THE PEIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF DANIEL WE35TEP '' Thk Private Couhkkponpencr of Pakiki, Wkbktxr," which will be published by Litti.k, Hi'wn Ac Co., at Boston, about the middle of Bvwinber, fills two ocluvo voluiiieg of 550 pages each. The earliest letter in thu collection is dated in December, 17U8. when Mr. Webster was only sixteen yews old, aud the latest iu October, lij52, a few days before If, death. Large gaps intervene iu tlie correspondence of this extended period, there being, in fact, whole years in which not a letter of Mr. Webster appears, his corres pondents having neglected to preserve theni. The letters of the last und most important years of his lifo ore by far tbo most numerous and interesting. The work begins with on auttbiography written iu 1329, when Mr. Webster was 47 years of ago. The following extracts will ive an idea of its style and character : j The year following uiy birth my father re moved from bis first residenco, which wbh a log hou;e on the hill, to the river side, iu tbsj same town ; a dietitiico of three miles. Here, in the meadow laud, by the river, with rough, hifti bills haaging over, was tie scene of my earliest recollections; or, us wus said in another cuse, "Here 1 found myself." 1 cuu recollect when it was 1790 ; but cannot say thut 1 can remember further back. 1 have a very vivid impression, iudeed, of soniathin which took place some years earlier, especi ally of an "extraordinary rise in the river. 1 remember how the deluge of rain tu'at, for two davs, on the house; how all looked auxiously to see tho river overflow its banks, how the waters spread over the meadows, how the boat coming from ufar, ou the other side of the river, was rowed up till it utmost touched the door stone. How U r. U.'s great barn, bl'ty feet by twenty, full of Lay and grain, sheep, turkeys and chickeus, sailed dowu the current majestically befuie our eyes, und how we were all busy preparing to fly lo the mountaius as soon us our Louso manifest ed, a lii-poait'ou to follow Mr. U.'s barn. 1 remember, or seem to renumber all these things; 1 did, indeed, see at much of them as a chile? of five years could, for 1 thiuk it was io 17B7, but still I am of opinion that my impression is from narrative, uud not from remembrance of the vision. Plain, intelliifiblo and striking things of this kind, 1 have learued, muKo an iiupreeein j"i'is ni!.n(is iu recital, which it is dirtieult ul'ter-wa,.-d to distiujj'aUh from actual personal recollection. 1 do not remember wWu or by whom I was taught to read ; because I eaiiuut and never could recollect it time when 1 could uot read tho Bible. 1 suppose 1 was taught by my tuolhor, or by uiy elder sisters. My fathnr seemed to have no higher object in the world than to educate his children, to the full exteut of his very limited ability. No means wero within his reach, generally speak ing. but the small town schools. These were kept by teachers, 6uthciently indifi'oreiit, in the several neighborhoods of the township, each a small part of the year To these 1 was sent, with the other children. When tbo school was in our neighborhood it was easy to attend j when it removed to a more distant district 1 followed it, still living at home. While yet quite young, aud iu winter, 1 was sent daily 2$ or 3 miles to the school. When it removed slill further, my father 80tufctiiu.es boarded me out iu a neigh boring family, so that 1 could still be in the school. A good deal of this was an extra care, more than was bestowed ou my elder brothers, and originating iu a conviction o( the sleuderness and frailty of uiy com-litutiou, which was thought not likely ever to allow me to pursue robust occupation. In these schools nothing was taught but reading aud v. tiling ; aud, us to tlie,e, me first 1 generally could petfurm belter than the teacher, and the last a good muster could hardly instruct me in; writing was so labor ious, iiloome and repulsive an occupation lo me ulwuys. My masters used to tell me that they feared, ulter all, my lingers were des tined for the plough-tail. 1 muet do myself tho justice to say that, iu those boyish days, there were two things 1 did dearly love, viz: reaumg mm pujioe , Tiassion which diJ uot cease to struggle u ioi hnvlioud was over, u" ji altogether V) and iu legard to which neither 1 Iia t'iin nmru nor the vietuiia lata could be suid of either. At a verw turl day. owinir 1 believe main ly to the exertions of Mr. Thompson, the lawyer, the clergyman, uud uiy father, a very ainiill circulating library hud been bought. These iustitutious, 1 believe, about that time r.t.ivil an iuitjuUe. amoiii! other causes. rrmn th efforts of Dr. Belknap. ur Nw llnmnshire historiau. I obtained some of these books, otid read them. 1 remember the Spectator among them ; and I remember too, that 1 turned over the leaves of Addi son's criticism on Chevy Chose, for the sake ,f .,,li,.,T rnnnMCtedlv the soug. the verses r.f ufl.lnt. Iia mintea from time to time pnt.iueiQ nf rfimark. It was. as Doctor Johu sou said iu another case, that the poet was ro,t u,l tbo entie was neulecled. 