CORN COD AND SHUCK MILLS. We have bc-fofe-alltiife;T lo Kmrwrtrm ami Miller's patent for grinding Corn Cob and Shuck Meal, and by reference to onr ad verisinw eoltimnsj it will be wen that Mr. h- Wr-UttHj-hfl pinhftml t4te right to use Hnd vend the patent in this and the adjoining Districts: MnjrVr1rVoltmt't1w nirht for North Carolina. Mr. Burn has adapted his own Mill to tho new process and we are assured that it has. exceeded his most sanguine expectation. We have nl so seen a letter from a distinguished gentle man of this State, one of our largest and most successful planters, who ha used the Cob and Sliuek Meal for the last seven muntlis, with the. jmost complete success. Of its eiTecU on his horses and mules, he remarks, that out of 0!) head, he has not lottone, and had but three slight cases nf colic since ha commenced feeding, them on this food; while, although 'hey have been worked hard during the winter, ihey never looked better. He estimates the saving on his plantation, by this new process of pre. paring ihe foed. at $1000 per annum, clear nf all expenses and trouble The cattle and- hogs are also fed upon it to great ad vantage. Indeed, he says, ho 'will now be enabled to change the ec onomy of his plan tation, and i nice meat for market,' and almost any quantity of manure for plantation use. These are important result-, and may be fully relied on as corect in every particular as the source from which we clean our :n formation is unimpeachable. The saving of one third of the corn to the plan'er is one of great magnitude, and it has nw been leduced to a demonstration that a least this can bo eiTected by the new mode of grinding and preparing the food. Let plan ters and owners of Mills make the necessa ry enquiries and they will be satisfied f the truth ofthesc remarks. Farmers Uaz REFUSING TO BE FREE. . A colored mau who procured .his freedom in Virginia and now resides in Connecticut, was very desirous of procuring the liberty of a daughter whom he- left behind. The gill's master was solicited under the circum stances to fix a low value upon her, and he agreed to take three hundred dollars. The money was collected and deposited here, according to the proposition; hut when the girl was informed of the transaction, and that aha might join her father and be free, she refused the offer. A7.
