ire that at Mr. William*' instance, the officers were dismissed on that roud,nnd that two of them were dismissed from a motive of political proscription. The facts are, as is shown by the records, that a violent controversy had arisen on the road between the engineers and Ihe commissioner. This controversy was of the bitterest character, and manifested itself in abusive handbills and anonymous newspaper publications. It involved not only the officers, but the citizens and contractors. Under these circumstances, a dismissal of the whole batch of officers on that road was recommended to the board by Mr. Williams, and that recommendation was followed, and anew organization of the corps of engineers made, by which a saving m°de to the State in expenses, and the public interest advonced. One of the engineers dismissed, a Mr. Smith, was temporarily employed afterwards by the resident engineer as an assistant, but against Mr. Williams' advice, as is shown by his letter on record. In all this Mr. Williams appears to have actcd correctly. I Jfr. Frnzier, the dismissed engineer, who preferred these charges against Mr. Williams,accuses him of lacking the necessarv qualifications for his station. Your committee cannot determine whether this charge be true or not, as they profess no skill in the science of engineering. It appears, however, just as probable to your committee that Mr. Frazier himself is incompetent

cide on Wr. Williams' qualifications, as Mr. Williams should be so destitute of skill as he supposes.

There may be several minor points in Mr. Williams* case which your committee have omitted to notice. But they think his vindication is complete and triumphant on all points, and will be so found upon examination. That he has made ruthless and bitter enemies in the public service is creditable to him, for every mon has his enemies who deserves them. He of whom of all men speak well is a time server and a hypocrite.* (Signed by) J. C. EGGLESTON,

Tho Governor in assigning his reasons fbr not exercising the exocutive clemency in this case, says that Rathbun has been many years engaged in mercantile transactions, banking, building, common carrying, and in purchasing, improving and selling real estate, in which multifarious business he had employed for along time two thousand laborers, besides near an hundred agents, assistants, cart men and overseers --had the control of several Banks and kept financial agents in Buflhlo and New York that his daily payments exceeded ten thousand k,s vast financial operations affected the money market throughout the ™l^ntry lhat these extensive financial

I,AND SALE.

All persons troubled with the Western emigration fever should remember that the public salesof the Wabash and Erie Canal Lands commence at Maumee City on the 0th of June next, and at Lima in Allen county on the 20th of Juno next, nnd will continue for a number of days, provided bidders attend. The lands will be sold in half quarter sections, or such smaller tracts ns may be now unsold. Specie, notes of specie paying Ohio banks, or Bonds of the State, made receilable by law, taken in payment. No tract will be sold for less than 92,50 per acre. The Maumee Times says the land to be sold in that land district," embraces some 58,000 acres, laying in ranges, within 5 miles of the Wabash and Erie Ca* oal, and mostly in Wood, Lucas, Henry and Williams counties. To any one who is acquainted with the fertility of tho soil of the Maumee valley, (and who is not, where has not her fame spread,) naught need be said in favor of these lands, for all agricultural purposes. We claim that we have as fertile a soil as the sun ever shone on, and that which will yield as rich proceeds, from proper tilling as any other section of our country can boast of and these lands, being situated on the immediate line of the canal, give them the advnntago of as good a market as our country affords. Therefore, we consider that they offer rare inducements to the purchaser —to those wishing to become lords of the *ti\"—Cleaxxland Herald.

The machinery is less expensive, and the amount of fuel required Is lees by one half/ The qaantity of sugar prod wed on a given space of ground greater, besides being of better quality.

