ITS NAVIGATORS. The noble fleet of steamships that every Saturday leaves our city wharves for nearly all the great ports of "the world, naturally directs the mind to the origin of ocean steam-navigation, and will render interesting an account of the pioneer steamship and its navigators. After too great principle of the application of steam to the propelling of vessels had leen established by Robert Fulton, a few small steamers were built for coast-navigation, but the State of New York excluded them from her waters,, upon the ground thr.t she had the exfluave right of that kind of navigation. For the right to build the Walk-in-the-waor, for tho navigation of the Great Lakes the first of the kind ever built Netr York claimed and raeeived the sum of five hundred dollars, but the Supreme Court promptly disposed of this claim, and steam-navigation in our waters became open to the world. The navigation of the ocean by steam now became an important question ; and, notwithstanding the disheartening propheciea of lr. Lardner, there were people in this country who took a more hopeful view of too subject. In 1818 there flourished in Savannah, Ga., the wealthy ami enterprising commercial house of Scarborough k Isaacs. The head of the house had great confidence that, at no distant dny, the ocean would be navigated by steam. He went to New York Mid purchased a ship of about three hundred and fifty tons, then on the stocks, and, as a deserved compliment to his State taid city, named her the Savannah, and determined, with her, to try tlie experiment of crossing the ocean without sails. In casting about for the right kind of men to assist him, he fixed upon Gapt Moses Rogers, a person of great mechanical skill and ingenuity, who Tiful bpAvt fnmilifir nrA Uant;Ai
with the experiments of Pulton, but he was n6t a a-navigator. A thorough, experienced, and practical sailor was now wanted, and just such a man was found in the person of Capt. Stevens Rogers, the brother of Moses. After having been furnished with an engine by Stephen Vail, of lorristown, conjointly with Daniel Dodd, of Elizabethtown, the Savannah was placed under the command of the two Captains Rogers the one to superintend and direct her machinery the other to act as sailing-master. They were two as intrepid and able men as the country contained at that time, and under their direction, the ship sailed for Savanna!.! on the 29th of March, 1819 The triid-trip was highly successful. The vessel then proceeded to Charleston, and, after being lionized there for a short time, look James Monroe, thi! President of the United States, to Savannah. On the 2ffh of May she sailed direct for Liverpool, making the passage in twenty-two days, eighteen of which werejinaex steam, some economy of fuel having, been deemed sdvisable lest the supply f hould be exhausted. l)uriiifir the vnviio-n smm iilni;.
several nmusing "incidents occurred, but
we jiavtj room omy lor tne two loUowmg, obtained diractly from tho officers in command : When, tho Lip was approaching Gape Clear, under steam, she was discovered hv the officers of tlin talf-nrnnh utiifiim
r-i , and wjst reported to the Admiral in command ti t Cork as a ship on fire. The Admiral at once dispatched a fast cutter, well manned, to her relief ; but groat was their wonder at their total inability, tinder all sail and with a good breeze, to
come up with the ship under bare oolcn. After several shotn had boon fired from the cutter,, the engine of tho ship was stopped, and the cuttor permitted to approach, when her officers wore invited on board to examine and admire tiiie new invention. Soon after dropping her anchor in the harbor of Liverpool, a bout, miiineil with sailors in naval uniform, core unfilled by a lieutenant, came alongside, and the officer, in a tone more authoritative than pleasing, demanded of the first man he saw : " Where's your master ?" " I have no master," replied the Anierioan. " Where's your captain, then, sir ?" " He is below, sir," was the reply. On reaching the deck, Capt. Rogers
asked the Englishman what he wanted.
The officer replied r " My commander wants to know bv
what authority you wear that pennant, sir ?" pointing with his sword to a coachwhip pennant flying at the main-mast ;
head.
