MESSRS. COLTER & SCOOTER, Editors. Let idle Ambition her banbles pursue, While Wisdom looks down with disdain, The home of the fanner has charms ever-new, Where health, peace and competence reign." IT will be seen by close observers that eonsiderable mistake was made, in the fi ures representing the crop made by LsE -rY HILL. It should have read $518,.

THIs is one of the extraordinary sprini and as every man's crop is in a different i owing to difference of locations and differe soils, every man must farm on his own jud ment, according to circumstances, and i we advise one and all to " push along ke m.oveing" every man for himself, and cor cotton, and grass, all together, for us all. But drive up, " push along keep moveinG THE WHEAT CROPS. Notwithstanding the severity of the wi ter, by which many of the crops of whe were seriously injured, the warm weath for two weeks past, has made the crop loc quite cheering, and the prospect for a ff yield, (provided the rust does not injure is quite flattering. Wheat seems to be gro ing more rapidly than usual and its vigoro greenness indicates a healthy condition. conseqence of the high price of wheat ai flour, we suppose that a larger crop of whe has been sown than Tor many years prei ous.' And though much has been kibd o and considerably thinned by the freeziu winter, that which is left will make ma larger grains and consequently a larg yield of flour. This being the case the pri will be reduced, especially as but little the wheat crop will be exported compar with the speculations of the last year. TRAFFICIG WITH 8~AVES. Tirs is a subject in which every farm is deeply interested. Although the law i placed a penalty upon the perpetraters this nefarious crime, it is* obvious .that il penalty is not sufficient to secure farme from many great injuries. Trafficking wi our slaves is a greater crime than stealing slave. By the latter crime, one farmer oni is injured to the amount of the slave's vakt By the former, crime every farmer with the reach of a rascally white man, is se ously damaged in many ways. His propi ty in the shape of hogs and cattle, corn ai bacon, and poultiy, is stolen from him 1 his own, and the negroes of his neighboul liis negroes are corrupted and give him mc trouble in the management of them; whi the negroes themselves are injured therel and made often to suffer the lash innocenti by lying thieves who to shield themselvi manage to implicate and condemn the inn cent. While the law makes deadh by han ing the penalty for negro stealing, we ho estly believe^, that a more terrific penal should be made for the crime of traffickii with slaves. While the poor corrupted ai deluded slave caught in the act of tradii his stolen goods with a mean, trifling, whi rascal, is miade to suffer the lash, we thiu that common justice would also make tl white man, who lowers himself to the lev of his fellow thieving negroes, suffer ti same penalty, This is the more necessar; - vhen we remember that these white mi ,who traffick with our slaves a:4 most gel etaUy just such characters ,a de penalty ithe lawv cannot reach.

Our attention to this subject has bee dircted, by being invited to attend a ma meeting of the neighboring farmers in ti upper part of this District, which met wvei before last at molasses Blranch. As matl meat-houses had been broken open~and rol bed of large quantities of meat, and It hi been assertained, that certain white me were leagued with the negroes in this ra cality, the farmers generally met and unac mnously resolved 3o praowse these perso: for trasAc11g with slaves. Farmers not ow, ing slaves are deeply i, terested -in this ma ter, as they cannot afford to work hard1 make a support, and then be robbed by n groes, who are corrupted by mean whi men and persuaded or induced to steal me ,and sell it to them for one dollar per hui dred pounds, We should watch and tra every suspicious looking pedlar of jug Chiclkens, Tobacco, Whiskey, &c., at abold enforse the lear rigorously. That is too much of this kind of bnisnsarria on and farmers would do well to look clos by to their interest in this matter. At surely our Legislators could not better sers their constituents, than by adding sometii wore terrigc to the penalty, for traflickin .with slayes, __ Soxurrmiro on Ens-s .,% pria cr~op of Indian Corn in the State of Ohi for 1855,1was 162 bnshels per aere.-Prari Farmer. __ ___ TCuss Bsows BloL's,-4eiove tL tted born, 'andbind ti,utnwp with aol well 4arred or "'tqhedLy faaswi dq hin)d wit)a, i'f .he wouu. f~Ir welL cowe,with wrmngtch.-aj.F 4 For the Advertiser. .A1IT FOR THE WAGON Mssis.

