From the American Farmer. VERY IMPORTANT TO FARMERS. A new edition improved and greatly en larged, of the Bommer Manure Method. secured by United States letters patent, AoRICULTURISTS, although you have favorably received the frst edition of my method, and though, as it appears from numerous testimonials in the agricultural papers, it has given satisfactory results. I have nevertheless seen that the frst ed ition was too incomplete. and that from the numerous questions which have been addressed to me by subscribers, I have, like them, felt the want of a commentary upon the instructions, and clear and pre cise explanations upon various points of the application of the system, so that it may he better comprehended and more easily put into practice. I have written a new work which is more complete, and which,.I hope, will meet with their approbation. It does not become me to judge of the merits of this new edition; nevertheless, I think that I can give the assurance that, in this work, the system is so improved, and its application rendered so easy, that the least intelligent farmer, if faithfully conforming to the prescriptinns and in structions therein contained, cannot fail of successs in his operations. This work resting upon facts and prac tical results which are conscientiously re ported, is presented to you with confi deuce. Try and judge. The work is divided into two parts. The first contains the method in all its simplicity. The second contains explanations and analytical developments of the system; instructions upon its application; some new processes; solution of manure ques tions of high importance ; and lastly, sup plementary articles consequent upon the system. To give you an idea of the new edi I will cite part of its contenis. The first part of the method contains. 1st. Two different processes, by means of which any one can cause, in a few days, the decomposition of all straw and green or dry vegetables, and their conver sion into a rich, unctuous and durable ma nure. 2nd. Two processes, one by high fer mentation, and the other by moderated fermentation, by means of Which any one can reduce all kinds of turfy or swampy matter 'uto a rich vegetable compost or mold. 3rd. A process, without fermentation, to reduce all kinds ofswampy matter pond mud, slime from rivers or the sea shore, street mud. black earth from the woods, &c., into a suporior mineral compost. 4th. Two processes for preparing com post with earth. 5th. The means to augment and ameli orate manure heaps. 6th. The means to prepare "puring," a fertilizing liquid for irrigation. 7th. The employment of dregs or less, residnes of maunfartories. Sth. A process for reviving the heat under garden beds, without changing the litter. These various operations are represen ted by time designs, each occupying its respective place in the work. SECOND PART-FIRST SECTIoN. 1st. Vegetable compared with animal manure. 2d. Four principal advantages of the Blomtner manure over that of cattle. 3d. A dissertion upon fermentation, the gravest question upon the subject of ma nure. 4th. Opinion of authors upon the ques tion. "Should mnanure be fermented on not?" 5th. bly opinion upon the question. 6th. Appropriation of my manure to dif ferent earths. 7th. Appropriation of my manure to. various plants. 8th. Solution of the problem put by Panyen, the celebrated chemist. He says "that the art of mnanures consists in the avoidlence of the too great solubility of materiatls which decompose too easily, and to render soluable those which decom pose with too mtuch ditliculty." 9th. rhe nourishment of plants, and of what they are composedl. 10th. Vegetable metempsych~osis, or transmutation of a dead into a living vege table. 11th. Economy-howv to cause it. SECOND SEC'ftoN. 1st. Four different quakites of saturated water. 2d. The disposal of the place of opera tions in different ways. 3d.'Ley- ingredients; means of proctt ring theti without expense; their fertili zin~t value. 4th; Retrenchment of three ingredients which are not absolutely necessary in the ley. 5th. Employment of ground hones, horn shavings, saw dust, ground charcoal, blood and other residues of butcheries and salting establishments. 6th. Table for reduction or augmenta tion of the ley ingredients, so as to appro priate the manure to the soil and the plants. - 7th. Variations of the quantity or the ley ingredients, according to the size of the heap. Sth. Trho least and greatest quantity of materials which can he employed in the fabrication of Bommer manttre. 9th Virtue of the ley -what it is., 10t$i.A simple process to render ma nure as short as you wvish. 11th. How to reduce leaves to manure. 12th. Reasons why the heap ought to be covered with straw or hay, not with solid or compost materials. SECTioN' THIRD. 1st. Proportion to observe in the mix tures of turfy or swampy materials with vegetables, and why. 2d. The most favorable season for the preparation, of composts after this me thod. 3d. Is it advantageous to use composts in a fresh state. 