McEaehern changed his mind .fter reaching the depot, and as Bunyan says of his pilgrims, "we saw him no more." Bonner continued with us till the sight of the mountains1 suggested difficulties too great for his resolution, and then accepted an invitation from his friends to go to Asheville. At half past three we left Raleigh on a train crowded with passengers, many of whom were the western members returning to their homes, several of them accompanied by their families who had shared the honors and pleasures of their in cumbency at the Capitol. A few nnuutes after the start, we pB83 tl)e vstate penitentiary, whose massive wall of beautiful granite, surmounted by numerous watch- towers, and along whose broad coping faithful sentinels are ever j pacing, with watchful care, at once attract the eye and fixes the at-: tention. trectea Dy tne laoor oi the convicts, from material imme-1 diately at hand, it stands as an en-1 daring monument ot patient labor directed by great engineering skill, , and excellent architectural taste.

Hicks) it will rank prominently among the public buildings of the I State.

"As good a wall," said the warden, ! "as any in the United States." Here are gathered about three: hundred and fifty ot the State's ; criminal population, about two1 hundred and fifty of whom are col ored, aud for'y-thre-e are women, onlv two of whom are white. The' balance ot the State's criminals j comprising more than seven hun dred are employed upon the rail roads and other public works of the State. It may be thought from the tact of their being found here, that they are the worst men and women in the State Hut this is probablv not the case. Their countenances do not indicate it. I have looked i in their faces lreqaently while en gaged in their work while eating their supper at the Sunday-school , and at the preaching service, and jam sure they do not compare un . favorably in appearance with opera i tives engaged iu similar work else 'where, or with groujis which may, be seen from time to time on the street cornel s and in other public places. Their counterparts are to i be found all around us. They ex hibit the weak side of human na-j turo perhaps more often than the vicious side, they have stumbled in the path which multitudes have trod which we all tread in great weakness; to which it may be added , that multitudes have stumbled who have not been caught up by the penitentiary. And :' "s to ihe glory of human natuie, and the1 praise of thi-se engaged in the work, ' that week by week, and year fter vear, Sunday school is maintained and instruction given Py young im-n from the city, and the gospel is preached by the pastors of the sev er i'. churches in rotation.

Common obser vation confirms this. When the children shall, m a lare decree, ho brought under t ho intluence of ca pable and moral teachers, and do reloped in "intellicenre," we may look for fewer criminals within the school age and a corresponding diminuaation of cases of larceny. Kiisilagp. Elsewhere we print today a le t ter from a North Carolinian on the subject of ensdage which we clipped . some little time ago from the Rich mond Jyispatch, tor the benefit of our farmer friends. The matter is an important one, since for example, it is estimated that if the ensilage system were generally applied m ' New England, the worn-out lands of that bleak region would again tvecome highly productive. At the fifth annnat congress of believers in ensilage, held recently iu New York, the chairman of the meeting said: "In a short time, under the I ensilage system, the fodder supply of the countrv would be doubled. It is a great thing for the western cattle raiser, for gras.s can be kept as well as corn. I am using more fnd more ensilage on my farm every vear, and the more I use it the more I like it." The opening addres-s was made by a Vermont farmer, who gave as his personal experience on two farms near "I have 1 St. Albans the following: fed my stock on ensilage ; for the last six years, and today they are in spleudid condition, From the seventy acres of land that i I planted with corn I obtained last year 1,200 tons of ensilage. To , maice ensilage tnat win produce tne best batter the corn should be planted in hills from four to six inches apart and then carefully cul tivated. In this way we raised 27J ; tons to the acre last year and hope to raise 40 tons next year. The to tal cost per ton of plowing, planting, catting and putting in silos was seventv-seven cents per ton. The corn should be cat when it is be- ginning to glaze and the weather is dry. After being put in the silos it sion I would establish a beef factory in the East and feed the cattle on ensilage." The conclusion of the Congress seemed to be that ensilage m its various forms is better than any other kind of fodder for cattle. A Pennsvlvaniau said ho had used ' clover ensilage advantageously m feeding horses. He packed it iu the silos dry. A Connecticut man said that be had been unable to make good ensilage from clover. bat that he had packed it wet. Other farmers said thev were breed- ing sheep on clover ensilage wit h good results. We do not know how well adapt ed to North Carolina generally the system may bo. It has beeu ap plied with excellent results in the neighborhood of this city. The farmers of the State should studv the subject. Intelligently applied j the system would probably prove of great value everywhere. Here-. sumuw ii li v i u ui nun e ei i ii i u the way of green forage is packed , away and remains during the win ter lresh aud wholesome. Let our friends in the country read the let ter of Mr. Garret and they may be profited by his experience. yrirs and Obtttrrsr . A Siijreestion. The grrat work of the Department of Agriculture of North Carolina is t" de velop the industrial enterprise of the Scate. We believe it has already done i mnch in that direction. Its province is to t&ke the lead and foter the rise in Dew industries. The complaint in the eastern part of North Carolina is that it haa done nothing for thia seen n of the Stale, and that what it commenced to do it has abandoned. In the Hsh hatch log business it was. we thiuk. accomp lishing a deal of go.sl when it assumt-d the role of Lot s wife. We are a race 1 of farmers and fishermen. As farmers wo come in for our share of the good work of the LVpartment for the n hole State, bat our peculiar interests are as fUheraneo. It is believed by thought ful men among us that our undeveloped oyster industry is a mine of wealth tu us. But it ia comparatively untried. We are poor ao-d uuable to take risk. The board is well etpjipjpfd with lxth brains and money and can afford to take risks. They are dov semelhing for u now to advertise th" oyster bu-i dm. They can do more.

