'jl THE SWAMP LANDS. We have seen, iu the Auditor's office, circular signed by the Governor and State ofTurs, ia relation to the Swamp Lmd. which h.s excited the tu prise ol our ex-members of the L-.gis'aiure and other prominent citizens who have seen it; und will we fear work injury unles mo Jifieil. On the 14th of Febrtr.rj 1331. Congress donated to the variiiis Stiles the Swam i au I Overflowed Luids within their bir lers, which rem lined unsold, on one cor. it'.iou; an X tint was, that the S'.ates a't.iuiJ drai.i au t ditch them; the intent being lo convert them from manufactories ot miasm i to cultivated au I productive lau Is. And, on the 2d h of Miy 1S5J. our State Legislature passed a law ujuii the suijct, entitled "an act to regulate t.n sile of the. Svamp Liu Is donated by tit ; United States to the St ile of In li jut. and to provite for the drain lug an 1 reclaiming thereof, in accordance wUh the condition of the grant." Tuns recognizing theuuiy devmved upon them, and accepting the prallt, with ine conditions which accompui ed it. The circular, to which we allude. U dated on the Dili iusl: und though signed by the highest o like is of State, we doubt their power to ulier the requirements of the Lw, which is nu'v in lon e. Their greatest autlurity seems to us t be advisorv, not man latorv; for 'he officers in each county, charged with the sate and reclamation ol the Swamp Luids, are required to take an oath faithfully tu execute the law. The circular states: 2." The money arising from ihe public Sales of any of i he Swamp Luids, or by private entry after such pub;io sale, Srst deducting the necessiry incidental rxpenses and fees of officers, are to be applied to reclaiming all such laud by ditching, dyking. cr. The funds thus accruing can be applied lo tno?e lauds oify that are sold at the time, and not to lands remaining unsold.'' A mumeut's reflection n ill convince any person that tins riquirement will, in mmy cases, absolutely prevent the draining required both by Congress an I the Legislature. The 2Qih lo the 24th s-ctioiij of ihe act allu led to (se pge 471. 1st Vol. ltrvis-d Statutes) requires the Swamp Lin t Commission r, with an Engineer, to adopt sunn broad and com I'reheusive plan of "draining au I reclaimins the SiVtfinp lands Ijing within the bounds of bis county." He is not restricted to draining such only as are sold, but the only limitation there is in the Lw is. by inference, directly adverse tu the circulir. It is in the 25th section, und requires that there shall be enough Swamp Luids sold previously within the county lo p.y ih- expense ot IÜ3 pln ol". .1 : . ... .. i . i .. i. : . I uraiuage. micm ing piaiuiy ritougu it was not intended to rtsiiict the drains merely to ihe tracts sold. If nougi tracts were sol 1 to pay for draining all the B vamp lauds of the Ciuuty. the plain letter of the law, as well as his oath, requires him to go ahead and do it. What elb'e does the 2 1st section mean, when it compels him to examine all the swamp lauds within bis county, estimate the length, b ea Ith and deptn of the necessary ditches the height, width and length of the dykes or levees and to "let the vrork" to the lowest responsible bidder, if within the estim ites, and if there is money sufficient to do il? Wrid eLe does the 33th section mean, when it requires liini even to carry Ins drains across pri vate land if necessary, and to py reasonable daimges. or even to continue them into adjicent Counties where thtre are no swamp lands at all? Sjpposi, at the sile in July, as is very probible, an 80 acre tract adjicent to the Kankakee my sell, and the very next 1 Vils .o fin 1 a bidder. Ij the drain to stopat the unsold tract, when it viust cross over it to b- of any value to the tract that is sold? Its continuation would doubtless cause th unsold trict to find i purchaser afterwards; and thus 6well h- bilaiiceof the funds, which are ulti.tcly to jjn!:?tc the School '.in'.li. Vn-

der the strict requirem-nts of the Circu!.ir. the object (I the Congre ssional grant and of thi Legislative enactment will inevitably be overruled to a jreat decree. And we hope, that on reflection, the State officers will modify their instiuction. Fully three quarters of the munificent grant of one an I a quarter millions of acresof Swamp Lin ts lies in this Luid District; and it is of great i tnporlanee to the Leal til ot this part of the State as well as to its prosperity an I improvement, that draining, if done at all, should be done thoroughly and completely. We differ with the Stale officers on another point. They contend iu the circu

