Daniel Boone, and tho Hunters of Kentucky. By W. FT. 
Bogart. Auburn and Buffalo Miller, Orton & MUL¬ 
LIGAN. 1854. 
No more thrilling story of adventure is to be 
found, than that here first given, in an accessi¬ 
ble form, to the reading public. Boonk was not 
only a bold hunter and warrior, but he was a 
resolute, adventurous, and self-reliant hero—a 
forest knight worthy of honor in the annals of 
his country. The volume before us is well got 
up, and illustrated by several engravings. Sold 
at Dewey’s.

The cholera has nearly disappeared from the 
Baltic fleet. The French expeditionary force 
had arrived at Helfinhors, and Gen. de Hilliers 
and staff directly proceeded overland to Copen¬

A Vienna dispatch states that a battle was 
fought on tho 19th at Giurgeno, in which the 
Russians were defeated, and two of their prom¬ 
inent Generals killed. In the battle the Rus¬ 
sians had 2,000 killed and 4,000 wounded. The 
1 urks, it is stated in a Russian account, had 
5,000 killed and wounded. On the following 
day the Russians undertook a forced reconnoi- 
sauce, but were repulsed with loss. The retreat 
was so hurried that a portion of their number 
were without food for several days. - 
Several new bridges have been tin-own across 
the Pruth, near Squina, and during six entire 
days the Russians marched across into Molda¬ 
via. Bands of Cossacks were traversing the 
Dohrudscha, killing the inhabitants and burning 
their villages, for displaying sympathy for tl ° , 
Turks. 
During the debate in the British Parlia¬ 
ment on the war credit, incidentally raised by 
demands on both houses f<y explanations, the 
important declaration was extracted from Min¬ 
isters, that in the settlement of the question at 
issue, whenever it might arrive, there was no in¬ 
tention upon their part of retaining the “Statu 
quo,” and Lord John Russel even went so far 
a» to intimate that Russia would not be allowed 
to maintain the menacing attitude that she had 
hitherto done by keeping so large a fleet at Se¬ 
vastopol. 
The Portuguese government has prohibited 
the export and authorized the import of Indian

There were several British vessels of war ly¬ 
ing at San Juan. 
Destructive fires had occurred in San Francis¬ 
co. ^Sacramento, and Columbia. Loss about 
$1,500,000. The fire in San Francisco occurred 
in the lower part of the city, and laid three 
squares in ashes. The steamers Y’ankee Blade, 
Brother Jonathan, and Sierra Nevada, narrowly 
escaped destruction. 
Thefirein Sacramento consumed ninesquares, 
bounded by J, Iv, and 3d and 4th sts. The 
Court House, recently occupied by the Legisla¬ 
ture was destroyed. 
Destructive fires bad also occurred at San 
Jose, Benicia, Marysville, Grass Valley, Diamond 
Springs, and Minnesota. The latter town, with 
the exception of three houses, was entirely des¬ 
troyed. Nearly all these fires wore the work of 
incendiaries. 
The Democratic party in California is com¬ 
pletely split up, and it is stated positively that 
there will be two conventions, two party organ¬ 
izations, and two tickets. The position of” the 
party is similar to that in New Turk. The 
Democrats were to meet at Sacramento on the 
8t,h ult,, and the Whigs on the 25th. The latter 
are confident of carrying the State. 
Trade was depressed. Flour selling at retail 
at Provisions were declining.—

immense discovery of gold at Port Oxford.— 
Many miners were getting $50 per day. 
'lire Star of the West reports great excite¬ 
ment at Kingston, Jamaica, in consequence of 
the bombardment of Greytown. The feeling 
against the Americans was immense. The 
Journal insinuates that Com. Hollins was gro&s- 
ly intoxicated all the while. It also states that 
among the first houses destroyed by the Cy- 
ane’s guns was that of the British Consul. All 
the papers denominate it the most cowardly 
transaction on record. The Journal calls on the 
British Government to send a fleet to bombard 
New York or Boston in retaliation, and says 
that Greytown was under the British Protecto¬ 
rate, and therefore the British Government must 
vindicate itself, no matter what might ensue. 
Meetings had been held to raise funds for the 
people of San Juan. A British Yrigate had ta¬ 
ken possession of Punta Arenas, and other Brit¬ 
ish vessels had arrived to maintain the block¬ 
ade. The Plnglish flag had been hoisted at 
Greytown. 
A rumor was current at Kingston when the 
Star left, that a British and French vessel of 
war had been sent in pursuit of the Cyane, 
which had sailed from Pensacola. 
In relation to the above, CapL Tinklepaugh, 
ot tlm Star of the West, conies out in a card in 
the New York evening papers, denying that 
Puenta Arenas is held by the British, and adds 
that all was quiet at Greytown when he left, and 
that, everything was in a satisfactory condition. 
The cholera was rapidly subsiding in Jamai¬ 
ca. It bad disappeared from Falmouth, Stuart 
Town, and Rio Bueno. From Barbadoca we 
foarn tho cholera was also abating, though its 
ravages had been fearful—the total deaths being 
between 12,000 and 15,000.

