Few bate spoken with more mildness or with more propriety than Dr. Miner, and the indisputable correctness of his observations will at once be admitted by all whose ia tercourse with society has given them the least ac3uaintnc wiih humao oalure ...If tbe qualities hero doliocatod are essential to the reputation of a physician, we can easily perceive bow mucb more important they must be to the character of christians. '" The most important point is to acquire self-comtnajx4, if waever expect io have any 'permanent inuuence over otbera. We muat not 4od our balaoce wheoever we meet with any trifliocr unpleasant circum stance. We are never to expect to have every thing go exactly right in this world. At least we can make only a distant ap. proximatioQ to perfection. 1 his is all we are to expect in others, and certainly it is II a modest man can expect others to find in mm. in a certain' sense, as I stud on another public occasion, 1 consider oar profession to be kind of missionaries to cultivate, Improve and reform the world tor this purpose wo must take tbe world exactly aa it is. Wo are to endeavor to palliate the evils which come within our sphere, not to quarrel with them and be constantly complaining of them and of our warn oi corpproe aucces3 w o are aiso to bear wirbteetedojEu those which we can not remove. Though we cannot effect every wing that might be desirable, yet we ran all ontributo something to the generai good. Next to self-control, or an almost imperturbable, eeuantmity,- probably the most important circumstance in the elm me ter fur influence is independence and firm ness. And perhaps no two qualities are more commonly mistaken and misunder stood. Independence consists in a man's thinking for himself 'firmness, in acting for himself, according to the dictates of his conscienceT There is a wrong .as well as a right way or exhibiting both or these qualities. They ought rarely, if ever, to be called into operation upon matters of in difference or mere expediency; and when they are required they usually have much moie influence when exercised in a smooth than iir a rough and forbidding manner. It is a great error to imagine that a man can not be independent unless he thinks diffe rently from tbe great mass of mankind upon plain and common senso topics, so that he must be always disputing and taking the opposite side. lie also mokes the same mistake as to firmness, by obstinately ad. hering to matters of little importance. People of thia description ore generally the I last to yield to others the liberties they are constantly taking themselves, and though i always inclined to dispute, are yet the most j impatient when their own opinions are con troverted, even in the most delicate man. tier. - 1 hey are a kind of noli me vmeert with which it is difficult to come in contact without receiving a stjng.. Such a chorac- ter never succeeds well in any situation. nd it is most of all unhappy in a profes sional man " True independence and firmness keep man stable and consistent, without lead. ing him into the extreme measures of an ultra partizan. He adheres steadily to his own opinions, but does not obtrude them when they are uncalled for the occasion. f he happens to bs attacked, he defends him. tctf wall such prudence ao d himself apparently into the wrong. It is not uncommon to defend a good cause witn bad spirit, so that the original subject ol contention is entirely lost sight or by the spectators, who are led to take part against the man who was originally aggrieved, merely from his injudicious management " Above all, whoever means to get along smoothly with his medical brethren, and pleasantly with himself and the world must beware of indulging jealousy and suspicion. He must shut his ears to tattlers and in. formers. No piece of unpleasant informa. tion is ever related with all its attendant circumstances. In free conversation we mention occasionally the whims and foibles of even our best friends. We cannot be under tbe restraint of a gag-law. Many things, therefore, thoughtlessly and care lessly or humorously taid which have little or no meaning at the time, but if they are repealed, especially aa they come from the mouth of la tattler, they wear a different aspect. A sensitiveness to this kind of in. formation ia one of tbe moat unfortunate conditions into which a professional man can fall. He soon magnifies molehills into mountains, and becomes a monomaniac, by believing that every man is against him who does not speak of him as if he had arrived at absolute perfection." If tbe tattler ia a knave, he who listens to him ! fool.! Indeed, it is often diijji. cult to say which has the greater guilt the man who speaks what he should not or tbe roan' who paya attention to what is thus spoken.

