PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, DECEMBERZ
1171'he fifteen whigr are evidently 'sick and tired'
•of the Deacon, and are anxious to get rid of him as
-soon as possible. We obsetwew loospasticle from one
of them in the Gazette of yesterday, -trying te per-
Amide the wings to iht the other organ, of their party
Niarws;" and to laiish their favory on the paper that
Frayed the peat "embodiment" to btr an qimmoral
and profane man" a dueliiit," and a “debouchee."—
rWe do not believe that this is done fleas any love
*bat the renowned fifteen whigs entertain for the Dee
-conifer hundred.' bf Whigs have told us that his fol.
tiierwere the heaviest weights the party had to carry
in the late contest, but they want to get -sill at him
altogether, and they think that.if they "suck" the
Tarty into supperting‘him, they will get clear cf the
wespenaibilitymbieh they so foolishly assumed, when
'they thought it important to advance the proper kind
of animists to induce the Deacon to turn a seiner
set into the Clay ranks.
We doubt iamb if tne "fifteen" will aneeeod in this
attempt to "sitarvi" "fur The parpose of greas
e/0g White, and they willyeatocl that the Whig party
is toaatsnairtgwo Inv for the bad bargainof a few of tbe
IbluDderingleaders.
Airr The Editor of the Gazette-says we were cow
vitiled to denounce the advertisemeatof a certain firm
its's"tliek of trade:" If this were true, (and the edi
tor knows its falsity.) it would be netbing compared to
the unspeakable degradation incurred by one who was
in vced or compelled to support for the highest office
;in'- the world, a man he had denounced as a "de-
Ansuckee;" a "duelist," and "'immoral and profane."
IrgrThe alter of the Gazette wrote a leading eili-
Aerial article au Wednesday, of nearly Italia column in
length, through gratitede to a Dry Goods house, for
inserting an advertisement for one week in 'his columns.
Truly, the Deacon is atry thankful for small favors.
THa•I?RbI?FT STATE OF COBA.—There•is an in
•teresting artioleinthe last Democratic Review, with
'this tide. It is based on, and embodies a Memorial
%tut the situation of the Island, written by a native of
rCuba, and -"one-Of.tite most.intelligent accomplished"
-of its inhabitants.
The article in the Review induces us to regard the
-situation of Cuba, as peculiar and interesting. The
' , white population of the Island is less than 250,000,
- -and.they are subjected to an annual tax of more than
`12.000,000 Spanish dollars. The Review says that
"no such extent of taxation was ever heard of before
, an aux age or country." (f this vast amount but very
little As expended in the country. The roads are
itad,and there are scarcely any schools—nearly the
whole amount being sent to the Treasury at Madrid.
'The policy pursued by Spain towards her rich colony,
is illiberal in the extreme. She has denied to its citi.
;ens the right or-representation in the CortesTered
- indicates,iry her witelepelicy, that she •wishes only to
--derrlverevesee from Cabe, and isetterly indifferent to
sarerights and welfitreef the catmists, 441.1814 as they
'can py the taxes *be requires. • •
The dangers and difficulties-if the inhabitants of
vile Island, arise chiefly if not wholly, from the exten
sive Slave Trade carried on, and from the injudicious
...and we may say unscrupulous interference of Great
Britain to break it down. She had inthiced Spain, to
wencemce the Slave Trade by formal treaty ; but that
power, whose necessities make the profits derived from
rthe infamous traffic of great importance to her treasu
ry, has evaded and disregarded her stipulations with
Great Britain, and under the pretence that the import
ation of slaves is of vital importance to the island, she
permits the traffic to go on, and receives $8 upon every
imported negro. It is, perhaps, in retaliation for the
-disregard of treaty stipulations by Spain, that British
agents, no doubt with the appoval of the Govern-
Anent, have fomented servile insurrections in the colts
-my. The memorial above alluded to, represents Mr.
j'earraerr., late British Consul at Havana, as the
leader of the late slave conspiracy, and provisional
tuber of the island, in case of its success.
The author of the memorial concludes that the
- safety of the island demands the immediate and effec
tual suppression of the Slave Trade. He says that,
rstrArwithsumiling the great encouragement given to the
..immigration Of white laborers, in the five years from
3835 to 1839, there estered at-the port of Havanna
- only 35,203 white passengers, whilathere wereianded
•-clandestinely,wa thetoast of the western department
- only, 63,000 agaves.
:'But_gloteety es is '.the political picture of the Is
•4llllgisewice the memorial, and dark as is
desti
sties seem •to we find, that like every other pie
-lure, it has, Tor some spectators, a bright side. The

