for the puller, witli a bill-nooK or neavy Knite, in his right hand, to grasp and draw the turnip with his left, to strike off" the taproot as soon as it is raised a little above the ground, and then with another quick stroke at the crown, sever the top from the root. This is done with great expedition, by an expert hand. The taproot is acrid, and loaded with earth, and not worth preserving. The tops are gathered into heaps and taken to the yard in carts, daily, for the stock, until they are consumed. An acre will give from five to ten loads of tops. The roots

ligencethan tho writer of the above quotation claims for them. Fellow-citizens do you believe that a candidate, no matter how shrewd and cunning, could

evade answering the question you should propound to him, and still receive j'our vote at the polls! No it is impossible; and whoever pursues such a course by way of electioneering, had better hang up his fiddle and go home. A writer in the Times, of the 4th instant, over the signature of "Truth," is guilty of making statements tli at are not trite; for I defy him to bring

o.ie credible witness, who will state that I have evaded giving an answer to one question that has been asked me on the count) seat question cr the mammoth bill. Nor is it true that I am in favor of the mammoth bill, as stated by "Truth." Now, Mr. Truth, if you should ever see this article, please come out like a man, and let the public know on what authority you made these statements. All who know me, I believe, will do me the justice to state, that I never stopt to inquire, will this, or that be popular, before I would profess faith in it, if I believed it founded in truth; or that I ever made the least attempt to conceal my real opinions, no matter how much nt variance with the popular notions of tlio day. What motive could I have now in acting the part of a hypocrite for I would much rather receive a gentle hint at the ballot box, that my services were not needed at this tune, than to secure my election by unmanly conduct, and therefore justly receive the scorn and contempt of uv fellow-citizens: I am friendly to internal improvements; and look forward with pleasing anticipations to the period when every section of the State shall have facilities for transporting its surplus produce equal to the richness of its soil. All would agree to ttiis, all profess to befriends of internal improvement, but how to accomplish this desideratum, is the lite; one sys this way is right and another that. Indiana should not be sluggish in this matter; the has a great deal at stake, and if she pursues a judicious course she will reap a golden harvest. Home general system of internal improvement should be commenced as soon as tho fate is ripe for it. There are different opinions on this subject some contend that the time has arrived when wc should vommence; others, that the time has not yet arrived. I have no hesitation in stating that it is my opinion that the State might now commence a sys

tem of internal improvement, in such a manner as not to endanger her credit, or be in the least burdensome to the people. This, in my opinion, can never be accomplished by the mammoth bill of the last legislature. It embraced too large a field, more than the State could accomplish; consequently her credit would bo ruined, and in the end there would not be one complete route finished, and tho people made to groan under the weight of their taxes. When an experienced farmer is about to clear up a farm, he sits down and counts up how many fields he needs to make him a complete farm; this done,

he then ascertains which field he stands in the greatest need of at the present time: that is, which will yield the greatest profit. When this is ascertained he lays on with might and main until it is finished. Then ho takes the same subject into consideration ngain, in relation to the next field to clear and so on till all is done. Now, if he had commenced some fifteen or twenty fields at one and the same time, he would never have accomplished any thing; for the

profits of the first field helped to clear the next, a

so on to the last. It is my opinion that it is the true policy of the State to pursue the above method in making internal improvements; for if she should loan four or five millions of dollars and distribute it among a dozen or sixteen routes, not one would be finished when the money was expended, and she would be obliged aain and again to resort to the rich capitalists, before she would receive one cent income; and then,

when these different routes were finished, probably,

not half of them would pay the interest of the money they cost.

IF there is no other method ot procuring

friends to internal improvement, in the legislature, other than to give each member a rail road or canal

by his door, as the plan run last winter, I would, if

Honored with a seat in the next legislature, go

uainst. all such arrangements.

As regards the county seat, I am of the opinion that tho excitement which has so long agitated the

peop eon this subject, can never be allayed till the people have justice W them by niacin- it at the centre ot the county. FeHow-citizenssuuer me in conclusion to state, that I have made there remarks without spendin-r one thougot as to what would be popular. If thev suit you I am satisfied; if ihey do not, I shall hear from you at the ballot box. ours, &:c JAMES 1. M1LLIKEX. July ICth, 1835.