"; Tnm tbe Albany Cultivator. . 4 State ei the cwsmtry. A knowledge of the products of the country, their separate values, the relation they bear to each other, the number of per sons a tip loved in each .department of in. dustry, and the various results arising from each, would seem requisite to all who would understand the true condition of the nation, or of each individval interest We have given a general report, of the productive wealth ot the country, so feir as tbe earth la concerned ; and we now give some ta blei. most of which' we find Drenared tc our band by the accurate and indefatigabl editor of the Tribune, .which will show more fully than the former tbe relative values of these several products. With". out such condensed tables, it is difficult to approximate to the truth in such matters; and the interest that makes the most noise, ov the product that is kept most constantly before the public eye, ia very apt to assume a undue importance in the estimate of pro. ductive industry, or the aggregate of a na tion e wealth. Labor in some form, either in the production of the raw material, its manufacture, or its exchanges, is tbe only source of wealth : and it is time that this great truth was universally felt and acknowl edged. The proceeds of labor in the Uni ted States, according to the last census, may be stated as follows t Agriculture, f 094,452,000 Manufactures, 305,300,000 Mines, 59,868,000 Forests, 17,615,000 Fisheries, U 06,000 Horticulture, 3,119,000 1 $1,292,041,000 This is truly a surprising product, but there is no reason to believe it is overrated ; if enormous, the error most likely lies the other way. An annual product fro re these departments of -labor, of thirteen hundred mutant of dollars, one-half of which be. longs to agriculture. Suppose we examine for a moment some of the items of this aggregate; 91 million bushels of wheat, 387 million bushels of corn. No one can estimate the valno of these two items at less than 250 millions of dollars:" Cotton comes next', io the amount of $64,000,000. And here we may remark, that in tneesti. mates made of the product of American labor, cotton is always placed at the head ; and why 1 Not because of its actual value, but because nations are graciously pleased to permit us at the present time to export the article ; and hence tbe word cotton is continually before the eye. One fact will show that the relative position of cotton in the scale or value is wrong, t he cotton crop " is less than one-twtlflh part of l ho ffriciiftura product ion of the United Slates, less than one-etxtA part ol the nutnutuclur. ing products, and less than oke-twkhtieth part of the annual production of tbe United States." In actual value to the country, both wheat and corn are before cotton ; and this fact ahould not be forgotten by political economists. : . " Cotton, $64,142,000 Total of agriculture, 694,000,000 Total of manufactures, 434,000,000 The difference in the estimate of mahu. faciures io this and the first table given, is owing to the fact, that tlie product of iron is placed under the head-of miberrwhen it ahould, with the exception of the value of the Qrbavehecn placed to the credit of manufactures. It may be well in this place to give a few of the most important items of manufactures aa shown by the census, as it wilt afford the meana of comparing them with those already given of agncul. lure Cotton goods, 46,350,000 20,696,000 Woolen, Fiaxr -822,000, Mixed, Machinery, Hardware, Leather Hats and caps, Soap, Candles, Sugar, Pape, Furniture, Cordage, 6,555,000 10,980,000 6,451,000 38,178,000 8,704,000 2,400,000 2,687,000 3,250,000 6,155,000 7,552,000 4,078,000 36,316,000 Iron and castings, ' A glance at our products will show that we have all the elements of independence and national prosperity among'ourselves ; and the fact of our indebtedness to other nations shows a disgraceful disregard to the most common principles of economy, or the encouragement ofj0!!e industry. With auch vast sgricultural resources, with such an amount of the products of the soil, with the means of increasing these pro ducts to,tiy extent, is it not astonishing that our imports so much exceed our ex. ports? Is it not strange that instead of paying our foreign debts in our own sgri cultural products, and purchasing foreign goods in the same way, we allow ourselves to be drained of the precious metals, our currency deronped, and our prosperity se riously endangered ! These things would be strange, were not the cause one which cannot be mistaken. It ia useless to deny that we are hewers of wood and drawers of water to the manufacturers of other nations, and made so by their protective and restrictive systems. Confident in our caphiTitiea andVouV. resources f we have pushed our resources, we have pushed our free trade principles to the verge of absur dity, if not 6T ruin; we have (bund that the free trade of tbe old world is like the handle of a jugall on one aider that preaching Buch doctrinea i vary different thing from practicing tbejji) and that some system of reciprocity must be adopted, or ins pressure and sunering the country is mw experiencing most continue, muthat Americans ask is equality of rights, a re- ciprucuy, in iraae ; that other would do by ua as we are doing by them.

