I now wid pleasure y take up my pen to inform ye's of the death of ye's own liviu' uncle Kulpatrick, who died tl very suddenly afthera lingerin' of six months. f\ The poor man was in violent convulsions the a] whole time of sickness, lying perfectly quiet e> and spachless, all the time talkin' incohar'ntly J and calliu' for wathar?I had no opportunity al to inform ye's of his death, exeipt I had wrote li to ye's by the last post, which went oft" two d days before he died, an' thin ye's would have fi postage to pay. I am at a loss to tell what his g death was occasioned at, but I fear it was his a last sickness. He niver was well tin days to- b gether durin' the whole time of his confine- tl meut. I am at a loss to tell what occasioned Si it, but I fear it was by his atin' too much of b rabbits stuffed wid pays, and gravy stuffed wid j ^ rabbits, I can't tell which; but be that as it c, will. ! tl As soon as he breathed hisdast the docthors a, gave up all hopes of his recovery. I needn't c, tell ye's anything about his age, for ye's well ir knows he wo'd have bin jist 25 years old, e< lackin' tin months, and had he lived till that j a| time wo'd hev bin six'months ded. His prop- tl erty now devolves to his nixt in kin, who all tl died some time ago, so I expict it will be de- ei cided betwane us, an' ye's know his property ni was very considerable, for he had a fine c- ui ' state which wint to pay his debts, an' for the ; w remainther, he lost that on a horserace but it was aj the opinion of every body at the time that he bl wo'd have wond the race, if the horse he run aj against had not been to fast for him. I niver ju saw a man, an' the docthors all say so, that ti took medicine bother nor he did.

All the old folks in this region well imembcr the "Old Fatiguer," his graphic tories drawn from life, and to the life, his j aorough conviction of the truth of everything i e uttered, and his contempt for those who oubted his word. The "Old Fatiguer" might O 'ell be called, (as the Missourian said of John loyd,) "a rara avis in his terris novi homines, y God." Such men spring up only once in century, and only on a virgin soil. The rildness of nature unrcstraiued, boundless arests, roaring streams, abundant game, wild easts and snakes, must all be present to prouce a true original character like the "Old atiguer." But to the Fatiguer's story?"1 ras riding on old Gilpin one morning, pretty arly, (it was in May?about the 5th) along u Indian trail between the big and little Tenicssee?I was iu a deep study?wheu all at nee I was startled by the loud crack of a whip, s if a fellow was stalled up to the hub, somewhere iu the neighborhood. Now, I knew here was'nt a road in ten miles of me that an is cart could get along in, and I began to ook about me. Old Gilpin smelt a rat at nee, and began pawing and snorting. By the irick of his ear I soon got the direction, and what do you think it was? About fifty yards rom the trail?there stood a black snake about ix feet long, standing just as straight up as narrow, his head moving back and forward, nd round, sorter semi-circularly iu a very estless mood, I tell you. Now and then, lie rould drop to the ground and rapidly make a irele, theu two or three sharp cracks from his lil, would come again, and then bolt upright ou'd see him again. It was'nt long before J eard a hissing sound and that indescribable ittle, (I thought Gilpin would have gone into ts,) and I soon discovered a huge rattlesnake j his coil, about fifteen or twenty feet from le black. The old fellow was ready, and ou could see the devil was in him. That as just what the black wanted, he wanted to irow him off his guard and make him fight iriously. They did'nt seem to notice us at 11, but I tell you both Gilpin and I kept <>nr yes opeu. At last the old rattlesnake got so ?d infernal mad he eould'nt keep his coil uy longer, and he pitched into the light just ke one of my game old Dusty Millers always oes, not caring who he hit so he was in for a gilt. The black bv a doxte rous movement lided out of his way and the old fellow made clean miss. Y/aterhaul I hollered ! by George lack now's your time?but no sooner said aan done,black sprang like nothing but a black nuke could spring, and seizing the r.ittli snake v the back of the neck.in a twinkling th-'V wore relation but was kilt in the last war. )n But I can't dwell on the mournful subject, tli au' shall sale my letther in black salin' wax, it an' put on it yer uuclc's coat of arms, so I ,J, beg yc's not to brake the sale whin ye's open J the letther, an' don't open the letther till h, three or four days afther ye's received it, by w which ye's will hev time to be prepared for the h sorrowful tidins.

