CURING HAMS FOR PRIVATE USE.

A correspondent of the Bradford Reporter
furnishes the following recipe for curing
hams;-l turn my barrel over pan or ket-
lie, in which burn hard wood for seven or
eight days; keeping little warm water on
the head of the barrel, and prepare a pickle
by putting six gallons Of water in a4boier,
with u lbs. of salt, 1s ounces of salt petre,
ard two quarts of molasses This stir suiIi-
cienily to dissolve the salt, &c, and let it boil
and skim it. then let it cool and pour it on
my hams, and in one week have smoked
hams, very tender, Of an excellent flavor, and
well smoked. When the weather becomes
warm there will a scum arise on the pickle.
By keeping my hams under pickle, it will
keep the year round. II is better 10 have a
good oak barrel than any other Try it, and
you will have meat smoked earlier after
killing, and more palatable than by any other
method.

followed his words, aud his men rushed
forward, eager for the ensuing combat. AT
the first volley, more than one hundred of
these red skins (which formed the advance
guard OF the enemy were welterng in their
blood The enemy were quietly reposlng
in their camp, but in an instant the whole
army Of the enemy was appriscd of the as
sault, and from all sides they rushed upon
the gallant little corps. The sun rose,
spreading its anmating beams upon the eX
hausted Germans. who in a moment made
arrangements to take the stand behind a
row OF ruins, and to wait for the approach
Of their enemies The first assault of the
enemy was repuIsed, ard many k&sed the
earth in death, caused by the dense drift Of
bullets sent forth from behind the entrench-
mentS.
The mockery about this powerful resis-
tance and bravery, which the appearance of
the little band so openly demonstrated to-
wards the enemy, soon engaged its whole
army in a furious combat, but they were
not able to stand their ground against the
discharge of the pieces Of the little band,
which ratting, cleared their ranks. Re-

the fight, the enemy could not gain foot
Of ground, although their guns began to
clear the ranks of their powerful antago-
nists. During twelve long hours, these
German Spaatans manfaly resisted the su-
prrior force of the enesAy.
Finally, and with the last glowing ofthe
setting sun, the fate OF the day was decided,
300 Germans had fallen in defence Of their
adopted country; and 90 more lay badly
wounded, who would not seek for quarter,
and still striving to make last effort a.
gainst the enemy, who seeing their deter
minaton, had almost been driven to mad
ness on account of bravery.
What noble military achievement, !,
What perSeverng heroism. Hrd these
men been .Americans, they would up to this

patent OFFICE REPORT.
The SFEAGER announced the unfinished
business OF tie morning hour to be the mo.
ton, heretofore made by Mr.. McLANE, of
Maryland, TO reconsider the vote by which
the House had rejected the following resolu-
tion:
Rasolved, That thirty thousand copies Of
the mechanical portion, and that seventy
thousand copies Of the agricultural portion
of The Patent-Otiice Report be printed,
Mr.. CASEY obtained the floor and said /:
Mr., SPEAKER | desire TO make a few re-
marks in answer TO the objections that Lave
been urged against the consideration of he
vote upon ,his resolution. And shall vote
for it, with an entirely different objec, in
view, than that entertained and expressed
BY the gentleman from Maryland MIR. Me
Lancl lie appears 10 think that there is
danger Of increasing the patronage oi mem
bcJs upon this floor, and that it may be eX-
ercised for improper or unworthy purposes
The gen,leman's objection proceeds upon the
ground, thai gentlemen win distribute this
document exclusively TO members Of their
own political party, and that the other peo.
pie Of the districts will be debarred from
any participation in the benefits of this pub
lie expenditure. What has been the com
mou or general practice among members
upon This subject cannot say, bat can speak
for luy own district, which has 0een for the
lasl 1--WE years, represented 10y an able gen,
! tlemaa Hon. James Pollock who occupied
seat on this side of the hall, and you will

pies have been sent, sir, to those who, it was
! believed, would make good use of them, tc
the improvement Of their farms and stock
and the advancement Of the great Interests
o! agriculture in their vicinity and commu
nifty.
Another objection urged is, that it canno
be distributed 10 all, and therefore concludes
that none ought to have it. Why, asks Tho
gentleman from North Carolina, [Mr. Vena
ble,I should one man have the report in pre-
ference 10 another! answer, there is nont
in the world, except that it would be utterl,
impnclicable 10 publish and distribute s.

does not receive a copy of this report, it doe
not follow that they derive no adyantag
from it, So far, sir, from this being the cas-
the very opposite is true. Ofthe information

THE STORMS AND STARS OF MARCH.
BY THE REV. JAMES CHLORINE LYONS, D. D.

by THE REV. JAMES CHLORINE LYONS, D. D.
Harsh is the voice and loud the war
OF storms in that unrenial time,
When leaving Southern lands afar.
The sun wakes up our Northern cline:
The long white surges of the deep
1hen break on every wailmg shore,
Aud, loamng down each rocky steep
The mountain torrents rage aud roar.
Like rapiers driven with veugeral thrust,
On breast and brow the cold winds beat,
Aud the fierce hail, or loubIed dust.
Sweeps the rough road and echoina street ,
The groaning woods are bleak aud bare,
The violet slumher. yet unseen,
And the wide fields aud pastures wear
No welcome lint of early green.
But GoD with all a Fathers love,
When earth thus reit ol beauty lies,
Reveals in blazing pomp above
The wonders OF His radiant skies -
Look thou on Night reiulgent arch,
When that rude hour thy 9ladness mars,
And thou shalt find in raging March.
The month al once of storms and stars.
For 10! the great Orion burns,
Descending in the cloCdess west,
And red Arctuus now returns,
Beaming at eve a sacred ruesti
Far up in the circles broad and bright,
The Bear and Lyon move and shine,
While Sirius lifts his orb of light,
And fills our hearts with thoughts divine,
Thus, ever thus, when storms arise,
And all is dark and joyless here,
He sets before our longing eyes
The glories Of that lofty sphere
When sorey tried we orieve alone,
Or sink beneath expressions rod,
He whispers from His starry throne,
"Look up, o man 4And trust in God

The Presidents Message.

We devote large space in our paper of to-
day TO such comments of the press as have
reached us up to this time on the Annual Mes
sage of the President of the United States 1t
is probable that never since the presidential
term Of General WAsHINGroN has an execu-
tive message been received with such general
cOmmendation and favor. 1t is due to our po-
litical opponents to say, that their patriotism on
this occasion, which has been doubtless elected
from grave considerations, is worthy of all
praise.
Great credit is also awarded to the President
for his well-timed deviation from usage in send
ing the message to Congress on the first, in
stead Of the second day of the session.
The effect of the Message on the public
mind, at time like the present, when the
State authorities of South Carolina and Missis-
sppi are making such bellicose demonstrations,
may be judged by the information communi-
Gated to us by correspondent at New York,
who informs us that as soon as the Message was
distributed in that city the stocks of nearly
every kind experienced rise.
The republic., 1850-12-05
From the MGrtins5tHg (Td.) Gazette

The immense demonstrations in every part Of
the country in favor Of UsoS the degree Of enthu-
siasm which prevails, the une1ceptionable resolu-
tions which passed, cheering evidences that
"thc crisis is not yet" and "proofs strong as
holy writ that the peope-that portion Of the pop
ulation Of the United States who are really inter
ested-are satisfied with the measures which Con-
gress at its late session has proper mete
10 them. And while it seems to be the purpose of
few in each section Of the country 70 excite and
influence the other, their efforts have been met with
"thrce cheers for the Union" and the sound thereof
has been prolonged and reverated from North 10

Till the dweers in the wales,
