MOORE'S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL, lITERaRY AND RAMILY NEWSPARER. 
Arrival of the Pacific. 
Thk steamer Pacific arrived at New York 
Oct. 2, with dates from Liverpool to the 22d ult. 
Despatches from Gen. Simpson from the seat 
of war have been received by the Government 
of England, describing the assault and capture 
of the Malakoff. He says at 12 o’clock on the 
morning of the 8th of September, the French 
columns, under Gens. Bosquet, McMahon and 
De La Motheronge, entered and carried the 
Malakoflf with the mo:.t impetuous valor.— 
The British columns stormed the Redan, but 
alter a bloody combat they were repulsed. A 
second assault on the Redan could not be or¬ 
ganized until the following morning, when the 
fort was found to be evacuated. The English 
attack was led by Sir W. Cobrington and Lt. 
Gen. Markham. The officers killed in the at¬ 
tack on the Redan were 25. The wounded I2G, 
including 20 dangerously. 
Gen. Pellissier’s despatches had not arrived. 
The retreat of the Russians to Perekop was 
contradicted. It was expected that they 
would be unable to hold the north of Sebasto¬ 
pol for the want of provisions. 
Nothing decisive was known in regard to 
the next movement of the Allies. Four thou¬ 
sand cannon and 50,000 balls and numerous 
stores of gunpowder were taken possession of 
by the Allies at Sebastopol. 
A despatch of the 11th, says the greatar part 
of the southern fortifications, left standing by 
the Russians, had been blown up by the Al¬ 
lies. The Russians began to make their ap¬ 
pearance in small groups, among the ruins of 
the town. 
The Czar Alexander, in an address to his 
army, says: I rely confidently upon your 
courage to repel all future attacks,—and in a 
letter to the King of Prussia, states that he 
will accept no conditions of peace derogatory 
to Russia. The Czar, in company with three 
of the Grand Dukes, has signified his inten¬ 
tions of proceeding to the Crimea. 
The Turks still hold Kars, having repulsed 
the Russians on the 7th of August. 
No news from the Baltic. 
Markets. —The following is from the circu¬ 
lar of James McHenry & Co., dated Liverpool, 
Sept. 22. 
Provisions—The stock of bacon is exhausted. 
The announcement of the Government con¬ 
tract for 9,000 tcs. and 7,500 bbls. beef, and 
23,090 tcs. and 23,COO bbls. pork, has given 
more tone to both articles, without increased 
business. Pork moves slowly for export at 75 
to 80s. The demand for choice is slacking. 
Lard in request at G0a6 2 b. 
Breadstuifs—The French demand continues 
to take off flour at very full prices, chiefly 
Spanish and English sacks. But little Ameri¬ 
can here ; West Canal 40s ; Philadelphia and 
Baltimore 41a42s ; Ohio 42a44s. Wheat in re¬ 
quest for present aud future delivery at 12sa 
12s6J for white, and 61 less for red. Indian 
corn dull,—white 45s ; yellow 49 ; mixed 49. 
Arrival of the North Star. —The steamship 
North Star arrived at New York Oct. 5, from 
Havre, via. Cowes, Sept. 22.1, with 112 passen¬ 
gers. Her London dates are the same as those 
by the Pacific. She passed the Cunard steamer 
Asia on the 30th, in lat. 48°, Ion. 46°, and the 
Collins steamer Baltic Oct. 4, in lat. 40° 25', 
Ion. 69° 40'. 
Monsieur O. Delepierre has written an es¬ 
say to prove that Joan of Arc, or Joanne Dare, 
as she is sometimes called, was not burned at 
the stake. History says that she was burned 
at Rouen by the English in 1431 for heresy, 
but M. Delepierre has discovered records show¬ 
ing that she secretly escaped to Erlon, in the 
duchy of Luxembourg ; that she there married 
Messire de Hermoise, Knight, and that she 
was alive in 1444, thirteen years after the as¬ 
sumed burning. M. Delepierre's essay has 
been privately printed in Paris, under the 
title of Doute Ilistorique. 
Canada Canals. —The agitation of the pro¬ 
ject for a ship canal from Georgian Bay to lake 
Ontario, has waked up the advocates of the 
Ottawa route, by which it is contended a ship 
communication can easily be opened from lake 
Huron to the St. Lawrence. The canal would 
be 430 miles long—from Lachine to lake Hu¬ 
ron—and a little over six hundred feet of lock- 
age. 
The Kinney Expedition. —A letter in the 
Tribune from New Orleans, states that active 
efforts are being made in that region to enlist 
recruits for the Walker and Kinney expedi¬ 
tion. Several wealthy planters have subscrib¬ 
ed large sums, and others have agreed to em¬ 
igrate there with their slaves. The fund 
already guaranteed Kinney, it is said, amounts 
to over $5,000,000. 
Naval Apprentices. —An extract of a letter 
from Lieut. Commanding Porter, of the U. S. 
storeship Supply, now in the Mediterranean, 
says: “The apprentice boys on board our 
ship are doing well. They work all the sails 
on the mizzsn-mast, and compete favorably 
with the other stations 'throughout the ship. 
In one year they will make good ordinary sea¬ 
men.” / 
For Japan.— A splendid pair of cljivn.deliors 
for the Emperor of Japan, being a portion of 
the presents authorized by the U. S. Govern¬ 
ment, were on Friday week put on board the 
U. S. steamship San Jacinto, to be forwarded 
to their destination. They are in bronze and 
gilt, and cost about $500.

