The National Inteiigencer states that Messrs Cor
corap Riggs have always been anxious for authori-
ty to hand over to the Government the funds deposit
ed with them by the late Dr. Gardiner. 1t was on
their information that the attachment Issued by
the Secretary of the Treasury and the money secured
10 the Government. The late decision ofthe Circuit
Court, in favor of the Government, will be gladly
complied with by the firm.

Il may be proper here to state that
the manures, which may be regarded
as the legitimate products Of the farm,
are not included in the above estimate.
And at some tines, when there was a
superabundance Of straw on the farm,
! exchanged Il very advantageously for
stable manure, without including the
value Of either in the cost Of improve
ment.

| Butter.-Not one pound in FIVE Of
the butter sold in the market. is fit for
human food. Butter makers should
remember these few short rules:
The newer and sweeter the cream,
the sweetcr and higher favored will
be the butter.
The air must be fresh and pure in
the room or celler where the milk is
set.
The cream should not remain on the
milk over thirty>six hours.
Keep the cream in tin pals or stone
pots, into which put a spoonful of salt
at the beginning, then stir the cream
lightly each morning and evening this
will prevent it from moulding or sour
Ing.
Churn as often as once a week, and
as much oftener as circumstances will
permit.
Upon churning, add the cream upon
all the milk in the dairy.
Use nearly an ounce Of salt to pound
OF butter.
Work the butter over twice, to free
it from butter-milk and brine, before
Jumping and packing.
BE sure that it is entirely free from
every particle of butter.milk or coag-
ulated milk, and it will keep sweet as
long as desired.
In Scotland. syphon is sometimes
used to separate the. milk from the
cream, instead of skimming the pans.

OKRA.-A correspondent Of the Soil
of the South. says, 81 planted but a
few hills Of okra in my garden; as soon
as it began to bloom, | topped it. /
selected one stalk to experiment on,
which put out, after the first topping,
five vigorous shoots or branches. After
the shoots had grown about eighteen
inches in length, | topped them. Such
a shooting and blooming as my okra
had after the second topping, would
be an ornament to any garden. But
this is not all. The numerous and al
most countless pods Of okra in success
sion, were charming to the sight. This
morning | counted the branches, pods
and bloom. There were thirty-three
branches, thirteen of them as high and
higher than | can reach, one hundred
and one pods Of okra and twelve
blooms. / cut of fourteen ripe for
seed, leaving eighty seven now on the
stalk. The trunk or base Of the stalk
measured six inches in circumference.
We had okra for dinner all the sum-
mer, and can have il yet, only, from
this stalk. am satisfied that 1 can
have okra bountifully from one or two
stalks, and that too, till killing FROST.

BASIS PRINCIPLES
OF THE AMERICAN PARTY OF VIRGINIA


Determined to preserve our political
institutions in their original purity and
,igor, and to keep them unadulterated
a nd unimpaired By foreign influence,
either civil or religious, as well as BY
home faction and home demagogueism !;
and believing that an American policy,
religious, political and commercial, is
necessary for the attainment Of these
ends, we shall observe and carry out
in practice the following principles:
1. That the sufrages Of the Ameri-
can people for political Offices, should
not be given TO any other than those
born on our soil, and reared and nur-
tured under the influence Of our insti
tutions.
Q. That no foreigner ought to be al.
lowed to exercise the elective franchise,
till he shall have resided within the
United States a sufficient length Of
time to enable him TO become acquaint-
ed with the principles aud imbued with
the spirit Of our institutions, and until
he shall have become thoroughly iden.
tilted with the great interests Of ouI
country.
8. That whilst no obstacle should
be interposed to the immigration Of al
foreigners Of honest and industriou.
habits, and all privileges and immuni
ties enjoyed by any native born citi
zen Of our country should be extenie,
to all such immigrants, except that 0

From the Southern Farmer.
Successful Farm Management In
DinWiddi0.

1 1t Will be recollected by some o
our readers, that call was made a few
weeks ago by "a Farmer in Earnest
upon E. w. Friend, of Dinwiddie, fol
the system Of management by which ht
had succeeded in bringing an exhausted
farm into a state Of the highest produc'
tiveness. The invitation Of "a Far
mer in Earnest" was seconded by Z
personal application from the Editors
of the Farmer; but as Mr.. Friend had
already made publication On the sub
! iect more than fifteen months ago, he
naturally felt some delicacy in making
a second appearance. As, however,
the complete results Of two years have
been realized since that time, he has
finally consented to incorporate them
in his former communication, which,
with some other alterations, will be
found below. 1t is seldom that farm
management Of so successful and intel
ligent character has been submitted
to the agricultural community.--EDs.l
In December, I847, purchased a
place called Burlington, in the county
0f Dinwiddie, four miles from the mar.
ket house Of the city Of Petersburg,
containing one hundred and eighty
acres, for the sum of two thousand two
hundred dollars, (being rather over
twelve dollars per acre, which was
considered at the time high price.
subsequently added one hundred and
seventy-nine acres, at a cost OF two
thousand three hundred and thirty dol.
lars; making, altogether, three hundred
and fifty-nine acres, at the aggregate
cost Of four thousand five hundred and
thirty dollars. Of this quantity, one
hundred and fifty acres is cleared land
upon which my farming operations have
been carried on. Such was the con-
dition Of the land at the time of the
purchase, that | do not think il would
have yielded an average OF halt bar
rel Of corn TO the acre. Seeing the ne
cessity of adopting some means by
which more favorable results would en-
sue than | bad any reason to expect
from the land in its impoverished con-
dition, 1 determined to commence al
once a regular and energetic system O

consulting as far as practicable the

The cost of fist-class locomotive which weighs

The cost Of the nales, locomotives in use is SC 900
