Cobden commenced his " Anti-Corn-Law" agita
tion in 'an obscure place, with but a small number of
obseure followers; and in seven years the Govern
'Meat and People that at first opposed him so violent
cencede& all he demande& This is but a single;
"historical fact illustrative of the "axiom " Truth is
mighty and will prevail? , The manor mind ; who is•
'excited to enthusiasm by some new truthapparent
to him but not seen by his neighbors and country
mcn,—must, make immense sacrifices of personal
comfort if he dares advance towards the goal of suc
cess. The birth of every Abought and every
thing, met with violent opposition ; and wo now
look, out into the civilized world and belrbld the
thought! of the great men of the past practically re•
. alized and working for the good of mankind, and the
thingsj—labor saving machines,Sre.—put to the moat
brilliant uses. -
We were led to these rellectioni on looking over
a recent number of the "Ohio Statesman," 'when we
canna, a principle boldly set forth in a Legislative
Report which was seven years ago, as
"Agrarian, Levelling, Infidel and Wicked."
Aboutseven years ago, a men in Now. York
,city, unknown to fame and evidently without a Mit
' directed ambition, declared the "ilemested Rtemp
tion"'principle to, be one which was necssary to se
enne.the happiness of famaliesand the permanence
of the institutions of the country. They proposed
measures beyond this, but we choose to speak of this
alone, as it has been taken up, discussed, and reedit ,
ed as truth by the intelligent people of the North
and West. ,
-We have,already noticed the Homeetead Exemp
tion. Laws of Michigan and Wisconsin—and we think
one or lice of the New England States. have placed
smiler statutes upon their books. Bills exempting
the ratitili homestead from sale on execution have
been introduced into nearly all the Western States;
we have, read these of lowa, Illinois, and Indiana.
In. The Northern 'States,' Bills have been under Con
sideration for the past two yearn, and are only await
ing the farce of public opinion to put them through
the Legislotures. .
• And lastly, in Ohio, a Bill for the purpose obi's')
indicated, has been_ introduced; and sustained by
the report of, n'committee; which in arguments is
irresistible. •
We subjoin a few extracts from the Report, for
the benefit of ourreaders; and more especially for
the benefit of our Legislature at Harrisburgh.
We Seriously hope that Pennsylvania will not be
behind - her:sister States in adopting reforms 'which
are demanded by our better feelings,—by , justice
and humanity. The safety of our liberties depends
upon the virtue of the people; and virtue can. only
be insured by guaranteeing; to each and all at least
mitdintrm support. The" Homestead Exemption
Law” wilFdo no violence to any of the present in:.
stitutiOns dr..usages; it 'will do no Wrong to any
titan: It will be n siMple_ change for the' better
without causing thoiejkains which accompany most
'transitions. • - •
Buthcre are our extracts:
The object of law is to promote public:: happieess
-.-the sufferers from judiciat'sales form a large por
film of the mostnutnerOus class of citizen"; small
timers and traders, artisans, mechanicsrmanufec
torero and laboring rnen;,in towns and cities;. and
upon'theSelall most frequeetly and with greatest
severity, the inevitable calamities ofyour race, such
as disease, pestilence, revolsiorm of trade, corn
mercy and manufactures: . Thehappitiess of this nu
therOus class should not be• contingent upon - the
chafices of health or public prosperity. To isecure
their , independence, the roof that shelters them,
should not be at the mercy orin employer, who, by
withholding work can deprive them of. bread, - take
away their borne, and force' them asunder, to seek
shelter where it may be found--or at the mercy of
a creditor, who may force it to Sale, and buy it him-,
self, et a mere nominal price.
The,heinestead, then, should .be a place of ref
ttge, where the poorrind weary may lay his head;
with none to make him airaid—an altar, where fam.
ily love may, alwayaburn—a castle where the op
pressor may not approach . Give-permanence to
the poor mans home, and he will be virtuous and

