No one can witness the operation OF the

it rather deserves to be locked upon as Il

human race. 10 bring destruction thus

with which the trade Of human butchery is
strangely invested, if battalions were to he

Elections. Elections have lately taken
place in Maryland, Georgia, Pennsy lvana,
Ohio. and Delaware. From Maryland,
the returns show gain from previous cleo
lions, for the wings. Members Of the Sc
nate and House OF Delegates, were chosen.
I he house Of Delegates it is thought Will
stand 60 wings to 10 democrats: the Sc
nate, Is wings to 6 democrats. Last year,
house Of delegates, 80 wing, is democrat:
Senate, ID whig, 9 democrat. The Wing
popular majority, is about 1000 votes.
From Georgia returns have been recci-
we'd from 50 counties, leaving 50 10 be
heard from. Members of Congress and
the state Icgislaturcorc chosen. The con-
grcssionaI delegation consists ofn men,
bcrs, elected by general ticket: our returns
refer only TO the vote on this ticket The
last delegation were elected whig: in the
returns thus far, the wing ticket leads by
majority Of 5000; the counties 10 be heard
from, last year gave a democratic majority
Of 1000 1t is yet uncertain which ticket
is elected. The probability is IL favor Of
the wings.
We have but few returns from Pennsyl-
vania. Ten counties, which we have in
figures, which last year gave an aggregate
wing majority Of $50 votes, have now gil
ven democratic majority Of 372. The
following, on the subject is from the De-
tro't Free Pree Press, democratic paper:
"Reported result Of the election in Penn
sylvanla, slow that the old keystone is
sound to the core. In the western part Of
the state the result is about the same as it
was in 1856. In the eastern part we have
reported gains. Philadelphia city is said
to have given a democratic gain Of some
1900, and c. J. Ingersoll is reported to be
elected in the third district"
Fro Ohio we have nothing that can be
relied on. The Chicago Tribune says:
GAS yctw are unable to give any thing
like a correc estimate how things stand in
this state. The American copies a slip
from the Detroit Advertiser, and puts down
Corwin's majority in G6 counties Mt IS
449. This we presume is a rough cazcu-
iation made out before the election took
place. We shall be able to give a pretty
correct estimate in our next"
From Delaware we have no returns.

ehave seen many accounts among our
exchange papers. Of extraordinary yields
the past season, Of this species Of potato;
and there can be no doubt, that the raising
of Rohan potatoes, will in few years SUI
perccde most other kinds. There is pro-
badly no vegetable or product Of any kind
which farmer raises, in which there is so
much difference in the yield and quality,
as in the different varieties OF the potato
Wheat or corn, though Of different varic-
ties, produces about the same amount OF
a}imcrt to given number Of pounds each:
il is not so with potatoes. BY chemical
analysis potatoes are found to contain from
twenty to thirty-ive per cent to the hun
drcd pounds, according to the quality Of
the species: thus, farmer having field
of one hundred and fifty bushels Of, potatoes
may not have any moro in real roIae, than
his neighbor who has but one hundred
bushels; because the real worth of crop
of potatoes, does not depend more upon the
bulk or number Of bushels. than upon the
almental quality OF the produce. In the
raising Of wheat and corn, farmers usually
select their seed with reference to the kind,
which will ripcn most safely, and produce
the greatest number Of bushels to the acre.
But in the raising Of potatoes, farmer
should not be governed in the selection of
his seed by the kind which will produce
the greatest yield to the acre, but by the
species which is known TO contain tic grea-
test per centage Of nutrition; since he will
find it far more convenient TO dispense with
bulk provided he makes it Up in quality.
The species Of potato called Roho', is
found by scientific agriculturists, to contain
as great an amount Of nutrition to u given
quantity, as any other species commonly
cultivated. This fact, combined with its
productive yield, renders it one Of the most
profitable kind of potato crops.

