COL CAPRON ON THE RENOVATION "a
WORKOUT LANDS.

DEAR SIR,-I have frequent letters from
different parts Of this State and Virgin
asking my experience as to the effects
different manures-pa particularly Gnanq
and Of nv success in renovating these v
out lands, the modus opcrt.'.-z;, g.
Now my farming operations being
secondary consideration in my general
ness, cannot spare the time from Il
Their occupations to answer in detail tn
various communications, and therefore hal
concluded to reply to them generally ,throug
your very valuable paper, and hope it ma
reach through this channel every one Of M
correspondents. For to this paper, and O.,
ther agricultural publications: together with
natural fondness for the pursuit, am In
debted for whatever success have met with.
You know my whereabouts in this desert
of old fields, gullies and poverty grass, and
are we'll acquainted (as who is not, who has
ever travelled from the city of Baltimore to
the seat of Gevernmen) with the total bar
renness of the land, generally. Therefore,
need say but little on the general character
of the land to start with; and will begin
bv giving the reasons for my first attempt-
ing, what appeared a, tina, time, Herculean
task, the renovation of these barren old
fields.
Having been reared amidst the green
fields and lowering herbs in one OF the most
fertile regions in the State of New York;.
could not look upon the barren face of this
country, without its producing feeling of
melancholy. came to the conclusion it
would never do for me, to plant myself
down here with the expectation of making
it permanent residence, with such pros
pect always before me; therefore resolv-
ed either to change the general aspect of the
country, in this respect, or leave it. The
former appearing the most feasible, made
the effort, and have the satisfaction to say,
that as far as the vision extends from my
residence, have succeeded.
This country with all its faults, has re-
deeming qualities. Favored with Heaven s
greatest blessings, universal health and a
never-faling supply fthe purest spring wa
ter-with soil possessing naturally the ell
emen,s of fertility, beautiful rolling sur
face covered with clumps of trees, which fo1
richness and variety of foliage, and beau
of proportions landscape or
poses, cannot be surpassed in
Iitis not indebted TO heaven f0
appearance, but to that
cultivation too generally -
Of the Southern States.
There are two ways, Mr.. F.
ovaling these old fields, one

constituted. Every full moon have an at
tack of the blue devils. Why cruel fate has
thus decreed know not. ] sometimes think
myself lunatic, and others believe have
come to the same sage conclusion. | am
now hard pressed by my old enemy, and
by way Of shaking himsf, | am forced to
note down the suggestions of confused
mind.
The first idea then which pops into my
head is the table-talk of party OF old maids,
assembled at gunpowder- tea dink-
ing, at which was an honored guest. 1t is
well known, believe, that this portion of
our fair sex, without an exception, are much
addicted to the habit of tea drinking. They
cling with greater tenacity to their favorite
beverage, than does the topper to his grog'
the smoker to his pipe, or the chewer to his
tobacco. | cannot account Why all old
maids should be so fond of tea, unless it ex-
erts peculiar soothing influence over their
temperaments, which at this time of life are
rather excitable and morose But then this
surmise as to the cause, cannot be entertain
ed when we look at the effects. Younever
saw an old maid steamed up with Young
Hyson, Rohea, or Imperial, that had not
greater volubility of tongue than ever, and
that was not more disposed to do greater
injustice to all things around her. How and
why this is ] know not, but still, it is fact
which must be conceded, that all old maids
are proverbially fond Of tea.
Well to proceed-l had just returned from
pleasant walk the other afternoon, when
upon my table | found a nicely folded note,
written in fair hand and addressed to my
self. 1t ran thus

his Marshas," "Sacred Mountains" "Letters from
Italy," &C., &c. We hazard nothing in saying that
this Magazine is destined to ill large place in pub
lie estimation; that it will not on maintain its pre-
sent enviable reputation but earn for itself high
er popularity, and become the companion Of many
a circle to which it is a stranger, gladdening by
its presence, while it eXerts an influence pure ele
waiting, and hcalthful The editor will bend his en-
ergies to make this the most popular Magazine of
the day, and while availing himself Of assistance
from the best writers, he will draw freely from his
own exhaustless store.
It will continue to maintain its high moral tone,
and nothing will be admitted into its columns which
will minister to the corrupt passions and tendencies
of youth, which the author 'dying would wish to
blot"
The design is to offer the public Magazine con-
tanning all the attraction and interest of the lighter
periodicals, while it moves in a different path, and
is not exposed to the same objections. 1t is issued
monthly, containing 80 pages of original NATTER
printed on fine paper in handsome covers, with q
splendid steel engraving and coored flower in each
number with occasional music and is got up in ev-
cry respect in the best style of the art, making
yearly volume of 3S4 pages full of choice llustra-
tions, and forming an elegant ornament to the paror
table, or rich and valuable present to a friend.

We take this method to inform the Public
that an erroneous impression has gone forth
that the Stage Co, Qlnown as COOKE, FIELD

taking away from us the mail which we have
formerly carried for them on Route No 341 ;
from Rochester ". to 7TcOnderoga ~ Y via
Brandon and OrwcU To Correct such i'm
preston we feel bound to say, that there has
been no wrong or oppression on their part
in the premises, but that they have at all
times treated us in an honorable and gentle
manly manner; and in our Settlement have
done all for us, we could reasonably ask or
expect; and we have only further to say that
it has been an unfortunate move Oh our part
in first taking the mail, as the Expense of
running, has involved us deeply in debt, from
which we design to extrIcate ourselves in the
most honorable way possible.
