The New Mexicah Road. Mr. Sib X.EY, one of the Commissioners appointed to mark out the road from Missouri to the boundary line of the Republic of IVIexico, left this City on the 22d instant. He will meet with his associate Col. Reeves, probably at his residence in Howard County, whence they- will go with a well organised party in discharge of the important duties assigned them. They are well equipped, with six excellent light wagons, and a sufficient number of men armed and fitted out. in the best manner for defence and despatch. We feelercat interest in the

I cannot conscientiously omit my endeavors to impress it on the minds of the community. Rye ought to be cut as soon as possiple after the milk is out of the berry or kernel; then rake, bind in small sheaves and shock in the following manner: set up four, five or six sheaves together, acJ cording to their bulk, then place on a cap 1. aheaf. In this position, the shock may stand till perfectly dry; then secure ihcm in a barrack or barn, but never mow them on hay. Grain mowed on hay will receive more or less must this must is deleterious to animals of every kind. Rye cut and secured in this manner, is T?orth nearly double the price of that cut in the common way; the straw will make better fodder than clover, unless the clover be cut when very green, and peculiarly attended in cutting; the berry of rye will fill to a plump state, and the flour

V7 tvill afford as good bread as we common-

V

ly obtain from wheat."

I have known numbers of persons who Were deceived, when eating rye bread made with flour from rye thus managed, iind declared they would cat wheat bread in future, when at the same time they Were sating rye. Those who are unwilling to receive Bgricuitural knowledge from books need Hot spurn at this information; I was taught this method cf curing rye and practised it at the age of eighteen, now sixty-nine and a half, and have always feund it profitable and advantageous. OBSERVER. II csterlc. May 5, 1825. First settlement of Philadelphia. It was a remark of one of the wisest and best men, whom the world has seen, that there exists, in the economy and course of nature, an indissoluble union between virtue and happiness, between duty and advantage, between the genuine maxims of an honest and magnanimous policy, and the solid rewards of public prosperity and felicity. By the writer of a brief history of Philadelphia, this re mark of Washington is quoted, as being fully illustrated in the rise and growth of that city. And, indeed, there are many associations connected with the origin of Philadelphia, its progress and history, cqually grateful to the philanthropist and the patriotic citizens of the United Statc3. Its foundation was laid in peace and concord. Our ancestors, in general, how. ever gently we may touch their motives ?nd temper, merit little for their wisdom

Europe, the building of which, cost millions, is now partitioned into workshops. The pompous and formidable navy of Spain, which, in former days, floated in insulting security in her wide and spacious bay, is long since annihilated from the waters of the deep, and the rich galIcons, which annually poured into their vast wealth from the mines of Mexico and Peru, to feed the sickly appetite of pampered sensuality, ?re no more. Neptune, too, has declared war against the city, and decreed, that his watery clement shall ride rampant over its walls; already he has made great inroads on its boundaries, and I doubt whether the treasury of France, (for Spain has none,) will be adequate to repair its rotten walls; commerce also has taken her departure, and is now on her wings to other distant regions, and has left nothing behind but

poverty and distress. Men are to be'mct

Did we not know Gov.Tioup to be a pure, perfectly hon est, and truly patiiolic man, devotedly attached to his country, we should infer, from the turbulent charactei of his messages generally, that he was a restless, visionary, suspicious, discontented man, and fond of trouble. This is not the case: he imagines that the state ol Georgia is intruded upon, by the- general Pnment. While, on the one hand, itS not our duty to encourage suspicion or fcvsgust against the general government; deV manded, by considerations of geneial safety, on the other hand, it may be well, to bear in mind, the attack on what was caikd the great central power; ht mischievous, if not rebellious agi'ation tA the Missouri question; the threats of a vorlhe n conlVdtracy; the cry ot a neul.ern P.csidctit; and hen, bear in mil d, that a pi on in nt actor in tin se scenes, las been tewa ded by an important foreign appoint ment, ai d men i'etivccl in favor, h,su?c 10 Ameiican piinciples, and regardless, du'ing the b'c war, of Atactica: i.onor and si fei) Let us "keep our ee thus."

REVOLU I lONARY HISTORY. A writer in the National Gazette makes the following comnunicaiion on the fcubject of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Modesty should not rob any man of his just honour, when, by that honour, his modesty cannot be offended." Such is the expression of Chief Justice Mc Kcan, explaining the emission of his name in the printed Journals of Congress, as a party to the Declaration of Independence. His claims to a rank among, what are commonly called, "the Jifiy sue worthies" whose names are affixtu to that instilm ent, iae been universally admitted: (Vi; e DaLaa Jmkvs Penn Afif 54
