SPARTAN
On the 20th of August last, Lieut. Idollyneaux.
landed at Acre, taksng with him three volunteer
seamen and an interpreter ; and having. hired cam
els, horses and attendants, he started early the fol
lowing morning with the ship dingey, en route to
Tiberias. 'For the first two hours the rad was ex- i
eellent. On nearing the village of Abilin its cha
racter altered, the country became hilly, and some
awkward passes, were encountered. The village
of Taran was reached the same night after tencon
secutiVe hours of travelling. On the following day
the party arrived at Taberias, where they encamp
ed outside of the walls of the town, and near the
edge of the lake. Immense herds of camels were
seen feeding in different cbrectioas. From the hills
overlooking Tiberias the prospect was magnificent,
Djebel Sheikh, smothered in clouds, was distinctly
• seen to the left, bearing N. N. -E.; in front were
e blue waters of Tiberias, surrounded by fine
ranges of hills; Djebel Sheikh, Abe white ruins of
the Sated. On the 23d they embittked on the lake,
which is described as tying of eater ,-ize than is
generally laid down :—frotnjTiberias to.the eastern
shore, not less than eight or nino l e miles. and from

the northern extremity of the like is 32° 49' 9",
about three and a half noes to the south of the
point usually marked. The Jordan is deseribed as
shallow, and crossed_, by numerous weirs, which
greatly obstructed the page of the boat. In ma
llt places it might have been eru , seil by step,ling
from stone to stone without wetting the shoes, its
waters are muddy and frill_of tish its course torte_
rous in the extreme. and -some waterfalls were
found. Great reluctance was manifested by the
natievs towards the purposed descent of the
and every possible obstacle thrown in the way.—
The - Sheikhs - demanded in.some ca.-es exorbitant
sums for passing tlircut.zh their provinces; and al
tercations, annoying and Jecessanr. Were generall y
terminated by a elisplay_ol tire aim.. and the threat
to shoot them unless they allowed the party to pre-

as the sea got on there was heard a most unusual
noise, something like breakers ahead At 2 A M..
upon the 4th,conskiering hey must he apinciaching
the south end of the sea. they hauled to the wind
and'stood over towards the western mountains
and at daylight were about five miles from there

From Rachel Feslikah to the north. nearly down
to the'peninsula. to the south, the mountains on the
western side rise, almost like perpendicular wall,
to a heigiht of MO or 1500 feet. The peninsula is
connected with the main land by a low neck, so
that at a distance would be considered an island.
Having arrived at what was thought to be the
deepest water, soundings were obtained at 225 lath-.
oms ; the arming of the lead was clear with some.
pieces of rock salt attached to it. Two other casts
of lead were taken at different times; one gave

who was particularly expert in ferreting out an pun.

day,he' saw a 0 . (liar coming up the road, as usual,
he accosted him, in ho,es of finding a culprit whom
he mizht fine.
"Fine mornin," said Nickem, reining up his
horse in front of the pedlar's wagon.
" What have you got to sell, anything!" said the
sheriff.

ANTS AS coon.—White ants, or termit e s, are eat
en by various African tribes, both raw and boiled ;
and it is said the Hottentots " get into good condi
dnicm on this diet." In India. the natives capture
great quantities of these in"ects, which they may
up with flower, producing a kind of pastry which
is purchased at a cheap rate by the poorer people.
Some of the Africans prepare large quantities of
them for food, by parching them in kettles over a
slow fire.' In this condition they are eaten by hand
fuls as delicious food. The traveller Smeathman
states that he often ate them dressed in this way,
and found them to be " delicate, "nourishing and
wholesome, resembling in flavor sug.aril cream, of
sweet-almond paste. - In Brazil, the abdomens of
yellow ants are eaten by many persons. Humboldt
states that in some of the South American counfnes,
ants are -mixed with resin, and eaten as a sauce.
In Siam ants' a=s are considered a luxury; they
are tent to table curried, or rolled in green leaves
mingled with fine slices or shreds of fat pork. In
Sweden, ants are distilled along with rye, to give
a flavor to the inferior kinds of brandy. Chem
ists have ascertained.that ants secrete a pleasant
kind of vinegar, or a peculiar acid called -formic
acid. We derive these facts from an article on
" Useful lnsects and their Products," in the Scottish
Quarterly Journal of Agriculture.