Tea Ist.san or CUBA.—The Alabama steamer
heave% thiesen Sunday for Havana, and one of our con
temporaries announces the new steamer John McKim
• as dailrexpeceed from Baltimore fur the same trade.
The numerous houses of accommodation recently es
tablished in the interiorof the island, andtheimproved
• condition of those in the city, will draw much of the
winter-travelling public to that -swelter, and even a
greater number than ever of invalids who are seeking
a more sunny and genial clime than we can boast of.
We can hardly refrain from discoursing with much
rhapsody upon the beauties of Havana and the adjoin
ing country. The vast extent of the city—for the
;population numbers some 250,000 in and out of the
magnificence of its buildings—its beaati
.fai environs—its theatres—opera--society balls and
• eoncerts—its public walks and drives, daily improving
•strirdmistreasing—its glorious climate, and withal its
well organized and vigilantly -executed police regents
oioni--ell these have not failed to attract the notice
:and admiration of travellers from all parts of the world.
'Steamers run almost daily to Matanzas, Cardenas,
and lucaro, and westward to Maria and fiehialionda.
;The main rail road crosses the island to Batabanbo,
-whence a steamer proceeds to St Jago de Cuba and
- .intermediate ports, and_ thence frequent communica
,rtions offer to Jamaica, St. Thomas, &c.

inlid with such facilities for journeying over the fertile

Tie Public Lasuic of Tezas.—The Congress of
Texas, of 1839, defined the boundaries of the Repub
dirt so as to comprise an extent of 818,000 square miles
-or 203;520,000 acres. Of this amount there has been
granted by the Mexican Government, prior to the
tßevolution, and confirmed by Texas since then, 53,-
::311,367 acres. Since the declaration of independence,
the _government has granted some 5,597,356 acres,
= besides some 4,393,974 acres as bounties to the sot-
Alen of the war of Independence. To this is to be
added an issue of land scrip to the amount of 1.500,004
acres—and welave a total of 67,408,603 acres dis
',posed of. This would leave a balance of 136,111,327
- acres still unappropriated.

his (rends should have presumed to attach the names
of Messrs BAYNE, GRACE! and EtcHalum, without

MESMEI►ISM
The following from the New York correspondence
of the National Intelligencer, will be read with inte
rest by many. It has been the misfor tune of the sub
ject to which it refers, to have fallen as it were, be
tween Scylla and Charybdis. It has had the disad
vantage of being received on the one hand with the
wildest credulity, and on the other with contemptuous
skepticism; yet every one who has at all examined
the subject with an unprejudiced mind, is aware that
it abounds in physical phenomena of a kind which
demand careful investigation; as indeed is strongly
shown in the case of Miss Martineau.
The London papers by the Britannia state that Mias
Martineau, the well-known authoress, bas been highly
benefited of late by mesmerism. I have been told of
a letter from her to a friend in this country. in which
she abundantly confirms the report. She had been gi
ven over by her physicians, who told her that medi
cine could afford her no relief. She had been confi•
ned many months to her chamber, which, as she says,
she never expected to quit, "unless in tier coin."
She
She had been unable during that time to procure even
an hour's sleep, except through the aid of laudanum.
The consequence was, that both her mental and physi
cal powers were fast yielding to a painful and, as it
was believed, utterly incurable disease. At length it.
occurred to herto try mesmerism. The experiment
was made, and it was successful. Although not
thrown by it into the state of trance of which we bear
such wonders, a gentle and retreating sleep aas indu
ced, which lasted twelve hours.
On its termination, her physicians declared that such
had been the change in her whole nervous system that
they ventured to entertain hopes of a cure. The
mesmeric process was continued at various intervals;
