23rl Congress.. ..1st Session. REMARKS OF the ZZ027. Jonrr caxir, OF INDIANA,

Delivered in. the House of Representatives, on Saturday, April "th, Upon hi3 presenting an amendment to the tenth section of a Bill reported by the committee on claims, to provide for the payment of claims for property lost, captured, or destroyed by the enemy, while in the military service of the United States, during the late war with Great Britain, and the Indian" wars subsequent thereto, and for other purposes. The 10th section of the bill as reported by the committee to the House provides: "That any officer, field or staff, volunteer, ranger, cavalry, or other persons engaged in the campaign of eighteen hundred and eighteen, against the Seminole Indians, or against any other Indians in the time of war, siuce, who have sustained damage without any fault or negligence on their part respectively, by the loss of a horse or necessary equipage in battle, or by the loss of a horse that was wounded in battle, and afterwards died of said wound while in the service." Mr. Caur proposed to amend that part of the 10th section above referred to, and cause it to read as follows: "That any officer, field or staff, volunteer, ranger, cavalry, or other persons engaged in the campaign of eighteen hundred and eleven, on the Wabash, against the Indians, or agaiust any other Indians in tune of war, since, including the campaign of eighteen hundred and eighteen, against the Seminole

Indians, and also the six companies organized by vir

Clark with seven days provisions, and arrived at 1 ramain these should make the greater portion of

Vincennes on the seventeenth day after their depar

ture, subsisting on fall grapes and hazlenuts for the greater part of the days; that their march was much impeded in consequence of high waters; their horses having been without forage for several months, worn down with fatigue and starvation, several of them perished, and were wholly lost to their owners. Mr. Carr said that these Rangers were stationed most of their time in which they were in the service of their country, at places distant from any settlement where forage could be had. That although the strictest care was observed to keep secure their horses, yet a number of them were either stolen by the Indians or otherwise lost, without any fault or negligence on the part of the owners. Mr. C. said he thought that it was doing nothing more than justice demanded to pay those individuals who served as rangers in the late war, as well as those who served in the six Companies organized in the year one thousand, eight hundred and thirty-two, for the protection of the North western frontier, for their horses which were stolen by the Indians, died in the service, or were otherwise lost by unavoidable accident, without any fault or negligence on the part of the owner. It was for losses of this character, this amendment proposed to provide. He said that it was not on account of lucre or gain in a pecuniary point of view, which influenced many of these individuals to leave their homes and their families, and volunteer in the service of their country. He said he thought that he was tolerably well acquainted as to the extent of the claims which would be presented if the amendment which he had proposed, were adopted, and was of the opinion, that a few thousand dollars would liquidate the whole of them; that although the sum required

to do this, would be small and not felt by the Uov

Sen., an experienced farmer, nearChillicothe, who had probably fifty or one hundred of the Rockramainsin his orchard; from these he had, that year of scarcity, plenty of apples. He informed us that they sentfiom the seat of government to him for fruit. Ho stated he should be glad he had no other kind in the orchard, except a fewtrees for passing use. A short time since, we saw in the neighborhood of Hillsborough, Ohio, n kind of fruit called the "Never Fail," from the fact that tho trees were annual bearers. On examination we found them in

tee.

Mr. Carr said the reasons which had influenced him to ask the adoption of the amendment which he proposed, were, that upon examining the hill, he had Keen what he considered an omission in the bill, in not providing for the payment of property lost by a very meritorious portion of our troops, who performed military service previous to the declaration of the late war; during the war, and subsequent to the close to the late war with Great Britain. It should be recollected that the campaign on the Wabash, in the year 1811, was performed previous to the declaration of the late war. That the amendment which he proposed, provides for the payment of property lost by individuals on that memorable campaign, which he believed has not heretofore been provided for by law. Mr. Caru said it was true, that a law . had passed, he believed in the year 1S12, which pro- . vided for the payment of horses killed in the battle of Tippecanoe, in November, 1811, but did not provide for the payment of property lost by individuals at other periods during that campaign, while in the

service of their countrv.