14 RILOARDLI4B.I OF DZMUNtIitTION FROM AN I' QUARTER.II
FALL. Tasicspwarrum.—Persons of limited ex
perience.differ in their opinions, as to relative ad
vantage of spring and ,fall for transplanting trees.
while the most experienced fruit growers prefer the
fall for all hardy kinds. •
Some believe that the apple, pear, plum, &L..,
can be moved with the least injury in the fall;
while the peach and apricot will succeed best in
the spring. Mr. Downing says, in relation to the
the peach North of New York, it is better al
ways to make plantations in the spring. South of
that limit, it may usually be done with equal ad
vantage in autumn."
My experience has confirmed me in the opin
ion, that in our latitude fall planting for the peach
is better than spring, if set on dry ground; and
they should be placed on no other.
On the sth, Bth, and 9th of November last, I set
in the orchard one thousand five hundred worked
on budded peach trees ; and now, on examining
them, find that all are alive but teu ; the trees are
not only alive, but are making a good- growth, so
that the rows can be seen half a mile.
I have six hundred peach trees, which have been
in the orchard from three to five years, the most of
which were transplanted in the fall, with success
equal to those set last autumn.
The manner of preparing the ground, and treat
ment of those set last fall, has been as follows : The
field was sowed to buckwheat last season ; after
that was harvested, straight furro . ws were plowed
one rod apart, then furrows were run the other way
the same distance ; where the furroWs crossed each
other was a mark for a tree, and the plowing assis
ted in (bowing the boles. The. roots were set no
deeper than the plow run ; they were hilled up a
little more than would be required for a spring
planting.
Early in the spring they Were examined. to see
whether all had kept their position, and the frost
had started any during the winter they were atten
ded to. About the middle of June each row was
plowed, the same as a row of corn, with a two
horse team, having a short whittletree for the Off
side horse ; two mem followed the plow and hoed
each tree.
The ground has since been plowed clean and
sowed to buckwheat, tut none allowed to grow
widn,2 two feet of the trees .
This field occupies a high and bleak position;
front being a level eminence, the balance sloping

Sccrtsc GRANS LANDS —September is a favora
ble season to sow grass seeds. In many sections,
grass or hay yields a more profitable return than
any other crop, and it hence becomes an object to
keep the lands in mowing or pasturage as long as
pra t cable. On quite moi-t the sward-may be
kept up. and the production of herbage continued
without diminution, by occasional top-diessings of
manure. But on drier soils, it often becomes ne
cessary to renew the grass from seed. In order to
avoid the loss of a crop, it is practised in such ca
ses, to plow the sward soon atter the hay is taken
off, with a level,"smooth furrow, and after using a
light, sharp harro*, to sow the grass seed and brush
them in. The time of sowing may vary according
'to the state of the ground. If very dry, it is 'best to
wait for ram ; but if sufficiently moist to insure the
germination of the seed, the latter part of August or
fore part of September is generally considered the
lest time. Yet we have known lands sown to
grass. as late as October. with good success. lithe,
weather during fall is favorable, the grass gets so,
well set that it stands the winter , and guava well!
with the opening, of spring The hrst crop is how:
ever, considerably later. thongh it often gives a
good burden at the first mowing. It is proper to
remark that this mode of seeding is not recom
mended or lands that are much acted upon by frost ;
that is, lands on which crops are liable to, " winter
k ill."
NIATERLILi TOR MANTRE.—Dunng the dry wea
ther of September and Oetobei, the farmer will find
his account in collecting muck or peat, and such
loose vegetable matters as are to be had, for the
purpose of coveting hi. barn-yards to absorb the
urine from his stock and prevent the waste of the
liquids from the manure. Excepting „while the
while the weather is very cold, peat or muck, it
kept tolerably dry, may be used in the stables, and
by absorbing the liquids, converts them into a port--
able form, and by retaining the nitrogenous princi
ples, and adding them to - the compost-heap, a pro
rer decomposition of the mass is secured. Thus a
valuable article, which would otherwise be wasted,
is saved, and its addition to other materials increa
ses their value also. A good supply of peat and
articles for litter should be so cured before winter
sets in.• •

