.Dear. Sir: I have repeatedly tried the dif
ference between towing wheat among Indian
corn, before it it gathered, and towing it after
taking oil the italics, without being able1 iodit
cern any. Forward corn,' especially in your
climate, might be cut and removed In time to
,. . , , , . t ,
sow wheat ; but this cannot be done to any
advantage in large crop. Because the la
s, bor cannot be performed in time, by the hands
6rthe farm, and in leaving the corn out to
dry after being liken off, much loss it sustai
. ned. In your climate.. I suppose the season
,v lor sowing wheat extends from the 20th ot
r- September to the first of October." Even
hire it is done in that period.; By this. lime,
' the fodder being gathered, the corn sustains
v but little injury, and the wheat may be equally
""tlistiibuted. All depends upon ploughing it
jY in properly. To make the earth meet in the
' line of the corn -to plough deep and cover
; thef wheat shallow and to leave very deep
' and wide water furrows, are the objects to be
attained .Tbcl boes. iollowing . the ploughs
onlyfor"the purposcof chopping the few
upots in the line of the corn remaining unco
vercd, and hanging to the ears that may be
broken ofll , In sowing wheat, I mix up gyp
Bam; or wood ashes bushel to biishet with the
a;ed, and find it.useful to check insects to
preserve the seed from theft and in some
degree to improve the crop. :Tc"

by that, the earth is brought into a proper

Man it distinguished 'from all other ani
mals by reason. . This noble faculty enables
him to acquire and preteryrdominbn over
all (Kc inferior orders bf jrcat1on7top'ercervT,
from the wbrkt of nature, the existence of a
supreme, intelligent Being, and to have some
idea of the reverence: tnd worship due him,
even when unassisted by the lights of acicncc
and of revelation. But IhisJispark olheav
enlv birthw shinea but dimly in the untutored
and uncivilized savage gives man, while in
a state of i ature, but little superiority over
the brute creation. It is only when refined
and expanded by civilization and knowledge,
and eulightened and guided by revelation,
that it places him on that proud eminence, but
a step lower, than angels, and makes him the
connecting link, as it were, between matter
and pure intelligence
. Seeing, then, that we are endowed with so
noble a faculty, and knowing and feeling the
importance of its being cultivated and en
lightened, how necessary is it that we devise
such means as will tend to expand and enno
ble if. We. daily exert ourselves to obtain
those things which will perish with the using
to gratify our passions, or please our appe
tites : We assiduously employ our time in ac
cumulating wealth : But how. little do we be
stow on that better part, without which, what
is man i and with which, uncultured and pet -verted,
ivhat h he f We submit to incessant
toil;' we involve ourselves in daily perplexi
ties and troubles ; we. trespass on the hours
which should be devoted to the repose of wea
ried nature, to treasure up wealth for our chil
dren: But we let their minds lie neglected,
like an unweeded garden, and permit those
high capacious powers" which lie folded
up in" them, to be enfeebled, or perverted to
such uses, as will only render property a curte
by enabling thtm to gratify,- to tlieir fullest
extent, those passions which reason has never
curbed, and which the plastic hand df educa
tion has not mollified and pruntd.
. We need no arguments to convince us of the
importance of education ; and we need only
to cast our eyes abroad, to be sensible of the
deplorable effects of the want of it. We daily
witness the human w mind in ruins," and see
the wretched state-of-man,-when subject to
me wiiaiuryoi unrestrainen passicn, anu des
titute of the influence of enlightened reason.
To the sympathetic heart,' that feels for the
wretchedness of others, that pities their fol
lies, and would fain be blind to their frailties,
this sad debasement of the mind, this brutal
izing of the man, is most torturing. To the
moralist, who looks only to the good of soci
ety, and who deprecates whatever has a ten
dency to disturb its peace and endanger its
safety, it imparts anxious disquietude and a
gloomy prospective. To the christian, who
looks beyond the ken of mortality, who be
lieves in the realities of eternity, and in the
truths of-revelation, it is a cause of much
grief, and of the most solemn and awful ap
prehensions. Let all, then, unite their en
deavors to bring about a reform, and to mi-ke
the blessings .of education as diffuse as the
air we breathe, ahd as easy to be enjoyed.
This can be done, and done, too, at a ti iilint?

MADRID, AVO. 3 1, 1820,
By an express which has arrived at this Court
from Corunna, which place it left on the 38th
inst. we learn the following news of the revolu
tion of Portugal t That it was commenced in-
Opcrto and its provinces, by the Portuguese
troops, who proclaimed the Constitution, nnd
whatever the Cortes mieht institute, and their
august sOvereittnr. Don John VI., that several
other garrisons had followed this example, that
U. N. Uarros, a Portuguese colonel bf the 9th
regiment of infantry, had taken command of tho
province of Alinho, General Wilson, who com
manded there, having been displaced; that all
the offices held by the English had been given to
natives ; and finally, that the liberty of the nation,
had been proclaimed at Lisbon, and the authori
ties arrested, after some bloodshed.
This information is confirmed by other ex-
presses which have ust arrived from Ciudad
liodrigo and Badajos.
It is said that they have adopted the Spanish
Constitution. :
