The Farmer. Among the man
ual occupations the agricultural
life is most favorable to intellectu
al cultivation. And for these
iwo reasons: Firsl, there are ihe
l'nt winter evenings, when the
!armer having turned from the
i'"rels, from which he gets his fu
el for his fire m y set at thai
fire and read read and reflect,
with none to molest or make him
afraid.
Secondly, his occupation itself
is so various requires so much
planning, that it is a constant spur
to his ingenuity. It is really an
exertion of no small judgment to
. f I Ml 11 fl
tairy on a larm SKUiuilv. He
who can do it, must understand
the season and the soil, lie must
understand when it is best to put
in ihe seed; and when the sickle;
in a word he is the bird and gov
ernor of a little territory, in which
he may manifest the wisdom ol
his plans, and the rectitude of his
laws. He must work with his
mind as well as with his hands,
and ihe ingenuity of the one will
soon be seen as well as the indus
try of the other.
There is no employment in
which the reward of sagacity and
penetration is more immediate.
A great writer on economy de
clares: "After what is called the
fine arts and the liberal profes
sions, there is no trade which re
quires so great variety of knowl
edge and experience. The innu
merable volumes which have been
written upon it in all languages
may satisfy us, that among the
wisest and most learned nations,
it has never been regarded as a
matter very easily understood.
And from all these volumes we
shall in vain attempt to collect
that knowledge of its various and
complicated operations, which is
commonly possessed even by the
common larmer.
Oil in Indian Corn. It is as
serted, upon what authority we
are not informed, that this is used
as a substitute for sperm oil in
Cincinnati, (Ohio,) that it burns
better, gives more light and has
less odor than the sperm; and
that half a gallon is produced
from a bushel of the grain. For
so dry a substance as maize, we
should have tho't this impossible.
JV. Y. Star.
Gen. Jesup. In a late despatch
to the War Department, Gen. Jes
up makes the following umenile
honorable to Gen. Scott, and oth
ers of his brother Office-s, to
whose operations in Florida he
may have made disparaging allu
sions: "Kvery department and every
individual has fulfilled my utmost
expectations, and nothing necessa
ry to be done has been left un
done. "As an act of justice to all my
predecessors in command, I con
sider it my duly to say that the
difficulties attending military ope
ration in this country can be pro
perly appreciated only by those
acquainted with them. I have
had advantages which neither of
them possessed, in belter prepara
tions and more abundant supplies;
and I found it impossible to ope
rate with any prospect of success
until I had established a line ol
depots across the country.
"This is a service which no
man would seek with any other
view than the mere performance
of his duty; distinction or in
crease of reputation is out of the
question; and the difficulties are
such, lint the best concerted plans
may result in absolute failure, and
the best established reputation be
lost without a fault.
"If I have at any time said
aught in disparagement of the
operations of others in Florida,
either verbally or in writing, offi
cially or unofficially, knowing the
country as I now know it, I consi
der myself bound as a man of hon
or solemnly to retract it."
Shocking Accident. On Satur
day last, w hilst the friends of the
Administration in this place were
firing a salute in honor ol the In
auguration of Mr. Van B uren, n
premature discharge of the can
non took place, by which Air.
Williamson, brickunsou, had both
his ha-d- blown oflT, and other
persons were slightly injured. It
was found necessary to amputate
both the arms of Mr. Williamson,
par the elbow, which operations
were successfully performed, and
we understand he is likely tore

Murder. On Saturday night
last, a negro man named Boyd,
the properly of Mrs. Grice of
Sampson county, was stabbed by
another man named Bryant, the
property of Norman McLeod,
decl. Boyd died of ihe wound
in about five hours. Bryant ran
off but was pursued, and l.'ken on
Saturday, about five miles from

his trial. ib.
Another new State. The Le
gislature of Florida at Tallahas
see, before adjournment, passed a
law directing ihe necessary steps
for a census and application for

Texas. Sine. the recognition
of Texas by our government has
been officially announced, the
flood of emicralion will doubtless
augment tenfold lo litis land of
promise. The Philadelphia In
quirer says:
We understand it is in contem
plation to raise 500 men in this
city for ihe Texan army. Vol
unteers will be fully armed and
equipped, sent to Texas passage
free, and Drovisions found. Thev
will be well paid, and alier two

A man of Business B( rjatnin
Rnihbun, the great Bnfi . in (, Y.)
defaulter and forger, publishes an
address to the public, ociupyine:
five and a half columns in one of
ihe large papers of that city , rtla
live to his business and iis unfor
tunate termination. Among oth
er matter lie gives a statement of
his agent?, overseers, foremen,
&c. from which it appears he had
employed in his various opera
tions II general agents; 9 super
iuteudauts; 46 foremen; 2 archi
tects; I measurer of lumber; L
teller; 2 book-keepers; I pav
master of mechanics; 5 head

Under these superinteiidants, &c.
he had in his employ about 2000
operatives: and he slates his daily
disbursements lo have been not
less than $I0;000. There is
scarcely a branch of business of
any kind, in which he was not
largely engaged; besides whurli
he kept four of ihe latgesl storesv
in the western country two dry
goods, one of carpets, and one of
groceries, provisions, hardware,
&ic. in each of which he had
from six to nine clerks. Kathbun

Horrid Suspicion. John Deli
ver, a rich settler at Tariff, Ohio,
has been committed t-i prison
there, for the supposed murder of
a family consisting of four per
sons, named Gotgas, in the year
1 834-5, whose property he took
povsessiou of, reporting they had
emigrated to Missouri. Two of
the bodies had been discovered;
and plunder is supposed lo have
been the only incentive- to this
outrageous and bloody deed.
