The Public Lands ceded to the United Slates in each of the Sta'es and Territories amount to more than three hundred millions of acres. If to the quantity unsold lying within the limits of the S ates, the amount in the territories and regions beyond be nd. ded. the aggregate, according to the Official statement of the Commissioners of the Genoral Land Office, will exceed nine hundred million of acres. This it has been estimated, would furnish every man, woman, and child in the United Sta'es with a farm from fifty to seventy-five acres in extent. CHKUAW GAZETTE. FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2. 1?3?. The reader who may be interested in the advertisement headed Real Estate for sale, will see an addition to it this week. The Letters on Education which we com. tnence copying this week on the fourth page, will, we think be read with interest and pro.it by j all parents, The author was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and President of Princeton College. Ho was a man of c'osc ob. soavation, of intimate acquaintance with human nature, and remarkably sound judgment. Sax.b of Morcs Mlxticaltjs.?The Baltimore American states that a gentleman of that city last week sold a flourishing crop of Moras Muhicaulis growing on a fluid of fifteen acres for thirty two thousand fixe hundred dollars. Pretty substantial evidence this that the silk culture is going ahead. The election of members to Congress takes place in North Carolina noxt week, except a few counties in which it took place this week.? The elections in Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, and Indiana also take place about this time. The Chinch Bug.?We understand thai large numbers of thiw destructive insect have appear, ed in some cornfields in our neighborhood, and have done much injury to late corn. In some places a few were seen last year; there they are now much more numerous. Should they continue to increase in number, and spread, as there is cause to apprehend, thoy may utterly destroy entire crops of corn, oats, and wheat, over an indefinite extent of country, and for a succession of years; it is theiefore of immense importance te discover some means of prevent, ing their ravages. What would be the effect of applying to the corn preparations from substan. ces known to be offensive to most insects, such 4s sulphur, elder (Sambucus nigra,) China or Pride cf India troe (Mtlia Azeterach,) Jimson or Jamestown weed (Datura stramonium,) or to. b&cco? Any of these could be easily obtained in this neighborhood in sufficient quantity to make the experiment, by those who have the bug. The application of the sulphur would bo somewhat costly; but if it should save the crop of corn and fodder, this would be more than compensation for the labor and expense. T he sublima nlnhnr. commonly called flowers of sulphur | is the only form in which it is sufficiently fiuo. The best mode of applying it would perhaps be to mix a small quantity with water, and keep it constantly shaken or 6tirrod, whilst using, to prevent its settliag. A decoction from the leaves of th'o trees and Weeds mentioned might be sprinb. led on the corn with some such instrument as a watering pot. The labor would be less than that of a single plowing ; and all the articles named might be raised at littlo cost except the tobacco. We should be glad to see experiments made with each of thera, immediately, and the result publis. ed ; that, if any of them should i prove successful, steps might be taken by the planters to have a supply of the preventive , agent next season. Who can tell but elder berries, china berries, jimson seed or tobacco : seed may be in as great demand next spring as morns multicaulis buds. To the tobacco and jimson weed it might be an objection that any part of the juice remaining on the fodder would rendor it offensive to cattle and horses. CUBE FOR A SNAKE-BITE. An occurrence happened one day last week a few miles from this place that ought to be generally ki own. John rressnal), Jnr. a farmer on Little River in this County, was severely bitten by a Pilot Snake in his harvest heir*. After 6tnking the snake with his sythe and cuttirg it in iwo, he made his way to his house as speedily as possible, and sent off to a near neighbor for some brandy, having heard that it was good for a snake bite; and there was no physician nearer than Ashboro*. Not knowing what to do, and being in great pain, the sufferer casually laid hold of a bottle of camphor?about half full, ^camphorated spirits?probably brandy,) and placing the mouth of the bottle to tne wound, (the ancle we believe,) he felt partial relief instantly. All present thought they Could plainly see the poisonous fluid escaping from the wound into the bottle. By continuing this process an hour or two, he become entirely relieved, and went back to his work again without further inconvenience. The above facts were related to us by Mr. Micheal Luther, a neighbor of Mr. Pressnall, and a man of undoubted veracity. The above we take from the Southern Citizen, published in Ashboro, N. C. The escape of the poisonous fluid from the wound into the bottle existed only in the imagiaation of the bystanders. A knowledge of the modus operandi of the remedy, however, is of but little _!.L _ t 1-.1? importance compared wiuj a ruow ivugv ui na effect. We have repeatedly stated and again repeat that aqua ammonia is a certain remedy for the bite of a 6aake, as we know both irom our own experience and that of others. It may fce obtained at the apothecaries' stores, but should be used fresh, and out of bottles which have not often been opened. The dose far an adult is a teaspoonfu), in a little water, to be repeated every hour in cases not very urgent. In urgent cases it may be repeated every fif.een minutes. It commonly, we think we might say invariably, affords perfect relief in from two to four houts. A cloth wet wi h the undiluted fluid should be applied to the wound. From the speedy relief which we have seen the chloride of lime afford when applied after the eting of infects, we should be dispcsed'to apply it after the bite of a snake. It might be mixed with water and a cbi.h wet with it be applied to the wound. - k MAMMOTH BEET. Ourrospected friend, David Ewart, Esq., of tl is place, presented us the other day with an exceedingly fine Beet, grown in his luxuriant and beautiful garden. It measures 17 inches round, and 15 inches long, and weighs five lbs. aad s withal of a rich and beautiful color. The above we cut from the South Carolinian, published in Columbia. If the Editor would procure from Mr. Ewart, andpublifh a statement of the k nd of soil in which the beet was grown' with the kin ; and quantity of manure applied, tillage, average size of the beets, ite. he might do some service to the pu ic. Quackery.?44 Ma'am," said a quack to a nervous old lady, " your case is a scrutunturury complaint." 44 Pray, doctor, what is that?" 44 It is the dropping of the nerves, ma'am ; the nerves having fa len into the pizarintum, the chest bocomes morbcrous, and the head goes tizarizen, tizarizen." 44 Ah ! doctor." exclaimed the old lady, 44 you have described my feelings exactly."