hundred and twenty-seven. 1 hat act provided tor the payment of any horse, mule, &c. lost while in the military service of the United States, where it shall appear that the loss was without any fault or negligence on the part of the owner, and extended to cases of property lost in the wars with the Indian Tribes, subsequent to the 18th of February, and prior to the 1st of September, 1815. Mr. Carr said he could not discover the reason why those individuals who had sustained loss of property on the campaign upon the "Wabash, in the year 1811, should not be as fully and amply provided fbrasto their losses, as those who had sustained losses of property at any period during the late war, and subsequent thereto. He believed that the services of those on the campaign in 1311, were as essential, and their achievements as beneficial to the security of the Western frontier

. against a savage foe, as were the services of anyr portion of the troops in the late war. Mr. C. said, he believed that their services had been recognized by the Government; that those who had received wounds in the battle of Tippecanoe, were entitled to receive pensions in proportion to their disabilities; and that the widows and orphans of those who fell in the battle, were provided for in like manner with those who fell in battle during the late war. Mr. Carr said his amendment also provided for . the payment of losses sustained by sundry individuals, who had belonged and performed service in certain companies of mounted Hangers, which had been organized by laws of Congress, passed during the war, and subsequent thereto, for the protection of the frontier, he said that those companies to which he al

luded, who had performed service in the late war, were composed mainly of citizens of the then territories of Illinois, Missouri and Indiana; that these troops furnished their own horses and subsistence for them; they also furnished their own provisions, their own ammunition, and all necessary equipage; and

since which time, I have seen many cii

that have confirmed my opinion. A gentleman in Hartford purchased a farm in the vicinity, on which was a large pear orchard, which had long been in bearing; the ground was covered with green sward which had been pastured for many years. The trees were in good health. He ploughed a part of it, and put it in a high state of cultivation. The trees grew very rapid, were attacked, as the others above mentioned, and some of them entirely destroyed, while those w hich were in that part which remained in grass were entirely free. In the garden where I am now, there are twelve large pear trees of different sorts, which, when 1 came here five years since, were in good health. The garden was in a neglected state, the soil was

worn out. I put it in a high state of cultivation

the trees grew rapidly, and were all attacked with the blights, and I was obliged to take the rich earth away from them, and replace it with poor soil, which saved them all with the loss of a few limbs, and they are now doing well. From the above, it will be seen that the cause is a sudden change from a stinted to a rapid growth, and the sap vessels not being as clastic as in other trees, burst and destroy the tree, but may be easily prevented by care being taken, not to increase tho growth too rapidly. Other trees are affected in a degree in the same manner. The quince is liable next to the pear. NATHAN RUGGLES. New-Haven, (Ct.) Feb. ST, 183-1.

I shall now conclude, by giving you for further

consideration, a few excellent observations, from a wiser head, perhaps than my own, and hope that every brother farmer will do likewise. "i often say to myself, what a pity it 13 our farmers do not work it right. When 1 sec a man turn his cattle into the road to run at large, and waste their manure during a winter's day, I say that man does not work it right. Ten loada of good manure, at least, is lost in the season, by this slovenly practice and all for what? For nothing indeed but to ruin his farm. So when I see cattle late in the fall and early in the spring, rambling in a meadow or mowing field, pounding the soil and breaking the grass roots, 1 say to myself, this man does not work it right. So when 1 see a barn-yard with a drain to it, I say this man does not work it right, for how easy it is to make a yard hollow, or lowest in tho middle, to receive the moisture and all the wash of the sides, which will thus be kept dry for the cattle. The wash

and moisture of the yard mixed with any kind of j

earth or putrid straw, is excellent manure, yet how much do our farmers lose by neglecting those things, in fact they do not work it right. "When I see a farmer, often going to a retailer's store, with a bottle or jug, or lounging about a tavern, or wrangling about politics, or quarrelling and defaming his neighbor's good name, I am certain

dentman who knew how it went, informed Hogarth he must have a bargain before hand. The subject chosen was the passage of the Red Sea by the Isrealites, and the host of Pharoah in pursuit.

"Gadso! already?'' cried the tory, spectacles in hand "must sec it. Will never buy a pig in a poke; must seo tho goods!" and waddled along, preceded by the painter, to inspect the labors

of genius. When arrived upon tho stairs he observed a broad belt of red, extending along tho wall, about midway between the ceiling and the stairs, which the artist had laid on in a short order, with a common house painter's brush.
