This is an important topic. To cut grass
when it is ripe, and grain when ready to shell
out, is from economy.—Careful observations
and e.xperiments, as well as chemistry, teach
us that all grass and grain crops, to be consum
ed as food for man or beast, should be cut down
before maturity. Many of the roots, also, are
better for premature gathering. I’otatoes may
well be ripened in the ground; and were it con
venient to make the separation, we should say
let grain, designed only for seed, remain upon
-the native stalk, in the field, until nearly ready
to fall off. As we have said, experiments care
fully made have proved conclusively that
wheat, for example, if cut six to twelve days
before lull maturity, yields not only a greater

or other grata, is derived from the starcli it con
tains. More tlian three-fourths of the entire
bulk of wheat flour, for example, is really pure
starch. The same may be said of corn meal.
But all grains contain more or less of woody
fibre, in the shell.
■VYsod, sugar, starch and gum, are composed
of precisely the same elements, and these
nearly in the same proportion. The difference
in form and properties is chiefly iu the arrange
ment of the elements. Yet wood is nearly in-
digestiblei and of course fails, in part to yield
nourishment, while sugar, starch, and gum, are
ea^y digested, and almost their entire elements
furnish nutriment.
Examine grain in the milk, and it will be
found to consist almost totally of starch, gam
and sugar, the abundance of sugar giving it a
sweetish taste Let this grain ripen, and the
starch, gum and sugar, are hardened, and in
part changed to woody fibre, that is, husk or
bran. But ent the grain while scarcely out of
the milk state, and yon stop the natural change
into woody matter, and thus secure a larger
proportion of the desired starch, sugar
gtzm. It is well known that the earliest flour
made from first-cut grain possesses a peculiar
sweetness. Corn picked wliile still soft, and
dried, retains its sweetness. The .aly point to
be looked to is, not to cut grain before it at
tains its full development of material. This
point has been found to be just at the period
when it commences hardening. No grain should
be allowed to stand a day after it becomes so
solid as to require a gentle pressure to crush
the kernel between the thumb and fingcr-i'ails.
This rule applies to wheat, oats, corn and in
deed to all cereal crops. Gathered at this
time, which is usually eight to ten d.ays, before
perfect ripening, there will not only be more
and better nutriment, but the yield of grain,
and especially of flour, will be from five to ten
per cent, greater, and often more, than if the
cutting had been deferred ten to twelve days.
The decidedly superior value of straw cat,
* green, is another important item to be taken
into account. Tlie increasingly high price of
hay, and the advance in the demand and value
of stock, render it important to give more at
tention to preservation of straw. ‘Wheat or
oat straw, and corn stalks, ifteft standing until
fully matured, are little better, and little else
than so much wood; but .stop the ripening pro.
cess as soon as is practicable remove the grain
and yon secure straw and stalks wortli one-
fourth to one-half their weight of liay, as the
. latter is ordinarily cured.—Would it not be
better to run the risk of getting a few pounds
less of grain'by too early gathering, if thereby
yon secure a greatly snperior quality of feed in
the straw.
The reasons for cutting grain early apply
with equal force to all crops gathered for for-
nve. Taste a stalk of grass just as it is losing
its flower and you will,find it sweet, succulent and
tender. X few days afterward, it is more like
a dry piece of wood. But cut it tlown at the
former period, dry it in small masses to prevent
heating and fermentation, and it will retain
mneh of its sweetiies.s, and contain a large
propartipn of xiig-ir, starch and gnni.

14, 4857, ‘VV. J. Anderson, Esq., presiding,
and Mr Geo. H Haigh acting as Secretary.