grow and expand; without it they mustperish. So
that security to the homestead is one of the great
est ideas to, be realized , for the improvement of our
But, to return from thisdigression.. The exemp
tion Of the 'family: Homestead from' judicial sales,
seem% to be a measure demanded by justice and hu
manity; as wellzis the progressive' spirit of the age.
How to realize it by practical effect, seems atfiret to
be: iffietilt.. But, under the Ohio Laws, it is a ques
tion of easy t caution, and. the measure may he cai
ried out in perfect harmony - with 'existing laws, with
very-slight additional provisions. The first step is
to render it equal to all , who may read its provisions.
SOme Standard must therefore be adopted: tindriti
ty of land cannot form the measure, because the
value-varies. The value 'of the Homestead must
therefore be measured by money, the universal stan
dard.' Six hundred dollars will be found an.average
valne of the Homesteads intowns and , country, for
traders, faro:ere, mechanics, manufacturers and la=
borers, needing this protection. This sum may
therefore be considered as a standard.
As. the law cannot bedew property, but only se
cure its possession, the , fact must first be ascermined
that the property proceeded against is the Family
Homestead, and also its value: This can_ be done
by the same inquest and proceedings, by which, un
der existing laws, _ lands are appraised before sale.
If the property.be a Homestead, and not exceeding
the value affix hundred dollars, the fact beieg found
under'oath and officially returned, the law may there.
fore declare its exemption from sale. But the rights
of debtors and creditors depending upon these find
ings, it shall be subject to full investigation in open
court, upon cause shown by either party.- By this
means security, may be furnished to the debtor, and ,
justice, to the creditor, in accordance with the pro
:visions of law.
,
But it may often happen that the Homestead ex
ceeds eight hundred dollars in value. Li the debtor
then unprotected I By, no means. In such cases,
the property will generally be capable of division.
So.much, therefore, may be set off for the, Mime
stead, as will equal the standard adopted, leaving the
residue for sale. '
It may sometimetimes happen that no division can
take place: In such case, the debtor can claim no
protection, because if he was allowed to' retain it
all, the Homestead exemption might be the means of
injustice, and perhaps fraud;'and besides, it is debt- .
or , s own act, that from pride, luxury, or other mo
tive, he has chosen to adopt as a homestead, what
the lavi ,cannot, without injustice, protect. The
law; ,cati seldoin provide , for every 'case, and the
practical legislator will only seek to obtain the lar
gest practicable amount of good. He will not, or
eaould not, be deterred from doing what is in his
power, because he cannot obtain universal good.
Thelaw ahould, therefore, provide that where. the
property exceeds six hundred dollare in value; an
allotment shall be made by thcommeofficers, where
!tali he done so as to afford protection. To secure
justice'to both debtor and creditor; this Allotment is
subject tethe revision of the Court..
It is not - only ,during lifetime that the Homestead
should be protected. , After death, by existing laws,
his real estate is - subject to sale for debt, by admin.
istraters. And it ia a singular inhumanity of the
law, that when death'removes the head of a family,
his wife and children shall have no longer a roof to