4th. Regulations to observe in the man ufacture of composts. 5th. European composts campared; or mould compared with mine. 6th. Poudrette compared with my com posts. 7th. Means considerably to augment the manures of a farm. 8th. Immense advantages of the em ployment of human excrements and ani mal dejections. 9th. Effect of watering with "puril" or manure. liquor, urionus, purified water, compared to that of my mineral or earth composts. 10th. Liquid manures compared with s my composts. 11th. Enumeration of 24 principal ad- a vantages of this method. s SEc. IV.-SUPPLEMENTARY ARTICLES. I 1st. Analyses of earths; simple measu- a res to dedect the nature of earths without the aid of chemistry. t 2d. Advantage resulting from this ana- . lysi--. 3d. Interest which every one has in 1 knowing the nature of his lands. 4th. Means to detect tmarl. . 5th. Division of manures; mode in use . compared with that which I propose. a 7th. This method is already in use on a great many farms; results which have i been obtained from it. The matter of the new edition occupies t about 100 pages; it will be hencoforth t furnished to subscribers instead of the abrid I ;ed method, which contained but 20 pa ;es. The price of the patent right is defi itely fixed as follows: a Farm with garden, not over 20 acres, $6 b " " 100 "" 10 ''200 "" 16 1 "300 ' 18 a '-400 " 20 ft Over 400 acres in any one farm, 25 v The Method cannot be taken for only a pqrtion of a farm, and every subscriber is . require to declare the whole extent of his S rable land. . '] By the necessary documents recorded d in the Patent Office, the right for the ti southern and Western States is held by n Abbet 8- Co., of jBaltimore, and for the e orthern and Eastern States, viz: New h ngland, New York, New Jersey. Pen- h asylvania and Delaware. by Ceo Bommer. c f New York, who keeps his office at 75 Greenwich street. Farmers living in t he it Northern States who desire to buy the u rue method are invited to sen.l to my of- til lice or my agent. The only a2nts es- s ablished by me, and who are authorized t i sell my patented method, are Messrs. Eli Barnet, at Westville. Connecticut, f eneral agent for the New England n States, and H. D. Robinson at New b, Brunswick, New Jersey, principal agent a or the State of New Jersey. 1 All agents hereafter appointed will be an ounced in the newspapers of the respec- s ive counties and States. Principal agents who may appoint sub-agents are bound n to give notice to the agriculture public V through the press.--Vhenever this an- je nouncement is not made, the fnrmer should be on his guard not to be duped t ay counterfeiters, (who have already ar- t ived,) and whbo will not fail to otler themn) alse methods for their good money. j To facilit ate the circulation of my me hud, a register is opened with each poet- e aster, wvhere farmers, who have the in-t ention to buy it, can subscribe. These e postmasters will address every mouth a a.list of subscribers to my office, or to my principal agents in the respective States. T'he post masters will receive, in thbe conre >fthe next month, instructions for theirc uidance under the circu umtaces. Every subscriber who having paid the ] price, should not receive the method in due time, will please notify me of the de lay, (at 75 Greenwich street, N. Y.,) when it will be immediately attended to). Farmers, take notice thait Mr. Heer mance, of Kinderhook is not my agent. in order to prevent the Irauds and to counteract the mannuvres of sotne ratpa cious individuals, always ready to invade the rights of others, I will serve them up to the agricultutral public as they present themselves; and in this. I count upon the support of the'press, wsho are also interes ted in denouncing to the public those who mediate justice to them. Finally, it should he known that all copies of the method for the northern and eastern States are signed and sealed by myself. and those of the southern and western States by Abbett & Co.; that any method etmbodying our instructions, wvhich should he circulated under any other name, will he considered as false and counterfeit, and those who make use of it will be prosecuted according to law. Those who desire to buy the right for a State, or for one or two counties within my limits, can address me at my office, or my principal agents in the different States. All editors of newspapers who have more than 400 farmer subscribers, by in srting the present article entire, atnd ac companying it by a small -editorial arti le, shall have a right with a copy of the metho,. tis fuleetent ...., h mthe..v ilege of ceding the. right to any of his friends, if he should not himself be a far mer.-To be entitled to the above privi lege, be will address to my office thejour nal which contains the insertion, and the method will be- immediately forwarded.

