I was once travelling in a stage coach with several others who were entire stran gers to me, and according to my usual custom I began a purvey i f my companions.

These lands are generally first-rate st lectio;;?, at d arc sold on the lowest terms." "So soon as the Western banks resume specie payments, the State Hank, if she fails to keep company, forfeits her charter. '1 he Western hanks will resume some time in June. The State Hank cannot resume at that time, as we believe, and of course will fotfiitlier charter. She can then do no business but wind up. unb'ss tho Legislature relieve her. Thn will hardly be done. Hence there t much probability that she will wind up. In case the latter alternative be adapted, she has been given by our Locofocos fire years to close her concerns." A bold attempt at burglary was attempted at Cincinnati on Tuesday night last, by three persons, who tried to force an entrance into the Drug Store of W. (J.

He opened tho door and fired a pistol at two of the burglar, at the window. A third whom he had not perceived, near the door, indicted on him a dangerous wound with rt knife.

In Virginia and the West, fresh meat is given to them not iinfieqiientlv. To most of them is allotted a piece of ground (a patch) for a garden, in which they grow sundry vegetables and fruits for their own use, and not -eldom for that of their master?, by whom they are paid a fair price. Poultry and eggs, which they also have of their own, are more generally sold by them, either at thotr master's family, or at the nearest villnge or court house; and with the money they purchase gro. ceries and other minor luxuries, or articles of personal adornment. The fruit, which they raise in the largest quantities for their own con. sumption and for sale, is the water mellon. The hcuse slave partake of the fare of their superiors, with the exception of a more restricted use of wheat bread; but this cannot bo called a ptivtOi'Mi among a people whom, as in the case of these of th South and West, maize is the I read-corn, and the preferred one of the country.

If a clerk, in the receipt cf two or three hundred dollars a ye-ir, scarcely giving him the means to keep the body and soul t gether, appropriate a small sum belonging to his employer t-i his own use, he is called an embezzler; is arrested, tried, convicted, anil sent to the Ftnte ptisott. I To is a poar devil, nnd gains no sympathy. Pet if a public officer, having political influence, fiiends, a Fplendid mansion, anil a well tin niched tabic, appropriate to his u so 100,000 of the public money he is merely a defaulter a funart fell vv who has only failed to account for certain money. A visit to Kuroue, or a ttin to the L'ape do Ycrd-, excites a little attention, gives birth to a few squibs in tho newspapers, presently to disinterested (1) enquiries regarding the time of the return of the defaulter, then to well insinuated doubts of his guilt, and anou the cries of i-hame and persecution. It would seem that men no sooner get hold of the public purse than they turn rogues at once. The atmosphere of oP.'ice is contagious to rascality 'specially that of the. Custom House. The devclopenicnts lately made in Mr. Poindexler's report, are enough to turn tho whole colured population intensely white. Put such is the state of our morals in regard to tuch matters, that the knaves who paid a dollar a gross for steel pens, and (barged the government twenty dollars, will be applauded for their smartness. And there will be no check upon these thing till the distinction that is made between the poor clerk and the ri(h ollice holder is removed by an cxpresion of public opinion, and of disgust that cannot be mistaken. And our elections, how arc they carried on? Uribery, corruption of every kind, and perjury seem to be the chief agents. Wc have seen how our prison doors are opened, and miserable con viets let loose upon the community in ronaidtra tiun of their votes.

The late Ahalition Movement. In the charge of Judge Noah, to tha (Irruid Jury of the Court of Ceneral Sessions in New Vork, wo find the followinrr- extract, having reference to the proposed abolition convention in that citv and the discussion of the question of a repeal of the Union. 1 he Judge talks like a patriot: It i3 understood that an abolition con vention is to ho held in this citv during the present month, and it has been avowed in the official Gazette attached to the in terests of the delegates about to assemble, that the questi n of repealing the Union between the North and the .South, will he openly discussed on that occasion. This has been in part contradicted, but coupled with a declaration that no violence shall prevent tho discharge of their duty. It is possible that the objects and intentions of this convention may have been misrepresented, for it is difficult to believe that even fanaticism carried to its fullest extent, could have tho boldness to broach doctrines of the most treasonable imort. in the midst of a population devotedly attached to ihe Union of tho States. The people have an undoubted right to assemble and discuss any question connected with the niaintainance of their own rights, and tho preservation of our free institutions but it is unreasonable to suppose that, in any attempt to carry out the object of this meeting, however ostensibly humane they nmy be, that such convention will be permitted to suggest, much less discuss, a project embracing a di.?solu tion of our happy form of qovernmeni.