The elements of true Democracy are displayed ,
With more force and elearfiess in the followinge.X-:
tract from a speech recently delivered by Lamar
tine, than in all the labored treatises on political
economy ever written. It is the fire ot Omnipo
tent Truth bursting through the channels' , of a
grand and majestic intellect to allumine the, be
minds of men and light the oppressed and
down-tordden nations of the earth to the realize
tion of that glorious desiny f in prospect, of exalted
mental and. moral excellence, and a consequent
fraternization, on ths golden principle of '"one
manity."—One Universal Brotherhood:
- Pecipfe! God atone is soverign,:because healone
infallible, just, good and perfect.
:Human reason is the reverberation of God upon
mankind:
Human reason, originated • from God, inspired
by God, the minister of God in us, is the only le
gitimate sovereignty of nations.
In the infancy of a people's existance, its intel
ligence is but little developed to enableit to govern
itself by the authority of reason alone. It is ruled
by tutors, conquerors, masters, tyrants, depots, by
absolute kings limited in their authority by laws,
councils, and aristocracies—in a word by mixed
constructions. In proportion as the reason of the
rople grows, Itheityincreasei with it; thenjustice
with liberty; then equality, that realization of jug
tine: then spiritual brotherhood, that perfection of
equality, which makes of a nation one family, and
of all these families one humanity.
The reign of God thus manifests itself more and
more upon the nations, till these masters, these
tyrants, despots, kings, these constitutions person
ified in a dynasty, disappear, and the spiritual soy.
ereignity occupies their place. Then God reigns
over us without intermediary than our reason.
You see then t this is, in principle, the direct rule
of God. The reign of God, by the reason of all, is
called the Republic. We now found the Republic.
The _Republic is the government which has the
greatest need of the continuous inspiration and
benediction of God; for if the reason of the people
is dimmed, or led astray, there is no longer any
sovereign there is an interregnum, anarchy, and
death.
That a constitution may be durable and merit
the sanction of religion, it must contain a princi•
pie true, new, divine, l'ar better applied in the gov
ernment of empires. , Without this, it is 'a code
of laws—it is soulless, lifeless, fruitless.
This new principle of the Republic is the polit
ical equality of all classes of citizens.
The expression of this principle is universal suf
frage; the result of this principle is the sovereignity
of all; the moral consequence of this principle is
the brotherhood of all. Never until now, since
the promulgation of the gospel, has human reason
written in a law a sovereignty more rational, more
universal, more legal.
We all reign in the measure of our reason ofour
intelligence, our wisdom, our virtue we are all
kings - of ourselves and the Republic!

the time when the cultivation of the Tea Plant and

commercial purposes into this State, and, I may add,
into the United States.
The first seed tvas sown, or rather planted, in this
town on the lath andlath instant . . In consequence
of the.delay in transportation front Columbia, the
plants did not arrive here until Saturday evening, the
.23d instant. -In the mean time a small -lot of land
was taken, and the necessary preparatory measures
provided, to be in readiness for their .immediate
planting. Yesterday, one case, containing eighty
planti, was put out, all in good condition. Another
case was opened, and a dozen plants taken out, to
completelbe rows, of them fbur were of doubtful
vitality, and were placed in the infirmary to nurse
The weather is foul to-day, and the planting of the
remaining five hundred plants will be continued as
soon as the weather will permit,aed will not occupy
more than two or three days. • Yours, truly,