To this the captain replied : " By the authority of my Government, which" is republican, and permits me to do so," The officer then remarked that commander considered it as an iipiult to : him, and, commanding the American to haul down the pennant, intimated thnt if it was not quickly done, he would he supplied with help. j Thin was a little too much for Yank ?e spirit to endure, and Rogers instantly j gave the order to haul down the coachwhip, and supply its place with a broad , blue pennant, such as were worn by the commanders of squadrons in our own navy, and ranking with the highest graSe in that of the British, and then, in a loud tone of voioe, so that he might be heard by the English, he dires:cd the i engineer to get the hot-water pipes ' ready. This had the desired effect, al-' though there was no such apparatus on ', board, and the gallant lieutena it and ; his crew pulled for dear life. The hotwater jeers, whiclt wore subsequently leveled at the British officers, caused ; them to start upon an early cruise. Tho Savannah attracted great attention at Liverpool ; was visited by the i authorities, and, as her fame Bp: 'end to j London, the erown-officers, nollemen, ' and many leading merchants visited her. The officers were very anxious to ascer- ! tain her speed, her errand, and her ties- j tination. It was suspected by some that . her design was to rescue Napoleon Bona- ; parte, then a prisoner at St. Heh na, his brother Jerome having offered f or that purpose a largo sum. She was ct.refully watched by the British Government, and ; ships-of-war were stationed at certain : points for that purpose, which, for a time, prevented her departure from Jjivarpoof. She finally proceeded to Copenhagen, : where she excited great manifeF ratios
of wonder and curiosity. Thence she
proceeded to Stockholm, where she was
visited by the royal family, ministers of : state, and naval officere, who, by invita- ; tion, dined on board, and took au excur
sion among the neighboring inlands,

To her sailingmaster was presented an elegaLt snuffbox of pure and massive geld, on the cover of which, inlaid with platina, was a representation of PeW the Great asleep upon his horse, standing on the rock from which he viewed the Swedish ' army, with the serpent biting the heel of the horse, which awoke him in time 1 to successfully attack tho Swedes. At the bottom cf the box was this inscrip-; tion : "Presented by Sir Thomas (Ira- ' ham, Lord Lyndoek, to Stevens Rogers, sailing-master of the steamship Savaa- j nah, at St. Petersburg, October 10, 1819. " Lord Lyndoek had taken passage on the steamer by invitation of Christopher Hughes, then American Minister to Sweden. Upon her arrival at St. : Petersburg, the vessel was visited by the ; entire court, who tested her qualities by j a trip to Cxonstadt ; and so well pleased was the Emperor that ho caused the j officers to be treated with marked atten- j tion. ' They were invited to be present : at a review of eighty thousand troops by ! the Emperor in person ; and a frigate of ' the largest class was launched on the j " Camels," and taken down to Cronstndt as an exhibition of the progret.3 of the i arts in Russia. The Emperor solicited j Cape Stevens Rogers to remain in the j Rusaian seas with his steamer, offering ! him the protection of the Government and the exclusive navigation of the Black and Baltic Seas for a number. of years ; , and to Capt.

The crops this year do not move, and the farmers are wondering -where the
money will come from to pay their tax,
j ami nusiiiess men are every day coming
closer to tne vortex. Such timer, were never seen in this : country before. We have gaily ridden . high upon a faLse prosperity ior many : years, while the corporations 'vere get- ; ting "wider holds," and nov we are thrown. j The mining and manufacturing corporations h ive it so arranged with the Con- ; gross of "he United States that by a tariff there is legislated to their cotton and woolen good?-, iron, coal and leather, an artificial profit. Say the duty on iron is $,) per ton, thnt amo.int is the artificial profit otired , into the iron-master's pocket over and above the natural profit on hin produc- ; tion. But whence comes the fai-mi: r's artificial piolit? Where is the Congress i which ci.n legislate to his corn, wheat, ! oats and pork, luicl cattle ai: artificial : value ? There is none. His produce sells at prices as low us before the war, ' while everything he buys, by operation of the tariff, is nt a wiir price! A farrier would cheerfnlly sell his pork at 2.75 or $3.00 per hundred, if ; cotton ! aud woolen goods, salt and other 1 articles which he buys were it propor- ; tionate rates, bnt they are not. So, a ' farmer comes to town and putf. two loads I of potatoes on his feet, in the shape of j his winter boots. If he stays all night ; he will eat a load of oats. His wife ! wears five acres