molasses remained. This, howeter, only

happened after it had stood from one to two months.— There is reason to believe that if the plant were fully ripe, and the process of manufacture perfectly performed, that the syrup might be entirely crystalized without forming any molasses. This perfection in the manufacture cannot however be attained with the ordinary apparatus. Without any other means for .pressing out the juice than a small hand-mill, it is impossible to say how great a quantity of sugar may be produced on an acre. The experiments have been directed more to ascertain the saccharine quality of the corn atslk, than the amount a given quantity of ground will produce but the calculations made from trials on a small scale* leave no room to doobt that the quantity of sugar will ba from 800 to 1000 pounds. "Another mode of cultivation, to be employed in combinstion with the one first proposed, consists simply in raising a greater number of plants on the same space of ground. By this plan, all the unfavorable results above mentioned were obviated, a much larger

of the sugar yielded by it are now in the Patent umce, with a small hand-mill by which the stalks were crushed." =v» ,3v •. .'if "The following mode of cultivating the plant, ancl making the sugar, is the best that can now he offered: "The kind of soil best adapted to corn is so well un* derstood, that no directions on this |Kint are necessary, except that it should be rich, the richer the better: if not naturally fertile, manure must be applied either plowed in or spread upon- the surface, or used both ways, according to the ability of the owner. Nothing can torm a better preparation for the crop, than a clover sod well turned under, and harrowed fine immediately before planting. "Select for seed the largest and best ears of any variety of corn not disposed to throw up suckers, or spread out in branches that kind most productive in thA neighborhood, will be generally the one beet adapted to tne purpose. The planting should be done with a drilling machine. One man with a pair of horses, and an instrument of this kind, will plant and cover, iir the most perfect manner, from ten to twelve acres in a day. The rows, (if practicable, let them run north and south.) two and a half feet apart and the seed dropped sufficiently thick in the row to insure a plant every two or three inches. "A large harrow made with teeth arranged so as not to injure the corn, may be used to advantage soon after it is up. The efter culture is performed with a cultivator, and here will be perceived one of the great advantages of drilling the plants all growing in lines,

erfectly and straight with each other, the stirs the earth and.cuts up the weeds by every one, so that no hand-hoeing will be required in any port of the cultivation. "It is apart of the system of cane planting in Louisiana, to raise as full a stand of cane upon uie ground as*possible experience having proved that the most sugar is obtained (rom the land in this way as far as my experience has gone, the same thing is true of com. This point must therefore be attended to, and the deficiencies, if any occur, made up by timely re-planting: "The next operation is taking off the ears. Many stalks will not produce any but wherever 'hey appear, they must be removed. It is not best to undertake this work too early: as when, the ears first appear, they are tender and cannot be taken off without breaking, which increases the trouble. Any time before the formation of grain upon them, will be soon enough.

IkT «I* L. Jam* MMII "Nothing farther ie necessary to bp done until the crop is ready to cut for grinding. In our latitude, the cutting may commence, with fne earlier varieties, about the middle of August. The latter kinds will be ripe in September, and continue in season until out off by frost. The stocks should be topped and bladed while standing in the field. They are then cut, tied in bundles, and taken to the mill. The tops and blades, when properly cured, make excellent fodder, rather better, it is believed, than any hitherto used ana the residum, after passing the rollers, may be easily dried and used thessme way.

grinding be founa both in the original cost, and in the expense of working them. Judging from the comparative hardness of cane and corn stalk, it is believed that onefourth part of the strength necessary in the construction of a cane mill, willbeamply sufficient for corn? and less than one-fourthpartof the power will move it with the same telocity. It may be made wittr three upright wooden rollers, from twenty to forty inches in length, turned so as to run true, and fitted into a strong frame work, consisting of two horizontal pieces sustained by uprights These pieces are mortised to sdmit wedges on each side the pivots of the two outside rollers, oy which their distances from the middle one may be regulated. The power is applied to the middle roller, and the others are moved from it by means of cogs. In grinding, the stalks pass through on the right mde of tne middle cylinder, and come in contact with a piece of frame work called the dumb returner, which directs them backwards so that they pass through the rollers again in the oppoeite side of the middle one.— The modern improved machine is made

