GREAT NATIONAL WORK! APPAN & DENNETT, 114 Washing T ton street, Boston, proposes to publish, by subscription, in fourteen monthly numbers, at the low price of twenty-five cents each, the Life ofiVashington, BY JARED SPARKs. Each number to contain between forty and fif ty pages. and be embellished with the following fine steel and copperplate engravings. viz. 1. Portrait of Washington at 40, by Peale, 2. do. Mrs. Washington at 26. by Wellaston, 3. View of Mount Vernon, 4. Battle of Braddock's defeat, 5. Head quarters at Cambridge, 6. Head quarters at Newburg, 7. Plan of farm at Mount Vernon, 8. Plan of Boston and environs, 9. Head quarters at Morristown, .10. Battle of the Brandywine, -11. Portrait of Washington by Stewart, J2. Encampment at Valley Forge, 13. Battle at Germantown, 14. Fac simile of Washington's handwriting. The portraits were copied from the original paintings. The plans, sketches, and other en gravinge, have been compiled from the best rawing as well English and French as Amer ican. Special aid was derived from a series of manuscript drawings in the possession of Gen eral La Fayette, which are executed with scien tific accuracy and beauty. The well known ability of the author, the abundant means which he possessed. viz: more than two hundred folio volumes of origi nal manuscript, purchased by Congress, ten years researches in the public offices in Lon don. Paris, Washington, and in all the states which formed the confederacy durng the revo luttor-as well as the access he has gained to valna te private papers in the different parts of the country--have brought into his bands ma terials, original and important in their charac ter, which we trust will be found to have con tributed essential aid in enabling him to execute with more accuracy and completenesr his main purpose. and thus to have compensated in some degree for the time and labor they have cost. - Its publication has not only involved extended and laborious researches on, the part of the edi tor, but great pecuniary responsibinties on the part of the publishers. The prices affixed to this work is less, when the exertion is considered, than that of any other publication in Europe or America. The - investment and expenditures connected with this undertaikinig are much greater than usually attend such publication; anrd it will be appar ent that the publishers must rely on an exten sive sale for their remuneration, Tbe engraving alone, are thought by many to be worth the cost of the whole worth~ To non-stibscribers thne price will be enhanced. Many testimonialhs of unqualified approba tion might be added. from gentlemen who have examined the work; but the publishers conr ceive it to be unnecessary. Letters have been received from many dis tinguished persons concurrnng in the opinion. that the work is in evety respect worthy the public patronage. Among the many who have given the work the aid of their subscription and influence, arc the following gentlemen. viz: John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Jacob Burnet of Ohio, Josiah Quincey, John Picketing, Fran cis Wayland, D.

"Who hath wo? who hath sotrowsl They that tarry long at the wine."-Proverbs xxiii, 29,30. - O tempt me riot to the drunkard's dranght, With its soul-consuming gleam! 0 hide mc from the woes that waft Around the drunkard's dream! When night in holy ailence brings The God-willed hour of sleep. Then, then the red-efed revel swings Its bowl of poison deep. When morning waves its golden hair, And smiles o'er hill and lea. Our sick'ning raty is doomed to glare On yon rude revelry. The rocket's flary moment sped. Sinks black'ning back to earth;. Yet darker-deeper sinks.his head Who shares in drunkard's mirth ! Know ye the sleep the danokard knows? That sleep, U who may tell! Or who can speak the flendful throes Of his self-heated hell ! The soul all reft of heav'nly murk Defaced God's image there olls down and dow,. yon abyss dark To thy howhng home, Despair! Or bedded his head upon broken hearts; Where slimy reptiles creep; While the ball-less eye of Death still darts UMack fire on the diunikard's sleep. And lo! their coffin'd bosoms rifi That bled in his ruin wild ! The cold, cold lips of his shrouded wife, Press lips of his shrouded child! o fast-so dfeep the hold they keep ; Hark his unhallow'd scream ! uard us. U God, f omn the dennkard's sleep From the drunkard's demnon-dreatn!" From the southaern PLanter. BOMMER's M~tstE ?iETHOD PUT IN PascTtcE. We extract the following certificate of the value ofthe manuure made by Bommer's process from the last naumber of the Ctulti rator.-We have in our own possession the most satisfactory testimonials of its ef ficiency in producing speedy decomposi ion, and of the apparent valne of the man ore. But nobody hereabouts has ye' had an opportunity of testing its effects upon a rop ; although no erne who has seen the tnanure after it is made, seems to h ave any doubts upon this point. As far as our in formation and experience can go, the lime reqnird to produce perfect decomposition is rather underated. OIf course different materials will be longer or shorter in rot ting, but we rather thinik that the average will require fromr four to six weeks.