It is the want of reciprocity; the widely different footing on which we and other nations stand jnregard to each other. The Government may spend years longer in tinkering with the banks, or regulating tho currency, but it will do no good. The evil lies deeper. Tho experience of all Commercial and agricultural nations proves tnat no sound currency can bo maintained, no continued prosperity enjoyed, where the principle of reciprocity is departed from in their intercourse. A glance at the duties imposed on our products by Great Britain, ill demonstrate that in all these cases she has approached the verge of prohibition, with tho single exception of the article of cotton ; and the reason of her forbearance fn this respect is evident Cotton she must have ; nnd at present she can only obtain it in sufficient quantities from the United States. Would she receive it at the pre sent duty, could she produce it in her own dominions? This is a serious question, nndone which the course of events ft ra pidly bringing .to its answer. ; The rapid increase of India cottons, as shown by the ;mport8 into ureat Britain from that coun try ; the vigorous and determined efforts of the Government to extend and perfect the cotton crop of that region ; ..and the exulta tion of Die Union press at the evident suc cess of these efforts, demonstrate what that answer will be, when the time arrives for its utterance. From the Farmers' Cabinet. Ectn4uy. metjgrs,,jjaUiior3, ceo ruing io me re ports from nil parts of our vast country, it would appear that the crop of wheat, rye, oats and grass, have been good. The wheat and rye will probably not prove quite so heavy as was at one time anticipated ; the rust having at a late period in the season, done considerable injury. In some districts oi niaryiana ana Virginia, tins injury was very serious. Still the crops above men. tioiied, throughout the country, will be full averagn ones, And I know nothing more thoroughly calculated to revive the droop. ing aspect of the times," than good crops, economical habits, and cheerful spirits. Should the autumn add to the summer's abundance, and give us a full crop of Indian corn, that prince of grains and sliould the cotton and tobacco crops of tlie South prove also luxuriant, our garners will be overflowing, and we may liope, that now. ever the means of many may bo inconve niently reduced, the prospect of suffering will be greatly diminished, and we need have little fear of serration threatening us, by the side of poverty. The wheat harvest in England has promised favorably, and unless a foreign 'market shall pperi exten sively, the products of our fields must ne cessarily command low prices. Withabun. dance in the market, a limited demand, and withal, a deranged and crippled state of our mo meg institutions, and money matters generally, it will of course be more diffi cult than it has sometimes been, to make cash sales of our grain, beef, pork, &c., that will at all pay the expense of raising and getting them to market. Wages con tinue high, notwithstanding; we hear so much said about the thousands that are thrown out of employment. We have all, however, lonir suo observed, that thenrice labor is slow to fall, though the products of it may have greatly diminished in value. What thenl lo be doner With overflow. hg garners, and all the potentialities of living, is the farmer to be obliged to hang his head in cheerlessness ? We must not. The farmer who is in debt, or who is barely out of debt, or living, on rented land, and of bis farm, if be would rise above tbe perplexities of a city business, must bring all his wlts iiitd"-plays put on his studying cap, and practice retrenchment. He must tuxry eeonomy in tyzrj particular . l know rom experience, that a system of atth pay. ments. for all we, boy. is amonir the very best, and most efficient incentives to this necessary virtue. The good credit and fair character or many a farmer, have placed him upon bis laM legt, and their abuse has proved bis ruin. 1 don t mean that a farm, er shall never make us of his crtdil; but it is so easy to buy what ana, think we need, when pay day is put off for six months; or a yoer, that the Temptation to purchase what we might well do without, ia often. times so strong, that its Indulgence leads to the most serious, results. Let us then pay the casA for what we buy, and we will save in the purchase, five orienTier cents shall often avoid buying what we only im agine wq need, and spare ourselves the Ttarrassments of unpaid bills tho chagrin of working for a " dead horse." Our bet. ter half will examine the old coat and see triTTrJnV1eapTurnlng we'll make the old carnage jog along for another