DEATH OF HON. DIXON H. LEWIS

This distinguished citizen died in New York
on Wednesday. the 25th ultimo, OF quite a
brief illness. The Journal of Commerce says
that his disease was an affection of the kid
neys. Mr.. Lewis, as the reader is doubtless
aware was, at the time OF his death, one OF
the United States Senators from Alabama. He
was 46 years old. and was supposed to be the
largest man in the Union, his weight being
nearly 500 pounds.

"evils" that will result 10 the South in the E.
vent Of the election of Gen. Taylor. We will
make few extracts from speech delivered
by the Hon. Robert Winthrop, Speaker of
the House of Representatives, at the Massa-
chuse;ts Wing State Convention. In speak
ing Of Gen. Taylor, Mr.. Winthrop says
"He does not come in, as Martin Van Bu-

regard TO all this question, both of the extern

And in speaking of the views of the Wing
party on the slavery question, he says:
They 1.-THE whigs1 are opposed to the ex-
tension OF slavery earnestly. ar1entIy, uncom-
prom;singly, and they declared themselves so.

And again, continues Mr.. Winthrop

PENNSYLVANIA.

We have just finished reading, with extreme
interest and pleasure, the " address Of the
Democratic State Central COMMITTEE" of
Pennsylvania. 1t is bold, manly, and conf
dent. The address assures the friends Of Cass
and Butler in other States, " that no single
Stale in the Union is more certain for the Dem
ocratIc nominees than Pennsylvania" The
address further asserts, rs the solemn belief OF
the authors, that Morris Longstreth has been
legally elected Governor, and that this will be
established before the Legislature The fol

spirited and soul-stirring address -

ANOTHER MEMBER RESIGNED.

Henry H. Walters, Esq, the federal Com
moner Of Brunswick county, has resigned his
seat in the next Legislature, on account of the
critical health OF his father. We see from the
last Chronicle, that D. D. Allen, Esq, has
been selected by the feds to gil the vacancy.
We also see, that Col. VIM. L. Hill has writ
ten a communication TO the Editor OF the
Chronicle, in which he expresses desire TO
fill the vacant seat. This address OF Col. HIS,
the Chronicle refuses TO publish, on account OF
its great length" We imagine that this is
not the main objection, Mr.. Chronicle. We
suspect there is something in the address
which would not sound we'll in the ears Of the
Taylor men. Do let US have the address.

Glover straw for seeding to Clover.

A hint was given, a year or two ago, in the
Albany Cultivalor, to those who get ont clover
seed, on the use of clover straw in seeding land
to clover. We not long since saw a large pile
of this material lying idle, and thought we would
repeat the hint to the proprietor. The Cultiva.
tor says il may not he known to all farmers who
raise their own clover seed, that the strs,y. after
thrcshing. contains enough seed to give a thick
seeding 10 the land, if spread over the surface,
DR.. Cooke, of Sodus Point, n. y. pursues this
practice very successfully. lie spreads a thin
coat Of the straw over the ground. as soon as
narrowed, does not injure but rather benefits the
grain, as it comes up through the straw which
afterwards decays. The seed vegetables well,
and affords a very thick growth Of clover, to use
the Dr.'s W words, "as thick as the hair on a
dogs back"
The straw that we alluded TO was threshed BY
hand, previously to carrying the claif 10 a clover
mill, and We presume that this was the case with
r'at which DR.. c. recommends to be spread up
on the gram field.