For the Palladium. Messrs. Editors The object of this communication is simply to explain to the voters of Dearborn how matters stand in relation to my removal to Henry rmintv. An pvnlanation seems due, not only to my-

:ht wave their inquiries, and still I self, but to the people; for I am daily interrogated s; but I feel happy to state that 1 upon the subject. At this busy season of the year

I cannot well mm time to ihuku il m fisuu, uhu hence it is that I ask the indulgence cf doing so

threugh the medium of your paper. The matter m question stand ; thus: last summer I purchased a farm in Henry county, in this State, and expected

to have sold tho one I now occupy in time to have removed last fall. I was truly anxious to do so, but did not succeed. I continued my exertion to sell through the winter and early part of the spring with no better success. I then rented my new farm and resolved to give myself no farther anxiety about it.

If at any time a fair oher should be made to me l would accept, if not I would remain where I am;

and thus it now stands. I wish to sell, but see no prospect at present. I may never remove, and I may in a few years. Here is a fair explanation and I need only say, that should the people see proper to elect me, I will accept, and to the utmost of my humble abilities, and in tho honest integrity of my heart, alike unbiased by religious, political, local or personal excitement, endeavor to render "equal and exact justice" to all. Should I sell sooner than what I anticipate, 1 will so arrange the business that no inconvenience shall b realised to the people on that account. 1 view the office to be one of great responsibility, and that learning, experience, virtue and talents a sound, unbiased and independent judgment should be the shield and buckler of him whose duty it shall be to judge between contending man and man. And honestly, though I may say without vanity, that I have at least, some knowledge of men and things, and have perused the statute book not a little; yet I feel my incompetency. Should the people view others, or another, better qualified than my humble self, it will be their duty to proclaim it at the ballot box, and not a murmur shall escape my lips. In conclusion, I know that I have many valuable friends, not only in the upper, but in the lower end of this county, the centre not excepted, and would fain hope that, at least, so far as it relates to the judgeship, the local question will be lost sight of, and the result made to depend upon merit and qualification. I never have nor do I now aspire to office on any other principle. It now remains for the sovereigns to decide having explained, I shall calmly await tho result, and as calmly submit for when the great responsibility of the office is taken into the account there is little left to inspire anxiety upon the subject.

Raisinsr Ducks and Turkeys. In the Agricul

turist of last year, appeared X? articles, one- on the

best mode of raising ducks and the other, on tur

has come under his knowledge, tney nave oeen attended with perfect success. The directions for raising duck3, were to feed them on animal food and keen them drv. Individuals who have adoptedthis

ducks of the finest kinds, and they have had no disease among them, and no difficulty in raising them. Two or three individuals who tried the experiment nf drivinor their turkevs, when young,-to a dis

insects were to be found and feeding ana Housing them in the manner directed in the Agriculturist, have stated that they have raised from 100 to 300 turkeys, and have pronounced it to be a method, which of all others, they believed be-t calculated to be attended with success.

From the (Albany) Caultivater. The Turnip Culture, unquestionably rapidly increasing among us. There will probably be quadruple the quantity grown this year, in the northern and western parts of the state, that were ever before produced in a season. We entertain this opinion from the unusual quantity of seed which ha3 been sold at the seed shops. This augurs well; for we are satisfied from fifteen years experience, that there aru few crops that make more than this for the interest of tho farmer. As but few persons

among us have as yet had experience in the culture of this root, wc subjoin some brief directions, founded upon our personal experience, in particular re

ference to the ruta baga crop.

Bees and Bcc-IIouscs. Tho use of houses for bees, we believe, is of modern dale. Sorno three or four winters ago, in travelling in Otsego county we were shown the first bee-house wo ever saw or heard of. One was four, and another six feet square, and six or seven feet high, made perfectly

