Hotc to Conduct Newspaper l756, Doctor Federal Union, giving him directions how to con- duet newspaper in such manner as to make it innocent, useful and entertaining The paper is very interesting one, and may be read with in ,truc ton at the present day.
 Never suffer your paper to be vehicle of private scandal personal disputes. IT ihe faults of public officers are exposed let it be done with decency.-- No has right to attack the folIies or vices of private citizens in newspaper. Should you, un- der false idea of preserving the liberty of the press, lay open the of families and thereby wound female honor and deIicacy, hope our le- gslatures will repeal the law that relates to assault and battery, and that the liberty of the budgeou will be as sacred and uniyeasaI in osr country, as your liberty of the press.
 Never publish an article in your paper that you would not wish your wife or daughter, it you have any, should read or understand.
 The less you publish about yourself, the better. What have your readers to to with the neglects or insults that offered 10 you by your fellow ci. Eensf If printer ofends you, attack him in your paper, because he can defend himself with the same weapons with which you wound him. Type against type is fair play If you had been in twenty Bnaks.s Hi! hs.!les instead Of ee and had fo forty dnes in the bargain, and were afterwards to revenge an affrOnt, unPon man who was no, a printer, in newspaper, would dot believe that you possessed particle of true courage.
 Let the advancement Of agriculture, mauGi iac- lures, and commerce, be the principal objects of your paper. A receipt to destroy the insects that feed upon turnips, to prevent the rot in sheep, will be more useful in America, than all the inyen- tons for destroying the human species, which so often fill the columns of European newspapers.

Of the three sons at home, one is aphysician, the others are young men of 20 and l T. Mir. Calhoun has upon his table everything of southern production, but is himself spare eater The view from his house commands distant moun- tain ranges, 40 and 60 miles away. His study is 20 feet south of his mansion, has but room and one door His library is not large, but choice, and most of the books relate to the Union and her in terests. The key of this building he keeps always under his immediate control when al home. No one enters it but himself, unless he is there. His house stands on the Senaca river, 1000 feet above the level of the sea, and 200 feet above the river- the place. The largest part of his negroes in Alabama, where he owns large cotton plantation, under the management of his eldest son. Mir. Cal houn has peculiar manner of ditching, drainage, and planting of such utility that his neighbors gard his amodel farm. His crops represen ted far before those of any other cutyator in that zion of country. His farm is known as Fort Hill, from fort which once stood there in the time of the revolutionary war. MT.