St The Senate then went into Executive t assion, and shortly afterward adjourned. House of Representaiives.-Mr.. Wise toved to go into the Committee of the a Vhole on the reference of the various sub- s rcis embraced in the President-s message. Mr. A. V. Brown moved an amendment f refer the subject of the Oregon Terri- tr try to the Conmittee on the Territories, tI istead of the Committee un F'oreign Af srs. Mr. Adams spoke in opposition to this ' mentdment, and the House proceeded to ike up the items in their order for refer- rl nce.a Corrcrpondent of the Charedston Mlercurj. n WAshINoToN, Dec. 20. 0 Int the Senate the business wcs not tI ut of the usual order. Trhere were seve-. al memorials for lndlemniicauto for 't French obligations prior to 2800. There were several reuiolutions from t he Legislature of Louisitna presented by ~ Ir. Harrow-for refunding the flue itm >osed on Gen. Jackson, removing te oht. 0 tacles from the mouth of Red jiiver, dopting some means to lessen the expent- ii es attendant upon litigatin in the Cir- V ~uit Courts of the U. S. &e. &c. Resolutions were adopted calling on a he Secretary of the Trresury, to know a io many leases had been made by the s rovernment of lead mines in Illinois, from 1837 to 1841--how many since that time I --how much had been received, and how I inch paid, what Difficulty has been re eived, and htow much paid, what diffi- I ulty has occurred in colleedng reats, &c. Now without pretettding to much know. ledge on this subject, I think it might, be answered without fear of contradiction, that the expenses have overrun the re ceipts twice over. The first step, howev er, towards reform is the investigation of abuses. Mr. Benton introduced a resolution, en quiring into the expediency of establish ing a manufactory on the Mississippi ri ver, for the put~rchase and manufacture of hemp' for the use of the United States Na vy. In the House of Representatives the whole affair of ametnding the Joiurnal by the itnsertion of the protest against the New Hampshire, Mississippi nnd Georgia members on its pages, has been disposed of by laying it on the table. There was a petition presented signed by some 20 citizens of Florida, challen ging the right of Mr. Levy the Delegate o a seat in the House on the ground ol rlienage, but it was ruled out of order. A Resolution-was submitted inquiring nro the progress of our negotiations for he settlement of thelOregon questioh, but t was also pronounced out of order. There are at times petitions presented in hat House very insulting Ito the people tf the South, and~scarcely a day, that here are not more or less olered. In the irst instance, this black spirit of Abolition vas confined to a few miserable fanaties, Ut now it mixes with every the thing, nd has .ttained a strength that bide fair a shake this Union to its very centre. low men of character in the political ,orld can lend themselves to countenance be proceedings of such it'cendiaries, is atter of astonichmpn;, :nd yet we have Den such, who, rogardless of tho.Consti ation prepared by the fathers of the Rev lution, seem to take pleasure in endeav ring to make the House the receptacle of ich infamous documents. Mr Adams presented one tl;is ryoorning gned by some 24 citizens of New York, raying such amendment of the Constitu on as will forever seperato N. York from ny participation in the sin of domestic avery. ''he motion to receive was or red to lie on the table, wich gels rid of 0 matter but not of the insult offered to e Southero portion of the Union. Sometimes I am led to believe that e dominant party in the House will ea avor (in vulgar parlacce) -to saulk th& uestion of the Tarii; but if it should, it ill conclusively prove that it is not go 3rned by the principles of Democracy, id that it has more regard for men than ensures. The Influenza has been plavaiing to a nsiderable extent in the.letropolis. and ough very few cases have had anything mortality connected with it, yet it has oved excessively annoying, and in some stances caused grievous sickness. Correspondence of the Charieston Pairlot. WAsHTrNaTON, Dec. gl. In the Senate this morning, '.r. Atch nson called up his bill providing for the ttlemeut of the Oregon Territory. On s motion, it was re'erred to a Select ommictoe to be appointed by the Chair. After the pi asontution of Petit:is, a long :bate arose en a bill to settle the title to ca Patch Island. The bill proposes that. e affair shall he derrdte the arbitration the Hon. Horace 3indey. It was fi tly, for the present, laid on the table. Several resolutions of inquiry were lopted, after which the Senate spent a ort time in Executive Session. Noth g of importance was done. In the house-we have had a storm, or ther a collection of abolition. storms. fmer the disposal of some unimportant atters, the petition- presented by Mr. daoms yesterday again carne up. It is am 22d citizens of Illinois, praying Con -ass to pass laws provIding for a conies. n of national