Durham Advertiser. i i 8AOO BREAD. | Sago, which is a vegetable production of China, gathered by the natives and taken in junk6 or boats to Singapore, w here it is made I into a shape fit for shipment, i9 beginning to 1 be used by the bakers of London andEdinburg I as an ingredient of bread. The article has ; been long known to medical gentlemen as pos- sessing nutricious qualities, and has in many ' instances been prescribed in cases of inLgee- , tion Of the bread which is made of it, Dr. Andrew Combe, of Edinburgh, states that it ' is as light, digestible, and palatable as any I bread he ever tasted, and entirely free from I the least tendency to sourness, even at the end | of four days of mild weather, which would not , have been the case with the ordinary bread at , the end of forty-eight hours." He also observes "it being easy of digestion in the stomach, ~ ?:n n atloros a presumpuuu mai. it wm uc wcu suited to the bowels also." It appears the bread in question is composed of three fourths of wheat flour and one fourth of flne sago, which enables the baker to make a much bet- ' ter loaf at a cheaper rate. The person wr o ( first introduced it, after its quality had bori ' the test of public opinion, had upwards of five ' thousand applications in one day, and the 1 Edinburgh papers are now filled with advertisements of "Sago Bread," "Sago Rolls" and "Sago Buns " An incident?Caution to the Labies. ?A few days 6ince a young lady with her attendant beau, was promenading and viewing one of the U. S. establishments, in this vicinity, when the fair lady, with truly feminine timidity, became suddenly alarmed by a number of large wharf rats crossing her path?and in her fright she fancied that one of the hideous creatures had taken refuge on her lovely person, bene& vh her dress, which she fortunately succeeded in seizing and held fast in her hand.? Not daring to quit her hold and almost fainting through alarm, she explained her awkward predicament to her companion, when they sought entrance into a neighboring house where the lady was kindly received, and shown into a private room, to remove his rat-ship from beneath the folds of her garments, when, hands off! lo and behold, what impudent animal dropt to the floor ? Not an enormous rat, but the lady's bustle?which had unexpectedly removed from its destination, and caused all the false alarm? It is needless to add that the fair one's difficulties were speedily adjusted, and she soon recovered from her fright. [Boston Mer. Jour. When we read the above, we were somewhat puzzled to know what the said Bustle wa6, and as some of our readers may be as little versed in the mysteries of a hdy'e toilet in modem times, we will give them the result of our cogitations on the subject. We suppose a Bustle to be a certain machine, worn "a tor. go" by those lovely bipeds, which gives them that delightfully hump-back'd appearance (a la mode Dromedary.) eo fascinating to the beaux. To a superficial thinker this may seem a strange fancy in the ladies (for our grand mothers, poor, ignorant souls, grew up as straight as poplars) but it evinces a thorough acquaintance with Philosophy. It is a principle loDg since acknowledged, that "Beauty consists in curved lines," and if a lady is so unfortunate as to have a straight spine, she must, put on a Bustle or fail in possessing the curved line of Beauty. How delightful to see the antiquated abstractions of the schools thus practically applied to the improvement of female beauty. Had Philosophy been earlier introduced into our Female Seminaries, our dear, departed grand.mothers might have seen the matter in its true light, and have had Bustles too, and have been as crooked as Black-jacks. [The above was sent us, cut out of some paper, we therefore do not know who is entitled to credit for the latter part of it.] A London paper o) July 1 says ; "Among the passengors who have reached this country by the Great Western, is a gentleman delegated on a special mission by the Post Office Department at Washington to the authorities of Dur G neral Post Office.