Recollections of Old Citizens of Jones County. I1Y i VR ITEMIZERj Tim grandfather of .Joseph Kin sey, sr., was a native Ol rlOliaild, one ot the tlrst settlers of New Berne under Gratl'enreid, whose name was Maurice or Morris Kin sey. We have been unable tolearu how many children he had; from the records we learn that one of his sons moved to -lones county while a young man, whose name was .Joseph Kinsey, and settled near the head waters of the Trent. This old gentleman was the father of the subject of the present sketch, and was by trade a blacksmith and bell maker. I further find that he had born to him seven children, and th,t the younger one, Joseph, inherited the old homestead where he resided when I first knew h:m. He was born October 27th, 1777, and was near (JO years old at the date of my first recollection. The tirst time I recollect seeing him was at lrenton; I can well recollect how he was having an earnest and ani mated conversation abont the im provement of the farm and the care of stock with several of the old farmers that were present. Mr. Kinsev was not onlv a farmer, ' but an excellent mechanic; in laCL, he was able to do any thing ot a mechanical nature that was needed in the house or on the farm: was a blacksmith, carpenter, wheelwright and shoemaker. Mr. Kinsey accumulated a large property in lands aud slaves during j his long and useful life. I have often heard old people remark that if they only could make everything that was needed at their homes, like Mr. Kinsey, they, too, could save monev and improve their farms. His farm was managed with a kind of clock work precision; every tool had its place; no time was lost in looking for it. Let either son or servant neglect placing it in its place, and the old gent was sure to find it out and call him to a rigid account tor his negligence. He taught his slaves habits of cleauliuess; would have an inspec tion of their cabins and would call them together every once a week, and if their clothing was not in a neat and cleanly order, they were much so that he only had one plate and a knife and fork. He was mar ried three times. The name of his first wife I have been nnable to learn, but his second wife was a Miss Brock, aud by her had six children, four boys and two girls. After her death he married a Miss Susan lihem, and Dy her had twelve children, nine boys and three girls. All of his boys were instructed in a mechanical '.trade; iu fact, they were all naturally inclined and in herited mechanicism from their father. Mr. Kinsey, when he had become quite an old man a with a prosperous farm and a quiet, happy ........... oU..v,ul,v.,v J CD plenty, owing no man a dollar, came near being ruined bv signing a note with one of his cousins who was then doiug business at New Berne, and as Mr. Kinsev and every one else supposed bis business to be on I sure and firm foundation. But not , anBin wee l"e I?1,Towmfv , ,, ,., . ii j Bv Mr. Townshend, of Illinois Pro- so: this cousin tailed aud poor Mr. , a con8tltutional amendmfnt, Kinsey had to shoulder the note, providing that the President and Vice which, priucipal and Interest, President shall be elected bv a mnjority amounted to near live thousand j of the people, abolishing the Electoral dollars.

Mr. Kinsey named all of his chil dren, or had their names to begin with the letter .1, aud his last son's name was Jay Robert. The names of Mr. Kinsey 's ancestors were spelled thus: Kiucey, but in 1830 or LvH it was changed to Kinsey. 1 have often thought what a re markable mind he possessed could recollect dateu and events with unerring certainty; was a keen ob server of everything and had a well ballauced judgment on almost everything that passed before him, and had he been a thoroughly edu cated man. would have been the peer of many of our great men. Wo loam that the old anvil that was used by Mr. Kinsey's grand father to shape his iron upon, is now- iu possession ot the family and kept by them as an heirloom, and i' suppose they intend to hand it over to others who mav succeed t hem. 1 have often tii.it almost any 1 : v . ii g on rich heard him remark man could make a land, but it took a Mi) ai t m an This old to do it on jioor land, gentleman was always .-ure to have everything that he earned to market put up iu tiie neatest in. inner; always could ob tain a l-e'ter price, as purchasers iI'a.ivs found that his articles weie I is- .is he re ommeniled them.

In olferiug the proposed rule, called , attention to th" lar-; Jr. Hoar number of important bills left over on adjourn ment of the last Congre-s. and the cor responding cumber of public grievances left consequently unredressed. Mr. Hoar deprecated the practice of adjourn ing from Thursdays to Mondays. A joint resolution from the House was placed before the Senate appro priating money for the relief of the North Cheyene Indians. Upon exam ination and discussiou the spelling of some of the words of the bill was found to be wrong. Mr. Dawes said the spelling was euch as to render the in- I tent of Congress doubtful, and the niat- ter went over, so as to permit of correc tion.

