This is preferable to plenting them in the spring. s the bulbs will have time to throw out I bres and become well rooted; and they will producn more full and certain cropas of seed, than if deferred till the latter pe riod.

'rhe drills should be dlug about five inches deep, the bulbs placed evenly ian the bottom, and then covered at least three inches above their crowns with earth. It will be most convenient to make the drills by a line stretched over the grotund, and to complete one before another is commenced.

I am perfectly satisfied of the value. ofit. Having understood' that Col. Bur root, of Chesterfield, never wained a cob, bit considered it capital-feed. I took some pains to discover his mode of using them. It is as follows; Whenever he shells corn or mill, the cobs are thrown 'into a half hogshead of. salt and waier. to which his cows tave acess. By te time he sends to mill again, there is plenty of room for more-cobs. I have tried this plan with gre.tsuccess. The cobs are hardly soak' ed by the silt water. before they are eager ly devoured by my, cattle. I would as soon think of throwing away my fodder as my corn cobs. Yours, A. R. S. We have understood, upon inquiry, that Col. Burfoot now boils his cobs, instead of soaking them. He breaks them wih an axe, and throws them into his feed kettle, and we ore assured that there is no por tion of its contents that are preferred to these bits of corn cob. These plans are no doubt both good; much better ithan ilirewing away an arti cle thatcontmins so munh nutriment; but, where it could be done conveniently, we should greatly prefer to relieve the animal from tie labor.add trouble, which bee r iuet only half performs, grindin b."

We can add our own testimony to the value of the sweet gumm tea, having expe rienced amazing and speedy relief from its use in a violent case of dysentery, which refuscd to yield to the usual remedies.

He said the -p lings related principally to the ebarter a Bank of the United States, and the p- e and resolutions contained a strong *and masterly argument agai constitutional power of Con gress er such an institution, and was uction of Gen. Dromgoole, the r Representative in Congress from- District. The document was ord printed. The Tariff Bill was then- p. but Mr. Berrien moved that the. ' the day might be postponed to e Bank Bill. This was oppo sed by .Rives at some length, and ad voc 'Messrs. Clay, of Kentucky and Berries some of the Democratic Sen ators. - motion was carried-Ayes 34, N 4. The bill was then taken up, and - Berrien spoke for nearly two hours il favor. Much the largest por tion of peech consisted of comments on est from the P. esident's Message at the g of the Session, and from the Vet sage. in which he argued that the bill was such as the former declara ofihe President would com pel b n, without he wished to put himsel' very unenviable attitude be fore the., ntry.

