The Interior of Africa,
El
AM
Of the interior .of Africa,. but little ,is
yet known—let enough is'ltnewn:to show
thi3, 4 6l6ltienta' of vest prosperity, and to
prove thatunder the kindly influence of
Christian civilization, a large portion of
Africa may ultimately become one of the
!nest favored regions of the globe.
The explorations of the brave and en
thusiastic Mungo Park, commenced in 17
95-6. - Je de . cendea into the heart of Af
rica froni the northward, and discovered'
the river Niger, which had previously
been known to Europeans only by rumor
and tradition. His triumph was gained
through trials and sufferings. He was
previonsly taken prisoner by the Moors.—
Dismissed from his confinement almost in
a state of nudity, ho felt overjoyed that ho
was once more at liberty to continue his
Ho discovered the river nt about 2,000
miles from its mouth, and found, to his
surprise, that its course was westerly, and
not easterly, as had
,teen by many conjec
tured, and ,that it emptied into the Atlan
tic, in the Golf of Benin, on the west coast
of Africa. "I ran along the shore of the
river," says he, "I drank of the water,
and returned fervent thanks to the Sover
ign Master ofthe universe."
In 1805, 'Mungo Park, together with 45
companions, made a second partial explor
ation of the Niger. Forty-one of these
men fell victims to the climate. Park and
his four fellow-survivors, were attacked
by a band of natives, armed with bows
/ and arrows, and after an ineffectual strug
gle they were drowned in the river, into
which they hadplanged,in order to escape
from the foe.
Since the days of Mungo Park, but lit
tle information, with the exception of what
relates to the Niger and its shores, has
been produced concerning the interior of
Africa. We will, however, take a few
facts from the account of an expedition
sent to explore this almost impenetrable
region, under the auspices of the British
government, in 1841.
The expedition consisting of three ves
sels, severally commanded by Captains
Trotter, William Allen, and Mr. Bird Al
len, and its history has lately been pub
lished in England. On the 26th of March,
1841, they reached Aboh, about one hun
dred and eleven miles distant from its
mouth. The next morning, Obi Osai, the
king of the country, went on board of Cap
tain Trotter's vessel, with so numerous a
retinue, that it was necessary to dismiss
some of them for the sake of convenience.
Obi was arrayed in the uniform Coat ofan
froms
English sergeant, obtained froome for
mer. navigator, scarlet pantaloons, and a
sugar-loaf shaped hat, placed jauntily on
one side of his head. When the ques
tions and answers between him and the
commissioners had become somewhat mul
tiplied, Obi told them plainly, "he did not
like to talk too long." It must be observ
ed that the negro king had in some meas
ure the advantage, in this conference, o
ver his visitors, for in reply to their pro
posing that he should altogether renounce
the practice of selling his bretheren into
slavery, Obi replied, "very well—l agree
to this ; but then if you will not take slaves,
you must take the other productions of
Africa in exchange for the goods brought
from England. We want your goods,
and beSides slaves we have little or noth
ing to buy them with." A treaty was
made, only to be broken.
On leaving Aboh, the aspect of the Ni
ger changes, the banks become higher, the
course of the river less winding, and its
face is diversified with numerous islands.
The scenery of the shores, was soon
found to be most picturesque—the effect
of the the transparent atmosphere
was almost magical—the air was laden
with odors of trees, herbage and flowers,
and the horizon skirted with waving
mountains.
The expedition soon reached Iddoh, a
bout ninety miles from Aboh. The king
of this country was far more dignified
than his brother Obi, and waited for the
commissioners to call upon him, disclaim
ing to quit his palace in order to receive
them. He was clothed in ample robes of
native stuff; fantastically embroidered, be
neath which was another of red velvet,
scarlet pantaloons, and a conical hat, sur
mounted with feathers on the top. A
conference was held with him, similar to
the former one with Obi, and, as in that
case, a display of the presents brought
from England by the commissioners, soon
produced harmony and concord. The
inhabitants of Aboh are pagans—those of
Iddoh are half Pagans and half Mahom
modems. At the former place were seen
many idols of wood and clay, and also
amulets, to ward off harm. They being
represented by their principle idol, who is
supposed to inhabit the depths of the for
est, and to be all-powerful and all-wise.-1
Their priests are also physicians, or med.!
icine Men. They pour out libations of!
palm wine to their gods, and offer sacri
fices both .of animals and of men. The '
government of Aboh is singular. The
king's son is heir appamnt to the throne.
But he does not become king unless after
his fathers death, he is eleCted as king, by
a council of Apcients or Chiefs. Each
village of dux kingdom of Aboh has its gov
.ernor and judgea. Aboh has a little navy
of rowboats, each armed with a small can
non at the bow, by means of which a toll
is exacted 'from those who pass the shores,
and the inhabitants, who live in huts,
number from seven to, eight thousand.
The MUssulmart city Of Iddoh is alto
p .
ater supenor to Aboh in civilization.--
Itsinhabitants, whoare about ten thousand,
live hrround cottages, with conical roofs.

