AGRICULTURAL PApERs.--Why don't
you take an agricultural paper, isa ques-
ton put 70 farmers, and many will answer,
o, | take more papers now than l can
read.
This is poor management, for the far
mer to take papers on various other sub
| iecis TO bis own affairs. In selecting his
papers. the farmer should by no means
overlook those which are devoted to his
own profession, and advocate his own in
terest; on the contrary, these should have
a decided preference. How can farmer
or any other man get Thoroughly acquainted
with his profession, without study and in
vestig CATION, especially when there is so
much to be learned from science. and the
slow process of experiment, as in agricul
ture, that thousand years would moi suf-
fee for one man 10 learn alone what has
already been discovered and recorded.
Go into the study Of the minister. law
yer, doctor, politician, and you will find
them with a library Of Standard works oti
their professions, and with periodicals that
bring them fresh intelligence and new dis
c0veries. aud they will still he studying
and improving, but you will look in vain
for agricultural works. Should the lawyer
or doctor read on all other subjects and
ueglec, his own profession, who would
employ him? who would have any conf.
dence in his skill!
Some farmers say their fathers were
farmers, and they have always lived on a
farm, aud they know all about the blisi-
ness, aud no one can learn them any thing,
and so they go on in the old way, without
one thought as to its being right or wrong,
and never dream ofimprovement.
Now, farmers, walk up to the chalk, fur
nish yourselves with standard books on
your profession. take an agricultural pa
per, and become enlightened in your own
affairs, and you will fud your business
more pleasant and you will be elevated to
that important station which American
farmers ought to hold-a most respectable.

THE ELECTIONS.

Returns are coming in thiokls from the Western
Elections, and as has been anticipated. there they
show an important decline in the Wing strength.
which arises from the jealous obstinacy Of the
friends of the rival Wing candidates for the Presi
dency.
From TENNESSEE, the Globe Of Monday evening
gave returns from twenly-one counties, which gave
Polk, the loco foco candidate for governor a ruaio.
rity of 5433 over Cannon, Wlig-The result, how
ever, is as yet extremely doubtful. John Bell, the
able and vigilant representative from tho Nashville
district, 10 e-elected to Congress By a majority Of
liza. In Col. Folks old district, Watterston,
(loco) is elected by about 1000. In the tenth dis
trict, Cave johnson tIoco) has defeated cheatham
(Wbig) the late incumbent.
From I~EDIAEA, it seems likely that Carr (loco)
is elected to Congress over Graham, (Whig) late
incumbent, and Smith, (loco,) over Donn. the late
Wing incumbent. Rairdon (Whigj is reelected
There are as yet no definite returns from any Other
districts.
From KENTUCKY, we have information only from
the districts Of Messrs. Southgate, Graves and Me.
nifee; and from these, returns are incomplete. II
seems most likely that the two FIRST are reelected,
and the result in the latter ID quite uncertain.
From NokTH CAROLINA, we communicated last
week the welcome intelligence ofthe success Of Ed
ward Stanley, one Of the ablesf members Of the lasi
Congress. We have the additional intelligence
this week Of the success of Rayner (Whig) over
Sawyer, who was elected to the last Congress as a

sist # a tomahawk, bayonet, some pieces Of iron,
fragments Of eerthen ware, and some pieces Of

much rusted, firm and in pretty good preservation,
he bones are Of some animal, probably Of sheep or
deer. They we're all found embedded In a hole
with a considerable quantity Of ashes. The articles
referred to, arc probably connected with q time an

OF the power Of the Governor Of Illinois to remove

power Of the Governor.
During the last session Of the Illinois Legislature
Gov. Carlin, thinking to turn Mr.. A. +. Field, the
Secretary of State, out Of Office, nominated in his
place Mr.. J. a. McClernand, a loco fJco. The no.
mination was laid before the Senate, but that body
decided that the Governor had no right to create a
vacancy by turning OUT Mr.. Field. A bitter con.
troversy ensued between the Senate and his Excel.
iency and was kept up during the rest of the session.
After the adjournment, the Governor again assumed
the prerogotive Of appointing Mr.. McCleFnand to
the Secretafyship, and that individual attempted to
take possession Of tue Keys and papers, but Mr..
Field refused to give them up. The case was
brought before the Circuit Court, which decided
