[ET We will send an extra copy to any person 
who remits payment for a club of from six to ten 
subscribers, and continues to act as agent. 
Back numbers from April, containing all of Prof. 
Johnston’s Lectures, can yet be supplied. 
Explanatory. —The absence of the editor du¬ 
ring a portion of each of the past three weeks will 
account for any lack of attention to the details of 
this and other departments of the New-Yorker. 
The meagre illustrations, in this and two preced¬ 
ing numbers, may be attributed to the same cause. 
A Word in Season. 
Just as the Rural is going to press it occurs to 
us that the present is the last number of the 3d 
quarter—and that, consequently, the subscriptions 
of many of our six month patrons (those who com¬ 
menced April 4th, or with No. 14,) now expire.— 
We shall of course be happy to continue the ac¬ 
quaintance of all such, and trust the paper has 
proved sufficiently welcome and interesting to en¬ 
list their good wishes, together with a resolve to 
renew their subscriptions. According to our rule 
not to send the paper to those who may not wish 
it, we discontinue sending to all whose “ time is 
up”—a course which we. consider be.st for both 
subscriber and publisher. We hope, however, to 
receive orders from present and new subscribers,to 
commence with the next number—and would re¬ 
quest those who wish to continue the Rural, to 
invite their friends to unite with them in forming 
clubs. 
- In order to introduce the paper more gen¬ 
erally, we will receive subscriptions for three 
months (Oct. 1st, to January 1st,) at the same pro¬ 
portional rates as for a year. We trust all the 
friends of the New-Yorker will bear this in mind, 
—and that each one who likes the paper and de¬ 
sires its success and popularity will give it his aid, 
HOW. We shall endeavor to make it still more 
worthy of the confidence and support of all, and 
see no good reason why the paper should not have 
ten thousand subscribers before the expiration of I 
the year. Reader, we respectfully solicit your aid 
in this matter—will it be extended ? 
In order to supply all who may desire the Ru¬ 
ral we shall add largely to our present edition, 
next week. Hence, kind friends, send in your 
orders—and if they come by dozens and hundreds 
we will endeavor to give each and all proper at¬ 
tention. _ 
County Agricultural Fairs. 
The reports we have received, and the state¬ 
ments published in our exchanges, indicate tha^ 
the County Fairs recently held in this State, have 
comprised better exhibitions amkheen more nu¬ 
merously attended than for several previous years. 
This is especially true of the shows in Oneida, Jef¬ 
ferson, Wayne and Erie counties. The Oneida 
Fair, (as we leant from Mr. Comstock, whoso re¬ 
port we are obliged to defer,) was highly creditable 
to all concerned. The receipts wore about $1,300, 
which with the amount from the State, will make 
the gross sum of .$1,500—a result as satisfactory 
as unexpected. In our next we shall give notes 
“ drawn at sight” at several of the Fairs just held, 
and those to take place this week. We shall be 
glad to receive reports from our friends in the va¬ 
rious counties where shows are yet to be holden. 
Several Fairs are to bo held during the present 
and coming week—and as this paper will reach 
most of its readers before they occur, we will 
specify the time and place. 
Tlio Monroe County Fair takes place in this city, 
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. 
Seneca Co., at Ovid, 26lh and 27th. 
Madison Co., at Cazenovia, 26th and 27th. 
Orleans, at Albion, 26th and 27th. 
Wayne, Western District, at Palmyra, 25lh and 
26th. 
Ontario, at Canandaigua, Oct. 1st and 2nd. 
Genesee, at Batavia, Oct. 3d and 4th. 
Yates, at Penn Yan, Oct. 4th and 5th. 
We trust that each of these exhibitions will be 
‘‘all right”—that the noble example of Oneida, 
Jefferson, &c., will be properly imitated. Let 
the motto of every member be “Excelsior,” and 
the result will not only be worthy of the Counties 
and Societies but greatly promotive of Rural Im¬ 
provement. 