1 could not understand why it was oecctssry that the author of the Spectator should take such great pains to prove that Chevy Chase was a good story ; mat was Vlie last, ining doubled. I was fond of poetry. By far the greater part of Dr. Watt's realms und Jlyms I could repeat memnriter, at ten or twelve years of age. 1 am sure that no other sacred poetry will ever appear to me so ufJ'ecting and devout. I remembor that my father brought home I torn some or the lower towns 1 ope s r,ssa, on Man, published in a sort of pamphlet. took it, und very soon could repeat it, from beginning to end. We had s4 few books thut to road them once or twice was nothing. We thought they wcro all to be got by heart. I havo thought of this frequently 6ince, when that sagacious admonition of one of the ancients f was it Tliny ?) has been quoted, legere multum non mulla. 1 remember one occurrence that shows the value then attached to books. The close of the year had brought along tho next year's almanac. 1 bis wus an acquisition. A page was devoted to each month, and on the top of each page were four lines of poetry ; some moral, souio sentimental, some ludicrous. Tho almanac came in the morning, and before night my brother and myself were matters of us contents, at, least oi 113 poetry tinu us anecdotes. Wo went to bed upon it; but awakening long before the morning light, we bad a dillerenee ot recollect. ou about one word, in the third line of April' poetry. We could not settle it bv argument, and there was no umpire. But the jact could be ascer tained bv inspection iff tlio book. I arose, grouped my way to the kitchen, lighted a candle, proceeded to a distaut room, iu search of the. almanac, found it, und brought it nwav. The disputed passage wa3 examined, I believe 1 was found to be in the wrong, and blew out uiy candle and went to bed. But the consequence of my error had well nigh been serious. It was about 2 o'clock iu the uiornintr. and iust as I was utruin troinir to sleep, 1 thought I saw signs of light iu tlie room 1 hud visited. 1 sprang out ot the bed, ran to the door, opened the room, and it was all cn tire. 1 had let fall a spark, or toadied the Ik'ht to something which had communi cated lire to a parcel of cotton clothes, they had communicated it to the lurmture, and to tho sides of the room, and the flumes had ulreudy begun to show themselves through the ceiliug, iu tlie chamber above. A pretty earnest cry soon brought the household together. By great good luck we escaped. I wo or three minutes more and we should all have been in danger of burning together. As it was, I think the house was saved by my father's presence of mind. While others went for water, he seined everything movable which was on fire, and wrapped it up in woolen blankets. My maternal grandmother, then of the age of eighty, was sleeping iu the room. At Fryebarg I fonnd another circulating library, mid made some use of it. I remember to have read, while at Fryoburg, Adam's Defence of the American Constitution, Mosheim's Ecctesiaftical History, Gold smith's History of England, and some other small ihiugs. I borrowed Blackstone's Com mentaries, also, and read, 1 think, two or three volumes of them. Here, also, I fonnd Mr. Ames's celebrated speech on the British Treaty, uud committed it to memory. From September, lHOi1, to February or March, le04, I remained iu Mr. Thompson's office aud studied the law. He was au admirable man, uud a good lawyer himself: but I wus put to study in the old way that is, the hardest book tirst, and lost much time. 1 reud Coke Littleton through without under standing a quarter part of it. Happening to take up Esiinase s Law of Nisi 1'rins, I found that I Could Ullilrrntaiul it, uud, arguing that the object of reading was to understand what was written, I laid dowu the venerable Coke tt alios in.ile reotreiulv, and kept Company for a lime with Mr. Espiuasse uud ethers, the most plain, easy and intelligible writers. A boy .if twenty, with no previous knowledge on such subjects, canuot under stand Coke. It is folly to set him on such au author. There are propositions in Coke so abstract. aud diftiuclioiis so nice aud doctrines eui biacing so muny conditions aud qualifications, that it requires un etlurt. not oniy ol a maliire mind, but of a mind both strong and nature to understand him. Why disgust and dis courage a boy by telling him that ho must break into but prolcsxiou liiiougn such a wan as this? I n-ally often despaired. 