A case has been tried in Hamilton county, Ohio, in which the right of newly married cou. pies to undisturbed slumbers has been clearly /indicated. It appears that a Mr. Williams had :aken to himself a wife, and had taken up his residence in the house of his father. The second jr third day after the wedding, the defendants in :ha sait, with e number of boys, serenaded the >ride and bridegroom, by firing a cannon directly mder their windows, thereby greatly terrifying .hem, and breaking sundry panes of glass. The ury found the defendants guilty of committing a riot, and the court sentenced them to eight days* imprisonment in the dungeon of tho prison. MORUS MULTICAULIS TEA. Augusta, July 20. We have heard that Moras Multicaulis leaves made good greens, good provender for :attle, &c., but it has been left to Augusta to make the discovery, that it also makes good Tea. In fact we were shown a sample the >ther day put up in paper, w hich we protounced, on the smell, fine Hyson Tea, but magine our surprise, cn making the enquiry [as good Teas are scarce in this market) vhere it could be obtain d, when we were inbrraed that instead of Hyson, it was prepared Moras Multicaulis !! There was just about ?nough for a drawing, so that we could not )btain a supply for trial; we learn, however, rom the individual who did make tho evpennent that it made good tea, and that if proper, y prepared, he thinks good judges could not fetect the difference between it and the best iyson. The way it was prepared was as folows; the leave* were in th? cut nto small .trip-rthen rotted up and put away n thesha etodrv, and after remaining in that lituation some five or six days, they were >laced in the sun for a few hours.

After eferring to the Jersey story of 340 dollars wortn of straw berries being raised from one lcre of ground, he says : "To recall our friend E. to regions he was once famiiiar with, we will state their productions in one particular, that New England may not be forgolton. On a patch of 1,800 square feet, being less than one twenty fourth of an acre, a neighbors of ours raised the last season 120 quarts of strawberries, which at 25 cents the quart, the Boston price, would have produced 30 dollars, equal to 720 dol. lars per 5cre! Twent>-six quarts were taken at one picking, so large and fine that they would have sold quickly at fifty cents per quart, many of them measuring three and a half to five inches in circumference, and one reached five and a half inches."

We omitted to netice yesterday, the change in the editorial department and proprietorship of the above paper, which ia announced in its columns of Saturday. 11 appears that its present estimable editor, and our former valuable co-iaborer, Mr. Daniel?, has disposed of cuehalf the concern to Mr. Alexander Met'all, recently joint editor and proprietor of the Troy Daily \Vhig% and that this gentleman will, in the course of the week, take his post as half proprietor of the establishment and joint editor with Mr. Daniels.

From the National Intelligencer. editors' correspondence. New York, July 22. The Great Western, with 22 days later news, up to July 6th, is in ; but, (3 o'clock,) j as I just have the newspapers, and as no Jet- | ters are yet passed through the post office, I i have only time to give you a summary of news J obtained at a glance. The commercial news is bad. The Bank ot England holds the rate of interest at 5 per cent. The cotton market has declined a half penny, and is dull upon the decline. Amen, can securities are hardly looked at. The Manchester spinners have combined to work short hours, and to buy as little cotton as possible. Their power is prevailing. The Bank of England had not been able to turn the exchanges in its favor, and was moving with extreme caution. I see nothing cheering in for nur commercial men, and bad news could not have arrived at a worse time. The Bank of Engla d, it appears by its returns, had not materially increased ite bullion.

