Government will be employed on the aide Of
freedom and it. benign order.
It Is somewhat curious to notice the strik-
ing correspondence bstwesu the historv Of
this young Republican Captain, and that Of
hin whom our fathers took % their leader
in the (sst great struggle for liberty on this
| continent. A part OF these have been mo-
tioed BY the papers, and by speakers. Others
We have not seen referred to. They are in
teresting and suggestive. Washington was
left in childhood, By the death Of his father,
to the charge of his mother. Fremont was
20 likewise, at . still earlier period, and in
circumstances certainly much less auspicious.
Washington had early . passion for the sea,
80 strong that midshipmsn's warrant was
obtained for him BY his friends. Fremont
went to sea, and was there employed for
more than two years. Washington was in
troduced to public life through his service
on the frontiers, ~ + surveyor and civil en-
g'neer.: Fremont won his discipline and his
early fame in the same department, and By
ms use and prrctice in it became fitted, in
mind and body, to "endre hardness"
Washington learned all that he knew Of var
In Indian c0mbats and the strife OF the viii
derness, and rose thus to the rank Of Colonel
in the provincial troops. Fremont's school
was the same, and he has gained the same
rank. Washington had had small experience
- legislator, until he was called ct the
mead OF the Government. He was taken for
ms well-tried general qualities, and not for
any distinction no had achieved % . diplo-
matlst or statesman; and here again the
parallel holds. Washington was snsered at
by the men OF routine, was hated and sssail-
cd by the Tories OF that day, % soldier
who had /" never set squadron in the Aeld.n
until his energy and patience drove them all
out OF It. The same class Of attacks are
now made on Fremont; to be answered. we
trust, IN the same impressive way. His
friends early felt that Washington was sne-
cially fitted and preserved Of Providence to
become the head of the nation; a. Rev.
Samuel Davies expressed it, that "Provi-
dence has hitherto preserved him in 90 sig-
nal manner for some important service to
his country" The same expectation. be-
coming almost premonition, has for years
been general among the friends of Fremont.
Or. Robertson. his early teacher, expressed
It IN the preface to his edition Of the Anab-
ass, published years ago in these word.
Such, my young friends, is an imperfect
sketch OF my once beloved and favorite pu-
pii, who may yet rise to be at tho head OF
tins great and growing Republic. Nv PRAYER
IL that ne may be opposed to war, Injustice
ana oppression Of every kind, blessing &c
his country, and an example Of every noble
virtue to the whole world" Washington
was called to the head Of the army at tho
ags OF forty-four; and il Col. Fremont shall
live to see the 18th Of March next, We conf
IDENTITY expect that the singular parallel will
90 far be perfected!

made biting remark at Washington the
other day, in relation to Brooks assault

UNCLE SAM'S CRIB.

We peeped into the Corn Crib of a near
neighbor to our sanctum few weeks since,
to see what our home folks were doing in
agriculture, and accordingly report:
Mr.. SAMUEL BROOKS has the best speci.
men of good, sound and large ears of corn
we have seen this season. From four acres
be gathered little over two hundred bush.
els Of corn worth one dollar per bushel. On
q smaller lot he raised corn at the rate oil
eighty bushels per acre-and he is sub.
scriber to our paper, and takes another ag-
ricultural paper aud horticultural paper
besides. So much for science and home
made manure,-for he made all his manure
at home. Bot stop! He plowed his land
deep with the Iron Plow Stock drawn by
two horses, as deep into the clay as he
could.
1t is encouraging to us to see our editori'
al labors crowned with such golden shocks
Of corn as these at home; so much so that
we will run our Iron Stocks little deeper
still this year, and make all the manure we
can of printers ink and paper.

For the Advertiser.
OREGON PEA AGAIN,


lMessrs. Editors with many in this
utilitarian age, all new things are dubbed
" Humbug," unless money can be made by
them. A new thing and fortune have
been so long associated together in thought,
that we might as we'll drop the conjunction
and article, and write in future Nevthing
humbug, so that we would then have spe-
cifc term for money making innovations.
The man who expects the Oregon Pea
stalk to bea. dollars will be disappointed !;
but if he will locate his expectations low
down, some where about the latitude of
Pea ability he will escape the mad house
certainly. We say nothing of it as fer
tilizer, for we are without observation; but
for pasture and forage we can speak more
confidently. First, for Hogs, the Pea stands
erect, and falls down only on good soil.
Turn in your hogs when the young peas
begin. to fill. The hogs will bite off the
young peas and thrive, doing but little IN
jury to the stalk which is just as valuable as
ever for making coarse forage. Second, on
the first appearance of the golden yellow,
chop down with hoe and cure for two
days; then put away for use. Horses and
cows eat them with zest. The stock gene
rally refuse the large stalks, but a little
tramping causes the stalks to split up into
numerous fibres, tough and spongy, forming
splendid base for compost, better we
think than pine straw or oak leaves. SO
that for hogs, horses and cattle, and for ma
king compost, we know of no other plant
equal to it, or at least none than can be so
cheaply turned to as many uses, Third, as
to the Pea, we incline to the opinion that to
grow and gather any more of them than
for seed will be found small pea business

DRYING PUMPKINS, &c.-Cut them up
and stew them till they are soft and dry;
pound and strain them through cullender;
then grease pie pans, and spread it on a
quarter of an inch thick and dry it; roll it
up, and put it away in tight box or bag,
from the insects. Each one of these rolls
will make pie. 1t is very easy now to
make pie. Put it in sweet milk, and let
it soak about two hours; put in an egg, a
tablespoonful of sugar, teaspoonful Of gin.
ger, and one of allspice; and if you are
lovers Of pumpkin pie, as we are, you will
pronounce it good. Farmer.

which has not yet been broken up be de.

oat crop, husband every thing in the shape
of manure, and, since the fence law did not
pass, puff and blow again at splitting rails
to make new and repair old fences; and be
sure and feed the stock well, or the "Ides
