Rev'dand Dear Sir: i have now tried Know!
ton's plan lor ri:iding ears ol corn twelve months,
a ml durinjr that lime liavf: particularly not iced the
efb'cie ol Hie food on my horses and and cuttle, and
can say that it has undoubtedly afforded ine the
best food I have ever used. My horses have done
good service, kept in fine order, and been more
healthy than I ever ha J them before, and that, too,
with a small portion more than two-thirds of tbe
grain the same number of ears of corn would have
produced- Tccre are various opinions of the
quantity of corn saved by crushing tho ear. I
have therefore been particular in testing it in every
possible iiianneftand am now convinced that there
is the same nutriment in 7 eats of corn with tbe
shock that there is In 10 fed in the ear; besides a
large additi.m ol food to distend ih-'stom.u li, assist
digestion, and couu'eract the excess ol heat that
would !; orodiiced by tin ;idd:tion;il quantity of
arain. The mill rock to which you applied the
improvement is too 1 i I f , and h is not sufficient
weight of water to crush well, the rock bi in-2 only
3 feet in diameter and averaging orfly 13 inches
in thickness, and never having more than 6 feet
water on 'he trunk; but with a sdgli improv tlietlt
t" your p'au of dressing (that you have ben ap
prised of and are at liberty to use,) my mil! has
iroiiid 7 bushels of ehe'Ied corn into excellent
meal in one hour, 18 bushels ofearsofcorn with
the shuck, or 24 bu-hcs without the j-hnck , in one
hoi.r. I fatted a part of my hoes last year on
c.-oshed corn without the shuck, ground coarse and
boiled, una was so Well pleasd with it, that I cx
pe t to feed the whole of my hogs on it this win

I am rtow building a mill at my rlantation, for

OUR COUNtRY.
greatness its destiny free trade.
We were remarkably struck with ihe follow
ing paragraph in a letter from thfc foieigti
correspondent of the Union, which appeared
in (hat paper some lime ago. No one ran
doubt its truth) mid every American citizen
must feci pioud that it is true.
I do not wish lo over estimate the pow
ers of my country, or flatter unnecessarily
my cnuuliymen ; but if we are true to the
constitution, true to ourselves and to our pos-
letity, the day will speedily dawn when we
.h;ill be tecogiiized a the head, par excel
Uncc, of the l unily of nations. The com
mercial freedom of England, which eteioug,
it efficiently aided by tbe American govern
ment, will extend throughout Europe, is
dotiiit-d to occasion as extraordinary a revo
lution in exchanges aud the moriey maikefs,
us it Will be salutary to tbe expansion of the
influence of the republic. Immediately after
Ihe passage of ihe leform bill iu June, 1 pas
sed an eveuing with the intelligent chef of
the li st baukitig house lu Loudon. ' lhi
measure," said he, ' w ill transfer from Lon
don to New York the settling of all balances
in trade, aud the regulating of exchanges for
the woild !" He saw iu it the farewell of
London to her moneyed giealuess. His
prediction will sooner or later be realized.
Already, bom the immense shipments of our
products, before a bale of cotton of the new
crop has gone foi wa dj exchange on London
was, at the last dates, one per cent below its
par value. All our pecuuiary disasters have
arisen from our dependence and subjection
to the money markets of Europe. Uuder a
new state ol things, when our agriculture and
commerce is to have fair play, those hindian
ces to our prospeiity will be overcome. Bills
on America will be in demand iu Europe,
while bills on Lurope will cease to be in de
mand iu America. The preponderating in
fluence of agents representing foreign hou.-cs
will cease, and their lucrative business be
enjyed by our own enterprising merchants."
THE COUNTRY NOT RUINED!
IVhisr Evidence.
The New York Courier, which has preach
ed up "limitless ruin," as the effect of the
low tat iff and specie clause, discourses as
follows under the commercial head:
The uncertainty as lo the duration and
cot of the war with Mexic is now the only
cloud in the sky. If the country could be
satisfied that within a brief period, and at the
cost estimated by the President, or even at a
greater cost, this tin Iowa td war would be
closed, there would be a general jubilee, aud
all pursuits would feel the relief, and spring
forward in their paths of prosperity."
Carte and Tierce in the House of
Representatives.
Mr Culver, of New Yotk, in his speech
in tbe House of Representatives, yesterday,
charged that one of tbe soutbeteti Mates bad
tepudiated her contracts or bonds to the
amount of seven millions of dollars. Mi
Roberts (a member of the House of Repre
sentatives from Mississippi) inquired what
State, or if he filludcd to Mississippi? Mr
C. answered he did. Mr Robeits said
it was false; it was a black hearted slander.
Mr Culver inquired if the gentleman fiom
Mississippi intended to say that he Mr C
bad told a falsehood ? Mr Roberts : I do,
sir; it is false utietly uutrue il has no foun
dation in fact. Union
POPULARITY OF LOW DUTIES.
