CHERAW GAZETTE.
Cheraw, Tuesday, November 15, 1842.
We this week conclude the publication of the
U. S. laws, which will leave more room hereafter
for other matter.
On the fourth page will he found some agricultural
matter, and among it an interesting account
of Mr. Webster's farm.
The Great Western from England since our
last, brought out the official annunciation of the
ratification by Great Britain of the new treaty
between that country and this.
We this morning saw a most beautiful calf?the
most beautiful, we think, which ever walked
"Chcraw 11:11." Ho is a calf left by the fine
Durham cow which Col. Marshall lost last sum.
mcr. We regret to learn from the Colonel that he
intends to send all his fine cattle to his plantation in
Alabama.
We yesterday saw a fine thorough bred Devon
lmll of Majot McIver's which, being about to
break up his stock of cattle in this neighborhood,
he offers for sale very low. Any planter who
wishes to cross his cattle with this beautiful breed
has here an opportunity of doing so at little cost,
and without risk.
We have received from Col Marshall a load
of hi? Indian corn forage, and upon examination
find it a superior article. It is well known from
the experiments made in manufacturing sugar from
corn stalks, that the saccharine material of the
stalk is spent in the formation and maturing of the
grain ; and the sugar manufacturer therefore finds
it necessary to pluck off the cars befote the grain
is formed. But on b"oadejft corn 110 cars form.
and, therefore the sugar formed in the stalk remains
in it. It is therefore much better as food for cat.
tie than top fodder, which is valuable only for the
blades. The stalks of the parcel sent us by Col.
Marshall arc small and soft, and taste much more
like sugar cam? than cornstalk. It must prove
crraleful as well as nutritious food for cattle.
Wine Almanac.?We have received a copy
of this publication from (.'apt. Vandcrford, who
has a supply of it for s.dc at his store. It is a
neatly printer J pamphlet of G2 pages into which is
condensed much useful matter, that it cost the
publisher-much labor to collect. Among the conten's
are four distinct calenders and solar calculations,?one
for each of the following places, Boston,
New York, Baltimore, and Charleston; a
table of the population of the several .States and
several cities of the Union; a statement of the
votes for President in Id Id, and for Governor in
1812, in the several counties of all the States in
which these elections are m ide by popular vote ;
a biographical sketch of Ilcnry Clay; essays on
the differences between the present political partics,
on the protection of domestic industry, &c.,
44 with numerous other articles too tedious to mention."
Our Whig readers would find it a valuable
almanac, and Democrats who wish to preserve
a statement of the Presidential vote of IS 10, for
future reference, might find it worth more than
the price.