I see through your paper, that PINEY WooDs, in the way of a crop-is some, and that CAMBRIDGE, has given him Jzs, but - Good old DARK CoRNEaz, has overshadowed them both. I think however, that I can a stick them all, with my Rowell. I have a little place on the Savannah; - part upland and part bottoms, which under 13 the management of Mr. GEo. R. POWELL, r last year, did the following, notwithstanding e one third of the crop in the. bottom land was destroyed by the Summer freshets. There were one hundred acres lowland, s and fifty acres upland planted in Corn, be. 2 sides, a field of Oats, a patch of Potatoes, n and one each of Turnips and Peas, on up. land and an abundance of Pumpkins, made in lowgrounds. The force employed in making the crop' was seven hands, all told, and seven Horses and mules, besides Overseers horse.

Up. h land cultivated by three ploughings, with asweep, and Lowland had one borrowing, and *two ploughings, with small wrought, Allen . Ploughs. Had no rain from 2d July, until I18th August. SThe Upland yielded on an average, per r-acre, equal to the lowland, (exclusive of dwhat was lost by freshets. on the latter,) ~and was much heavier and finer corn. Used no Guanno. And only manured poor spots e nupad, with cotton seed and stable ma nure. With the exception of about ten acres, the upland has been cleared from time immemorial.. s We don't expect to get the Col's Watch, 0did'nt try for that, only write this, as a sort of gaccompaniment to PINY WooDs, JEssEY and DARK~ CORNER.

SHORT WEIGHT IN STAR CANDI.ES. The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce have apublished a report on this subject, from which 0 it appears that the short weight, as compar r ed with the brands upon the boxes of the va it 4oas kinds of candles manufactured in that .ecity, has foir a long time been a cause of complaint ;iaongst dealers, whilst the con sumer has at the same time been subjected n to a Ioss of from 1 to 2 onees on each s pound hne purchases, Latterly, however, this e deficiency has become so great, and so im. k portant in the article of star candles, as to awaken the attention of the Chamber, and hence the appointment of a committee to in - vestigate the subject.,.and to suggest a reme d dy. It is well kiown that most of the mann facturers of this article pack into boxes by count (say four to siz to $be pound,) and as the candles pya from one to two ounes short of full weight per pound, by count, it a follows that in a box of forty pounds, they - are deficient forty to eighty ounces-say t. three to five pounds, or at present quotations, an average value of about $1 per box loss to the purchaser. It is said that some of ' the heavy manufacturers realize from $20, e 000 to $30,000 per year by this unjust tax, at (to use no harsher term) upon the consumer. . A resolution was adopted calling upon the ~Legislature of Ohio to pass a law to put a stop to the practices complained or. This 4 is but another argument in favor of a gen d eral sy-stem of inspection. e This is certainly a progressive age, when such down-right thieving is denominated an "ujutLaxt," If the Chamber of Commerce had acted in good faith to the public, they would have given publicity to tbe names of e these manufaatuarers. Trhat wvould at once correct the evil, and make them more honest. g-'.Chroniele & Sentinel, PAINTING FARM IMPLEMENT,-A great saving may be made by keeping implements constantly under shelter when not in use.

Henry Ward Beecher, with all his fanatical enthusiasm, says a great many true and good things; and he never uttered a greater truth or a better thing, than the following description of fashionable Church music in the cities; large towns, and villages.-Chronicle & Sen tinel. "A new choir is inaugurated, a new leader, a new dispensation of ambitious dis play, of musical sensitiveness, of quarreling and disgust, of revolution and quartette, until at length, in some congregations all that any one hopes or dreams of, is, singing that shall not damage all the rest of worship. In other churches, having lost every vestige of sanctity, music is regarded outright as one of those forms of moral amusement in which men may indulge without sin, in the church and on the Sabbath', and they plunge their hands into their pockets and pay for professional singing. Then King David finds himself in the hands of the Philistines. The unwashed lip that all the week sang the disgustful words of glorious-music in operas, now sing the rapture of the old Hebrew bard, or the passion of the suffering Redeem er, with all the inspiration of vanity and brandy. When the exquisite mockery is done, and the opera glasses are all closed, the audience close their eyes too, and the sermon proceeds. Thus, music, apostatizing from piety, is no longer a heavenly bird, but a peacock; that struts and flares her gaudy plumes in admiration."* (From the Journal- o( Commerce.] THE FARM= Does the Farmer dig the dirt? Aye, aye; Does he wear a coarse shirt? Aye, aye; And if his cheek is brown With the kisses of the sun, Is he less a gentleman? Nay nay. Does the farmer plow and sow? Aye, aye; Does he wield the spade and hoe ? Aye, aye; And if his hand is hard, And his feet roughly shod, Shall we give him less regard ? Nay, nay. Does the farmer work for all? Aye, aye; Labors he for great and small? Aye, aye; If from out the farmer's store Comes the bread for rich and poor, Should we honor him the more? Yea, yea. Give the farmer then his due; Aye, aye; Though he serves, he's master too, Aye, aye ; And may Heaven its blessings shed Down upon the farmer's head, 'Till we cease our cry for bread, Aye, aye.

