PETER FRANCISCO, TILE SAMSUN ot"VILE Wi;zTEE.N 11E)1161•11EltE As late as the year 1836, there lived in Western Virginia a man whose strength was so remarkable as to win him the title of the "Western Samson." He knew nothing of his birth or parentage, but supposed he was born in Portugal, from whence he was stolen when a child, and carried to Ireland. His earliest recollec- Lions were those of boyhood in the latter country. While yet a lad, h. apprenticed himself to a sea captain, for seven years, in pay for a passage to this country. On his arrival, his tune and services were sold to a Mr. Winston, of Virginia, in whose service he remained until the break ing out of the revolution. Being of an adventurous turn of mind, he sought and obtained permission of his master to join the army, and was engaged in active ser vice during the whole contest. Such was his strength and perso.al bravery that no enemy could resist him. He wielded a sword, the blade of which was five feet in length,,as though it had been a feather, and every one who came in contact with him paid the forfeit of his life. At Stony Point, he was one of the "forlorn hope' which was advanced to cut away the abatis, and next to Major Gibbon, was the first man to enter the works. At Brandywine and Monmouth, he exhibited the most fearless bravery, and nothing but his inability to write prevented his promo tion to a commission. Transferred to the South, he took part in most of the engage ments in that section, and towards the close of the war he was engaged in a con test which exhibited in a striking manner his self-confidence and courage. One day, while reconnoitering, he stop ped at the house of a man by the name of W ,to refresh himself. Whilst at the table he was surprised by nine British troopers who rode up to the house and -told him; he was their prisoner. Seeing that he was so greatly outnumbered he, pretended to surrender, and the dragoons seeing he was apparently very peacefully inclined, after disarming him,,allovved him considerable freedom, while they sat down to partake of the food which he had left when disturbed. Wandering out into the door-yard he was accosted by the Paymas ter, who demanded of him everything of value about him at the risk of his life,, in case of refusal. "I have nothing to give ," said Francisco, "so use your pleasure." "Give up those massive silver buckles in your shoes," said the dragoon. "They were the gift of a friend," replied Fran cisco,"and give them to you I never shall; take them if you will, you have the power, but I never will give them to any one." Putting his sabre under his arm, the soldier stooped down to take them. Fran , cisco seeing the opportunity, which was too good to be lost, seized the sword, and drawing it with force from under the arm of the soldier, dealt him a severe blow across the skull. • Although severely wounded, yet being a brave man, the dra goon drew a pistol and aimed it at his an tagonist, who was too quick for him, how ever,-and as he pulled the trigger, a blow from the sword nearly broke his wrist, and placed him hors du combat. The re ' port of the pistol drew the other dragoons into the yard, as well as W , who very ungenerously brought out a musket, which. he handed to a soldier, and told him to make use of it. Mounting the only horse he could get at, he presented the..muzzle at the breast of Francisco, and pulled the trigger. Fortunately it missed fire, and Francisco closed in -upon him. 4. Short struggle ensued, whieb. ended in his 'disarming and wounding: - the - soldier. Tarleton's troop of four b.undred -men • were now in-sight, and the other• dragoons were about ,to attack 'him. Seeing his ease-'was-desperate, he turned toward an adjoining 'thicket; and as if cheering on , a party. amen, he cried out, “Come on - my - brave - b4s, now'a' your time; we will scioritlespatalkthesislow i and then attack the main body !" . :at the - Bathe time dish in gtit . the ,dissooa with the : fury of an en= raged They did not wait : to engage him, but fled precipitately to the troop, panic-struck and dismayed. Seizing upon the traitoi ous villain, W-,Dein° was about to despatch him, but he begged and plead so i.i.rd for his life tat he forgave him, and told him to secret for him the eight horses Which the soldiers had left behind them. Perceiving thatTarleton had despatched two .ther dragoons in search of him, he made off into the adjoining wood, and while they stopped at the house, he like an old fox, doubled upon tneir rear, 'and success fully evaded their vigilance. The next day he went to W for his horses, who demanded two of them for his services and generous intentions. -Finding his situation dangerous, and surrounded by enemies where he should hay.. found friends, Fran cisco was compelled to make the best of it, intending to revenge himself upon W , at h future time ; "but," as he said, "Providence ordained that I should not be his executioner, for he broke his neck by a fall from one of the very horses." Many other anecdotes are told of Fran cisco, illustrativ of his immense strength and personal prowess. At Camden, where Gates was defeated, he retreated, and after running monk a road some distance, he sat down to at