entirely onron

three horizontal rollers srranged in a triangular form, one above and two below, the cane or stalk passes directly through, receiving two pressures before it escapes. The lower cylinders are contained in a smalt cisu-rn which receives theJuice. The latter machine is the most complete, the former the least expensive.— These mills may be moved by cattle, but for large operations, steam or water power is preferable. When the vertical cylinders are turned by cattle, the axis ot the middle one has long levers fixed across it, extending from ten to fifteen feet from the centre. To render the arms firm, the axis of this roller is carried up to a considerable height, and oblique bracea of wooo^jy which the oxen or horses draw, are

extended

from tne

top of the vertical axis, to the extremities of «wn ot the arma. When horizontal cylinders are propetiea oy

will ferment in twenty minutes after it enters the receiver. Corn juice has been kept for one hour before boiling, without any apparent injury resnlting^out so modi delay is not desirable, as it may

opiirioiv or THE RAM frees tit Ntmkmrgk OSISMI We this week ran op the flag of JHBNRY CLAY, and, whatever may be the policy of otbera, we at least will figbt jradecr no other banner. But to show W. |e dcs|||ot act hastily oriwadvis&Iy in thia matter, s^deetn it biopei to state, that many, very May of tba ablest Wh% pr^B|s ,in the, coan|r|r have hoisted tfae sarhe^ig and expr^ssed tlieir detemtiaation to swiih-iri^St flying at their mast head. The Address of the members of the Legislature, too, evidently looks to Mr. CLAY as the ONLY man that can receive the support of Whig party for the Pre* sidency in 1844. In that Address we find the following passage, which, while it pays a merited tribute to the worth of HENRY CLAY, contains, at the same time, in point of factat least, a nomination of that distinguished gentleman to the fust office in the gift of the American people:

MIn

mentioning the American system, we

feel that associated with it in the minds of every citizen, is the name of Henry Clay a name spoken with accents of gratitude by all who have truly the interests of their country at heart. To his great talents and exertions in this cause of the nation, we owe the attention wbich the subject has excited throughout the land. While we cannot disguise the regret which we feel on the occasion of his retirement from the arduous duties in the Senate of the United States, *e are satisfied that he carries with bim the thanks of agreat people, and their wishes for his future happiness and that a kind Providence may nutain and preserve Mm, to render such further services for his country as it may have in store far

him" 4..

.•

And who doubts that his country has In store for him her highest, her richest gift? Can services like his be forgotten by a People that have never yet proved ungrateful! No,— never. In the nervous language of,a contemporary, "the people—the honest yeomanry of the country—the occupants of the Palace and the Log Cabin—unite in the opinion that greater injustice has been done to HSNRT CLAY than any other public man since the formation of our Government. They feel that of all men living, he has rendered the greatest services to the country that at all times and under all circumstances, he has been the most zealous and consistent advocate of all great national interests: that through good and through evil report, he has pursued "the even tenor of his way," and exhibited a beautiful consistency and a straight forward advocacy of right, such as no other public man can boast and that there has been a manly frankness and fearless independence in his support of his principles, Which clearly demonstrate that with him his cuuntry and her interests have ever been the great object of his life, utterly regardless of self. Under such circumstances, gratitude for past services and a deep feeling of mortification that one so deserving should have been treated with neglect atid injustice, have aroused in the public mind a feeling and enthusiasm in relation to "Harry of the West/' which is destined to carry him triumphantly into the Presidential Chair in 1844. His noble sacrifices of self to country his manly support of Harrison when he well knew lhat if justioehad been done to the people ho would have been their candidate his noble efforts in support of Whig principles against the political treachery of John Tyler and his untiring and successful exertions to keep the Whig Party united when basely «feserted by its head—-are all pointed to with feelings of pride, of gratitude and proud satisfaction, as reasons which should prompt early, united, and successful action in his behalf."

But aside from these manifestations of public sentiment, there are still stronger reasons why every Whig paper in. the Union should unfurl the CLAY BANNER, and consent to no compromise. Among all the brilliant statesmen of the age HENRY CLAY is the only one who is^completely identified with the AMERICAN SYSTEM. Of this system he is the father. He has given it life and being. And now when the necessity of its adoption is almost universally acknowledged, who so fit to carry it out as its distinguished originator! Protection to Home Industry—absolute independence of England—and now the watchwords of the American People, They are also the watch-words of the whig party, and, in our humble judgment, the subject should be discussed by the Whig Press only in Connection with the name of HENRY CLAY.