It is well known thatiforriflonttime, a eetallui
iifthe Empire has beetrin - ciatrractef
l' - b4rirder zof the SublimePerta.bi'meiimi of agents
eppainted ad hod., who vie4uitke most distant and
most inaccessible regions, 'in prosecution of this
object. Doctor Brunner, an European physician,
in the service of his Imperial Majesty, is one ot
these agents. Acting. as a' member of the
mittee employed to explore the saudjak of Bosouk,
(on the borders of Pontus,•Cappadocia, and Gala
tia) in Asia Minor, in -fulfilling his mission, be
made a discoyery, which will undoubtedly interest
all thosawho are engaged in' studies f relating,to
history and archeology. M. Brunner has exam
ined all the ancient and modern histories relating
to Asia Minor, in none of which does he find the
least trace of his fortunate discovery.
On the 15th of September, at Yunkeni, a subter
ranean village, (sandjak of Bosouk) M, Brunner,
whose bold and singular labors in the solid rock
attracted attention, was accosted by a villager,
who offered to show the doctor some interesting
things, if he would consent to follow him to the
other aide of the mountain. Surprised at the,obli
ging offer made him by an individual who saw a
frank for the first time (for as the inhabitants of
Yunkeni say, one had never appeared iu the vil
lage before,) Mr. Limner hesitated a moment, and
then replied to his officious cicerone that he was
ready to follow him. The doctor returned' to his
lodgings, took his weapons, in case of need, and
accompained by his servant, put himself at the dis
position of the villager, who after a half hour's
march, led him' to the promised land—and, on tur
ning
from the mountain which bad been pointed
out to him, the doctor found himself, to his great
surprise, before the ruins of a considerable city.—
, These coins are situated at the southeast of the vil
age of Yankeni, and at the north of the village of
Tscheque, which are about half a league distant
from each other.
The City was situate half a league beyond Kis.
el Ismek, and its ruins extend along the mountain
to which the villagers in the neighborhood give the
name of Kali Dagh, and encircle it, stretching up
to the summit of Kale Deressi.
The site of the city is half .a league in length.—
There are to be seen there sevsn temples with cu
polas, two hundred and eightpen houses, some in
good preservation, others half filled with ruins,
and vast fragments of rock detached from the top
of the mountain, which forms a line parallel to the
city, and overlooks it in its whole length. Some
houseshave several compartments of;three, four and
six rooms. The temples are also flanked with
rooms on their aides, the largest of these edifices
measures twenty feet in length and twenty-eight
in breath. Mr. Brunner could not judge exactly
of the height of the others, as they are more or
less fillea with earth, tut judging from the height
of the side doors, which are some of them half
and others three quarters covered up, several of
these temples must have been at least t xenty or
thirty feet high.
It appears that they all had formerly the interi
or wall covered with plaster, which has, for the
most part diaappeared. For the rest, no sign, no
emblem, no indication appears to give any light
on the origin and date of the foundation of the city.
All attempts made by Mr. Bonner at gaining in
formation on this subject were fruitless. The only
answer he could obtain from the people in the
country, was: Mali?. don raboa, that is, these are
monuments of the infidels.
Some old people, however, recollect to have seen
birds end trees, painted in fresco on the walls,_
Mr. Brunner has attentively examined the city,
of which it is hoped archeologists may, before
long, give us the name. As a studious and con
scientious observer, he declares he has found noth
ing which throws light on the matter. •
We forgot to mention that in sorneoftbe houses
Mr. Brunner found very well made stone jars, of
the height of a man, which on being struck by an
iron or wooden instrument, gave a sound exactly
like that of a bell, but 'that they had not the slight
est ornament upon them from the bottom to the
mouth.
Management of roystor,