choly intelligence on account of which they had
been called together.
Messrs W B ‘Wright, John Winslow, W A
Hnskc, W H Haigh, J C Huske, R P Buxton,
P M Hale, B H Sanford, and B Fuller, re-
“ J 1 presenting different classes, were appointed a
Committee to prepare resolutions suitalile to
the occasion.
Rev Jos C Huske, Chairman, reported the
following.
Whereas, Almiglity God, by a painful and
most melancholy act of his Providence, has
brought to a sudden and sad end the life of onr
former respected preceptor and friend, the Rev
Dr Elisha Mitchell, Professor in the Universi
ty of N C.;
Therefore, Resolved, That we have received
intelligence of this mournful event with feelings
of pain and niiroingied sadness.
Resolved, That as in his life we have been
made debtors to him by his faithful instructions
and by his unwearied devotion to onr best in
terests, so now in death we cherish his memory
iu our hearts.
Resolved, That tlie Rev Dr Elisha Mitchell,
by his great and varied learning, by his inde-
fatible zeal in the pursuit of knowledge, by his
spirit of invincible perseverance in whatever he
deemed to be right, by his devotion to the du
ties of his profession, whetlier as a teacher of
science or as a teaclier of the religion of the
gospel, by his devotion to the interests of his
pupils, to the interests of the University of
which he was so distingnished a Professor, and
by his devotion to the interests of the State at
large, and in a word, by a long, honorable, and
useful life of incorruptible integrity and fidelity
to duty, has made himself to be an ornament
and an ftxample to his profession and to his
fellow men in general.
Resolved, That in view of the eminent ser
vices which he has rendered the State, directly,
by the prompt and faithful discharge of par-
ticnlar duties assigned him, and less directly,
bat not less effectively by his devotion to the
cause ot education, the deceased has entitled
himself to a public testimonial of respect to his
memory; and we hereby pledge ourselves to
assist in any measure tending to that end.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family of the deceased, with an
expression of onr sincerest sympathy and condo
lence; and also, that a copy be sent to his breth
ren of the Faculty, and to each of the Literary
Societies at Chapel Hill, with the request that
they be filed in their archives.
'These resolutions were nnanimously adopted.

ISfi Clay on Distribution.
Wc have seen (says the Nashville Union) no
argument against distribution more foicible or
embraced in fewer words than the following,
taken from a .speech of Air Clay’s delivered
June 11, 1832. It states a fact that cannot
fail to lay hold upon the public mind. Bead it:
Alaking this inquiry, the first question which
presents itself is, whether it is expedient to pre
serve the existing duties in order to accumulate
a surplus in the treasury for tlie purpose of sub
sequent distribution among the several States.
I think not. If tlie collection for the purpose
of such a surplus is to be made from pockets of
one portion of the people to be ultimately re
turned to the same pockets, tlie process wonld
be attended with the certain loss from the
charges for collection and with the loss also oj
interest while the money is performing tlie nec
essary circuit, and it would therefore be unwise.
If it is to be collected from one portion of the
people and given to another it would be unjust.
If it is to be give#to the Slates in thdr corpor
ate cxipacitv, to be used by them vn their public ex
penditure, I' know of no principle in the constitu
tion which authorizes the federal government to
become sucli a collector for the States, nor of ^
anv principle of safety which admits j jjgggujg public, dismissed

THE AFCIST ElECTIOAS.
The AA'ashington Union says: “Tlie accounts
public and private from North Carolina are ol
a character to justify the most sanguine expec
tations in regard to tlic result of the August
elections. If the delegation i-n the next Con
gress is not entirely democratic, it will not be
for want of exertions on the part of a democ
racy that appear to be annimated with the
conviction that an overwhelming victory is to
be the result of their ptriotic labors,”
’The JXorlh Carolinian, one of the most spir
ited of our exchanges, endorses these views of
the Union. Know Nothingism has been ra
pidly tumbling to pieces in the South, since
tlie Presidential election, and it is only in Ala-
ryland that it is at all likely to maintain itself.
As long as the Plug Uglies and Rip Raps con

Does not the position assumed by the states
of Georgia and Mississippi, and endorsed by the
democrats in the south, at once and effectually
destroy and ignore the nationality of the demo
cratic party ? And} with the destruction of
that nationality at once ceases the stability of
the union.
In the event that the President fully sustains
Gov. AValkcr, what will these gasconading po
liticians do ? If they withdraw from the sup
port of the administration, wliore will they go ?
who and what will they support ? What do
they propose, if tlie President refuses to yield
to their demand ? Is all this thunder ot in

is it the step initiative of a Southern confeder
acy, that political shadow which escapes just
as we are about to grasp it. If it is the lat
ter, why not let the people know it at once that
they may prepare for the denouement.
The issue is plainly this : The Administra