-But our information is drawn from experiments made during the last summer, when the process was undoubtedly much retarded by the excessive rains for which the season was so remarkable. Messrs, Gayjlord 4- Tucker.-Being a subscriber and cohstant reader ofyour val uable agricultuiral publication, I frequent ly find there, arttcles on 'Bommer's Meth od of Making Manure.' As these articles are chiefly from the pens of agriculturalists who have followed this method with entire mcess, it affords me unfeigned pleasure tdbe able, on my own behalf, also to beat' testony to the value of this method. and' throgtbe medium of your paper, to make the resth of my experiments and opera tions knowA to my fellow-citizens. This ' do, both ft the sake of bringing before t. e pubict hn eat ael'nntages derived from using the method spoken of, and the benefits insured me by its application, and at the'same time in order to render a deser ted tribute tu the truth. "On purchasing Bommer's. method last spring, I immediately prepared a heap in' presence of a few neighbors. I followed strictly the directions laid down in Botn mer's book. After the lapse of a fortnight, the heap was opened- in the presence of a number of farmers, and ourastonishrent cannot be conoeived on seing the matamor phosis which had taken place, es. we found all those weedy and stramineous materials of which the heap was constructed, re duced ,to rich black manure, having an ammoniac smell, much more pungent than the best stable manure. Beholding so' surprising a result, the farmers present for med themselves into a public meeting, and in that capacity nominated a Committee from their midst, who were charged with the preparation of a report of what we had seen, to be sent to the agricultural press. "1 ploughed in this manure into one-half of a field intended for potatoes, and in or der to institute a comparison of effects, I put the same quantity of my best stable manure into the other half of the field. The effect on the soil was nearly the same with both these kinds of manure ; but the vege tation on that part of the field which had been furnished with Bommer's manure, was more luxurious and the folliage of a deeper verdure, which I attribute to the richness of the saline matter which it con tains, and which alone prdserved the hu midity of the soil during the severe drought of this last season.-It is proper to remark also, that in the composition of the Bon mer manure, I employed simply such do ses of the ingredients as were absolutely necessary to insure success in the operation of making it, and if I had increased these quantities, there is not the least doubt that the result of the Bommer manure would have been far superior to that of any horse maanre. "FPerfectay satisfied with my expori ment and its results, I have put up fixtures near my barnyard for the purpose of pre paring large quantities of this manure ; and within the last two months I have made three heaps, which have yielded me between 200 and 300 loads of excellent manure. The last heap was composed entirely of 100 loads of sedge grass, nearly dry, with which I intermixed 40 loads of swampy matter, such as exist on my farm. All my outlay in purchasing ingredients to form the lye for this last heap, amount ed to between $20 and $30, and in disbur sing this trifling sum, 1 have made a heap of manure, which 1 would not dispose of for $250. "1 shall prepare other heaps of manure before the winter sets in, and those who may be desirous to see me at work, and to assure themselves of the truth of what I have said, need only. call at my farm, and judge for themselves. The benefits which 1 derive from using the method are not inconsiderable. Before becoming ac quainted with it, I purchased every year from three to five hundred dollars worth of manure, which I needed over and above that of my own farmyard, for the two hun dred acres which I have. Now I do not purchase one penny's worth, and I can make double the quantity if I choose. I have the advantage of producing my ma nure in the sowing and planting season. I can make it more or less strong, more or less fermented, so as to suit the soil'aud kind of crop for which I want it ; I spread and plough it while it is perfectly fresh, and consequently in all its strength. These are some of the results experienced by me in using Bommer's method of ma nuring land. JEtRRiT KoUwENnoVEN. Flatlands, L. 1., Sept. 15, 184A3." SM80ELLANEOUS. ON. H. A. WVtSE-Oua Nacw MNSsTa -TO Bnt.Vrr.. We regret that our coilumns affords space for only a brief extract from the eloquent vindication of Mr. WVise to his constituents. We have seldom read a more eloqument and arnest appeal. The snm of his advice is, "TAX YOURSEIVES!!I" or what ? 