THE RALEKill REGISTER. EXPOSURE OF MANURE IN BARN J YARDS. J ; . MAKING OF COM TO TS. W once had an eccentric friend, who in stated uH)ii wearing the nap, or toft title of bis stockings, toward his foot, or wbat is usually called wrong sule out. He insii'ed upon it. thai the stocking would wear for a longer time, and that a he had more respect for hi foot than his ttoot, he should so con finue to wear h'n tucking When asked hy others did not fo low his p an, he an twered that they followed example rather than take the troub e to think. Is it not So with our farmers, in permitting manures to lie continually exposed on the surface of an oien ground ? When they can out ma nures t? spread on ground before ploughing, they are always anxious to spread no more than they can plough under ihjej same day. to prevent lot by evaporation jand still are willing to leave it expoed all winter to con tinued evaporation. And not only do they lose tKe volatile part of the manure by such exposure, but the treading o(;lhe cattle upon ifit continually displacing atmosphere from be ween the particles, and enabling new i quantities to enier for further evaporation. All the liquid manures are lost at an acceie I rated' rate by being kepi in continuous mo j tidn.'nol only by the feet of cattle, but by I camllarv atlrac ion trom straw, corn-siams fiic. Notwithstanding: that it has been clear- ! Iv established that seveiilv-five per cent, of i the value of manures is lost by such treat- ; ment, still the practice is adhered to without ; change. Instead of such exposure and loss of manures, why not build sheds facing the barn-yard to hold manures, and throw the ! quantity produced under these sheds each j morning before the sun has had full power j upon it, and by there mixing it wilh muck, j headlands, or any oiher divisor, increase the i quantity of manures, in addition to the sav ! ing of seventy-five per cent, by preventing I evaporation f Every one who has tried it, ! knows that one load ot freh manure mixed j with several loads of muck, or even head lands, under covers, will cause each load of L the mass to become equal to its bmlc of clear j manure for purposes of ferti ization, and that this arises from the escaping gases given off from the manure during fermentation, being absorbed by the divisor; and still we see : farmers continuing this barn-yard deposit, i notwithstanding the fact that in many cases they are compelled to buy manures in the ! spring. Let ihem, if they will continue the i barn yard system, at least throw muck, char coal dust, gypsum, or all three of them, on the surface of the ground each day after cleaning up "he yard, and thus save a larger proportion of the liquid manures by retaining the ammonia We have found that by plac ing proper absorbents in our ox, cow and horse tiables, so as to receive the fluid ma nures before they lose the animal heat, that eighteen loads of muck may readily be used with every load of fresh manure, thus giving ; us nineteen times the bulk of manures that we should have on the old system, and even with such divisor the heat of our manure heaps is fully sufficient for the purposes of decomposition ; but our cattle do not run at large in a barn-yard, nor do we believe it is necessary for their health that they should do so. For working cattle, certainly, exer cise is unnecessary, and as to air, a well-regulated stable, having no escape gases from manures, will furnich better air than a putrid and offensive barn-yard. If the object be to fatten cattle, it has long been decided that they fatten more readily without a continu ous motion than with it, and for milch cow the stall system cannot be doubted as being the most economical, both at relates to the quantity of milk and food, as well as in the living of manure. A moderate quantity of salt should be used in the manure or compost heap. It is well known that although a large quantity of salt will prevent active fermentation, still a moderate quantity will accelerate decom position, and at the same time deatroy the eeds of many kinds of weeds, grubs, &c. ' Fitrmers who raise wheat, rye, corn, oats, barley, clover, turnips, and potatoes, should either have in their soil or add to their com. post beas a variety of inorganic ingredients which these crops contain. Thus, if after having an analysis of their soil, they should find it to contain potash, soda, lime, magne sia, phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid, soluble silicates, chlorices and azotized matters, there they niay raise any or all of the crops before named, -by only adding so much ma nure as will supply the carbonaceous sub stances required ; or if the soil be well tilled. ihi carbon will be supplied trom the carbonic acid of the atmosphere. But should any of these ingredient be missing from the so 1 ami not be contained in the manure used, the crop Tor which it is re. quired cannot possibly succeed, however t ch the toil may be in o her ingredient. After ascertaining in what the soil it de ficient, the farmer can readily supply it in the compost, and generally from cheap ma terials ; thus potash from ashes, soap sud, &c; soda chlorine from dirty sa't or the sa t ley (soaperi