himself. He was suddenly accosted by a British dragoon, who presen ted a pistol and demanded his immediate surrender. His gun being empty, he feign ed submission, and said he would surrender, at the same time remarking that his gun was of no further use to him, he presented it sideways to the trooper, who in reaching for it threw himself off his guard, when Francisco, quick as thought run him thro' with the bayonet, and as he fell from his horse, he mounted him and continued his retreat. Over-taking his commanding offi cer, Colonel Mayo, of Powhatan, he gave him up the animal, for which actof gener osity the colonel afterwards presented him with a thousand acres of land in Kentucky. The fol?wing anecdote, exemplifying his peaceful nature and his strength, is also told of Francisco. How true it is we can not say, but we tell it as it was told to us many years ago, while he was still living in Buckingham county, Virginia. One day, while working in his garden, he was accosted by a stranger who rode up to the fence and inquired of him if he knew "where a, man by the name of Francisco lived." Raising himself from his work and eyeing his interrogator,"who appeared to be one of the "half horse, half alligator" breed of Kentuckians, he replied, "Well, stranger 1 don't know of any other person by that name in these parts but myself." "Well, I rackon you aint the man I w ant I want to find the great fighting man I've heard tell so much about. The fellow they say can whip all creation and Kaintuck to boot." can't tell you, stranger, where you'll fig - a - that man; I don't know such a man," said Frimeisco ' resuming his work as a hint to the other that the conference was ended. But the Kentuckian was not to be bluff ed off, as he would term it. "Look 'ere, stranger," said he, returning to the charge, "what might your given name be l" My name is Peter Francisco at your ser vice." "Ah!" returned the other,"you're just the man I want to find ;" at e same time, riding inside the fence, he dismounted and tied his animal—a rough, ungainly Indian pony—to one of the posts. "My name is Big Bill Stokes, all the way from old Ken tuck. lam the Kentucky game chicken, I am. I can out-run, out-hop, out-jump, knock down, drag out, and whip any man in all them diggins. So, as I hearn tell of a fellow down here -abouts who could whip all creation, I thought I'd saddle old Blos som, and just ride over and see what stuff he's made of, and here I am. And now, stranger,l'm most starved for a fight, and I'm boud to see - who's the best man before I I go home. in good feeling, you know, and if you lick me, why I'm satisfied, but—" "Stop a minute, stranger," Said Francis co "you've mistaken the man entirely ; "I'm no fighting man at all, and if I was, I've nothing against you to fight about." "Well, I don't know ; is there any other Peter Francisco in these parts ?" "No, not that I know of." "Well, then, t'ou'r the man, and you must fight. I've come all the way from Old Kentuck, and I ain't a-going back without knowing which is the best man." "But I won't fight. I've got nothing to fight about, and I tell you I won't fight." D—d if you •shant fight, I'm bound to lick you if I can—if I don't you must lick me." By this time Francisco had become an gry at the importunity of his visitor, and determined to put an end to the scene.— Seizing his antagonist, therefore, by the seat of his buckskin breeches, and the col lar of his hunting shirt, he threw him over the fence into the road : then walking leis urley to where his poney was tied, he un fastened him and taking him up by main strength; th rew him after his discomfited rider. The Kentuckian raised himself from the ground, perfectly dumb-founded by such an exhibition of strength, and after rubbing his eyes, as though he thought he might not have seen clearly, he mounted his po ny, remarking, "Well, stranger, I reckon you'll do. I reckon it's about time for me to make tracks. If any body asks you about that great fight, you can tell 'em you licked 'Bill Stokes most ly." Francisco wassa powerfully built man, standing six feet and one inch in height, and weighing 260 pounds. His muscular system was extraordinarily developed, and he had been known to shoulder with ease a cannon weighing eleven hundred pounds; and a gentleman of undoubted veracity, (still living in Virginia,) who knew him well, says : ~H e could take me in his right, hand and pass over the room with me, playing my head against the ceiling as though I had been a doll baby. My weight was 19.5 pounds." His wife, who was a woman of good size and fair propor tions, he would take in his right hand, and holding her out at arm's length, 'would pass around the room with her, and carry her up and down: stairs in that position:— He would • take tr. barrel of cider by the chimes, and holding it to his mouth would drink from _the bung a long and hearty draught without any apparent exertion. Yet with all his strength, he was a very peacefully -disposed man, and never made use of his power except in „ease of neoesei V about his usual veoatione r or in defenee. of the ' right; On aeoasi,ons of oaf' " TEAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS TEE dERATEBT REWARD."=7-BRUHANAN.

