Several OF the Guernsey county
Caliiornians arrived home, says the Jetfer-
sonian, bringing the sad news of the death
of CAMPBELL D. Butte, son of Maj JOSEPH
Butte, of Byesville. 1t has not been one
month since we recorded the death of a
son of Maj. Bute's, who died on the Pa.
cifc. We are now called upon to record
the death of another son who died on the
Mississippi river, near Grand Gulf. Louis
lana. This interesting young man lett
this place. two years since TO seek his for
tune in California. After toilng hard for
about eighteen months in that country, and
obtaining portion Of this worlds goods,
he left for his home, full Of hope, and with
a fair prospect OF enjoying long life with
those with whom he had been reared. But
the buoyant hope. and the high career were
crushed, ere he reached the point of his
destination. His body is given to The
cold grave; his spirit is returned to its
Author and Original-God.
There is no more trite or truer sentl-
ment than how frail the tenure is by which
we hold our lives; and the recent melan-
choly event is only an evidence of the
certainty of death; and he is the only true
philososher who, believing the truth of the
poet, is always prepared:
"If it be now It's not to come;
If it be not to come, it will be now;
If it be not now, yet it will come
The readiness is all"

EXTRAORDINARY FERTILITY.

WHEAT Bishop Holiday, residing in
Utah Territory, on South Cottonwood
Creek, about ten miles south of the Great
Salt Lake City, raised, from one bushel
sowing, ole hundred and eighty bushels
of the choicest and cleanest wheat, meas
ured up and it weighed plump sixty pounds
to the bushel This bushel was sowed in
drills upon three or four acres OF ground,
and seasonably irrigated. This same gen.
tleman informed us that his wheat was bet.
ter this last season than it was the year
previous, and he felt confident that por-
ton of his last crop would produce two
hundred bushels from one bushel sowing,
though not then thfeshed out. That is
truly great country for wheat, but it re-
quires much labor and attention during the
season Of irrigation; and connected with
this operation, there are many little things
to be observed. or you will ruin your crop.
Every new settler can learn them all from
the experience Of those who were there
before him. No country that we ever saw
can equal it Tor vines and vegetables of all
kinds. Melons in great abundance are
produced there, of the largest size and
richest quality that we ever saw. 1t is not
natural for Indian corn, yet it was grown
there, and the land has been made to pro-
duce fifty bushels to the acre, though this
is an uncommon yield. ,.s -. i.
Farmers begin to sow wheat there in
August, and continue TO SOW every month,
and perhaps every week, when frost does
not prevent. until the next June; and about
The Goth of June they begin to harvest.
and continue harvesting their wheat until
the following November. We left there on
the lst day Of October, and the vines were
all as green as summer, and many pieces
of wheat were not harvested, but were just
turning white; and we said, surely this is
the country where 'the plowmcn overtake
the reapers.' :.
In this country, when wheat is ripe, il
has TO be harvested, or the crop is lost
Not so there. 1t may stand in the field
month after it is ripe, and take no. harm
1t is different sort Of wheat from ours
When early wheat is harvested in tha
country, by irrigating the stubble ground
second growth springs out from the root:
of the stubble, and not from the seed, ant
often comes 10 maturity the same year
This is usually the case with oats.-Fron

the boundary commissioners, on both sides.