waste) of the soip boilers; sul phuric acid and lime from plaster of Paris ; phosphoric acid from bones, and a small por tion is contained in shell lime, night soil, and indeed mot animal matters wi 1 supply bo b phosphoric ac d and azotized matter. Soapers' watte is rich in the soluble silicates, r if the compost contain excess of alkali of any kind, the silex of tne earth wi I be com bined with it, and thus be rendered available for the use of plants. Working Farmer. A Remarkable Man. The Germantown O liio Emporium has an obituary notice of Mr. John -'chafer, who died in that vicinity on the 24li of March, aged 62 years. The notice concludes With 'beso surprising statements : The deceased w a the largest man that we ev er saw. The coffin was sufficiently large lo con tain five inert of ordinary size ; measuring in width three feet four inches in the clear, and three feet in height Three men cnld have worked in hat the same time, with convenience. It re. quired six men to lke him from the bed on which be expired This was done by rakin? a platforms-removing the headboard of the bedstead and taking him oni endwise. They could not get the coffin into the house but by taking off the door facing of an old vacated house that stood in the yard ; they earned it into that and carried the corpse thither on three empty- bag. A wagon and four horses stood prepared, and ten men placed the coffin and its contents apon it. Iu letting down ihexorBn into the grave, they had two lines doubled one at each end and one large well rope in the middle, and seventeen men to lei down this great sprinkle of mortality into iu last home on earth.

Mr. Brown, of Mis., in the course of his remark, in the House of Representatives, on Wednesday, on the subject of the pub lic printing, pave the following warning to one wing of the Democracy: ' When the gentlemen from Indiana (Mr. Gorman ) yestsrday alluded to the Southern Press, the gentleman evidently thought that he (Mr. B.) was laboring in the service of that paper; but he was gieatly mistaken. That paper was well known fo reflect the sentiments of a large number of Southern Democrats. Now, was it to be understood from the insinuations of the gentleman from Indiana, that that portion ot the De mocracy who sympathized with the views of that Journal were to oe proscribed? where wa3 the proscription to stop? Were South ern Democrats who sympathized with the sentiments uttered through the columns of the Southern Press to be proscribed before the election 1 If so, what was to be their position after the election These were matters to be reflected upon, though he was free to say that his vote and position in the Presidential canvass were to be con trolled bv the action upon this subject. If . t the action should indicate that because gen Hemen had defended what they believed to be the rights of the Southern States they were to be proscribed, they would prob ably feel it due to their dignity that they should proscribe, too, in their turn. The States of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississip pi contained one hundred thousand South em Rights men. , He was not authorized to foreshadow their future action, but he felt authorized to warn gentlemen in a friendly spirit to be cautious how they acted, for they might endanger the success of their Presidential candidate. He desired it to be understood that when proscription should commence for opinion's sake, there could be proscription on their side as well as the other side." Instead of preferring the present President of the United States as my first choice, 1 prefer Win tied Sro't; and if he shall be the nomine?, I have little fear of the result. I know how difficult it is for a man powerless, without patronage, and with out official influence, to gel a nomination against the power of an Administration which can wheel into the ranks a, hundred thousand office holder, and dependents, per h ape, to the number ol half a million. I know that if they unscrupulously use this power, it will be next to impossible 10 obtain nomination against t hem. The present President is entitled to the declaration from me that 1 be. lieve he would scorn the use of such means Bui what some of hi friends might do I should not undertake to vouch for Their activity prema ture and somewhat absurd, as I thought seems lo lurni-h a full guarantee that they will not be in the future sluggards, and disloyal to their practices in the past." The above paragraph we copy from the official report of he speech recently deliver ed in the Senate by Mr. Mangum, of North Carolina, on the Presidential question. With regard to the alleged power of the office-holders in securing a nomination, Mr. Mangum must be well aware that most of these office-holders were appointed by Gen eral Taylor's administration ; that by far the larger number of them are- not supposed to sympathize wilh Mr. Fillmore in his course upon the Compromise, and that their power is employed in favor of the candidate who is the first choice of Mr. Mangum. If there were ever an Administration which, has sought to maintain itself upon its measures and principles, without recourse to extrane ous means of influence, it is