When the great public works which are in progress in this State shad be completed, they will furnish facilities of intercommunication far greater than could have been conceived by the most visionary mind a few years ago. Even now, to those who can compare the pres. ent with the past, the improvement in this respect is surprising. It seems like a dream that one can now go from Charleston to Savannah in less than nine hours, and from thence to MiJedgeville?a distance of about 169 miles in 26 hours. Eighty miles of the Central Rail Road from Savannah towards Macon are completed, which the cars run over in about five hour*. The road is excellent, and the cars are better constructed for the comfort of the passengers than any we have seen. Many of the Counties far in the interior are already availing themselves of the facilities which it affords of thus far transporting their mcrchan. dize. From Milledgeville to Augusta viatht Georgia Rail Road at Warrenton?a distance of near a hundred miles,"is travelled overprincipally the night in about 14 hours. When these Roads shall be completed to the great Trunk they will link closely together the ex* tremities of the State by bringing them within a dfy's journey of each other. Aud with the branches in contemplat'on and in progress, and oy the junction of other Jroadsjia other States, the traveller via Charleston or Savannah, may pursue his way with all desirable rapidity, and the farmer may find a market for his surplus productions with comparative little loss of time or expense.

Note of the French Charged <tAffairs at St. I Peter sburgh. The undersigned, Charged d'Affairs of His Majesty the King of the French, is instructed to express to the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh the profound affliction which the French Gov. ernment has experienced on learning the conclusion of the treaty of the 8th of July last between His Majesty the Emperor of Russia and the Grand Signor. In the opinion of the King's Government, that treaty imparts to the mutual relations of the Ottoman empire and of Russia a new character, against which all tho Powers of Europe have a right to pronounce themselves. The undersigned is therefore instructed to declare, that if the stirulationaofthat act were hereafter to bring on an armed intervention of Russia in the internal affairs of Turkey, the French Goverment would hold itself wholly at liberty to adopt such line of conduct as circumstances might suggest, acting from that moment as if the sa:dtreaty ex:eted net. The undersigned if also desired to inform the Ira*' perial Cabinet that a similar declaration has < been delivered to the Ottoman Porte by Hif i Majesty'6 Ambassador at Constantinople, t I. DE LAORENE. f REPLY TO THE RUSSIAN MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The undersigned has received the note by which M. I. de Lagrene, Charge de Affairs of his majesty the King of the French, has com municated the deep regret which the conclusion of the treaty of the 8th of July between Russia and the Porte has caused the French Government, without stating at the same time ] either the motives of that regret or the nature , of the objections to which that treaty may give j rise. The undersigned cannot be acquainted j with them?still less can he understand them. ( The treaty of the 8th of July is purely* defen- ( sive; it has been concluded between two in- ( dependent powers, exercising the plenitude ot l their rights, and it does no prejudice to the 1 interests of any state whatever. 1 What could, therefore; be the objections < which other Powers might deem themselves justified in racing against such a transaction ! * How, above all, could they declare that they * consider it of no validity, unless they have in 1 view the subversion of an empire which the J treaty is destined to preserve] But such cannot be the design of the French Government. It would be at open variance with all the de- , clarations it made in the last complications in the East. The undersigned must, there- ^ fore, suppose that the opinion expressed in M. . de Lagrene's note rests upon incorrect data, ] and that, better informed by the communica- . tion of the treaty which the Porte has recently < made known to the French Ambassador at ( Constantinople, his Government will better appreciate the value and usefulness of a trans action concluded in a spirit as pacific as con- I servative. That act changps, indeed, the nature of the | a -1 . e f re ations between itussia ana me rone; ior, to a long enmity, it makes relations of intima- s cv and confidence succ ?i?d, wherein the ^ 1 urkish Government will henceforth find a ? guarantee of stability, and, if need be, means k of defence calculated to insure its preserva- " tion. ^ It is in this conviction, and guided by the ~ purest and most disinterested intentions, that ^ His Majesty the Emp ror is resolved on faith- i fullv fulfilling should the occasion present it- . self, the obligations which the treaty of the 1 6th of July imposes upon him, acting thus as < if the declaration continued in M.de Lagrene's note did not exist.