year or two, or three; and when the younkert ask tor some indulgence they can well do with out, well put our hand in the pocket, and finding it mmu, bid them wait awhile. There are a thousand ways to economize in our expenditures,- without diminishing the comioris oi a mraiiy. we snail mua nnu it convenient to educate our children pro perly, and to furnish tltem with that foood for the mind, which really adds to life's comforts, and gives respectability to their cr-lling, whatever it may be. Iet none miatakeme,hnd suppose I would plead for a false economy, that would save at the epigit and waste at the bung. Such for instance, as raising poor stock: when good might just as easily be had; keeping on hand miserable tools, that murder the business and cause more delay in the using than the difference of price between them and good ones; or in taking up the idea, that we can't afford, these hard times, to take an BgriOTtarrefpaperf-o, noyj-ady vocnto no such mismanagement; I hold that good stock and good tools, are cheaper than poor ones ; and thnt no implement on the farm, of ten times its cost, will more con duce to the farmer's interest, than a good agricultural paperthe Cabinet for instance. I plead for such a care ia our expenditures, aa will restrain us within our means a care that will limit us to the necessaries and comforts of life, until we can really afford its luxuries. A LF. U'NIN'ii f'ABMEB. From the Albany Cultivator. Raster Mildew ou Wheat. From almost every quarter of our coun try, in the reports ol tho crops which reach us, we find complaints of the damage which has been inflicted on wheat the present sea son by rut Some districts, it is true, have entirely escaped, but it is certain that the difficulty has been widely and most injuri ously tell. I here is scarcely a disease in cident to our cultivated crops, the origin of which is involved in greater obscurity than is that of mildew. Some have attributed it to honey dew on the plants ; some to the i nflurnce of particular plants, as the bar- berry bush I some to irregularand tnios.emjn pheric agencies.; and some to the attacks of a species of minute fungi or parasitic plufit. In the investigation of any subject, it is well to ascertain what is actually known respect ing it, as this course may facilitate further researches, Thus we know that a particular state of tlie atmosphere invariably precedes an at tack of rust on wheat. While the weather remains of a low and equable. temperature, dry,, or free from excess of moisture, rust never appears ; and even a high tempera. lure does fior province it- if the weather -be f dry. So far as the atmosphere is concern ed, two things appear necessary to produce rust ; excess of moisture uud a high tern in ordinary cases, unhealthy vegetation The presence of a minute fungi, or para site on wheat that is mildewed, is also cer- tain ; the only doubt seems to be, whether this fungi is the cause of the disease, or on ly consequent on its presence. This fungi, (Puccinia gramuus of the books; seems to form beneath the cuticle of the Hem, and in its progress to maturity, bursts forth in longitudinal clusters like grapes, of a dark color. These are filled with sporules or the seeds of the fungi, of a bright brick red co lor, and when they open, give to the stalks, or to the whole fields, that red sombre hue, so characteristic of rust . A ver) good figure of this fungi may be seen at page 120, of the Cultivator for 1 840. The state of the atmosphere in those dis tricts where the disease has been most ex tensively developed, has been, so far as we have been able to learn, hot and wet, at least it has been so immediately preceding the attack; Thus the wheat of the central counties of New York, appeared unusually fine, and the promise of a great crop never better, until the first week in July, or from the 5th to the 10th of the month. At that period, heavy showers alternating with hot close weather, gave the farmer well ground, ed fears for the safety, of the wheat crop ; and the speedy appearance of the rust, showed that his fears were justifiable. By the 10th, many fields of wheat exhibited tbat peculiar dark hue, which at a distance shows the existence of the evil, and by the 18th or 28tn, the fungi were fully develop ed,"nnd the sporules of red dust thrown off that marks tbe attack and progress of this mildew in these cases was most marked and offensive. Thia year, as in all others where rust srevaib. ha attacks are most irregular and seemingry onaccountablewSoroe fields will escape, while others at a littlo dlstano are. almost or quite ruined. So some towns, or.districts, are scarcely touched . while those adjoining suffer