' Notes from Clifton Springs. 
[Editorial Correspondence of the New-Yorker.] 
A jileasant resort—The Springs House, its host, 4’e. 
— Visitors—Hint to city parents — Improvements — 
The Clifton Water-Cure—Manchester and Phelps. 
Clifton Spa, Sept. 23, 1850. 
“ Rural” and City Readers: —Having passed 
a few days very pleasantly at this delightful water¬ 
ing place—situated on the Railroad, a few miles 
east of Canandaigua, in the midst of a most beau¬ 
tiful and bouptiful agricultural district—permit me 
to make brief mention of a few matters, consider¬ 
ed noteworthy, relative to the Saratoga of Western 
New York. 
Never having visited the Springs until the pres¬ 
ent month, I was not prepared to find so pleasant 
and every-way agreeable and comfortable a resort 
for the invalid or city-sick seeker after health and 
recreation. It is true I had often heard of “Clif¬ 
ton ” and been advised to seek recreation thereat, 
but like thousands of other wayward and mistaken 
souls, whose time and energies are too exclusively 
devoted to business, had as frequently deferred a 
visit which would, as I am now convinced, have 
proved the truth of the opinion of others and 
redounded to my personal benefit. 
The location the of Springs is exceedingly pleas¬ 
ant and salubrious—being on elevated ground, in 
the midst of a fertile rural district. The Springs 
House, kept by Mr. Parke, is commodious and 
well arranged, and affords every comfort and con¬ 
venience desired by reasonable humanity. A 
praiseworthy feature in the management of the es¬ 
tablishment is the fact that “ mine host” and his 
assistants po.ssess the rare faculty of rendering 
visitors “at homo”—are polite and attentive, with¬ 
out show or ostentation—a quality which will be 
appreciated by those who have been subjected to 
the “ noise and confusion” and over-done polite¬ 
ness too often witnessed at some hotels which this 
deponent will not here specify. The appendages 
to the establishment—an excellent bathing house, 
fine grove and promenade ground, a good livery, 
etc.—are all in excellent order, and comprise con¬ 
veniences not to be overlooked by those who desire 
to recreate advantageously. 
Though comparatively late in the sea.son, there 
are yet quite a number of sojourners here. Among 
the recent and present boarders, I notice on the 
register the names of persons from Geneva, Elmi¬ 
ra, Canandaigua, Rochester, Chicago, Milwaukee, 
and other places—including a number of ladies 
with invalid children. Speaking of children, a 
fact worthy of mention, and of interest to parents, 
has come to ray knowledge. A very respectable 
physician here. Dr. Crawford, informs me that, 
among the large number of invalid children every 
year brought to the Springs for the benefit of their 
health, not a death has occurred to his knowledge. 
This fact requires no comment, as it furnishes 
abundant evidence of the unusual salubrity of the 
place. It is to be feared that many parents resid¬ 
ing in cities have yet to learn that a change from 
the poisonous atmosphere of the pent-up town to 
the free, pure and invigorating air of the God-made 
countr}% is the best medicine, in many cases, for 
their feeble and suflering offspring. 
Mr. Parke is constantly adding to the present 
attractions of the Springs by improving his build¬ 
ings and grounds. Among the improvements of 
the place, is the recent erection of a large and 
commodious building, at a cost of some ,$12,000, 
for a Water-Cure—designed and claimed to be, in 
size and structure, the “ model Water-Cure of 
America.” Though not familiar with the con¬ 
struction of similar establishments, an examina¬ 
tion of this one impresses me with the belief that 
it will possess peculiar facilities and conveniences. 