Dear Sir,?Having understood that letters had

MONTH.
The tariff is working. We have in Birmingham
American hams, equal in every respect to the best
English, at 5per pound; and excellent pork at
Id. The prices of fresh meat cannot iong stand
under such a competition. In the south of Scotland
we see that the best beef, which not very Iong
ago was 8t/., has fallen to 5?7., and mutton and
lamb to Id. and 5d.~-Birmingham Journal.
The graziers of North Lincolnshire and East
Yorkshire arc already suffering grcat'y from the
importation of cattle into Hull from Germany and
Holland, and it is feared that parties who have
been in the habit of selling their stock at Barton
and Hedon markets will find Peel's tariff an indication
of no ordinary character, as Hull is in more
constant communication with the exporting countries
than any other port in England. Tiie im[H>rtation
may never be sufficiently extensive to affect
the country at large, but farmers in the immediate
neighborhood of seaports or markets that have supplied
them, must lose much of their value in con
sequence of the competition tliey will have to con.
tend with.?Slandfurd Mercury.
Apples arc selling at Loughborough at 2d. per
peck ; the very best arc ii. They are so plentiful
that the growers give them to the pigs.
Guide to American Agriculturists.?The operation
of the British tariff having opened an extensive
market for American produce, we offer a
f '\v rem irks and suggestions, which will be fmmd
of the highest possible value, if attended to by
American agriculturists:
Pork.?Tlvc American is naturally too fat ami
soft. In the United States and Canada it i> used
as a relish ; fish and vegetables arc made palatable
by its use ; but in England it i* used as a meat;
hence it requires to be lean and firm, yet tender
and plump; but even with these disqualifications
the American might, at low prices, be gradually
introduced if, in cutting and packing, the mode
rnstomnrv in Ireland ??nrl Ilnmhurcr were adoDted. !
i w " ; ? -v?? ? s ? r
i This is to cut the animal into four pound pieces,
; excluding the knuckles, head, and offal, whereby
| each barrel of two hundred pounds will contain
J fifty pieces. The barrels should have iron hoops
in addition to the wooden en each bilge or end.
Lard.?The American hitherto sent to Eng.
land is not only soft, but not well tried out, and
jhasa grainy appearance; whereas that made in
{ Europe, especially the finer sorts in bladders, has
a fine, smooth, equal texture. The flavor of the j
American is generally, ltowever, rich and sweet, t
| Lt should be sent in bladders of the better sorts.
Bl'Tter.?The great bulk of this article is so
badly made that it has been unable to stand the
passage, and generally proved mere grease. The
original error appears to be in not working out the
buttermilk and properly salting it when made.?
Some of the butter in the United States, especially
that produced on the western prairies, is of the
j most delicious flavor when new, but much of it
will spoil even its transit to the sea coast. A partial
remedy for original careless manufacture is
pickling the butter in strong tight casks, as is the
case with meat; this never appears to be done in
America, but would save much of the produce of
the dairy.
Cheese, like butter, is very carelessly made in
America. When arriving fresh in England, in
the autumn and winter, it is much approved of J
for immediate use; but to keep it in bond, for future
demand or for export, is sure destruction to the
greater proportion of what is received ; for the latter
purpose, especially, it is by no means lufficicntly
pressed or salted. A manifest improvement,
however, is evident from year to year.
Bacon.?What has appeared from the United
Une f.mlt r\f tlm tnn miioll fitf
OldlCS I1US illC iauii vi liiu jrui u | tw>/ imwvm (W?|
jnd is besides excessively salt, probably owing to
its long delay in pickle before reaching the smokehouses
at the Atlantic ports.?European.
The New York Union, conducted byJudge
Ncah was established for the avowed
purpose of sustaining the administration
of President Tyler, and is one of the
ablest administration papers in the coun:
try. On the subject of candidates for the
Presidency it speaks as billows :
'Politicians of course will infer that the
; return of General Cass is preparatory to
' his being presented by his fiiends as a
, candidate for the Presidency. His ability
and integrity are undoubted : but General
Cass will find the entire ground occupied
by candidates, each having available capital,
and quite ready to take the field, if
indeed they may not be considered asoccuJ'ying
their several stations already.?
Among the Democratic candidates ire find
President Tyler, Mr. Cnlhoun, Mr. Von
Purer), Col. Johnson, and Mr. Buchanan
spoken of, to which Gen. Cass rnav be
added."
i * Candidates for (he Presidency arc not
easily made up. Great preparatory training
and interest are required even to
bring a man into the field with any prospect
of success. Look at those who have
interest anri friends, and see how they
stand at this time. President Tyler with
n strong party of the people with hitn, al1
ready in ofiiec, and considered a safe and
| discreet man, and nothing to ho gained by
changing him at this crisis fur any other.
Here is force and availibi!ity. Mr. Calhoun,
with great talents, undoubted integrity,
ami ardent friends; Ex-President
; Van Buren, strong in his native State,
cautious, prudent, and industrious ; Sona|
tor Buchanan, a favorite of Pennsylvania;
Colonel Johnson, a gallant soldier, and a
! sound honest democrat, equally strong in
Pennsylvania and in the West. We

PniE.?A cainphenc lamp fell and

alarming extent, but by the prompt and
j good management of several of our citiii>H
fire was soon extinguished. The
goods were insured. A few hundred dollars
will probably meet the damage. Wc
trust that the repeated warnings of the
j danger of using camphcne, will put a stop
to its use.?Springfield Republican.

THE EARTHQUAKE AT CAPE HAYTIEM. |
A from Cane Havtien. with I '
" I J ' II
which the editor of the Nantucket Inqut-j J
rer has been favoured, confirms nil the f j
particulars of the wreck and devastation
made by the recent dreadful earthquake.
There is not, says the writer, literally 1
speaking, a whole tenantable house left
in the place, and of the 9000 or 12 0 10
inhabitants, not less than three-fourths;
are beneath the ruins. Here and there a
room is occupied in the old town, but inost
of the survivors live in a little valley culled (
Pessette, running parallel to the town, in j
huts having neither floors nor windows, 1
and most of them inferior to the worst out- j
houses on our farms. Of suffering, how.
j ever, except among the sick, there is little;
as vegetable food, the chief absolute necessary
of life, is cheap and abundant,?
that is, it may be had for the gathering.
Some 200 or 300 couples, it is added,
were married during the panic, and it is
mentioned as somewhat remarkable, that
the intense fear also created intense
thirst.
An Unique Boxing Mitch.?An English paper
states that two of the divers engaged in breaking
up tho wreck of the Royal George, qu irrelled
and fought at the bottom of the sea, a few weeks
since, for the honor of slinging up a large timber
to the surfuce, the quantity got by each diver
being carefully measured and registered in the
j book of operations. In the scuttle, one 01 mem, j
| who was being hauled up, kicked the other on J
the head with his leadcn-solcd shoe, breaking the
j lens of his diving helmet, so that the water rush.
! ed in upon him, but was kept in check by the |
air from the pump on deck, which saved him from
being drowned. He was, however, nearly ex- j
hausted when pulled up from the bottom, so that i
it was necessary to send him to the hospita',
where he was recovered in a few days. The oth- I
cr diver, who was unconscious of the severe in- j
jury he had inflicted upon his competitor until
they both came up, was very much grieved. A
boxing duello, twelve fathoms down under the
surface of the sea, is perhaps unparalleled in the
history of mankind.
