Our readers will remember that the New Ierlin Anti-Divisiouists, with the idea of drowning the Division question for the prcseut, are attempting to revive the Rc jniJintiou mania of last fall, by re-exeiting the people on that, exploded issue, hoping thereby to stave off discussion upon the other and th true issue.

George swore that W3 hai offered him S1250 to sign an extension of the agree ment, or, that we said Miller, Slifer, and Casey would pay him that sum for doiu M. And that at another time we told him "thei" would pay him ?S(JIJ to sigu the bonds. John swore that we said to Lim that they had offered the old mau these sums. We then proved by four of the most respectable witnesses iu Union county, that George Ileimbach had, before we spoke to Lim on that subject, voluntarily agreed to tigu the extension of the agreement, and Lad fixed the time for Mr. Wilt and Mr. 1-Iill.T to meet him at the Commissioners' Office for that purpose. We also proved by bis own testimony, and that ot his sou John, that we had advised him to employ the Hon. James Pollock, and to follow Lis advice, whatever it would be, in the matter. We also proved by his own confessions and declarations that he had offered to pign for a certain amount, and wished tit fficr communicated to the Directors of the Tioad.

We also proved that ho himself directly offered to one of the Directors of the Company to sign the Bonds for $1000, which was aain refused. His testimony, and also that of his son John's, was flatly and directly contradicted in important poiuts by men whose veracity can not be doubted.

LEWISBURG, UNION Tor the Lewisbnrs Chronicle. Mr. Editor : We have been anxiously awai'.ing the Engineers' lleport of the Railroad survey from Lewisburg via Center county to Spruce Creek,whicb has come to hand as published in the Lcwisbur; Chro nicle. We confess we were not a little surprised at some of the statements it con tains, and some of the features it exhibited. In that report, MEramit Las given the distances, both, straight and curved, with the grades on each route surveyed, which, according to 6aid report and his opinion, gives the l'enus Valley route a decided preference and perhaps it has in reality. But, in order to judge righteously in this or any other case, it is necessary to be gov erned by facts indisputable; and sometimes it is necessary, in ordur to arrive at just conclusions, to have those facts stated on the faith of figures,whieh it is said wont lie. Let us sec. Jlr. Emruit says, after get ting to the summit of llapid llun,thc route is level fur about two miles, and then descends" very fast towards Buffalo Valley, falling 1175 feet in Hi n.-iles, or at the rate of 102 2-10 feet per mile ; but admits that, by following down the side of the mountain from the summit to where it runs out, sufficient distance might be gained beforo reaching Buffaloc Valley to reduce the grade to '.0 feet for 13 miles. rri 1- e T 1 - me uwau .,.a w.u,- i im.- summit of ltapid Bun, is 185 miles and tho height to overcome U lliUJ fret. Now the difference between 1JU0 and 1175 feet which is said to be the f.tH in 11 1 miles is 25 feet ; and the ditlerence between 18J and 113 miles, is 71, which gives a full of 25 feet in 7 1 miles. We have not saeTed tLe BufralW) Creek from it enr,.fu!lv not., down the obstacles he wilM eucou.t.er iur oi report would have it, he has ascended at i least 200 feet.

We do not believe thc engineer is five feet out of tho way. Tho rise in thc Sustiuchanna river, from Harrisburg to Williamsport, is only two feet to the mile, while the Engi neers' report gives full three feet to the mile from Lewisburg to tho Brush Valley Narrows, although the rise would not seem to be auy greater than along the river.

