AN OLD SoLDmR.-The old veteran
noticed in the following paragraph from
the Cincinnati Commercial, is probably
the oldest revolutionary soldier in the
country, and may almost be termed the
Coolest inhabitant."
There is now living one-half mile a
bove the ,oll-gate, Fulton, an old %revolu-
%tionary soldier named Benjamin Vests.
He was born in Baltimore county, Mary
land, in 1876, and is therefore Ill years
old.-He was tn the battles of Yorktown,
Paoli, Brandywine, and several others.
He was present at the taking of Corn
wallas. At Yorktown he was wounded
in the hip by a she'll. This wound is
now troublesome, otherwise the old vete-
rams health is good. He can see to read,
and walks out daily. He is active-ex-
ceedingly so for a man of his advanced
AGE.

Newly Discovered Uses Of the Sum
flower.

Those most experienced in the cult
vation Of this plant are sanguine that,
with a proper soil and proper cultivation,
1t IS more proftable than wheat or Corn.
The seeds are more oleaginous than those
of the flax plant, and combine the quail
ties for tablc use of the best olive oil; for
burning, of the best sperm, without its
smoke; and for painting, it is said by pain
tiers who have used tito be superior to lin
seed, and it is more rapid in drying, O.
qually easy in spreading, and without
forming a much denser coat. Prepared
and eaten as a%rtichokes, the young cups
of this plant are very esculent and pleas
ing TO the palate; aud the stocks are an
excellent substitute for hemp or flax, and
for bee pasturage it is equal to any plant,
yielding, from its luscious and numerous
hectares, an abundance of the best and
most palatable honey. A writer in one
of our agricultural exchanges, says that,
on suitable soil, with proper cultivation,
it will yield on an average, from eighty
to one hundred bushels of seed TO the
acre. From five to seven quarts of oil
are calculated on per bushel. If this is
not over estimating its productivencss,
and it can be raised as cheaply as wheat
or Indian corn, ordinarily considered the
most expensive crops cultivated the Sun
flower must be q very profitable produc-
ton. We have, heretofore, cultivated it
on a small scale, usually in vacant spots,
by the fences and in places where the
cultivation Of other vegetables was inelli-
gible, and SO far as our experience goes,
it corroborates the above assertions. We
find that the green leaves are very excel
lent fodder for cows, especially when
they feed in our pastures gets low in sea-
sons of scarcity and drought. Wegener-
ally commence plucking them in July,
taking the lower leaves first, and feeding
them out at night, or, if the scarcity OF
feed is great, in the morning before
turning them from their yards. We have
sometimes given them corn toppings and
the leaves of the sunfiower at the same
time, and have found that the latterare in
variably preferred, The seed of the sun
aoweris a most desirable foodforpoultry,
its highly oleagenous nature wholly SUI
perseding the necessity of animal food.

Mr.. Hale,

This gentleman spent the last Saturday and
Sunday in this city, and left Monday morning on
his way to Washington. He expected to lecture
Monday and Tuesday evenings, before the Ly-
ceums in Springfield and New Haven. Our
Presidential candidate is in good health and spi-
rits and feels deeply the responsibility of his po-
stion. Our friends may be assured that he takes
his seat in the Senate this winter, with the de-
termination to do all in behalf of human freedom
which can reasonably be expected of a compare
lively young man, and new member, at his first
session who enters that body under circumstan-
ces of peculiar personal embarrassment, at a
time of great national excitement and distraction
and who has not single party colleague to sup
port him, but stands in hostility to the two lead
ing parties Of the country, as the representative
of radical reformatory movement which aims
to overthrow them both Under ordinary cir
cumstances, such a member might we'll be ex-
cused from opening his mouth during the first
session. But, discarding all considerations mere
ly personal Mr. Hale will no doubt embrace the
first proper occasion to express his views on
some one of the vital questions which now agtate
the nation.
To those who know Mr. Hale, we need not take
pains to say, that he expressed to us his hearty
concurrence in all the resolutions adopted by
the Buffalo convention. We make the statement
to calm any apprehensions in the minds of some
of our friends who do not know him.
Important professional engagements in the N
Hampshire courts, will call MIR Hale home fol
some ten days in the latter part of January. The
state committee will call our annual Liberty state
convention at Boston, about that time, say the
Goth and 9th of January and Mr. Hale has pro
missed to be present and participate in its pro
ceedings. Due notice will be given of the time
Will not some of our friends in the other New
England states meet with us and him!-Emanc;
potor.

Unnecessary.

