I rt'inomhei an account you lately published

truth, ivc are compelled lv yield our assent t,"
i s correctness,
Every age is replete with something curious
and wonderful, and we are warned not to be
too lavish of our commendation, while tlie
point to which tlie ar's shall attain is still so far
beyond our ken. I recoiled Koine four or five
years after the inlto luc loti nt steam vessels On
the great wes'ern waters, that an enl-rprising
navigator, I think Gapi- tjnrteve, performed
the voyage from New Orleans to Louisville,
Kentucky, to thirty days, and such tint then
the wonder ctr.ited by the etplml, that the citi
zens of I.ouisvnle honored him with a public
dinner. The slot tiling ol Pclionmla was scarce
ly more astounding to the unlives, than llie
flews at Louisville of his remitt liable voyage,
by which all the obstacle* in the navigation of
Die American Nile, and even those of space
and the elements, were surmounted by Gapt.
Shrieve Vet, strange ns il may seem, since

danced attendance around her.

ly imagined that such H ctop could be grown,
as I mu now about to report fur the f armer.
onuoieo you will receive an account or a crop

It was politely furnished me by Col. Mii'ard

GRAPES—ASPARAGUS

The individual who trikes Ihe liberly to ad

to either, his pretensions are humble, vet bum

wealth—agriculture ; and that must pleasing of

have paid some attention to the cultivation of
the grape—and have found from experience,
that the coal dust, cinders, and scales til iron1
or black oxide of iron, from Ihe black-smith's
forge, when properly mixed with foie garden

(act, that crapes thrive best in volanic district? ;
tiiat led nre to use the above as a dressing for
the grape, and found it to exceed my most san
guine expectation, lam not aware, that the
mi dial ill question, has been used hv any ex
cept myself am* a few of my Irieiids in this
county. I mentioned ii to a most iniletatigehle

I have also made use of finely pulverised oysier
shi lls, well incorporated with ihe earth, in
which it is planted, or well dug m nlwui the
routs of old beds. Its ejects are astonishing,
especially on old beds—it in fact regenerates
them. The asparagus is, as is well known, a
marine plant. Fresh oyster shells partake
largely of marine quali ies. What could he

RACE HORSES.
It lias been imagined that the breed i f racing

led. This is not the ease. Thorough-bred
h. rses were formerly fewer in number, and '
their performances created greater wonder, j
The breed has now inert esed twenty fold, ami j
superiority is not so easily obtained among so '
many competitors. If one circumstance coil'd, i
more than any other, produce this degeneracy,
it would be our ubsurd and cruel habit'of
training our horses too soon, and ih« frequent j
failure of their legs before they have come to
i heii full power. Chil lers and Eclipse did not
appear tint il they were five years old ; hut m»
ny of our best horses, and those, perhaps, who '
would have shewn equal eicellenco with the
most celebrated racers, are foundered and ties
(roved before ,hat period.
Whether the introduction of short races, and
So young horses, hi advantageous, and whe

ing, and as the test of breeding.
The horse enters into the spi'ft sof i he race
as thoroughly as does his rider, and, without
whip or spur, will generally etcrl his enei ,'1®8
to the utmost to beat his opponent. It is beau
tiful to see him advancing to the starting post,
every motion evincing his eagerness, i he
-igual is given, and ha Springs awav—he set
tles himselfin his stride—the jockey becomes
a part and portion of him, every motion of the
arms and body corresponding wilh, and assisi.
ing the action of the horse. On lie goes, eager
yel husbanding his powers. At length, when
lie a rives at (hat distance from which tiie rider
knows tha' he will live hume ai the 6top of hi*
speed, the hint i, given, and he rushes- Tneii
the race in reality begins, and every nerve is
strained to head Ins competitor. Thin, too,
comes the art of the rider, to keep the horse,
within his pace, and with admirable give nnd
take, add to the length of every stride, ihen,
perhaps, the spur, skilfully applied, may he ne
cessary to louse every dormant energy. A
sluggish lurching horse may need more pun
ishment than the humane observer would think
justifiable. But the natuial ardor of the race
horse, roused at the moment of the grand
struggle, by the moderate application of the
whip and spur, will bring him through if he can

waiting behind, was gaining upon him ; he over
took him, and they continued quite close to

scarcely be decided. But Forrester’! strength
was failing. He made one desperate plunge
seized hit' antagonist by the jaw to hold him
hack, and could scarcely be forced to quit his
hold. In hke manner, a hoise belonging to
Mr. liuin, in 175d, finding his adversary gra
dually passing him, seized him by the leg, and

There is no portion of the life of Byron
which lias more ear.iled public curiosity and
discussion than the painful event of his si pai n
linn from his lady. folilowed as it whs by the
relinquishment of his nalivu country. With
out intruding on the privacies of life, il is there
fore with some degree of satisfation thal we find
ourselves in a situation to lay some explana
timi of this matter before our readers, bv re
printing the following letter, which ladv Byron
has addressed in Mr Moore, nsa cnniiueutacy
upon certain passages in the fust volume of his
memoirs, recently published. Il is a moderate
but meaning document, and must give tise to
much cogitation •
“I have disregarded various publications in
which facts within my own knowledge have
been grossly misrepresented : hut lam called

ton, who was intimately acquainted with all
the circumstances, to state in writing wnat he
recollected upon this subject, I received from
him the following letter, by which it will be,
manifest that my mother cannot have been
actuated by any hostile or ungeoeruus motives
toward* Lord Byron :
■ • My dear Lady Hymn,—I <an rely upon the
accuracy of niy memory for the following
lialeincnt. I was originally consulted by Lady
Noel on your beh«lf. whilst yon were in ilia
country ; the circumstances detailed by liar
were such asjustified a separation, but they
were not of that aggravated description, as to
render each a measure indispensable. On
Lady Noel's representation, I deemed a reconei
lation with Lord Byron practicable and felt
most sincerely a wish t<> aid in effecting it. ,
There was not on Lady Noel's part any • sag. j
geration of the facts ; nor, so far »i l could pci. ■
ceive. any delerminalioo to preveoi a return to !
Lord Byron : certainly none was expressed
when I spuke of a reconciliation. When you I
came to town in about a fortnight, or perhaps j
more, niter my first interview with Lady Noel, ]
I w as for the first time informed by you of
facts utterly unknown, as I have no doubt, to
Sir Ralph and Lady Noel. On receiving this
additional information my opinion was entirely
changed : I considered a reconciliation impossi
ble. 1 declared my opinion, and added that if
such an idea should be enteriained, I could
