SHEEP.
Mr. William patton has just bought 70
head of Saxony! sheep and placed tbem
under the care of J. R. Osborn, Esq! on
the Swannanoei two miles from this pace.
They are said to be full blooded. Not
withstanding tbjs and the fact that the
Saxony wool is &f a superior texture; we
consider them greatly inferior for muitton
or a large yield in wool to the South
Down or BakeWelH breetls, yet .we! are
glad to see a spirit of improvement gbing
on in old Buncombe 1 he wool from these
sheep, owing tpjits fineness, is worth a
bout 150 per cept, more than that from
our common shep ; on this account if no
other, our farmers ought to got some of
the stock. Mr. Patton has several. fine
bucks which it is possible he might sell.
When will our farmers turn their atten
tion to wool growing? If they would
sow down their old! fields and dry bottoms
COMM ERCE AGR ICULTU RE- M A N t F AC -
TL'REd. At the recent Fair' of the; Ameri
can Institute, in N. York, a capital lecture
Was delivered on the subject of thi; Mental-Elevation
of the American Farmer."
by j W. ). Wallace Esq., some of the lead
ing points of which are th lis noted in the
tribune: I :
Mr. W. commenced by alluding to the
jpoiver and predominance of Commerce
Jving commerce. As an evidence of
his power, when religion and the school-
master had failed in opening China toltbe
christian world, he stalkedjover the obc
dient billows,.and the walf of Chirja, ven
erable with the memories of 3,00Q years,
tumbled down before a chest- of Qpxum !
Yet what supplies King Commerce with.
his pabulum his life blood ? AbRicuL-
If fITl 1 a if . -
tube, vv ny nas Agriculture nermilted the
1 w -i
l"ater-born, the dependent, tp overshadow
it. I ' ' . ! I ! '
Commerce was wakeful! as theOcean
ubiquitous as the Wind, ihrevvder than
the fox ; his existence demanded it. Ag
riculture, from its very natural advanta
ges, was prone to be "supine!, unambitious,
unprogressive. The speaker inveighed
jagainst Agricultural inertness. Harmony
required that no one great branch of In
dustry should outshine another in mental
ity but if any branch was to predominate,
it should be Agriculture. We must look
to the rural walk for the largest amount
of political and domestic virtue. But vir
tue, to be efficient, must act intelligetitly.
Mr. W. spoke of the intereft of the; pock
et as a potent argument to offer the farmer
4vhy he should cultivate his mind- I A-
mong many other sciences absolutely
necessary to the farmer, the speaker
dwelt on Chemistry. He also alluded to
toe great activity of the manufacturing
spirit. A single machine had been made
to perform the work ok 400 men. The
farmer could also subdue brute matter
could teach it to work for himcould
make it drag him up to poNver and opu
lence, as the steeds of the ;un wheeled
hisichariot up to the perihelion of ijay.
The triumph over matter ivould give an
immense quantity of time to be dqvoted
to mental improvement. The speaker re
gretted the absence of a great Agricultu
ral College, where the sciences necessary
to the. farmer could be theoretically as
vyell as practically taught. But the! defi
ciency was somewhat supplied by first rate
Agricultural newspapers, lit could safely
be said tbat no farmer can constantly! read
Mr. Skinner's publications alone, and! re
main an uninformed man. Science has
been greatly simplified by Genius stepping
up from the pedestal of Pedantry to the
mountain of Common Sense. The farmer.
'now, who neglected the -acquirement of
knowledge, could not stand guiltless. God
gave him brains before he gave him hands.
Mr. Wallace enlarged on the glorious
position of an educated farmer. He was
a man that had stood in the shadow of
Deity. The farms of the United States
ought to produce the leading natural phi
los9ph?rs in the. world. See how many
eminent professional men, amid all iheir
glory, yearned towards Agriculture. io
Fremont and his men. The following
description is extracted frorp a new woik
entitled "Four years in the pacific, in her
Majesty's shipCollingwood.by Lieutenant
the Hon. Fredrick WalpolejR. N.M:
Durjing our stay at Montjerey, Califor
nia Qaptnin Fremont and his party ar
rived, preceded by another toop of Amer
ican tyorse. It was a party of seamen
mounted, who were used to sour the coun
try to keep otTmarauders. i'heir efficacy
as sailors, they beiti nearly; all English,
we wijl not question. As avelry, they
would'' probably have been singularly de
structive to each other. Their leader how
ever, was a fine fellow, and one of the
best rifle shots in the States. Fremont's
party naturally excited curiosity. Here
were true trappers, the class that produ
ced the heroes of FennimorejCooper's best
than religion or marriage, should ever bo
dragged into i political discussions of iho
country. To thrust slavery eternally be
fore the public to promote patlizan pur
poses, is the way to render all property
in slaves, sooner or later, utteily worth
less. Augusta (Ga.) Sentinel. "

After mm came five Delaware Indians,
who were his body-guard, and have been
with him through all his jwanderings;
they had charge of two baggage horses.
The rest, many of them blanker than the
Indians, rode two and two, he rifle held

cent defeat, it is claimed by his opponents,
to his refusal to answer questions in re-
lerence to this subject. Have not plat
form mongers tasked their wits to the ut
most to contrive new issues, in the pro
gress of which they might gain an advan
tage of the Whigs ? Is not a new organ
ization of the Senate districts advocated
solely on the ground that it will weaken
and injure one half of the citizens of
Georgia, and increase the power and
strengthen the ascendancy of the other
half? Who will so stultify himself as to
pretend that this is the way to unite both
political parties on any question? Now
that the Whig candidate for Governor has
been defeated by the adroit perversion of
a purely sectional matter, and the Whigs
placed in minority in both, branches of
the Legislature, the Times thus appeals to
them to forget the wrongs which they
have suffered and are threatened with at
the hands of unprincipled opponents :
" We hope the Whigs of Georgia, will
go to Milledgeville, prepared and deter
mined to meet this great question in the
spirit of Southern men, and not rest the
great hopes of the country on a " master
ly inactivity" and a fatal trust in the pro
tection of the present administration."
That is to say, the " Whigs" should
withdraw all trust and confidence in
such men as Zachary Taylor, George W.
Crawford, Reverdy Johnson, John M.
Clayjpn, and William B. Preston, and con
fide alone in the united Democracy of
Cass, Van Buren, and their Southern aU
lies! This is modest advice to say the
the least of it. For the Whigs to trust
the presetit Administration" will be " fa
tal" to the pure, unselfish, patriotic, Cass
men of the South. This is much to be
regretted, seeing they have done so much,
recently, to conciliate the Whigs, by treat
ing their representatives!!) Congress, their
friends, the President and his Cabinet, and
their candidates for State offices, with
commendable fairness and courtesy ! The
Washington Union says : " iNo matter
what face the Administration may put on,
we will oppose it to the bitter end ;" and
this reckless bitter" sentiment isapprov-
tored mind attriluled lo mayic this mjsierioui
art, which thus could "inak paper talk."

For many centuries, by monks, cleiks. and
others, the only writings were executed on
stone, wood parchment and bones. The origin
of Printing has been the subject of learned,'
