. Hfki |Mrg. THE FOUR BELONGINGS. Childhood's dawn, I'm thine! Here I watch the merry hours Weave their glowing wreaths of flowers; Birds on every bough are singing, All the air with music ringing, . While the sunbeams flash and quiver On the eddies of the river. Ah! they change; the songs are done, Clouds flit sadly o'er the sun ; While with mournful step, and slow, From my childhood's home I goHome no longer mine. Hold me, Life, I'm thine! Far away ft sunny vision Beckons me to *eids elysian. Though some clouds are drooping low, With bright hues thsy shine and glow; When the Summer rain is o'er Skies are brighter than before. Ah! 'tis vain! sad heart, be still, Th?w? nq nnfl unftrklincr rill: Stoop and drink, thou weary heart, -v' Life and I in peace will partlife no longer mine. Clasp me, Love, I'm thine, _ Though all other light depart, 8ave this sunshine of the heart; Yet, while sheltered at thy side; I am blest, whate'er betide. Ah! tis rain; the shadows how O'er my heart?thou too must go! Love farewell: Life's dream is done! Mine the shadow, thine the sun. Till afar from grief and pain, In the light we meet again? So forever mino. Take me, Death, I'm thine, Only through thy solemn portal, Can we reach the light immortal, \ Where the amaranths unfading Brows of heavenly bloom rre shading: While within thy darkened porch, With thv dim inverted torch. .- ? - Thou dost chant soft holy psalms; Still wo wait, with folded palms, Until Time's last triumph won. Thou shalt find thy labors done? Take me, Death, I'm thine. Jjiwsiitg Bering, A FUNNY SCENE. A very laughable circumstance is said to have occurred in Albany, during a session of the Legislature at the Capitol, several years ago?of course before the prohibition of duelling by statute in this State. It was an exciting political time, and owing to some "words spokeu in debate" by a heated member, during the "heated term," touching somewhat upon the private character of a brother member, a challenge was forthwith despatched to the offending member by a "friend," as such a messenger is * called in the language of the code of honor. The challenge was at once accepted. Pleased with this promptness, the second said: - "When can we expect your friend ?" "Don't want any friend," said the challenged party. "I waive all such advantages. He can have a dozen if he wishes." "This is magnanimous, but it is not according to the code.' Well Sir?if I am to confer with you directly?what weapons ?" "Broad-swords." "The time ?" . "Day after to-morrow, at twelve o'clock at noon, precisely." "At what place ?" "At 0 , on the St. Lawrence. Your principal shall stand on one side of the river, and I will stand on the other, and we will fight it out!" The "second" frowned. "This is no jesting matter, sir. You are not serious !" "Why, yes I am, too ! Hasn't the challenged party a right to the choice of weapons and place?" "Well?yes?sir;, but not to unusual weapons in unusual places." "Very well; pistol? will not be objected to, of course." "Assuredly not; the guut'iemans weapon." "Very good. then. Wo will meet to-morrow in the little village 01 1' , and at twelve o'clock precisely we will tight en the "Sugar-loaf Hillstamiiug back '0 back, marching ten paces, ii;- .undug and firing. Will that arrangement be satisfactory?" "It will. We shall be there." And the parties s^parv {. Now "Sugarloaf: Hill," "at the place atoiesaid" was exactly what its name imports?a sharp conical pillar of ground, remarkable all the immediate country round for its pecuiia; formation. The time arrived. ;>? ! tiie parties" ap peared on the ground ; but the state of the case "leaked out" very quick. "Sir!" said the second, as he arrived with his almost breathless principal" at the apex of the "Sugar-loa! and survey Itlm ground?"Sir! this i-* n wither subterfuge! What kind of a place is this for a duel with pistols, back to back, and a forward march of ten paces? Why, Sir. both parties would be out of sight <it eight fmrrs, let alone at ten; and in turning to tire, you must tiro into the side-hill!" "So much the better for both of us!" an. swered the "party of the second part;" "we are on terms of perfect equality, then, which is not alwuys the case in modern duels." Out spake the challenging "principal" then, in words too plain to be misunderstood : "sir-r !" he said to the second "principal" at the same time looking daggers at him; "Sir-r! yon <m\ ? rnioird "Well! s'posin' 1"//' ' V??u kn-K I was, or you would not have chaiieu^ <! me !" "They do say" that the two "parties" that went down the steep sides of Sugar-loaf Hill on that memorable oec-afcion, wereusdiificult of reconciliation as when they ascended its sides; aud, i .<?reover, that they were as difiereut in tc iper as possible. One party was laughing, aud the other "breathing out and threatening slaughter;" but nothing came of it, after all. This was the iast of that duel. And, thoughtfully regarded, it seems to us that there is something of a lesson in it, "indifferently well" as we have set the actual occurrence before our readers.?llarpcr's Magazine for February. A TALL BUNCOMBE SPEECH. During the Congressional canvass last year in the fourth District, Eli Shorter, the successful candidate, made the following appeal :? "Fellow Citizens:?I am the people's candidate for Congress,?yea the workingman's candidate; I am not the candidate of the politicians. They hud nothing to do with bringing me out. i lie politicians are against uie. It was the people, the working men, who cu ae to me, au 1 ^ tic? I must run for Coug ess.

