
the bench of The Supreme Court, created by the
death, some months ago, Of Judge Baldwin. This
runor is also mentioned by The Baltimore Patriot,
with the addition that Secretary Bancroft, of the
Navy Department, is soon to have the mission to
Berlin, in place of Mr.. Wheaton. now minister
TO that court. There must be some fire where
there is so much smoke, the denial of the Union
to the contrary Notwithstanding Lynch. Hirg.

BY reference to the list Of members Of the Tex

IocKHART HUNTER, native of this county, is a.

late Andrew Hunter, of this County, and nephew
of Mr. Samuel Hunter of South River. VIM. L.
Hunter served an apprenticeship to the carpen-
ter's business, and when his time of service ex-
PRED he shaped his course for the star West"
and finally landed in Texas. He worked at his
trade until the commencement Of the Texas Rev.
oluion, when he forsook his shop, shouldered
his musket, and went forth TO do battle for his
adopted land. He was in many of the struggles
that took place, and was in the battle of San Ja-
cinto, which closed the revolution in that coun-
try. He was wounded and left for dead on that
memorable fied--but after much suffering he
found his way to the house of an old lady, and
concealed himself under the floor, where he was
fortunately discovered, his wounds dressed, and
himself taken care of by that kind old lady.

The Address at the great Agricultural Fair of
the State OF New Y FORK, held at Utica last week,
delivered by the Hon. JOSIAH Quincy, Jr,
of Boston, in the presence of len thousand farmers.
According TO the Iribunes account
"Mr. Quncy's theme was not agriculture, but
tile american Fdrmer-his position, opportunities,
sources of enjoyment, and Of just pride and salts
| faction. He contfasted the Farmers slow but
certain gains with the precarious career of trade,
in which nlne-tenths fail, of the crowded pro-
LESSONS. Tie urged that the farmer should not
be mere digger and driver, but social, moral,
religious and intellectual being that mis- famil-
ari,y with Nature invites to this, and his oppor-
tunlties for moral Improvement, rightly apprecIa-
ted, are surpassed by none other. He painted
the futiiy of the office-seeker's aspirations. and
urged the farmer TO shun them and find enjoy
ment for his leisure and scope for his ambition in
his home and in his pursuits. These points were
urged with great cogency of argument and beau
! ty of illustration, enlivened by the humor for
which Mr.. O. is famous. He made himself mer-
ny with the farmers of Monticello, of the Hermit
age, Of North Bend, of Ashland, of Marshfied,
&C., observing that though it was quite evident
that every farmer could not be President it SEEM
ed no less certain that every Presidentmust be a
farmer. He showed that the greatest warriors
and rulers have in the midst Of their splendor and
power sighed for the delights of rural retirement
and comparative freedom from care, and urged
that the farmer may enjoy at once, and always,
| that which the envied so long pine for and so
rarely attain. His is the career which gives
surest promise of health Of body, serenity of
mind, and competence Of estate-whjch concen.
trates the joys of earth and opens the gates to
Heaven"
Mr.. JoHN A. KING, at the conclusion, rose and
expressed the thanks Of the society for the adj
dress, and asked for a copy to publish which
was seconded by the hearty acclamations of the
vast assembIage.

THE MACKENZIE PAMPHLET.

| The Richmond Enquirer has most consolatory
way of getting over the astounding disclosures
just made of the profigacy and corruption of the
leading men of its party in New York, in the
Mackenzie Pamphlet. 1t does not undertake to
deny, in SO many words, that the revelations OF
| Mackenzie are not perfectly true, and the letters
genuine, but seeks to break their force by insin-
uating that the Wings are the instigators or pro-
curers of the publication. 1t says-"The first
attempt Of the Wings of New York 10 convict
the Democrats of fraud and crime at the last e.
lection, was thoroughly exploded by some of
their own Wing allies. sit was all-important to
try anoher--and the press Of New York are fall
of the wondrous revelations Of certain book
just published" &c. Now where is the evidence
that the Wings have had any thing TO do with
this affair! And on what does the Enquirer base
its insinuation 1t does not tell us.-Trusling
to the suf1iciency of its own word as authority
with its gullible readers, it does not degn TO in.
innate even shadow of proof in support of its
| assertion. Nor does it GO into the matter of the
book, but cunnIngly slides off by saying, what
is so much 10 the credit of the party it ISLANDERS,
that "As so many of the Wing presses have, in
disgust, refused to admit the ''unclean thing
into their columns 1t is unnecessary 20 go into
the merits of the subject" And in order "to
shew Gas it says) the utter impotence of this in
famous attempt to injure the Democratic party"
it parades with great pomp the comments OF
! Wing, Neutral and Democratic papers, in regard
to-not the truth of his revelations, which is adj
mitted-but 'he character Of the author, and the
manner in which his production was ushered be-
fore the public" Now verify that is queer logic
Because Mackenzie may have been guilty Of
knavery in procuring and publishing these letters
therefore the knavery of which the writers Of
them, Van Buren,, Butler & Co., stand self-con-
victed, becomes completely expurgaed of any
thing discreditable or dishonorable. We Can
hardly think that such reasoning will be alto
gether satisfactory, even to the Democracy.
! sit is true that some Of the Wing papers in New
| York did question Of the revelations of "The
Mysteries Of Iniquity." but the prominent actors in
them, although publicly challenged do by the
thor, have not dared to deny them. Really the En-
gurer begins to show remarkable liking for 'W hig
authority"

~ The editor Of "'rhe Flag of 49," publish.
ed at Warrenton, has recently been on visit to
our Valley. He thus speaks Of the impressions
produced upon his mind by the State Institutions
at this place:
We also visited Staunton, the county-seat Of
Augusta, where we saw with much pride and
satisfaction those Institutions which Virginia has
erected as asylums for her unfortunate and afiiict-
ed inhabitants. We were conducted through the
lunatic asylum by DR.. GambiI. The officers of
the asylum are gentlemen Of talent and intel-
gence, and discharge the responsible and delicate
duties which they have to perform with ability,
and with the utmost kindness and attention to
the afflicted who are under their care.
We also passed through the institute for the
blind, and were much interested at the astonisb-
ing proficiency and intelligence displayed by the
pupils. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that our Lee
glslature will not be backward in upholding these
valuable and important institutions, which are so
intimately connected with the honor and charac-
ter of our State.