It is designed to furnish accommodations for near¬ 
ly 100 patients. The establishment is to be in ex¬ 
perienced hands. Henry Foster, M. D., a gen¬ 
tleman of ability, who has had considerable expe¬ 
rience at the Lowell, Mass., and New Groefenberg 
Water-Cures, is the medical director. The fe¬ 
male department will be under the charge of Miss 
S. R. Adamson, a lady thoroughly educated for 
the medical profession. The Matron selected for 
the institution is Mrs. F. Wakefield, late of the 
Glenhaven Water-Cure—said to be a lady of su¬ 
perior qualifications for the responsible position .she 
is to occupy. The Rev. E. S. Davis, who has 
previously had charge of a Water-Cure, is Super¬ 
intendent of the establishment, and has secured all 
necessary a.ssistants in addition to tho.se mentioned 
above. A brief acquaintance with Messrs. Davis 
and Foster, (and some of the patients under their 
charge,) has led me to form a favorable opinion of 
their qualifications, as well as of the success of the 
enterprise in which they have embarked. The 
establishment is nearly completed and will be rea¬ 
dy for the reception of patients in a few days; in¬ 
deed a number have already arrived at the Springs 
House, and are awaiting its opening. Although 
not a thorough disciple of the practice, I give this 
brief notice of the “Clifton Water-Cure”—with¬ 
out the request, knowledge or consent of any per¬ 
son interested—for the information of believers in 
the faith, and those who desire to avail themselves 
of the benefits that may be derived from water- 
cure treatment. Its facilities, location, <&:c., are 
certainly superior. 
“ Clifton,” by the way, is in Manchester, a fine 
farming town, which, according to the recent cen¬ 
sus, contains a population of some 3,000—being an 
increase of about 250 since 1845. The Springs 
House is only a few rods west of the line of Phelps, 
the most fertile and productive town, I believe, in 
Ontario county. Want of time prevented me 
from taking particular note, as I hope to do here¬ 
after, of many fine farms observed in a drive thro’ 
a portion of this famous district. The fact that 
the Rural Nf.\v-Yorker, has (through the agency 
of S. E. Norton, Esq., of Vienna.) nearly one 
hundred and fifty subscribers in the town of Phelps 
;s some evidence of the discrimination and enter¬ 
prise of its inhabitants, and not their least recom¬ 
mendation in the estimation of the writer hereof ! 
But I must close this already too lo»g epistle.— 
Ere adding finis, however, permit me to express 
the hope that the care worn citizens of Rochester 
and other populous towns in the Empire State, 
will, another season, become more familiar with 
this popular and pleasant retreat—for I know of 
no place, so accessible, that is better calculated to 
invigorate both the mental and physical energies. 
Yours truly, M. 
Milwaukee. — Crops ini Wisconsin, &c 
[Correspondence of Uie Rural New-Yorker.] 
This city partakes of that indomitable spirit to 
“ go-ahead,” that so much characterizes almost 
all parts of the great west. Sixteen years ago but 
one white family, that of Solomon Juneau, resi¬ 
ded here. In 1840, there were 1,700 inhabitants. 
Now, in 1850, there are 20,000 and upward !— 
giving an increase in the two past years of 6,000. 
The energy and business of the place keep pace 
with this rapid increase, and will vie with any of 
its sister cities. 
Substantial and costly edifices, mostly of brick, 
are fast taking the places of the earlier wooden 
one.s, and already Milwaukee is assuming an 
appearance of age that might indicate more 
years than her history now does. Speaking 
of brick.—Large quantities of them and of a supe¬ 
rior quality are manufactured both for home con¬ 
sumption and transportation. The clay of which 
they are made is very fine and nice, deposited in 
thin layers, indicating a deposition originally in still 
water. When manufactured, the bricks have a 
yellowish cast,—many of them, a fine straw color. 
This is attributed to the absence of iron. 
The streets, for the most part, are decidedly too 
narrow; and the yet narrower walks, encumbered 
with wares, lumber and rubbish, make strolling 
any thing but a pleasant and agreeable pastime. 
In many respects, the business of Milwaukee, 
the present season, has been dull. This is owing 
in part to the prevalence of the cholera, which has 
afflicted the place to quite an extent. It is how¬ 
ever now abated, so far that a case seldom occurs. 
