The eminent author has been giving several interesting and valuable lectures in Boston the past season on the subject of I Agriculture The following extracts arc I 4 m taken from the last ot the series, anu con tain many valuable hints and suggestions which it would be well for all readers en gaged in keeping and raising stock, to pond r upon: "Man, more than other animals, lives upon the seed of plants; for this contains more starch, gluten and oil than other parts, but less mineral matter. Th for mer exist in different proportions in va l ion kinds of plants, a fact which should bo kept in mind in determining the kind I of food to be given to different animals. : I (Here a table of the ingredients of differ- j cnt grains and vegetable productions were exhibited.) "Hay and grain contain fifteen parts of water; and vegetables a greater amount.; Starch is found principally in the seeds of plants. Gluten is commonly found in one hundred pirts of the various vegetable productions in the following proportions; in wheat from ten to nineteen, in Indian corn twelve, in buckwheat ten, in rice sev en, in beans and peas twenty-four, in pca etraA' twelve. 'kBut to decide with any degree of accu- racvonwhat an animal should feed, it is as necessary to analyze the flesh of the animal as the vegetable products on which ifis to feed An animal consists of fat, lean and bone. Wash the blood out of a piece of meat and a substance, like gluten, remains called febrine. Oil in plants makes fat in animals and lubricates the parts of their bodies; mineial substances, as phosphate of lime, form the bones; so that in the animal are found substances on which it feeds. 'There is but one apparent, though not real exception lo this remark. Starch which exists in the food of animals, is not found in their flesh and bones. Now if we burn the stirch which exists in the food of animals, it resolves itself into wa- tor and carbonic acid gas. When their food is received into the stomach the standi m..n. tU rtm of th lno I where by respiration, it is resolved into carbonic acid gas and water, ejected by tne breath: but in the nrocess of its re- iluctionto these ingredients, heat, vital heat is evolved. ! - ' barley, &c, which contain a large quanti ' ' l fy of oil, that makes fat; but if we would promote the growth of both fat and mus '''c, we must feed him with oil cake, which, in one hundred parts contains from twenty to thirty of oil, and twenty five of gluten. Hence a skillful care of cattle rc Tes a knowledge not only of their in gredients, but also of their various kind of . td. Such knowledge will enable the -V.Ticr to adapt his care of his cattle 'o .'iic articular use which he designs to wake of them. ,40ther eircumstances also effect their food and productiveness. Young cattle require more food .than those which are full grown, because they have to supply tiO-t only the natural waste, but also the uihs!5u(D which promotes their growth Animals that are shivering with cold re Q'jiro norc food than those which are kept ; mfortahly warm; those that work more 'If we desire to increase the growth of before them describing the Rio Grande as I ' y. . moseloinan animal, we must feed him her only Western boundary.

Hence the cow cab bage is a valuable fodder in cheese making districts. Farm Experience. Mr. Editor: Twenty y ars expe rience upon a farm has taueht me that one acre of land well manured and tilled, will produce more than two acres which receives the same amoant of labor and manure. That one cow, well fed, will be of more profit than two kept on the same fodder. This will also apply to all other slock. That one ton of hay cut when the crass begins to blossom, will produce as much milk as two tons cut when the seed is ripe. That herds-grass and clover will run out on good land in a few years, if cut early. That the farmer needs patience, perse verance, good judgment, and experience. That, "if tlie plough man 'would thrive, himself must ither hold or drive." lint good economy is of more importance lo i the tanner than hard labor. That cold water is the best drink, on I bolted meal makes the best bread. That a well conducted Agricultural pa- per is worth four times its cost to the far- mer. I If this is worlh publishing, some other things I have learned may be forthcoming.' Unity, July, 1S50. JOB. From the Charleston Mcrcar-y. The Boundary vf Texas The iaJe Message of Prcndent Fillmore is an ad- mirable document in one respect, as jt . tends to elucidate tlie kind of government i under which the Southern States now j live. In order that the reader mav be i able to appreciate its positions we will endeavor, in few words, lo set forth those 1 facts which embody the merits of the ary question. Texas boundary que In IS3G, after having declared her in- dependence, Texas, by an act of her Leg- islature, defined the boundaries to which her revolution extended. On the WTest this boundary was the Rio Grande from its mouth to its source. In the trcatv made with President Santa Anna, after 1 the battle of San Jacinto, the Rio Grande, j from its mouth lo its source, is acknowl-; edged to be the Western boundary of Tex- as. Thiafn-atv tv mnndlaipd hv MPV:.n. but it shows iho uniform pretension of IVvo Wlwn !hn l.iltrr .n-.nlin.l In head- milted as a State in the Union, she applied with this boundary, and at the call of Cnnovos fl man was hrrnared and laid u vwwwu - - M ' - I - c - , 1 . rt ! h M I t I A 11 tHr9 tcrriiory lying iumi ul-uxj minutes latitude, slavery would be exclu ded, but that South of that line, slavery should or should not exist, as the people of the State to be orgTnized should deter mine. This line cuts what is called New Mexico now claimed as belonging to the United States, near the middle, leaving Santa Fe on the Southern side. Here in the very legislative act, annexing Texas to the Union was distinct acknowledg ment by Congress that this whole region belonged to Texas, and legislation with respect lo slavery is painfully exercised. President Polk from these acts of Con gress and of Texas, thought that he could not do otherwise than assert the Rio Grande as the boundary of the latter, al though Texas was not at that time in full possession of any part of the country bor dering on the River. " Hence, when he ordered Gen. Taylor to march and take position on the Rio Grande, his political "IJjjuutmis in congress assailed the mfeas- ... lt i i 4 A ure as one ot hostility to Mexico, denying mat this region rightfully belonged to Texas. President Polk and the majority in ongresj thought ditJerently and when a scouting party of Gen. Taylors army was attacked and some of them killed by the Mexican forces, the President in a special message announces that "Ameri- can blood has been shed on American! soil," and Congress supported this decla-j ration by voting that ''war exists by the! act of Mexico." The Mexican war thus ' begun to vindicate the right of Texas to the boundary of the Rio Grande from its Michigan, to be called "Superior;" a res mouth to its source. For it all rested olution lo that effect having been introdu upon the same foundation. So far as Ced nto tne Michigan Constitutional Con possession was concerned she had no more vention. The portion out of which it is possession of the scene of Capt. Thornton's proposed to form the new State, or Terri unfortunate skirmish, than of the city o lry is that part of the State of Michigan Santa Fe, at the time of annexation. The,b''ng north of Wisconsin, and between United Slates army, representing Texas as the other States, conquered and took possession of the country lying along the whole course of the RioGrandc. When the treaty of Gaudalupe Hidalgo was negotiated, establishing peace between Mexico and the United Slates, a map was attached to tlie treaty to show precisely what Mexico 3-ielded. and whac Texas (the vindication of whose boundary was the professed object of the war,) and the United States gained. On this map the Rio G rande, from its mouth to its source, is marked in colors as the boundurv of 1 1 xas. IleVe the object of the war, so far as Texas was interested, was fully accom plished. Her boundary was enforced by the general Government, and aeknowled- geii uy Mexico, un this map, the tern lory lying West of the Rio Grande is dc signaled. as New Mexico, thus showing most clearly what the treat) meant when speaking of New Mexico, and what was understood to he conveyed and received as belonging to the United SlateF. m'gn, l)e supposed that this would have precluded all dispute as the bounda ries of Texas, both with Mexico and the ; United States. And so it ilitl. according I lo the construction of those who entered into the war to vindicate and settle the boundary ot I exas, anil ot those who made tle treaty. President Polk, at the reqest of Texas, withdrew the United Slales tro0Ps from 1hc ,mvcr Rio Grande, ani, u ilcn requested 10 no tnc same on the UPPC, be gave instructions to the ofii-, cers in comarul at ant:i fe, to aid Tex - ' as in extending her laws and jurisdiction ; jovcr ,hal district.