lar, that the money paid into the State gress which proved afterwards to be s-.vamp la tttls. have not been appropriated by taw to the Counties interested, and can therefore only be upplinl to the payment of incidental expenses of selecting the Liuds by tlnj Stale, miking tract (ink? ,ns The 47th s-ctiou ol ; t Swamp L.ud law expressly spe.ks of ! ihrse fu mis a to be cotistdered lor all purposes of payment for the lands to be the same "as if the money had been paid into the offLe of the County Treasurer." And the 2ü h se tiou states that monies pa'nl into the State Treasurer's office Irom thrt tliiferent Counties fur the sJe of swamp la..ds ' sh ill bi used to pay for ditching, itee. It has come from these Counties, through the government olli cers. into the State Treasury it is part of the assets ol ihese Cuii;ies for that purpose it is considered the same: as il paid in at tint public sale, for all purposes of payment. Why not then the same for the purpose ot use to assist in carrying out the condition? of the graiu and the intentions of the law? As this county h is oer fifteen h uudred dollars iu the State Treasury, thus paid iu. it is a matter of no minor importance to it. We have reviewed this circular iu the kindliest spirit, with no desire to wound the feeling or to impugn the motives ol its authors; but to draw their atteulion to what is considered in this part of the Stute its incorrect requirem-nts.

The prospects of au abundant fruit crop throughout must of thi Iruit growing regions of this country, have scarcely ever been belter, according lo the best information we can obtain, than they ate the present season. The winter was of more than an average mildness; and the spring, though early, has hern cool, without any violent changes likely to tflVct the fruit buds. At the present moment (May llsh) Pencils, Cherries, and Pears, s tow a remarkable profusion of bl issoms. The temperature is lower than we could wish it lo be, and for several nights there has been here a light frost, but owing to the dryness of the atmosphere, il has not. as far as we are able to judge, done any serious injury. Ever) tiling looks promising. Last season the crop was very lig'il gt-iirraily in many localities a total failure; und l h is will contribute muih to the t buiid-mce ul this season's crop. Now we wi.h lo ofiVr a few hints iu regard to certain precautions, which the circumstances call lor; that is, provided the crop w ill be as heavy as ws have reason lo anticipate. It is very well known that in favorable season, after a failure especially, trees bear too much, it is very common to see litem so looled with fruit as not only lo cease growing entirely, but to bend nd break under its weight. This should be guarded agaust. Trees re in a inullituttt of cases enfeeoled. brokeu. c intract diseases, and are, iu short, ruined by excessive bearing; and evey man 'vho appreciates the value of a full grown hearing fruit iree, worth from $100 tu SöUÜ ms the case may be. should guard against such a result us he would his ox or 'tis horse against excessive labor that would be ceitaiti to injure or kill them. Trees, like animals, have constitutions that can, by proper treatment, be kept sound for a great length of lime, or by neglect, or bad treatment, broken down. Our opinion is that the feeble, diseased, and short-lived condition of the peach Iree in New Jersey is due, iu a great measure, to a greedy or careless system of over-cropping. We know how races of men and horses degenerate, from hard labor and bad treatment how they dwindle down iu size, loose their proportion, symmetry aui intelligence in short, wear out, to use a very common but expressive term. Trees "wear oui," too. llow many we luve all seen that iu theii youth, evjii before they had arrived at a full bearing age and size, began to look old the brauche twisted and knarly. the bark rough and mossv an lall covtred with small, feeble, ill formed bil ls ami fruit spurs, loaded perhaps with small voithless fruit, not worth picking up. Now th -sä who dsiie to guard their trees ag.inst wearing out. must not be too greedy of a great crop. They must mister that nitural reluctance we. all fell to pick off a portion of the fruit. They nutd thin .h :it s as to leave them

