of an additional tub, called a doubling tub, which
is placed partly above the still, in which tub the
doubler is inclosed, the beer which is pumped into
the upper tub passes down by a plug pipe into the
doubling tub, where it is brought to a boiling state
belore it is let into the still, which pipe is opened

Having received information, amounting to proof,
that my patent for the above described improve

Special Message of the President
of the United States in reference
to the French Revolution.
'The following is the message of President Polk,
transmitted on Monday last a week to Congress,
apprizing ; it of the course pursued by Mr. Rush in
recognizing the new French Government, which
the President fully approves:
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States :—I communicate to Congress, for their
information, a copy of the despatch, with the ac
companyingdocumenls. received at the "Department
of State.,from the Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Pleiitpptentiarv of the United States, at Paris,
giving official information of the overthrow of the
French monarchy, and the establishment, in its
stead, of a provisional government, based on repub
lican principles. This great event occurred sud
denly, and was accomplished almost without blood
shed The world has seldom witnessed a more
interesting or sublime spectacle than the peaceable
design of the French people, resolved to secure for
•themselves, enlarged liberty, and to assert, in the
majesty of their strength, the great truth that, in
this enlightened age. man is capable of governing
himself. The prompt recognition of the new gov
ernment bv the representative of the United States
at the French Court.meetswith my full and unquali
fied approbation: and he has been .authorized, in a
! suitable manner, to make known this fact to the
! constitutional authorities of the French Republic.
J called upon to act upon a sudden emergency, which
j could not have been anticipated by his instructions.
Ilf judged rightly of the feelings and sentiments
of his government and of his countrymen, when,
in advance of the diplomatic representatives o]
other countries, he was the first to recognize, so far
as it was in his power, the free government estab
lished by the French people. The policy of the
United States lias ever been that of non-intervention
in the domestic affairs of other countries, leaving to
each to establish the form of government of its own
choice. While this policy will be maintained to
wards France, now suddenly transformed from-a
monarchy into a republic, all bur sympathies are
naturally enlisted on the side of the g -at ’people,
who. imitatin'" our example, have resolved to be
free. That such sympathy should exist On the
of the people of the United States with tree govern
ment in every part of the world, and e.-pecially in
Franco, is not remarkable. We can never forget
that France was our early friend in our eventful
revolution, and generously aided us in shaking off
a foreign yoke and becoming a free and independent
people. We have.enjoyed the blessings of our sys
tem of well regulated self-government for near
three-fourths of a century, and can properly appre
ciate its value. Our ardent and sincere gratulations
are extended! to the patriotic people of France,upon
their noble, and thus far. successful efforts to found
for their future government liberal institutions sim
ilar to our own. It is not doubted that, under the
benign influence of free institutions, the enlightened
statesmen of republican France will find it to be
| for her true interest and permanent glory, to oulti
! vatewitb the United .States the most liberal princi*
. pies of international intercourse and commercial
: reciprocity, whereby the happiness and prosperity
! of both nations will he promoted.

The Turnip CuUurc,
“ No person ever deserved better of his countrv ,
than he who first cultivated the turnip."—Lonn
The introduction of the turnip among the culti

varieties of this root, the he>t having a yellow color,

not too much to insure a crop: the time lor sow ing
being from thcgi'th of June to the middle ol July,
the soil best adapted for their cultivation, being a
light, dry and friable loan, or almost any dry soil,
with the exception of strong anil heavy clays. The
land is host prepared by throwing it into drills with
the plough, in which compost or short rnamiremav

forming a ridge, upon the top of which the seed
might be drilled. The ruta-baga flourishes well on
a clover lay. which may be broken up after thefir.-t

size, and what is remarkable, the largest roots pos
sess the most nutiiment. The value of the crop
is very variously estimated, the product being on
an average, on good land, GOO bushels per acre, the
profits being sometimes estimated as high as 8u
dollars per acre, their value varying in different
seasons and places. It is one of the most valauble
crops raised by the farmer, although they are less
esteemed than formerly; still, they are excellent
food for all kinds of cattle, sheep and horses, and
produce large quantities of the best manure.

treatment, and the sowing may he delayed lor a
longer time. It is not so nutritious as the preced

cattle feed in the fall of the year, by which course
light soils may be improved. The Tankard varie

and is closer in its texture than the Norfolk, white.
The yellow varieties may be sown about the