Terrible. The cars on the New. York and Erie railroad, fa train of 22) heavily laden with livestock, was crossing an iron bridge over a deep chasm; the bridge gave vvy,and 16 of the cars were precipitated into the chasm 5 feet deep, eontaining1 100 cattle,, 250 hogs, and 750 sheep. This mass of ruins, broken cars, killed and wounded cattle, and two or three per sons, was dreadful to behold. One manj was cot out alive. Two or three others 1 1 could be seen, and heard begging for as-j sistaucc.

We regret to men tion a serious accident which happened to an old and respected citizen. Gen. Monles- qUe (:ampbell, on Thursday morning last, Oen.

The Riot in Scottsville We under stand that the rowdies who were engaged in the mob at Scottsville on Monday night, and who had the pleasure and satisfaction; ot beating and half drowning 1 negro, continued their "sport" on Wednesday," and added greatly to the intense enjoy ment of it by maltreating in the most bru tal manner a colored woman, the wife of the object of their refined amusement 011 Monday night! On the afternoon of Wed nesday, in open day, a crowd of brut s, led on bv a man of property in the vil lage, the same who led the previous mob, went to the house of the colored man whea ne" was absent at work. seized his wife, dragged her from her house, showered her with a coat of tar and feathers if she did not leave town immediately, and be stowed upon her all the abuse their brutal instincts could suggest. This w as doneia the presence of 75 or 100 men and boys. The officers of justice did not, and proba bly dared not interfere, and the mob ex ulted in their triumph. They justify themselves by asserting that the woman is intemperate! The leader of the mob is himself intemperate. Rochester American. From the Portsmouth Pilot, Beauties of Emancipation. A cor- respondent of the New York Herald, writing from Point a Fetre,. under data of May 25th, has the following: Allow a brother of the press, who haff been always received by your kindness, to give yon an account of the miseries of this poor colony. Since the events which took place in France, the French coiouies have become the prey of the most ardent socialism. The negroes taught by this infernal school, have refused to wtrk on the plantations. and have invaded the cities, where, in the most abject misery, they lead c disonh ly life.

Such a state of things cannot continue; the misery is extreme, lhe despair is profound and lhe emigra tion of several rich families has crowned our troubles. Attempted Abduction. We under stand that an atempt was made by some of the company of Robinson & EldrccPs Circus, during their late visit to our vil lage, to ehtice away a couple of young girls aged 12 and 13 daughters of a widow Clark, living on Beebe's Island. The attempt was a bold one, and the ras cals engaged in it deserve to be ''posted up." The girls, as. we understand, were around the tent during the afternoon's performance, and attracted the attention of the door-keeper, who, after inquiring their names and something of their histo ry, invited them in. Every effort was hen made to Win their confidence, and through the influence of numcious pres ents, and a promise of 200 on their reach ing New York City, the girls consented to go with them. Arrangements were according!) made to convey them lo Sack ets Harbor immediately on the close of the evenings performance. Their mother, till then Unconscious of what was going on, employed constable Keon to assist her , in obtaining their release. The company toutly refused to give them up but find ng that legal action was about to be taken. let them go. VVc advise parents, where this company may visit, to look well to their children.
