down augrily the piece of calico). Give
me something else. Ah ! irentlemen. here

him because he has fought only when it
was necessary to fight to bring his country
safely and honorably out of wars, in be
ginning which he had no agency. The
people are beginning to agitate and settle
the' Presidential question pretty essentially
before the meeting of Congress in Decem
ber next, so that members of Congress
may be relieved from the trouble of President-making,
and may have time to attend
to the necessary legislation of the country.

Poisonous Candy.
The Albany Register states that on an
analysis of the green and red coloring mat
ter of candy, they are found to be com
posed of deadly poisons; the former is
made up of Arsenite of Totasb, and the
latter generally of Leal flBd Mercury.
Several cases among children, which have
resulted nearly in death, have recently oc
curred in that city, from eating green and
red candies. The green is tbe most poi
sonous, and one of the largest hearts col
ored in that way, on analyzation, was found
to contain enough arsenite of potash to kill
s child.

it appears are under 25 years of age. We

A Reminiscence.
Some few years ago, the United States
were engaged in a war (quasi war) with
certain Iudiaus. These Indians, being
driven from our territories, took refuge iu
Florida, then belonging to the Crown ol
Spain. The American army pursued them
into this neutral territory, compelled the
surrender of St. Marks by the Spanish
commandant, and occupied it as a conquer
ed country.
Two British subjects were made prison
ers in the Spanish territory. A special
military tribunal was orgauized under the
orders of the American General, beim
ueither a Court Martial uor a Court of In
quiry. Tbe Court was directed to give iu
opinion on the guilt or innocence of the
prisoners, and what puuishnicnt, if any,
should be inflicted.
The Court was organized on the very
day on which the order assembling it hears
date, aud proceeded forthwith to examine
the case.

Whsre are we to Land?
To our mind there appears to be no h?
of escape for the United States from her
t re ent financial embarrassments, than la
the change of her present revenue system.
As we are cow situated, we appear to be
the mere shop keepers of England fcr the
goods which she manufactures for us out
of our own materials. So long as th's ia
the case so long must we, in our judgment,
play this small, second part, and our coia
be at her command.
To the gold of California, tbe United
States is only a sort of half-way house, ia
its journey to England- For instance, the
last Chagres steamer brought the large sua
of one million eight hundred thousand
dollars ; but scarcely had she landed ber
precious cargo before the steamship Africa
sailed with eight hundred and fifty-seven
thousand dollars of it, or that, which thij
was to replace. Three days after last
Friday the City of Manchester sailed with
two hundred add thirty-eight thousand ,
dollars ; and on Saturday ,the Baltic follow
ed with 538,000 more. Thus.i i the space of
a wed-, w.1 received one million eight hun
dred thousand from California, and sent
one million six hundred and thirty-three
thousand to England, to say nothing about
the same destination. This is only a sin
gle instance in the operations of the sys- -tem.

found a ready market, at prics filly equal

Harvest'ng Potatoes.
Mr. Editoh I re-ard it as a very bid
practice to allow potatoes to dry. after re
moving them from the soil. As soon as
dug they should be removed at once and
with all possible disptch, to the'jiny.
Here they should be cowed with amaH
quantity of moist soil, and prot(ued as fully
as possible from the air. Potatoes that
have been exposed for any length of time,
to the sun's rays, assume a greenish fro,
and a sickly sweetish taste, resembliag that
of copper. In this sta'e a r ertain prinoiple
io the tuber becomes a poon, and of ctmrs
tbe potato is in that .-jndition not only re
pugnant io the te, but an injury when
eaten, to the health. When grown on wet
80,13, from which the crop cannot be taken
without' portion of it adhering to the tn
bcis, as much of the plastic soil as conve
nient should be removed ; but they should
never be exposed to the process of drying.
Light, if too fully admitted tr the bins,
tif.er the roots have been housed, will effect
a most rapid end serious deterioration of
the crop. It is important; therefore, that
this principle be as much as possible eacltt
ded. When it may be desirable, trc.m
any cause, to admit light to the ether
parts of the cellar, a covering of straw mat
be placed over the bins. This will effects
ally secure them, and may, in colJ season;
be of great service in protecting them front