Sept. 2, 1841. n the 'Senate this morning, Mr. Cal :laun presented a copy of the proceedings of the Republicans of Amelia County, Virginia. reprobating in strong language, the measures of the present Session of Congress. After the transaction of some unimportant business, the Bank bill was taken up, and Mr. Archer spoke for two long hours. About one third or his re marks was devoted to denunciations of the octrine of nullification, and that he, him self, was par exrcellence. the champion of Stata Rights principlcs: another third to proving that the Fiscality in its present shape was perfectly constitttonall, though in its furmer shape it was entire'y uncon stitutional. To crente an institution with the power of discounting promissory notes, ws a gross usurpationi, dangerous, if not fatal in its tendency to ou fre institutions; but to create an institution with power to discont bills of exchange drawtn in New York, on Jersey City, or in Philadelphia, on Camden, n the oppogite side of the Delaware, was a muni6cienit exereise of expressly delegated power, and wvas abso lutely necessar'y to the pr'eserv'ation of the Republic. No one, he said would deny that Government had the right to parchase a bill of exchanige if it was necessary for the transmtission of funds to a distant par tion of the country, If it could buy A bill for a thousarnd dollars, it could for a million. If it enuld authorize the head of a De part meat, or en individual, to purchase this bill, it could authorize two or more indi viduals under the form of a corporation to do so; and, ifthey could authorize tis in stitton tO o deal in exchanges at all, they could authorize it to deal in the exchan ges of the whole country. The remain ing portion of his speechb was an eflhrt to show that Mr. Tyler could not consistent with hisiexpressed opinions, veto this bill; hat the doctrine oftrequiring the assent of the StatesP was a super absurdity, so far above comprehentsion that the $enator from South Carolina, (Mr. Calhoun) who was. perhaps the most astute man in the United States could not follow. Mr. Buchanan briefly, but most triumph antly replied to the arguments of' Messrs. Archer and Berrien in favor of the kite glying hscalityand contrasted some of their arguments with their pretensloos as es ponders of State Rights doctrines. The power of Governmient to purchase a hill of exchange when it was necessay, (said Mr. Archr) gave Congress the power to cre ... a Bank of twenty millions, to deal in the exchanges of the whole country, and to establish agencies in every State of the Union against their wishes. This was one specimen of strict construction. The Sea ator from Georgia (Mr. Berrien) yesterday contended that the power to regulate com merce, gave Congress the power to create a paper currency with which to carry on that commerce. This was another speci men of strict construction. He then an alyzed the fiscality, and demonstrated that it was infinitely more objectionable than the former bill, and if John Tyler should sign this bill, after taking the high and ele vated ground he bad done, in the veto mes sage, he would eternally disgrace himself. He remarked in conclusion, that the Whigs had been condemned for much of what they had done at the present Session, but they had done one thing for which they deser. ved the thanks of every lover of liberty throughout the world, and that was, they had most effiectually done for themselves. This brought up Mr. Clay of Kentucky. and the manner in which he commenced. led every one present to expect an erup. tion, nor were they disappointed. Mr. Buchanan, in reply to a remark of Mr. Archer, that he was better acquainted with what was going on at the White House than he (Mr. A.) was, playfully replied that he was not now, but hoped he soon would be. Mr. Clay took up this remark, and supposed it possible, and on this suppo sition poured out a torrent of denunciation on the head of John Tyler, in which the vocabulary of invective was exhausted, and conclusively established the reputation of the Speaker as the greatest rhetorical blackguard of the age. The desertion of his political friends by the President, (said Mr. C.) would he an act worse than trea sou, an act of moral turpitude, which had never been equalled in any age or country; he would be execrable, atrocious, infa. mous, and would Irender his name loath some in history; but, he thought this de sertion of his friends and his principles by the President to be uuerly impossible-the soil of Virginia was too pure to produce such a traitor. The discussion was furth. er continued by Messrs. Buchanan, Walk er. King, Wright, Linn, Calhoun and Preston. Mr. Calhoun in allusion to some remark by Mr. Clay, as to his visits to the White House, remarked that he had had no communication with the President for the last two mouths, but lie would take occasion tosay that he most heartily iproved of the late veto; and that he op the present bill, which he consider anhiely worse than the former would d ofor bill oabom os (the Distrition is support of his ad most cordially given. en rose and read a lecture propriety of the course the debate en, in which threats and intimida were used on the one side to deter the President from doing a certain act, and flatteries and promises used on the other to induce him to perpetrate the act. le fore he had concludedlhis remarks. he for got the object for which he said he had risen, and fell into the same strain of argument which he had rebuked at the commence ment of his speech. Mr. Calhoun replied that there were various ways !of making known their opinions in the President-one was by confidential intercourse] with the ccupantof the White House, the other was fur a Senator to state them in his place, in the Senate Chamber. It was a mere o,,ntter of inste between him and the Senator from Virginia, and he, (Mr. C.) preferred the latter mnode. Several efforts wer6t now made to get a vote on the en grossment of the bill, but Mr, Berrien in sisted on havinig an opportunity of answer ing the argument of Mr. Buchanan, and moved ati adljnnnmwent. The Democra:ic Senamoms expressed their willingness to hear him then, but he persisted in his mo tion, which was carried by the WVhig mna and the Senate adjoturned. The Ilonse debated for an hour on the McLeod resolution, then talked another hour on varions resolutions which were offered by members, and then adjourned. WastrI!GoYos Sept. 2. The Bank Bill (or rather Fiscal Cor poraion) is taken up to-day in the Senate. But