The Plough, Loom and Anvil.
EDITED BY J. S. SKINNER & SON
To the .Friends qf Jigreculture, Manufac
tures, and all the useful branches
of dmerican Industry.
The object of this. work is not merely to
amuse its readers with accounts of extraordi
nary crops from single acres, and prodigious
weights of bullocks, sheep, and hogs. No !
—Though the purpose is to keep the reader
advised'of all really new and valuable dis
coveries and improvements in the imple
ments and animals employed in agriculture,
and in the processes and principles of Hus
bandry in all its*various branches, this is not
all. If it were, the single word PLOUGH
might sufficiently indicate that purpose; but
the fact is far otherwise. By adding to it
the .LOOM and the ANVIL, the Editors
design at once to indicate that, in, their belief,
the Plough never has, nor ever can prosper
so well. as when the Loom and the Anvil
are at work as, near to it as the nature of
things will admit; and therefore, that the
Planter and the Farmer ought heartily to
unite to cause the establishment of an effi
cient and permanent policy, selch as will
draw around them, not only the Loom and
the Anvil, but the Saw, an'd the Trowel, and
the Lapstone ; the Coal Heaver and the
Iron Monger—in order that those engaged
it t,i
in cultivating the s ' may save in the sale
of their produce bo time and labor, for the
enrichment of their ands and themselves,
But this is not the place to go into algu•
ments to prove these positions. res
pectfully solicit those to whom our be!..t days
have been devoted, to study the subject in the
pages of the work we offer ; for, of all class
es of society, this question of Protection or
Free Trprle. is most important to those whose
interest it is to multiply prosperous consu2n
ers, not • rivals, in the production of the
fruits of Agriculture.
The Terms are in advance—s 2 each.
where five unite—Ss for two subscribers,
and $3 for a single one.
Sixty-four pages monthly, printed in the
best style, and on the best paper. The work
is stereotyped, and back Nos. can always be
supplied.
Postmasters, Country Merchants, Manu
facturers. and all others who take an interest
in the prosperity of American Industry, are
requested to act as agents on the above
'terms.

The Character of Capt. Sutter.
The Home Journal gives the following
graphic sketch of Capt. Sutter, (pronounc
ed by hlinse:i Sooter.) this means, the fort
hearing his name, and a few facts in relation
to the gold region. Ile is about 52 years
of age, of middling height, straight form,
and possesses that symmetry and smallness
of hand and foot which Lord Byron sets
down as a sure. evidence of gentle blood.
In manners and conversation, Capt. Sutter
is a perfect Chesterfield ; he is well educa
ted, and speaks 'several different languages
fluently ; he iv( native of Switzerland, and
was one of the officers of the Swiss Guard
in the'Revolution of July, during the reign
of Charles X. After this Revolution, he
emigrated to the United States, became nat
uralized and resided several years in Mis
souri ; thence, in 1830, he came to Califor
nia, and obtained a grant of ninety miles
square of land from the -Mexican authori
ties—his title is a conditional one, and may,
hereafter, create trouble for him. In his'
private character Capt. Sutter is kind, hos
pitable and generous. In fact, his generos
ity frequently lays him open to be preyed
upon by the idle and worthless. When
asked why he permitted such large demands
upon his hospitality without a recompense,
he replied: "What can I do, sir—they
come here, eat, drink and sleep; and some
times without even thanking me—but what
can I do? I cannot turn them out in the
wild forest." Surrounded as he was, on
his first settling in this country, by tribes of
wild Indians, he has, by kindness and just
dealing, attached them to his interest, and
he now has from three to four hundred of
these indians devoted to him and his party.
They, for their food, and a pay from four to
six* dollars per month, man -his fort, work
his farms and mills, and do all the labor
generally rquired in new settlements. Capt.
5,.. 1,2
Sutter, with iill-bi landed and other prop
erty, is subjeCted many annoyances.
When the Russians, through necessity,
abandoned their sett) molts at Ross and
Bodega, COL Sutter purchased their stock,
cannon, furnitu re,&c., and transported them,
with great labor', to his settlements at New
Helvetia. This purchase was effected for a
consideration of 5:30,000, to be paid in an
annual installment of wheat, deliverable to
one of the Russian Fur Company's vessels.
The installments, owing to the unfortunate
seasons, have kid over for some years, and,
shouid a Russian vessel appear at this junc
ture, his large crop will be swept away at a
mere noininal value.
Sutter's Fort, now called Fort Sacramen
to, is situated a short distance from the
southern . bank of the American Fork, on
one of the tributaries of the Sacramento, five
miles from its mouth and 120 miles from San
Francisco. The fort is in form of a paral
lelogram, 500 feet in length by 150 in
breadth.
