GREAT When Mr.. Calhoun, in
his last speech in Congress, spoke Of
his superiority 10 Mr.. Clay, the audi
tors burst into general laugh. The
idea, says a Washington letter writer,
was certainly quite laughable, and Mr..

T. J. Woap.-We understand that
this gentleman is winning golden opin.
IONS whereyerhegoes. The voice oftbc
people every where proclaim him as
enc Of the representatives Of Missis
slppi; and that such will be the decision
at the comingelection. scarcely admits
Of doubt. II is said however that
certain loco-focos arc betting largely
on the election of Prentiss and CIal-
borne. This is good omen. All
parties admit that Prentiss must be
elected. And as are expiring effort,
the loco.focos still cling to Mr.. Clan
borne as the last hope Of the party.
How will the Northern Counties re.
lsh this proccedingl The prospects
ot Gen. Davis are entirely hopeless.
Their only alternative then, if they
would have their portion Of the state
represented, will be to unite upon
Word; and we have strong reasons to
believe that such will be he result.
OF Read the following Resolutions
of MR.tPHENrIss, intro luced into the
Legislature OF Mississippi, February
LIST, 1886.
Resolred, That the people Of the
State of Mississippi look upon the in
stltutlon of domestic slavery, as it ex-
lists among them, not as a curse, but
rs blessing, as the legitimate condI-
ton Of the African race, authorized
both by the laws Of God and the die ,
tateS OF reason and philanthropy; and
that they hope to transmit this inStitu-
ton to their posterity, as the best part
OF their inheritance.
ReSoired, That we held our institu-
ton of domestic slavery like all our ,
other domestic institutions, as sacred i,
from the touch of foreign Interference;
we hold discussion upon this subject
ms equally impairment with discussion
upon our relations, wives and children,
and we will allow no present change,
or hope of future alienation in this
hesolced, That by the comfy Of
ma ions, and still more by the compact
OF Union, it is the duty Of every
state to prevent, by the strongest le-
glslative enactments, all reasonable
and sedltious Vaccinations, within its
limits, against the institution and safe
~ OF sister states, and from this duty
arises to such states a co-reativc right
TO demand the enactment of laws to
prevent such Vaccinations, when en-
dangered thereby.
Resolred, That the state of Mis-
sisslppl respectfully, but firmly and
decidedly, claims Of her sister states
rs matter of right, arising out
of the lawto nations, the com
pact Of Union, and the dictates of
justice and humanity, that they in
'cIpoSe, by LEGISLATIVE enactment, TO
stop the abolitionists in their mad ca
reer of sedition and crime. |
ReSolrcd, That should our sister
states, contrary to our antlcipatIons,
refuse to listen to our just demand,
we must resort to such means of pro- T
tectmg ourselves, as the vital impor-
lance of the subject may warrant,
and should this contingency occur,
and the evil still continue, we re-
commend that the emergency be met
by convention of slave-hoding
states, whose object shall be to devise
such means as may be necessary to
preserve our domestic policy inyiolate
on this subject.

We have heard great deal Of the highmind-
edness of the British nation. We can hardly
take up an English or Province paper, but we
find fulsome panegyrics on the justice and lofty
sense Of honor which characterize her above all
nations Of the earth. 1t may be so. But here is
a treaty, a bargain, written plain as language
can make it, to which her solemn assent is affixed.
And now, forsooth, because she finds it would
be very convenient for her to possess part Of
her neighhor's property--in the very face Of
her treaty, in defiance of all truth and Justice
with low spirit Of chcanery, she attempts to
break the plghted word. This may be British
honor and justice. We do not recognize them as
such. 1t is amusing to read the bullying tone
that some of the Province papers assume. Find
ing that they could not buy out the territory-the
very offer to do which was a virtual acknowledges
ment that it belonged to us-we now hear great
deal OF British bayonets, &c. as though such
childish talk could intimidate. We have had snch
threats before, and tested their power, therefore
they pass by as the idle wind Such language
may do for those who believe in the omnipotence
of the British arms-we do not.-Portland

THE BANKS OF THE DISTRICT.

1t is earnestly hoped that Congress will soon
pass the Bill rechartering the Banks in this Dis
trict. The usual business season of the Spring is
upon US, and still there is no life nor motion in
those parts of our City where the hum of activi-
y is wont to be sounding in the ear, and give to-
ken of the enterprise and perseverng industry OF
our citizens. The reason is the scarcity of mo-
ney. Our Banks do not consider themselves at
liberty to do any new business whilst their appli-
cation for a renewal of their charters remains un-
acted upon by Congress. We cannot see any
good reason for delay in acting upon the Bill
providing for renewal of their charters. There
are no Banks in the country that have been con-
Quoted with more prudence, and are at this time
in a sounder condition. The interest of the Dis
trct requires that they should be rechartered as
soen as possible, and we trust that our political
guardians will take the matter into immediate
consideration, and pass the Bill. A.

On Sunday evening last after the Rev. Thos. Fisher
nad preached his farewell to an exceedingly
crowded audience the lessons of the church proceeded
20 taSe up collection for the purpose Of deiraying his

forming Their Praseworthy offices, on the ground floor
respectable oaer took into his head 10 honor those of

oeneht While he was busily and successfully engaged
IN collecting the nefdfu from the good people IN the
gallery some one observed that his face appeared little
unfamiliar. The suspicion was duly conveyed to the
sexton who accordingly arrested the collector as he
was in the full tide of successful experiment. and con-
veyed him with his hat and its contents before the officers
OF the church below. Our sol dsant collector gave sew
era good but as the sequel shows sufficient reasons
fer entering into the duties Of his Office without being du
iy commssioned-among others, that the gentlemen
collecting money for others below he could see no
reasonable objection 10 his collecting Of the same

little needh Just at present Moreover that his con-
duct was in perfect conformity with that law Of nature
which says that man is initiative being These
very reasonable explanations were finally overrued and
his body was delivered to the aor for safe keeping
and his money was taken by Of the deacons on spe
cial depose.