little will be said concerning it. It will go in the President. and if in its pre setit shape, will nssuredty be vetoed-and then follows a dissolution of the Cabinet. It is understood that the President wilt sign the Land Distribution Bill. If so, the Democrats Cannot take office under him; andI his new Cahinet must be from the Whig party. Should this state of things occur, there is a end to his preten sions to the Presidency for another term. WAsatsoroN, Sept. 3. In Senate, this morning, Mr. Calhoun presented the proceedings of a large mee ting of Republicans of Clarke County, Virginia, which expressed iin stronge hut decorous language their disapprobation of the measures of the present session of Congress. and reviewed the promises and pledges of the Whig party during the re cenit Presidential canvass, which are still unredeemed, 'Ihey also warmly appro ved of the reent Veto of the President. Mr. C. moved that they might be read and ordered to be printed- The proceed ings were read, and the question being on ordering them to he printed. Mr. Preston, (who merely acted "Char ley." for the occasion,) opposed the mo tion to print, on the ground thatthey were disrespectful to the dominant party in the Senate, and mov# .z~at they be laid upon the table. This. otion preluding all re pt. Mr f''alhane, aske hatm it mipht be withdrawn, which, aft: some hestisks Mr. P. acceded to. Mr. Calhoun said, be held it to be aa inherent right of tbe people to mak-ta solves beard in the halls of eegislato.,'e all occasions on questions in which thy are interested, when their opinions are as pressed in decorous language; and be would challenge a comparison between the language oflhese proceedings and the whieb Senators were in the daily ahitof using in that chamber: it was far wore& corous than was used by Senators on t other sideyesterday. Were they to pre acribe a rule to the people of this countr. a rule which they 'bemselfes were in the daily habit of violating T He trused the motion to lay on the table would not pre vail. Mr. Preston then renewed his motion to lay on the table, without rising from his seat, and Mr. Benton proceeding to ad dress the Senate, he was called to order by Mr. P., but he was informed that having made his motion while sitting in his seat. it was unparliamentary, and passed for nothing. 1he Chairsusiained thIs opilon, and Mr. Benton reprobated in atog terms this attempt to stifle the voice ofthe freemen of this country, but the attempt would be utterly futile. Mr. Preston then commented at mach length on the proceedings, reading extracts therefrom, (which amused the Senate a good deal from the home truths it contain ed.) and fastened particularly on a remark that the majority bad been pressing their measures with "indecent haste." He ap pealed to the Senate with much gravity, to say if "indecent" was a decent word. He then renewed his motion to lay on the ta ble, and Mr. Calhoun requested him to withdraw it for the purpose of replying to some of his remarks, but he refused, and the motion to lay on the table was carried by a strict party vote. Mr. Benton then informed the Senators on the opposite side, that he had a docu ment ofsimilar tenor, from another c'oun ty in Virginia, which he would present to morrow, and as they would find its lan guage at least as objectionable as the one just on the table, he would take care to make his remarks on it before they got the opportunity of applying the gag by laying it on the table. The Botis' Bank bill was now taken up, and Mr. Simmons of Rhode Island, and Mr. Berrien addressed the Senate in its fa vor. The latter gentleman, in his usual prolix and tiresome manner, spoke for about an hour and a half in reply to Mr. Buchanan, aud man a toevadtbthree argument to p - late commene power of creating paper to carry on commerce-a doctrinew bh Henry Clay, a few years since, when it was ad vanced by Mr. Webster, most solemnly repudiated. When he had oncluded, the question was taken on ordering the bill to a third reading, and it was carried-eyes 27, noes 22-Mr. Rives voting against the bill, and Messrs. Bayard and Williams haviug paired off. The bill was then pas sed, and Mr. Clay expressing a wish to postpone taking up the tariff bill until to morrow, the Senate adjourned. In the House nothing of importance was done, and it adjourned about 12 o'clock. The Distributing bill has been signed by the President. Some of the whigs be gan to fear that it would be returned with a veto. The country would have had gread reason to rejoice had such been the result, and would have triumphantly &us tained the veto and its author despite the denunciations of the Great Dejected &ed his partisans. WVAsie-ozs, Sept. 4. In the Senate this morning, a hill fronr the Honse mnaking an appropriation of 8600,000 for naval stores ad ordinance was taken up, and after some discussion, Mr. Allen moved an amendment providing slat the mon~ey should be taken from the proceeds of the Public Land,. The amendment was lost, and the furtherecw sideration of the bill post poned ntil Morn dy7. The Tarift bill was theu takeO up, andW Mr. Clay went into his long delayed ex pose of the condition of the Treasry. The defich in she Treasury at the close of the year being the difference between the current revenue nd ibe current expendi' ture, will he silteen millions of dollars. The amount of appropriations, including the unexpended balatrees for the present year will be 830,616.560, and the actual expenditures of she year 828,500,000 Thbis is about seteu millions ofdotlatsmmer than were expended last year, and 'a the full6ilment of the promise of refrenchment in expenditure. Mr. Clay said if the tax es on tea and coffee were taken off it would inevitably produce a necessity of ralsing the other duties above 20 per cent. thus vo lating the compromise act, which he hoped might be preserved inviolate if the duties were retained on these articles. Mr. Car bonn replied with great power and afses to Mr. Clay. He commenced with mttch severity on the delay in making known the deplorable condition of the Treasury until it was announced that the PIesident had signed a bill diverting a large end impor tant branch of the public revenue firom its legitimate purposes. Ho asked the Sena tor where were the proposed relbrms and retrenchments that had bean so lavishly promised-intead of any attempt at te form, the whole Session had beea een sumed on projects for squandozing the public treasure--distrbutin-pproprt tions--Ioans-taxas-banks, iEC. lie.