miles from Troy, N. Y., comprising 11 head of breeding 
Cows and about 9 head of bulls. Heifer and Bull Calves. 
The originals of this fine herd wore selected wish great 
care through importations from Eugland and purchases 
in this country, and they have been bred with equal care,

Boy,” bred by John T. Davy. Ksq., of South Moulton, 
Devonshire, England, and editor of the English Devon 
Herd Book. This Bull, as will be seen by his pedigree,

land affords, and for perfection in symmetry, vicor&ud 
sprightly action, it will be difficult to find his superior.— 
JHls get, as will be seen in the Herd, will attest his superi¬ 
ority as a stock getter. Tuore is also among the Herd a 
beautiful 4 years old heifer, and her bull calf ■ she was

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL R. R. COMPANY. 
Is noio prepared to sell over two millions of acres 
of selected 
PRAIRIE, FARM AND WOOD LANDS, 
In Tracts of 40 Acres and Upwards, 
To suit purchasers, on long credits and at low rates of 
interest. 
They were granted by the Government to encourage 
the building of this Railroad, which runs from the ex¬ 
treme north to the extreme south of the State of Illinois. 
Ita psses, from end to end, through the richest and most 
fertile Prairies of the State, dotted here and there with 
magnificent Oak Groves. The recent opening of nearly 
600 miles of this road throws open the lands for cultiva¬ 
tion. They are scattered from one to fifteen miles on 
each side of it, through its entire length. 
The soil is a dark, rich mould, from one to five feet in 
depth, is gently rolling, and peculiarly fitted for grazing 
cattle and sheep, and the cultivation of wheat, Indian 
corn. kc. 
The first crop of Indian corn planted on the newly 
broken prairie, usually pays the cost of plowing and 
sometimes fencing. Wheat sows. *n new turned sod is 
sure to yield very large profits. One man with a plow 
and two yoke of oxen will break one and a half to two 
acres per day. Contracts can be made for breaking, 
ready for corn or wheat, at $2 to $2.50 per acre. By 
judicious management farms may be broken and fenced 
the first, and under a high state of cultivation the sec¬ 
ond year. 
The larger yield on the cheap lands of Hlinois, over 
high-priced lands in the Eastern and Middle States, is 
known to be much more than sufficient to pay the differ¬ 
ence of transportation to the Eastern market. The rapid 
increase and growth of flourishing towns and villages 
aloi g the line of this road afford a growing home de¬ 
mand for farm produce. 
Coal and wood are delivered along the road at differ¬ 
ent points, at from $1,59 to $4 the cord or tun. 
Parties having in view Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, or 
Minnesota for their future homes, should take into con¬ 
sideration that the country west of the Mississippi is 
destitute of railroads ; that the conveniences of trans¬ 
porting grain and produce from farms on the line of the 
Illinois Central Railroad direct to the great Eastern mar¬ 
ket, is sufficient of itse f to pay the investment at from 
$10 to $lo per acre higher than in government lands in 
Iowa. In other words, that it costs so much more to 
get produce from the interior of the country west of the 
Mississippi to the Eastern market, and the farmer will 
find it much more profitable to locate ou the iine of this 
railroad. 
prick and terms of payment. 
The price will vary from $5 to $25, according to lo¬ 
cation, quality, &c. Contracts for deeds may be made 
dur.ug the year 18 6. stipulating the purchase money to 
be paid in five annual instalments—the first to become 
due in two years from aatt of contract the others annu¬ 
ally thereafter. The last payment will become due at 
the end of the sixth year from date of contract. 
By the 22d section of the Act of the Legislature, ap¬ 
proved 10th February, 1851, these lands are free from 
taxation uutil they are paid fqp, aud a deed of convey¬ 
ance granted to the purchaser. 
INTEREST WILL B- CHARGED AT ONC.T TWO PER CENT. PKK 
ANNUM. 
As a security for tho performance of the contract, the 
first two years’ interest must be paid in advance, but it 
must be understood that one-tenth of the land purchased 
shall yearly be brought under cultivation. Longer 
credits at six per cent, per annum may be negoliaied 
by special application. Twenty per cent, from the ered- 
t price will be deducted for cash, in which case the 
Company’s Construction Bouds will be received as cash. 
It is believed that the price, long credit, and low rates 
of interest charged for these lauds, will enabie a man 
with a few hundred dollars In each, and ordinary indus¬ 
try, to make himself independent before all the purchase 
money becomes due. In tho mean time the rapid set¬ 
tlement of the country will probably have Increased 
ihe r value four or five fold. When required an experi¬ 
enced person will accompany applicants, to give infor¬