Origin of Holes in the United States. Mr. George Washington P. Custis, in ius last paper, under the title of Recollcc- tions and Private Memoirs of the life and thcr roots or grain crops. Ihey are mdi charaeter of Washington, gives the fol- j genous, coDscquently gross feeders, and ab lowing account of tha introduction of : stract from the soil only those elements of mules into this country, which will be fertility which are indispensably requisite found very interesting : to sustain the more valuable and cultivat- Unon Washington's first retirement in cd crops. It should ever be a rule with 1783, he became convinced of the defective nature of the working animals employed in the agriculture of the Southern States, and set about remedying the evil by the introduction of mules instead of horses, the mule being found to live longer, be less liable to disease, require less food, and in every respect to be more serviceable and economical than the horse iu the agricultu ral labor of the Southern States. Up to the year 1773, scarcely any mules were to be found in tho American Confed eration ; a few had been imported from the West Indies, but they were of dimin utive size and of little value. So soon as the views on this subject of the illustrious farmcr of Mount Vernon were thrown abroad, ho received a present from the King of Spain of a jack and two jennies, selected from the royal stud at Madrid. Tho jack, called the Royal Gift, was six teen hands, of a grey color, heavily made, but of a sluggish disposition. At the same time, the Marquis de La fayette sent out a jack and jennies from tho Llaud of Malta; this jack, called the KniMit r.f Malfsi. VBn n .,r.h a,lilllal! with the form of a stag and ferocity of a tiger. Washington availed himself of the best qualities of th two jacks by crossing the breed and hence obtained a favorite jack, called Compound, which auinial uni ted the size and strength of the Gift with the courage and activity of the Knight. The jack arrived at Mount Vernon, if we mistake not, early in 177S. The General bred some very superior mules from his coach marcs, sending them from Philadelphia for the purpose. Ia a few years the estate of Mount Vernon be came stocked with mules of a superior or der, rising te the hcighth of 1G hands, and of great power and usefulness, one wagon team of four mules selling at the sale of the General's ofleet&for S800. In no pro-, portion of W aslnngton s various labors and improvements in agriculture, was he so particularly entitled to bo hailed as a r"l.li benefactor, as in the introduction of mules in farming isivr. l, being at this time almost exclusively used fur farming purposes in the Southern States. Washington's Wealth the lit. Ver non Estate. The following extract is taken from an old book published by ltusscll & West, Boston, iu the year 1800, entitled "Wash ton's Political Legacies," and dedicated by the editors to Mrs. Martha Washington : "General Washington was at one time r.r..ri .li1v nnA nf thi rrnntpst land-holders : s.( u, r...i rn;r,t ! iva i lit" - in i.rr.tfl ljuiiiLih ilia muu uua awvifvi from his estates amounted in 179G to four thousand pounds sterling. His property, at the same period, was estimated to be worth one hundred and sixty thousand pounds sterling, which is a very largo sum in federal money, and was considered a very great fortune at that early day in this country for any one man to possess. His estate at Mount Vcrnoa alono was computed in 1787 to consist of nine thou sand acres of land, of which enough was in cultivation to produce in a single year, ten thousand bushels of corn and seven thousand bushels of wheat. In a succced iug year he raised two hundred lambs, sowed twenty-seven bushels of flaxseed, and planted seven hundred bushels of po tatoes. He desisted, it is said, from plant ing tobacco, which was then extensively raised in Virginia, for thc purpose of set ting an example, by employing his exten sive means in the introduction and foster ing of such articles of domestic uso and necessity as would ultimately tend to the best advantage of his country. His do mestics, at the same time, were industrious ly employed in manufacturing woolen cloth :d linen iu sufficient quantities to clothe his numerous household, which numbered nearly one thousand persons. Water Drinking. Professor Silliman closed a recent Smith sonian lecture, iu Washington, by giving tho following sensible advice to young men : ' "If, therefore, you wish for a clear mind, strong muscles, and quiet nerves and long life and power prolonged into old age, permit me to say, although I am not giving a temperance lecture avoid all drinks hut water, and mild infusious of that fluid. Shun tobacco and opium, and everything else that disturbs the normal state of the system. Rely upon nutritious food and dilutcnt drinks,of which water is the basis, and you want nothing beyond those things except rest, and the due nur al regulation of all your powers, to give you long, and happy and useful lives, and a eetcnt) evening at the close." The Farmer's