Fortunatel j for the Captain, ti man

on him early in "the spring f 1833, to

Captain promptly- toll him that he

getting something for the negroes and

Middlcton, jn hisdifo of Cicero, tells
us that ihe first great speech of that or
ator, his defence of Roscious of Ameria,
was made at the ags of twenty seven;
the same age. ha adds, at which the
learned have remarked, that demosthe
nes distiugutsha 1 himself in the assem
bly of ihe Athenians: "As if this were
the use,11 (I quote his own words) "at
which those great geniuses regularly
bloomed towards maturity.'' It is rnth-
cr curious, than important, to observe,
that Mr. Henry furnished another in
stance in support of this theory ; since it
was piecit-i in mi; naiiuT i-.u ui ma i
life, that his talents first became known
to himself and to tho world. Nor let
the admirer of anliquity revolt at our
coupling the name of Henry with those
of Cicero and Demosthenes: it can be no
derrra datio.i to the orator ether of
Greece or Rome, that his name stands
enrolled on the same page with that of
a man of whom such a jude of eloquance
as JelTerson has said, "that he was the
"rcalest orator that ever lived." Wirt.

an oratbn will sufficiently show. It
was delivered on the forth of July, at
Lancaster, Wisconsin Territory. The
speaker, after stating that Europe was
no xchar: thai she was a mere obsolete
idea in comparison to us, proceeded in
this fashion :

industry and business tact soon cmassed

failed. A correspondent of the N. York

speaks of her fall :
The failure of Miss . of Missis

to whom she ows gGO.OOO. Several
hou.es are in for large amounts, from
.$4,000 to $15,000. The commercial
enterprise and career of this woman
has been most extraordinary. Her credi1
was unbounded for years. She made
her reo-ular visits to this market, and
took off large amounts of every
description of merchandise, and always
rnaid no nnncnmllv. She was estimated
to be very rich; one is a woman oi
masculine proportions, ana when she
used to attend the auction sales to make
her purchases, would crack and en
j y a j"ke with sny man. and was al
ways the occasion of a great deal of

Corn-stalk Sugar. In our May
number of the volume for 1844, we
gave a communication on this subject
from Mr. John Beal, of New Harmony
ndiana. It appears that Mr. B. has
been still more successful the present
year than he was last. We are inform
ed that ho has made three hundred and
ninety-five pounds of good sugar this
season, Irom the corn-stalks which
grew on threo quarters of an acre,
which is at the rate of five hundred
pounds per acre. His plan is said to
be as follows: When the cars begin to
brm they are pulled off. When tire
caves aredead about halfway up, the
stalk is stripped of leaves, cut up at the
root, the top cut off, and then ground in
a surra r mill. iwentv sta ks wi I
w -
yield about one pound and a half, and of
this three-fourths is grained sugar.
Mr. B. made eighty pounds in a day,
with a simple apparatus of his own con
struction. Five hundred rounds, at
i - j
four cents per pound, is twenty dollars
per acre. 1 would have p-oduced say
fifty bushels of corn, at twenty-five cts;
or twelve dollars and a half. Albany

And let us all pray, said the Captain.
O most holy and righteous God, thou
knowest what was our situation before
we got Billy Bosher thou knowest
that we could neither feed our negroes
or horses, or send our cnildren to school
not even pay our taxes. And now O
God, thou seest we feed our poor tdav-s
and 'our horses, and send our children
tochool, and pay our taxes besids -we
have plenty of meat and plenty of bread.

have fawt our way up. First came the
war of tba revolution. Tho colonic s
cut their way out of it, through blood
and carnage and thunder. They tore
their blanket wide oping. Onst or
twist it looked like a mighty slim chance:
but they cut nnd scared and tore and
slathered away like blazes, (cheering)
They grappled John Bull like a pack
of bull tarrier3. They tuck him by
the haunches; they grappled the win
pipe and at last they made him bellow
like bloody thunder. Washington
sheathed tho sword. The gentle olive
branch of peace waved her green and
luxuriant foliage in majesty over the
shores of Columbia; and foreigners
flecked in and built their nests with us
amon" its sheltered boughs. But a
few more years had rolled away down
the railroad track of time, when John
Bull again came bellowing up the Miss
issippi, pawing up on his back the rich
sile of Louisiana, and horning the bank
of sayed river and lashing his tail like
fury. But just below New Orleans
he found iho gret Jackson, and he
could shake him no more than an oxen,
he couldn't shy re! (Great applause)
Jackson stood thar like a taurieror, and
met John Bull as he adva need, every
time. At last he hit a lick, right back
in under between the horns, that knock
ed the breth out of him, and sent him
off reeling and blatiog and bellowing
like he felt disagreeable at the stumtk

Pol&toc Sugar. The growers of po
tatoes in the British kingdom are like
ly to be benefitted by the exertions of
the home sugar manufacturers, who
are now determined to purchase all
that comes within their reach. At the
manufactory of potatoe suggar at Strat
ford, in cssex, and other places, we un
derstand that the "fruit of ihe earth,"
potatoe, will be taken in any quantity
and at a fair price. We have no doubt
that theju.ee of the cane is superior to
the meal of the potatoe, but we have
positive proof ihat the potatoe can make
up in quantity what is deficient in quaU
ity, and as no one can question ihe neu
triment in the potatoe, we do not see
why potatoa sugar should not be as ad
vantageous to the tea or coffee table as
the potatoe is to the dinner table; bo
this as it may we have it on good au
thority that three tons of the raw ma-'
terial will produce one ton orthpmanu
facturcd article, and consequehtly the
British manufacturer can successfully
compete with tho foreign and colonial
producer, and pay the same duty as
that which is levied on the sugar im
ported from the colonies. London