Although uneducated, he was a man of strong natural sense, and of a kind disposition. He was withal a companion able man, and his anecdotes and stories of the war, of which he possessed a rich fund, rendered him a welcome guest in the first families of the State. His industrious and temperate habits, tegether with his kind disposition, made him 'many friends, and through their influence he was appointed Sergeant?t-Arms of the Virginia House of Delegates, in which service he died in 1836, and was buried, with military honors, in the public burying ground at Richmond. From the Wabash (Ind.) Gazette—April 41 AWFUL DISCOVERY. A WHOLE FAMILY MURDERED Yesterday evening, about dark, a report reached town that . a whole family were discovered buried under the floor of the cabin which had been occupied by the Hubbards, who are now in jail charged with the murder of Boyles. The awful news spread rapidly over town, and in half an hour or less, the Coroner with a jury, and some- thirty or forty citizens started for the place. We immediately set about finding the truth of the story, and are in- debted to Mr. James Wilson for what fol:. Yesterday (Tuesday) morning, Mr. Wil son and M. I. Thomas, Constable, provided with a warrant, started down the canal to arrest the wife of Hubbard, late develop ments rendering it highly probable that she was an accomplice in the murder of Boyles. They proceeded to Mr. Gardiner's works, five miles west of town, where they ound the woman and arrested her Loveland suggeited to Mr. Wilson that suspicions were entertained that the Hub bards had murdered a whole family last fall. As soon as Mr. Wilson heard this, he, in company with Mr. Loveland, went to the house of Mr. Fisher, where they as certained that some time in September last this Hubbard family went to board with a family by the name of French, who then lived in the cabin since occupied by the Hubbards. This French family con sisted. of seven persons—the - father, mother, and five children. They were a very poor family, that had been living in the neigh borhood six or seven years, and were wel known by all the neighbors. During last summer, the old man French had'raised a small patch of corn and some garden stuff—the whole of which, together with the furniture', was not worth over fifty dollars. Some time in October, Mr. Lewis, a near neighbor, went to the cabin of French to purchase his corn. He was met at the fence in front of the cabin by the Hubbards, and was told that, the night before, Mr. French's brother had come along with a wagon, and had taken Mr. French's whole family away with him, and had started for Illinois, and, that they had purchased all their things, including the corn, garden and furniture. A day or two afterward, Mr. Stearnes Fisher went over to inquire if the French's needed any assistance, and was met in the same way by the Hubbards, and was told the same story. No suspicions were entertained at -the time that foul play had been used, and no thing occurred until after the body of Boyles had been found afid the Hubbards were arrested. It then first began to be thought these monsters had murdered the whole family. On hearing these state ments, Mr. Wilson determined to go and search the premises. He then went down to Gardiner's works and procured a shovel and pick, and tried to get some one to go with him. No one, however, believed the story, and so no one volunteered to go.— While they were talking, Mr. Thomas came up, and he and Mr. Wilson proceeded to Hubbard's, and found the door locked.— They drew the staple with the pick, and entered the house. They found the door raised, and some dirt removed. Mr. Miles Morgan, constable, had been there a short time previous, searching, and had discov ered a piece of skull bone, and had gone away. They then proceeded to dig away the dirt and soon discovered the body of an infant, very much decayed. They im mediately left, and came up to town and got the Coroner, who summoned a jury, consisting of Stearnes Fisher, J. Lewis, D. Brooks, F. Loveland, M. W. Stober and Dr. J. W. Jellison, who at once proceeded to the pine, which they reached about 7 o'clock last evening. In the presence of a large company, they proceeded to exam ine the place where the infant had been discovered, and, horrible to relate, found seven bodies, consisting of the entire French family! Tfieir skulls were all broken in, and the legs of the old man French and his wife were broken, so that they could be doubled up and forced into the hole, which was three or four feet deep. They were laid in a heap, the father and mother at the brttom, and the children on top. The babe was about fifteen months old, and the old est child about fifteen years old. There were three girls and two boys. The chil dren were much decayed, but the parents were still sound, and were easily recog nized by those who had known them. There is not the least doubt that the Hubbards are guilty of this wholesale and damning murder. It is almost too horri ble for belief, but the facts are as above stated, and the conclusion is irresistible. Mrs. Hubbard will be examined to-day.