1st. To pay your public States debt. 2d. To educate your childretn-overy hild of them-at common primary free schools at State charge. Trhat is my legacy of advice to you be fore I leave niy coutitry's shores, to return erhaps, no more forever. "Economy and Taxation !" should be the watchwvord and the reply of the Gov rnent and People of every State in the [nion. Nothing more is wanting to rem edy the evils of IHard Times. The most awful calamity of "hard times" is their depredation ~upon- pubfic norals. They afford knaves the pretext nd force weak men to dodge their debts. hey destroy confidence among those men who are honest, atnd thus increase their wn pressure, But men of stern integrity, f high honor, and of brave nerve, meet the iiculties of the times,'they look debt and distress full in the face, prepare to grapple anfully with them,- and lilte proud and heroic freemen, wvith brows erect, come off more than conquerors-more than ifI cov ered with the sweat and dust and' blood of a thousand victory crowned battle-fields! A true, a brave, and an honest men rises with the crisis in-his own affairs. He -re dues oxpenditures-, he sells every unneces sary possession,=hle parteraith every luxury, he saves every mite, he' watches close, he works hard~and bears every pri'vation un til ho is free again, and until his honor is afe. A n.d asi is wit-lh at,,.n honnsand n bravo man, so should it be with the States. In a -Repurlie the honor of the State is morefprecIous far than the individual honor of every man in it-; and every true patriot in the, State will be more-jealous, more render of the honor of his State than of his own.e He who deserts' the standard of Statlhonor, is the worst of deserters, the bass of deserters. BNaO taxation, then; lay it on heavy until every sliver of the Comrnonwealth's debt is sunk, and every morsel- -of public -credit is saved. Look uponavery demagogues of .whatever hue of par'1', who comes biefureyoi Teniouncing taxcation for the public debt, no matter how ,r on what imposed, as the deadliest of foes to the State-denounce him as one who would tempt you to dishonor. The mad tess of party will forget not only State but ndividtal honor; it will seek to make cap tal out of the want of wisdom in the mere mode of taxation. Punish, I beseech you. he culprits, whoever they be, who would recklessly fix upon you indelible shame and disgrace, for the mere form's sake of taxation. Distrust all attempts to disturb the operations of a tax bill already pasesd. Disbelieve any set of men who come before you with false promises of freedom from tax stion. Listen only to those sincere friends who will honestly tell you that you must le taxed, how- much you ought to be taxed and who will counsel freely and fully with you beforehand as to the mode and subjects if taxation. In a word, learn to love taxa tion as the only means of accomplishing tuch objects as those of paying the public iebt,.and of educating your -children, rich and poor.. See to it well that no revenue -aised for legislative purposes is wasted ; tee that it is all faithrally applied to the rue ends of Government; but be sure to' -aise enough and amply enough for every !nd of State necessity, usefulness, and ionor; There is no easy mode of taxation, io royal road to paying debts or to oduca ion. Industry, honesty, economy and ed ication alone can make you a free and sappy people. Educate your children-all your dhil ren-every one of them! Do you' know ducation languishes with us? lt. The fact appears that of the whole lumber of free white persons, nearly ore ight, cannot read or write. 2d. That of the whole number of free white persons over 20 years of age, more than one-.fourth cannot read and write; 3d. That you have but 17 academies mad 101; primary schools, making Il8 in all, whoa you ought to maintain at least ?58, leaving a deficiency of 141 common schools. 4th. That you have but #,629' scfiblays in your primary schools, anti but 69& scho lars in them at public charge ; when you aught to have at least 7,448 children, at from 7 to 15 years of age, all at public chargo in free schools, leaving 4,175 chil dren of that age unaccounted fof. 5th. That this number of 4,175 children of that age, presumed noCrset to school, is nearly ie precise number of adults; 4,514, who in this generation have grower upig norant of letters. 6th. That this nmnber of adults; 4,514, who cannot read and write; exceds even the number of voters, 4.379' in the District. yth. That, allowing61260'cents to each scholar, you are nuw expending but 3SS, 946 per annum for comnmon- schools, wheu you ought to expend the sum of $50,730 per annum. Sth. That this sum' of $50,730 must be raised and expended'in some way to make the rising generatrion more. learned' than their fathers. My friends !
