which will doubtless be in the course of next

A SALT DESERT. &c.-Capt. S,ansbu

A SALT DESERT, &c.-Capt. Stansbury,
who is engaged in survey TO the country
surrounding The Salt Lake, lately sent home
some dispatches, in hich he gives the fol-
lowing account Of IL remarkable salt plain:
In an estimated distance Of one hundred
any fifty miles, on one part Of the route, fresh
water ard grass were found only in one spot
about midway os this stretch, and we were
obliged TO subsist our animals that is. to keep
lite in them, by serving them out Il pint OF WA
ter each night and morning. taken from the
india rubber bags packed upon their backs
The first part of this desert was about seven
ty-five miles in extent and occupied us two
days and haIi'to cross ii, travelling all day
and the greater part of the night; walking IA
great portion of the way To relieve the mules,
which began TO sink under the want of sus-
! tenancc and water.
| In the latter portion OF this first desert we
crossed field of solid salt. which lay encrust-
ed upon the level mud plain. so thick ti,at it
bore Up the mules loaded with their packs so
perfectly { iat they walked upon ii as lit had
been a sheet fsolil ice slightly covered with
snow. The whole llain was us level as a
io1r. We estimated this field To be at the
least ten miles in length, by seven in width.

three miles in width had been previously cross

prevent the animals from sinking through il

solid field was perfectly crystaliZed, and
where it had not become mixed with the soil

A VALUABLE CARGo.-The whaieship Co
raj, Capt. Scabury, ir,m the Pacific ocean,
arrived at New Bedford on the 18th inst,
with cargo of three thousand barrels of
sperm oil, which at present prices, il valued
at about one hundred and thirteen thousand
dollars. The Coral has been absent three
years aud a hail. This is said to be the most
valuable cargo of sperm oil ever entered in
one vessel at any port in the world.

OREGON VoLcANoEs.-We are informed
by gentlemen who were eye witnesses TO the
fact, that both Mounts st. Helens and Baker.
are sending forth volumes oil smoke, giving
undoubted evidence that their volcanic fires
are not extinguishcd. The craters from
which the smoke was issueing in ST. HeleGs
were two in number. and low down on the
north and northeast sides, while in Mount
Baker, which is a perfect cone, the smoke
was issueing in dense masses from the centre
of the summit. Ii is probable that these are
the only living volcanoes in Oregon.

CULTIVATE VARIETY OF CRoPs.-This

CULTIVATE VARIETY OF CRoPS.-I MS
principle is inculcated by several cons:dera-
tions-variety oil soils and situations; use Of
the products for various purposes, feeding TO
stock, selling IN market time Of planting cul-
tiva,ing and harvesting; variableness of eli
mate; the necessity for rotation of crops or
change on the same fields; the eradication of
weeds &c.
Some fields may bear remunerative crops of
one plant. yet leave deficiency from the
cultivation OF another and not only are par
ticular soils adapted 10 one species of vege-
tation, but so, also. are particular manures,
some oil which are much more convent
ent or econJ meal Tor one locality than an
other.
So, too, ofplanting and cultivating. When
one species oil seeds are put in the ground,
and the farmer is waiting to till them, II may
be just the time TO sow others. When they
have sproutcd and require to De looked
after, one may need attention at one mo-
ment, and one at another; while third, as
OF the small grains, grasses, and clover, re-
qu'res no subsequent attention except har-
vesting.
A season that is very cold and wet may be
beneficial to one crop, us OF grass and some
OF the grains, while such as are hot and com
paratively dry are better for others. as Indian
and broom corn, and various other products
and fruits. The multiplicity OF crops in the
ground at the same time is thus equivalent TO
an insurance on the weather, in which the
proprietor gives up IA very large possible yield
for one crop, while he secures far return
for his general labor.
Again, various species of animals require
different food, aud each requires variety
sometimes hay and straw, at others, ain
meal, or roots Occasionally. too, the mar
ket may be high for particular products. Of
which the farmer may have good store
and which he may sell to much better ad
vantage than TO feed TO his stock, pur
pose for which perhaps, it was originally de-
signed.
The necessity for rotation, with all its ad
vantages, has been elsewhere specified, ano
we have not time now TO enumerate them.
Various crops may require different kind
Of labor. The old and young, and females
too, may frequently be as advantageous,
employed by one occupation, as i'll the dairy
or garden or poultry yard. as the hardy an,
strong, by others in the field. Some may re
quire more or less assistance from the liors
or OK. while others are adapted solely 4
manual labor; aud certain articles, as flax an
WOOL may be raised to exc out employman
for the inmates of the house during our lon
winter evenings.
Thus thousand economical consideration
may justly induce us to give variety to on

The readers of the Republican were greet
ed by a la5ored article under the above head
last Friday. which has proven remarkable
alone for its entire ialsity, its utter disregard
oftruth. The source from which such das-
tardly misrepresentation, as were made in
the article alluded to, could eminate, must be
n rotten, corrupted one, aud totally unworthy
the confidence Of those for whom il attempts
10 speak.
In Fridays Republican, the public are in
formed in precise and emphatic manner that
because Of the announcement of J. Pitcher as
a candidate for Senatorial Delegate, James
E. Blythe, candidate for Delegate to the Con-
v>ntion from Vanderburgh county, had with
drawn his name. The editors may possibly
have some object in view in thus attempting
10 gull the people into the belief of down
right and ralpable falsehood, but what that
object is the citizens of Evansville, and even
the unterrfed democracy itself must be at
loss to conceive. They certainly arc not SO
reckless as to believe that by such a course
they can advance party or even private in
terests. They dare not presume so much up
on the good sense Of their readers as to rest
satisfied that their paltry perversion ofiacts
will be unmurmuringIy swallowed by the said
readers. Then what is their object! The
people are not willing that factsas they know
them to exist, shall be tortured into ridiculous
falsities, and will rebuke every attempt made
to effect such thing. This, by a continu-
ance of their present course, the gentlemen
of the Republican will soon learn, and doubt
less to their sorrow
1t may be unnecessary for us 10 state that
Mr.. Blythe has not Withdrawn his name from
the canvass. He will continue as a can
ddate and doubtless he elected. The
praise which the Republican bestows upon
him is well meritee. A more honorable and
high-minded man is not before the people for
their suffrages. He will, if elected, and we
cannot doubt his success, reflect credit on the
people who elect HIM, by an honorable, intel
ligent and dignified course
Did the editors of the Republican, in max
ing the gross mis- statement to which we have
alluded, think ofreconciIing the 'unterrifed2'
Did they design the precious morsel TO bid tn,
dropping faction they attempt 10 represent