the cheapest and best mode:of managing poultry,
and the question is not always satisfactorily an
swered. The most perfect mode is to hove' fine
airy, well-lighted poultry-house, connected with
an ampel, well termed yard. Hens may be also
kept confined three.quarters of the day itt a poul
try house only, if it isfally lighted and cleaned dai
ly, without the addition of the yard, with a run of
an hour or two in the adjacent grounds, before go•
to roost. The third and more common way, it to
let them run at large at all times, picking up what
they can find forsubsistence. Each of these modes
has its advantages and objections.
1. The advantaets of a house and yard are,—
the hens are perfetly provided with food, and room
for exercise, and all the other camforts of life with
out interfering with other parts of the premiums.
The disadvantages are the cost of the house, the
cost of a high, picketed yard fence, and the' land
occupied where the yard is large, as it must be; to
answer properly the intended purpose; besides the
expense and care of providing a constant supply
of food and water.
2. The tuivantages of a house without a yard are,
the expense of a large yard is avoided; and the
intrusion of the hens elsewhere is entirely prevent
ed; asduring the short interval of their liberation
each day, they pass hastily through garden or oth
er grounds, picking only insects, and avoiding
scratching, and returning of their own accord to
their resting places for the night. The objections
are, the indispensable necessity of a well aired,
welt lighted, perfectly clean house, requiring large
windows, care in ventilation, daily sweeping, and
frequent white-washing internally. A constant
supply of food and water must be given. This
mode is also apt to cause hens to eat thefresh eggs
as well as to render thern.less prolific.
3. Suffering hens to run : at largereleases the
owner from all care in feeding them. They pick
up refuse matter from the kitchen and elsewhere,
devour insects and the seeds of weeds growing in
waste grounds or unfrequented places. ,I3ut there
are several objections to this mode of management
or .rather: absence of management.' Being com
pelled to pick up their own living, they often pick
in the wrong - place, and pilfered grain and uproot.
ed graden seeds are the result They often choose
wrong places for roosting, as the backs of carriage
seats, over saddles, and on farm tools; to the se
rious annoyance of the owner. Bometimes, too,
a large nest of, eggs is spoiled, in consequence of
being located in some unknown hiding plaie.
Each of these modes having its merits and dis
advantages, it becomes necessary to .choase be.
tween them. This choice must be made Accor
ding to circumstances. - Those who wish to raise
poultry and eggs in large quantitiesifor market,
and those who do not regard the cost of vyhouse
and yard, and who can procure plenty,'Of feed,
should choose the first mode. The secon'd inay be
adopted in villages, or where little land can be af
forded, and where at the same time there is some .
person in the family to give nearly constant atten
tion to their wants, to see they are well supplied
with food and water, that strict cleanlines is uni
formly preserved, and that the eggs are secured
before they are devoured by the hens themselves.
The third is more applicable to large farms, where
the barn is remote from the garden, and where the
carriage house, granary, tool house, &c, may be
entirely excluded from their visits, and consequent
defilement. There is so much refuse matter a•
round barns which they pick up as food, that far.
mars may usually have a dozen or two of bens
• with scarcely any cost whatever. It will, bowev
er, be found every great convenience, which we
wish here strongly to recommend, to haVe a small
apartment for their accommodation at night, built
as a lean•to on the south side of the barn, and pro
perly lighted with winch:ma. If this opens into
the inner part of the barn, and also to the barn
yard, they may at any time pass out to either place
unrestrained; and as BOOR as they becomeaccus
tamed to their lodging, they will at once resort
there without any trouble, or without any danger
of annoying the farmer by depositing their slime
elsewhere.. Where a , hen-house without a yard
has been built is is often difficult to induce the
hens in winter to frequent it, a difficulty which
would vanish if they could pass • to it freely and
immediately from the ban they frequent during
the day. ,
Hens may often be easily,confine to the barn
yard, by:a row of short pickets set. on
_the high
tight knee which surrounds the cattle. yard.=-41-

Cot Illack concluded his address as follows:
All this refers to the past ";,let" us now, in condo.
Sion, look to the future. The chief of sinners here
and the first object of vengeance, appeantto be the
Young girl Miranda Hollander." She whom the wit
nesses say has lived a virtuous, peaceable. add hard
working life. The same from whose industry her
mother,- a widow, and three little childred, derive

have been found guilty of a riot in attempting to as.

Court is that you:pay a fine of fifty dollars to the
Commonwealth, that you undergo an •imprisenment
in. the jail 'of Allegheny county for and during the
term of three calender months,, that you pay the
costs of prosecution and stand committed till this
sentence be complied with. The costs are heavy;
the witnesses have all filed their bills—Logan and
Kennedy amongst the rest. Sixtp.two and a half
cents a day and mileage from Allegheny to Pittsburg.
All, all. of it utkin from the destitution of the deso

The children can go shoeless to the street and sop

a goodly fkortion. Who dare wag his tongue;when
justice meets thus haply the exigency of the times.
Ter. Catasonnturs.--Another small party left on
Saturday for California: Andrew Id. Swaney, Fore
man in this office, and D. H. Russell. Thtiy are to
join Curry's company, in New York, anti proceed
together around the Cape.
Ankrim's overland company numbers about one
hundred, and is composed of some of the best men
in the county.
It is a fact, somewhat prophetical of the future
destiny of California, that all who are going are of
blameless character.: We do not know one who
will not make an excellent citizen of the new coon

- A very fair proportion of the immigrants are prin
ters! Many physicians and literary men are on their
way and preparing to start. Workers in lion, gold,

result .was an almost fatal stab in the abdomen of one
of them, - Mr. Holley, by a knife 'in the hand of Ed..
