Then after a few days the furrows were turned backand this process of turning off and on, was re peated fire r six times. But at each time of turning off, the plough was kept a little Tarther from the plant than before. ' . The consequence of this was, that he obtained carrots eight, pine and ten inch es in circumference, where in the common war of cultivation he coultl nor have had them "larger than a common dipped fol low candle," 'And though his rows were sit feet apart or more, he obtained 30 bushels per acre. v :, The, minute fibrous roofs of the carrot extend laterally farther than we are apt to observe. And it is only a fair supposition that the better the state of the ground, or that the more recently the ground has been stirred before, the root extend into it, the better the crop will grow. The course pursued by Mr. Eliot was admirably fined to furnish to the roota a Ireah supple ol soil from week to week, and this soil ta a lisht and pulverized state fhe qoedtion which his particce and bit success in this case have suggested, it this: whether we might not benefit our corn, our potatoes, and all other crops, by eommencing early with ploughing the earth away from ue aide of. the rowr letting the plough run very near the plants- say within twn " or three inch si then we might turn this back immediately,, or let H remain two or three days, and then turn It back.

Ptc. 'We are in the midst of a great revolu tion in this place, which heretofore has been celebrated as the have insulted with impunity the ' laws of the State and the Union, violated the ties of humanity with fiendish vengeance, and outraged, to the greatest extent, the moral sense and (eel ing of the community. Yesterday morn ing the people of the parish called a meet ing at Greenwood, to deliberate on the best method of procedure, and it was re solved that such a seme of blood shed and violence should no longer be permitted In feo unpunished: that the offenders should be brought to justice by the proper, e. &c. After these resolutions the meeting resol ved itself into a committee of the whole, to proceed forthwith to Shreverport and capture thee men before they could have any intimations of their intentions. They mustered about SO strong, the most hon est and peaceable citizens of the parish rode into this place about one hurbv son, and succeeded in taking' two and killing the other of three most noxius criminals. About two weeks since, Rufus Sewall was killed by one Bnjle and a Dr. Hard-wtcke-.-" Boyle was- taken, put in prison strongly guarded. On the night of the 20th, hU enemies, three of whom were these very men, broke open the jail and shot Boyle's brains out. This aroused the good. peopleof the parish from their lethargy, and. after getting the proper authorities, they surrounded the house in which these men took refuge. When the committee galloped into town, the great est villian, atfemptinff to esrape was shot down immediately The others capitula ted and are now in prison) so ends the matter, to the great jry of the whole com munity, and the people of Shreveport par ticularly, many of whose lives had been threatened by these men. . THE VETO IN NE W-YORK? The Express ssys: At Two o'clock the Veto or" the President was announced on the Exchange.

THE TARIFF. A Washington correspondent of the New York l ribune ssys: "I am glad to be a ble to inform you that notwithitanding discoursgements& bafllingreveraea which have met the Whigs in Congress at every step since they have come into power notwithstsnding the resentment & dissrust entertained by at! of them at the last act of the President, another effort wilt be made to accomplish the' passage of a Tariff.

OREGON TETERTiTrnt. . Our government is turning its attention seriously , to the occupation of die Oregon Territory.

The main object Sf the expedition is to select the most eligible route tor the loca tion of t chain of forts, connecting the white ( WEDNESDAY, AlO. 231842. settlements on the Missouri and the Colum bia rivers. The establishment of military posts along the route will tend very much to faciliate the march of emigration tia the di rection of the Pacifle Ocean, At present, the journey aoro the. Rocky MojiiU mi is attended with innumerable dangers, enough to deter any but the hardiest adventurers from encountering the risk. No single in dividual dare make the attempt. Even large caravans, well guarded nnd protected by strong military eecorter ire in-eonsunt jeo pardy from the attacks ot the Indians, whose minting grounds are traversed by the com pany of travellers. ' , . II, however, tne intention oi government it carried into effect, comparative security ill have been aequired against many of the dangers that now render the journey to the Pacifio full of hazards to the pioneer. When- evet'this desirable object is attained, it may be expected the tide of emigration will set strong and wide tor the snores oi inerraci fia. The Far Weat will then no longer be limited by the range of the Rocky Moun tains, but its boundaries be pushed onward till thev meet the waters ol the distant 6- ccan. The prospects in that remote region are sufficiently flattering to induce crowds to try the experiment of seeking their fortunes iira new country. Notwithstanding exist ing obstacles, exensive settlements are form ed on tht Columbia, and before many years it may be expected that the colonists will be strong enough to organize af new govern ment ot their own, and establish amtother Republic west of die Rockv Mountains. iv. u. iiuueim, , Henry Clay.