the Administra tion of President Fillmore. It has left every Whig in office entirely free to exercise his own sense of duty and policy wilh regard to all public questions. The fact is perfectly well known that here in Washington, under the very eye of (he Administration, there are leading bureau officers who have been for months actively engaged, and who are now engaged, in wielding nil the influence and patronage of their places in favor of the dis tinguished man under whose banner the honorable Senator has so gallantly enlisted. They are left to pursue their own course un molested, because ii has been no part of the policy of the present Administration to in terfere with the exercise of private judg ment among any section of the party which has elevated it to power. If the Adminis ration is sustained, it will be owing to the intrinsic virtues and merits of its policy. The approbation extended to it has been the unboughi favor of the people, not the servile echo of official voices. We are at a loss to understand what Mr. Mangum intends by the "premature activity" of the President's friends We have seen no signs of such activity, unless the popular demonstiatioos may be so considered, which have induced even Mr. Mangum to proclaim that he "understands, from evidences that he cannot ques! ion," that a majority of the people of North Carolina prefer the present President for the succession at their firs! choice." Republic. LADIES ON HORSEBACK. . At the Licking County (Ohio) Fair, a few weeks since, a new feature was introduced, i hat we should like to see become general, and commend to the consideration of the managers of the Agricul ural Societies. The Ohio Cultivator says r "The most exciting feature off he first day's exhibition was the competition for the rhree premiums offered for ladies' riding horses, which in the end turned upon th skill of the riders themselves. Three horses were entered and made their debut in the ring at an easy pace. Misses Seymour, of Madison, and Marble of Newton, in- elegant riding costume, at first led the ring with decided advantage. Miss Hollenbeck of Hanover, followed, riding the horse ofN. B. .Hogg, in a walking dress, but being a girl of true knightly grit. soon dexteriously reigned in her horse, and by a few well applied blows of her riding whip brought up his mettle to that of her own, and then giving him rem, dash ed forward, and taking the inside, such a wild Arab flight sober Buck-ye never saw before. On, on flew the beautiful steed, and the thousands cheered heartily. the winds playing the mischief with her petticoats; but her victory was complete. Then a series of evolutions, curvet'ings and contra passes, showed wh it country girls can do when they get the reins into th ir own hands. The premiums were awarded to the ladies by acclamation." The above account of a new feature in the Cattle Shows of the West will be read with interest. We are not sure that the practice will be introduced here of awarding premi ums on Ladies' riding Horses, but we would gladly see the practice of former days resto red, and have our ladies again practice more generally this heal hy and invigorating exer cise.

THE HUNGARIAN VISITOR. When the heavily bearded lion of Hunga ry was on his way to the United States,' the New Yoik Home Journal remarked that the people of this country had the faculty of admiring a man with one eye and looking through him with the other. This latter eye upon Kossuth's first arrival in New York, seemed, however, to have been entirely en closed ; but it is at last open, and looking at the visitor with a calm and scrutinizing gaze. We annex an article from that ju dicious journal, the New York "Commercial Advertiser, which speaks of Kossuth in terms which it would have been rank here sy to use when he first arrived in the Em pire City. Then he was hailed with such overwhelming demonstrations of public res pect as have rarely been paid to the most illustnoui benefactors of our country. He was not only the greatest statesman and or ator, and the purest patriot of modern times, but the most disinterested and noble heart ed of men in private life. George Washing ton was a very ordinary person, behind the age, and altogether an "Old Fogy," in com parison with Louis Kossuth The Hungarian has been absent from New York but a few months, and the fick le multitude of that city are already cured of their frenzy of man -worship. Such jour nals as the N Y. Commercial Advertiser can now speak the words of truth and sober ness, without danger of being hooted at as traitors to humanity, having their offices torn down and their types cast out of the win dows. But the people of New York never did mean much in their lionizing of Kossu'h They like processions, displays, noise, ex citement, and a great fuss generally. Their regard for Kossuth bath that "extent, no more." We should feel some compassion for Kos suth in his fall, n estate, if he had pursued a manly, Candid and dignified course from the commencement of his intercourse with 'he government and people of this country. But insolence, selfishness and duplicity have been evident enough in him from the mo ment he set foot on board the Mississippi, But