Such being our views, we have taken our course, determined to stand or fall by the choice we have made. With HENRY CLAY for leader* we go into the contest with pleasurable emotions, and look forward to the issue with the liveliest anticipations of triumph. We know that we have much to contend against. We know that there is in this country still a small party wedded to the dogma of FREE TRADE. We know also, thit from this party we can expect nothing but fierce and determined opposition. But, against the theories of these men we oppose the popular intelligence, and against their vicious sehemes for the aggrandisement of England, at the expense or American Industry, we oppdse that love of liberty which is natural to American citizens. Who, then, can doubt the issue?

From tit Lnumgbmrgi OtatOt* mail brings us evidence that the very matt onng* us evnenoe wai iiw votceof the people Is for HENRY CLAY for President in 1944. Our exchange paper* ate one after another placing the name of the Kentucky Statesman at the head of their columnar-unfurling the Whig Banner, inscribed with his name, and its ample folds are gracefully wafted by the popular breeae.

In this they are not in advance, but are following the dictates of public opinion. In every section of the Union, the name of HSN RY (5LAY calls forth an enthusiastic feeling, and causes the pulse of patriotism to vibrate with a truly American impulse. His eminent services, always enlisted on the side of free* km, cause a feetiog of jost nride to glow la the breast of his countrymen!

The Press in almost every State keeps the name of

HENRY CLAY

as an indication of the wish of the whig pjrty. The whig electors bkve demanded it. With no party machinery to operate opoo the pu He mind, the whole paityaeein tobe lro«led, with entire unanimity, to nominate HENRY CLAY throoghout the Uokm.

THE QUESTION IN RHODE ISLAND. We published in Saturday's American an authentic statement of the facts connected with the recent political movements in Rhode Island. The following brief recapitulation of them may aid, we hope, in spreadiog the knowledge of a full and more general understanding of the true character of the controversy in question.

It appears that the existing government of Rhode Ishtnd possessed Rnd still possesses the power of providing for its own alteration in the usual manner—that is by calling a Convention Hence there waa no occasion for fomultuous violence. It appears further that this power was exercised upon the petition of "five or six hundred male inhabitants," and tbata Convention was called that the constitution submitted by this Convention was libferal to the utmost extent that was desired that it waa voted upon by all to whom, by its provisions, the right of suffrage would be extended in case of its adoption that the party calling itself the "Suffrage Party" opposed this liberal constitution which granted all they asked for, and that by their votes and the voles of those who desired no change at all, it waa rejected by a majority of 678.

It is farther shown that after a Convention bad been called by the legal authority to amend the Constitution, the mal-contents, iartead of waiting for the action of this ConMention, did proceed in a tumultuous manner ®y amass meeting to call a separate conveoboo, without any legal authority, that delegates sent to this convention were elected by in aggregate vote of 7,200, while the whole •amber of male citisRis, over twenty-one years of age, after making allowance for for•qgnera «®d paupers, waa over 22^000 that fee constitution reported by this convention *aa submitted to vole in an mrosoal manner —that is to aay, after all who wished had voted without any legal restraint as to age, rceproperty, or colour, during the three days allotted for the purpose, the

other* Ml pNHBt» WH* fc three daya more—thus ghring an fpfOftunity for all kinda of fraud that with nine theosaad votes given ia personalty and five thousand names handed in, the reported constitution received an aggregate of fourteen ifeoasaiid votes according to the showing of jtHe parties conducting' the election*. Yet

gaily proposed constitution was vOted every effortby the Storage Party to the aggr^ate vol^ against ftwaiabovc 0|Wu —and this aggregate included the vote* of those who desired no chnQge| amounting probably to one'tbousand. I

