GREAT VALUE OF THE SUGAR. BEET. The exertions of the public spirited men who a few years since succeeded in introdu cing the culture of the Sugar Ceet into this 'country have been abundantly rewarded not precisely in the wnv thev anticipated, namely, the production f Sugar, but in thei still more valuable products of the dairy and supplies for the birder, as well as in the im provement of every kind of stock. Two tons of hay per acre, is regarded as a fine crop, whereas more than tirenn tons of the Sugar Beet may be raised on the same ex tent of land. By means of this juicy and higldy nutritious root the refreshment and other useful qualities of some pasture may be secured to cattle and every other kind of domestic animal through the whole winter. The advantages derived from this source to the dairy in the increased quantity and im proved quality cf milk and fresh butter, dur in? the absence of pasture, arc incalcuble. & are every day becoming more and more high ly appreciated. Sensible of the importance of extending the culture ofroots.the Philadel; hia Agncullu r.d Society offered premiums last year for the best crops of sugar beet, ruta b ijru. mangel wuriZ'l, weet parsnip, and carrot, and atin eiinjx of the society fe'd on the 1st inst., a report was made by the Committee for awarding premiums to the successful competitors, some of whom bad raised tip waids of seventy tons of the n-ots men 1:nned, which they arc still feed:njr out t their slock. On this occasion the I'resident ; of the Society, took tiie a; portunity to put j questions to several of 'U bijt.lv re -pert a ble memhers who had ben engaged in the j root cu'ture. for the pmpo-eof gaming some prec.se knowledge drawn from uccua! expc rience. of the relative value of particular kinds of roots. The information thus elici ted may lie highly useful to l hive who are desirous of raising roots for their stock the present season and in statin" it in a con densed form we take occasion to remark that the conclusions arrived at by the different in dividuals evince singular unanimity The results from feeding with the sweet parsnip entitles it to be regarded as the most cutritous of all the roots named. The car rot is highly nutritious. Although large pro ducts may be obtained, they exact more care and labor in tbeir cultivation than most other roors,especial!y at the ronri:encment of their growth when the weeds have to be kept un der. Fed to cows, the parsnip and car rot impart their flavor to the milk, an objec tion, which, of course, does not diminish their value as food for other animals. The testimonials in favor of Uuta Baga were very strong as a nutricious and highly valuable article of food for stock. For dai ry purposes, however, it was liable to the same objection that has been made to the pat snip and carrot, although the taste com municated to milk and butter was so slight at not to be perceptible to some persons. Every one agreed in giving a decided pre ference to the sugar beet over all the other roots mentioned, a decision founded upon the facility with which it may be cultivated, the large quantity of the product, its nutri tious qualities, and, for dairy purposes, the precious advantage of greatly increasing the quantities of milk and butter without com municating any objectionable llavor. The mangel wuitzel was by common con Bent pronounced inferior in every respect, not only to the sugar beet, but to all the toots refered to. Philadelphia National Gaz. REVOLUTIONARY ANECDOTE. A story is told of a Sergeant who travel led through the woods of New Hampshire, 'on bis way to the American Army, which will show the character of the Indians. : . He had twelve men with him. Their .route was far from any settlement; and they were obliged every night to camp in ti e woods. The Sergeant had seen a good deal of the Indians, and understood them well. Early in the afternoon, one day, as they were marching, on, over bigs swamps, and brooks under the ereat maple tree, a body of Indians, more than their own numbers, rushed out upon a hill in front of them. They appeared to be pleased at meeting . with the Sergeant and his men. They con sidered them their best friends. For them selves, they had taken up the hatchet for "POWER BOWLING the Americans, and would scalp and strip those rascally English for them like as many wild cats. 