to the article of the Commercial : Oca Hungarian Visitor. We have no de sire that ex-Governor fCossulh, with his traveling attendants, should be made to feel too keenly the contrast between a first and second reception, should he again visit New York. After the dis plays he ha made in varies parts of the Union. Wc should not like lo see the citizens nf New York enacting any thing like the scenes thut ma iked his first arrival. Ol this we appiehcid, however, then is no danger. The real difficulty will be in showing hint just so much sympathy and utten lion as will save ns from the reputa.'ion of fickle ness, and leave on the mind of himself and those who hare travelled over the country with him, an impression that, while the people have learn ed to disapprove of his pertinacious attempts to interfere wi li the settled policy of the country whcli has shown him such in irked hospitality, and of his efforts to array the people, and those of foreign birth especially, nur.st the government, they yet have a heartfelt sympathy for the peo ple of Hungary, now completely subjected to their oppress rs. A strange contrariety, indeed, is this same Hungarian exile, and we have more than ooce wished to be at full leisure lo study him closely in all his characteristics ; to note hun in private as well as in public; to get at the springs of his action and note the phases of his mind, wheh however, we are inclined to think we c ulil reach and fathom by seeing and hearing him publicly only. Our opportunities ol seeing him have been but limited, aud as we consider the eye to be one of the principal inlets of knowledge, we think that the reading ol his speeches only is not suffi cient fur forming a complete, correct est iqiate of the man. Yet one who is so incessantly speaking as Kossuth iu, may b understood with compara tive accuracy by any one accusiotued to intellectu al analizat:on and dis.. section. At any rate we are quite sate in speaking of the exile as a strange contrariety ; and seeing how the points ol contradiction have developed tuemselves one can only account for their not being absolute ly fatal to his popularity, by calling to mind the enthusiasm which, be it theoretical or practical, unquestionably glows through the whole man Aristocratic in his bearing, he is yet republican in his profession ; petulant and exacting in private, he is calm, dignified, persuasive in public ; avow edly impoverished by his exile, he yet everywhere refuses pecuniary aid for himself ; evincing con summate skill in intellectual efforts, he lacks fas k;.. ....... i.. ii .. ....i . . v us invuuuii niustci cumiaci anu k mured spec ulators prove) the practical common seiis.- wlncn alone achieves permanent results, and wliile ex pressing n dud ke lor parade, he still persists in surrounding liiinselt with sort ol exee.u ive staff or suite, snu seems to adapt his stay in, evt ry place with nice precision to the proportion of public attention paid lum. When ine false rumor nf his mother's death reached his country, most touching were his al lusions to her memory, and most patuetic his de ssnptions of her spirit presence stimulating htm to heroic deeds; yet not a single wora, that we have met with, has indicated his sympathy with or care for, her and hissisrersin their pining wntit and penury. One admires tliu suffeiing exile that refuses pecuniary aid for himself, oiUa dif lerent feeling supervenes when one finds the name and memory ol the supposed dead pressed nit .

These things are so, and they reveal n strange contra riety of character, Then look at his public addresses, always elo quent and oftentimes adroit, yet by no means free from contradictions. We all leuiember the dou ble use he made of Louts Napoleon's coup d ttat. Again, iu New York, beheld the following lan. guage : , But may I be answered, Well, if we ( the IT.!..-,! ..... I.

Every second swells its aw ful volume, and deepens its terror. The earth now quakes under its tread, a blazing glare flashes livid horror into the sui rounding air and you see crawling along in snaky track, with fiery head crouched to the ground, and its long train swinging from side to side with a wavy motion a gigantic and terror breathing monster, instinct with life and power, crushing the earth with its tread, and creating a whirlwind, witti its blasting breath, as it sweeps a'ong. 1 8 there anything in the world which im presses the mind with a profounder sense of resistless power than that enormous mass, with its blazing eyes and smoky breath rushing with the speed of a cannon ball, and startling the a r and earth with the over whelming horror of its flight ? What would the savage think, seeing it for the first time ? Imagine such a flight across the country fifty years ago unheralded by any rumor of its coming r- vealing its existence by its pre sence, and rushing suddenly into oblivion, as it now rushes into the darkness while you gaze upon the spot where it disappeared, and hear only the faint echoif its distant tread. What rumors of it woula fill the earth. What tales of its grandeur of its speed and power would startle the credulity of the remotest village gossip JV. Y. Times. WHIG MEETING IN YADKIN COUNTY.
