D"ar A The issuing of the ; Continental hilis of credit began, as stated ! k i i my last letter, in Jane and July, 1775. | T?ie? first emission consisted of no mere j . than three millions of.dolUrs; hat by the j ?.?.^a,ua icciwa ivlnfh followed. the ag* j r a ?? ..,w. . . ? i ffegnlri in 1779 reached the eqormnus j amount of two hundred millions. Tn that I ?X-. - . I year, not withstanding. Congrcssnddressed j n circular letter to the penpfo at lurgo. in which thev rejected \fith indignation the j id'-n that the credit of the country woukl j E be dishonored by not redeeming in gold and silver the entire paper currency then afloat in the community; yet in the very next year (1730) they adopted the plan of sinking the whole, at the rate of forty paper dollars for one of silver. [ shall never forget the bitterness with which I heard this proceeding deoon iced, by a j nan whom it had ruined. " Congress," said hs, "first told a lie. and then swore to it, (referring to the circular letter) and jjSL by believing them. I have been reduced to poverty." He had owned a valuable aod ff' "T-i ' * beautiful farm, adjoining a thriving vi|. j lage, which he had so!?J lor what he coo-. <* .>< . Ktdc'rcd a verv advantageous price; hu* i v _ he had kept his paper bills, expecting they would all he fairly redeem > 1 in metallic ! rn?>f?v, till they scarcely .mtFi'-cd for the { purchase of liquor with which to begin the business of tnveru keeping. Wiien i ' m.inlioncd. 1 he uitnrea me ...- , he had obtained the stewardship of the1 college of which I was a member. I will j ndj that when I went to this college. I j wore a coat which, about a year previous j Jy. had been bought at the price of a thousand dollars, ft had been intended j tor a British staff oflv*er, and had no mili. tarv appendages; but the ve-s?d which carried it, with other si.ndar articles, was taken while making for \<w York. bv an 1 American privateer??pd from a partner : in the privateer my coat was purchased, j Such were the titties of which i am now j speaking. I; is but justice Mutate, that the course f of events in ot:r national revolution whs { not fo;cs"an or expected by any one, (ill - te ar the time when independence was declared. 'gross, and the people at 1 largo, hoped and believed, as I have here, j tol'.vc stated, that our controversy with i 1 th? mother country would he amicably J ' settled : and after independence was pro. claimed, there was, for a considerable time, except in a few enlightened minds, ( an almost infatuated expectation that The conflict would he short?hat e<t?b cam- ' paign would prohablv i>e the last. Hence, in opposition to the opinion arid retnon- 1 s ranees of (.* merel H usuing'on. soldiers ' were enlisted for a short period; arid hence also, each emission of paper money i it was hoped would he the final one. , i My father was among the first who foresaw and predicted the fate of the de- 1 predating currency, fie hu I good rea- ' *on to remember tfie ()',/ Tenor of Mas. 1 J sichusetfs, mentioned in my Inst letter. j fur ho lost h part of hi> patrimony by its j depreciation. When therefore be saw i that one emission of Continental h:l!s | speedily fieMoweJ another, without any ' provisions for redeeming them, he became J ' perfectly satisfied mat they would be. | come of little \auie. I rememher to have j heard him say. that he com i increase his ! ^nv (riven :imount, by (lie pur. i ... ..... ^ rTuisc of farms on a short erf lit, an I i when the time of payment <hou! 1 con10, ; hv selling ? holt or a lliiril tor a price j which would pav for the whole.

He bought nothing, except a ' j sumII"piece of ground adjoining hi* own, i which had belonged ton Torv, and which i ^ - f was sold at vendue before the currency | 1 h h< sensibly depreciated.* He however 1 thought it hi* duty, when he observed how , his fellow citizens were making sacr'tiees <?f their landed estates to give to tiic pub. ! j lie, his views on the subject of the cur. 1 < I renry. #This he did ir a series of essays. ' over the signature of Eumhxks. which . . ' . trtrc first published in a neighboring i newspaper, and speedily republished in , several other papers ir) various parts of .the country. In those essays he de'inea- i as to its Substance, the same plan j which, short I v after, was adopted hv Congfess for liquidating the public debt.? What use, oi whether nnv use was nia !e c?t the fssa\s, in lonnnjj me l oiiffrcn. sionnl plan, I know net; but the two plans were in principle the khiiio.

Dttken, whose practical j itinwledge of farming is equal to that ifanv gentleman uiih whom we are nr. juainted, we derive the follow ing hints fo> he management of new grounds : Cut down your trees in spring or sum. ner, whilst the sap is in full flow : this rxpeditcs extremelv the decay of the stump* and laps. Croat advantage is ??bnined by cutting your trees as close as wssible to the ground; your swingletree hen passes over the top of ?bo stump, ind von can plough much closer to it ; lesides. the saving of fire-wood is cons*dirahle. and if the tree is a timber one, j nvry body knows the most valuable part j s that next l<? the ground. After re- , moving your fire-wood, never burn the j aps arid leaves, but permit them to re. j main upon the surfac.o of the land, two , venrs if possible; by that time, if they i ivere cut when tiie sap was up, they will j *e greatly decayed. Proceed, then, to j fallow your ground, turning under every i thing that the plough can manage ; if any large sticks remain undccayed, they must I - I I...* ' Tkv ' l)[ course oe reiuovcu i?v iiium, ? i..-. fallowing should be d??ne during tlie fall j or winter. In 1 ho spring plant your corn , and take a little pains to cover it with ! dirt as free from I he trash as possible. Tiie | process of decay still goes on. and a qunn- j titv of decomposed vegetable matter is | r>!)lained, much greater in quality and ijuantiiv, than could have Keen derived | from tiie ashes of the burnt trash. Mr. Dickon, whose experience is very ; great, and who attends to every opera- j Hon on his farm in person, informs us. that tin* system was once accidentally pursued, because it v\us not Convenient to follow the out, and favorite, plan of burn, mg. Ho was nstom.tncd at the result;' he of course con tinned it, and he assures 1 us lhat he has never seen sudi crops of new ground coin as it is sure to pro(luce. Hero, again, is the cover afforded to j :hc land for two years producingextraor- J linarv effects. ;l/r. Darken gave no , credit to this fact ; hut we r.re satisfied j that the office of sheiiering alone, which j ihe trash had performed for two years, j would have been worth more than nnv benefits that coul 1 have been obtained b\ burning.