On Tuesday evening last, Mr. Joseph P.
keiscr and lady, arrived at our steamboat
landing in beautiful Bark, six tons bur
then, from ST. Charles, Kane county, ILL.,.
Mr.. X. left St. Charles on the 18th inst,
amid the smiling countenances Of a large
collection OF citizens Of that place who had
assembled to witness his departure on this
hazardous and novel enterprise. He de-
scended Fox River without much trouble,
Notwithstanding the low stage Of the water
at present, and the dam at Green's mill,
&C., might be considered by some as pre-
senting insurmountnbIc barriers.
The Experiment. we believe, is the
first craft that has ever descended this beau
tiful stream tins distance, save, perhaps,
the frail bark Of the Indian in days gone
by. The distance from ST Charles to this
place, is about eighty miles BY water, pas
sing through q section Of country which, in
point Of fertility, is not surpassed by any
tract Of country in the Union, and to the
enterprise and excrtions Of Mr.. Keiser be-
longs the honor Of first undertaking and
accomplishing the navigation Of Fox Riy
er, which winds its meandoring course
through it.
The object Of Mr.. KS enterprise is some
what Of a novelty. His design is to travel
by water to the river St. Lawrence in L.
Canada, by the following route;
From 81. Charles down Fox River to It's
mouth at Ottawa thence down Illinois to
its mouth thence down the Mississippi TO
the mouth oftle Ohio thence up the Ohio
river to Beaver, Pa. ; thence by way Of
the Ohio and Pennsylvania canal 10 Akron,
O.. thence on the Ohio canal to Cleveland;
thence on Lake Eric 10 Buffalo, n. Y.
thence on the Weiand canal to Lake On
taro, and thence to the River St. Lawrence.
This route viii doubtless prove arduous
TO our friend, but he is in fine spirits, and
considers his worst difficulties ended by
having successfully descended Fox River
at the present stage Of the water. He has
our best wishes for safe and pleasant
journey, hoping that he may be able TO in
form lis Of his safe arrival at his distant
dcstinaton.- OHd1ra Free Trader.

Fruit Ifecs.-It is not our purpose TO
call the attention Of the farming commu-
nifty, to the most approved methods OF plant
ing and raising fruit trees; but simply to
suggest the importance Of It's carly intro
ducton into the Territory. The strongest
objection that exists in the minds Of many
eastern people to cmgroting to this coun-
try, is the pr;vation Of fruit which they
must necessarily undergo This objection
need be of only temporary duration, if an
early attention be bestowed upon the plant
ing Of fruit trees. In many respects Wis
consin possesses natural advantages, Of a
decided character ovcrthe east for the cul-
tivation Of fruit. Apple trees are found TO
thrive with remarkable success, IN every
portion Of the Territory, where the expo
rimcnt of raising them has been tried
Peach trees also, do remarkably well; the
nature Of our soil seems admirably fitted
to their rapid and healthy growth in all
parts Of the Territory. At the east but a
small proportion Of the country, possesses
a soil adapted to the growing of peach
trees; consequently large part Of New
York and New England, is deprived Of
producing that delicious fruit, 1t is be-
LEVIED that most, if not all the kinds Of
fruit, found elsewhere in the same lali-
tudcs, may be grown to perfection in Wis
consin. Were every farmer and other
person, who is pos scsscd Of sufficient
spot Of ground, to devote a little time and
expense to the planting Of fruit trees; Wis
consin in Il few years would abound in
fruit as rich and delicious as in any other
country. AS TO the most suitable time or
season Of the year for planting the several
kinds of fruit trees, there may be differ
ence Of opinion; fall and spring have each
their peculiar advantages; both seasons
however, may be probably devoted to that
purpose.
There can probably be no improvement
of equal expense on farm, which would
hereafter prove a greater source Of gratif-
cation, and more amply reward the owner
than that incurred in planting an orchard
of fruit trees. Among all the productions
of the earth, none add more othe comforts
Of life, than those which in common par
lance are denominated fruit. A we'll cul- |

rural scenery: we never look at such a
sight without arriving at the irresistible