severely. -This diE. fere nee in districts may be attributed io the range of showers varying the quantity 'of moisture, &c,, but some otlic; causes must be sought for the variation where farms are , adjoining, or peshnps in different fields on tho same farm. We have seen one part of a Geld scarcely touched, and the grain fill., ing and ripening well, whilo on another part, it was iM worth harvesting. We have found no little evidence the pre sent season to confirm our former impres sion that the disease is to be traced in the first place to the softening of tlx cuticle 'of 7 the plants by excess of moisture Bccompat,. K niea by great heat. All plants in thisstate become for the limo feeble and debilitated. The aofleninjr of their surfaces causes them to break or fall down more easily, and this dan ere r is increased by the greatly increase - ed flow of sap which previals under auch circumstances, lhis is attested by the ra pid growth of all plants, which have not had their progress arrested by approaching maturity. It is at this time, that the mil dew firs' shows itself in the longitudinal stria? or grooves of the leaves and stems of the wheat. The'cuiicle is ruptured, ond minute bodies resembling at their first op.- pearance, gum, or s inio clear substance, are seen exuding or protruding from the ruptured points. The cuticle ia forced out wards, dries and forms , those white points that give the stem of mildewed wheat such a ragged appearance. This clear substance soon assumes a darker hue ; the seed vcs. sels of the fungi become visible, and but a comparatively few hourselapse before these vessels are mature, burst and the rod spo rulea or funni seeds cover ihe crain. .Ia the meantime, tho roots of the fungi have penetrated the interior of the stalk de. rangedthe infnul fresrtAstr4WUid tUe .. , flow of the juices, or so changed thetr cha racter as to render them unable or unfit to complete the maturing of tlie plant, or the grain in the ear ; the first remain stationa ry green and immature; the latter not receiving the supplies of gluten and starch necessary to iu perfection, shrinks and is . worthless. With a Raspail microscope of 50 magnifying power, we have had fre- quent opportunities of tracing progress of mildew; and as we think, verifying the details here riven of its action. , ' In our examinations of mildewed wheat,' . . , wo have been led to ask whether the spo. fp rulea of the fungi, falling on the softened v, surface of the wheat, were absorbed, or ' v readily rooted In the pores of the plant ; or , ' whether the -accumulated and - perhnpa changedjuices, did not rupture the coot, nnd exudiug from it, become nidus in which Um floating sporules fixed themselves to multi. ply and spread ad infinitum. We are not able to answer this question satisfactorily to ourselves ; other observers may huve been more fortunate, or more skilful. In the present state of our knowledge re. specting mildew, it will be impossible to speak very decidedly on the best means ot wheat on lands abounding in vegetable mat ter, or which have been manured largely rwith fresh manure, suffers more than on lands not so situated or treated, it is right tolnferthjil o too ra"pid growth' iof ttie wtitut plant cxposc-4t to attacks from mtluow. Wheat, too, wlutkb so thick as to preclude the circulation ofnir, by retaining tho mois ture on the plants fr a longer period, isin a conJilion. to facilitate the wifning of the coat of the plant, and thuaJnyitc attack. Any cause thatjhould give more finimess and solidity to thb"cirrHrrgTf the "wheat plont, Would undoubtedly, so far, act as a preventive to rust. In nmny coses there seems to be a want of si'.icious matter to eive fii miiess to I iffir ing p0ha, to the character oi the soil, its native constituents, or the manner ie which it has been cropped Or manured. In these cases, Would not ishes, from the potash ihey contain, produce the soluble silir atcs neces sary for the use of the plant? Or would not powdered iilass furnished ns It can De fer two dollars a barrel, prove an tfibclive aid on soils deficient in the silicates 1 We invite the attention of farmers to this sub ject. It has been lound in bnglund, that wheat sown in drills is much less liable to mildew, than that sown broadcast The reason assigned, is, the greater fat ilities given for the circulation pf air, and the more rapid, drying of the plants when wet nun dew or rain. There is, we think, some foundation for this opinion, fiom the i ff' ct we have observed on gruin sown on fur. row, and harrowed in suc,t a way as par. tially to produce the effect, of dril' sowing, the wheat plants mostly standi iKrwhare the seed fell or rolled, in the furrows.