tiohf , wilh a good floor, and.witn a door lor occasion-

aKSntrance. One had been tenanted two summers, and contained probably about 200 lbs. honey. The other had been occupied but a season, and contains loss honey. Neither had sent out a new swarm. Wc were so pleased wilh this management, that immediately on reaching home we had a Bcc-house built, and in June following intrudced into it a swarm of bees the clay they left the parent hive. They filled the hive in which they were introduced, but no more, and the next year sent out two swarms. In the mean time we made a bee-house, or bee-room, in our garret, adjoining the eastern brick gable end, filled the interior for ihe reception of a hive, and opened an aperture through the wall at the point pirallel witli that where the bottom of the hive would stand. The first swarm lhat come forth were placed in it. They not only filled the hive, but nearly covered it with comb and honey the first season. We have taken from their stores a considerable quantity of honey for our table, always dilicatcly while and fine, which has been more than made good the following summer. Tho quantity of honey in the room must now amount to nearly 2001bs. No interruption to their labors has been apparent, nor have they sent out in the three summers any new swarm. We built another bee room in the garret last summer, and put therein a fine swarm of bees. They promised to do equally well with the first. A bee-moth has been occasionally seen in the garret, and one in the bee-house, "but not the least indication of their web or larvaj about the hive or honey. It has been said, that where there are n number ofhives, tli3 bee-moth concentrate in one hive, and leave the others undisturbed. This has been in a manner verified by our observation during the two last years; for we have, in both years, found one hive almost literally filled with the worm, butterfly

and web, which wc immediately consigned, hive, honey and all, to the flames; but have not found a moth, or the signs cf one, in other hives from which we have taken honey. Though it is well to remark, that the honey has been uniformly taken from tho uppermost of a double hive, without destroying the bees, which were driven into the lower apartment.

"Like every other part of the farmer's business, the dairy requires attention: the cows must have a constant supply of nutritive food and pure water, and salt occasionally; the dairy room should be clean and sweet, and used exclusively for that purpose; tho pans and other utensils should be carefully scalded, and neatness and order should pervade the whole department. "Although lha dairy is compiratively profitable, and although its products are a component part in so many of the comforts and luxuries of the table, there are some farmers of our acquaintance who

have been obliged to abandon it, alliiogeiner, or iu conduct it on a smaller scale, on account of the difficulty of obtaining skilful and experienced dairy

ndisDensable to the comfort and happiness ot ihe

community. An English writer, more noted than esteemed, but who on some subjects is good authority, in his Cottage Economy, observes: "I must hear a great deal more than I ever have heard, to convince me that teaching children polite accomplishments tends so much to their happiness, iheir independence of spirit, their manliness of character, as teaching them to labor. The person that is in want, must be a slave, and to be habituated to labor cheerfully, is the only means of preventing nine-teen-twentieths from being in want." It was the benevolent wish of a kind hearted monarch of France, that every peasint in has dominions might have a fowl for his Sunday dinner: hotv much more substantial the boon if family might be blessed with the possession of that most useful animal, the cow, which supplies food not for Sunday only, but for every day and every meal. And this possession is within the reach of almost every town in this country. If the practice of keeping cows were adopted by all those who have the ability, much might be added to domestic comfort, and there would soon be no further complaint of the difiiculty of obtaining competent managers of the dairy. Besides the generous contributions of the cow to supply the wants of the family, the children may all learn to milk, and the females will learn to take care of it; they will know the value of such animals, will feed thera carefully and treat them gently." From the Pennsylvanian. A YOUNG GIRL CLAIMED FOR A SLAVE. A case was before one of our courts a day or two since, which excited some interest. A young girl, to appearance almo? white, was brought before Jude Randill, o answer a claim made by a citi-

zen of Baltimore. As the court was occupied with other business, this case was postponed un

til 29th inst. in order that a full hearing and a clear

investigation may be give to it. as tne sun is

still pending, it will only be proper to state gener-

ally the grounds ot the claim, and ot the defence, j The claimant alleges that he formerly owned i amullatto woman, who about the year 181G gave birth to a female child; that the father of the child was a white man. The mother rrtid daughter remained in his family until the year 1821, at which time he manumitted ihe former, but still kept the child, who had grown up with his own children, and had become a great pet in his family. In the year 1825, about a year and a half after the liberation of the mother, the child ran away from him, or as he suspected was stolen by its mother, who disappeared

from Baltimore about the same time, a newspaper was produced, containing an advertisement, offer-