ANOTHER NEW EN- rERpRISE.
We yesterday had the pleasure of mention

we yesterday had tne pleasure OF mention
ing the arrival Of the first cargo Of ore from the
Bruce mine. We have to day to record the
opening of another channel for Canadian trade.
The Ireland, a steamer of about tlrce hundred
tons burden is now chartered. and will on Mon.
day sail from this port direct for Chicago, with
a cargo of st. Ubes salt. The charterers are
Messrs. Young, Holmes and Knapp, and we un.
derstood that they propose to forward some oil,
brandy and other articles out of bond BY the
same vessel, by way Of an experiment on the
markets of the far West. There will be some
salt fish among her cargo-of which we I'M.
derstand "A large quantity is consumed in Mich.
igan and the neighboring States, and which has
hitherto been sent by way Of New Orleans, and
the Mississippi. 1t is unnecessary TO point out
the advantage of the st. Lawrence route over
the southern one for that species of merchan.
die. There can be no doubt, that with the for.
warding facilities now possessed By our mr..
camille community, the whole OF this branch Of
trade must accrue to US. Ine vessels which
come here with fish from the Lower Ports, will
OF course always meet with cargoes Of provis.
ions for the return voyage. In this enterprise,
as in SO many others. the hand of the unskillul
legislator is perceived in the injury Of the mer-
chant. Mr.. Chrisiie's e~xertions in favor of his
oriental constituents, have saddled the importer
of cod or mackerel from Nova Scotian ports,
with a duty, which, We believe, exceeds rs per
cent. The late intercolonial acts vii, however,
set this to rights. The steamer, besides the
usual articles Of produce, will, we are told,
bring down a number of live cattle.

Potatoes among Corn a preventative Of Rot.

lowing experiment, last year, with success
The potatoes were planted at the usual season
in alternate rows with Indian Corn. The crop
poiatotsm and.was .enllrelv free from rot, while
borhood, planted in the usual way, were very
much affected with this disease.
III true that one swallow makes no summer.
nor is one successful experiment of the kind to
establish an invariablc rule, but they are both
indications worth regarding. his possible that
the corn might have kept the potatoes cooler and
thus prevented one OF the peculiar requisites for
the disease. Al any rate it is easily tried, and
if success follows the practice, great good will
be obtained, in the shape of good potatoes.

EARLY MISUNDERSTANDING
THE SOII.

IHE SOlL.
A great deal is gained by early wedding.
When weeds first start they may be easily de.
stroyed. and il the land has been recently plough.
ed and planted, it will BE- light and mellow, and
the hoeing of it at an early period requires but
little time, compared to what is necessary when
weeds have become large and almost formed a
sward, and the earth has become compact and
hard. Another disadvantage in delaying weed.
ing till late, is the hiding of the plants BY the
luxnriant weeds. In some cases the plants can
not be found without radically disturbing the
plants, which from their fragile forms, growing
in the shade OF tall weeds can hardly stand
alone.
Beside the great saving Of labor in wedding
early, there is a great advantage to the crops,
for most all plants that stand in a good soil, free
from weeds, will grow twice rs fast for stirring
the soil around them. When there are no weeds,
plants will come up. grow a little, and then re-
main almost stationary for weeks, when a little
stirring of the soil around them would give them
a start and cause a luxuriant growth. This is
often shown by part of a row or piece Of land
being Ioed while another part is left. So great
a difference is sometimes produced BY merely
stirring the soil, that the casual observer has
supposed there was a difference in the manure,
time Of planting, or something else, which he
NUuIu feHHfu IL more important tNdH Tue mere
stirring Of the soil as he would regard il.
We have an account OF a trial between two
cultivators who competed for the greater sra
cess under the same circumstance as to soil,
manure, seYd. SC. One thought to excel by
hoeipg his Ht twice u week, aware Of the rtrrt
advantage Of frequently stirring the soil ; but he
was much surprised TO find that he had been
beaten, and was anxious 10 learn the manage
ment OF his competitor, which vas his own plan
carried TO a greater extent, for he had hood his
lot every morning.
Farmers will find it profitable to prepare their
lands, and arrange their plants so that most Of
the labor in destroying weeds, and stirring the
soil, so essential to successful cultivation, NAV
be done by animal labor. In this there will
not only be a saving of expense. but a greater
profit by n large crop, for by the Use of a culti-
vator or plough between rows, the soil will be
stirred deeper than by the hoe, ard it may BE-
done more frequently also. A good steady horse,
in a well arranged field, in the hoeing season
will do as much as several men.

