fourth auditor.
It appears that Amos Kendall has set his face
-owardsWashington. An intelligent gentleman
»ho had a long conversation with him in this ci
on the subject of banking and finance, states
his surprise to find that the Fourth Auditor was
,o ignorant as he found him, on the common prin
JL ,.f hinbinir. He appeared a perfect novice
m the science and skill of banking, and enter
tamed the notion that the state banka could unite
and be responsible each for the other, whereby
the government would be secure, and, at the
ijijietime transmit their funds from place to
pice without loss, inconvenience or expense —
Ths safety fund syslem appears to be a favorite
project at' Washington. In this state the safety
fund machinery was established through the in
fluence of the Regency. By ft Legislative act,
the city banks were obliged to come into the
measure or lose their charters. They resisted
the plan until actually forced into it, and now
the? are in no wav liable beyond the yearly tax,
which is required as their contribution. Should
any one of the Banks fail to redeem bills, no call
can be made beyond what has been contributed.
It appears, from what has been developed, that
Ihe agents of the Government are impressed with
the belief that they can extend this system
much farther by obliging the Banks who re
ceive the Government dep«»,it$, to be re-ponsi
ble, pro rtia, for any lo'Sthat may be sustained.
That the banks in" this city and almost every
where else will be glad to receive the Govern
ment deposits, we presume no one can enter
tain a doubt, provided they can pay out the funds
to Government, in the same description of bills
received. But if the Local Bucks are to re
ceive for bonds coltec'eJ. all manner of U. S.
Branch Bills, and p*»y out the same on demand in
specie, and at the sanie time be reaponstb'e for
the solvency of other Banks scattered through
the country, then we presume they will find
some difficulties to be adjusted. The Local
Ranks will never, in our judgment, consent to
such a Safety Fund Sys'em, nor could many of
them do it, without a violation of their charters,
even if inclined. We have no doubt, that how
ever Mr. KeodaM may think himself versed in ihe
science of franking, and however easy it may ap
pear in theory to ariange for a new order of
things, and at the same time have ihe Govern
ment Fuuds secure, he will find before he has
accomplished his object that it is surrounded
with greater chfficul'ies than he at first appre
hended, and that those who have followed the
banking business all their live*, and have made
it a matter of interest and study, are quite as fa
miliar with the subject as hmisi-lf.

W'tevit —The great destruction of wheat pro
duced bv this annoying insect, it is said, may be
prevented by very simple means. In stacking
wheat, if four or five quarts of salt be sprinkled
on cverv hundred sheave, it will be secured from
destruction from the weevil, and will b;**ide»
nuke the straw more valuable as fodder. Or it,
after the wheat is thrashed, a pint of salt is* mix

barrels, (he weevil will not attack it.—Nat. Int.
’Die New York Mirror.—We anticipate for
the future numbers of Mr. Willis’s “l*irst Im
pressions,’’ increased interest and information,
as we learn Irotn him, in a private letter, t'»at he
was, at the date, on his way to Constantinople—
with the prospect of visiting Palermo, lueste,
Corfu, Sinvma, Athens, and Jerusalem.

