MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER; AN AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Arrival of the Pacific. 
The steamer Pacific arrived at New York 
Nov. 15, with London and Liverpool dates to 
Nov. 3d. The Pacific made her outward pas¬ 
sage in ten days and three hours. 
There is nothing important from the seat 
of war, except the return of the Allies from 
their advance to their former positions, in ex¬ 
pectation of an attack from the Russians.— 
Nevertheless, it is unlikely that any further 
operations will take place this season. Both 
armies are preparing to go into winter quar¬ 
ters. Some trifling successes have been claim¬ 
ed by the fleets, which have now sailed to¬ 
wards the Gulf of Perekop. Copious details 
are come to hand of the capture of Kinburn. 
Lord Stanley, Earl Derby’s son, is offered 
the Colonial Secretaryship. Gen. Codring- 
ton is appointed commander in the Crimea, in 
place of Simpson. The difficulties between 
France and Naples is settled. 
An extraordinary excitement, amounting to 
almost a panic, has prevailed in England on 
the subject of a war with the United States. 
The London Times, in a series of skillfully 
malicious editorials, started the subject, 
which, exaggerated by the provincial press, 
speedily attained such dimensions that extras 
were issued announcing that the American 
Minister had demanded his passports. Gene¬ 
ral astonishment and regret was excited by 
the announcement, and energetic protests 
were heard against the government for forcing 
the nation into so dangerous a war. 
The American Minister was telegraphed to 
from Liverpool, who promptly and courteous¬ 
ly sent the following explicit contradiction of 
the rumor. “ It is not true that the Ameri¬ 
can Minister has demanded his passports from 
the government. There is no foundation for 
such a report.” Notwithstanding this an un¬ 
easy feeling remains in the public mind. 
Liverpool Breadstuffs. —Brown, Shipley & 
Co. report without improvement, but in more 
demand. Wheat must he quoted at 2d per 
bushel lower. Indian corn in good demand ; 
fid advance. White wheat 12sal2s 3d ; red 
11s 9dal2s. Western canal flour 41sa42s; 
Phil, and Balt. 43s ; Ohio 44s fid ; white corn 
453a45s fid ; yellow 43s 6da44s; mixed 43s fid. 
Provisions. —Richardson, Spense & Co. re¬ 
port beef in slightly improved demand, but 
sales scarcely to average extent. Pork in fair 
inquiry—prices dearer. Bacon rather lower. 
Lard unchanged, fair inquiry, 66a67s. Tallow 
2s dearer, 66aG7s. 
The Vinb^and tueWine of Georgia. —The 
Augusta Constitutionalist publishes a letter 
from the Hon. Mark A. Cooper, giving an ac¬ 
count of a recent visit to the vineyards of Dr. 
Anderson and others, of Wilkes. “ These 
vineyards,” he says, “ were planted from the 
slip, in the spring of 1853, and now produce 
grapes of the most admirable quality. Each 
vine has on an average 45 clusters of the very 
largest size, the flavor of which surpasses any¬ 
thing I have known. The vineyard was an 
experiment of one-fourth of an acre, with a 
setting of 150 vines per quarter, or 1,000 to 
the acre. Owing to dry weather only 130 
lived and are in bearing. 
I am not premature in the conjecture that 
in ten years more the wines of Georgia will 
meet those of France and our Atlantic ports, 
and soon thereafter they will make good the 
completion by going to European markets ; 
so that what has just been achieved by her 
flour mills and farmers, will also be effected 
by her vineyards and wine presses.” 
Anti-Rent in Texas. —In certain parts of 
Texas a large proportion of the lands was ori¬ 
ginally granted in eleven league tracts. For 
some reason the grantees allowed their titles 
to slumber for a long time. Meanwhile sub¬ 
sequent comers settled the land and located it 
in different sections. The original grantees 
now come in and lay claim to the tracts, some 
of which are of immense value. The actual 
settlers, like the New York anti-renters, de¬ 
clare war upon eleven-leaguers, and are con¬ 
certing measures to resist the claims and have 
their own titles settled by special act of the 
Legislature. 