Fellow- t citizens I have always been the poor man's friend, and the poor woman's friend. I have f been attending to the business of a great many poor widows for ten or fifteen years, and never charged them a cent for it. I got their pensions for them, and their landwarrants, and I will get them for any of you, a and not charge you a cent for it. Congress c has given all of the old soldiers a hundred t and sixty acres, and if I had been in Con- c gress I would have voted for it too. It was t right for the old soldiers who had been fighting the battles of their country, to be well- t paid for it. One of my neighbors said to me?'Eel-y, (Eli) says he to me, Eel-y, (for s all my neighbors call me Eel-y) if you had been in Congress wouldn't you have gone 1 ooa?

All was not lost, of worldly goods bereft, It'only honor, without taint, was left. SSf An itinerant preacher of the Methodist church was travelling in the back settlement of Missouri, and stopped at a cabin, where an old lady received hitnvery kindly. Ou setting provisions before him, she began to question him : 'Stranger, where mout you ho from V 'Madatn, I reside in Shelby county, Kentucky.' 'Wall, stranger, hope no offence, but what moughtyoube adoin' way up here V 'Madam, I am searching for the lost sheep of the tribe of Israel.' 'John!

An old lady in Alabama objects to the erection of a telegraph near her house, for, says she, "supposin' thar should be a war sending cannons and bombs along the telegraft, and should burst right here and tear everything all to pieces, I should like to I know who's going to pay for it ? Take it , way off thar, for I don't like the pesky thing no how!" Newspaper Education.?Newspapers contribute more than most people are aware j of, to the education of the young members ; j of a family.

House of Representatives, ") February 7, 1856. j My Dear Sir: I received your letter in which you ask my opinion in reference to Southern immigration to Kansas. The pressure of business docs not permit me at this time to go into the subject very extensively. tt is impossible to exaggerate the importance )f Kansas to the South. If we lose Kansas, we lose Missouri, being freesoil to the borders of Arkansas and Tennessee, and trill have to struggle for the Indian country behind Arkansas. Kansas is emphatically he key to the future, we must command Kansas. From the best information I can get upon ;he subject, I am satisfied the current is setting against us in Kansas, and that it will certainly be lost to us, unless the South puts :orth all her energies. To acquire Kansas t will not do to rely on. a mere Southern sentiment, inducing ardent men to go there through devotion to their section. You must combine the idea with another, the bettering )f their condition, in other words, making uouey The North understands this great :dca perfectly, hence their emigrant aid societies, which combine fanaticism and money-making. It is well to learn from our enemies. If wc intern! to struggle for Kansas, tve must likewise combine these ideas, we aiust form joint stock.companies, for the purpose of colonizing Kansas from the South. The money thus raised will be expended in liding colonists to get to Kansas at the cheapest rates, and buying land there. The shares should be put at a small price, so that the entire South may go into the matter.? Thus all may Southernizc Kansas and make money at the same time, for the lands which can he bought at SI.25 per acre will in a very few years sell from S5 to S20 per acre. I have not time to do more than to indicate the course which should be pursued by the South. I ardently hope that the entire South may be thoroughly aroused upon this great question of empire. I shall be very willing to contribute to the extent of my abilities in promoting this movement. I am very glad indeed to sec that the public mind in our State seems to be arousing itself to the importance of the issue, one far more important to my mind, than who may may be the next President. Yours, sincerely, W. W. Boyce. A PROCLAMATION. By the President of the United States of America. Whereas indications exist that public tranquility and the supremacy of law in the Territory of Kansas are endangered by the reprehensible acts or purposes of persons, both within and without the same, who propose to direct and control its political organization by force. It appearing that combinations have been formed therein to resist the execution of the territorial laws, and thus, in effect, subvert by violence all present constitutional and legal authority: It also appearing that persons residing without the Territory, but near its borders, contemplate armed intervention in the affairs thereof: It also appearing that other persons, inhabitants of remote States, are collecting money, engaging men, and providing arms for the same purpose: And it further appearing that lombinations within the Territory are endeavoring, by the agency of emissaries and otherwise, to induce individual States of the Union to intervene in the affairs thereof in violation of the Constitution of the United States.' And whereas all such plans for the determination of the future institutions of the rerritory, if carried into action from within :he same, will constitute the fact of insurrection, and, if from without, that of invasive aggression, and will, in cither case, justify and require the forcible interposition of the whole power of the general government, as