TUESDAY. Feb. 8, 1851. "a
Mr.. Lawrence from the select commit
tee on the subject, reported back the bill
to erect the county Of Noble, with amend
Mr.. Lawrence said that these amend
ments brought the county seat of Monroe
county within two miles and half OF the
geographical centre.
Mr.. Payne moved to refer the bill TO
select committee. ....,.....
MI. Simpson wished the bill laid on the
table or recommitted in order to'allow him
time to examine the bill, and to show it TO
those Immediately interested.
MI. Hart moved to amend the bill by
adding two townships from Mnskingum
county, SO as TO make it CONFORM to the
proposed limits of Freeland county.
Mr. Eckley opposed the amendment
and the recommitment.
Mr.. Simpson said that if referred to
to him he would agree to report II back
tomorrow. The bill is. much changed
since it was introduced and he wished to
see the bill, to examine it and to show it to
those interested The bill sitnow stands
takes additional territory from the county
Of Monroe, which he had the honor TO
represent on this floor. "
Mr.. Lawrence said that the present bill,
as amended, had been agreed to by those
interested aud was satisfactory TO them.
Mr.. Simpson. Who does the Senator
mean by those interested!
Mi. Lawrence. mean all interested
in a new county to be located in that re-
gion.
Mr., Ferguson. He means the new
county lobbiesl
Mr.. Simpson. All interested in the new
county! Those opposed then, though
deeply interested, are not to be considered;
their rights are not deemed OF sufficient
Importance to merit attention But 10 take
the Senator at his own assertion. Are the
friends Of Freeland county in favor ol
this bill
Mr.. Lawrence. The new county oil
Freeland has not been pushed for long
time, and is not now before the Legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Simpson said that the Senator
would find that those residing in that Sec
ton Of the State. knew, perhaps as much
about the territory as the Senator from
Logan did. The bill does not bring the
county seat Of Monroe county within two
and one half miles Of the geographical
centre. The Senator belongs TO that par
ty which holds all contracts TO be binding
and yet the men who have bought property
in consequence of the contract being made
as to the county seat, are to have the!
rights invaded, and that, too without thel
Senator having the poor privilege OF ex
aiming the bill, and showing its gross in
Justice, and showing too, that the Senate
from Logan has been imposed upon.
After further debate, the bill was refer
red to Mr.. Simpson, as select commit
tee.

For the Spirit of Democracy.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
|CONCLUDED.I |


In our last communication, we were ex-
posing what we regarded as unfounded po-
sitions, taken by Mr.. Campbell, upon the
law of capital punishment. We will con-
tinue this work until this object, in our es-
timation, is fully accomplished.
We are opposed to capital punishment
because death may be inflicted upon the
Innocent; and for the further reason, that
the safety of society does not require the
inAction of this penalty. To this Mr.. =.
objects, as follows: "But again we are
told, the gallows must be hewn down. be-
cause innocent men have suffered upon it.
The fact itself is not denied Innocent
blood has been shed. This is to be de-
plored, and its recurrence ought to be pre-
vented. 1t has perhaps been wisely said,
81 1t is better for ten guilty men to escape
than that one innocent man should suffer
But | ask, is it wise, is il merciiul to say,
that because an innocent man may at one
time have fallen victim on account OF un-
founded suspicion or false testimony
therefore the law itself should be abroga-
ted? The innocent have sometimes been
imprisoned: shall we therefore tear down
our pententiaries, and abolish imprlson-
ment in every case? If the argument holds
rood in the one case, it does in the other.
This plea, if admitted, would make a
mockerv of Justice. and subvert the ad-
ministra,ion of all law" The fallacy oi
this reasoning is so palpable, that it is at
once seen. For instance, if an innocent
man is found guilty of murder, and the
penalty is Imprisonment for life: Then IN
the event of his innocence being made
manifest, he can and will at once be set al
liberty and restored TO family and friends
and to all the rights 10 which the God ol
his existence made him heir. But ii capi-
tally punished, life. liberty, or friends, can
never be restored to him; his fate is Tor
ever fixed; the blood of the innocent man
will eternally rest upon his murderers
To avoid such shocking wickedness as
this, and at the same time secure the-peace
of society, let the murderer be imprisoned
for life. This is the only means by whlcl
the shedding of innocent blood, by law
can be avoided, and the peace OF society
secured at the same time. MIR. q. admits
that innocent blood has been shed, and l.
to be deplored, and that its recurrence
ought to be prevented. Well now we sa,
TO him, if he is sincere in the expression
these sentiments, he yields the whole
question TO us. For if the shedding OF IN
nocent blood is to be deplored, and its re
currence ought to be preuented, there is NJ
other way under heaven by which this Cal
be done, only by substituting the penlten
, tiary for the gallows; or in other words
substituting Imprisonment for life in plac
ofhanging by the neck till dead. We del,
/, him to point out any other mode by whic
the shedding of innocent blood can b