Prices of Wheat Sprodtisg in the West.— 
We met, on Wednesday, a very industrious, 
worthy, and usually entirely sober man, who 
by some strange chance was at that time con¬ 
siderably the worse for liquor. He addressed 
us, and explained his situation. “ Last har¬ 
vest,” said he, “I thought my wheat—hie— 
was spoiled, d’ye see, because ’twas sp-sprout- 
ed, but come to sell it, I find that the p-price 
has sprouted too—a-3ight more than the 
wheat—see here”—and he held out some 
$1,200 which he had just received for his 
crop.— Detroit Advertiser , Nov. 10. 
A Contribution to Palky’s Evidences.— 
During the late cruise of Commodore Rogers 
in the Arctic seas, he visited a singular tribe 
of Indians known as the Techuechis. Lieut. 
Brooke endeavored, by many devices, to 
awaken in the mind of the old chief some 
ideas regarding the existence of a Supreme 
Being, and one day, when they had been sit¬ 
ting a long time in argument upon this sub¬ 
ject, the savage exclaimed, in a tone of voice 
which sufficiently indicated the birth of a 
new, though scarcely defined thought, “ Good, 
man cannot make whales.” 
A Paying Outlay.— Philanthropy is sup¬ 
posed to pay well at times. Henry Grinneli, 
who fitted out the several Arctic expeditions 
from this country in quest of Sir John Frank¬ 
lin, expended in those enterprises about ten 
thousand dollars, the government assuming 
the rest of the expense. The house of which 
he is a member, Grinneli, Minturn & Co., will 
clear the present season three-quarters of a 
million of dollars upon orders from the Brit¬ 
ish government for grain, orders sent to that 
house by reason of Mr. Grinneli’s connection 
with it. 
Catalepsy. —The wife of James O. Kendrick, 
of Tazlewell county, Va., after a protracted 
illness, was supposed to have died, and prepa¬ 
rations were made for her interment. About 
ten hours after her apparent decease, some 
friends who were employed in making a 
shroud, were amazed to hear her ask, in a 
faint voice, for food. She had had a catalep¬ 
tic fit, which fortunately passed off in season 
to prevent the horrors of a premature burial. 
Spiritualism.— The Philadelphia Argus says 
the last, and one of the boldest follies we 
have heard, occurred last week in the upper 
part of the city. The spirit of a murdered 
man has been for months in tribulation, but 
finally, a few days since, succeeded in commu¬ 
nicating the fact that, having been murdered 
some ten years since, his body was placed in 
a dry well in a sitting posture, and the well 
having since been filled, the position was 
found inconvenient, especially as the place 
had been built upon, and the spirit wants the 
body taken up and decently interred. The 
precise location was indicated—• directly be¬ 
neath the steps of a certain house in Hutchin¬ 
son street, between Poplar and Girard avenue ; 
and since then the most laborious excavations 
have been going on to find the body, while the 
story has afforded abundant food for gossip. 
Health Among the Quakers.—I t is stated 
by the Friends’ Intelligencer, that from sta¬ 
tistics recently published in England, whilst 
the average duration of human life is estima¬ 
ted at thirty-three years, that among the 
Friends there is an average of fifty-one years. 
Eighteen years thus added to the average of 
human life, is a fact too remarkable not to 
challenge medical attention, and lead us to a 
close investigation of the laws of life. 
Sale of Howe’s Menagerie.—T he Zoological 
collection of Seth B. Howe’s, was sold at auc¬ 
tion, at the Hippodrome, New York, on Mon¬ 
day week. Four elephants were sold for from 
$1,000 to $1,400 each ; a rhinoceros for $575; 
a polar bear for $450 ; a royal Bengal tiger 
brought $225 ; three performing lions $375 ; 
a camel was sold for $10. Barnum was the 
principal purchaser, and the prices were very 
low, averaging about one-eighth the original 
cost. 
Earthquake.—T he shock of an earthquake 
was very distinctly felt last Saturday in the 
vicinity of Villanow, Walker county, Georgia. 
The oscillating motion of the earth, North 
and South, was very perceptible to persons 
sitting, but those who were standing at the 
time did not observe the motion of the earth 
so distinctly, but generally heard the low 
rumbling noise, apparently to the South or 
South West .—North ( Ga.) Times, Nov. 8. 
&c. 
Rural Nkw-Yorksb Office, 
Nov. 21, 1855. 
These is no charge in the price of Wheat and Flour 
since our last report. Oats are a little stiffer, and are 
quoted at last week’s upper figure. Barley has ad¬ 
vanced a shilling, and now brings readily $1 25. 
