The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1853-09-20


II Is true that the public are acquainted With his
previous career a. soldier II also stated that the
above mentioned individual had srrived In New
York; that bis intention was and Is TO become
modest eitizen OF this powerful Union and to regain
with the spade and pruning knife what he has lost
with arms. But all that was only generally told; ne
now thinks It not improper at once and specially to
explain more fully hs intentions. than they were
mentioned in that article AS every beginning in
Europe is hard and grievous, Gas witcess all the
philosophers, who. from the creation OF tue world
Till now are still in search of i he believed that
here, on the Western shores Of the Atlantic ocean,
this beginning would be found easier.
Alas! after nearly month of running, sailing and
rawaying, he finds that between tue degrees OF
north latitude 80 and 40, the beginning" Is as
difficult as where if any one is not accompanied
from Europe by Rothschiid, or Barring some such
Lord OF "strong chest /" Never MUD if the writer
were young and robust then he had not wasted sheet
fpaper but had begun like the giant othe Tartaran
fields OF mythology, by rolling not 30 much rocks as
barres and nevertheless had not despared OF sooner
attaining competence, than the former did to the
summit Of the mountain. But as he is rather id.
yanced in age and consequently not capable Of un.
dertakipg hard work he wishes to make the public
acquainted with the various knowledge he has picked
up during wandering OF fifty years in this world in
order e be useful TO his new fatheEand.
1t still mains his intention, il possible, to become
an agriculturist, as from his own lno wledge, and
that of his gallant companion and friend, Col Ka-
toIa, practical and clever agriculturst they both,
by obtaining from six to twelve acres OF ground,
could very well cultivate, and perhaps improve, the
older, and possibly establish and dOnesticate some
new products. But if they should fail, With their
limited means, then he believed it not improper to
state what other qualifications they possess. in order
to be useful to the country.
As was previously mentioned, they had both served
long in the airy; and particularly by having been
hussars, (who by their skill and gallantry, ao
preciated throughout the world they are acquaint
ed in the fullest sense with all relating to the pro-
per and scientific treatment of the horse including
breeding, tanning, keeping, and feeding; equation,
driving with two or four horses brlling, shoeins,
veterinary treatment, and so on.
II naturally follows, that they can conscientiously
say they can teach, in the most approved method,
equation to ladies and geotlemen. Especially they
are capable Of teaching and improving the equtation
Of the cavalry OF the State militia, with improved
management Of their hand ana firearms They could
instruct them how to tame and train their younger
horses to ride with more assurance; and finally, in.
part the art of teaching Others &C., g., &c
Such are their requirements, and they offer them
to the public of the Urite1 States-if anywhere,
either the community, or associations would make
use Of their knowledge by giving them the direction
of riding schools or other public establishments,
with the necessary appliances and the opportunity to
put them In practice. In such case they would feel
themselves morally obliged to do all 10 their power
for the prosperity of such an establishment. They
never desist from working till they could give it I'd
into better and more skiful hands.
Now, every one IL entitled to ask, who warrants
the truth OF the above assertion and it is right to
do so A fair trial would warrant the half; and il
GOO and respected name, and honesty for fifty years
past, might warrant he who has been during that
time an honest man, would not easily be, for the
short remainder Of his life, rogue -thsn the whole
truth OF the above will be proved and confirmed