— 'There seems to have been no other motive than the obtaining what few worldly goods this poor family possessed, which were not worth 'over fifty dollars! POPPING THE QllESTlON.—jedediah Hodge was dead inlove with the beauteous Sally Hammond, but owing to an uncon querable feeling of diffulence,he had never been able to screw up his courage to the ,sticking point requisite to enable him to inforin her of his predileotion.

But, Unluckily, his courage oozed away, and became small by degrees, and beautifully less, as the poli ticians say, till, wherche,was fairly in her presence, he was barely able to remark thitt, it Was a wariu - evening., Sally- got tired atlength of this oft „reiterated obser- Y B tioiis PA4.YesPli.ed out of his like .41, true -woman she hi/d - uottaia pordeiii . . was trying to come at, bat co - tildn't.i For` the fourth time Jedediah came, but did not succeed any Utter.

"Jedediah," resumed Sally, after.a•lit tle hesitation, "I'll tell you something if you will promise certain true that, you won't never tell anybody." "No, I won't said Jedediah, stoutly proud of the confidence reposed in Him.

Jedediah started as if struck by ta, gal vanic battery, and shouted enthusiastically, "so we will, by gosh, if you •will only say the word." .1 - - Of coursey Sall was astonished lat.this sudden application of her dream, and could not believe that he was in earnest l . At length she yielded her consent, and her dream was verified at the altar in legs than two weeks. FARMERS' DEPARTMOT THE POTATO.—The potato has become so essential an article of food, that 'every- thing calculated to assist and increase its cultivation is regarded with interest. Hence the following hints, which we copy from a recent number of the Louisville Journal, may be found useful to: sOme of our farmer readers : 1 To grow potatoes profitably, th 4 land should be well manured, or they , Should be planted on a grass or clover ley.l A great number of experimenss have from time to time been made with small and large potatoes, - cut and uncut, in order to to determnie which were the most profita ble to plant. The result generally has been largely in favor of large or medium potatoes planted whole ; large or medium sized, cut in two pieces, have produeed the next best yield ;'while small potat4s have yielded less in quantity as well as smaller in size. ' The plan we have found most sicess ful in the cultivation of potatoes ha been, to put the ground in the best`possi e con dition by thorough plowing and haqowing, and to lay the rows off about thi c t ty-two inches apart for the Neshannoc, an wider for other varieties, dropping t. seed about eight or nine inches apar in the rows. By careful experiment six inches, deep has been found to produce a more profitable return than when plan d at a greater or less depth. The se ds are covered with the plow, leaving die ground in this condition until the young pl i nts be gin to appear, when the harrow is run over the rows lengthwise, leavingte sur face light and clean, which gives, he crop a good start of the weeds. It is amistak enil policy of most farmers in earl ing up the vines of the potato too high. The best crops we have ever seen were grorn nearly upon a level surface, using the qiiltivator instead of the plow. When eartlied up, as is the practice, the crop loses in a great degree the benefit of the rains wh6 they are most needed. to mature the' tubers. As the crop for winter use in our climate is required to lay in the ground until the cool weather of fall sets in, the rows should be earthed up only so muq:i us is required to mark their locality after the weeds and grass have been removed, p.m paratory to harvesting. We should be pleased if some of our friends would make the experiment of slight earthing, compared.with the lordinary practice of ridging up the vines, and give us the result. . • i a [From the Germantown Toltg p T. 12.)