of wheat, an'o the chil- ! dren cncl l ten acres of corn, a id are not j very warmly clad then. For nn over- , eont he weiirs a good four-year-old ; steer, and if he sports a Sund vy suit it , is in the shape of at least twenty head : of fat hogs. And on top o: that his farm bears a mortgage that is worse than 1 hard-put to the soil, and the iiunual tax rots in':o his roof worse than ruin. He m ist eat and wear, an 1 from the ! small price of his produce nn,,st pay to the manufacturer the artificial . profit which the tariff puts upon his goods, i while the profit which the farmer shonld realize goes to the railroad corporations for earning his crops to market. Should we be asked the process by 1 which tais state of things has been ; reached, we could only answer that it is by our Congress, courts, and legislature ; makirg :aioneyeil corprations of all sorts supreme and superior to the people. It was not so once. There wasa time when th'S people were supreme, but that time is f:one. Iowa City Pr rsx. Preparing Poultry for SturltThero is a large amount of money wasted in freights every ye ir in the United States, and especially in the West, owing to the fact that farmers and others who send poultry to market do not take advantage of the season. During the warm months it is absolutely liecessaiy that poultry bo sent alive, for if seit dressed they will not keep. But with the advent of cold wcnt'ier this is all changed. The dressed poi ltry brings the better price. Again, money is lost by not knowing just how to prepare and
pack poultry ; tor there is is much m the manner of preparing the article as in the commodity itself. Birc.s carefully picked and packed will alwayfi command one or two cents per pound more than if the work is slovenly done, however fat the low' s may bo. Fowhi, :ve'n chickens, shou'.d be drypicked, leaving on the head and feet. Then, i:' fat, shonld be wrapped in clean straw puper, and packed with clean, rlry straw, in clean boxes ; thus :hey will always commanel a good price, however the maiket may be glutted with ordinary samples . If scalded, the temperature of the watnr should never be more than 190 deg. Fahrenheit, and after being picked they should be immediately dipped in pure cold water, and placed where they may dry and become cool. Never pack whl.'.e moist or soft. This is one of the most fatal mistakes ; and in packing be cartful not to tear the skir.. All that have had tho skin broken should be thrown aside for family use, for they will inevitably reduce the price of the good ones. The shrinkage on live poultry sent to market is considerable, some imes equal to eight or ten per cent, of the original weight, This again is saved when tho (nsignmenti8 shipped elressed.

Woman's Rlg'tat to a Wo l-Plle. A correspondent of the Maine Farmer writes : IVrhapa the family may live on n fiirm where wood may be hud with little labor at the right time ; but insteael
of that tho woman may have small children, some of them sick, aid but very litvle wood, if any. What ciu bo more trying for a woman, when she can get very little times to work about the house, than to be hindered for the want of fuel? I thin'i if her husband could bp placed in he:: situation for a month, it would cure him of being so neglectful about ; providing good fuel if he was not past curing. Besides all the et scomfort, it looks very shiftless to see a man thai; i cannot go to his vork in the morning, i because ho has to stop ni.d got some : wood. And before he retires at night. ; hei must get a rail off the fence to make , fire i:i the morning. Such a man cannot be said to be a thrifty farmer. I think the wood-file a faii test of the father's lovo for the wife nud children : If yo i want domestic peace arid a warm . dinner, get some dry wood, put it undercover make a good fire, and let tho tired wife rest awhile. Remember she is shut up witli the children more t' uin you are, : and her mind and body need rest and relaxation. Machinery I'm I niu (' itlliifc The American Artisan says : It i-i remarkable that, with all tho invention:! j of an agricultural nature, iie-re shouli . j be nothing in relation to cutting com. j The millions of acres in the United States have still to be cut d wn with iv old c;irn-knife, made out of a piece of old ssythe, just nn it was cut n hundred i year- ago ; and it, all lias to be gathered ; and shocked by hand in tin? same manner it was in the olden time. Yet it ' seems as if something mipht easily be j devised. Certainly a machine onii be i readily adopted to cutting it ; but the shooting by machinery could not per-
haps be as well ,lone. Still, American ; gi'iiius ought to be equal to the accora-; plishme.it of such a macliine txi perfee-; tion ; and, only that it has not yet been 1 done, we might hazard a guess that at ; a future time some one will succeed i in doing so. j

Tie JftUing f Andrew Strong.
