JOHN 3. COUGH.

Great excitement has been prevailing in the pub
lie mind in the city of New York respecting the
late mysterious disappearance and conduct of
JOHN b. GoueH, the celebrated Temperance Lee
turer The facts gather them
from the New York papers, are-tbat Cough ar
rived at New York on Friday evening, the 4th
inst, from New Haven, and stopped at the Croton
Hotel. After tea, he dressed and went to the
book store of Messrs. Saxton & Miles. where be
remained for few minutes and left-stoppng on
bis way to look at some prints in the shop window
Of Mr.. Coleman, where young man accosted
him old acquaintance, and whom Cough re-
cognised old shop-mate with whom he had
worked several years ago in the Methodist Book
Concern. Some conversation ensued between them
about Coughs new misunderstanding on Tempe
rance. Cough represented his aep business as
very pleasant and much more congena 10 his feel
ings :han his old occupation, and hoped has friend
too was on the side OF Temperance. The young
man replied that be was not-snd tina; he took u
glass once in while, when he wanted it.
Here q. is represented turning off and going
up Broadway TO get clear of his friend, who how
ever followed on and continued the conversation,
saying among other things--"I suppose you are
such great Temperance that you would not
take a glass Of soda water with friend" Not
so," replied Cough, al drink soda water very Of.
ten, and consider it very innocent and refreshing
Then take glass with me-" said his companion.
"No, Ihank YOU" said Cough, 81 don't wish for
any just now" The young man continued 10 urge
him upon the score OF old acquaintanceshIp, and
he faslly consented. They were then near an es-
taolishmen, Of the kind, which, when about to en-
ter. lbey discovered TO be very much crowded, and
ths young man told him rhst they weuld ind II

VALLEY OF VIRGINIA. The valley oil
the Shenandoah, says tho able Editor Of
the Albany CutIvator, between the Blue
Ridge and the North Mountain, contains
the finest farming district in Virginia, and
is exceeded by few, if any, sections ofihe
United States in beauty and fertility. The
soil is generally strong limestone one,
admirably adapted to the production OF
wheat and corn, and favourable to the
perfection of all the fruits cultivated in
that latitude.

subsoil pillow was used, the corn remained
green and hourishing through all the

THE VALLEY rARmEH.

We have received the September M. OF this ex
ce llent Agricultural Journal and are much pleased
with the zeal energy industry dispsyed in i''
columns. We hope the Farmer may become
fully and permanently established in the Vslles o.
Virginia and that our Agricultur.ts viii take a
pride and interest in sustaining and encouraging q
Home Journal so well worthy Of their patronage
The Editor of the Farmer accompanies a synoP
sis Of the proceedings Of the Berkeley Agricutaral
Society with some very appropriate and seHsibs
remarks. which shows him to be deeply alive 10
the advance of Agricultural Improvement in Vtr.
ginia. He concludes his reference by these re-
marks:-
Tie meeting was addressed by CHAs.
J. Faulkner, ESQ.,, in speech OF some
length, characterized by the strong and Ter.
vent eoquence which distinguishes him as
ripe scholar, and an orator who has new
or failed to interest or instruct the mind
on any subject that he attempts TO eluci-
date. We should like to procure copy
of Mr.. F's. remarks, promising 10 our rea.
ders, should he deem proper to furnish Il,
a production worthy of preservation.
Gratlfed, as we are to see so much spr-
it evaced by our neighbors Of Berkeley,
wemust nevertheless complain OF the want
OF feeling manifested BY the Society in re-
gard 10 this press. True, We have no
objection to see FOREIGN publications
scattered among our farmers; but we
think, at the same time, that the true pol
icy of Virgplans is, to foster and encour-
age "home industry" We make these
remarks with no lll-feeiing towards the
Berkeley County Agricultural Society,
nor the prints it has recommended, but
merely to show our friends abroad the
prejuGices which exist against NATIVE
productions, and how prone our people
are to patronize any thing that may smack
OF FOREIGN origin. Truly may Il be said
Of us, as with others deserving better
fate, that the hand that should nurture the
tender plant, wrthholds its support, and
like neglected flower, to use a poets
phrase, must
"Boom unseen
And waste its fragrance on the desert air"
we nave maze some inquiry INTO the Justlce VI
the cause of complaint contained in the second
paragraph Of the above extract, and are assured
by the Executive Committee that il was not from
any proper rant Of feeling on the part OF the
Berkeley Agricultural Society that the ''Vallsy
Farmer was overlooked. II was altogether an
Hninteatsonai omission, which will doubtless be
paired at the October meeting. We decidedly
of the opinion OF our friend Bentley--we like to
see "Home Industry" encouraged.

INDIAN CORN.

IL actual value to the country, it is
probabls our Indian corn crop is not ex-
ceeded by any other Of our agricultural
products. Adapted in some Of its varie.
Ties to every part Of the United States !;
exceeded in nuirItIve powers by few ii
any OF the cultivated plants /; cultivated
with great ease, and only requiring one
season for it's perfection, it is mol suppri-
sing that corn should be a general favor
lite, and that moro land should be employ.
ed in the production of this crop, than
any other one. The corn crop of the u.
States NAV safely be estimated at AGO..
600 900 Of bushels; and its value $685..
100000 annually. Immense as is the
quantity of corn produced, it must be evi.
dent to all, that this quantity might be
greatly increased, even we're no more
land devoted TO its culture, by a more
skllful husbandry. It's not only by this
course, indeed, IN the older States, that
the increase of quantity is to be expected,
since 10 considerable addition oflanG 10 that
already devoted to this crop, can consis-
tently be made. In the great valley OF
the Mississippi, il is impossible 10 set lin
its to the quantity that might be annually
gown, should the demand induce the
population to divert their productive
energies into that channel.
There are lew crops which show the
effect of skill(ul cultivation more strongly
than that of corn and this mark ed i'm.
provement should induce the farmer; in
stead of adding 10 his number of acres in
corn, to adopt that course which will give
hun the creates, crops, leaving the sur.
plus acres for other uses. If man, by
good culture, can obtain from ten acres Of
land the same crop which it now takes
from flteeE to twenty 10 give, then pre-
pare the land so as TO obtain a greater
amount. That there are thousands of acres
that aow do not yield more than from
80 to 40 bushels to the acre. that would
with thorough culture yield from 10 TO so,
none acquainted with our agriculture can
doubt But we have heard it said, "if |
employ all my labor aud manure on ten
acres, the remainder o. my fields must
suffer-" The answer is easy why cul-
ivate 20 when you can get the same
quantity from l0l and will rest from crop
ping be more injurious to the soil, than the
exbaus.ing process Of cropping without
manuringl Why spread the labor and
the mature that applied to ten acres
would give 500 bushels ofcorn, over thir.
ty and 10 the end receive but 600 bushels 7
Let II be remembered too, that a piece of
land once thoroughly fitted aud munured
for corn, is fitted to produce a succession
of crops, which in all probability would
more than repay IN their extra product,
any extra expense incurred for the corn.