THE DEPTH OF PLOUGHING.

That ploughing deep is of the utmost i'm
porance to make land productive, no one will
deny. Yet how deplorable is it, to see so many
Of our farmers, instead of poughng their land,
persist in the old and ruinous practice Of merely
skinnng it. Soils of the best quality, may be
very shortly impoverished by shallow ploughing,
while, OH the other hand. those of an inferior
quality may be materially improved by judicious
ploughing. Why, it may be asked, are swamps
and bogs so inexhausbly fertile after being drain
ed? One simple reason is, because they are
possessed of soil of very considerable depth
Then why not plough deep, in order to increase
the depth of the soil of upland. Lands which
have been ploughed shallow, on receiving the
first deep ploughing, will generally fail in some
measure in producing good crop, in consequence
of turning up the clay. This has disheartened
some that have made trial of it, so as to abandon
it Immediately again. But the action of the sun
and atmosphere on the upturned clay, will con-
tribute greatly to its fertilization. This being
ploughed down, and the former surface turned
up again, with the addition of proper manures,
will give land deep soil and render it fertile and
productive. But few persons are aware of the
depth to which the fbrous roots of grass descend
into the ground. 1t has been discovered, with
very few exceptions, that they reach to the bot
tom of soils however deep; consequently, plants
growing in deep soil will be much better pro-
tectcd against the effects of drought, than those
growing in shallow soil. / would suggest,
therefore, that land in all ordinary cases. be plough
ed not less than eight inches deep. Will it not
be much better to suffer partially in one crop,
and thereby to have afterwards manifold in
crease, than to be always toiling, with very i'm
perfect returns for our labor.
For the sake of neatness in farming, and to
prevent high ridges and furrows, would recon-
mend the first three or four furrows at the COM
of lands, and at the finishing of them,
and at the edges of fields, be somewhat shallower
than the remainder Of the field

Farmer, requesting information in regard to the
treatment OF wounds on horses, and having had
some experience of the value of the following
remedy, confidently recommend lis use. It Is
solution of saltpetre and blue stone. The salt
petre should be first dissolved in warm water, in
such proportions as to be moderately strong to the
taste, and blue stone added, until the solution is
slightly tinged. This, and nothing else, is to be
used as wash, two or three times day. II pu-
rifles the wound, destroys proud flesh, produces

equally rapid, and afterwards no scar was visible

as the stitches have uniformly torn out. The sk;n

AGRICULTURE IN RUSSIA.

Among the various subjects demanding the con-
Isideraon of the Russian Government, the agri-
cultural interest has not failed to attract due
share OF attention. Russia, fertile throughout the
greatest portion of its immense extent, and gene
rally abundant In corn, was, nevertheless, doomed
to suffer, in 1884, the consequences OF some pre-
vious bad haryests, and was even forced to i'm
port foreign corn. The harvest Of 1895, though
sufficient for the consumption of the country,
could not be considered as most abundant har-
vest; but at last, in 1896, the harvest was excel
lent, and then terminated state Of things rather
rare in Russia. Comfort was re-estabished in all
parts of the empire, and the expectation of corn
resumed its accustomed activity. 1t was only in
some of the districts of the governments of Arch
angel and Oonetz, lying III very high latitude,
that the production did not fully correspond with
the hopes of the farmer, in consequence of the
injury produced by the premature frost in autumn.
1t has not yet been found possible to collect the
necessary materials for making out a table of the
quantity sown and cut in the year 1886. Never
theless, some idea of the actual state and i'm
portance of agriculture in Russia may be formed
from the quantity sown in 1885. From the ac-
counts of the local authorities, the accuracy Of
which may be depended upon, there were sown
in the autumn 2O,549,l49 chetverts Of winter
corn (wheat and rye) or l4,076,l26 English
quarters.
The quantity of March corn, barley, oats, &c.,
sown, amounted to O,39S, ,046 chetverts (2O $780,
$40 quarters) consequently, the amount sown
during 1885 was, in the whole, 5O,947, 1875 chet-
vers. Since that period fresh land has been
brought into cultivation in various provinces of
the empire; and therefore the quantity sown in
the year 1886 must have been still greater. Owing
10 the prosperous state of agriculture the reserve
magazines established throughout the provinces
for the purpose providing against the possibility
of famine, are continually receiving fresh sup
plies; and the funds placed at the disposal of the
governments Of the provinces, for the purpose Of
purchasing foreign corn IN the event Of an unfa-
vorable season, have experienced considerable
increase. The total quantity Of corn deposited in
the magazines offfty-three governmental districts.
the population of which consisted Of l9,254,254
male persons belonging to the class Of peasants,
amounted, the first of January, 1886, to
5,75O, $50 chetverts, and the reserve funds to
l5,420,l92 roubles, independently of a conside-
rable quantity Of corn and some sums of money
which still remain to be appropriated for that
object At the same period, l29,292 chetverts
Of corn were amassed in magazines established
in the towns; and the reserve funds belonging to
the municipalities amounted to 3,928, TAG roubles