The Wilmingtoa (N. C.) Journal gives the following particulars of the staying of Andrew Strong, the last but one, of the notorious band of outlaws known as the " Swamp Angels " that have so long
uuesteu Kobe son county in that State: One try one the band' of Robeson county outlaws hate dwinelled down until there is now but one )tft of the entire formi.lnble gang. For some t)$te past Andmw Strong and Stephen Lowety have escaped the vengeance of ihe law, and huve reigned unmolested overScuffletown; but at iengtli the former , has been killed, and Stephen Lowery is the only one left of the entire gang. At Eureka, a small Btstion on the Wilmington, Charlotte tad Rutherford railroad, in the heart of the ScnffletonTi region, and. about eighty miles froxr. tbei city, there mi s considerable Chriatmae gathering of the chins of the outlaws oil Thursday. Steve Lowery- was absent but .Andrew Strong was there with t. numlter of his friends. About 2 o'eilock of that day, while a number of negroes were in a store at the station, one of tlicni stole a number of locks and secrete I them in his pocket He wa"H charged with the theft by a young man by the name of Win. Wilson, a clerk in the store, but he denied having' taken them. Mr. WilBon then put his hand into the man's pocket and drew forth the kicks. The crowd soon afterward left the store. About an hour after- this Andrew Strong, who had evidently been drinlring, came into the store and ordered Mr. Wilson to leave the county, swearing that If he did not he wo old kill him. The young man informed hira that lie would do so, when he (Strong) left Hie store. About 5 o'clock he - returned, more intoxicated than before, and repeated his command, telling Mr. Wilf on that if he found him there at fi o'clock nest morning he wonid certain
ly kill him. After saying this" Strong turned to leave the store, and as he did so Wilson raised a double-barreled shot gun that was at hand and discharged one barrel at the outlaw, planting sighteen bnckslitit in his neck and head. Strong fell with scarcely a groan, and expired at once. The fall of the outlaw at once spread consternation and dismay throughout the group of his dusky followers, but no attempt was made to interfta-e with Mr. Wilson. Had. Steve Lowery been' there it might have been different, bttt he was absent, and no attempt was made to' rescue ' the body. Rhocla Lowery, the widow of Hecry Berry Lowery, the defunct outlaw leader, and sister to Andrew -Strong, sent in a deputation requesting that the body might be delivered np to her, but thiB was, of course, refused, intelligence j beii g conveyed, at the same time, by Mr. Wilson, that he would shoot tlie ! first man that dared to touch the body. Nevertheless, for fear that rescue might j possibly be attempted, Mr. Wilson and a j number of other gentlemen placed toe i body in a wagon and conveyed it to! Luiaberton, arriving At that town About 2 oclock, a. m. The body was at once surrendered to Sheriff McMillan, - and was yesterday fully identified, whereupon the Sheriff paid over to the fortunate young man $1,000, the reward offered by the county for each of the outlaws, dead or alive. Besides this, $5,000 is to be paid by the State, as the reward offered by the Governor, under authority of the ' Legislature, which can be obtained on . application. I Mr. Wilson is quite a yong man, but '
of much nerve and determination. Bjb-J
is from the western part of the State, and has been clerking at Eureka for some time past. The rewards which he' obtains for tlie killing of tie outlaw yrill amount to quite a small fortune. Enmity Between Swans and Geese. - Touching this enmity between the swans and the geese, it is curious toisee how the long fend varies. Jji the spring the swans are victonons. Hie male pluQges through the water at the geese dirttly they appear, and, single-handed,, sends them all flying' off with screams. Moreover, it will follow them far iashore. hunting them some 200 yards up the common, which pasture retains the name it hod before Inclosure Some two years age, I had. not been home for twelve months. Before I left there had been great contests between the swan and the gander out on the grass, and on arriving in by tho gate st the top of the common on my return after a year's absence, there, they were on tiie same place, poimdingand flapping at one another, as 1 they bad not stopped since I saw them last Nor do I suppose that there hiul been more than a short truce, which generally arrives in the severest part oit the winter. Then all, friends and foes, come up to the house to be fed. la the autumn, the war doeis not cease, though
the tables are'turneKL Then the ganderj
gets a temporary pre-eminence. For a time, the efforts of the swan to drive off the geese grow fainter. He will come plungingjip to the fleet of-.geese, wnicn evade him, and swim further out. Presen ;ly they all set up a warr scream, and the old gander, with his neck as straight aa a ruler, softies out, challenging the swan to single combat. That is accepted. The other day I write in September I saw such a'dueL -The birds laid hold of each other by the throat, and tli ere was a tremendions splashing and pother. The gander drew off after tome three or four minutes of this intimate wrestle. But, ii he follows the precedent ef former yearshe will soon win a victory, as thus : He will get on the span's back, between his wings, and peg away at the nap, of his neck, the swan swimming away furiously all the time, tu til at last Mr. Gander gets off; returns to flock, which set up a monstrous eborus of wjtneing, and congratulates himself on fee first victory of the period in which he remains the master.