well to maintain the laws of the Territory, as those of the Union: Now, therefore, I, Franklin Pierce President of the United States, do issue this my proclamation to command all persons engaged in the unlawful combinations against the constituted authority of the Territory of Kansas or of the United States to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes, and to warn all such persons that any attempted insurrection in said Territory or aggressive intrusion into the same will be resisted not only by the employment of the local militia, but also by that of aty available forces of the United States; to the end of assuring immunity from violence and full protection to the persons, property, and civil rirrht.s of nil neaenfiil nnd lnw.nViirliricrinbnbi o?? r tants of the Territory. If, in any part of the Union, the fury of faction or fanaticism, inflamed into disregard of the great principles of popular sovereignty which, under the constitution are fundamental in the whole structure of our institutions, is to bring on the country the dire calamity of an arbitrament of arms in that Territory, it shall be between lawless violence on the one side and conservative force on the other, wielded by legal authority of the general government. I call on the citizens, both of adjoining and distant States, to abstain from unauthorized intermeddling in the local concerns of the Territory, admonishing them that its organic law is to be executed with impartial justice; that all individual acts of illegal interference will incur condign punishment; and that any endeavor to intervene by organized force will be firmly withstood. I invoke all good citizens to promote order by rendering obedience to the law; to seek remedv for temnorarv evilsbv peaceful means; y a w w i * to discountenance and repulse the counsels and the instigations of agitators and of disorganizes ; and to testify their attachment to their country, their pride in its greatness, their appreciation of the blessings they enjoy, and their determination that republican institutions shall not fail in their hands, by cooperating to uphold the majesty of the laws and to vindicate the sanctity of the Constitution. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents. Done at the city of Washington, the eleventh day of February, in the year of [seal.] our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six, and of the independence of the United States the eightieth. FRANKLIN PIERCE. By the President: W. L. Marcy, Secretary of State. SLAVERY AT THE NORTH. The seven several enumerations of the inhabitants of the United States, reveal some facts relative to slavery north of Mason & Dixon's line, which at this day appear curious : Maine?This State has had no slaves. New Ilamshire?In 1760, 158 slaves; in 1800, 17; after that date none. Vermont?In 1790,17 slaves; afterward, none. Massachusetts?None by any census. Rhode Island?In 1790, 952 slaves ; in 1800, 381; in 1810, 103; in 1820, 48; in 1830, 17; in 1840, 4; in 1850, none. New York?In 1790, 21,324 slaves; in 1800, 20,353; in 1810, 15,017 ; in 1820, 10,088; in 1830, 75; in 1840, 4; in 1850, none. New Jersey?In 1790, 11,423 slaves; in 1800, 12,422; in 1810, 10,851; in 1820, 7,657; in 1830, 2,254; in 1840, 674 ; in 1850, 325. Pennsylvania?In 1790, 3,737 slaves ; in 1800, 706; in 1810, 705; in 1820, 211 ; in 1830, 403; in 1840, 64 ; in 1850, none. In the new States north of the Ohio, slavery had but a slight foothold. The census in 1840 mentions 3 in Ohio ; no other census returns any. Michigan is represented to have had 24 slaves in 1810 and 32 in 1830. Indiana had 135 by the census of 1800; 237 in 1810; 190 in 1820;- and 3 in 1840. Illinois had 168 slaves in 1810; 117 in 1820; 747 in 1830 ; 331 in 1840; and none in 1850. Wisconsin had 11 in 1840, and Iowa had 16 in the same year. jfanner's ?eprtatmt. FEWER ACRES AND BETTER CULTIVATED. That the farmer can realize more from fewer acres more thoroughly cultivated, is a truth to which every sensible man will readily consent, and yet, strange to say, not one n O stii 4 Vl A Y*n fnrmnrQ vrri 1 1 ??i-vsi in a tuuusauu uuuiuv,ut laiuiuio^ um iuuuuu the theory to practice. In urging this fact upon the attention of our farmers you will seldom, if ever, meet with one who will not assent to every assertion of its superior advantages; but you will also hear the old fogy reply, that unless you plant largely in the spring, you will have but little to gather in the fall. It seem to us that we are so afraid of starvation, that we can not trust so much to the result of labor as to the yield of extensive fields not half cultivated. It is hard to make one who is accustomed to planting more than he can tend, believe that one acre with double the manure and double the cultivation will yield more than tico acres with half the -manure and tillage. He may give his assent to the theory; but his belief is a dead faith, which will never be shown by his works. It has been said by an eminent writer upon this subject, 'that although millions of Hebrews inhabited the narrow and rocky land of Judea, and though restricted by the Agrarian law of Moses, under which, as the population increased, the inalienable patrimony of each family became smaller and smaller, yet they made more and more.'