EARLY SEED.--Our friends in the coun-
try would do well to notice the following,
which we clip from the Southern Miscella-
N.Y.
Every attentive observer will remark,
among the plants of almost every kind Of
crop, some individual stalks which are dis
linguishable from the other BY greater de-
gree of heal thiness, or some other peculis-
rity. A friend of ours informs us that he
remarked some years ago particular stem
of peas among his earliest crop, which came
into flower and ripened long before the
others. He marked this stem and saved the
whole of its produce for seed. These came
as much early as they had originally done.
This produce was also saved for seed, and
thus he obtained particular kind of early
peas, that came al least week before The

CAPTAIN CHARLES HANsos.-Among The
gallant officers who tell in the late battles, we
observe (says the Richmond Republican, with
deep regret the name of Capt Chas Hanson,
OF the 7lh infantry. At the beginning OF the
Mexican contest, we were favored with several
interesting and well written sketches from his
hand; but discovering The existence Of The
army order prohibiting correspondence by 9th
GERS of the army, before il was announced by
the Secretary. he apprlsed US OF The fact, and
with the nice sense of honor and a soldiers
duty which ever marked the man, laid aside
his pen. At the bjmbardment OF Fort Brown,
his GOODNESS aud inrepidity were conspicuous.
His gallanlry in the storming division Of Worth
at Monterey, won for him Captaincy. AT
Vera Cruz he fully shared the glores and
dangers of his brethren in arms, aud al CeIro
Gordo, his daring valor won the highest en-
comiums from his commanding officers, the
Colonel stating IN his report that he was one
of The first who placed his feet within the
frowning Gibraltar which rested on the summit
of that almost inaccessible mountain. A Drawer,
"A purer, and more generous spirit, never
brtathed. In one of his last letters to his
relatives, Instead Of dwelling upon his own
participation in the recent battle Of CeTro
Gordo, his mind seemed occupied with the
suilerngs OF his wounded men, and the plea
sure which he derived from seeing their hap
piness al some extra comforts which he had
been enabled to provide for them. Captain
Hanson was Que Of the most accomplished
gentlemen, as well as one Of the most chival.
rous officers, in the service; and, better than
this. amid the temptations OF the camp and
the excitement of the field, maintained 10 the
last an exalted Christian character, which
commanded the love and respect even Of those
who usually regard religion with aversion and
rdcue. Most sincerely do we sympathize
with his afflicted father, Mr.. j. X. Hanson, Of
Washington, who has lost in him one Of the
remaining props Of his old age, having already
given another gallant son to the country, Capt
w. K Hanson, who died from disease con.
lracled in glorious career in the Florida war.

A DUMB LovER.-At the time that Francis
the First, of France, was taken prisoner al
the battle OF Payla, one OF his officers, the
valorous Cheyalier Bauregard, smuen by the
charms of an Italian lady named Aurelia, OF
a noble family, declared his passion 10 her.
Aurelia, although she was battered by the
declaration, refused his prrrensions on the
ground OF the levity of the French character,
and their national mdscretion. The extreme
violence oil the chevaliers love urged him to
propose TO the lady TO try his constancy.-
Aurelia accepted the proposition, and engaged
TO marry him if he would consent TO remain
dumb for six months. The chevalier promised,
and from that moment never opened his lips.
He returned TO Paris among his friends and
relations, who lamented the singular lnhrmity
he had brought with him from the army
Bauregaid expressed only by signs, and the
physicians were sent for; he refused their as.
,isiance The captive king was al last restored
10 his people, but his joy AT his return was
diminished by the unfortunate chevaler, VINO
was honored by the kings particular trend
ship. Francis sent his best doctors 10 his
lavori,e, who this time accepted the medicine,
but with no effect. The king went SO far as
10 employ the charletans, who then, as wei
as NOW, pretended TO possess speeches Tor all
evils He then called in those who dealt in
charms, bu, all 10 no purpose. All the court
was hopeless of his cure, when fair fortune
teller presented herself. and wrote to the king
that she would undertake to restore the cheVa,
ner's speech Being sent for, she was INTRO
du,ed TO Rauregard, when she addressed him
by that word" speak," Bauregard imme.
dialely recognized in the stranger his beloved
Aurelia, who had long witnessed his conslan-
cy aud devotion. Francis was sensbly affect
ed at the event, and presented him with rich
marriage portion. -.--- -------

foreseeng that it is doomed 10 be sacrificed to
the just wrath of the People, have determined
upon providing scape- goats for the occasion,
and those scape-goas are no less personages
than our illuslrious Generals in the field
TAYLOR AND ScoTT.
Its i'll success in trying to sacrifice Taylor
after and since The battle of Monterey, does
not seem to deter il from new attempts The
only difference between its present designs
and past deeds is, that now, The whole blame
OF prolongng the war is 10 be thrown upon
the shoulders of both Scott and Taylor they
are 10 be sacrificed. to save the Administration.
II no peace follows the Trist negotiations,
Congress will be asked 10 give the President
power 10 change the Generals in the field
and the reason for this request will be. that
Taylor and Scott, by their operations, have
retarded the conquest OF peace. ..-
The New York Sun, the pander of the
Administration, has already commenced the
war upon Taylor and Scott. II boldly charges
them with the failure to make peace with the
enemy. u accuses tneW OIL WaSlelul eXpen
diture Of the public treasure, and pronounces
them unfit to lead our forces in Mexico. We
see hints Of Tins character in other subsidized
presses of the Administration, and the recen,
tone of the Union, itself, satisfies us that ii is
preparing TO re-echo the sentiments Of the
New York Sun, the moment occasion shall
require.
Il is true saying, that they who are DOOM
ed TO ruin are first made to 60 mad. Such is
the case with the Administration Ii does not
see that the whole country is looking upon its
deeds with amazement-lhat all it's acts are
perfectly understood and appreciated by the
People! There is not child in the Union,
who can read and put two and Two together,
who does not know thai, for the whole conducr
of this MEXICAN war, the President is entirely
responsible. The attempt to get out Of this
responsibility is only worthy Of the man who
plunged the country into the wal, without law
or power TO do so. The coward is ever ready
10 escape from the consequences of his own
act But Mr.. Polk may essay as he please, he
cannot shirk The responsibility OF this war and
its conduct. He is doomed man and all his
efforts to escape his DOOM will only hasten the
severity and certainty of it. .G.