THE WHEAT CROP OF THE WIST.—We learn from a gentleman who has travelled pretty extensively through the States of the North west during the past six weeks, that ate prospect of the wheat crop was never better. In lowa a large quantity has been sown, but so great is the emigration to that State, and so rapidly did it fill up last season, that a large portion of the surplus will be required for the new settlers there and in Kansas :and Nebraska. Throughout Illinois, it is represent ed that the crop never looked better. The high prices of the last few years, and the almost certainty that there will be but little abatement during, the present year, have stimulated the farmers to sow au extent beyond fornier precedent. And the same may be said of Wisconsin. The prospect there is that the abundant crop of last year will be succeeded by. one equally as good as this. We hear good reports, too, from Indiana and Michigan. On the whole, if nu untoward event interposes between now and harvest, the Northwest, which is in fact the granary of the Union, will turn out a surplus which will gladden the hearts of the breadless'in our Eastern Cities. There will be compara tively few men engaged in the construction of railroads in thn West during the present season, all the great lines being nearly com pleted. This will reduce the consumption of non-producers, and cause a large amount of labor to return to agriculture, thus increasing our supply by the operation of two causes. So, our merchants may look for an' active fall business, and a full supply' of breadstuffs, unless blight or mildew, or some other des troying agent, shall blast the fair prospects of the present —Phila. Argus. q The Easton Argus thus speaks of the bill repealing the license laws of the Common wealth: We thought, that as the people deciad . against a prohibitory liquor law at the last election, no attempt would be made at any legislation of a prohibitory character,,for one year at least. But ,it seems, our K. N. Representatives are determined to pay no regard to the people's wishes, either upon this or - any other question of public concern.— This anti-license law, as it now stands, is even worse than the Maine law ; for that allows liquor to be sold, in large or small quantities, for certain purposes—as it always will be, in spite of any law that can be framed. But this would prohibit entirely all sales of liquor, for any purpose, medical or other, in less measure thaFi—s, quart. How such a law, compelling people to buy at wholesale what they purchase only in the smallest quantities, will prumote.temperaace and cure the vice of intoxication, we cannot really see. Will it not rather restore the evil practices of ancient times, when many persons carried " pocket pistols" with them, always well "primed," and all housekeepers had the decanter as a standing piece of furniture upon' their side boards? What a pity it is that our law makers constantly run into extremes, instead of keeping in the middle path of moderation, wherein lies true safety.

By this invention, the motto • oly of milling heretofore carried on by heavy capitalists is • completely broken up, and a complete Merchant Flouring Mill i a brought; within the reach of any person having a few hundred dollars. The consequence of which will ttbe— hundreds and ousande of these Flouring Mills will be put in operatic, in all parts of the Union; it being appli cable to any po er, from a four.horse up to any other de sired., It can he placed In a room with other machinery, and the.sumil space It oat:tikes not to be missed—being on- , ly `2l feet long by 4 feet wide, embracing within this small compass all Ihd machinery, and turning out two barrels of superfine Flo ger hour. It is perfectly portable, a horse nod dray, et a Ingle lopd , betng capable of hauling it from one location to another; thus making It truly the most val. uable discover of the present age.