It is lastly to be noted that the question in Rhode Island has not been and arnot a party question in the ordinary sense. Whigs and Democrats unite together ic supporting the constituted government and members or both pnrties are unhappily engaged in attemptmg treasonably to overthrow it. There af^sars to be no excuse, no pretext having the fcsdow of reason, to excurpate the uiauijpnfa from the deep condemnation which their iBjudged measures must draw down uponthsM. They could have had legally snd fiririy eve reform that was aaked for it waa proffini them. With infatuated and guilty they rejected the very offering which they had clamored for, and, beguiled by designing men, who have sought to malm false Nuts and abused the name of Liberty, they have been drawn into open insurrection* Thetr success would be the forerunner of universal anarchy sooner or later throughout the Union for it would assure the desperate and disappointed politicians of every State that existing governments were things of straw which might be destroyed at any time whenever a bold faction might chooee to assume them and the guarantee which law now throws around property, the security which it affords to person, would be a shadowy nothing-—impotent —worthless.—Baltimore American.

On the evening of the 17th instant, several of Governor Dorr's near relatives called at his quarters, endeavored to convince him of the impossibility of the success of his mad pro* jects, and urged him by every consideration that ever moved mortal man to desist from the conflict. A number of members of Legislature joined in the entreaty, and his chief counsellors added their unanimous opinion against a forcible movement. He refused to listen to ai an

nything, and promptly issued his orders for attach upon the arsenal.

The signal gun was fired at midnight, and the insurgent forces, accompanied by Dorr in person, marched and took up their position, with six fioldpieoes, within musket-shot of the arsenal. It is said that thev were completely within range of grape and canuister and, had they fired a gun, the return from the arsenal would have annihilated them. They were about three hundred In number. A flag of truce was then sent to the arsenal and possession demanded on the part of Col. Wheeler and in the name of Gov. Dorr.

koow

neither Col. Wheeler nor Gov. Dorr," said the tnterpid Col. Btodget, the commanding officer. ««lf you do not surrender we shall take it," said the bearers of the flag. Take it if you can/' said Blodget. The insurgent then repaired to their guns, and Dorr gave the order to fire. It is not known whether they refused to fire or were prevented by their ignorance of gunnery, but not a gun waa discharged. '1

About sunset orders were issued by the commander-in-chief and the Major General to the commaders of volunteer companies and Brigade Generals of the 3tate to rally in defence of the authorities. Several companies were on the ground by sunrise of the following morning. Early on that morning, the mayor of Providence published a notice requesting all citizens, friendly to the authorities, to assemble with arms, at 7$ o'clock, A M., at the Cadet alarm-post. On the same morning, twelve of the Senators and Represen-

that they resigned^their offices antfwould not prosecute the rebellion. The military and citizens rallied nobly at the call of the authorities, and were ready to march at 0 in the morning, with the bast blood of the State in their ranks, old men, honored for their past services,'and young men, the hope and flower of society. Dorr's vererable father, and all bis relations capable of bearing arms were, to their honor beit said in the rank*.

About this time nine o'clock in the morning) it was rumored that Dorr had fled* His forces having withdrawn from die arsenal, were in arms at his headquarters, the house of Barrington Anthony, their cannon being loaded and pointed so as to command all sides of the house. The constitutional forces approached and ported themselves on different sides within a short distance. The Governor and sheriff then went to the house, and told the insurgent crowd that their object was to arrest Thos. W. Dorr. They were informed that he had left the city. The sheriff said he search the house. Against this the insurgents protested, and made a show of resistance but it waa done thoroughly, though unsuccessfully. As soon as it was found that Dorr bad certainly fled, a strong party of horse followed him in instant pursuit, nnd the grtater part of bis insurgents diqmrsed. A few of them, however, remained on the ground, and, after the withdrawal of the constitutional forces, threw up a breast-work for defence. Their strength was subsequently increased by de* tachments from the country. They continued underarms during the night, but, the next morning, finding that they would bd attacked by an overwhelming force, they anrrendered their cannon, and abandoned the plane entirely—«nd thus ended the rebellion. Their pieces of artillery were found ott examination filled to within afoot of the muzxie with scrap* of boiler iron, spikes, dcc.

