Majority of an active nwhtt of the ;.o;.-i-inally concerned,) that the nation and the Stat- have been placed in a deplorable condition, I deemed it best to announce myself thus the harmony and unitr-d action of mv friends may continue, an ! the

judgment of every voter be exercised in contempt of any repugnant or unacceptable interference. As citizens of the F. St.vos or of Indiana, a majority of you might w ith safety acknowledge the uelecation cf a tvuninating power proper, if -ad led upon to elect represenlr.tives of the

ttio ear, which the juice so retained in the

stalk would have ripened, had not the ear, when just forming, been plucked away. Sixty pounds may be considered a fair estimate in weight, of a bushel of ripened corn and, at this rate 3,000 pounds of ripened corn w ill be the weight of the produce of one acre. Nearly the whole of the saccharine part of this remains in ihe stalk, bVide, that would have existed there without such a removal of the ear. It is plait), therefore, that the san mine

conclusions of exper-menters the past year

have not been dr;;U-n from insufficient da

ta. Deride', it has been ascertained, by trial, that corn, on bointr sown broadcast.

(atvl so requiring but little labor, comparatively, in its cultivation,) will produce fiv e pounds per square foot, equal to 108 tons to the acre for fodder in a green state and it is highly probable that, w.'.en subjected to the tre- tment necessary to prepare the stalks, as above deserihed, in the best manner for the manufacture of suar, a not less amount of crop may be piuhiced. Should this prove to be the case, one thousand weight of sugar per acre might lie far rolow an estimate. Experiments on a small scale have proved that

stx quarts of the pure, obtained from the corn stalk sown broadcast, yielded one quart cf crystallized syrup, which is equal to It) nor cent.; while f,r one quart of svrno it takes thiriv-two quarts of the tap of mr.tde. Again, the corn-stalk requires only cuefifth the pressure of the micar can" and

lamp. Flight pounds of lard equal in

weight one gallon of sperm oil. The whole of this is converted into oil and stearine, an article of which candles that are a good substitute for spermaceti can be made. Allowing, then, for the value of the stearine nhou the oil, and it may

be safely calculated, that when lard is six cents pr pound, as it is now but lour oi five cent-! at the West, a gallon of oil can be afforded there for fifty cents since the candles from the stearine willsell for from twenty-five to t'.lrty cents per poimo. Stearine for this purpose has recently been obtained from castor oil, the product of the I alma efiristi. or castor bean. .-

plant successfully cultivated in portions cf. our country. j Oil, it is well known, is an article o(j

uirge consumption in our country. i ! e amount cf sperm oil from our whale fisheries, for the year FS 1 1 , was 1, '.)('.', 7. t gallons of ulude and fish oil, (h.'HVd.Ool gallons making a sum total of lldi'2'.115 gallons. The amount for 18 10 did not vary much from the same. The amount of sperm and whale oil ex-ported in 1810 was Vd.Vjjs gallons, leaving for

home consumption 0.37'd.'. 2. gallons. In (he year 1S10 there was also exported from this country s.r)3,93 pounds of spermaceti randies. From these statements, which do not incdude linseed, olive, and other oils, it will lie seen that the encouragement for the manufacture of oil and stearine, from corn meal, and lard, and the

castor Lean, is very great. F

rurtt-er, wtuie cane requires at least eighteen months, and sedulous cultivation and much hard labor, to bring it to maturity, the sowing and ripening of the cornstalk may be performed, for the purpo.-o of producing sugar, with ease, w ithin 70 to V0 days tints allowing not less than two crops in a season in many parts of our

country. J tie stalk remamme. after be

It is not improbable that, by further experiments, an oil may be obtained from the c tton seed, of such an excellent quality as to make what is now almost a total loss an article of great value.

thougo the improved method of using varum pans will prove more profitable when the sugar is made on a large scale.

troducing into the United States the culture of the cane and the manufacture of sugar from the same, has, it is probable, been hardly remunerated, though individual planters, on some locations, have occasionally enriched themselves. The amount

of power required, with the cost of ma

ever place this branch of industry beyond

Should tho manufacture of sugar from

gars are annually imported, and a surplus

might be had tor exportation. In hurope.

already, more than loO.OOO, 000 pounds of soe-ar are annually manufactured from the beet, which possesses but one-third of the

saccharine matter that the corn-stalk does; and there are not les3 than 7)00 beet sugar

manufactories in France alone. Fv this

Instead of ap pearitig suddenly and rebuking the man for his theft, rani thereby losing his custom forever, the crafty old gentleman gave the thief his change as if nothing had happened, and then, under the pretence of lifting ihe bag to lay it ou his horse, took hold of it; on doing so, it appeared heavier than he seemed to expect, upon which he exclaimed. "Mess me, I must have reckoned the weight wrong." "Oh, no," said the other, "you may he sure o' that, for I counted them with you."

'ji -cy Silk Culture in JtmericaWe have lately met with a few facta relating to this subject, which we lay before our rrddtua, hopim1 that even such n very incomplete vkw, may not be without its value. In 1CC3, silk culture was started in Virginia; it was a penal ttTiiice.if mi.Iberry trees were not planitd at the rate often for every hundred ncrcs. In 1 7 GO ti;s London Society for the tm-f.ar.

sylvania, and Connecticut. In 11-17, Mr. Law, ti c Governor of Connecticut wore ihe Hit cot and stockings nuido of IN'cw England siik. Some extracts taken from the very raie and intcresiinc 'Silk Journal' of President Sli'rs, cf "N'ew Haven, show that silk whs lais.d in oc.vport, I. I., as early as 1758. In 177), Mra. Siiles, wife of the President, had a gown which was manufactured in London, from silk raised by iier-e'f; a.id in 17S8, at the commencement of Vale College, the President wore a gown woven from American silk.

sunn lobe established. There is a good deal of silk raised in the town of Somerset, (Ky.,) and in Madison, (la.) Mr. Ira Wells, of the 'ast mentioned place, raided seven hundred dollars worth during the year pist. .Nashville, (Tenn..) deserves to be mentioned in this connection; Dr. Thcs. White of that city having invented a machine, which performs the foe distinct processes of reeling, winding, ihrosting, tramming, and skeining (he silk, in but little more lime than is commonly required for reeling it alone.

A verdict for .$1,000 was first obtained in one of the inferior courts, but the verdict was set aside because the geranium was in the nature of a tree, and the taking of a tree was only a trespass, and not & felony.

The jury, on :,.o second trial, were incensed at the quibblo. and gave a vindictive verdict 83,000 and costs! A new- trial was granted on account of excessive damages. The third trial the jury gave $5,000 damages. The defendant, for fear of getting into a greater difficulty, paid tho money nnd costs. Ledger.
