Young women arc full of tears. They will j tal
weep as bitterly for the loss of a new dress ;ls for i sell

death for accidentally tearing a new gown, and j nea
weep for spite that they cannot be revenged on ! pre
^ you. They play the Coquette in your presence, J sad
1 and weep when you arc absent. They will weep | dor
| because they cannot go to a ball, or to a tea | pai
[ party, or because their parents will not permit Tlii
I them to run away with a blackguard; and they she
will weep because they cannot have everything gal

Terrible Disaster at Hurl gate. j
Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, while f
. Mailleterf was engaged in blasting the rock 11
i In
led the Firing Pan, at Ilnrlgate, a terrible ca- ! 0
w & ' O ' ?
t'ophe took place-by which two of Maillefert's ' s
istauts were instantly killed, one it is feared, ! *
ally injured, and several seriously hurt, inclu- | 1
ig the professor himself. . It appears that Mr. "
lillefert, in undertaking his blasting operations, i s
ploys two boats, in. one of which is contained
galvanic battery,and in the olherofwhich are 111
cod the cannisters. Mr. Maillefert, himself j
des the former, which on this occasion was one j *
Francis' life boats; while the latter is employ- I
hv his assistants. It also appears thatimmetely
before the occurrence of the explosion, , !l
; cannister, which contained alwut one hun ' c
d and twenty pounds of powder, had been !
?ady sunk in the water by the assistants, and
> fixed on the rock, while another cannister ; "
5 still in the boat. Mr. Maillefert, who is genlly
about forty feet febm the boat containing
istants, then approached them for the* purpose '
receiving the wire, which was attached to the j
ister that was sunk in the water. 111
?y some mismanagement or Other, he was ; ?
id<d the wire attached to the canister in the ;
it, instead of that already fixed on the rock. ' ~
ving removed to the proper distance, he then '
tight the wire in contact" with the magnetic
tery, the natural consequence of which was w
explosion of the canister in the boat, while I
charge under water was not fired at all. The i
t, of course, was instantly blown to atoms, !
! the men, three in number, were scattered in

The Whk? Candidates.?I lie Now \orki
'oiirior and Enquirer thinks it is daily becoming 1
lore evident that Mr. Webster is the most a-:
ailable of the three Whig candidates for the j
Sxt Presidency. He excites no positive objec-1
ous anvwhere, whilst both Mr. Fillmore anil,
ieneral Scoli, are violently opposed by local and
-ctional influences, which would render the sue-;
-ss of either at the polls, at best, a matter of ex-'
rcnio difficulty. The vote of New* Vcrk will, in
11 probability. be indispensable to the success
ft'io next nominee. That voto could,
it? almost absolute certainty, be relied upon
.r Mr. Webster or fur General Scott, but, in
res.-lit circumstances would as surely be with-j
,eld from Mr: Fillmore, because of tbe bitter |
;ud which divides tl:o Why Party of this I ,
tate into two sections, of the smaller of which
Ir. F. is the head and front. On the other ;
and', Gen. Scott has little or no cliancc of obiiiniiy

Washington, March 23.?The friends of
Jenerall Scott think that thev can elect him as ,
'resilient, provided they can unite the whole 1
trength of the whig party, North and South.!
loine efforts to hfft-ct t his union are al>out to bo
lade. As I mentioned in yesterday's letter, an |
j -ist le is about to appear, if it has not appeared, I
fhieh was written by General Scott immediate-1
i after the consummation of the compromise'

roval. He also, it seems, addressed letters to :
Ir. Clay and Mr. Webster, while the measures j

was partially concealed by a turban of
glit green satin, put 011 very naively, and which
;ave an oquisite completeness to lior apparnuce.
At the summit of the stairs they were recei-; pi
ved by the lirst wife and head of the harem, a (Jt
lovely woman, dressed in black brocaded silk, m
with a very long train. By her they were led h;
into a stately room, furnished with silk divans, pi- ro
led with cushions, and what looked strange a- Iil

by twy other wives, who, being extremely plain, in

tlio' it is impossible to fix a limit to Turkish b<:
yiste. After a little time, 2 or 3 sons (of course, id
otiiy chil Iren) were introduced, and the compa- m
ny was further augmented by about 30 slaves. tli
The wives and their visitors now began to m
converse, and, as usual in the East, paid each fn
other some flattering compliments. They were so
curious in their enquiries respecting a young lady in
of the party, and were astonished to tiud that she us
was not yet married, concluding that she was at m
least betrothed, would shortly be claimed by o]
her iover. When underceived on this point, and m
assured that she was pertcetly tree, they ex- i to
pressed their surprise in the most amusing man- su
ncr. During the conversation, a.slave predated be
sweetmeats and water, with napkins embroidered A
with gold, A second slave then came forward, an
and, kne.'ling, offered coffee in gold cup -. Sumt - tei
tuous pipes were then given to some of the 1:> -,h

conversation proceeded, aud, turning on the sub- vc
ject of dress, was maintained with great sprightli- m
ness, dresses on both sides being very closely ex- w]
amined, as they usually are by ladies. The en- j Wj

