Ho is however, like every ! ct ?cr sound practical man, averse to re. j <~mnniendi?? any thing new, until well j rc^uiatecl experiments, for more than i u * %ne reason and by several farmers, ha\ej imfficiently demonstrated its utility.

As he cut?, he shocks it around trees three ; or four feet deep ; or if on old land where trees are not plentiful, he gets forks and poles, drives two forks in the ground at the distance and (nils a polo from one to the other at top, and leans his stalks! against this polo on each side to t o depth of three or four feet. U?-re he let his corn ' i , remain until housing time when the cars'1 ore cither taken otF and housed separately or are let": on the stalks and fed with j thrm to his stock.

CONGRiSSS. Senate. July 29th. " After some other morning busines, Mr. Pre .ton railed up his resolution, directing i-hat all sums henceforth appropriated for rxtinguishing the Indian title f'?r lands should be taken from the sales of the lands themselves so purchased. Mr. White regretted the bringing for ward of such a proposition, of which the terms, as exhibited by tho resolution itself.seemed to him loose and ill-considered, for a thing involving such important, intereds, and so high apart of a great syste n of party and of public action, lie was surprised that tho ab!o Senator who had moved it should, at so lato and so embarrassed a p- riod of legislation, have thought fit to p-oposo what must necessaj rilv excite much debate, that could lead i to no action, or none lhat was safe. ; Mr. Prcsioti said that th<; Senator's surprise would not have been excited, if he ! had considered the possibility of a coni juncture in which it might he necessary ; entirely to repeal the distribution act. That act and the entire policy be did not) ? I..., r.._ .. | I mean 10 niiiicK, nut u? pioviuc mi u pm; ticulnr case likely to arise. The Treasury ! was utterly empty, the loan had failed. Suppose, then, a State interest of high importance demands that wo seize the .occasion of extinguishing the Indian title to lands within n State, is this to he n charge upon the already exhausted Treasury ? What would be the difference in this i case between giving to a State this sum ! out of your empty Treasury, and thus extinguishing the Indian claim ? I am not n n t making an imaginary case, hut stat'ng a I real one. Either, then, this important ; policy with regard to Indian lands within a State must cease, or under the present state of the finances, the distribution must, to this extent, bo waived. To Senators, personally, thisstate of things, if it is toadmit of no exception, involves the necessity of voting against any Indian treaty of the sort, for carrying which into effect the means cannot he taken from your absolutely beggared resources. He trusted that, if the resolutions were ' to be referred, (as the Sena ?>r had moved ' to do,) it would be to the Committee on j Indian Affairs.

Distribution was (he maintained j with great vehemence) infinitely worse ; than a national bunk, arid worse, nbsfrac| tedly, than a tariff. What nn abstract j tariff is Mr. Allen did not let us know.,, j He ended by proposing an amendment | which would make " all other lands," as j well as those included in Mr. P.'s fe.solution. subject to the payment for these purchases. So that here we have, once more, the whole distribution re-opened at the present stage of affairs.

Mr. Bayard replied that they would, hut he did not anticipate any abuse grow, ing out of this circumstance ; so far as he was concerned, ho did not think it a matter of much consequence, hut while he did not desire to be considered as nccepting the amendment, he did not wish to he regarded as opposing it, and would prefer that the denctc should act upon the proposition. Mr. Calhoun thought, after the case of Lieut. Hooe, which nad created so much excitement, they should ho cautions how they permitted negroes to enlist into the naval service of the United States.

Mr. Bayard said the allusion of the Senator from South Carolina was with re gard to the admission of testimony, which might ho disposed of in some other way, either !>y statute or by regulation of the Department. Mr. Calhoun hoped no objection would be made to such an amendment. There wan a very deep prejudice wnich ought to be respoctcd. Ii was not confined entirely loth- South, hut was felt more or less at the North. This prejudice leads to an entire separation of"the two races. Besides, there wcro the local laws of the South in relation to these people, which forbid them from being brought into Southern ports. Charleston had put these laws into force, and had trouble with. Great Britain in relation to them ; hut the latter had yielded fie thought thrro were plenty of honest tars, good fighting sailors, to he had, without having recourse to the enlistment of negroes.

And wc mistake 44 there" character if this would offend them or44 hurt4 there' feelings." -?44 One of the sixteen" infers that we intended, last week, to designate the mover of the previous question at the late 44 town meeting" as the author of the anti-hog poetry which we published. The infer, ence was not warranted by our language; but as it was drawn, we hereby give notice that we did not intend to " particular" ize at all. That the poetry was written by somebody is clear, That it was in defence of the anti-hog-law, we consider clear too. And that the author therein and thart, fore represented the 44 sixteen" whether one of tfegoa or not, and whether known to any of them or not, is all the inference for which in this 44 particular" we intended to lay, or did lay, any foundation. 44 One of the Sixteen" intimates that he is now willing to meet u* in 44 public debate." The chat, hnge is rather out of season, neighbor. Wfcgn did this appetite for public debate come to you V It seems as unstable as your estimate of the value of hog meat Why, if eager for debate, did you, at the last 44 town-meeting," move to put us in the chair ? And then, as soon as the subject for debate was brought forward, why were you so 44 particularly" careful to spring up, and moro to cut off debate by the previous qu:st on ? Suppose we should become a great deal prouder than we are of our rhetorical powers, and should turn mountebank, and agree to take pert in such set exhibition on the 14 bog hw," is it alto, gcthcr ccrtiin that your appetite would hold out? Who can tell, f:om the part, that you would not again move to put us in the chiir,?or move the previous question ? We repeat that these remarks are made upon a communication which wc do not publish, onJj because they arc called for by the publicity given to it by the author himself.?Distant readers are not to infor that our quiet townsmen are getting each other by the ears about the anti-hog ordinance. When there vcas any talk on the subject?and it tjas very little?almost every tiling which we Beard was more in jest than in serious earnest. If there was the slightest manifestation of warmth anywhere, we saw nothing of it in colloquial circles. And yet slight symptoms of abnormal irritation would not be altogether unnatural in systems disturbed by a tacit consciousness of the intrinsic riliosity of " there" cause. CONGRESS. The Senate is still* occupied on the Revenue or Tariff bill. Numerous amendments have been proposed and all rejected. The present probability is, that the bill wdl pass as it did the House, ^ without any amendment. On a motion to strike out the distribution clause the vote stood 22 to 2o. In the House, the bill from the Senate for the corgonization of the army was the principal sub. ect, the House had closed the debate on the bill in the 3d, and it doubtless passed on the 4th. The morning hour is spent generally in debating esolutions from the Committee on Indian Affairs, ipon a refusal of the Secretary of V?'ar to oomnunicate information called for by the House in elation to Indian affairs. The following are the esolutions: Resolved, That the House of Representatives as a right to demand from the Executive such iformation as may be in his possession, relating a subjects of the deliberations of the House, and rithin the sphere of its legitimate powers. Resolved, That the reports and facts called for y the House of Representatives, by its resolution f the 18th ultimo, related to subjects of its delib. rations, and were within the sphere of its legitilatc powers, and should have been communica;i.