sins ; to pass an act ac iowledging the dominion of our blessed Pviour the Lord Jesus Christ; to pass an t acknowledging the law of God; and 'aying such an amendment of the Con tution as shall secure to every individual c self evident truth of the Declaration of depeudence, to wit: the right to life, >erty and the pursuit of happiness. It ks that Cougress will acknowledge the a of omitting the name of God in the nustitution, and of omitting to provide r the abolition of slavery and the slave ade. It concludes by a quotation from e Old Testament, exhorting members to ties the Son by the way, lest ho be an -y, and they perish by the way, when his rath is kindled hut a little." rThe questiona of reception being here uised by Mr. Harrisoni, of Ga., Mr. Ad ~ms this morning proceedcd to argue that, though a certain portion of the petition ighbt como under the rule, yet there wvere ther parts which ought to be referred to ie Judiciary Committeo. Mr. Saunders called Mr. A. to order for relavency. Mr. Adams, w ith much warmth, con unded that his remarks were not irrele The Speaker decided that 31r. A. was ut of order. Mr. Adams said something about the iicktness of certain gentlemen's skulls, '1ho called him to order for irrelevancy, 'lien ho was speaking to the point. He Iso intimated that the Speaker'askull had great atlinity to the skulls of the afore uid gentlemen. A t this remark the whole House was in ferment. The Speaker said it was with rent reluctance that he felt bound to in urfere, but he could not permit such re ections to i:e cast, either upon members f the House, or upon the Chair. He hen peremptorily ordered Mr. Adams to akte his seat. Mr. Adams refused, and remained stand cg in defiatnce, with his arms folded. Mr. C. J. Ingersoll, seeing the had eeling in the House, and that matters night take an unpleasant turn, moved to to into the Committee of the Whol@. Mr. White, the late Speaker, protested tgairnst tho motion. ['to thought the usual tourtesy ought to be extended, of allowini 11r. Adams to proceed in order. A very violent debate on points of orde ollowed. It terminated by a withdrawa af the motioni to go into Committee. Mr. Adams then resumed his remarks Hie denied that the petition was at all die respectful to the House, or intended as al insult. He said that ere lang, numerou Jpetitions would .be..presented asking the House to abolish:Sutnday mails. -Tiede petitions would in substance talc ihe House to acknowledge the sovereignty of God, who has commanded that theSab bath day shall be kept holy. And yet-he presumed that members would,not.o ject to those as insulting to the House. Why -- then should they object to.- thip lhiich asked them to acknowledge the suprema cy of the Creator in all their ddinp ?e hoped the House would not'disgraca itself by pronouncing is as disrespectful.', He wished members weild ear the petition read ; and although the itioners liad.he thought acted imprudently,n .lanswer from the Committee ought to be givou them. Mr. Wise moved to lay theto ogs of reception op ihe table, the effecp -ich would be to carry the petition arsoY Several members demanded the reap ing of tho Petition. Here a scene .ofn fusion arose which no .pen can describe. It was contended by some that ifthe petia tion were read it would evade. the qneuinio of reception as well as the.a'tt-abolitioa rule. Finally, the House by a'vote.of,146 to 39, decided that thi.petition should be read. It was read accordinI jS The motion, of Mr. Wse, io lay the question on the table, was, then ca.riedby a vote of 98 to 80. So th a not received.

I am not 'et in of the Republic," (cries .fromn -r:ba quarters of "that's rghs Holimes ni d - perandum.') Mr. then, ttlUJilos earnest manner, said he confesed'his -_t movement of the old State of Masadi , setts looked any thing but auspicipt 't0 Southern rights. But as arSouthe ibth be would continue to sonad'the.oseif alarm to his coustitnents.

After fir ther remarks delivered in, the most vihe meat manner, Mr. H. sat' down amidst. s crowd of members who had gathered roud him. . :. Mr; Vise again took the floor and corn plained that the South had not met the at tacks of the Abolition metnbers in a proper manner. Mr. Beardsly contended that the only > proper course for putting this matter at - rest, would be to refer not only this rIola.; tion. but all Petitions, to a Committe of A bolition . Members. It would then hea seen that they would shrinkt frdon the res ponsibility of recommending. <that'whiech the Petitions they presented, prayed for, This course, he thought, would be the best. Mr. WVeller cotitend~ed that this coeo -: would never answer. The. experimentf*as once tried, who instead of lessiening'the ~ s" number of Petitions, they increased a hundred' per cent. -. The debate was carrted on amidst moclt excitement udtil a late hour, when with- ~ out taking the question, the House'ad journed. This has been decidedly the most'stormy day we have had for many years.
