AOEICULTUBE. 'In.reading the Mosaic account of the origiunl state of. man, it scctns. impossible to arrive at any oilier conclusion than that the Creator, in fitting up, and arranging his primitive place of al^le, most have designed liis happiness, j This i» evident from the fact that, in it He placed before, and accessible to him, aach sources of enjoyment as werq adapted to tho faculties with which He, in his goodness, had endowed him, 'to wit, objects that were 'pleasant to the sight,' and good for food, Ac., and required * anch employment as suited his constitution, nsrnely, the dressing end keeping of it. i In eoneequenee of transgression lie " was banished Irt-m the Garden of delight, and made to Bn lergo'the more Inborions (zercisea«f tilling the Earth. j aud subduing the thorns and thistlrs that spring up aud render his toils-more J arduous. But man's nature is unchanged, and | experience proves how pleasing and refreshing to him are the greqn-growing j and fruitful bearing productions of the I Barth ; and how ranch they, in connection with the labor of cnltiratiag them, ' conduced to hit heslth and moral improvement. He derives tire highest enjoyment from tbe occupation assigned him, because it yields what no other vocatio:; *' does, sncli things ss satisfy his physical j wants, whiio he learns therefrom lessons j of the Wsdotn, Powe-, and Goodncs of j tbe Author of his being. Agriculture, then, is the prop'er busi- j nets of mtn, being congenial to his ontun*, and affording him the foundation of . oil hla prosperity. W.ith whatever superciliousness the ; learned and opalebt may look down up on tho peasant, the former are, after all ■ indebted to the latter for a subsistence. The farmer's business lias been too long degraded. Men aro too prone to We captivutet^bj tho showy rather than the uselul. Simplicity is the rule of! happiness, as well as prosperity. Had ' - the culture of the Earth, even for the i lest few centuries, received thai care of j the human family which its utility demands ; bad those from whom it received tbe greatest share of attention been mere favorably looked upon, fertility might now be seen where barrenness \ prevails. Tbe independence and value Of this matt important uf all callings have, however, more recently bectr impressed upon the minds of the people of all classes, and a mighty change has some over the community. Tbe Agriculturist now asserts and receives tbe claims to which he is entitled and occupies tbe position in society which be justly merits. THE BBAVSTAUL JONES.' ''t nav*: kotbecck to rioHT tct/' j Tbe above langnage of the gallmt i and brave Paul Jones, when the Britsb j commander asked if be had struck his flag sod suraendered, are memorable ' words. Although his deck was slippery ; ' ^ aod streaming with the blood of bisgai- 1 lant crew, his gnns were nearly every 1 * one dismounted, his color shot sway, ' and his vessel gradually sinking, Paul : 1 Jones with, an iuuportr.1 heroism, con- 1 tinued to fight. "Do you surrender ?" ' shouted the English captiin, deiiring | 1 to preteet further bloodshed, and seeing 1 1 i the eolors of tbe Bon Homme Richard j ' gone, supposed the American hero wish- j ed to surrender. His nnswer was, "I I have not begun to fight yet" The i 1 scene is thos described : There was a ' lull in tan conflict for an instant, and : tbe boldest held his breath as Paul Jones 1 covered with blood and black with p6w- ' ' der steins, junjped on a broken carriage, < "waving hi* sword, exclaimed in the nev- ] I er to be forgotten words, "I have" not • begun to fight yet!" And the result was, ' .* tbe battle changed, and in a few min- 1 ♦ Stes the British ship strOck her colors - and sol rendered ■ Paul Jones leaping 1 irom Wa own ship, stood upon the deck ; < vf tire British vessel a eenquerer end I I

Ite- " f ferae mnv overwhelm for n time, despair d j may ask hope to sfrike her flag ; tni, ' ' planting the foot more firmly, bending '■ the back more .readily »to tlie burdens " i imposed, straining the muscle to tbe ut- » j most tension, and bracing the drooping j heart, let him who is drivpn fo'the wall exclaim. "I hare not begun tk> fight \ j yet." They arc word* of energy, hope,^ ' and action. They deserve, ttiey will command success. In the darkest hour * i let them ring out nnd forget the past, ® j the years waited fiid gone by, and giicn them as au inaugural address of a new e | era. When the misfortunes of lifagath- " ! er too closely arpund let your battle-cry * ] go forth from the thicscsCof the conflict. ■( "I hare not begun to fight," nnd yon s | will find your foes fleeing before the new B | strength imparted, and yielding the vanI tage at you press forward in the battle ! strife. , . i CsXcbItck. vTT Apr. 5th.

As a body, our regiment has j not been engaged iu any of tbe nomar- j j conflict* of newspaper notoriety, bnt j Ires done hard and continuous service in •