This table shows the superiority of the ruta

or seven per cent, of its whole weight of nutritive

Anecdote of Jolm Jacob Astor. }
His wealth is literally beyond calculation, enor

value of his multifarious resources. Forty mil

his real and personal property. Stcphenj Girard's
estate was compared with Astor's, but was always
far. below it. At the time of the former's death,
John Jacob asked: i ,
“ How much did he leave V' I

JAMES K. FOLK
The message of President Polk, announeimr tlie !
change in the French government, recalls the reply !
which Washington made to the French Minister
(Adet) on the Ist of January. lT'Jd;
-Born. sir. in a land of liberty; having early
learned its value; having engaged in a perilous
eonllict to defend it; having, in a word,devoted the
best years of my life to secure its permanent estab

lections. my sympathetic feelings, and my best
wi.-hes are irresistibly attracted wheresoever, in any
country. I see an oppressed nation unfurl the ban
ners of freedom. But. above all. the events of the
French have produced the deepest solici
tude. as well as the highest admiration. To call
your nation brave, were to pronounce but common j
praise. Wonderful people! ages to come will read !
with astonishment the history of your brilliant ex- ;
ploits. T rejoice that the period of vour toils and ;
of your immense sacrifices is approaching. - T re-'
joice that the interesting revolutionary movements;
of so many years have issued in the formation of;
a constitution‘designed to give permanency to the j
great objects for which you have contended. I re-1
juice that liberty, ’which you have so long embrae-;
ed with enthusiasm—liberty, of which ;you have j
! been the invincible defenders—now finds an asylum ■
in the bosom of a regularly organized government;;
a government which, being formed to secure the
happiness of a free people, corresponds with the
ardent wishes,of my heart, while it gratifies the
pride of every citizen of the United States, by its
resemblance of their own. On these glorious
events, accept, sir. my sincere congratulations.

not rny own feelings only, but those of my fellow

purchased at so great a price.and all the happiness
that liberty can bestow. - !

nation, the colors of France, which you have now
presented to the United States. The transaction
will be announced to Congress, and the colors will

Wellingtons Last Vote.
Y&e fy incident in tin* life x of Washington is full ■
of' interest. That.plain heroiiNniagmtude of mind
which distinguished him above all other men was
evident, in all his actions. Patriotism, chastened
by sound judgment and careful thought, prompted
all his public acts, and made them examples for
the study and guidance of mankind. Tt Iras, been
said that no one can have the shortest interview
with a truly great man, without boinir made sensi
ble of his superiority. Of ton many., who have
some way earned the title of great, this is by no
means true. Its applicability to the character of
Washington is verified in the following interesting
circumstance related by a correspondent of the
Charleston Courier ;
1 was present," says this correspondent, :: when
Gen. Washington gave his last vote. It was in the
spring of 1799, in the town of Alexandria. He
died the 11th December following. ! The Court
House of Fairfax county 'fas then over the market
house, and immediately frohting Gadsby's tavern.
'X he entrance into it was by a slight flight of crazy
steps on the outside. The election was .progressing
—several thousands of persons in the court house
yard and immediate neighboring streets: and I was
standing on Gadsby's steps when the Father of his
Country drove and immediately approached the
court house steps: and when within a yard or two
ol them, I saw eight or ten good-looking men, from
different directions, certainly without tlje least con
cert. spring simultaneously, and place j themselves
in positions to uphold and support the steps should
they fall in the General's ascent of them. I was
immediately at his back, and in that position enter
ed the court house with him—followed an his wake
through a dense crowd to the polls—-heard him
vote—returned with him to the outward crowd—
heard him cheered by more than two thousand per
sons as he entered his carriage—and saw his de
parture. .
“ There were five or six candidates on the bench
sitting; and as the General approached them, they
arose in a body and bowed smilingly: and the sal
utation having been returned very gracefully, the
General immediately cast his eyes towards the re
gistry of the polls, when Col. Deneale. (I think it
was)~said, ‘Well, General, how do you vote?’ The
General looked at the candidates, and said, ‘ Gen