evenly distributed over the tree, and only so many as can be brought to full and

perfec t maturity without injury or death to the tree. But we shall be asked "llow are we to know how many we ought to leave or how miny we are to take1?" Well, we confess it lakes some little skill an I experience, to thin a crop judiciously, but he who goes at it in earnest will tin I some indications to aid him. It will not do to thin iu all cases alike, because the vigorous tree, in a generous soil, will carry a large crop without in jury, and one thai would be almost cerlain death to a delicate or feeble tree having limited resources in the way of food, just as a healthy, robust, well fed man can perforin a day's work with ease j i Ii i a weakly, ill fed m ill dare not at- , tempt. The rowth of a tree, the ap pearance of its foliage, the Irtigth and thickness of its youiu shoots, altord very reliable guide as to the vigor of a tree and its ability to bear a heavy crop. Some varieties are naturally moderate and constant bearers, and if kept under good culture might never require thinning, while others bear enormously some years, the fruit actually covering every part of the tree, and requiring pros and supports to keep it from bring torn to pieces. Such trees cannot bear so iu successive years, nor can they long renn in healthy. Then hesile thinning the fiuits. good culture must be given iu their fruitful years, and top-dressius of composts iu a well decayed state. Lrardru trees uny have liquid manure and mulching instead of top-dressing. Sudicareas this, not costing much, will not only sustain the vigor and health of trees, but projduce hrge, hau .some, marketable fruits. When a tree is loaded to breaking down, oue-hal f or ihree-fuurths of the fruit is worthless, and all the advantage of a large crop is lost. We consider this subject of much importance to the fruit grower. We kuow by ample experience that il is. ve crop our own trees heavily, perhaps too heavily; but every season we have to perform a thinning process, and we should con sider tlie neglect of it nothing less than the wilful d-istruclion of our trees.

It is a "pony" to be used in construction, was built at the Boston Locomotive Works is a fine specimen of Yankee mechanism, and bears the somewhat euphoneous cog nomen of the Svviuette." It has already b en put into active use iu construction, and we indulge the pleasurable anticipation cf hearing its 'squeal reverberating among t:.e Blue River hills during the in nith of October. As much inquiry has already teen made and much more will arise as the owinette" "works its way" out West, in reference to the origin and meaning ot this Miigular name, and of the "picture" accompanying it, we may as well tell the story, at risk of losing much of the interest thai inihl attach lo it iu other bauds. Something more than a year ago, w hen the President of our Railroad w ho is a genuine lloosier "to the manor born," made Lis first trip E ist," he was accompanied by another Uailroad President, hailing from Porkopolis, noted for his black eyes and fun loving disposition, not less than for his estimable qualities as a gentleman and an excellent business man. On a trip from New York lo.i'.osIon with a large, party of Railroad men, to examine and purchase Locomotives and machinery, our Cincinnati friend indulged in a gO'.d many fine stories at the expense of ihe lloosies. iu not a few of which our President figured, ridicoulousI j enough, as the hero, to the great amuse ment of the party. But who ever knew a lloosier beat at the gmne of telling a good story or giving it a proper application. So. afier his friends "had held up1 a little, our President asked the party if they were acquainted with the musical instrument called "The Switiette." Of course they were not; had never heard ol it. and being gentlemen of refinement and taste in such matter?, were anxious to hear it described. Foremost in this anxiety was the Cincinnati President, who, of course would "bristle up" at the first mention of anything bearing the name of swine. Our friend was much astonished that none of the party bad ever heard of the instrument, ami especially that his Cincinnati friend should be ig norant of so important an invention me that had originated iu his own i iiy. ; and war" now extensively in use among ! the "unner tens" of that Western Me-

