Tie high prices obtained for the pro duels of the soil for a few years past, have greatly stimulated the Agricultural iuter est. This iu0ucnce has worked in two wars: First, very many in limited circum stances laborers, mechanics and artizans out of employ, persons of small salaries or incmies, ic have been ni(WH to ob- 1 tain their bread by owuing or cultivating land for themselves ; and as land in tLe Old States rules at prices beyond their j means, they are forced to the -cw stales. Secoud, the large accumulation of profits in the pockets of very many farmers, has furnished them with the mentis to invest in lauds ; and Westward they take their money f r investment in short, for laud (peculation. These extremes of condition operating to an unprecedented txteut.have produced the unexampled migration toward the set ting sun, which distinguishes the preseut season. Not by hundreds, but ny tuou V. s.mds, are the new-comers couulcd through 'i our Western cities.

Fillibusterlsm in Congress. Itoceut indications at Washington.point out a most dangerous spirit at work among men in high station. In the House of Ker.rcsentativeB. Gen. John A. Quitman who served with distinction in Mexico, aud who was to have commanded the filli bustering expedition against Cuba came out with a speech openly advocating the repeal of all neutrality laws "free trade" in piracy and the absorption of all por tions of territory, southward, toward which restless adventurers might turn their cove tnus ryes. In other words, piracy should be legalised, and the U. S. flag and the U. S. government should "protrct"U Lr citizens engaged in war upon humanity. In the Senate, about the same time, Seuator Douglas and Wc-ller argued for the recognition of Walker and his dimin utive gng, as a Nation, by the U. S. government. These men have always ad vocated schemes of Slavery extension, since the Texas game succeeded. They would recognise the fugitive troop of Wal ker's, but have steadily resisted acknow ledging the power of llayii in the man ner other cowers are recognized, and tram ple upon the Free S:atb Government of! Kansas with contempt. Tbe reason ofj lLi ttraiijia anomaly U aimIa Walker is working for Slavery, while Hayti and Kansas arc not legally slave-holding. Whether this Southern demonstration will make Pres. Fierce and his advisers more or less favorable to the Filibustering plans, remains to be seen. It is clearly a bid for the Southern support in the Cin cinnati Convention, and an appeal to all the baser passions aud most reckless men iu the laud. Douglas for President and Quitman for Vice, doubtless would com mand the vote of every felon.of every reek Lss, and of ucarly every lazy man in the land, and with the natural alliance of the Slave interest, cd the voters who follow anything labelled "Detn .cracy might be successful, aud the U. S. government become pratieally a government of free hooters and a nursery aud protector of open, tbatiicless piracy, for the onebject of strengthening the Slave Despotism. Consumption, &c.

The priuciple of devoting special attention to the cause aud care of special diseases, is doubtless correct ; men who devote their whole lives to such inves tigations, must be most useful aud most learned in their several departments. Dr. Hunter's system of Medical Inhalation in cases of Consumption, has attracted a large share of public attention, in New York city and elsewhere. The Editor claims for it a great influence in promoting the extraordinary comparative diminution of mortality from that disease, in the first quarter of three years, as evinced by the following summary of Keporis of the City Inspector of New York : Ut 3 o'f Id 111, duttlis trc.ni CoDiampUoD, R43 do ls6 do 7 do l"il Oo When this large decrease is taken in con nection with the total increase of popula tion, it is certainly a remarkable diminu tion of Consumption deaths, from some cause, worthy of medical investigation.