We were much pleased at Ihe following
paragraph, which we sometime since cut from
ihe European correspondence of ihe Charles
ton Courier. It shews the rapidly iucreasiug
popularity among nail. ills, of the democratic
dot ti ine of low taxes on impotls :
" Paris may set the fashion iu matters of
taste, but it is the opinion that London sets
the lashion in commercial leglsl.ilion, and
lhat America as well us Europe, will f.dl.iwMo
the wake. The free traders say that tbe pro
tective system iu England, caused 'be same
system to be adopted' nht oad, aud that any
relaxation of il heie, will be followed by simi
lar steps on the pait of other countiies.
There is much foundation fuf these opinions.
The example t,f England has already pro
duced an influence on other nations. v Your
new tar iff U ciled as an instance; Ihe Roman
PoutitT has liberated his tariff; Sardinia aud
Sicily are following suit ; Russia is moving
in Ihe same direction; and there is a confident
expectation that Germany will soon catch the
infection. The Piesident of the Russian
Board of Trade, at a dinner given in honor
of the President of the Chamber of Com
merce of Berlin, the other day, gave as a
toast ' Commercial Freedom and Indepen
dence," which is said to have produced a great
sensation, and is looked upon as ominous of
change in Ihe Prussian system; but Ihe strug
gle between Monopoly and Free Trade, now
commenced iu earnest in France, attracts
mo.-d attention, and it is fully believed lhat
.ere loug Free Trade doctrines will be iu the
usceudaut iu thai Hue country.
NEW JERSEY federal New Jersey
"Irue blue" New Jersey "glorious little Jer
sey" has not yet raised her regiment of
volunteers, and, according to her Governor's
niessae, just published, never will. While
the federal journals are boasting of the num
bers and tfpirit with which lhc patriotic fed
eralists have volunteered for the war, il is lo
be hoped they will Hoi forget federal New
Jersey, the ouly State which has proved re
creant. LETTING THE CAT OUT OF THE
BAG.
The Wilmington Commercial, a lead
ing Whig paper, pours it into Mr Keuueth
Kayuer in Ihe following style:
Mr RAYftEii. It is not our custom to no
tice anonymous Communication; but we
shall vary from the rule in regard so a Corres
pondent of tbe last Register, who has taken
up the cudgels in favor of Kenneth Rayncr,
and charged the setiior Editor with alluding
to him iu a Letter written recently from
Raleigh to the Commercial.
The notion lhat our not beitt" "recognized"
by Mr Rayner, is the cause t?f our hostility
lo him is amusiug enough, and may apply
to those who are not "recognized" by wiser
and better men.
Tbe senior Editor is not recognised"
by Mr Badger, aud yet he rejoiced in his
election and congratulated the country upon
the event. The senior Editor is not "recog
nized" by Ex-Governor Morehead, and yel
he spoke warmly iu favor ol his election to the
Senate.
Now, if the poor servile who takes up the
cause of Raytier could eutertaiu the idea of
any thing liken manlv or independent feel
ing, we can assure him lhat we do not intend
lo " recognize " either of the three personages
named bul tbe two former we will vote lor,
to fill almost any oflice in the gift of their coun
trymen, because we honor their tnlcira and
their virtues aud respect their political princi
ples which sentiment we cannot apply to
Rayner.
When we had the high honor of beiug
"recognized" by Mr Rayner, some yeass
ago, he called at our office in Raleigh, ou a
visit intended, we suppose, lo 4recognize"
us. In Ihe course of a political conversa
tion, Ihe following dialogue occurred :
Ed. What is (here, Mr Rayner, now
proposed by ihe democratic party, lo which
you object 1
Rayner. Noting! 1
Ed. What is ihere in ihe Whig parly of
which you approve ?
Rayner. Nothing?
Ed. V by then do you go with the whig?
Rayner. -Because you (the democratic par
ty) have tasted of power, and should be
biotight down.
We are uot sure that the last line is word
for woid, but we are suie it conveys Ihe sen
timent be then expressed. The rest, we are
sure it conveys the sentiments he iheu ex
pressed. The rest, we are contideul, varies
not a jot from Ihe words ued.
And now, any one who chooses to support
a man for Governor of North Carolina, with
such "political pi incipb-, aud who gives such
very logical reasons for his course, can d-
so, of course, iu the exerci.-e of an uudobted
right.
As to Mr Rayuer's not desiring the nomina
tion for Governor the Coriespoudeut'wiiies
without knowledge, w ele with duplicity.
We know he has desired atid expected i, and
struggled for it, for some lime pal ; whatever
may be bis views at ihe present time.
Mr W ise and the Brazilians. The
New York Courier St ' Enquirer publishes a
letter from Rio Janeiro, dated 16th Novem
ber, speaking very disrespectfully of Mr. Wise,
and affirming thai his diplo-natic deportment
has been harsh, hasty, and offensive, exciting
a"ong p'ejud:cea against ihe Unit; d Stales
and their citizens.'