ASUES AND PLASTER IN TRlE HILL FOR CORN~ An article headed " Thou art the M~an,' perhaps, in some respects, may- apply ti myself. 1 have for a number of years, it raising Indian corn, experimented with plas ter, (gypsum) ashes, and so on, in variou: ways, and although [ can not tell by measurement of the different crops'in expe riment yet, from observation, I should judge that the experiment of mixing plaster anc ashes of about equal weight, and then drop ping a table spoonfull of the mixture in eacd hill, instead of on it, has increased the crof onequarter, and, the present season, perhap: one-half. Any one seeing my corn-fiek this season, could tell to a hill where this mixture was put into the hill, instead of om it. If plaster or ashes, or both, are to be used, it requires no more time to put it ir the hill than it would on it. Corn, whet young, has *nny enemies, and it may hb that those that attack it in the roots, find this mixture placed in. contact with theil point of attack an objection. Those thai never tried it, try it in some way, and this article may pay you a hundred fold foi taking a paper devoted to the intests of farm ing. ALExANDER TITUs. Tun PArER PLAsT 1N Wiscoxsr.--Un der this head (says the Boston Post) we haven before us a description of a plant discoverec in this country by Mrs. A. L. Beaumonit, ol Arena. She has furnished us with a fine sample of cotton, and also of flax, from the same plant which she describes as follows: "I discovered, two years ago, a plant that yields both cotton and flax from tha same root, and believe I am the first persn thai ever cultivated, spun, or knit from it. I anm persuaded that any article that will make as good cloth as can be made from this plant will make good paper; hence I call it the paper plant. It can be planted in the spring, and cut in the fall or winter. It bleaches itself white as it stands, and will yield at least three or four tons to the acre. From a single root that I transplanted last spring, there grew twenty large stalks, with three hundred and five pods, (containing the cot ton,) with at least sixty seeds in each. From this root I obtained seven ounces of pure cotton and over half a pound of':flax. It is a very heavy plant, and grows from six to seven feet high." REMEDY FOR INDIGEsTION-A friend has anded to us for publication, the annexed remedy for indigestion, a complaint which is so generally prevalent in this country. It was communicated to him by a gentleman in Great Britain, who says in his letter on tbe subject: " Having suffered much from indigestion, I send you the remedy to relieve you. I t arises by rejecting too large a portion of th~e phosphates of lime and magnesia con tained in the bran in our bread ; being quite sure that our all-wise Creator, in giving us wheat for our food to support our frames, placed in it every necessary constituent for the health of them. When, therefore, you derive benefit from it,'please to make it known to our brethren in America." Boil half, a pint of white wvheat bread three hours in a quart of wtater, or a little more, if necessary. Drink half a pint of the liquid twice or thrice in a week, and the effect will soon be perceived.-Goward's Real Estate Register. TEE AaTESIAN WELL.--Mjor Welton, tihe 'entleman under whose direction the Artesian Vell has progressed to its present condition, is now superintending the work upon another well o 12 inch bore, within a few feet of the first one, and has already reached the depth of 134 feet. He considers suecess indubtiable, although the task of boring to the depth of 1250 feet, through the strata of rock, which were encoun tered in the firqt experiment, would seem some what discouraging. A steam.engine of five horse power is employed in the work. The old well still discharges water at the rate of 25 gal. Lona per minute, or 39,000 gallons in t wenty-four bosjrs.