MONROE COUNTY KANSAS EMIGRATION 
SOCIETY. 
Rochester, New York, July, 1854. 
The Monroe County Kansas Emigration Society has been 
formed for the purpose of aiding in the settlement of the 
newly organized Territory of Kansas, by industrious, in¬ 
telligent, and liberty-loving inhabitants. It will act as an 
auxiliary to the Emigrant Aid Company, which has re¬ 
cently been organized under a charter granted by the Leg¬ 
islature of Connecticut, by the appointment of ELI 
111 AYER, ot Worcester, Mass., as President, and a Board 
ot Directors, including Amos A. Lawrence, of Boston, Mo¬ 
ses H. Grinnell, of New York, and other gentlemen, whose 
nigh reputation for integrity, business capacity and pecu¬ 
niary responsibility, furnish a guaranty to the friends of 
the enterprise, for an honest, energetic, prudent and suc¬ 
cessful discharge ot their trust. Under their auspices, a 
pioneer party of emigrants took their departure from New 
England on the 17th of July, and are now in the territo¬ 
ry, engaged in making explorations, selecting sites, and 
making arrangements in the erection of temporary dwel¬ 
lings, mills, Ac., for the accommodation of their successors 
when they shall arrive. The directors are confident, from 
the applications they have received and the information 
which has readied them, that they will be able to tran¬ 
sport as many as 20,000 emigrants to Kansas before the 
close of navigation this season. A line of clipper ships is 
now being built at Boston by Donald McKay, the celebrat¬ 
ed ship builder ot that port, designed to run to Germany 
under the auspices of the Company, for the purpose of 
bringing out emigrants, to whom its agents in the German 
ports will sell tickets, providing for their transportation, 
not only over the ocean, but over the land to their ulti¬ 
mate home iu Kansas. 
The purpose of the Emigrant Aid Company is, by mak¬ 
ing contracts on a large scale, to secure transportation for 
emigrants at greatly reduced rates of tare—to protect 
them from frauds and delays, by providing trusty agents 
at the leading points upon their journey, who may furnish 
them with information and pilot them on their way, and 
to provide as tar as possible for their temporary shelter 
upon their arrival in the territory, and to furnish saw- 
rniils, grist-mills, blacksmiths* forges, and such mechanical 
establishments as are most needed In a new settlement, 
and from Ihe wants of which great inconvenience is usu¬ 
ally suffered by the first occupants of acoudtrp. In short, 
: it is the object ot that Company to apply their capital iu 
j such a manner as to establish full grown communities in 
j the Territory, supplied, as far as possible, witli the appli- 
j ances of an advanced stage of cultivation ; and their capi- 
i tal can only be obtained by securing for it a fair rate of 
I profit It is impossible, therefore, lor that company to 
_ . J extend any assistance to individual emigrants, partaking of 
ior mess, ^10,37@50 for : th© character ot charity bounty. The emigrants are to 
,.„a tv." transport themselves, and to support themselves; but they 
will have the aid of a large capital in reducing ther expen¬ 
ses to the lowest practicable figure, and in rendering their 
labor profitable. 
Ihe object of the Monroe County Kansas Emigration 
Society, and of similar auxiliary societies, is to serve as an 
organ of communication between the individual emigrant 
and the Emigrant Aid Company. Its Secretary will be 
supplied with transportation tickets, to be sold at the same 
reduced rates obtained by their purchase at wholesale in 
large quantities. He will be advised of the time when 
each successive party will set out for Kansas, so that those 
desirous of joining may avail themselves of the mutual aid 
and protection resulting from their traveling together in 
non n ■ - I considerable numbers. He will be furnished with the

t ety give their services without any other remuneration 
[ than the hope of aiding in preserving Kansas as the kerit- 
: age ol free labor, and in guarding it from the blight of 
Slavery ; and all its funds will be sacredly devoted to pro- 
1 mote these objects. How much encouragement it mav be 
| able to extend to emigration, and whether it shall be able 
I by temporary loans, to expedite those who are desirous of 
going, but are delayed by a present difficulty in converting 
their property, depends upon the number who may unite 
with it, and the amount ol their contributions. . 
We respectfully solicit your aid in extending these to 
the uttermost, by canvassing among your personal friends 
and the trionds of this must practical movement forex- 
tending the area of freedom. 
We respectfully suggest for your consideration whether 
it may not be advisable to establish a Branch Society in 
your town, with the object of extending a knowledge of 
the Society’s plans, of collecting the names of persons 
who wish to emigrate, and sustaining the interest which 
is generally roused at this time, if this is not thought 
advantageous, we invite subscribers in your town to de¬ 
signate one or more persons from their numbers to repre¬ 
sent them, and prepose that thesubscriptions to the funds 
of the society in your town should be appropriated for 
emigration according to the wishes of your own members 
as indicated by the committee, under "their instructions 
or applied by the Directors to the general purposes of the 
society. The officers of the society will be happy to re 
ceive any communication from you or from such commit¬ 
tee, and to turnish them with any information in our 
possession. The importance of the exigency presented in 
the settlement of Kansas, is such as to make the utmost 
promptitude of action among the friends of free institu¬ 
tions particularly essential. It is with this view that our 
•Society completed its organization by the immediate elec- 
. --- tion of a board of officers, to hold for a shortterm (till

