Manv parents look upon the blindness OF
lheir offspring as punishment Of the
Deity, aud as a disgrace to themselves,
aud therefore prevent. as much as they
can. the fact OF their children being blind
from becoming known. Parents. isnor-
ant themselves, undeuate the Blessings
Of education. AFFECT poverty hinders
others from mourning the expense of E
journey to this Institution. These cir
cumstances threaten to render this noble
Legislative provision nugatory. in re-
spect to many Of the persons whose well
fare it conemplates and, these same
circumstances, we think, demand that
the hand aid the Voice of Christian be-
nevolence should interpose to rescue SO
many immortal! minds from ignorance
and degradation. To solicit such inter-
position, and make the fact that
our Institution is in active operation
more widely known, it is deemed ex-
pedient to issue this circular. We
are confident that our appeal will be
kindly entertained, when it is remember
ed that without the benevolent interposi-
ton which we now solicit, multltudes OF
these unfortunate fellow-ctiZens will IN
evi.abIv remain through lsee destitute OF
the benefits intended for item by their
native state--adding to the hards i.'s OF
blindness the now unnecessary evils OF
ignorance. lmbecility and dependence.

quest benevolent individuals Of all clas-
ses to aid in carrying out these kind IN
tentions of the state in behalf OF the
blind. TIE helplessness of these unior-
funates must Address their tenderest
sympathies. Without education, the
blind must pass their days in detection,

We are happy to believe that the sub
ject of agriculture, upon scientific princi-
pies, which have been proved to be cor
rect by the test Of successful experiment.
is beginning to excite the attention OF
the farmers of at least some portions Of
this cemmonwealth-mostly, however,
is this attention confined to that portion
of the state lying east Of the Blue Ridge.
Agricultural Societies are beginning to
flourish improvements in stock, and es
pecialIy in regard to hogs and cattle
improvements in the implements of ag-
riculture-resusctati of exhausted
farms, by applying those manures which
their peculiar quality demands-have
been the fruits of the labors of few en-
terprisins individuals, who have devoted
their experience and their talents to the
subject. The farmers Register, pub
lished at Petersburg, and the Southern
Planter, issued at Richmond, have emf
nently contributed to produce these chez
ring results. And learned and able
men, such as VIM. C. Rives. and I. j.
Randolph, have delivered spirited public
addresses upon the subject.
But We are sorry to know that the far
mers in our valley are taking very little
interest in the establishment of agricul-
tura associations and the Improvement
of their stock. In regard to the manner
in which the different kinds of soil ought
tc be cultivated, we probably are not
much out Of way when we say, as did
their fathers before; them. SO do they-wi,h-
out Knowing it may be, aphy they did
thus and so. An error which seems al
most universally to prevail among the
farmers in the valley, is that of seeding
corn ground-which we conceive to be
contrary to reason and experience--for
the reason that the land has no rest--its
strength must of necessity become ex-
hausted. Many other.errors Of our far
mers in regard to rotation of crops, APP
plication of manures, &c. might be nam
ed. But we indulge the hope that DIFF
ferent state of things will ere long ex
ist-that associations will be establish
ed to deyelope and osterstheinterests of
the larmer--and that we will NO longer
remain h7!f a century behindfhe ogei
We intend pub'shing-by piece-meal
the able, eloquent, ana instructive ad-
dresses of the distinguished individuals
above named, before the Albemare Ag-
ricultural Society at their fall meeting
and we earnestly solicit for them an at
tcptiye pcrusal.

FROM YUCATAN,

News to the oath Of November was yeste

by the Spanish brig Tonante, Capt Barrer
The land and naval Mexican force mad e
combined attack upon the heights surround
ing Campeachy on the Gath of November
and after desperate struggle, during Whic
both parties displayed the greatest braverj
the Yucatanese weTe driven from their stronI
position. The Mexicans have thus secuTe
great advantages, but their adversaries al
pear to be in no wise discouraged in consd
quence.
The day preceding the capture Of III
heights of Campeachy there was reguld
engagement between the Mexican feet an
the six gun boats of tile Campeachanos, j
which the former were repuIsed with COT
siderable loss.
! Desertions from the Mexican forces WEI
frequent, although every possible precauiio
was taken to prevent them. Among the d
serers are several sergeants, corporals, ar
other minor officers. Great cisafectiC
seems TO prevail in the Mexican ranks, b
the officers in command continue TO prove
! an outbreak by a rigid system OF discipline.
| The Mexicans observe great vigilance
enforcing the blockade. Nevertheless, y
!. learn that merchant essels laden with q
/ ceries and provisions continue TO steal tn
the Gordon of armed vessels a. night, al
deposit their cargoes within the City. Wh
this continues the Campeachanos cannot,
all events, be starved into surrender.

. OF the Yucatanese, in ihe cause of indepe

AS late as the Esd of November the REex
can Congress was discussing the new prc
iect for Constitution, the former one haviu
been rejected on account of not being suffic

modification.
Santa Anna was still at Manga de Clavo O
the 26th Of November, and does not spea
of returning TO the city of Mexico for iii

IL ~ or t,le old Yenr.

The present number of our paper is the
last ono Of the old year. Alas! how swiftly
the years pass along, and one after another
are buried in oblivion. The things of to-
day will on the morrow be numbered with
the things that have been, and scarcely have
we become, as it were, reconciled 10 1912
when 1913 hurries into birth, ere the knell
Of the departed year has ceased vibration.
1t appears but few days since we entered
upon the various duties assigned to US with
the coming in Of a new year, and now SINH
lar duties are close at hand. The year that
is dying has been the bearer Of death TO our
midst, and friends that rejoiced with us
when it was newly born, cannot mourn
with us over its departure. The bell Of
death has been tolled for them; the meian-
choy pail Of the moss-cOvered trees hangs
dropping Ger their graves; the wild-rose
and the thorn springs fronfthe turf that rests
upon their dust time is no more to them
they are portions Of eternity. All must min
gle, sooner or later, in the same mighty
ocean, 10 which the ever-vorying stream Of
time bears as onward ocean of Eterni-
ty. let US then prepare for the duties and
Vicissitudes Of another year with cheerful
ness and alacrity, taking the good and the
bad it may bring forth with an evenness Of
temper, for We can form no more idea of the
ultimate results Of the events of the coming
year, than can an old laying hen Of the por-
ton she contributes to a Christmas egg nogg.

This Packet-bOat, her master, and the
other officers attached TO her, are so well
known to our citizens that it were useless
in US TO say anything in the way of recon-
mendiDg either the boat or officers to our
acquaintanees and friends. The purpOrt
ofthe present paragraph is to make more
generally known than it now Oeems 10 be,
the fact of the Volant having resumed her
position in the Yazoo trade as packet be-
tween this port and Vicksburg, and now is,
aud has been for nea= three weeks past, ma
king her regular tri-weekly trips between
the two ports, arriving and departing ac-
cording to the days and hours specified by
advertisement on the adjoining page Of our
paper. To strangers travelling ola the va
zoo river, we can safely recommend the
Volant for punctualty, and her officers and
men as being in every way accommodating
to our neigbors around, it is all-suiIicient 10