1 thought 1 uever could make myself a lawyir, anil was almost going back to tLe business of school- keepiug. A Irieuil aa reeeimy returned to me a letter, written by me to him at that me, showing uiy feelings of despondence and despair. -M r. Kspmasse, however, helped me out of thij ia the way 1 have mentioned, aud 1 have always felt greatly obliged to liiui. 1 do not know whether I read much, during this year and a half, beside law books, with two exceptions. 1 read Hume, though not for the first time ; but my principal occupa tion when not law books, was with tho Latin Classics. 1 brought from college a very scauty inheritance of Latin. 1 now tried to add to it. 1 made myself familiar with most of Tully's orations, committed to memory large passages ol some oi inein, reau ounuai, and Cassur und Horace. .Some of Horace's odes 1 translated into poor English rhymes ; they were printed; 1 have uever-seen mem Since. My uroiner was a iar ueiier a.uuu holar thau mysell, and in one of his vaca tions we read Juveual lugeiner. Jim i never mastered his style so as to reud him with ease and pleasure. At this period of my life 1 passed a great deal of time alone. My auiusetuer.ts were tisbing, and shooling, and riding : and ull these were without a coinpun iuu. 1 loved this occasional solitude then, and have loved it ever since, and love it still. I HLh tn cniilciiitilute nature, aud to hold roiiiniiinioii. unbroken ny lue presence ui human beings, wilh "this universal frame, thus wondrous fair ;" I like solitude also us favorable to thoughts less lofty.

But theu, as i knew none of the legal geutlemen, and bad no letter, this was an ottair of some difficulty. Some attempts to be received invo injei office failed, properly enough, lor these reasous; although the reminiscence has since sometimes caused me to smile. Mr. I" ore bad just then returned from i.'..i..',l mid renewed the practice of the law He, had rooms iu Scollay's building, and as yet be had no clerk. A young man, .. i;i'i,nn in Mr linrn as in v bull, under took to introduce me to him I lo logio, this would hae bten bad. Iijnonm per lynotitm Nevertheless it succeeded berev Wo ven tured into Mr. Gore's rooms, and my nnmo was pronounced. I was shockingly embar rassed, but M r. Gore's habitual courtesy of manner gave me courage to speas. x had the grace to begin wilh an unaffected apolo gy ; told him my position was very awkward, my appearance there very like an Intrusion, and that, if I expected anything but a civil dismission, it was only founded in his known kindness and generosity of character. I was from the country, 1 said ; bqd studied law for two yenrs, had como toJBoston to study a year moro ; had sonio respectable acquaint ances in New Hampshire, not unknown to him, but had no introduction ; that I had heard he had no clerk, thought it possible that ho would receive one ; that I came to Boston to work and not to play ; was most desirous, on all accounts, to be bis pupil ; and all I ventured to ask at present whs, that he would keep a pluco for me in his office, till I could write to New Hampshire for proper letters, showing me worthy of it. 1 delivered this speech trippingly on the tongim, though I suspect it was better composed "than spoken. Mr. Wore henrd mn with much encouraging good nature. He evidently saw my embar rassment, spoke kind words, and asked me to sit down. My friend had already disap peared I Mr. Gore snid, what I hod suggested was very reasonable, and roqnired littl apology; he did not mean to fill his oOicd with clerks, but was willing to receive one or two, and would consider what I hod said. He inquired, and 1 told him, what, gentlemen of his acquaintance know me and my father, in iSew Hampshire. Among others, 1 re member, 1 mentioned Mr. I'eaboriy, who wrs Mr. U orb's class mate, lie t&JkiMC -to me pleasantly, for -a quarter of an hour ; and when 1 rose to depart, be said: "My yonng friend, yon look os thongh yon might be trusted. You