to-day. There have been fraudulent cleo
TONS wrote he "as Minister OF the Interior
! have a right to demand time in order 10 verify
the votes submitted to the different Mairies."-
Lamartine, upon the receipt OF this message,
Immediately convoked a meeting Of the Govern
ment at his own residence at tine Afftircs Etran-
CERES. At this meeting it was decided that the
delay in the opening of the Chambers would be
OF serious injury to the country by contributing
TO create nneasiness, and TO destroy the conf
dence which was but just beginning to be re-
stored. 1t is said that, in addition to the polite
and gentlemanly note in which Lamartine con-
veyed this deci sion to the Minister Of the Inte-
rior, the latter received, at the same time, an
other one from the rough pen of Caussidiere,
couched in something like these terms =
There have been discovered no fraudulent
votes but those obtained in your favor. The
electors in the hospitals, to whom you sent
pour canvassers, were some of them delirious
and others dying" The method of obtaining
votes here mentioned was certainly resorted &c
by Ledru Rollin, and his CONSERVATION was SC

profound secret, that he quietly withdrew al

The Boat Horn.
BY GEN. WILLIAM o. BrTLtR.

o, boatlnan! wind that horn again,
For never did the list'ning air
Upon its Joyous bosom bear
So wild, so soft. so sweet q strain
What though thy notes are sad and few,
BY every simple boatman blown,
Yet is rach pulse to nature true,
And melody in every tone
How oft IN %hoyhood's Joyous day,
unmindful Of the lapsing hours,
I've loitered on my homcwnrd way
BY wild Ohio's brink of flowers,
While some lone boatman from the deck
Poured his soft numbers to that tide,
As if TO charm from storm and wreck
The boat where all his fortunes ride
Delighted Nature drank the sound,
Enchanted echo bore it round
In whispers soft and softer still,
From hill TO plain and plain TO hill,
Till cen the thoughtless, frolic boy,
Elate with hope, and wild with Joy,
Who gamboled by the rivers side,
And sported with the fre,ting tide,
Felt something new pervade his breast,
Change his light step, repress his lest,
Bent Ger the flood his eager ear
To catch the sounds far off, vet dear
Drank the sweet draught, but knew not why
The tear OF rapture fill'd his eye,
And can he now to manhood grown,
Tell why those notes, simple and lone
As on the ravished ear they fell,
Bound every sense IN magic spell.
There lie a Tide of feeling given
To all on earth, its fountain Heaven,
Beginning with the dewy flower,
Just ope'd in Flora's vernal bower
Rising creations orders through
With louder murmur, brighter hue
That tide is sympathy its ebb and flow
Gives life its hues, its joy and wo.
Music, the master spirit that can move
Its waves TO war, or hull them into love-
Can cheer the sinking sailor mid the wave,
And bid the soldier on nor fear the grave
Inspire the tainting pilgrim on his road,
And elevate his soul TO claim his God.
Then boatnen wind that horn agarn
Though much Of sorrow mark its strain,
Yet are its notes 10 sorrow dear
What though they wake fond memory's tenr
Tears are sad nemory's sacred feast,
And rapture oft her chosen guest.

The Happy Farmer.

Saw ye the Farmer at his pillow,
AZ you were riding by 7
Or vearied meath his MONDAY toll,
When summer sun was high
And thought you tina, his lot was hard,
And did You thank your God,
That you and yours were not CONDEMNED
Thus like a slave to plod
Come see him at his harvest home,
When garden, field and tree,
Conspire with flowing stores to fill
His barn and granary.
His beautiful children gaily sport,
Amid the new mown hay,
Or proudly mid with vigorous orm,
His task as best they may.
The dog partakes his masters Joy,
And guards the ioaded vain,
The feathery people clap their wings,
And lead their youngling train.
Perchance the hoary grandsirc's eye
The glowing scene surveys,
And breathes a blessing on his rnce,
Or guides their evening praise.
Their Harvest Giver is their friend,
The maker of the soil,
And cath, the mother, gives them bread,
And cheers their patient toll.
Come, join them round their win,ry hearth,
Their heartfelt pleasures see,
And you can better Judge how blcst
The Farmers life may be.