LETTER FROM JOHN M. UOTT*4.
Published by order of the Clay Committee.
Rlca.lo•sD, September 6, 148.
MT Das* Sim :—I received your letter yesterday,
by which I was delighted to hear of the
.fixed pur
pose—not an Albany flash-in-the-pan--of the deter
mined friends of the Whig cause, and of Whig
principles, to nominate Henry Clay; fur as matters
now stand, admitting Gen. Taylor to be a W;ii,i;
candidate, (which I utterly deny,) the party is doom
ed to certain, inevitable, and disgraceful defeat, and
every man not wilfully blind must see It. It was
an inexcusable blunder to suppose that from a mil
lion and a quarter to a million and a half of free,
independent Whig voters could be wheeled into line
at the word of command from some fifty or sixty
Washington politicians (most of whom had scarce.
ly shed their pin-feathers in•politics) for a candi
date who had never filled a civil station, and who
had not for forty years, and perhaps in his life. giv
en a vote for man or measure ; without experience
or knowledge of the practical operauons of any one
of the domestic questions about which we had dif
fered ; of no acquaintance with our foreign rela
tions; who had said to the:people "You must take
me on your awn respoitsability . —"I will not be the
candidate of a party, Dar - will Ibe the expontat
of your party principles," nor ;look to thi doctrine
of your party as the rule or my action ;" and while
he professed to shrink from no responsibility.stead
ily refused-to give his opinionon any one question,
except the practical use of the veto power; and de
clared his determination not to be governed by the
action of the Convention, hut would be a candidate
no matter who might be nominated; and in my
judgment his name never should have been con
sidered in, that Convention after he made that dec
laration.
But this last objection, it was said," had been re
moved by the pledges made for hint by Judge Saun
ders, in behalf of the Louisiana Delegation, which
he subs-equently adopted by.a card written by'his
authority and published by 'Batlie Peyton, Bidlett,
dr.c.—and this declaration was held up by the Tay
lor men and Whig presses of the country as suffic
ient to reconcile all Whigs ,to his eleCtion. That
Peyton Card and his cordial acceptance of the nom
ination bad placed him upon the Whig platform;
and just at the moment that many of us had brought
our minds to the conclu.ion to vote for him. how
ever reluctantly, he writes another letter, in which
he says he would have accepted the nomination
from the Baltimore couyention on the same terms
on which lie accepted the Philadelphia nornin-tom!
What becomes then of the Saunders pledge? What
becomes of the Peyton card I And if it be true
that there were no terms elpressed or implied in
the Philadelphia nomination that wou'd be incon
sistent with an acceptance of the Democratic nom
nation at Baltimore, in what an attitude does it ,
place the Whig party, selecting as the:, candidate
one Who could with equal propriety have become
the candidate of their opponents I And if not true,
in what a posi•ion does it place Gen. Taylor
But what I desire to learn is this! If Gen. Taylor
is not bound by the action of the Philadelphia Con
vention, who is I And if he may disregard its rec
ommendations, who may nut t And if he is bound
by their action, what right has he to lend the influ
ence of his name to the defeat of Mr. Fillmore, who
has associated with him, by the same body of men,
by accepting a nomination with Gen. Butler, a
cofoco, whose election he thereby assist in promo
ting,. In short,' his whole course of con 's in
sulting to the Whig party, and especially to all use
who participated in the proceedings at Philadelphia.
and if they had any Whig spirit left in them, they
would resent it.
If it is ascertained that the purpose of that Con
vention was perverted from us onginal legitimate
objects of ascertaining and giving expression to
public sentiment; by smothering it on the one hand,
and ma.tufactoring it on the other--nr in other
words. if it has been ascertained. (of which there is
no doubt.) thar the nomination was made through
the'inatrumentality of politicians; without the slight
est reference to the public will, and that the inter
ests of the' part• are likely to be sacrificed by it;
then I hold, that the error ought to be corrected
promptly by the people themselves, and I trust in
God. the meeting you notify me of may put the ball
in motion, that It may roll and gather a• it