Sometimes there are particular situations iu life, with which is associated considerable responsibility, ami more than every one is willing to assume. But there are some kinds of responsibilities that must be taken, notwithstanding all objections. Trie ladies have lately come out strong for woman'." rights, still souie of them dread the responsibility attending success. Miss Lu cy A. Simons writes to Mrs. Amrlii Bloomer, on matters and things about "woniens rights." and says. "Some almost doubl the propriety of worrnn's til.ing tlie responsibiliijT' On this, au exchange says: They must be qu'er c.eatures. indeed, who doub the propriety of woman's performing thai great duty! If a worn in has a "respond bility ' who should "take" il if she should not! Is it not her peculiar province, nol only "take" it, but to hId it. tend it, wash it, dress it nnrsti it, rock it, troi it on her knees, See? It is the duty id' Miss Simons to expose ihe unnatural mortals she alludes to, and we iruit she wi.l do .o. Mrs. Swiss'ielm, a strenuous advocate for women's rights, it seems has "taken he responsibility," and we understand she is taking very good rare of it too. Ladies ma) do as she has done. It is much better tkinji such a responsibility, than spouting iu the hills of C nigress, or lead ing armies to the fwld. It is this latter class that Miss Simons ought to expose as "uunitural mortals." They arc the ones who "doubt the propriety of womaiis tr.king the responsibility" that belongs to her. There are some strange women as well as strange men in the world.? A.nl we take thi resposibility of -in so. From the Toledo Clade. BUSSIA AND TURKEY. Ever since Koysuth and his compatriots found an asylum iu Turkey, Ilussia has been seeking for a cause to declare war against her. This was only avoided while the Hungarian leader was at Bruns sa. by the judic ious deplomai y and tactics of England. She sent Sir Stratford Cuming with a fleet into the Archipelago under positive orders to protect the Sul tan. Russia was not prepared for war! with England, which she foresaw must cut nffhei commerce with the rest of the world, and blockade her ports ou the Baltic and Etixiue, Since Kossuth left, quiet has reigned between the two countries, until the breaking out a short time ago, of a dispute between the Groek and Latin churches, respecting the possession of the Holy S-pulhre. Tne Russian government, with ihe design, probably, of stirring up hostilities, under a pretence of an interest in ihe controversy, his manifested a design to establish a protectorate over the Greek Ctirintm is in Turkey. To all outward appearance war is threatened, as the co .sequence of a refusal by the Sultan to recocniZ' lb" authority thus airo-

the principles of absolutism. Such an event would in effect, make the Porte a

dependency upon Russia, and extinguish for many years, if not forever, all hope of a successful outbreak among the liberals 1 of any of the nations which has been , crushed by Russia and Austria. Both of these nations fear, m case of a rebellion, . in a second edition of the policy adopted by Turkey iu the case of the Hungarian exiles. England has sent Lord Stratford to Constantinople, and the proj-ct of a , tri pit- alliance is given up. Russia quails before the combined opposition of Englaud and France.

Austria and Ilussia j most be brought low, and this can be t f I ! f ted more certainly, as well as more I satisfactorily, by the power of diploma cy and of an enlightened public opinion. They are both the holders of ill-gotten gains. Poland and Hungary are t rongfully theirs. Tlie civilized world will never be satisfied until they are free, and a few more abortive attempts to protect absolutism, as the one we have described will free them. England is properly the key of European liberty. Her flit is law. She is the natural ally of oppressed nations. She Ins realized in a few silent but unequivocal movements, which she has made iu this controversy between Russia and Turkey, the full nature and extent of the power she can always exercise over the strongest despotisms of Europe. Russia fears her, so does Austria. Eiilauo needs no ether authority than her own good right arm. to liberate the oppressed nations of Poland and Hungary; but if she did, she knows full well where to look foi aid and support. While we admire th caution of English diplomacy ive cannot btit hope for something to occur, to pro voke her to a more decisive course of pol icy. than any she has yet pursued. Ii U no fault of hers, as all may discover, who will exunine ihe different stages of de-Telopni-nt. in the controversy between Russia and Turkey. DESPERATE ATTACK ON FATHER GAVAZZI AT QUEBECK. Qukrlc. May 8. 1853. Father Gavazzi delivered his second lecliire here last night at the Free Church. In the course of his remarks, happening to say th-it the inquisition was extended to Ireland by the agency of Ribbonism. mui in ihe body of the church exclaimed 'That's a lie." This appeared to be a signal for a larj;e priy of rowdies which was gathered outside, the Church. A shower of stones first came rattling thro' the windows, ami then au infuriated crowd armed with sticks and stones rushed into the Church and attacked Gavazzi in the pulpit, trying to pull him out. The lecturer defended himself with great coolness and courage, knocking down several of his assailants, first with a chair, and afterwards, w hen deprived of that, with the puipit bench which he tore up for thai purpose. He was at length thrown from ihe pulpit by one of the assailants, who got hold of his leg and pitched him over. A further struggle ensued on ihe ßoor underneath, heu the lecturer was finally rescued by his friends. Gavazzi's Secretary was also badly beaten, and will probably die of his wounds. Several Ladies and gentlemen of the audince were likewise injured. A party of soldiers were detatched to the scene, and on arriving quelled the ' disturbance and cleared the house. The mob afterwards went to ihe Parliament House, and called for a m mber , named Brown, w ho has made himself obnoxious to the Catholics, and after menacing him with their vengeance, left for the Lower Town. A late account informs us that the 6ecreiary oi utviizzi is inougui to oeoui oi danger. The Padre was not seiiously injured. Jone 8 P. M. Father Gavazzi left here quietly to-night. There was some appearance last night of a design lo attack the hotel where lie was slaying, but the precautions of the authorities prevented it. His Secretary is out of danger. We har everr person we talk with condemn the respect which is-generally shown to wealth; while we neer m-et one who is entirely fre from the failing he condemns. We have yet to make the acquaintance of the gentleman who would