soy you came to study, Snd not lo waste time, 1 will take you at your word. You may as well hang up your hat, at once ; go into the other room ; take your book and sit down to reading it, and write at your convenience to New Hampshire for your eliers." I was conscious of making a gooJ stride onward, when 1 hud obtained admission into Mr. (lore's office. It wus a sitnation which ottered to me the means of studying books, and men, and things. It was on the 2()th of July, 1.404, that 1 first made myselT known to Mr. Gore; nnd although I rennined in his office only till March following, and that with considerable intervening ubsences, 1 made, as J think, some respectable progress.. n August the buprenie Court sat. 1 at tended it constantly, and reported every ono of its decisions. I did the same in the Circuit Court of tho United States. I kept a little journal ut that time, which still sur vives. It contains little beside a list of books read. In addition to books on the common and niuncipal law, J find I rend Vattcl, for the third time in my life, as is slated in the jnnrnal ; Ward's Law of Nations, Lord Bacon's Elements, l'uffcndorf's Latin History of England, Gifford's Juvenal. Boswell's Tour to the Hebrides, Mocre's Travels, And many other miscellaneous things. But my main study wirs the common law, nnd especi ally, the parts of it which relate to special pleading. Whatever was in Viner, Bacon, uud other books, then usually studied on that part of the science, 1 paid my respects 'to. Among other things 1 went through Saunders Reports, the old folio edition, and abstracted put into English, out of Latin aud Norman French, the pleadings in all his reports. It was on edifying work. From that day to thif tke forms and language of special pleas have been quite familiar to me. 1 believe I have my littlo ubbtruet yet. 1 remember one day, as I was nlone in the oBice, a man came in and asked for Mr. Gore. M r. Gore was out, and ho sat down to wait for him. He wi dressed in j.l ji n gray clothes. I went on with my book, till ne Jied me what 1 was reading, nnd coming along np to the table, I held out my book, and he took it and looked at it. "florcus," said he, "de iei7.,ti. et tinnto ;" "well I reud that book too when 1 was a boy ;" and pro ceeded to talk not only ubout "ships Biid freights," but insurance, prize and other matters ot maritime law, in a manner "to put me up to all 1 knew," and u good deal more.

I ploughed it when about ten inches high, and that was all the working it got, with the exception of as light hoeing previous to ploughing ; my object was to as-, certain the amount of snccharine matter cqrri' taiued in the italics, and supposed ,!iougS would grow to make the experiment. Many of the blocks grew from sixteen to twenty fcet high, (in the low ground it only grew twelve feet.) Having made n mill on which to grind it, I commenced on tho 24th of Sep tember. The cane then received two or three frosts, which slightly injured the taste of the water. 1 am convinced that tho amount of stalks I used can be grown on lees tbuti a quarter of an aero. The amount of water ob tained from tho piece was 270 gallons, from which I made forty-five gallons, which, in flavor and beautiful bright red color, is far superior to any molasses obtained from tho South. 1 did not try to grain any of it, ns'it will uot grain ufter being frosted; but I tint convinced there will be no difficulty in groining it, if tried previous to frost. If it is planted by the middle of Msy, it will ripen by the end of August, and remain in good condition until frost ; and if cut up and put in sheds (iu apprehension of froct) it will keep well for a month or more. "1 will give a statement of what jnny bo mude per acre, judging from the amount of wutor obtained from each stalk. One of my neighbors, Mr. A. Degan, obtained from seven choice stalks ono gallon of water, and in auother trial made by IXt. McCleary, Sr. and myself, we pressed from ten stalks one gallon aud a quart. Tho number of stalks in a hill 6hould be from four to six. In my cal culations, 1 only estimate one quart of water to the hill, ullowing sixteen hills per square rod which will make 25C0 hills to the ucrr. and this at one quart per hill, will make 640 gallons of water, which will make 110 gnllous of moiusses.

In replvto an inqui ry fn in a correspondent os to the propriety of mixing liuie with manure, the "Country Geutleinan says : Our own experience is, that limes tends rather to preserve than to dettrov vegetable fibre.