throne, agreeable to com-1
mon usage in Africa, is the oldest son of
the king's sister. The king has, a small
army, but no navy.—American
MISERIES OF A BACHELOR'S LIFE.-
Poor fellow !—he returns to his lodg
ing—l will not say tohis "home." There
may be everything he can possibly desire
in the shape of mere external comforts
provided for him by the officious zeal of
Mrs—, his houskeeper ; but still the
room has an air of chilling vacancy : the
very atmosphere of the apartment has a
dim, uninhabited appearance—the chair
set round with provoking neatness, look
reproachfully useless end unocupied ; and
the tables and other furniture shine with
impertinent and futile 'brightness. All is
dreary and repelling. No gentle face wel
comes his arrival—no loving hand meets
his—no kind look answers the listless gaze
he throws around the appartment. He sits
down to a book—alone ; there is no one
sitting by his side to enjoy with him the
favorite passage—the apt remark—the
just criticism; no eyes to read his own fee
lings, his own tastes aro unappreciated
unreflected—he has no rescource but him
self—all his happiness must eme nate
from himself. Ile flings down the vol
ume in dispair—hides his face in his
hands, and sighs aloud,O! nc misernm.
PRACINIC U. FARMING.
Keep the Premises Clean.
Every cultivator should keep his premi
ses as clean as possible, for the. important
purposes of saving manure and promoting
' health. Some discerning persons remark
that in the hot summer, while vegitation is
in ,a flourishing condition, it is more heal
thy in the country than in the city, but the
reverse is the case in September, and Oc.
tuber, as at this season many vegitable
productions have come to maturity and
are decaying, filling the air with obnoxious
gasses and odors ; hence arise fevers,
dysentery, and other complaints, which
are more common in the country early in
full. Wo give this view of the subject,
which some have presented, and we will
make a few remarks on the subjects that
claim the particular attention of every cul
tivator, whether this view be correct or
not.
Keep the premises, particularly around
the dwelling, perfectly free from every
substance that will taint the air. Every
decaying or vegetable or animal substance
should be removed a good distance, and
then covered in the earth, for the purpose
of manure.
The pig-pen, though at a respectable
distance from the house, should be supplied
with loam to absorb all liquid matter.—
All manure in the barn-yard should be
covered with loam, sand, or mud, to save
it from waste, and to keep the air pure, as,
in the changes so common to the wind,
the air is liable to be wafted from the barn
to the house.
Cellars should be made as clean as
possible, particularly as they communi
cate directly with the dwelling above, trnd
any foul air produced in them is very lia
ble to pass into the house. All vegetables
in the cellar that aro tending to decay
should be removed immediately. It is
best to Ventilate 'cellars thoroughly by
opening dpors and windows, and to keep
the door open as little as possible that com
municates with the rooms.
Ground plaster, and freshly burnt char
coal, set in vessels or strewed around in
cellars, or other places where foul air ex
ists, or is liable to be produced , has a very
healthy effect by absorbing gasses.
Necessaries often produce a foul atmos
phere around them ; and as the dwelling
is near, the offensive air is often wafted to
it, and even whop-dot perceptible it is oft
en opperating injuriously. Some prepare
these conveniences and covers with loam
or other substances all night soil, so as to
do away entirely with all unpleasant and
unwholesome abets. When this is not
the case, charcoal, plaster, chloride of
lime, or other disinfectants, should be
thrown into the vault, to absorb all nox
ious odors.
Water from the sink should be absorb
ed in loam &c., for manure, instead of ri
sing in foul gasses and being blown into
the house. There are some cases of ma
lignant and fatal disorder going through a
family, while all the rest of the neighbor.
hood are in good health. This is (Alen
owing to some local cause, some foul pud
dle, pool, or stagnated pond, near the
dwelling, or a general negligence as to
keeping the premises clean.
Decaying weeds, grass, potatoes affect
ed with the rot, potato tops, 'pumpkin and
other vines, and various productions, are
undergoing decomposition in the fall ; and
in the aggregate the amount is large, and
filling the air, with pestelential gasses.—
Farmers may do much good to themselves
and the community by burying all such
substances, and converting them into ma
nure... Make them into a compost heap,
well covered with loam, to absorb the gas.

Expense, and Profit in raising Indian Corn.

the cultivation of Indian cord by Levi T.
Marshall, of Vernon, Onedi county we

Agricultural Society, for 1848 :
The land upon which the following
crops of corn, grew was upon the flats of
the Shenandoah Creek, six miles below its
head waters, and being situated about 1.1) . 0 '
feet below the emit level on the Chenan . -
go Canal. The soil a brown mould, in
good condition, with a previous crop of
meadow hay for thirty successive years•
Corn planted 22d of May, upon the inver
ted in hills three feet apart. One acre
plowed in the spring produced five bush
els the most. Four and five kernals drop r
pod the hill, that number being design
ed to be left standing, and appeared above
ground in about five days after planting.
The eight rowed yellow, variety planted,
with eight quarts to the acre; hoed twice,

