TEE CzAn,s K1sDsrss TO AN ESeL1sH

The CzAR's KINDNESS TO AN ESGLIsH
PRIsoSER.-0ur intelligent correspon-
dent at st. Petersburg, says the Boston
Times, referred, in letter, to the fact
that a British officer, named Royer, OF
Rowyer, captured in the Tiger frigate,
had been released by the Car and re-
turned to his friends unconditionally.-
The following particulars of the affair
we copy from the John Bull, an Eng
lish paper, having no very friendly
predictions for the Emperor Nicholas;
There is strange incident passed by
in regard to the capture of the Tiger
frigate. On his Imperial Majesty be-
coming aware of the capture, he des-
patched orders that officers and men
should be sent to Moscow, there to be
detained, save the captain, whom be
ordered to be sent to st. Petersburg
The poor captain, however, (Capt. Gift
fard, died, and the Imperial Sovereign
then required that the first lieutenant,
Lieut.. A. Roger, should be brought be-
fore him. The gallant officer was ac-
cordingly-somewhat to his regret
separated from his shipmates, and con-
veyed to st. Petersburg. On his ar
rival, he was received with much cour-
tesy, and experienced the greatest pos
sible kindness from the Russian authori-
ties. An early hour was fixed for an
interview with the Gar, who received
the British officer in one of the grand
apartments of the palace. The Empe-
ror, though somewhat emaciated in ap-
pearance, still preserved that clearness
of voice and quickness of PERCEPTION
which has throughout life characterized
him. He entered into a heightened
conversation with Lieut.. Rowyer, avoid
ing, however, to put any interrogatory
likely to compromise either the national
or professional honor of the British Of
fcer, who behaved with that frmness
of tone and respect in demeanor so char
acteristic of the English sailor. The
Gar appeared highly pleased with
Lieut. Rowyer, and, the conversation
turning to the domestic HEARTH he
asked the lieutenant if he was married,
upon which the latter made answer and
said that he had wife and four child
rem in England. The Emperor rejoined,
then you would like to go back to Eng
land, and return to your wife and child
ren? if so, to England you shall return,
Internationally 1t is almost unneces-
sary to add Lieut.. Rowyer left st.
Petersburg, in company Of eourtiers
specially employed for him by the En-
peror, on the following day, and was
soon in sight of his native land. On
Sunday evening last, Mrs. Rowyer and
her children were leaving their house, in
the vicinity of the metropolis, for the
purpose of attending divine service,
and no doubt for the special intention of
praying for the safety of the husband
and father, who they believed to be in
Russian dungeon. Judge Mrs. Row
yer's surprise when she was handed
telegraphic message from Southampton,
stating that her husband might be ex-
pected in London in about two hours
time. Mrs Rowyer did not go to
church, but with her family returned
thanks to the Giver of all Good in pri-
vacy. The husband arrived in London
at 10 O'Clock, and was soon in the midst
of his domestic circle.