Bearer of Despatches.
A gallant and fashionable officer, who lately ar
rived in the city of Mexico, reporting to the Com
mander-in-chief. went to a barbers shop to adjust
his dress and remove the signs of his arduous
journey. When he . had completed his toilet, and
rigged himself in a fine ruffle shirt and spick-span
new uniform, he went to Head-quarters and pre
sented himself to the Commander-in-chief, with-the
despatches of which he. was the bearer. “ When i
did you arrive, sir ?' r asked the General imperatively.
“About three or four hours ago, sir.’’ “ Why did
you not report immediately?' 5 “I only delayed,
sir. to make myself decent to appear before you 5
“ Sir.” remarked the old General, with great em
phasis. “ I would have you remember that a bearer
of despatches should deliver liis package with the
dust upon him ” The “ handsome Major” received
the rebuke in an excellent humor, and went his ,
way with a pretty elevated idea ot the authority
of old “Fuss and Feathers.”
This story reminds us of our “ Mustang,' 5 who
came very near being treated more roughly than
the aforesaid Major, lor carrying out General
Scott's idea of despatches. On his arrival at Wash
ington, he went immediately, in the very same
clothes with which he had started from Mexico,
and which bore pretty strong marks of his two
thousand miles journey, to the residence of the
Secretary ol War.
Knocking at the door of the house, our friend
was received by a pug-nosed servant, who judging
by appearances, came to no favorable conclusion
as to the character of the visiter, and peremptorily
informed him that the Governor couldn’t be seen.
-1 must see him. " was the reply of “Mustang; 55
and to the utter astonishment and great indignation
ol the servant, he entered hy the door and quietly '
seated himself in the halG The servant retired,
and presently a lady appeared, and in a very posi
tive manner informed the unseemly intruder that
the Governor could not be seen, as lie was taking
his afternoon nap. -Very well, madam, I will?
keep him company, and as I have not slept a wink
for six days. I will take a siesta in this chair.” The
lady terrified at this suggestion, went immediately
to the Governor, who. presently appeared, yawning
and frowning indignantly;—“Who is it that thus
disturbs mo at this hour •“ Sir,” replied “ Mus
tang,” “ 1 am directed by Gen. Scott to deliver this
despatch immediately upon my arrival in this city j s '
at the same time, to the very great embarrassment
of.the lady, drawing a sealed well-worn document
from some remote corner of his clothes, delivered
it to the Secretary, and retiring. A short time
afterwards a messenger from the War Office made
his appearance at Fuller's Hotel and desired imme
diately to see Mr. F —sending his card up—but
was very coolly informed that that gentleman
could not he interrupted, as he was taking his siesta.
The Governor, who loves a joke as. much as a
pinch of snuff laughed hcartly at the “ retaliatory
measures." of our friend, whose promptness and
activity he complimented in very high terms.
A* ic- Orleans Delta.
of Gen. Scott,
The Mexican correspondent of the IS*. O. Pica
yune tells the following;
Uct me tell you an auecdute of. Gen. Scott that is
relatei here. When in Puebla, in view of the pos
sdhility of being cut oil' in the battles he had to
light in this valley, he put all his important papers
in a box. sealed it and left it in the hands of a
friendly Mexican family on leaving the city, with'
directions to send it to his family in case any thing
happened him. Since he found the Court of Inqui
ry was to sit here he sent for the box, to obtain
from it some papers necessary in the preparation
of his case. A box arrived precisely similar to
the one he expected, and was placed in his room,
where it lay several' days unopened. The papers
were at last imperatively demanded, and Capt.
being present at the time, the General, who' was
busy writing, requested him to open the box, and
hand them to him. The Captain did as requested,
and pulling out several printed handbills, com
menced reading one of them. . The General at last
became impatient, arid looking up. asked the Cap
tain what lie was reading. The Captain, who is
somewhat of a wag. turned round aud-read the
following certificate:
Nr.w York, June 3d, IS4S..

efit l derived from your Aromatic Bitters on my
return from--my lust whaling expedition,demands
from me as a duty, and as a pleasure fo- myself,
that 1 should make its virtues known to-all who
may be similarly afflicted : I was affected with loss
of appetite, attended .with great debility and lan
guor. threatening'an entire prostration oi'my cncr-'
gies. thus rendering me unfit for business of any
kind, and if not checked, would have rendered life
itself insupportable. At this junction, I was rec-
Blake's Aromatic Bitters.” and after
trying two’or three bottles, I recovered my usual
good health, which has been preserved to me ever
since. I must not omit to mention, that your bit

cause ot my affliction. Hoping that you will use
this in a way that will cause the benefits of your
medicine to be extended to all.