not sooner take within his own an arm covered with lace and satin, thin on peeping frcrn the folds of a rag carpet. Poverty may look well at a distance, but when we come too close to it, its appearance is not quite so charming.

Proverbs. It is remarked by soma writer that excess of ceremony show a a want of good breeding. This is true. There is nothing so troublesome as overdone politeness. A truly well bred man makes every person around feel at ease; he does not throw civilities around him with a shovel, nor toss compliments in a i hundtp nc tvctultl h u i.- iv i I K u rS t Vi f.-rtr . - 1 do imitate the best is the best imita tion; and a resolution to excel is au ex celleut resolution. Calamity is like a coal, which is Sur to blacken if it do not burn. It is well to know misfortune, st time in order to treat properly prosperity. Virtue is a plant of so delicate a nature, that the breath of suspicion often kills it. She who is fond of display abroad will make a poor appearance at home. With some fortunate individuals, word a like civility, cost nothing, and jjurchas everything. The world is a perpetual eemtude, where no one lives for himself alone, and where, if we strive to be happy, we must kiss ita fetters and love its bondage. It is o s rved that the most censori" ous are generally the least judicious; who having nothing to recommend themselves will be continual' finding fault with others. No man envies the merit of another who has any of his own. Fools who don't use Tobacco. Th following anecdote is a good one. On O. S. Fowler, who bad been enlightening the citizens ol . upon their butnpi is a tall specimen of human genus, end abounding in self conceit, sj irui-h so ihtl he sometimes mistak s impertinent interrogations for wholesome inquiries, and makes them accordingly. Sitting in the office of the Line hotfl one morning, he observed our trieild Bar ret quietly Munkiug a cigar. ' Young man," t-aid he, in a severe tone, "don't you know that a man who uea tobacco is a fool?" "Well,''' said B., "it may be so; but there is one fact that perhaps you are not aware of, an 1 which 1 wish to impress ou your mind; that ihere ate a great mau fools who don't u$e it." The phrenologist drew the inference and discontinued the conversation. ASmaet Woman. In Lexington, last week, au Irish woman, named Mt Grain, was engaged in baking bread, when, from a tefeci in the flue, au out-building connecting with the pigsty took fire, and not being able to lift ihe pig, iih the ax she knocked away a portion of the sty. look away the pig and tied ital some distance from the house. On returning tha discovered the roof of the house iu fhmrS, and there being no person near exept her three children, her first murrinriit was to carry them away from djnger. Then returning, she removed every article of furniture, excepting one bedstead, which having lost the key, she could not take apart. She iheti removed every door and window s.if'.Iy from their places almost before any assistance anivt-d, and was only prevented by force from entering the flames aud saving her bread from the brick oven. In little more than an hour from the freaking out of the fire, she walked over the smoking ruins aud took out her bread, which was found to be nicely baked. Bunker Uilt Aurora. Art or Swimming.