? Why was this ? Because the cultivation was of course better and better. But let us come nearer home. In the populous North, we are told that fifty acres constitue a very extensive farm, and that few can boast of so wide a domain. We are also told that land is not valued there as in the South. Here, the older the land, the less valuable it is rated. There it is the reverse; the longer a field (or we should say an acre) has been cultivated, the more it produces; and consequently, the more valuable it becomes. But let us come still nearer home. Look at your vegetable garden. (We here presume that every <jood farmer has a good vegetable garden. We wonder if we are correct in our supposition ?) How much does an oneacre garden yield when properly cultivated and manured ? It would surpirse any one to know how much it can be made to produce under a system of thorough, scientific culture. It ordinarily takes a farmer's family a whole year to gather and consume what is produced upon the half acre gardens, which are too often neglected, and more seldom appreciated by these rampant universal seed-scatterers. In view of these facts, let us examine some of the advantages of planting fewer acres and bestowing upon them a more thorough cultivation. No? a few of our farmers plant ten acres in corn, ten in cotton and ten in small grain, to the hand. This is folly. With such a crop he has no time to repair his fences, attend properly to his cattle and hogs, make manure, cut ditches, or do many other things necessary on a plantation, which in the end would be worth as much to him as his whole crop. And how is such a cron cultivated ? Scratched a lit A tie in dry weather, plastered in wet weather mangled and torn, and probably throughout the whole year the growing crop does not receive one good working at the proper season. When gathering time comes, it is a scanty yield barely sufficient for the support of the hands and stock employed. Mules to buy, bacon to buy, negro clothes to buy, shoes to buy and away go the proceeds of the cotton crop, and the farmer is left with his hands in his pockets, without a 'continental red.' Now suppose he had only planted eight acres in corn, four in cotton and ten in small grain. How easy to prepare for such a crop in the first place, by thoroughly breaking the snbsoil and pulverizing nicely the top by a cross plowing. How easily cultivated would such a crop be, by giving it just the work it needed, exactly at the proper season. He would then have time to harvest his small grain, to raise his mules and hogs, to repair fences, to build sheds for his cattle (which is equal to half feed) and to make more manure than he could haul out. We now venture the assertion that the latter method would realize as great a yield rvnvlionri oa fnrmnr Wn wnn invn nn UUUU UJ iiuv iUljUUl. ff V/ IIVU1U A1UT V MV bacon to boy and need not buy mules. Our farms would be increased in value. Our stock would be in finer condition. Our negroes would be more valuable in consequence of not being worked so hard. We need pursue the subject no father; our farmers have each and all set their pegs for themselves, and all Russia and the Allies combined can't pull them up.?Edyefield Advertiser is ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING, at Two Dollars per year, in Advance.

Yorkville, Mar. 1. . tf ? THE'PRINCETON PRESS, THE design of the inventor was to get np a Press which would answer every requirement of the ! offer made by OEonon Bruce, of New York, in 1851, viz: cheap, light, easily managed, and ca-! pable of throwing off at least 600 sheets per hour. ! This Press will throw off from 500 to 800 sheets j per hour, doing the work equal to any Cylinder Press. The bed stands about 30 inches from the floor, and is the most convenient of all Presses to make ready the form on. It is adapted to jobbing, or book work, as well as newspaper, and will register as well as any other Cylinder Press. It requires, to work it, a man to turn the fly wheel and a boy to feed the sheets. The Inking Apparatus is very complete, and differs from the apparatus used in Cylinder Presses generally, being more like that used in the Power Platen Presses. Two rollers pass over the form twice to each impression, taking ink for each sheet. A Press of this description for newspaper and jobbing, bed 44 by 28J inches, with roller mould, roller stocks, blanket, flying and registering apparatus, &c., complete, will be furnished for $500. If intended for book work chiefly, an extra ink fountain will be furnished for $20. The press, fly wheel, &c.,will weigh about 2000 pounds. The sides, &c., are iron. Length of frame, seven feet ?height, to front edge of feed board, three feet six inches. Any size made to order. The following is the list of Sizes and Prices as far as established: Bed 28 by 20, $400. Bed 48 by 31, $5.80 " 36 24, 450. " 50 82, 600. " 44 28i, 500. "52 82, 625. " 46 30 540. The beds will take chases their full breadth; and within two inches of the length. Tebms.?One-half, cash: one half, note, at 4 months, with approved security; or 2J per cent discount for cash. Boxing and Cartage, $13. For more than three years the inventor of the above Press has been improving it, working it all the whilo, and ascertaining, with great care and expense, the Lest mode of carrying out all the details ?and he flatters himself he has succeeded in perfecting it; und is now manufacturing the Press himself. No Press will leave his premises without being thoroughly tested, and without it performs to the entire satisfaction of the purchaser. JOHN T. ROBINSON. Princeton, N.