Business is therefore fast reviving—though the 
condition of the wheat crop will prevent it from 
becoming as brisk as it might otherwise have been; 
for the crop is more than usually short. In many 
parts, the severe winter weather injured it materi¬ 
ally. Then the early drougth affected it in a 
measwe, whilst in many places the rust came upon 
it; and lastly, the unusually wet weather has injured 
great quantities, both in the field and stack. This 
is particularly the case in the northern parts, where 
the rains have been unprecedented, making the 
roads almost impassable, destroying much of the 
hay clip and injuring potatoes and other spring 
crops materially. Whatever the cry may be, it is 
certain that the wheat crop of this young and vig¬ 
orous State, both in quantity and quality, is much 
below the average yield. This, with the injuiy 
sustained by other products of the soil aim the low 
price obtained in market, will make money mat¬ 
ters, with a great portion of the people, tight indeed. 
Wisconsin is bound to be one of the most noble 
States of this great confederation. She has all the 
elements of greatness and of prosperity within her, 
and her people are working them out with a wis¬ 
dom and foresight that might well be emulated by 
many of her older sisters. On the subject of edu¬ 
cation she has taken a noble stand, guaranteeing 
in her Constitution to every child between the ages 
of four and twenty within her borders the full free¬ 
dom of her schools—while, at the same time, she 
has laid the ground work for a munificent school 
fund. Michigao is following the example, by 
adopting in Convention a clause in her Constitu¬ 
tion for the establishment of free schools; and also 
* 
of an Agricultural one, as soon as circumstances 
shall warrant. 
That is right. Unseal the doors that have hith¬ 
erto been guarded at the fountain of knowledge 
and let the thirety soul bathe itself just as freely as 
the physicial body would at the mountain spring, 
and we may look to see society throughout the 
breadth and length of the land vastly purified, 
elevated and ennobled. May the time speedily 
come when the means of education shall be open 
and free to all within the borders of this Republic. 
No stronger bulwark could we build to defend our 
liberties from encroachment than the school-house, 
whose doors shall gladly and freely welcome upon 
one and the same platform of equality all who may 
come. t. e. w. 
Mihvauhee, Wis., Sept., 1850. 
A Pleasant Incident- 
Under the above heading our neighbor of the 
Daily Advertiser says :—“ Just as tlie Provincial 
Fair was closing at Niagara, our townsman, E. C. 
Williams, who had been employed by the Com¬ 
mittee of Arrangements to erect the tents, awnings, 
flags, .&c., presented the Committee, through their 
President, J. Marks, Esq., of Kingston, a splen¬ 
did British flag, made in this city. The gift was 
accepted by the Committee, who awarded Mr. 
Williams a diploma for the manufacture, and vo¬ 
ted him a life membership in the Provincial Agri¬ 
cultural Society. The President, on receiving the 
flag, remarked to Mr. W., in a sportive manner : 
‘ IVe will take the flag, but woe to you \f you ever 
come to cut it doicn.’ The doner replied, in the 
same good humor, ‘ If my country calls, I shall 
be the first man to perform that service.’ We 
trust the countrymen of the giver, and the recipi¬ 
ents, may never have occasion to contend for the 
mastery of that flag, or any other.”

REMARKS. 
Sept. 16th. Very fine day—warmer than yes¬ 
terday. 
17th. Warm and delightful weather. 
18th. Continues—lightning at 3 in tlie morning 
—showery through the day with thunder—not 
much rain. 
19th. Cloudy and sultry—began to rain a little 
before noon—fine rain. 
20th. Fair—a little cooler. 
21 st. Warmer—fair day. 
22d. Sunday: Very warm day—the warmest 
but one since the beginning of the month. The 
temperature of Sept. 1, from three observations 
was 75; that of the 22d may be seen in the table 
above. The forests still wear a splendid green 
hue. The latter harvest, e.specially the Indian corn, 
is coming bountifully. 