From the Cincinnati Gazette. Agricultural Interest.

It is important to ali legislative, as well ' .1 I . to theirsurprise, though not to the surprise of thinking men, that blow has woll nigh prostrated the asrrkvltural interests, alo. So must it be ever. All these interests are linked together, and that which doet hurt to one, will do hurt to all. We endeavored a short lime since to call the attentiun of our agriculturist to this fact, and to show them that it was absolutely essential to their welfare to look about them, and prepare for the change which this conduct, in pait, and in part, the opening of now Stales west of us, mut pro luce on the character of their employments. Wc are glad that papers of buth political parties have published our remarks, calling the attention of their readers to litem, ami, wc hope, that the subject will be well discussed and considered, so as to produce something like a harmony of action on this subject for it is a subject which very nearly concerns all classes and all interests. Tho Indiana Journal, referring to that article, sa 6 : "From w hat wc learn from the farmers in this quarter, many of them aro determined to try some other crops than those they have heretofore been raising. Several of them have sown considerable quanj lilies ( f hemp, others are turning their attention to the culture of tobacco, and some are disposed to make the trinl of manufacturing sugar from Indian corn, and are now planting with a view of that object." And what the Indiana farmers are disposed lo "tiy," the Oiiio farmers must soon do. Hut for both, one thing is necessary, let them cultivate what they may, hemp or tobacco, or sugr from Indian corn, or the beet root, and that is, a gootl home market. No industry, no fertility ef the soil, can save them without that ; but with that, this North West of ours, with its rich earth, and ihe energetic men who till it, would be as independent tis any country need be. And how is this home market to ho obtained Let our farmers, and the friends of the farming interests, put ibis question home to all ! Mow can we pecn.e thi home market ? There is one plain courr-e open before u all, and only one, as it appears to us, and that i, to build up manufacturing establishments wherever it can bo done. That course has made New I'ngland what she is. ITer soil, we know, is sterile; unlike ours, p. lie h.-ts nothing scarcely to gather from its flinty bosom; and yet, poor as it i, they who cultivate it, prosper even now. And why? Because every rill almost, the chief water pow er certainly of New England, is de voted io manufacturing purpose s, so that farmers find at their very doors, a readv sale for all that they crow, and are hnppy, contented, and out of debt. Nor is this all. That same bleak New England, with its sterile soil, lias the whole Union ind;htcd to it, nnd ie competing with England in India and South America, and wherever her manufactures are allowed k enter upon any thing like equal terms ! Now what New Enuland is to the East, and South, Ohio and Indiana may become to the West, and South West. Tho same line of policy would bring about thj game results. IJuild upon our water courses, have our Lowell, and Nashuns, and Paw tuxets, and let the sound of the hammer and tho water wheel, and the music of the loom, be heard all about, and farming inicresi may necome as independent and happy here a there. Does the farmer ask us, if we seek his interest directly by pecuniary investment in this matter? Certainly not. If able, let him make it if not, not. Hut there is ono thing farmers can do, far better than paying out money, and this is, to resolve that American labor shall be so protected, as to put 11 "C.,U,IU 11,0 roacn oi loreirrn labor xr'" cause manufactures to spring un ever'w,iere al)0l,t U8 ftnJ' as a matter of course, when this is so, the Farmers oT Ohio and Indiana will have a good home mahkkt, and soon bo out of debt, and make ours, notdebtor, butcreditor States, We trust that the good people of Ohio and Indiana will ponder well on this subject.