and now the distinguished patient has so far recovered
that, from not bein; able to walk across her room, she
can, in her cwn language, "walk three miles at a time
with a relish." "I cannot be thenkfid enough," she
says, "for such a resurrection." Miss Martineau, as
all who know her admit, is not a person of a fanciful
or imaginative temperament. Her case will probably
induce many to regard with more -attention and tespect
a science, the believers in'which, although Cuvier and
La Place may be found among the number, are often
classed with Mormons, Millerites, and other fanatics.
The following intimation from , tbe London Literary
Gazette, of the present condition of this science in
London, is perfectly applicable at this moment to New
York: "Mesmerism, which has rapidly assumed a
vigorous vitality, and the reality and utility of which
have, despite the shallow wit of nnphilosophical critics,
been maintained by a number of cautious and practi
cal men, is for the moment retarded in its progress by
public exhibitors of its often painful phenomena ; and
hurried on the other hand, to a maturity that bad no
real foundation by enthusiastic followers, whose intel
lects have apparently never been trained to the severi
ty of scientific investigation." This is a brief but
sensible view of the whole matter.
Me-Fr. - Henderson convicted a short time since in the
U 8 District Court. of counterfeiting the American
coin, has been sentenced to three years imprisonment
in the Eastern Penitentiary. Wonder if Governor
Porter will parson him before he gets warm in his
nest.—Age.
We do not think Gov P. will, fur various reasons,
and especially es he.has no power in the case. lithe
Age wants to get Henderson out, it had .hotter apply
to the Governor of Goba,•or the President of Texas;
either of them have as much to do with him as Gover
nor Porter.
A KINGLY DEATH.
An ancient history of Sweden relates the'following
tale:
"King Ring hod gone down to Wikea, the gulf be
tween Sweden and Norway, to settle some disputes be
tween his tributary kings; on which occasion a great
sacrifice was numeorusly attended—amongst others,
by King Alf's danghter. from Jutland, a princess who,
fur her great beauty, was called Alfsol, or Sun. Not
withstanding his great ago, Sigurd Ring fell in love
with her, and asked berto be his wife, though the gods
had pronounced it at a sacrifice. But Alfsol's broth
ers, Alf and Inge, refused to give 'so fair a maid to
to such a -withered old man.' Ring was very angry
that his own subjects had ventured to give him such
an answer, and therefore denounced war on them af
ter the conclusion of sacrifice. Alf and Inge were
brave men; but still they feared King Ring's superior
might, and therefore gave Alfsol poison, that she might
not fall into his hands. They then advanced against
the King, but the fortune of the day sooned turned a
gainst them. Alf was cut' iown by Ragnar, who was
now with his father, and got in consequence the name
of Alfsbane. Lege fell alsmund their troops fled. Si
gurd, who bad himself been severely wounded in the
battle ordered Alfsol to be sought for; and when ha
found her cerpse,he determined to live no longer. He
therefore commanded all the dead bodies to be carried
into a ship, seated himself by the rudder in the stern,
and laid Alfsol at his side. He afterwards caused the
ship to be set on fire witheulphur and pitch, hoisted all
the sails, and steered with a steady wind out to sea,
saying ,that he would come with magnificence as befit
ted a mighty king, to Odin.' When he got without
the shores, he ran his sword through his body, and se
fell dead over the corpse of his beloved Alfsol. The
ship drove oat to sea, andperished there; but Ragner
caused his men to raise a great mound on the shore."
Pocketing ike Stakes.—The Buffalo Courier of
Monday says.: Emerson S. Gould was examined on
Saturday, and held to bail in $5OO, on a charge of ap
propriating to his own use 'money put up in a bet be
tween W. IL Lount and R. W. Brooks. and banded
to him to be deposited witithis emploners, Wynkoop