inrr nuvsnl fiir the recovery of the child. It was

dated August 1S25, and said the child was about

nine vears old. He however received no tidings

of either mother or daughter, until a short time

since, when a black woman came lo him ana ?n-

ininc a long time, she naked her if the wanted a

littln mrl to take care of. Having no children ot

their own, Gilmoro and his wifo agreed to lake tho child and bring it up; he however hesitated about it at first, thinking the child was white; but tho woman who brought it assured him that it wa3 a very light mulatto, and not entirely while. She came lo his house but once again, about 2 months after leaving the child; since when he Ins neither seen nor heard of her. The woman had much conversation with his wife, which he did not hear, and which his wife never repealed to him; and if his wife knew the history of the child from tho woman, and knew who were its parents, she kept it quietly to herself, and never told her husband, who Ins always been in ignorance upon the subject. jlr3. Gilmore is now dead; Gilmore, however, soon became fond of the child, and determined to adopt it as his own, and at his death to leave to it the earnings of his life. lie has, accordingly, carefully brought it up, and has given it the best education and religious instructions he could

obtain. He has been a kind tamer, ana sue una been an affectionate and dutiful daughter. Such

is his slorv of her history since 1S20, when be first I T f . 1 L. j I i - ill rr i rf r"t n h" I ho

same child lost by the claimant in 1S25, since the

claimant states that the lost cinia remameu m ma

family until it was nine years old; whereas Uilmoro

swears that his child has been constantly with bun

ince 1S20, when it was about two or three years

old. To support his delence ot me ciaim, lie uaa numerous respectable witnesses, who swear that when thev first saw the child at his house, it was

but about three years old, and they all recollect

to have seen it there long previous to 1&2d. lie

dso savs that the black woman who informed

claimant about the child, was actuated by a malicious spite; that she was a relation of his wife, and

when his wife died, the woman claimed some ot

her cloihes, which were refused by Gilmore; this led to a quarrel between them, and a determination on the part of the woman to annoy him. He therefore declares that the woman ought not to be believed; for she well knows that she has deceived claimant as to the identity of the two children. The case is one that turns entirely upon the credibility of witnesses, the court must decide. The court has also to judge how far a person may be able to identify the features of another, after a lapse often years: particularly at a time of life when

the whole appearance of a person alters, viz. from nine years of age to nineteen; for such would be the age of the girl according to the statement of the claimant. The case has become very generally known, and talked about the city, and excited the sympathies of many persons. The modest appearance of the girl created universal interest, and the fairness of her complexion, induced many to doubt whether she was not entirely white. Many persons who saw her in court declared that they would never have taken her for a mulatto. She has long glossy black hair, and her eyes are remarkably dark and brilliant. To avoid causing any excitement upon the subject, andthatjthe case may be fairly argued, we have endeavored to state both sides justly and impartially. When we add that David Paul Brown will conduct the defence of the girl, all will feel assured that her case is in good hands. The Sunderbunds This wild extends a hundred and eighty miles along the Bay of Bengal, and 13 filled with tigers and alligators of the largest kind, together with other creatures of similar power and ferocity. There are two passages through it, the Sunderbund passage, and the Bdliaghant passage. Tho first open3 into the Hoogly, G5 miles below Calcutta, the other into a shallow lake on the eastern side of the city. The navigation of theso channels extends more than 200 miles through an impenetrable jungle, divided by creeks occasionally so narrow lhat in some place, branches of trees almost meet on either side, and in others you sail upon an expanded river beautifully skirted with wood. Alligators innumerable are seen sleeping along the shore, looking like huge trunks of trees. It is scarcely possible lo imagine them to be alive until they are disturbed, when they scramble with suprising activity into the stream and sink. Great numbers of natives who frequent the banks of the creeks that diviJe"the Sunderbunds, to cut wood and collect salt, are yearly devoured by ihese and other beast3 of prey; indeed, the tigers are so ravenous that they have been known to swim off to

boats and attack the crews at a considerable distance from the shore.

Notwithstanding these perils many devotees

erect their rude liuls in this region ot desolation. In spite of the charms which they pretend to, and

possess, and their propitiary offerings to the tigers and alligators, these ignorant fanatics are almost

invariably destroyed by them; still other fanatics

supply their places: thus the wild savages of tho

forest are yearly supplied with no inconsiderable portion of sacred food. It is astonishing to what

lengths fanaticism will go.

but upon grounds under previous tillage, and to cor

rect a wet soil, or economise manure, it is often the

preferable mode.
