and chuck it about, and daub it up with grease,

it brown and crispy, as big as whole bricks. and
bring il along smoking, steaming Lot-thats

It's good when It's hot, it's good when it's cold
It's good for the young and it's good for the DID,

most wholesome diet that ever went down the
throat Of men. 1t won't give you the dyspepsia
nor the rheumatism. Itwon't give you the 'bloos,

LETTER FROM Col. KISNEY.-The New York
Post contains letter from Col. Kinney, written
just previous to his sailing in the bark Emma,
not for Nicaragua direct, but for Jamaica. The
Colonel, it appears complains of the action OF
Government in throwing obstacles in the way of
his expedition, and says the Accessory Transit
Company is his rival in sending settlers to the
Nicaragua. He calls upon his friends to follow
him by the first conveyance, as the news from
Nicaragua shows THAI the property of obsentees
is in jeopardy, as the revolution there continues
without abatement We quote the concluding
paragraph of his letter, which is an appeal to
the public:
9 We claim the right to plant. amidst the
wIds Of Nicaragua, upon our own legally &C
quired property, the school-house and the
church, to live there as becomes orderly, indus
trious and law-abiding citizens to encourage
agriculture, establish commerce, and cultivate
the arts which embellish life. In SO doing, we
violate 10 law, either human divine. And if
in the fullness of time, political changes should
occur, if respectable, responsible and per-
manent government should be established,
where anarchy now reigns, if the unhappy wars
that now desolate the land should give place to
peaceful labor, and the state rise again, purified
by her trials, and prepared for the ylace des-
tined by the God of Nations for her, we shall
still be ready to hear the verdict pronounced
upon our enterprise. For that verdict we shall
not appeal to the government but to the sove-
reignty of that public sentiment before which
the government itself must bow

Florida Indigo.

{ Indigo was formerly cultivated in Florida
for which the climate and soil is well adapted
1t grows wild upon the barrens in almost every
portion Of the Peninsula. When cultivated by
the English in this country, the Indigo of Flori-
da was considered in the London market supe-
rior to all others. except that Of Caracas. The
manner of cultivating and manufacturing ad-
vantageously is as follows
The seed, which is very small, is soaked for
some twelve hours, then mixed with ashes or
sand, and sown in drill rows, about eighteen
inches apart. The time for sowing in Florida
is from the middle of March to the first Of April
When the young plant makes its appearance, it
resembles white clover, and must be carefully
weeded, and the earth kept loosed about its
roots. Three weddings are sufficient to carry it
up to the first cutting, which commences when
the plant begins to bloom, say about the first of
July. The plant is SO easily injured by the
sun after it is plucked, that the cuttings should
be in the afternoon. As fast as it is cut, which
is done by sickle, it is carried to vat called
the sleeper. This vat is made of plank, is
water-tight, and varies in size according to the