ADUEL BETWEEN TWO CINcINNAT1ANs
One OF THE PARTY SHoT.-We were
yesterday informed by one of the agents
of the stage company, the particulars
of duel which took place on Monday
last, in a field on Mr.. Brenson's farm, a
few miles from Alexandria, Kentucky,
and within a half mile Of the turnpike,
between two gentlemen of this city
Sometime since, Mr.. Henry Short, jr.,
clerk on Fifth street, became attached
to beautiful young lady, residing on
Eighth street, and to whom he soon en-
gagged himself for marriage. Mr..
Short, about month ago, went to Phil
adelphia on visit to his parents, who
reside on Chestnut street in that city =
During his absence he received letter
from a fellow-clerk that his betrothed
lady love was keeping the company of
young limb of the law named Al
exander Peacock, now a resident Of
Chicago. but native of this city. The
letter gave Mr.. S. reason to believe that
Peacock and his lady love were engaged.
Mr.. S. returned home on Wednesday
evening last, and found that all had not
been told him-that p. had sIandered
him, and DETAINED his character to the
young lady, and thus won her affections.
Determined to have an explanation, he
wrote to Peacock and the lady, and de-
manded the same. They both treated
him coldly, and requested Mr. S. not to
annoy them with his communications -
the young lady at the same time return
ing her engagement ring. This so en-
ragged Mr.. S. that he sent challenge to
Mr.. p. which was accepted and rifles
were chosen as the weapons. Seconds
were appointed who fixed the place Of
meeting and time as above stated. No
persons were present except two friends
of each party and their seconds. At
the first FIRE no injury was sustained by
either of the duelists. An effort was
then made to reconcile the difficulty,
but neither party would listen to any
compromise, and the parties were order
ed to their post for the second fire.
The word was given and Mr.. S. fell
bleeding to the ground, the ball having
taken effect in his left shoulder. He
was then picked up and taken to Mr..
Brenson's, the farmers house, and his
wound was dressed. He is considered
in critical condition. 1t is now un-
derstood that when the young lady
learned what had happened, she refused
to have anything to do with either of
the parties, and has resolved to break
off all engagements with each of the
gentlemen. It's therefore evident that
in this case the old adage of "Faint
Heart never won Fair Lady" has been

The Ruta baga Turnip.

AS the perl0Q Ior sowing turnlp Seeu Is draw
ing near, it occurs to us that the substance of
an article upon the Rulabaga turnIp, which ap.
peared in the Southern Agriculturist for March
of the present year, might he prcfitaby pre-
sented to our farmers at this time. The arli
Gle is from the pen of Mr.. William S. Lyles,
highly intelligent planter of Fairfield District.
Both Mr.. Lyles and the able senior editor OF
the Agriculturist maintain this turnip to he the
most valuable one We have in use. 1t is large
and sweet. Its tops make excellent greens for
negroes, good enough in fact for the "buckra's"
table when other vegetables are scarce: 1t is
admirable food for milch cows, improving the
richness. favor and color of milk and butter.
sCol. Summer remarks that he has often fed
these turnips advantageously to cattle, sheep,
swine and poultry, and that they answer a
good purpose as an occasional change for horses
that are not allowed to gIaze. They are more
over hard species, withstandng the severest
freezes of winter. Neither do they become
pity. So much for the merits of this crop.
The mode Of culture given BY Mr.. Lyles is
Substantially as follows: -
He COW. pens half acre of land for month
or two. (If there is too little time now left
for doing this fully, we presume slight broad
casting from the stable.lot would make all right.)
He breaks up this half acre twice during the
cow-penning. About the middle of July he
prepares for sowing down his turnip seed. He
spreads broadcast over his half acre one hun.
dred pounds of Guano, mixed with half bush
e of plaster and half bushe of salt, all slight
ly wel,ed to prevent it flying about irregulary.
He then pows and cross pows, using long
buI.tongue the last time. He then ridges his
half.acre up by throwing three burrows t"geth.
er. The ridges are two feet apart. He then
knocks the pow hoe off the stock, and nails
piece of thick plank three inches wide and two
feet long across the foot of the plow stock,
leaving about two inches of the foot below tie
board. He runs this over the ridges, at once
smoothing them and opening a little trench for
the seed. He then mixes we'll together half
bushel of plaster and half pound Of turnip-
seed, muistening little. He sows this in The
drills before opened-covers with ruke-and
lastly uses the most convenient means ofpress.
lug the earth. After the crop is we'll up, he
shaves down the ridges or beds In about ten
days after this, he sides with n short twisted
shovel aud splits the middIes out with com.
mon shovel In about ten days more, he thins
out to twelve or eighteen inches in the drill,
drawing the grass away with the hoe. This
completes the cultivation. Having done all
this accurately and faithfully, you will reap an
abundant crop, "deo V0lent."
