as to their good conduct than anything can now
say.
| The battle of Buena Vista, under the circum-
stances under which it was fought, was one of the
most trying situations in which a soldier can be
placed. l may say, indeed, that 1 fought that
battle with halter about my neck. had been
advised to fall back and occupy Monterey which,
as before stated, l declined and had been I'M
successful this advice would have been brought
up in judgment against me. l declined that ad-
vice because believed the result would have
been as disastrous as defeat Had fallen back
to Monterey, the whole country about me, upon
which was greatly dependant for forage would
have flown to arms. Once confined in Monterey
the volunteers, to say nothing of the effects of the
retreat upon them, would have become sickly and
dIspirited; and deprived of all means of obtain
ing supplies, and particularly forage, should
soon have not had dragon or artillery horse in
my command, and would therefore have been
compelled ultimately to surrender unless the siege
could have been raise d by the return of General
Scott from Vera Cruz with the troops under his
command
The battle of Buena Vista was fought on
our side by about $50 regulartroops and some
thing upwards of 1000 volunteers, while they
we're opposed by at least 10000 of the enemy;
and had we lost the day, | feel that tne whole
responsibility of the misfortune would have
Idilen upon my shoulders. 1 Ell DO not wish
here to censure those who placed us in that
critical situation whether they deserve blame
or not, leave for others to determine. Those
who had control over my fate in this transac-
ton may have friends here present in whose
good opinion | would not harm them. For
my own part, am satisfied to hope and be-
lieve that it was all the result of accident, rath-
er than design on their part.
In conclusion, beg to return to you, to my
fellow citizens of Harrison county, and partic-
ularly to my fair courtrywomen here assem-
bled, my heartfelt thanks for the cordial re-
ceptiOn which they have this day extended 10
me.

DANIEL WEBSTER'S FARM.

The great defender of the Constitution, -
it is well known, prides himself as much upon
his skill aud reputation as Farmer, as he
does upon all the fame which he has acquired
as Lawyer, Statesman or Diplomatist. Eve
ry body has heard of his great Farm, of one
thousand acres or more, at Marshfeld ; so
they have of his old homestead at Franklin
Both are among the very best in New Eng
land, and the only wonder is that man pos
sessing two such pleasant retreats, should con-
sent to spend half his time away from them, a.
mong the dust and dirt, the knavery and in
tligues of Washington. But it is of neither
of these farms we now speak About half
way from Meredith Bridge to Meredith Vii
lage, on the old stage road, near what is called
the "Parade," Mr.. Webster has another Farm,
which is undoubtedly to him " an older" if not
" "a better" possession, than either of the 9TH
ers And there is story about it, too, which
is worth repeating. Some thirty-fve or forty
years ago, when Mr.. w. was a younger man
than he is now, and a practicing attorney in
Portsmouth, he held an execution against an
Individual on the Parade" in satisfaction of
which nice little place. five acres, more
or leSS"-as it was representatives, set off
to him. Sometime after, while journeying
with his family in the interior, Mr.. Webster
concluded to ride up and see his Il" nice little
place." with the tenant who occupied it
Climbing over the long hills, which intervene
between the " Bridge" and the Parade" he
at length reachedit, when he found-a log hut
with about half an acre of the veriest trash
in the shape of rocks and bushes TO be seen a.
nywhere in the Granite State This was the
extent Of his "nice little place"-very nice,
undoubtedly, to hold the world together, but
of no conceivable utility for any other pur-
pose. Without alighting from his carriage,
the Lord of the y. nor" called the old lady,
whom he found in possession as tenant, to the
door, and after sundry queries as TO wheth-
er size Paid her rent regularly, and if not,
whether she should not be turned off the place,
&c., and the old dame protesting that she was
poor and unable to pay-that she had heard
the owner was ga very clever SOUL" and did
MT believe he would be so cruel as to turn her
out of house and home, SC. &C., Daniel pull
ed a sum of money from his pocket, and assur-
ing his tenant that he knew the owner very
well, told her to occupy the premises as long
as she could afford to for the money he gave
her, and be sure and take good care Of them
Whether Mr.. W. has ever visited his nice
little place" since, we know not but it still
remains in his possession, and is known in the
region round about as Daniel Webster's

POTATO DIGGING.

We have for some time thought of CIV
ing little advice to our readers in regard
to the time of digging potatoes and the
mode of keeping these roots, but we are
not certain that we can point out any mode
that will prove effectual TO keep them from
ro,ting after they are dug.
Before any fields were infected with rot
it was the practice of many to put potatoes
into the cellar as soon as they were dug
not suffering the sun 10 come to them
when this could be avoided. And now
we are satisfied that 10 potatoes are Sc
sweet as those that have been kept from
the sun and the air.-But since so many
potatoes have rotted in the cellar II has be-
come necessary TO adopt some different
mode Of keeping them.
1t is known to old farmers that there is
much risk incurred when potatoes are put
into the cellar in large heaps, while the
weather is warm. This has ever been the
case before rot was heard Of Heat and
moisture always favor an inclination to rot.
And tho drying them before they are pnt
into cellars Injuries their favor, we cannot
doubt that there is less danger in storing
them after they have had the sun for one
day than when they are carted in fresh
from the field.
We have thought also that less risk is
incurred when they are put on floors, in
small heaps, or in barrels, than when put
in large heaps on the cellar bottom. And
we now urge our readers not to make
large heaps of potatoes in any case. There
can be no doubt that small heaps are bet
ter.
In regard to the safety of cellars com-
pared with barn floors, al this season of
the year, a farmer from Chelsea tells US
that those which he put in his barn three
weeks ago, spread on a floor, have rotted
much while those put INTO his cellar, in
as large heaps, have shown no signs Of rot.
All were dug at the same time, and from
the same lot.
Some nice observers recommend to pull
up the vines that are blasted and burn
them, leaving the potatoes in the hills till
the weather is Cooler. This is done to
prevent all communication between the
poisoned stalk and the bulb. This is
practiced on the same principle as cutting
down the vines with a scythe when the
signs of blasting first appear.
And if the blast is owing to some poi
sonous insect on the vines, cutting them
off, or pulling them up and apart from the
bulb would seem to be Of use.
Some farmers have dug their potatos
early in hopes TO secure them before any
rot should affect the roots. But as they
cannot be so well kept out of the ground
as in the hill where they grow, it would
seem a better plan TO cut off, or to pull
out the tops, than to dig very early for stor-
ing.
Almost every theory regarding the cause
of the rot is met by facts wholly inconsis-
tent with it. We are at total loss for a
cause. unless it be some poisonous insect
that preys upon the vines.-Mass. Plough

AGRICULTURAL.
FALL PLOUGHING.

November is the best time, SAYS cores
pendent of the Albany Cultivator, for plough
in lands that are TO be planted the next
spring l am on the borders of controversy in
making this statement, but it seems to me that
the following advantages arise from the prac-
tce:-
lst. At this season the team is stronger, and
the weather more favorable for breaking up
gras. land than in the spring.
ID. As the spring of the year is the most
hurrying season to the farmer, it is great
help 10 him to have the ploughing done the
fall previous.
81. In turning the land over so late in the
season, nothing green starts up, and the frosts
OF the winter Immediately following, the grass
roots are kilied-the surface, also exposed to
the action of the frost, is mellowed, and in the
spring the land will be Invested of every thing,
and crumble down before the harrow as fine
as garden bed. The labor in planting and
wedding the corn and potatoes is considerably
lessered b. this means.
4th. The winter arrangements of the worms