Mb' -History of the Early Settlement of tbe Juniata Valley," recently published. ha tbe flowing account of the person from whom Jack' Mountain is naid to be naaied,El.Ci&o.vj Among the first settlers in Aughwiek Valley was Captain Jack, ccrtaiuly one of the most noted characters of the day. He was a white man, of almost Herculean proportions, with extremely swarthy com plexion ; in fact, he was supposed by some to be a half-breed Indian, aud by others a quadroon. His early history and his real name are altogether shrouded in mystery. He flourished about Shirlcysburg between 1750 and 1752, when, with two or three companions, he went to the Juniata and built himself a cabin near a beautiful spring. His sole pursuit, it would appear, was hunting aud fi-hing, by which be pro cured the means of subsistence. Late ono summer evening, returning with his companions from a fishing excur sion, Captain Jack found bis cabin iu ruin9, aud bis wifo and two children mur dered ! From that moment he became an altered man, roaming tho woods alone, sleeping in caves, hollow logs, or wherever he could ud a shelter. The loss of bis family no doubt craied him for a time, as he did not appear among the settlers until the fall of 175d. Iu the iiiterinijhowevcr, he was frequently seen, aud we may add frequently jVt, by the savages. There is reason to believe that on ths discovery of the wrongs done him, ho made a vow to devote the balance of his life to slaying Indians. If he did, right faitli!ully was bis vow kept, for his fame spread far aud wide among the red-skins. The settlers about Aughwick, as well as those in Path Valley and along the river, frequently found dead savages, noma in a state of par tial decay, and others with their flesh stripped by the bald-eagles and their boues bleaching in the sun ou the spot where Jack's rirle had laid them low. On one occasion, be lay concealed in the woods by the side of the Aughwick path, when a painted warrior, with a red feather waving from bis head, his body bediseucdwitn gewgaws recently purchased from a trader, camo down the path a crack from Captain Jack's rifle, and the savage bounded into the air and fell dead without a groan. It appears that three others were in company, but had tarried at a spring ; on bearing the discharge of the rifiV, being under the impression that their compauion had shot a bear or deer, they gave a loud "whoop." Jack im me diately loaded, and.when the Indians came up to the dead body, he shot aud killed a second one. The survivers then rushed into the thicket, and one of them, gettiug a climose of Jack, shot at him, but missed. Seeing that the chauccs were desperate, Jack jumped out and engaged in a haud-to-haud eucounter the fourth savage being only armed with a tomahawk. He soon despatched tho third by beating his brains out with bis rifle ; but tbe fourth, an athletic fellow, grappled, when a long fight followed, and only ceased when both were exhausted by the loss of blood. The Indian managed to get away, leaving Jack tbe victor on tbe field of battle. Weak and faint though be was, ho scalped the three savages, fixed those trophies upon bushes overhanging the path, aud then, without deigning to touch their gewgaws or their arms, managed to work his way to tbe settlement, where his wounds, consist ing of eight or tea stabs, were dressed. It is said that one night the family of an Irishman named Moore, residing in Aughwick, was suddenly awakened by the report of a gun ; ou opening the door, they found a dead Indian lyiug upon the very threshold. By the feeble light which shone through the door, tbey discovered the diiu outline of Captain Jack, who merely said, "I have saved your lives," and disappeared. With an eye like the eagle's, aud a con stitution that could brave the heat of summer as well as the frosts of winter, he roamed like an uncaged tiger, the most formidable foe that crossed the red man's path. Various were the plans and strata gems resorted to by the Indians to capture him, but they all proved unavailing. He fought them upon their own ground, with their own weapons, aud adopted against them their own merciless mode of warfare. In stratagem he was au adept, aud in the use of the rifle bis superior probably did not exist in his day and generation. These qualifications made hitu not only a terror to the Indians, but famous among the settlers, who for their own protection formed a scout or company of rangers, and tendered to Captain Jack tho command, which he accepted. This company was uniformed like Iodians,with hunting shirts, leather leggings, and moccasins, and, ob they Wire not acting under sanction of government, styled themselves " Captain Jack's Hunters." All the "hunting" done, however, after securing game to supply their wants, was probably confined to hunting for scalps of ludians ; and, as it w a penal offence, then, to occupy the hunting grounds of the Juniata Valley, (much more to shed the blood of any of tbe savages,) it is not likely that the squat ter "hunters" ever furnished the Quaker Proprietors with an official list of the " killed and wounded." These exploits gave Captain Jack a number of sobriquets I in the absence of his real came : be was known as the " Black Rifle," " Black Hunter," "Will Hunter of the Juniata," j &.C. Ou one occasion, with his band, he followed a party of marauding Indians to the Conococheague, aud put them to rout. This act reached the authorities in I'hila- I deipnta, auJ o r Hamilton granted him a sort of irregular, roving commission to hold in check the unfriendly Indians of the frontier. With this authority he routed the savages from the Cove and several other quarters, and the general fear he inspired among them no doubt prevented much mischief. Early in June, Captain Jack offered the services of himself and his band to accom pany Gen. Braddock on his ill-fated expe dition against Fort Duquesne. Cul. Cro- ! an urged their merits, saying, "They arc i , j well armed, and are equally regardless ofj heat or cold. Thpy r quire no shelter for ; the night, aud ask no pay." Unfortunately ( j for the expedition, the offer was declined, j I probably for the very reason it should . have been accepted because they would fi 'lit Iudian fashion and not be murdered t o , iu "regular" rauks, civilized form. Of the final end of CVptaiu Jack, (says j j Mr.Jones,) we have nothing definite. Une Wg prt,jeCted lioe 0f stram ! account says he went to the est; another A,(ou (I u w LawreQce (Kan. ! that he died an old man in 1, .2, having or .u ,u xkiaitJ vM be I lived the life of a hermit after the end ofj ' wished, arjJ tbat its boats j the war of 1763.