Lulonvilh: Jonrur Since the April-fool incidents of last onth were recorded, we have met with one nit has some ingredients of droller humor in than any we mentioned. It seems that Mrs. iimison was a sprightly old lady, in her lmnredth year, who had long been promising er handsome fortune to her nephew. He had aited for it half a century, hoping daily to avc the pleasure of closing her dying eves, nd fingering her money. Every night, if he card the slightest .sound in the house, he hasmed to her door, in the fond hopes of that is dear old aunt was in her last pains, and is day of possession was at hand. At last, she lug her bell violently at one o'clock in the loruing. JIe flew to her bedside. She must e dying, lie was sure of it, and glad of it, 10. "Aunt, dear aunt, what can I do for you ?" "La! John, nothing's the matter. It's the *st day of April, you fool you. I ain't dead it. tear* A Southern Correspondent pledges his irae for the truth of the following, as an ilstration of the "free-and-easy" in a demo-1 atic land. It certainly is a good thing in its ly, and the personages it introduces give it special interest. Twelve or fourteen years ago Lord Ashbur11, Envoy Extraordinary from the British overnmeut to settle with Mr. Webster, the ortheastern Boundary <juestion, was in Washgton. John Tyler was then the President the United States, and with the politeness aracteristic of the man, and of Virginians , nerally, wishing to amuse his Lordship for e day, invited him to ride out to the race- I ur.se, near the city, where sport was at the ne rendered very attractive by a great const between the celebrated horses Boston and ue Dick. Among the excited spectators d participators was a well-known habitue of e turf, who had served with Mr. Tyler in e Legislature of Virginia for several years, cing the President, and remembering their 1 associations, which had been the most faliar, not in the least daunted by the sudden ivation of bis peer to the highest station in ? land, he walked up rapidly to his old comic, and, grasping him by the hand, exclaim- i , "Tyler, how are you, old fellow; mighty ( id to see you, old horse; looking well, old i in and pursuing his strain, mingling it ] with a big oath between every phrase, he completely astounded the President, who could not stop him or say a word in reply. All this time Lord Ashburton was sitting on his horse, close by, in stately dignity, and horror-struck at the easy familiarity of the Virginian. I The President, hoping that the name of his Lordship might perhaps subdue into something like respectful language his friend, whose memory of the olden time seemed to be flowing in upon him with a flood-tide of jolly reminiscences, introduced him, with great gravity, to Lord Asburton. "Lord who did you say, Tyler? The Lord Harry!" he roared out, extending his hand in a patronizing way to his Lordship. "Xo lords, no dukes, no nothing of that sort in this country." And so he dashed on, until the Envoy himself entered into the spirit of the scene, and heartily laughed with the President and a group of friends over its recollections, wnen it was referred to a few days afterward. The graduating class at Ole Yale, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and odd, had a meeting the day before they were to be made into lhachelors of Arts ; and at this meeting it was agreed that each I man should announce his intentions as to the I profession he designed to pursue. Ten years ; afterwards they would meet again, and com; pare the results of the record. Jenkins had been the ass of the class. By I that good fortune which helps the lame and i the lazy, he had made out to squeeze through j ; the examinations?1hose strainers designed to | , catch the flats?and he was about to go forth I with as broad a diploma as the best of his fel; lows. The president of the meeting called on j I the students in alphabetical order, and each : man gave expression to his hopes and views, j | A smile rose on every face when he said, I "And, Mr. Jenkins, what do you mean to . j be ?" Jenkins had an inveterate habit of lisping, j I which gave additional drollery to his reply as ; ; lie answered, "I ant goin' to be a Tithcopal | | minither." "Ah, indeed ; and why so, Mr. Jenkins?" ; \ "For three reathons : "In the firth plathe, Tithcopal minither' alwath marry rich wives. | " In the theeond plathe, the prayers arc all written out.

