Supper ended, they lett us. Our hosts slept below, we on the story wh-re we had been eating. In a sort of platform, raised 7 or feet, un-re we were to mount by a ladder, was the bed that awaited us a nest into which we had to introduce ourselves by jumping over barrels tilled with provisions for all the year.

My comrade seized upon th bed above, and was soon fast asleep, with his head upon the precious portmanteau. 1 was determined to Jteep awake, so 1 made a good lire, and sal myself down. The night was passed riainpiilly rnough, and I was be-iiming to leel comfortably enough, wl: just at the tune when it appeared to m- that day was about to break, 1 heard our host and his wife talking'and disput ing below me and put tin" my ear into the clnmn-y which ciiiniTiuuicaled with the lower room, I perfectly distinguished these exact words of the husband Well, well, let us see; must we kill them both To which tlie wile replied i.

Heavens when I think upon it! we two were almost without arms; against us were 1'2 or 15 who had plenty of weapons. And then my comrade dead of sleep and fatigue To call him up, to make a noise was more than I dared, to escape was an impossibility. The window was not very high, but under it were two great dogs, howling like wolves. Imagine if you can, the distress I was in. At the end of a quarter of an hour which r.eemed an agi I heard some one on the stair rase, and tnioilgn me ciiiik oi hi- uu.ms i the old man, with a lamp in one hand, and one of his great knives in the other.

He mounted, his wife alter him; 1 was behind the door he opened it; but before he came in he put down the lamp, which his wife took up; and coming in. with his foot naked, she being behind him, said in a smothered voice, hiding, the light partially with her fingers 'Gently, go gently." When he reached the ladder be mounted, with his knife between bis teeth and going to the head of the bed, where the young man lay with his throat uncovered, with one hand he took his knife and with the other oh, my cousin he seized a ham which hung from the rool, cut a slice, and retired as he came in. 1 ne (loo) is re-shut, the light vamsnes, auu i am reu to mv reflections.

The following from the Cincinnati Chronicle embraces compartively but a small district of our country. From the airricnltural statistics of the census of IS I'i.

and other reports since, it appears that a section of country around Cincinnati, including twenty-nine counties in Ohio, twenty-one in Eastern Indiana, twenty-six in Kentucky, and eleven in Western Virginia, making in all eighty seven counties, produced in 1S10, as follows; Of Indian corn bushels of wheat bush-Is of oats bushels: of bailey bushels. The follow ing conclusions are adduced: 1. That the com and wheat raised around Cincinnati, in lSI'i, was equal to ont-tichih that entire I'nited Sates. That, at the rate of European cultivation, it would be one-half of the whole raised in tlie I'nited States. 2.

That the quantity actually raised in 1 1 fi, within these limits, would feed sir niii'i'ii of people and their cattle and horses. i. That lorkanl Boston, ritiesuitn: half a million inhabitants, are the marts of a i country ith but five millions of inliabitantsy and whose people do not raise wheat and cryfi enough to f-ed themselves!

For th- origin of anti-rent Mr. Van Rensselear and his counsel are rospons.ble. For its extended evils and liueliiefs we are indebted to the of its objects and character.

evils are to be traced to the re.n.mis of the wtselv suffered to exist which w-re un it! our own new form of (uivcrmnent. Wlun these evils began to show themselves the part of true wisdoin suggested tlieir correction. But instead ol this, the pow er of tlie Government, civil and malitary, and tlie whole lorce of pula- sentiment, were 1, in nini ins- bo rnmn aineil ol "i 1 and remonstrated against the lurking remains ot feudalism. If anti-rent, taking oilier forms, has extended toother counties, it is because the public sentiment justified Mr. Van Rensselaer in turning a dea ear to the appeals of his tenants.

The people and the Legislature, instead of joining in loud denunciations of these tenants, should have set about correcting what was vicious and oppressive in their system of leasing land. Th-re were real, positive, undeniable grounds for complaint on the part of the tenants of the manor Reiis.sela-rwyck. Had they been met, by the proprietors, in a proper spirit or bad those dors been even selfishly wise the whole dilfieulty would have been arranged.

How tub peoples' money goes. The shameful profusion and extravagance of Municipal and Federal Locofoco administrations in this country are notorious. Various are the artifices employed to screen the guilty participators who, upon every occasion, show themselves as cnger and prompt to plunder at home as in Mexico. Sometimes their rapacious practices are defended by pertinacity and insolence, as in the case of Comptroller Flagg, at Albany but commonly, the method adopted is unscrupulous and clamorous recrimination, as in the case of the Locofoco press passim-.

The immense absorption of the public monies is in many ways past finding out but in other many ways, quite comprehensible. Besides the professed and known hirelings of the profligate preitominants of the clay, (a dark day for the country and the cause of holiest liberty.) we would direct the attention of our readers to the tone and tenor of the so-called neutral Sunday Press. L'nder the tiitguite ol' their vociferated neutrality, the Sunday journals, almost without exception, have, since they discovered, one after another, the tm-ile manageableness of the totter, ing and truculent curators of the treasury, espoused the cause of the administration, and their confidence increasing with their peculant revenue, they are enlarging their operations, and becoming more and more decidedly anti-whig, anti-independent, and obsequiously pro-administration and pro-tammany. The facility with which the incumbent Executive combination is managed and used by its own creatures, is more apparent and more un- country to trie anion i public money and prop-rty It is a matter of comment wherever 1 go every one talking about it yet no one lifts up his voice to direct public attention to it.