Mr. Lount (democrat) called for the stakes, it wan

T.HE ; BEST COWS.
You cannot lie absolutely certain.when you purchase
heifers, that you will lave good cows, by close atten
tion you may acquire the art pretty accurately whether
they will prove good. The first point is the udder,
if this is aotespacious or if it has not the power of
becoming so, she never will be agreat milker. Then
the color of the skin will be important; if you would
have rich milk it should be yellow, or rather a maho
gany color; but you will want good teats to draw the
milk; large teats, not standing close together, are a
good sign. These are the most important points.
As to the form of the cow, you will not choose a
large head and horns, for it costs too much to support
them: nor long legs t iso make you hold the pail up
from the ground, and to require high fences. Long
legs requires too much supperivtbey are not good
even for travelling. Choose short legged animals
whenever you have the choice, whether cows, oxen,
hot see or hogs. Choose slender necks and tapering
tails; straight backs and broad briskets. for such feed '
better and are less liable to disease. The cow's body
should be large in comparison with her head and limbs,
but it is not an.object to keep very large cows or oxen,
or horses on our farms, as a general rule. Middle
sized cows, and those below it, you akaost always find
better milkers than large cows are.
In regard to the coin'. of The body, a red or yellow,
or a yellow brindle, is as indicative as any of a good
rich inificer. You cannot always determine, by any
external marks, whether your heifer will prove a good
cow. After trying ber one summer, you can tell bet
ter, and you can then turn her of forbeef if you choose.
On purchasing, you will hate some regard to color as
a matter of fancy. Nobody wants a black cow or a
white one; and though part-colo - red COWb are endura
ble, U 9 white man buys a skunk colored horse for his
own keeping.
Mild and gentle cows are better than irriatable ani
mals, and will be more ready to yield their milk. By
close scrunity you can determine in some degree by
the countenance and the motions of the heifer wheth- ,
er she is naturally docile; yet very much depends on
her breaking—her treatment and edmation during the'
first season. Vicious treatment will make any animal
vicious; still, there is a difference of character indepen
dent of education. Examine the eye and face of the
heifer; a large mild eye with a yellow circle or halo a
round it, is a good indication. The face should not
be large; and the bones should all be small in propor
tion to the body. A large chest is evidence of good
lungs and of a hardy animal. The hips should bewail
spread, for obvious reasons.
By proper attention to selecting and breeding we
may just as well have a race of cows that will yield
ten pounds of ',utter per week as five pounds. We
know of no neat stock superior to our red Devon cat
tle—such as we meet nit!' in all parts of new Eng
land, Massachusetts Pica ghman.
The value of Literary Faine.—lnstances have oc
curred wherein the poet's or novelist's fame bee ser
ved him under circumstances of peril, and elicited
remarks of respect to genius where they were least
to be expected. The case of a distinguished Italian
poet who was robbed by bandiui, the captain of which
ascertaining from the traveller's papers who his priso
ner was, returned to him the whole of the property,
and released him with ample apolog;es, is one in point.
We remember, too, reading some time ago, in the En
glish papers, an instance of Sir Walter Scott's popu
larity serving him matetially under somewhat different
circumstances..
The author of Waverly was in London at the time
of some public procession, or, if we mistake not, a
review of troops. A military cordon was formed to
keep off the populace, when Sir Walter and friend
came up, but finding this barrier, he was about retir
ing: when he was recognised by one of the men, who,
calling out, !'Here, Sit Walter, I'll make room for yea,
sir,'' suited the action to the word, and receive him
within the lines.
Some two or three years ago, the house of James
Montgomery, the Sheffield bard, was robbed under
the followingcircurnstances. While the poet was at
tending dirioe service on Sunday evening, a man pre
sented hsinself at his residence, knocked down the
housekeeper, and plundered the house of silver plate,
among which was an inkstand that had been presented
to the poet by the ladies of Sheffield. Loud was the
uninversal execration of the hardened thief who could
thus act; and the loss was about being repaired, when
the inkstand was returned with the following note,which
we copy from the December number of Godey's La
dy's Book:
"BIRMINGHAM, March, 1812
"HONORED sin: When we robbed your house, we
did not know that you wrote such beautiful verses as
you do. I temember my mother told some of them to
me when was a boy. I found out what house we
robbed by the writing on the inkstand. Honorod sir,
I send it back; it was my share of the booty, and I
hope you and God will forgive me."
Improving Land by Green Monieres.—lt is be
lieved by score that the best kind of vegetable growth
for turning in, in the form of green manure, is Indian
corn sown broadcast. If it be intended to apply lime
to the land, it would be well to do so the fall before.—
When, as early in the spring as circumstances will per
mit, sow corn broadcast, say three or four bushels to
the acre, and as soon as it has grown as high as it can
conveniently be turned under with a deep-working
plough, turn it under, and immediately sow another
crop in the same way, turning that under as before,
but with a medium plough run crossways of the pre
vious furrow. In the Middle and Southern States,
three creptrcan thus be turned under in one season.—
It is believed that no system of manuring or renova
tion, ettcept'thu heaviest application of stable manure,
can cogrpare with thisplan kr its results. If the land
be very poor the first.crop wrH he very light; but light
as it may be, it will yet add.a eery considerable por
tion of the elements of vegetable nutriment to the
soil ; and thus the second crop Will be greatly improv
ed, and the third will be all that can the desired. It
is believed that in this way four times as much improv
ment will be effected in one season as can tby m eans
of clover in three or four years. For this purpose,
farmers in the North should use the tall kind of South
ern corn, as being of more rapid growth, and furnish
ing vastly more matter for dm soil.

THE RIGHT OF VISIT.
Great Britain and tits United States.—A very
interesting and important correspondence bas recently
taken place between Mr Everett, our Minister at the
Court of St James,and Lord Aberdeen, the British
Secretary for Poreign Alining. Its object is the"right
of search" or "right of visit," claimed by Great LW
tain, denied by ourgovernment, and finally waived by
the first. The case in qsestion is that of the Ameri
can ves-el, John A Robb, which was detained and
boarded by the British cruiser the Water Witch, and
a sailor named Hutchinson taken therefrom.
In reply to this charge Lord Aberdeen gives the
statement of Lieutenant Matson, the Commander of
the Water Witch, that he received letters from Peter
Hutchinson and two ether Englishmen on board the
John A Robb, declaring that they bad been cruelly
treated; that inconsequence of receiving this letter be
boarded the John A Robb, examined the shipping ar
tides, and that the Captain of the vessel refusing to
release Hutchinson from his employ or to give up his
clothes or wages, he (Lient Matson) dedlnedineerfer
ing. Afterwards when his boat camealongside,Hutch
ingo t ] havibg so far settled with the master as to ob
taia from him big clothes, though not his wages, got
into the boat and proceeded to the Water Witch.
MtEverett doubts the accuracy of this statement,
but insists that the conduct of Lieut AL was unwar
rantable even by birown shavving—that he had no
rightto board the American vessel under any circum
stances—and thatour government expects a reparatiou