Select iHiscelliiiu). JOURNALISM AND OFFICE. In the United States then? is not a more faithful guardian uf the public interest.- than the public journals, and much as is the freedoom of the press abused in our country by libellous and unprincipled sheets, yet it were better that such an evil should be tolerated than that the freedom of the press should be destroyed, for though there are many libellous and unprincipled journals extant, yet their influence is small, In England the newspapers wield a powerful influence, but it is a secondary one. Parliament?not public jour- i mils?governs public sentiment. Fifteen or twenty years aire. Congress ruled public opinion. "With such nu n as Calhoun. Webster, Clay, Wright, and a host of other brilliant minds composing it?that body was the embodiment of the public sentiment.? Public journals were made subservient to Congressional opinion?their course was influenced if not controlled by Representatives in ('omrress, and so far from being independent of Congressional influence, the public press was looked upon as a mere secondary organ?a sort of help-meet to Congress and Congressmen. Put the press is no longer a mere mouthpiece for members of Congress; it is fulfilling a higher,'a nobler destiny. Congress no longer rules public opinion. The billiant talent which was in Congress in 1^40 is not there now; the giant intellects that for the time being gave our National Congress a character for dignity, brilliancy of talent and forensic eloquence, second t<> no such other assembly the world ever saw, have nearly all passed away, and their places been filled by men, too many of whom are poorly calculated for the ; position they hold. And even had not Congress degenerated in point of talent, it could j lint toml tinlilw* nrvininn 'if tlm nnunnt I ..v,v y> -J ..v ...V, J..VOV..V W..J. The influence of Congress once wielded has departed from that body, and is now centered in the public jurnals of the day. Instead of being made subservient to the wishes of the i c5 few, they now control the opinions of the many. 1 The election of our Senators and Representatives is dependent in no slight degree upon the ! nnivimfl V?v t!"?r? nulilln imw< P,.n! VV.V....W r ...v. VVilSll,CT , is no longer the infallible body it onee was ; its acts are either condemned or approved by i the public journals; and this condemnation or approval is the voice of the public. But while Congress has been degenerating, ! the public press has been constantly improving ! in tone and talent, and in a few years, jour-' I nalisni is destined to be the profession in the . t United States. As it is the organ of the peo- \ pie, the people will have the ablest talent to ; ] represent their interests; and such journals! only will be supported as are edited with abili- ; ty, and are faithful to the interests of the peo-! ' pie. We repeat the American press is fulfil- 11 ling a high and noble destiny. It has a bril- j liant future before it. In a few years, those who arc illiterate aud unqualified, will be com- j polled to resort to something else as a means | of maintenance, aud American journalism? ; calling to its support the ablest talent in flic ) country?will be the embodiment of the i lectual wealth of the United States. ^ RAISING AND FEEDING FOWLS. I would recommend to all who intend breeding fowls, whether for pleasure, convenience or protit, to procure some pure breed, of whatever variety they fancy, and then breed them pure, and improve upon them year after year f] by selecting their finest, best-modeled pullets for breeding purposes, and by changing the cock yearly, so as to avoid breeding " in and in." By pursuing this course, fowls may be increased in size and beauty to an extent perfectly astonishing. By the opposite course, tho-largest varieties may be reduced to the size of the smallest bantam. Follow the same a rule in breeding to the feathers. Take a pair ^ of black bantams, with only one white feather, ^ and select from their off-spring, for breeding t purposes, those which have the most white * feathers, and the stock will, in a few years, be j changed from black to white. <j In order to breed fowls successfully, it is of 1 the first importance that they have a suitable J building, for so long as the old plan of keeping , them in damp under-ground hovels, or in close | J unventilated buildings with perhaps one whole ! i? i n:..u i 1 SIUU W ujf w nun uiuaua uii;^ til u iivai^u i y as hot as an oven through the day, just so long i shall we hear of their having all manner of * ' < } distempers, and that breeding poultry is unpro- j Stable. . |, I here give you a plan of a building suffi- i ciently large to acconmiodate from 75 to 100 fowls, which building may be varied according , to circumstances. It should in all cases be entirely above ground, facing thesouth, if eoiivt^itmi. leaving an aperture through which thdnwls may pass in and nut at their pleasure, [nscrl no more glass than is necessary for the admission of light, dimensions as follows, vi/.:?15 feet long, 10 feet wide; ports in front 10 fact, in backside 7 feet long ; roof per- 1 fectly tight, floor also tight and smooth. The sides should he of common, straight-edged boards, battened over the cracks, if necessary, [toast poles of 3 by 1 joist, running the whole length of the back side of tlie building, with prop in the centre of each. For convenience in cleaning the building", f would recommend tlnit the noles be nlaccd r ? on a It-vol, three feet from the Hour, and eighteen inches apart, with an inclined plane in the center for the fowls to walk to the poles upon. Saturate the poles occasionally with whale oil, and whitewash the whole intcriorat lea-t twice a year : keep the floor covered with Wih.d i.re.nl ashes, and when the htiihlinc is cleaned. which should he often.? sprinkle a little air -lack. -I lisne over the floor, hy which I uit**t.- vermin of every kind will iisua 1\ he heft out.