WHIG PRINCIPLES INDEFINITELY POST
PONED BY THE WHIG CONVENTION.
Fulallr, to show, beyond all doubt, that the Whig
Convention did in fact repudiate Whig principles,
and deliver over the Party. blindfolded, to the ten
der mercies of a No-Principle, No-Party candidate,
we transfer from the New York Tribune the follow
ing summary, by Isaac Platt, one of the delegates,
whose statement is indorsed by' the editor of that
paper. in a paragraph. in which he style. the Con

To the Editor of the Tribune : •
SIN: -In the canons reports that hare appeared
of the , proceedings of the Whig National Cnn ven
non. there occur so many errors, that in order to
give our Whig friends a full and clear understand
ing of the real state of essential things, a short ex
planation is necessary.
"After the organization of the'Convention had
been completed, and the resolutions were °arrest to
go into a vote for candidates for President and Vice
President, Mr. Campbell. or Ohio, moved to amend
said resolutions, by adding the following:
" Ritrolred, That no candidate shall be entitled
to receive the-nomination of this Convention, fur
President or Vice President. unless be has given
assurances that he will abide by and support the
nomination ; that, if Dominated. he will accept the
nomination ; that he will consider' himself the can
didate of the Whigs, and use 'all proper influence
to bring into practical.operauon the principles and
measures of the Whig party.'
"No sooner was this resolution read, than an in
tense and angry excitement arose aipon every hand,
a dozen members tonving to get the door at once. ,
aad others calling to order. The President declar
ed it mil of order r from whisk decision Mr. Camp
bell appealed, and on that appeal was heard, amid
et:instant intertupuons—he insisting that it was
*strictly in order to define •vhat sort of candidates
should be voted for. A few others took the same
ground, declaring that they had a perfect right to
decide that none but sound Whigs should come be
fore the Convention, while others again declared
the resolution an insult to it. At length a motion
was made to lay the appeal on the table, and Oar
tied, taking the resolution with it. After this ,had
been done, Mr. Fuller, of New York, succeeded in
getting the floor, and offering the to wing resolu-•

principles and integrny of that party, claims of

more excitement sull than that of Mr. Campbell,
several of the Taylurites becoming nearly furious,
while their opthipents insisted that it eontained
nothing-to which any Whigs should object, but was
entitled to unanimous sanction. Mr. Gentry. of
Tennessee, rose to a question of order. The Pres-
Meat, declared the resolution out of order, from.
which Mr. Fuller appealed; and was heard on that
appeal, declaring that the Convention should - staed

its candidates were to be sustained -by the party.
Einally, amid the utmost confusion and excitement.
a motion . was made to lay the appeal on the table,
and carried by the Taylor men. who thus Smother

"After General Taylor bad been nominated, and
some genileilwn began to express their high gratifi-

floor, and expressed his opinion (bat, by the nomi-
nation, the whig party had been that day dissolved;
still, he would mate one more effort to apply the
proper party test, and therefore presented the fol

resolution, the reccpuon of which /3 cor

This created a more angry excitement than ei
ther of the resolutions previously offered, iii midst
of which Mr. Brown of Pennsylvania moved to lay
it on the table, which was carrted.
"Probably fearing•the introduJtion of More reso
lutions ,and seeing clearly the opposition that re
mained, Mr. Mcculloug,h next consented to hare
his own resolutioh of concurrence lie 'on the table.
As a last definite movement, Mr. Hillard. of Ala
bama. introduced a resoluuon endor-mg the doc
trines of General Taylor's letter to Captain Alli
son ; but as this ,also encountered opposition, he
soon withdrew it; and thus the 'convention ad ,
journed - without passing any resolutions haring
reference to Whig pnnciples, the issues before
the country, or of concurrence in the nomina

"In conclusion. I otter no comments of My own.

