hedges given in the resolutions of the Baltimore
Democratic Convention. Mr.. Calhoun, to-day
brought forward his string of resolutions affirming

be, they will again thus be laid on the table by
the vote of Southern Senators, who are willing to
die in ditch in defence ofthe principles there laid
down, but who think it best at this time for the
South simply to strip the three million bill of
the proviso, and to secure its passage in the other
House thus amended. This vote on the question
of laying Mr.. Calhoun's- resolution the table,
will merely indicate the belief on their part that

CAPT. LONGS DEFENCE.

We have read attcntiveIy the Defence Of Capt
K w. Long of the Rowan Company, against
the charges of the Mexican Whig Press in this
State, and it affords us pleasure to state it as our
belief, that he stands before the public fully vim
dcated by the facts which he has presented We
regret that we have not room this week 10 lay this
Defence before our readers, but we shall endcavor
to find place for it in our next. II is due TO Il
much slandered aud persecuted man that his own
statement of facts should 90 before the public at
length, and the people of the State owe it to the
cause of truth and justice 10 give him fair and
impartial hearing.
Even the Fayetteville Observer, the most recl1-
less and unscrupulous Federal print in the State,
is forced 10 confess that Capt Long has publish.
a complete cindication Of himself and even oi
his men, for diSbanding." This, coming as ii
does from Federal print, carries with it more
force in favor of Capt Longs reputation than any
thing which any Democratic paper might saw
Let the " GufoId Whig" who published in the
Register those atrocious caumnies against Capt
Long, now hide his head for shame.
The truth is, Gov. Graham and the Mexican
Preamble Legislature are to blame not only fol-
the great delay, in getting up the Regiment, bu,
for the loss to the service of this noble Company
After Capt. Long had made up and reported his
Company, he was ordered to Wilmington and
then, upon the back of this he was ordered tc
Charlotte: some forty miles beyond Salisbury and
we learn that he subsequently, received anothe,
order from Gov. Graham to march to Whining
ton Well, he went TO Charlotte, and all this
time The discussion upon that Mexican Preamble
was going on in theFI,ogislatnre or the Wings
who had the power, were refusing to appropriate
the ten thousand dollars to the Regiment, unless,
to use their own elegant language, they could
succeed in physicking the Democrats with the pill
which they had prepared If he had been per-
mitted TO march his Company, as he desired to
do at onse to Wilmington, the Regiment would
have been completed long SINCE and our brave
soldiers would now have been foremost in the glo-
rious race for The field Of conflict, with the Regi-
ments from South Carolina and Virginia but base
partizan purposes had to be advanced, and it was
important, in order to defeat an election of the
Field Officers by the rank and file, that too pIa
ces of rendezvous should be established. Two
places acere established at the request of Gov.
Graham and what prores the wicked intent is,
that rs soon the rank and file had been Caucus
ed and cheated out of their right to elect their

HEN AND CHICKENS

A writer on the subject, and let nc
one say it is not an important subject
in the Rochester American, gives the
result of his experience in economizine
ihe time with hens; and we think i
worthy of being communicated to oui
readers. All who are familiar with rear
ing chickens, know that there are very
few hens that will allow newly Matched
chickens to be committed to their care
when their own are a few days old
This the writer attributes to the fact that
the hen has become acquainted with her
own chickens, from colour, marks, &c,
and considers the new corners in the
light of intruders, which she too fire.

ate this, he puts the first hen that hatch
es into a coop, and keeps her there with
her chickens till another matches, when
he substitutes the second hen for the
first, leaving the charge of the former
and when another matches, she is put in
place Of the second, with all three broods
If the aggregate number do not ex-
coed thirty-whch he says she will take
care of uffectionately and efficiently.

BREAK. THE CRUST.

Every observant farmer must have
noticed the crust which forms on the
surface of newly stirred soils, after ly-
ing few days to the action of the dews.
A much heavier crust is formed by each
shower of rain which falls. Good and
successful cultivation requires that this
newly formed crust be often and repeat
eddy broken by the hoe, harrow, or other
instruments.
A striking instance in proof of the
importance of this practice, has just been
stated by an extensive farmer. He plan
Ted field of broom-corn, and by way
Of banter, told the man who assisted him,
that each should choose row as nearly
alike as possible, and each should hoe
his row, and the measured amount of
crop on each should be the proof which
was hoed best. Our informant stated
the result in substance as follows -" De.
termined not to be beaten, hoed my
row well, once week, for the summer.
] had not seen my assistant hoe his at
all; but had observed that for long
lime he was up in the morning before
he. At length I found him before sum
Use, hoing his broom corn, and l asked
aim how often he hoed it; he answered,
Once day, regularly" The result
of the experiment was, his row beat
nine by nearly double the amount"

Agricultural.
pLAsTER-ITs OPERATION.

We have frequently heard il asserted
by farmers, that plaster, after il had been
applied for one or two years TO crops, on
the same soil, ceases, in some instances,
70 produce any beneficial effects. LIE
BIG, in one of his able works, explains
the cause of this as follows-
"When we increase the crop Of grass
in meadow" says he, "by means of
gypsum, we remove a greater quantity
Of potash with the hay, than can, under
the circumstances, be restored; hence
Il happens that, alter the lapse of several
years, the crops of grass, on the mead
ows MANFRED with gypsum, diminish,
owing TO the deficiency of potash" If,
when we apply plaster or gypsum we
should mix common house ashes with
it, or apply ito the soil either before or
after bestowing the former, we should
find the action of the latter as energetic
in the tenth or twentieth year as in the
first, This has been demonstrated by
experiment, and those who remain scep-
teal have only 10 test the validity of the
theory to satisfy themselves of its verify.
On soils of a ciayey texture, we consider
gypsum one of the best applications.
We have tested its value in a variety of
instances, and have no scruple in recon-
mending it, especially as a manure''
for lands in grain and grass.-.Naine

How Corn should be Worked.

The cultivator is the best instrument
for tilling corn, ard no farmer should be
without it. 1t goes deep enough to e.
radicate weeds, but not so deep as to
turn up the manure which ought to be
applied to the corn crop. 1t almost dis
2enses with the labor iof the hoe. 1t
should be passed through the corn three
times in the season, for the first time as
soon as the corn is far enough advanced
for a row to be plainly distinguished.
Those not having cultvator can use a
small plough the first time, turning the
burrows from the hills. The second
time, use harrow narrow enough to pass
between the rows, furnished with han
dies. The reason for using the plow but
once is to prevent the cutting off OF the
roots of the corn which by the time o.
the second working have spread consid
erably. By any mode of culture, corr
will pay well to be gone through three
times. Leaving the ground clean fol

Salt and Charcoal for Hogs.

Swine should be literally supple d
with charcoal, also with birthstone and
salt. We do not wish it to be under
stood, however, that these articles should
be kept constantly in their troughs, or
introduced daily into their food; but the
first is necessary to correct the bad ten
dency of certain kinds of aliment, and
should be administered in quantities from
quart to two quarts, as often as once a
week. Salt should be freely gwen

An IMPROVEMENT IN BREAD MAX ING.
Persons who are SO unfortunate as to be
poorly provided with those agents OF
mastication, good teeth, will be gl',d to
know that there is method of aking
bread which obviates the necessity OF a
hard crust. The crust commonly at
tached to the loaf is not only trouble
some to such persons, but it is often the
cause of much waste. The way to be
rid Of it is as follows. When the loaves
are moulded, an d before they are sci
down to rise," take small quantity
of clean lard, wa rm it, and rub it lightly
over the loaves. The result will be a
crust beautifully soft and tender through
out. This is NJ ot guess-work.-Prair it