Pest. Weeds, it should be recollected, are al i ways more exhausting to the soil than ei- j tli0 farmcr to allow no r,ant to perfect its sJ on his premises, that will in any way diminish the productiveness of his soil There are many weeds which, if cut close to the soil while in inflorescence, inevitably die; and others, if so trcatcd,will not start f g:n following year, or, it tuey uo, it win De very iccwy, ana wuu so nine vigor that they will effect but little injury domparativcly speaking, and without any possibility of their producing seed. M ullein, thistles, burdocks, and many other noxious productions of a similar class, may be erad icated by placing a table-spoonful of salt upon the stump of each plant after cutting it When these weeds are "in force," we have frequently found it profitable to sow salt freely after mowing, as the exuding fluids of the roots dissolve it, and of course takes a portion of it into their vessels, where it acts as a most efficient destroyer. If a field invested with thistles be mowed when the thistles arc in full bloom, and stilt, say two bushels to the acre, be sown upon the stumps, and sheep permitted to Sraze uPon & enclosure, it is said that tl'e thistles will be at once destroyed. This j is PW a ore econoinieal method of eradication than removing the plants by the roots, which is tedious, and but seldom effectual. Maine Farmer. Bed Clothes. Three-fourths of the bed covering of our pcoplo consist of what are miscalled "comfortables," viz: two calico cloths, with clazed cotton wadding laid between and quilted in. The perfection of dress, for day and" night, whore warmth is the purpose, is that which confines around the body sufficient of its own warmth, while it allows escape to the rest. Whcfe the body is allowed to bathe protractedly in its own repors, we j .... ea. ,i 1T,rr ,he skin WLew ,hcre ig Vyo Uttle ventiIating C(apC) what is called insensible perspiration is checked, and smnthing analogou to fever supervenes. Foul tongue, ill taste, and lack of mornin?; appetite bctrav tlm frrnr In all cases the temper suffers, and "my dear, this is execrable coffee," is probably the table greeting. How much of the rosy health of poor children is due to tha air-leaking rooms of their parents; and what a generator of pale faces is a close chamber ! To be healthy and happy, provide your bed with tho lightest and most porous blankets. Tho finer tho better. The cheapest in price are the dearest in health. "Comfortables" are uncomfortable andun- healthy. Cotton, if it could bo made f ' equally porous and kept so, we should pre- fer to wool The same f.r daily under- clothes. But more thau all theso, let your chamber be ventilated. Knock in a hole somewhere to rrivo vour escaping breath exit, and another to give fresh air to your lungs in the place of what they have ex pired. So shall you have pleasant dreams 'at night, and in tho morning cheerful rising, sweet breath and good appetite ! These blcssigs combined, will secure to healthful parents a household of brisht and rosy cheeked memorials of rich and fruitful affection. J'hila. Reyitter. The Recent South Carolina Unci. We published a telegraphie despatch some days since, announcing a fatal duel at Charleston, the papers of which city have been silent as to tho nature cf the difficulty. Tho Washington Star of Sat urday, however, gives the following par ticulars : "Mr. Legare wa3 engaged to a young lady in Columbia. Ilor friends inquired of Dunovant what was the character aud habits of L.? This coming to his cars, he inquired of D. what he had answered ; and found that he had spoken favorably of him. But not satisfied with a verbal statement, he demanded it in writing, which was re fused. Logaro challenged on this refu?:il. The distance was twelve pace?. Legare fired at the word "one," and ini?s;d; Dun ovant fired at the word "two," aud killed his antagonist. Tho survivor was wholly unskilled iu the use of the pistol, having never before had anything to do with a duel. Legare, on tho contrary, was, no toriously, a crack shot, having, a few days before the affair came off, (in practising,) placed forty-eight out of fifty balls in a card at the word. He became very ner vous on starting for the ground, and re marked that be felt a presentiment that he would fall, notwithstanding his skill with tho pistol. He was formerly in the Navy as a Midshipman, from which he was dis missed, it is said, fur running a sword through a marine.". Tie Yellow Fever, New Orleans papers are at hand as late as due. The sugar merchants on the levee have agreed to suspend business daily at noon, and most of tho other merchants dose their stores at 3 e'clock. The total number of cases of yellow fever, including the deaths, since the fever com menced, is over twclvo thousand. The fever shows no abatement in malignancy. The total deaths of the week euding the 1 1th, foot up 1532, of which 13G0 were from yellow fever. The Howard Associa tion have taken charge of 3000 or 4000 persons, and expect to have the number increased to 7000, at a cost of 810 each.