The walls and houses sre built of the oft
mentioned mud brick or adobe. Bastions
at the armies. with cannons, mounted, pro
tect all sides, and numerous guns project
from the mud walls. Oh the inner side,
(acing the court, are numerous buildings,
occupied as store-houses, dwellings, and
barracks for the garrison. l'he main store
house was rented, during the fever of gold
digging, at 83000 per month. , The garrison
of the fort being more trusty men, are bet.
tor IA and clothed than the farm Indians.
The crop of .cheat raised by Capt. Sutter,
y-ar 1819 Was upward of 30,000
wi is valued at the round stint
is the proceed from the
in; IP,:z, rude frdians. He has also
erected mills for 2rinding w'leat and sawing
tiinher, and it was in the construction of a
dam and race for a saw4iiillilitt one of the
persona in his employ, at first discovered the
gold.
The Fight at 14'0 Hollow.
The witness for the prosecution in this
case was a little short Dutchman, with a
red face, turn up nose and carroty head;
his vest was exceedingly short, and so were
his pantaloons at both ends, exhibiting be
tween the waist band of one, and the lower
edge of the former, a broad streak of red
flannel shirt, his stumpy red bands were
stuck in his pockets, and his little eyes
which were not red, ran around the court
room and seemed to say, "I' (the owner of
the said eyes,) em the crack-witness for the
prosecution."
"Now, sir"—said the District Attorney,
"I want you to tell all you know about the
fight'at Bigg's Hollow:"
Witness.—Well, you see, I knows all
about it. The mornin' of the fight, when
I was in bed you see, I turns round to Molly,
and says Molly. She says, Tom. Bays I,
Molly, guess I'll get up. Says she, Tout, I
guess you'd better. -So you see I gets up
and— , •
• Judge.—This has nothing to do with the
.fight.
W.—Well, Judge, I must tell •m own
way : and now if you interrupt me I carh
do it.
J.—Well, then, go on.
W.—Well, you see, the morning of the
fight, when I was in bed, 'I turns round and
says, Molly, Molly. Says she, Tom. Says
I, Molly, I guess I'll get up. Says she, Tom,
I guess you had better.
Jt'—:Stop, air, I don't want to hear all this
nonsense, confine yourself to the fight.
W.—Well, Judge, if you interrupt me,
'tan% tell you anything about it ; It's a way
I've got.
.I.—Well, then, go on, for heaven's sake,
andget through.
W.—Well, then you see, the mornin of
the fight, when I was in bed, I turns round
and says, Molly. Says she, Tom. Says
Molly, I guess I'll get tup. Says she, Tom,
I guess you'd better. So (now don't inter
rupt me, Judge,) I gets vp, and takes my
boots from under the stove--
J.—Stop witness.
W.—There, now, you interrupt meagain.
I can't tell you anything about it if you in
terrupt me.
Y.—Then go on.
W.—Well, air, you see the martini of the
fight—
J.—(ln a rage,)—Sheriff t take that tun
out!
Exit Witness, with his finger to his nose.
"I guess you didn't make much out of this
child."
Wouldn't Marry a Mechaic.
A young man commenced visiting a young
woman, and appeared to be well pleased.—
One evening he called when it was •quite
late, which led the girl to inquire where he
had been.
had to work to-night."
"Do you work for a living? inquired the
astonishedgirl.
"Certainly," . replied the young man—"l
am a mechanic."
"My brother doesn't work, and ii.dislike
the name of a mechanic ;" and •she turned
up her jretty little nose.
That was the last time the young me
chanic visited the young woman. - He is
now a wealthy man, and has one of the best
of women for his wife. The young lady
who disliked the name of a mechanic, is now
the wife of a miserable fool—a regular va
era nt about grog shops—and she, poor mis
erable girl, is obliged to take in washing,
in order to support herself and children.
You dislike the name of a mechanic--
whose brothers do nothing but loaf and dress
—beware how you treat young men who
work for a living. Far better discard the
well fed pauper, with all his rings, jewelry,
brazeness, and pomposity, and take to your
affections, the callous•handed, intelligent and
industrious mechanic. Thousands have
bitterly regretted their folly, who have turn
ed their backs on honest industry. A few
years of bitter experience have taught them
a lesson. In this country, no man or woman
should be respected, in our way of thinking,
who will not work bodily or mentally, and
who curl their lips with scorn when intro•
duced to a hardworking man.
THE FRIOATE Bran.—The follow'. is
the account given by the Bishop of or
wich at the late meeting of tha Ipswich Mu
seum. of Natural History. He had sent to
the Museum - that day a specimen of the fri
gate bird—which was literally a tenant of
the air; it lived in the air, slept in the air,
and never Came to the shore except in the