A CHAPTER OF TAILOR ENTHUSIASM.
JOHN M. BOTT:4
The Mount Vernon (Knox county) Times will not
hoist the name of Gen. Taylor:
We canoot,however—we dare - not. in conscience
—support the nomination of Gen. Taylor, until we
know his views on the Mexican War and the fur
ther extension of slavery."
The Perinearilk (Lake county) Telegraph says:
We'are in favor of 'a union of the Whigs for
the sake of the Union,' if it can be done consist
ently; but the people in thiwart of the state are tsx:s
well established in their opinions upon the great is
sue now pending 'to waver. !ley canner, they
will not support any man who is not opposed to the
farther aggressions of the slave power upon the
nghts.of the North.
"The times are portintions, and it behooves the
whigs At' Lake county to act! We therefore call
upon the whig,s of the county, and-all who are op
posed to the extension of slavery and the addition
of slave states, to meet at the Courthouse ifn Paines
ville; on Saturday the 11th inst., to consitfer the pres
ent (Irma in public affairs."
The Lafayette (la.) Journal, June 10, says:
" The nomination of Gen. Taylor is a disgrace to
the Convention, and an insult to the intelligence and
virtue of the American people.
-Mr. Fillmore is a good man and would have
been a thousand times better selection for President
than: Gen. Taylor.
"The Whig party is basely betrayed--ay. sold to
the (Southern sla!re driver.; and it remains to be
seen hove far the ram:3w or Tao NciaTo will rati
fy the bargain.
"For ourself,. 'sink or swim, lire pr die, WI Ant

Ain enthusiastic meeting of the Whigs of Natick ,
was held June 12th, to welcome Henry Wilson,
their delegate. They resolved,
"That we, the Whigs of Natick, are norao far
degraded as to give the lie to all our past irtifee.
%ions t to acknowledge ourselves knaves. hypocrites
slaves and fools, for the sake of a Whig victory,
whleh'would be a whi* victory in name, but not in
tie t; and we do theref o re repudiate the nomination
of chary Taylor, and will do our utmost to de
feat his election.
That if the questions of Currency, the Tariff,
Internal Improvement, ikc-, are to be given up, they
mtist, as far as we are concerned, be sacrifiLmd to
the causeof Freedom, and not to the cause of Slave
ry, and we believe that such sacrifice is dictated by
hunianity and sound policy.
*That our thanks are due to the Hon. Charles
Allen and Hon. Henry Wilson, for the promptness,
boldness . , and ability they displayed, in asserting
our rights, and defending our principles at the Na
tional Convention, and we trust that they will be
sustained. by an overwbehning majority of the whigs
of Massachusetts.
That we approve of the call fur a state Conven
tion, t 9 be bulden at Woreaster on the 28th instant,
for the purpose of organizanu an opposition OD the
Taylor ticket, and we rceounnend the• holding of a
Nationa' Conventton, forthwith. f.r the nomination
of caudidafes for President and Vice riesidetu."'
The &neat Fall (N. .) Courier says :
t• We Oran not support Gen. Taylor—
" lA. Because his nomihrationnt nut bindin2 up

can clatin no such stihnsittsion from others:

down the resolution declaring opostuon to' the ex

The It terra, Star, (Lebanon, Ohio,) the old, lead

Corwin resides, utterly repudiates Gen. Taylor, in a
lung and able article. It sap

some at thu place."
A correspondent of the Boston Whig,Writing from .
Leicester,lnne lath, says:
"The Whic of this town are indignant at the
result of the Natiimal Convention, and ill mistake
not, will never, in any considerable numbers, sub,.
mit to it. We number two hundred acid 'filly whiz, .