PROSPECTUS OF THE UNION;
A Daily, Semi-Weekly, & Weekly Newspaper;
Published at Washington, D. C'., and de
voted to Politico, Literature, and
General Intelligence.
On and after the first day ofJune 1849,
the "UNION" will be published under the
joint editorial management and control of
the subscribers
As both of the undersigned have been
before the public in different stations—one
of us for nearly half a century, and the
other for several years—we believe it will
not be deemed arrogant in us to suppose
that nothing more than a general declara
tion of our principles and the course which
we intend to pursue, will be necessary at
this time. I
The political character of the "limo's"
will remain unchanged. As it has hith
erto done from 'the date of its publication
to the present time, it will continue to ad
vocate the great principles of the demo
cratic party as expounded by its illustri
ous founder, Tnottins JEFFERSON, and car
ried into successful practice in the admin
istration of the goVernment by subsequent
democratic Presidents; principles which
have secured for our beloved country an
expansion, progress, and glory unexam
pled in the history of ancient or cotempo
rary empires, and elevated it to the first
rank the nations of the earth.—
Those principles have been more fully de
veloped in the original Prospectus which
was published at the commencement of the
publication of the "UNlON,"'and .re-pu
lished in its columns a few_-dais - agO.—
. _
They demand a systeriii,4riaxation and
revenue which shall be expintil l nd just-'up
on all classes and individuirSropupsing
none and favoring none; the
expenditure of the public, M.9,neyo:o4'sep

formance of duty ; and esliecially dem'atidr
ing and insisting that the President of
.the
United States shall not abdicate his high
powers and his responsibilities to an irrps
ponsible cabal, under the name of a cabi
net, who are not chosen by the people, &
are not accountable to them at the ballot
box.
Such are, in general, the principles
which the "UNION" will advocate; and, in
performing the duties which they have
Jointly' assumed, the undersigned are a
ware that, in the present crisis, it will de
volve upon them to discuss the policy and
measures of the party in power with free
dom, and perhaps, on some occasions,
with severity. But, in executing their high
funo4ons as conductors of the public press,
they will not forget the dignity nor the a
tnenities due to their position, while they
perform their duty to the people with the
firmness and fidelity which the occasion
may demand.
Aware that the "UNioN" is the sole or
gan at the seat of government, of the great
democratic party, which represents the
people of the United States not only in
principles and sentiments, but also in num
bers, the undersigned will endeavor to con
duct it in that liberal and catholiC spirit
which the true interests of their country
and. party demand at their hands. They
aro not blind to the fact that in a republic
so .extensive as this, and embracing such
a wide range of latitude and climate, dif
ferent interests and different institutions
must spring up apparently conflicting with
each other, but, . in reality, each contribu
ting to the advancement of the whole--
Tins apparent conflict of interests and in
stitutions' of, course, gives rise to sent!,
ments and opinions as apparently diverse,
but which, rightly, ,understood, and uOe . T.
just restraint, can do no .injurylio aid
other. With regnitl to these conflicting
sentiments and , opinions, growing .out or
local causes and institutions, it . 1Vi11 . 1)C thij
object of tho undersigned not to interfere '
except to inculcate concession and forbear.
anco on all side, and to secure to eachtho
just , protection which the constitution pro.
mises to all.
Our endeavors will halo unite all the
elements el- the democratic party in sup
port of its common principles, and in an
effort to regain its ascendency, which has
been lust by the mistaken trust and confi
dence which some of its members hrve re
posed in a man, now occupying the presi
dency, who had gained high military hon
ors in a noble and patriotic cause, and
who, in order to attain the highest civic
honors, made promises ane pledges which
he has, from incapacity to fulfil his duties,
or from intentional desigh, grossly viola
ted, thus betraying to the enemy those
who confided in him, and bringingdisgrace
upon the Presidential office.
In currying out these purposes and in
tentions, the undersigned feel that they
shall stand in need of the active and ener
getic co-operation and support of the undi
vided democracy of the country. The
party in power has secured its ascendancy
by a . /rued u:pon, /1w people, and has most
shamefully violated all the pledges which
it made to attain power. It will endeavor
to maintain its ascendency by the seine
unscrupulous means. It is the party rep
resenting the foreign sentiments and prin
ciples
now too openly prevalent is this
country, and which arc at war with the
principles of our government and with pop- ' ular liberty. It is the party which always
allies itself with every foreign enemy with
which our country may happen to be at va
riance. It is the party that espoused 'the
cause of Great Britain in tre war of 18i2,
and leagued with Mexico in the war of
1845. Sound political morality, fidelity
to republican principles, and that spirit of
true patriotism which ever frowns upon
treachery to ones one's country, require
that this party shall be expelled from the
power which it has gained by such repre
hensible means, and is now exercising for
such unjustifiable ends. And in this great
work we invoke the energetic : and unti
ring aid of every patriot and every friend
to popular liberty and free goVernment,
assuring them that we shall endeavor not
to be wanting in honest eflitrts to accom
plish that part of the work of reform which
may devolve on us.
But, while the "IlivioN" will be mainly
devoted to politics, it will not overlook the
demands of the domestic circle. It will
contain all the important news of thu,',4y,
and devote a reasonable portion of its7ol.:,
umns to matters of interest relating .tei;so-,
once, the arts, and general literature. ••