'How do you do pro? (meaning brother,) said one, and How do you dot' con tinued another; and so they wjnt about shaking hands with the Sergeant and his twelve men. They went off at last and the sergeant, having marched on a mile or two haulted his men' and addressed them thus: 'My btave fellows, we must use all possible caution or before morning we shall all of us bdead men- You' are ama7ed; but depTna upon me, those Indians have tried to put out suspi cion. You will see more by and by.' They concluded finally to adopt the fol lowing scheme for defence. They encamp ed for the night near a stream of water, which protected them from behind. A large oak tree was felled and a brilliant fire kin dled. Each man cut a log of wood about the size of his body, rolled it up nicely in a blan ket and put his hat rn the end of it, and laid it before the fire, that the enemy might take it for a man. Thirteen logs were fitted out in this man ner, repreentini the sergeant and his twelve men. Thev then placed themselves with the loaded guns, behind the fallen tree. By this time it was dark but the fire was kep burning until midnight. The sergeant knew that if they ever would come, they would come now. A tall Indian was seen through the, pliin merincr of the fire, which was netting low. lie moved towards them skulking as an In-' dian always does. He seemed at first that connected with the higher or linatici::l cir a guard might be watching, but seeing none ' cles of that devoted city. Five honest men lie counted the thirteen men, sleeping as he would have saved Sodom. But no prudent supposed ty the lire. underwriter would take a risk on Piuladel- He counted them again, and retired. pbia, without ten at the very least. Another came up and did the same. Then! " the whole sixteen in number, came up and The .V.t in Virgin in. The Uichmon I dared silently at the lugs, till they seem sat- Enquirer, of 'he 1 1th, thus speaks about the vfed that they were fast asleep. 1 resently they took aim, fired the whole number of runs upon the logs, yelled the war whoop i'nd rushed forward to murder and scalp their supposed victims. Thev were fired upon by the sergeant r.nd his party and not tine of the Indians, was left to tell the story of that night. The serceant and his party be airr.v in saetv. reached . " Pr.o.cr.iPTiov Proscmtikp. " Kendall's Expositor contains n extract of a letter from Bnnnettsville, Alab:.ma, which states that Geo. Holloway. at that place, not having been dismissed, has f.wi.ve the tlrjmrtm'nt. The leticr says: vt ihe close f December, he informed the Department tht lie would not hold office undera Whig Administration; he has received no notice rif the appoint-1 menl of a successor, and now be has inform ed the Department that he will not open the mail after the expiration of sixty days'." This is truly a singular case. Either the letter must have miscarried, or this is one of the "unimportant offices'' w hich the Journal mentioned the other day, which thus far had escaped Mr. Granger's notice. What in the world could have made the Abolition Post master General so careless as to keep nn in dependent Democratic Postmaster in office so long, is a mystery. The fact is, he has been so busy in "reforming Hemocrats out of the more important offices, and hunting up pipe-layers to fill their places, that he has had no time to attend to the case of the im pudent I.ocofocoin Alabama. Never mind. Mr. Holloway, your turn will soon come the "hiiL'e besom of reform," as Pcntice savs, is coming down upon you ''like the rushing of many waters, and you wil' short ly be twirled into retirement so suddenly as to make jour head swim. P. S. It may be that Mr. Granger is at a stand because he can find no pipe-layers in Alabama on whom to bestow bis appoint ments. If Mr. Holioway is in such a hur rv to be superceded, let him advertise for the createst Federal rogue and swindler to be found, and when he gets a first rate appli cation, send his name and a particular list of his "qualifications to Mr. Granger, and the very swiftest mail that comes to Alabama will bring the necessary "documents." Un til hp ran do that, let him forbear his pro- scriptive course cf policy against the Post office Department. From the N. Y. HeraM. DETEHIORATIOX OF THE PUBLIC MOR ALS CONDITION OF PHILADELPHIA. The tendency of every thing in the way of morals in this country, seems to be down ward. VVe are gravitating towards the bot tom, with fearful rapidity. Whether this a inevitable under our form of government, and in the nature of our institutions, remains to be seen. Certain it is, that forgeries de falcations, swindling, stealing robberies, and bank explosions, are multiplying around us in such numbers, as to exceed all precedent, and almost d- fv belief. 7'hiladelphia is at the head and fountain of this new state of morality. There the act of swindling is more thoroughly understood, and more exten sively and successfully practiced'on scien tific principles, than in any other part ofthe country. From Philadelphia, knowledge of this business has spread to the south and west, and at the last advices, roguery was having a pretty fair swing at New Orleans.
