There is more hope for the pros
perity Of the country in the bright
ness of a ploughsharc than in the
brilliancy of long speeches in Con-
gress. If the increase OF farm pro-
ducts lessons the price to the con-
sumner, the farmer is the true repub-
lcan, who labors for the good of
the many. The consumers are
vastly more numerous than the pro-
ducers. The encouragement of ag-
riculture is therefore the interest of
the whole people. Those legisla-
tors and statesmen who neglect the
encouragement of agriculture, es-
sentially neglect their duty and their

Adventure of Capt. Gregg.
WONDERFUL ESCAPE-I777.
On the banks of The beautiful
Mohawk, where the town of Rome
now slands-stood during the Reyo-
luton, a strong forlilicalinn, erected
in connection with others, in l15S,
to keep open the communication he
tween the Mohawk Valley and Lake
Ontario, and to protect The Indian
trade. Al the opening of the con
test between the colonies and the
mother country, Fort Stanwix was
almost in RUNS. Situated, as II was
nj that time, on the extreme outskirts
of the white settlements, il was an
important post, yet it was not until
the spring of l777, that it was re-
paired by General Schuyler, in whose
name il was then chrisiened.
Early in the spring of that year,
Thayendahegea, or Brandt, tie chief
Sachem of the Six Nations, made
his appearance in the valley of the
Mohawk, with large body of war
riors, and from his own confessions,
it became evident that the Indians
had been induced by the BRUSH TO
take up the Ratchet in their contest,
and that the settlements in that beau
tiiul region of country would be the
object OF assault. Congress saw the
necessity of protecting the northern
and western frontiers, and General
Schuyler was directed TO repair Fort
Stanwix, and erect others, Should he
de, IN il necessary. Col. Dayton was
detailed by Schuyler to Fort Stan

in connection with the Tryon coun-
t, militia, in its repairs, that the in
cident | am about to relate occurred

Pulverized Peat.

A most important discovery has
been made by an eminent agricultural
professor of chemistry, that finely
pulverised peat will efectuaIiy de-
odorise the most offensive putrid
matter, and destroy the mos, fe,id
odors in fact, that it possesses the
wonderful disiufeclIng properties Of
that by mixing II with
common night-soil in about equal
proportions, one OF the most valuable
manures is made. and proved by
experiments not inferior in results TO
the best South American guano. 1t
may be made at all seasons and
stored away for use, or the land
dressed with it Immediately. Tiis
valuable manure may be used as a
top-dressing, or drilled, or dropped
in with the seed, nj the rate of from
100 10 500 pounds per acre, and il
may be applied with benefit TO every
kind OF crop. 1t may be sown with
the seeds of all green crops, and it
will push them into early and rapid
growth. II will also be found highly
serviceable in all garden crops,
shrubs, and hower-beds. Ii the
finely pulverised peat be strewn over
the floors Of stables, piggeries or COW
houses, with very light covering of
straw over il, il will absorb and re-
tain all moisture, disinfect the build
ing OF every noxious gas so injurious
to cattle, and be fit by mixture with
the excre,a from the animals, for
immediate use. Sheep folded upon
it at night would produce wonderful
and most important results to farmers
in the vast production OF valuable
manure. Finely pulverised peat also
supplies the ready means OF removing
all nuisances, thereby promoting the
public hcalih-and many years
cannot elapse before this important
discovery will be adapted 10 convert

Iron Fences An establishment
at Lowell, Mass. is turning out iron
fencing, by machinery, at cheap
and rapid rate. John Nesmith Esq
has invented and patented machine
for the manufacture of lcire netting
for fencing purposes, quantities of
which have been made and sold by
the Lowell Wire Fence Company.
1t is made various sizes and shapes
to suit purchasers, and is sold at
from 10 to 81 80 per rod. 1t may
be rolled up as you would carpet,
and removed at pleasure. Richard