A report was current, on the morning of the 19th instant, that Dorr was in Belling, ham, Massachusetts. A requisition wasabout to be made for bim. There waa no chance of his escaping nntees be left the country.

THE WAR BEGUN AND ENDED) The cml war in Rhode Island, so lone anticipated, baa had its commencement and ter annation in the same day. We record its bloodless end with pleasure* bat know not whether to weep or laugh at the success of the

Cfaurter Party On Tussday last. Gov. Dorr edkunastfin thebeoseof Barring

mmtary vn mm imoMSivas readiness near the house. A large number of armed men took up their station tlNriij^irdip^v. In theevening,* detachment frooithisbody cap* tared from e-vtfunteer cpinpftty fnthe service of the State, two cannons, and planted them near Mr* Anthony's honsa. After sundown on Tuesday atoning, the relatives and friends of Gov. Uoor, incladiag a bu$e por* tion of the Suffrage Legislature, waited on him, and begged of him to desist from open viotapee, but their entreatiee were in vain, and hehenisted hi coming to an open rupture with the Government. About midnight, ha led his troops in person to an attack on the StateAieenalin care of Cul., Blodget. They halted it, and sent in a flag of trace, demanding At surrender of the ^Arsenal. Col. B. told them that he did not know them tbey said thev would have to take it, then and, the. Cot. invited them to dnsot^lfeycovhf. They thea dm* themselves ep in array, and Gov. Dotrgave the word to "fire." But either they didn't know km to fire, or were afVaid, phr they did not de it, and returned to Mr. 'Anthony's leavii« the Arsenal untouched.— Dhijiig the night, Gov. King had aent out expresses, calling in forcee from all parts of the state, which came in early on Wednesday morning. In the morning, the Mayor issued bis Proclamation, requesting the citizens to close their shops, whteh was done. GovKing then muttered his forces, and marched them, armed to the teeth, to Mr. Anthony When they arrived there, they fouhd the tu& frage army stationed round the house. Gov, E. slated, that they bad come to tuk» Mt. Dorr, at which they showed some resistance, but the house was searched, nevertheless, unsuccessfully. It appeared, that Gov. Dorr had escaped early in the morning, in a carriage with two floet horses, on the road to Worcester. A body of horsemen immediately started ID pursuit. The news of their Governor\I escape ajid perfidy, damped the ardor ot the Suffrage soldiers, and the most of tbem suffered themselves to be disarmed without reaistence, A number of tbem stated that they would give their arms up, but would not be forced to do so« The forces under Gov. King then withdrew^ and were dismissed with orders to hold themselves in readiness. Thus, has terminated for the present and ilNbegun struggle. The Charter partv is successful, and the Suffrage men defeated and disheartened by the treachery of their leader. But though superior force and courage has sua* seeded, the success must generate ill feelings in the conquered and it is now the part of the Charter Government, to bestow, with generosity, the meed of suffrage which the combatants claimed. It can do so, and will, if sober counsels prevail.

During Wednesday mtttilhlj 13 mwfnbers of the Suffrage Legislature issued a card, resigning their seats, and deprecating the violent eourso of Gov. Dorr.

WHIG SPIRIT. .V.

We have all along known, and we have frequently said, that the Whig spirit is aa strong in the country at the present moment, in almost every district in the Union, as it waa on the day of the meeting of the Harrisburg Convention and that the occasion only is wanting te call it into action. In probf of this, we have the acceptable information by last mail, that Thomas M. T. McKennan, the faithful and well-triod Whig of many years' standing, has been returned to the House of Representatives (to fill the vacancy occasioned pv the death of Joseph Lawrence) from the Washington district, in Pennsylvania, by a majority of more thfcn three hundred votes, being a largely increased Whig majority since the last Ckngresaiongl electiontr-iV(8' InUlli' fmcsr. a .* -i4