This crop, as a root crop, I consider one of; va
much importance to the farmer. With proper j Tr
attention to its cultivation a much, larger amount j lis
of food can be raised per acre than any other crop M
will produce. I have been in the habit occasion- pr
ally of sowing from a quarter to an half acre, and sal
have raised at the rate of from nine hundred to S4
twelve hundred bushels per acre. I now propose, co
for the benefit of your renders, to state my mode ; gr
of cultivating the crop. First?About the middle j w<
of April. I select a spot of ground on which I : at
had, the previous season raised a crop of potatoes, j be
This ground I plow deep, then harrow it, and
leave it until about the loth of June, when I go j
over it again with the cultivator. 1 then draw j
furrows in one direction, about three feet apart, I
and ;is deep as possible, with a common plough; I p;
after which I place in the'furrow common barn- !
yard manure. After having nearly filled each , kp
furrow with manure, I then take plaster, in pro- i
portion of two bushels to the ,acre, and sprinkle j JIC
it on the top of the manure. This done, 1 then 1
pais round tie* I'm row so fiiLd with manure and pj
plaster, and turn a light furrow on the manure, iI1(
thereby lbriniag a ridge above it. After this, I tG
rake the coarse lumps from off the ridge; and
then, either with a drill or by hand, carefully
plant the seed in a line one the ridge, 10 inches
apart, taking care not to put m jre than two seeds, s;i
> >' - i . ^1 . a :
in cacli p:ace, ^nor piam. mem :o> ultj< m um ;
ground. Tho seed should not be over half an |
inch under the surface, or they will not come
through. After the plant is up and hits got its
third leaf, it is not unfrequently attacked by ; th
a little black Lug or grasshopper, by some called
turnip or cabbage ileus, which will, and often does ^
destroy the entire crop. This, I prevent, success- Uj
fully, by taking slacked limv, pulverized, putting jq
it in a [K'iceofbobinct, or something thine ougli
to let the liir.cdust through, and pass over each * j
row shaking it over the plants until they be- sa
come pretty well powdered with lime. I have (h
never known a single plant to be eaten by anything
like fleas or grasshoppers while the lime (]?
remained of the plant. If it should be washed J
oft'by a shower of rain or otherwise, it may "be
repeated again, as the operation requires but littie
time. After the jdaut has attained the size . 11
of ordinary Cabbage plants, I pass along each 'a
row, and wlierc there are two plants together 1C
pull up the leu.^t of the two, where plants arc
im'cviiirr I those taken out. I then a
use the hoe, corn cultivator;'and plow for dressing.
The two latter for dressing between the
rows, and the 1 oe between plants. In this mannor,
I never fail to raise an abundant crop. The
use of phistor is advantageous, not only on account
of the rapidity with which it decomposes the ba
manure, rendering it tit nutriment for the plants, eh
but also because it possesses in a great degree th
the faculty of constantly attracting moisture, gi

Vegetables for .Tlllcli Cow*. V(1
The pleasant discussion agitated by your in- *wj
telligent correspondent from Exeter, ou tho feed
best adapted to milch cows, and particularly its
to the value of carrots for this purpose, I have
read with interest. It would scorn, that there
need not he any difference of opinion, on a mattor
of so common occurrence.?Hut still on this,
as on most other subjects, we find very different pa
opinions entertained, by those of equal intelli- sel
' ' " ho
gct"'e aim.ih?s??i--\ inmn.
In regard to carrots, it seems to be admitted
by r 11, that they improve the quality of the milk,
however it may bo as to the quantity. It is al- .?
soadmited, that they have a healthy and fattening
influence on the animal that cats them. It M>
is certain that they are palatable, for there is no
class of roots devoured by the animals with more an
avidity. l*'or many years 1 have been familiar oil
with a stock of cows, kept for a dairy and other "
Jrposes, to which carryts have been fed ifloru
less every year. Without any exact excellent
as to their value for feed,_ the impression
ts ever been that they were 'equal to any other
Kjt. If this impression is erroneous, I should
ce to have it demonstrated. But I cannot reujuish
an opinion, without well digested facts
i the contrary, that I have cherished from my
Kith, and which was taught me by a working
an of much practical observation.
I remember a few years since, some of the
st farmers of my acquayitance put forth the
ca that green corn, cut aud fed to cows in the
onths of August and September, and when
ie feed of pastures came short, fort waut of
oisture, was of little or no value. Coming
sm such sources, 1 thought there' must be
mething in it; and that Pickering and Colcan
aud others, who had beeu encooragng the
,e of this article, as valuable for milch cows,
icrlit have been mistaken. Notwithstanding.
p t . ; ounions
thus put forward, I find many careful
en, who rely on their milk products, continue
grow corn for their cows. And I strongly
spcct, that the same class of men will hesitate,
fore they discard the use of carrots entirely,
mong the many projects of improvement now
;itated, I know of no one more worthy the.atution
jf careful cultiviators, than' the comparar.?
value of crops as feed for milch cows. JGvef.imily
in the land is interested in this subject,
o sooner does the infant inhale the air of Heau,
than some preparations of milk begin to be
ade for its nourishment, in seme form or other,
aile life la^ts. Time was, when the potatoe
is cultivated for the feed of stock; but of late
e voiacity of man i- such, that few potatoe*
n be s]tared for that purpose, unless they arc
spocted of being impregnated with the rpt.
lrnips also, especially the ruta baga, have been .
ackod up, as excellent for milch cows, but there
e those who turn up their noses when turnips
e nameu, anil say tney cannoi enaure uieiasw
the milk of cows within the same category,
it we e not for tin peculiar flavor imparted
milk, by feed on t irnips and cabbages, I should
ink these croj s would yield a more abundant
d for stock than any others that can be culfited.
On looking over the number of the
ansactior.s of the Essex Society, recently pubhe
d, I perceive the crop of cabbage raised by
r. Mason, of Beverly, exceeds any vegetable
odiict that has come to my knowledge. Tbo
les from his grounds the present, year exceed
50 per acre, for several acres. When it is