THOMAS’ NEW FARM BOOK. 
Farm Implements, and the principles of their construc¬ 
tion and use, with 200 illustrations. By J. J. Thomas. 
The following are only a few out of the many commen¬ 
datory notices which this work has already received from 
the press: 
It is a most valuable work; is admirably adapted to the 
wants of the farmer; and there is no more desirable book 
for our Common Schools .—Journal of N. ¥. Slate An. 
Society. 
We wish to see this work placed in the hands of every 
farmer and farmei’s son, as an indispensable book; and 
school commissioners should see that it has a place on the 
shelves of every rural district school library. It is admir¬ 
ably adapted for popular use as a text book. The illustra¬ 
tions are ample and excellent; and every statement is 
made in such a straightforward manner that even a child 
could not mistake the meaning. Mr. Thomas lias done the 
agricultural community a great Hervice in the preparation 
of this book.— Horticulturist. 
This is an invaluable work for the practical agriculturist, 
affording as it does the theory of mechanical forces as ap¬ 
plied in machinery used in farm labor; it will enable far¬ 
mers to construct many indispensable articles, and to un- 
• erstand the principles and construction of all agricultu¬ 
ral machines .”—Boston Herald. 
We have never seen so much philosophy brought to 
bear in a practical manner on the ordinary concerns of 
life .—Presbyterian Banner. 
J ust the book for farm- rs who wish to perform their 
labor intelligently and efficiently.— Zion's Herald. 
This is an interesting and invaluable work for the farmer, 
and should be in the hands of every farmer in the country.

DRILLING IN WHEAT. 
Moore’s Seed Planter, ot Grain DrilL 
Patented July 2, 1850.—This valuable implement of 
husbandry, which has been thoroughly tested in many 
places, is used for planting Wheat, Rye, Corn, Oats, 
Barley, Beans, &c. It operates equally well on all kinds 
of land, and is not injured by coming in contact with 
rocks, roots, &c.; and it is believed, is superior to any other 
implement of the kind in use, as may be seen by the testi¬ 
monials of many of the best farmers in the State. There 
are seveial advantages in drilling over broad-cast sowing, 
among which are these :—It is most expeditious; it saves 
labor, which is money; it completes the process of seeding 
wherever it moves; and experience has proved that more 
grain is obtained, of a heavier berry, and with less seed, 
owing to its oeing covered at any required depth, where 
every kernel has moisture and a chance to germinate. 
Drilling Wheat. —Edward Stabler, in his admirable es¬ 
say on the advantage of drill seeding, states that after ex¬ 
amining its results on some 800 or 1,000 acres, besides large 
experience on his own land, he finds there is not a single 
instance where it has not proved the most profitable?— 
First, in the saving of seed, and secondly in the increased 
product of the grain, amounting to from one to seven 
bushels to the acre. He had known the increase, in one 
case, by careful comparison of the two modes, to amount 
to nine bushels per acre in favor of drilling. He relates an 
interesting incident:—A vender offered a drill for the in¬ 
crease in a crop of 50 acres of wheat, to be determined by 
sowing a few strips bro id-cast for comparison ; but before 
the harvest, the farmer preferred paying the hundred dol¬ 
lars for the price of a drill, with interest. On carefully 
ascertaining the increase, he found it to be one hundred 
and fifty-three bushels .—Albany Cultivator. 
Extract from the N. Y. Tribune, Feb. 3,1853, article on In¬ 
dustrial Exhibitions at the World’s Fair, London : 
“Those who understand the subject, know that at least 
one-third of the seed may be saved, and a tenth added to 
the crop by drilling, as contrasted with the old, slovenly 
process of sowing by hand. The annual saving by the 
general adoption of drilling in this country, would be equal 
in value to all the gold we receive from California.” 
The highest premiums have been awarded to this Drill at 
the Agricultural Fairs in Delaware, at Philadelphia, Balti¬ 
more, Detroit, in Maryland, and at various County Fairs in 
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and other States.

Extract of a letter from Mr. McCrone, near Newcastle, 
Delaware:—“ Your Drill stands unrivalled, as is admitted 
by all Fanners in the neighborhood, that have seen it in 
operation.” 
“ This is to certify, that we, the undersigned, have used 
Lewis Moore’s Improved Grain Drill, and we believe that 
for simplicity, durability, cheapness, ease, speed and regu¬ 
larity of sowing, it surpasses anything of the kind hereto¬ 
fore in use among us, and we do recommend it to farmers 
as being a machine the best adapted to their wants.”—