Keats and dairy products remain at former figures._ 
Hay is a little easier in supply, but not sufficiently so to 
change the upper limit of quotations. 
A large amount of produce is moving eastward by 
Canal, and the tolls are weekly far in advance of those 
of last year. It is generally believed that agents both 
of France and England are purchasing grain and provi¬ 
sions in this country, and shipping abroad. These 
movements will tend to keep up prices, and the prospect 
is that farm produce will continue to command high 
figures.

NEW HORSE-POWER FOR FARMERS AND MECHANICS ! 
THE VERMONT WIND-MILL. 
Blow winds and crack your cheeks ; rage, blow.— Lear. 
Wind is at once powerful, unexpensive, and blows 
everywhere. Just the thing for Farmers and Mechan¬ 
ics ; just the thing for a thousand uses ; to grind grain, 
paints, apples ; to turn lathes, grindstones, scour, polish’ 
cut, saw, in the high lofts of buildings, over city and 
country, on mountains, in villages, anl on prairies. To 
work on marble, cut slate, straw, thresh grain, and 
pump water for Railroad stations, for stock, for house¬ 
hold use, fountains, ponds, etc.,—to drain land, and to 
do the work of millions of muscles everywhere. The 
VERMONT WIND-MILL will do all this and more. It 
will adjust its own sails to the wind, i3 simple, strong, 
cheap, and durable, betutiful in theory, certain in ac¬ 
tion. Manufactured by the inventor’s Manufacturing

THE HOME MAGAZINE, 
Edited by T. S. ARTHUR. 
Thb Soventh Volume of the HOME MAGAZINE, an ele¬ 
gant illustrated monthly periodical, will begin in Janua¬ 
ry, 1S56. Six volumes of the work aro already before 
the public, and if tho united voice of the press, from ono 
end of the country to the other, and the testimony of 
thousands of families in which the HOME MAGAZIN E'has 
circulated, aro significant facts, then it is a periodical 
that just meets the wants of the people. 
In a literary point of view, it is claimed for the HOME 
MAGAZINE, that it is equal to any of its contemporaries • 
and it differs from most of them, in regarding the moral 
purpose of an article as its highest ward. It does net es¬ 
chew the light, the graceful, and the elegant in litera¬ 
ture ; only tho vapid and frivolous. During the year 
1S56, the Editor will be assisted by many favorite

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL R. R. COMPANY 
Is now prepared to sell over two millions of acres ' 
of selected 
1 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 Slate, dotted here and there with 
magnificent Oak Groves. The recent opening of nearly 
600 miles of this road throws open !he 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 ia 
depth, is gently rolling, and peculiarly fitted forgraziDg 
cattle and sheep, and the estivation 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 sown on 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 he made for breaking 
ready for corn or wheat, at $2 to $2,50 per acre. By 
judicious management farms may he broken and fenced 
the first, and under a high state of cultivation the sec¬ 
ond year. 
The larger yield on the cheap lands of Illinois over 
h gh-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 
along 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 itseif to pay the investment at from 
$10 to $15 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 on the line of this 
railroad. 
prick and terms of payment. 
The price will vary from $5 to $25, according to lo¬ 
cation, quality, kc. ^ Contracts for deeds maybe made 
during the year lSe5, stipulating the purchase money to 
he paid in five annual instalments—the first to become 
due in two years from date 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 until they are paid for, and a deed of convey¬ 
ance granted to the purchaser. 
interest will be charged at only two per cent, per 
ANNUM. 
As a security for the performance of tho contract, the 
first two years’ interest must he paid in advance, but it 
must be understood that one-tenth of the land purchased 
shall yearly be brought under cuitivation. Longer 
credits at six per cent, per annum may be negotiated 
by special application. Twenty per cent, from the cred¬ 
it price will be deducted for cash, in which case the 
Company’s Construction Bonds will be received as cash. 
It is believed that the price, long credit, and low rates 
of interest charged for these lands, will enable a nvm 
with a few hundred dollars in each, and ordinary indus¬ 
try, to make himself independent before all the purchase 
money becomes due. In the mean time the rapid set¬ 
tlement cf the country will probably have increased 
thoir value lour or live fold. When required an experi- 
enced person will accompany applicants, to give infor-