We have learned, with no little astonishment,
that Mr. Moore,.of Heolucky* has pocketed the
cectificate of election. Will he. under such cir
cumstances, take his seat in Congress? His
friends say he will! His friends may “ reckon ’
truly—but we should be sorrv to entertain simi
lar notions of his Excellency’s chivalry. W e
had ** rather be a dog, and bay the moon,*’ than
* member of Congress, under just such condi
tions—MaysvUle Eagle.
Com Co6*.—Many farmers in this country
have within a few years converted the cobs of
Indian corn to a use formerly unknown.
The corn and cobs are ground together and
Siven swine to and other domestic animals for the
purpose of fattening them. We understand, the
experiments, thus for, hive proved successful,
end that serine and cattle intended for slaughter,
will grew as teat then as on any other fodder. A
gentleman in Shrewsbury, Maas, has for seven or
eight years used earn and cobs craked and ground
together for provender,-and he says it is the beat
he has ever used for fattening cattle. An expe*
riroent was tried a few years ago by feeding one
ox with corn and oats ground, the other with corn
and cobs—the two oxen being so well matched
that no one, on viewing them, was satisfied which
was beat; accordingly they were fed ns above.—
Each ox had an equal quantity at a time, ex
cept the one which bad corn ana oati some days
became dainty, and would not eat his allowance
while the other kept his regular course. The al
lowance for both was about three pecks per day.
The cattle were taken to market, and weighed
about 2800. The one fed on corn and oats had
162 lbs. of tallow. The one that was fed on corn
and cobs had 169 lbs. of tallow, and the purchas
er of the two oxen pronounced the beef of the
latter to be worth half a dollar on the hundred
more than that of the other, on account of the
color of the beef. It has also been proved by ac
tual trial that good and palatable bread may be
made front corn and cobs—ground about half and
half; sifted as usual, and the addition of the usu
al quantity of rye meal.—Portsmouth Journal.
Yankee Enterprise.—A Gentleman not long
since from Mexico, informs us of another speci
men of the enterprise peculiar to the American
character. Vera Crux is tho seaport of Mexico,
distant about two hundred miles. For a long
! period of time three weeks have been occupied
in passing by the regular conveyance between
the two cities until about two years since, when
a regular line of American stages was establish
ed. By this arrangement, the time occupied by
the journev is reduced to five days and the fare
is grO. Our informant says the sensation is
rather a peculiar and gratifying one for an
American to seat himself in a regular built Troy
Coach, drawn by American Horses, with Yan
kees drivers and go through the mountainous
n.u.11 ..f ilia X nilua urilh thf» S.ltnpklml ot In
veiling equipage in which he his been accustomed
to cross the Green Moun taint. The entire estab
lishment was sent out Trout this country and the
principal owners now are three of the Drivers on
! the line, nne of whom ia a native Battleboro,
I Vt. At first, and even at this day, these coach
es are frequently assailed and pelted by the mob,
I who are indignant at the loss of business which has
' been wrested from them, as formerly a vast num
ber of mules and donkeys were accupied iu the
' transportation of passengers. The proprietors,
! it is said received a nett profit of nearly 840.000
each the first year of the experiment, but great
hazards and perilous encounters are had with
| the banditti which constantly infest the moun
i tains.—North. Cottr.
I We understand that Daniel Foster, Naval offi
cer of the port of Newburyport, died yesterday
morning aged nearly seventy. He was a subor
dinate offiter of the troops under the command of
General Lafayette, during the Revolutionary
War, and for one of his gallant exploits ai that
; time, was presented by his illustrious command
i er with a sword, which was in his possession at
the time of hi* decease —Boston Globe.

T7ie Mechanic.—If there is any situation truly
enviable, it is that of an industrious mechanic,
who, by his own unaided exertions, has estab
lished for himself a respectable place in society;
who, commencing in poverty, by his skill and
perseverance, overcomes every obstacle, van
quishes every prejudice, and builds up for himself
a reputation whose value is enhanced for others.
And let it be remembered that this situation is
attainable by all who have health and practical
knowledge of their business. It is a mistaken
idea that fortune deals about her favors blindly,
and with a reckless hand. Industry and virtuous
ambition are seldom exerted in vain.

At his residence at Harper’s Ferry, on Tues
day last, Major James Stephenson, formerly
of Berkeley County, in the 72d yeir of his age.
Few men bare reached the age of three score
and ten, and left behind them a more perfectly
unsullied character. Major Stepbeoson, during
his residence in Berkely, often represented the
County in the General Assembly, and Tor seven
years was a member of Congress from hi* Dis
trict He has left behind him a widow and 6*e
j children, to whom his death it a severe, though
not au unexpected, bereavement.
i On Saturday, August 24, at his farm, near Cin
cinnati, Thomas Townsend, at the age of 67.
' He was a valuable member of society, a native
of Virginia, and a resident of Ohio, partly in
Belmont county, and partly in Hamilton, for ma
ny vears. He was a member of the Grand Ju
rr, at the court now in session, and served part
of the term, was taken ill, returned home, and
paid too little attention to the disease. It assum
ed the character of Cholera, and proved fatal.—
Mr. Townsend lived and died, bearing among
all his acquaintances and friends, and they were
numerous, the high character of a man of unsal
lied integrity, of great liberality «nd of the most
pious deportment, though not associated with any
peculiar religious profession.