Large Gold Coins. —An important measure to 
commerce, in connexion with the gold of Califor¬ 
nia, has just been brought forward in the Senate 
by Mr. Gwinn, Senator from that new State. It 
proposes, virtually, that gold coins of the value of 
from one hundred to ten thousand dollars each 
shall be struck at the mint. 
The circular form hitherto universally followed 
for small coins, which had its origin in the rude, 
ancient contrivances of dropping the melted metal 
from a ladle, to be then struck with a punch and 
hammer, adapts them to our purses, but would 
not be appropriate for these gigantic coins, design¬ 
ed for heavy transactions at home and exchanges 
abroad. For these purposes they should be rec¬ 
tangular, that they may be convenient for packing 
in boxes. 
These huge rectangular coins are but a valua¬ 
ble and ingenious improvement upon the limited 
and already existing system of European bankers. 
They are to be struck of refined gold, of uniform 
fineness, and with appiopriate legends and devi¬ 
ces, similar to those upon our smallef'coins, with 
their values conspicuously marked, and the in¬ 
scriptions LIBERTY and UNITED STATES 
OF AMERICA. Counterfeiting and mutilation 
are provided against by suitable contrivances and 
penal enactments. [Union, Friday. 
Anticipated Advent or 3000 Hungarians.— 
Mr. Alexander Lukacs, amemberof the late rev¬ 
olutionary Congress of Hungary, arrived in New 
York a few days ago, and has gone West for the 
purpose of purchasing a large tract of land, from 
10,000 to 100,000 acres, for the use of some 3,- 
000 of his countrymen, mostly farmers who are 
preparing to emigrate from Central Hungary.— 
The proposed colony will probably be in Illinois 
or Iowa. A colony such as Mr. Lukacs contem¬ 
plates establishing, would be an honor to any 
country, and we wish the brave Hungarians ev¬ 
ery success in the land of the free. 
Railroad from the Lakes to the Missis¬ 
sippi —An English capitalist is to loan a uiMion 
of dollars for the completion of the road from Fond 
du Lac down the Rock River Valley, Wisconsin, 
to Janesville, and thence to some point on the 
Galena and Chicago road. An agent has arrived 
in Chicago, says the Tribune, on his route to 
Janesville, with blank bonds to be filled and sign¬ 
ed by the officers of the Valley Railroad Co., im¬ 
mediately after which, the Hon. Rob’t J. Walker, 
(ex-Secrelarv of the Treasury,) will take them 
and proceed to Europe to close the arrangement.

A Railroad in Wisconsin. —The Milwaukee 
Sentinel of the 13th has the following announce¬ 
ment of the opening of the first railroad in Wis¬ 
consin:— 
The first rails of the Milwaukee and Mississip¬ 
pi Railroad were laid down yesterday, and the first 
locomotive for the road arrived the same evening 
on the schooner Abiah from Buffalo. This loco¬ 
motive is of the largest size and best pattern, 
weighing some 20 tons, and built in excellent 
style.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP 
PACIFIC. 
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. 
Quickest Passage Ever Made 
New York, Sept. 21—P. M 
The Steamship Pacific, Collins line. Capt. Ez¬ 
ra Nye, was telegraphed off Sandy Hook about 
half past three o'clock this afternoon. She 
came up the bay and harbor in grand style, and 
arrived at her wharf at 6^ o'clock. She left Liv¬ 
erpool on Wednesday the 11th inst. at 2 P. M. 
and has therefore made the passage across the 
Atlantic in 10 days and 5 hours—11 hours quick¬ 
er than any other American steamer, and IS houro 
quicker than any British steamer ever made the 
passage from Liverpool to New York. 
She brings seventy passengers and a valuable 
cargo of freight. 
The steamer Niagara, from New York, arrived

although the potato disease is making further pro¬ 
gress.