"Thlnk of newspaper in Kentucky, uttering such
truths, and breathing such spirit and circulated ex
tenslVely not only in that State, but in Virginia, Ma
ryland, Tennessee, and other slaveholding states "a
newspaper, too that stands alone, Independent of all
associations that might limit its influence or pervert it
to other purposes. In this respest it has greatly the
advantage of the Washington Era."-Yamont Clron-
icte.
With the exception of the four journals which rep
resent Mr. Garrsons policy in relation to the slavery
question: the Vermont Chronicle, paper which has
been somewhat noted for its hostility to the Anti Sa
very movement in the free States, is the only paper
which has attempted to play off the Examiner against
the Era. To save these journals unnecessary trouble
we may as well inform them that there is no kind OF
antagomsm between the Examiner and Ea-that their
euorS are OLD friends and understand each other per
1ecty-that, IN consultation on the subject we most
rongly approved of the determination of the editor

he thinks the time has come for such movement
We hone the Chronicle will not lose its good opinion
Of the Er1mner when it shall be connected with such
an ssociation.--.Natonat Era.
The foregoing remarks of the Era, although exceed
inply well put, are nevertheless somewhat ungenerous
inasmuah as the Chronicle ought to be allowed to ex
trcae tseffrom its present unfortunate dilemma with
out an honest and ingenious confession of former er-
ror. and promise of future amendment After having
reared itself like moral iceberg for the last ten years
apainst the rising spirit of Freedom and Humanity,
how much more dignfed now to throw up its hat and
exu over the establishment of an ant-savery paper
in Kentucky, than to acknowledge it-as it really is
the legitimate fruit of years of toll selfdenial and
reproach of that very class which has rested under the
ban of the Chronicle and its kindred? With how
much more grace can the Chronicle now Indignantly
promuge that "christany is everywhere and every
when opposed to slavery" than it can eat the cold
sneers and back-handed invectves with which it has
so long followed those who declared slaveholding and
shareholders to be sinful and abominable in the
sight of God? With what priestly dignity can it now
read theological lecture to the 'congregatonasts Of
Connecticut" for voting against giving colored men
their civil rights, compared with an open-heared con-
fession that it has for years spread far and wide
influence chilling as the frosts of death against eve
ry aspiration of the millions of slaves in our land fol
the rights and digntes of humanity?
Public Sentiment is getting right upon this grea
subject. Of course the Vermont Chronicle must CONT
right also. But we do think the golden rule wonl'
require that paper of such dignity and standing shou
be allowed an entrance into the anti-slavery Kingdom
by less humiliating door than the usual one of re
pentance md reformation.

TAYLOR Meeting,

They had a great Taylor Meeting at Mont
gomery the new Capital of Alabama, on the
10Th inst.-J. NJ Newman (Democrat) in the
chair, with tesseIated array of Wing and Dem
ocratic speakers. The Resolutions we're pre-
scented by DR.. S. G. Oliver, Wing, and com
menced by sonorous expressions of love for the
Constitution, the Country, and all that, decar-
ing
" LIST. That we have assembled expressly for
the purpose of responding to and cooperating
with our patriotic fellow-ctizens who through
out the confederacy are presenting Gen. Zachary
Taylor without distinction of parties or geo
graphical localities, as the peoples candidate for
the next Presidency"
This sounds we'll But let us look ahead
Z" Sd. That fearful crisis, threatening to in
volve the North and the South in geographical
antagonist, (headed as it is by many of the mas.
ter minds Of the country and aided by fierce
faction and boding evil for the future, require
Republican of the old school, free from the
shackes and acrimony of party-one who hal
fast hold on the heart of the nation-one whost

GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN.

And, says the Montgomery Journal (Whg,)
After the conclusion of DR.. divers remarks,
which were received with enthusiasm, Thomas
H. Watts of this country, Thomas ]. Judge of
Lowndes and Samuel S. Beman, Esq. of Wet
umpka were successfully called out, and IN
speeches of glowing eloquence endorsed the SEN
timents of the resolutions, the duty of THE SOUTH
to sustain in this crisis, without distinction OF
party. a Southern man of the old Republican
school and of American feelings. The space
allotted for a report will not allow even brlel
sketch of their eloquent remarks"
" Hon. James E. BeIser and Hon. VIM H.
Yancey (late Democratic NJ. C's) were then
loudly called for to which Mr.. Belser promptly
responded, and remarked that he fully concurred
in the sentiment of the resolutions, and that on
the grounds on which Gen. Taylor came before
the people as a man not bound by party cliques,
he was his preference before all others-that he
aDdS the candidate for THE SOUTH and the crisis,
and that party considerations at such moments
were of secondary consideration. The remarks
of Mr. Belser were in the highest degree anima-
ting and patriotic, and awoke an intense enthu-
siasm among the auditory"
" Hon H. w billiard (Whig M. C) was
then called for, who responded eloquently in the
same spirit He said that the resolutions met
his warm and entire sancton-that it was well
known that his first choice had always been
Henry Clay, but he promptly yielded it, believ
ing that Gen Taylor was the only Southern man
who could be elected-that his character anC
the whole history of Gen. Taylor was a suficien
guaranty of his eminent ability; patriotism anC
desire to administer the government on such prin
ciples which will conSer0e the South and TIN
Union. His remarks were loudly cheered, ant
were received with high satisfaction by the au
dience."
Mr.. John Gilmer of Mississippi, who wa
present. was called on, and addressed the meet
ing very forcibly and animatedly in furtheranc
of the resolutions"
"The chair, (Mr. Newman,) in response to
call, spoke with much earnestness and force, an
declared that, come veal come woe, even if h
r was obliged to abandon his party (the Admin
E tration, and his old political friends, he shouI