At 3:33 p. m. the Senate went into executive session. At 4:05 the doors were re-opened.

An Cld Paper. The "Newport Mercury, or Weekly Advertiser. " a four page paper, eight by twelve inches, of Tuesday, Decem ber 19th. 17 i8, has been placed on our table by Lieut. Beckwit'i of the revenue cutter stevens. It was printed at New port; Rhode Island, by James Franklin, "at the printing office under the town school," and is in a good state of pres ervation. It was found by Lieut. Beck with among his father's papers and is much prized by him. The first page and nearly half of the second is given to the publication of a letter from London which discribes the political situation in Europe, es pecially the troubles between . Prussia and Russia. Then follows an article in response to the editor's request on Agri culture, whice we reproduce verbatim et liber atum: Mr. Franklin. I MAKE no Doubt you had the Good of your Country in view, when vou in vited your Correspondents, in your Pa per of last Tuesday, to furnish you with some select f leces on Agriculture, for the Benefit of those Farmers who would improve their Lands to the best Advan tage, the Year Approachinsr. I am very sensible, that this country in general, stands in the greatest Need of such Instruction, and this Colony in a particular Manner. This will, in my - . . . . . . . . wpinion, oe a Diessea Means or banish ing from our Farmers, the unhappy Prejudice they have imbib'd from their Childhood, or what they call, the Folly of farming by Book; which when they try with Diligence, and a right Use of their Reason, I am sure must con vince them of the real Necessity of farm ing by Rule as the most certain and ra tional Means of obtaining Wealth by Agriculture: All other Methods now us'd among us, are but guess Work; which is the principle Reason why we so often fail of Crops in this Govern ment. In order to a regular Knowlege there of, it is necessary the farmer should be well acquainted with the Kind of Land he is to work upon, as they are of sever al Sorts. And notwithstanding it is thought by many among us, that be cause our Land requires Toil and Care to make it bring forth, it is poor, and but of small Value, compared with the Land in England ; which allow me to say, is a great Mistake; for with great Truth it may be asserted, that the' natur al uncultivated Soil of this Country in general, is as good, if not in many Places better, than the natural unculti vated Soil of Great Britain, or any other Country; and with a right Improvement and proper Management, will yield to none for raising Grain of all Sorts, fat tening Cattle, and every other Thing that the Farmer can raise in Great Britain. Skill and Industry are only wanting to make this little Colony as famous and as rich as any would desire from our own Productions. It is remarkable, how much is yearly rais'd among us for the Comfort of Life, with little or no Skill or Art, but by mere Dint of Labor: How much more then might be rais'd yearly on the same Lands, with a skillful Management, is not to be conceiv'd! For with a right Cultivation and Management, our Lands will not wear out (as we call it here) but will be constantly growing better. And after we have got in our Crops, the Land will be left in a better State than we found it the Year be fore: it may be kept increas ing in Goodness during the Age of Man. And by the same Reason, with a skill ful Management, every Part of the Bus iness of a Farmer may be increased both in Produce and Value. Forthewantof Skill in Agriculture, and proper Dili gence, it is, that our Farms here suffer so shamefully, and lie so neglected as they do. As my Countrymen do not want for natural good Genius', what pity is it, that they should suffer themselves to be now and then reproach 'd with the good and neat Management of a Piece of Ground, by the Skill of bat an indiffer ent Farmer From Home ! It is certain, that a skillful and diligent Improvement of a Country, will always make it flour ish; without which, it must languish and die. In order, therefore, to remove the Prejudices of my Countrymen, against a regular Method of farming, and to convince them of the Necessity of it. I purpose in my. next to send you, for their information, a short Tract or Essay upon the different Sorts or Kinds of Earth, or the Land on which they are to work; very necessary for them first to know, they undertake to till or im prove it: for a Mistake there will spoil all, and they will lose their Labor, let it be ever so great; if that be misapplied. In the mean Time, J am, Rhode Island, Uec.15. 1758. Your Humble Servant t Philanthropos. Then follows a clipping from the New York Gazette giving the situation in Canada, an account of the evacua tion of Fort Du Quesne by the French, etc. The balance of the sheet is filled with advertisements amonc which we find a lottery advertised, "Poor Richard's Almanacks," five bags of cotton which were picked np at sea, vendues, removals, blacksmith tools and other sales, and a boarding school. The last named advertisement is by Sarah Osborn, who proposes that "Any Person desirous of sending Children, may be accommodated, and have them instructed in Reading, Writing, Plain Work, Embroidering, Tent Stitch. Samplers, etc., on reasonable Terms." We may judge from this advertisement that industrial schools were very com mon in those days, or at least children were taught to do manual as well as mental labor at school. It is quite an interesting little sheet. FOREIGN NEWS. Atiiens, Jan. 26. The Greek fleet has departed f'om Piraeus to avoid being blockaded by the British fleet.