A THRILLING SCENE.
From tbe Tarboro Press.
Presentation of ihe Flag.
Monday the I8lh January, 1847, was a
protut day for old Edgecombe. Tbe Ladies
of the county with commendable patriotism
bad prepared an appropriate Banner for the
Volunteers and set apjtt the 18th, for f lie
presentation Miss Sarah E. Howard, in
behalf of the Ladies, delivered the address.
Capt. W ilson. being duly notified, was
present accompanied by Lieut. Stalon and
Corporal Abrams. A large concourse of
persons from the town and county witnessed
the ceremonies. At 1 o'clock,-a .signal gun
was fired and Miss Howard, arrayed in pur
est white, shortly afterwards appeared, sup
ported by Misses Foxhall and Lawrence,
and delivered the following Address.
Capl.. Wilson : To you. a the Repre
sentative of Ihe Edgecombe Volunteers, I
am deputed by the Ladies of the County, to
present lh Flag wheih I hold.
Appreciating the heroism -which' has im
pelled you, at the call of your country, to
rush to her standard, and that self-sacrificing
spirit, which, when . patriotism demands, for
gets the comforts of home and lies of kindred,
to peril life and fortune in the tented field,
we have wrought, with our own hands a
Banrler far the Volunteers, hoping that its
preserice may urge them forward amid. the
hardships of the camp, and restrain them in
the hour of victory.
Whilst the weakness of our sex forbids 0?
to encounter the fatigues and privations of
war, it has always been deemed appropriate,
thai woman should cheer on the soldier lo
the field. In this we but emulate the exam
ple of the maidens and matrons of the Revo
lution ; that Revolution which established
those political liberjies and conferred those
social benefits, to secure which you have
volunteered. Your fathers waged war a
xainst the haujrhtv Briton, and the Lion of
England has twice crouched before the
-liajjle of our Country. You 3re now engag
ed in a contest with the perfidious Mexican,
and the Flag of 76 is Ihe Flag- of '46. The
same national errtblertts which waved over
your ancestors, now wave over you. The
same glorious Eagle which witnessed the
dealhofthe srallant Col. Irwin of Edge
combe, when he fell at the head of his regi
ment on the bloody field of Germantown,
will follow you with bis bold unwinking gaze,
to the mountainsaml valleys of Mexico. The
same glorious stars and stripes which beam
ed over Saratoga and Monmouth, King's
Mountain and Camden, will beam over you.
The lidnOr of North Carolina is in part
entrusted to your care : that State, which
was the first in '76 to brave the wrath of the
British Lion; and which, if the clouds of ad
versity shall ever overtake our institutions,
will be prepared tti furnish the forlorn hope
for freedom's farewell fight. More espe
cially is the honor of Edgecombe in yur
bands. You are our husbiituls, our sons,
our brothers, our friends. You have enlist
ed under that proud banner which has been
consecrated to the cause of human liberty
the glorious stars and stripes of your country
it is the precious emblems of our noble
confederacy Of free arid independent States, as
yet as pure and unsullied as tbe bosom of a
lovely babe. When unfurled to tbe
breeze, who of us beholds it without !issoci
ating with it whatever brave, whatever
is judt, whatever is generous. The alacri
ty, which you have displayed in comlno; for
ward at the call of your country, forbids all
fear lhat you will be backward in the fight.
Accept then our Banner cherish, protect
aud defend it to the death. May It ever be
found in the front rank of battle, where the
balls fly thickest and blows fall heaviest.'
Remember that it is not more the Flag of the
bravej Mian the Flag rff the virtuous: and We
implore you, in behalfofour sisters of Mexi
co, should the fortune of war place them in
your power, recollect thai of noble courtesy
not less than a high courage chaructrtes ihe
true soldier. .
"G-o ; dur hearfs are with you.'' Our
prayers sh-ill accompany you. Our plaudits
shall hail your successes and greet your re
turn. Ifyou fall, our tears will emblem your
memories.
. The Address speaks, for itself, but of the
fair Lady to whom was committed the lion
or of delivering it, allow us a passing word.
Iu a gentle yet firm tone she delivered il ;
there was no trepidation, no faltering. Con
scious of the presence of soldiers, she stood
modestly unmoved and pronounced the Ad
dress in a simple unaflected manner, that
went home to the heart of the spectators.
We lender to the Lady in behalf of a II pres
ent, our hearty congratulations; and say to
her iu language simple yet sincere, well
done, we thank you-
Cant. Wilson having received the Fla;,
made a neat and pertinent reply lo the Ad
dress. He promised them, in the language
of the Address, to "cherish, plotect and de
fend il to the dentli." He told them, wheth
er it should be the fortune of his Company,
to fall on tbe plains of Mexico, or exult in
triumph over their perfidious foe, from the
Captain to tbe humblest Private, they would
not forget to look upon that Flag, and rea
der their heartfelt homage to tbe Ladies of
E lrecombe.
The ceremonies concluded, u Federal a