Killing in Kansas. Five or six months ago, Mr. Dow,a free State citizen of Kansas, was shot dowu in the highway near Hickory Point, Kansas, by Column, a Pro-Slavery man Dow be ing unarmed at the time and in no man ner threatening or molesting Col man. Neither the U. S. authorities in Kansas, nor those pretending to hold under the Missourians' Legislature, have offered a reward for the arrest of the murderer, or taken any step calculated to bring him to justice. But they did arrest Branson, a Free State man with whom Dow boarded, on a trumped-up charge of having threat- cued tnc me oi wihuj him to prison when be was rescued by a number of bis fellow citizens. Three or four weeks later, Barber, a Free-State settler from south-western Ohio was riding home from Lawrence, to his cabin on tha prairie, three or four miles off, when he was shot dead from his horse by a Pro-Slavery U. S. Iudian Agent. No attempt has been made by the Federal or Territorial authorities to bring this as sassin to justice. Still more reccntly.the Free-State party were holding an election at Easton, near Leaveuwortb, when they were set upon by an armed Pro-Slavery party. The Free State men mustered in such strength tbat their adversaries recoiled from tbe conflict and left the Free-State men in undisputed possession of the ground. The latter soon after scattered toward their several homes, supposing all danger of collision was over. But the Pro-Slavery party had kept toge gether and were laying in wait fur such portion of the Free-State party as they could attack with impuuity. Mr. Brown a leading Free-State settler front Mich.,fell into their snare, lie was snrrounded,cap. tured, chopped to pieces with knives and hatchets, and at length driven home in bis MAY 1G, 185G. own waou and laid dowu at his door to die, which he did soon after. His wife, into whose presence ho was thus thrust, is now a nuniae. No reward has been offer- ed : no attemnt to convict the perpetrators of this lieudish murder has been made by the Federal or Territorial authorities, up to this hour. But at length a Pro-Slavery man, the bogus "Sheriff" Jones has been shot, by some uiikuowu person. He was iu Law rence, seeking to bring on a collision be tween the Free-State mcu and the Federal Government, by arresting persons in tbe name and by authority of the bogus Ter ritorial Legislature. Every mau in Law rence was ready to submit to the service of any process emauating from the U.S. authorities, and it would have subserved every purpose but one to have had these writs issued by the U. S. judges, but Jones evideutly sought not to be obeyed, but to be resisted. Fiudiug the people indispo sed to recognize his Shawnee Mission au thority, Jones sent to the nearest fort for U. 8. troops, aud, with them at his back, arrested whomsoever he pleased. In teuse cxeitemeutaud iudignatioo pervaded the town, and that eveuiug Jones was shot as aforesaid. Thereupon the I ree-State party held a great meeting, condemned this cowardly assassination, aud resolved that the perpetrator should be brought to justice. Gov. Ilobiuson promptly issued a proclamation, offering a reward of 500 for the detection and apprehension of the culpr.t. And we have high hopes that he will thus be detected and punished. Such is the contrasted course of the two adverse pirties in Kansas with respect to the shedders of blood among them. We trust it will continue S3 contrasted to the cud. Trihune. intercourse with Kansas. Should our readers Uud iu toe iTrjuav soma morning a telegraphic dispatch or dispatches from St. Louis or some border town of Missouri announcing a treacherous massacre of all the U.

Jones was taken yon lerday to Frauklin, a village about four miles south-west of this city. His case is considered critical the ball having lodged in the region of the spine. It is generally believed here that he was shot by a Pro Slavery man who lives near Lecompton, with whom he had some difficulty about a claim. Corroborating circumstances go to sustain this belief, as it is known that he has been dogged by this man for some time that about dark a stranger rude into town aud tied bis horse behind one of the gtorcs that immediately after the shots were fired this man mounted his horse and rode off, before those who saw him knew of the attempted murder. The Mail has been stopped somewhere in Missouri, for though the usual quantity of newspaper matter came from tha East, not a single letter was in the bags. The prisouers were taken under a mili tary escort to Lecompton, and were rcqui- red to give bail in $500 each to a Justice of tbe Peace to appear at Court at its next session. They were charged with not as sisting Jones to execute the Territorial laws when called upon to do so. The Kansas Committee are in sesion to day, although they adjourned yesterday, probably on account of the exciteuieut.

Even this plow my man thooght ho could do noihing with, and only for my determined perseverance would have tumbled it into the feuco cor ner after tbe first round. He thought he cou'd p'ow ouly half as much as with a common plow, did not like ta use threj horses, it would,Vit work well, thought the plow would not turn the furrows, &.O., ji-t with coaxing, persu.iding,anl suoldiug, I kept Lira at it, until the whole fijid was turned over at least ten inches deep.

The next field was a clover lay, and in as Cue a tilth as a garden ; I could not injure him to use it until the field was nearly planted.

A mongst tl.is clss, an unfortunate and uutounded prejudice too often txists against all im proved implements. They have an idea that labor-saving implements are the la- i koj-cf-,, greatest enemy, and consequently leave no means uutiitd that will seivo to lessen their value iu the estimation of their employers. This is not always the case, aud it is noticed this feeling of oppo sition is not so violent now as it was a few years since. There is, however, enonh of it still to do mischief, and ail in retarding tho introduction of machinery and implement deigned to lesson t.e labor aud expense of a farm. It should be a fixed rule with every farmer to superin tend personally the trial of every new im plement be purchases. If objections bo made to it by bis men, let him inquiro the grounds of those objections. If, upon examination, they are well founded, hia course is clear ; but if, as is tjo frequent ly the case, Uioy are bad either upoa the prejudices or ignorance of those whom he has employed to me them, it lecomea his duty to combat those prejudices an! enlighten their iguorance.
