INFRINGEMENT.

We trust that the latter day friends of re-
trenchment Will be fully satisfied with the sue
cess that has attended the forts of Mr.. Arnold.
After bordering with true Wouter Van Twiller
somnolence, for seven months, on the aiiiirs oil
the nation, he suddenly changes his mode OF
action, and becoming as restless and hdgetty as
William the Testy himself, pounces on the
House with his bill 10 reduce the pay of the
members of Congress and the salaries OF
the officers of Government. Other bills for
this purpose had been already reported >
they were slunbe1ng in the committee of the
whole, and have been SO resting for some
months. Mr.. Arnold's bill, by his own con-
sent, has, after two or three days OF restless
activity, retired TO the same asylum. But no
matter-lheIe is time left for debating this as
well as other important questions. Time IS
money-ind the money will be appropriated for
much longer session. The appropriation is
10 a bi which has passed the COMMITTEE of the
Whole.

LORD ASHBURTON.

We have received a most impudent lett r,
from an irresponsible source, we presume, which
asserts that Lord Ashburlon, the Special Brl-
fish Minister, is the capitalist who has purchas-
ed the State debts, &c. This is utterly untrue,
and, if such is the general impression, 1t Is but
lust to correct it at once, and we are happy to
have it in our power 10 do so. The intorma-
ton in our possession warrants ms IN making
this positive contradiction. When the name OF
the capitalist engaged in this speculation is pub
lshed, our correspondent will, we trust, cease to
deal in conjec,ures, particularly when they be-
get enmily in his bosom for those as innocent
as himself.
Since the above was in type, one OF our bes
friends, thinking the paragraph in Saturday 5
paper might lead others to suppose Lord A
was the .'Capiialisl' alluded to, called In, and
suggested the propriety Of correcting the wrong
impression of some Of our readers. We trus1
our anonymous correspondent will at once see
his error.

THE MONEY MARKET.

The whole face ofthe monetary world presents the
view heretofore noticed-a lassude and in
anity which requires time to ameorae. Around us
and at all points where state of affairs is not
existing, the same is misunderstanding until the
recuperave energies OF the country tshall, OF their
own accord furnish more favorable turn to the now
dorman. energies of all classes The Government
has provided funds for the payment of the interest
the Ire sury notes issued and over due. This has
partially restored confidence in them invest
ment. All that is required is punctual payment OF
interest at given periods the liquidation Of the prln-
cipa ultimately being ithout question.
The action of Congress, however, serves much to
unsettIe the state of afars-he continued animosity
toward the President resulting in injury to the
country

To the Editor of the Madisonidn

To the Editor of the Madisonidn
SIR: In attempting to comply with the pro-
mise made in a former article, few remarks
are necessary, upon the motives OF those who
attempt to bring into dsrepute provision Of the
Constitution, necessary as has been proved, to
the healthful action of our Government The
authors of this attack have no hopes of prevail
ing upon the People to consent to a repeal Of
this provision. The objects they have in view
are of temporary character, and are two fold.
First, to excite the indignation of the public
against the President for exercising power
which they affect to believe is of doubtful pro-
priety. Secondly, to ntimidate him by show
of popular opinion, expressed through party
presses, leagued with the majority in Congress
in order to prevent a repetition OF IT, They
thus hope at once TO crafty their revenge, and
10 consum nate measures which they are we
assured will not be sanctioned by the People ;
and which they dare not postpone, until they
can be referred TO that trbu la Fooled by the
application of the Veto, in an attempt tasten
again upon the country an institution so odIous
that they were compelled to abjure IT, previous
to the election which brought them into power

RERS OF THE NORTH!
The last Milledgevle (Ga.) Recorder, pa

nounces a meeting of lree'raders recently held
in Putnam county, at which resolutions were
adopted condemning Mr.. Clay for his advoca-

"The explanation which we have thus given in
re erence to the notice for the meeting in Putnam
exhibits very nearly views in relation to the ac-
ton of the meeting itself 1t was got up for popular
effect so ely, and the action OF the meeting was
strictly conformed to the object. The great intent
is to operate the approaching elections and to IN
lure Mr.. Clay in Georgia. Notwithstanding Mr..
Claws last declaration in the Senate, OF abiding by
the Compromise act, and of sustaining tariff for
penue only still opponents using every Hort
to make the people believe, in the very teeth OF these
declarati ons, that Mr. Clay is the advocate OF tariff

their memory, they will recollect that the declara-
tons of Mr.. Clay tins subject were so far
from being of the protective character, that one of
their most prominent candidates for the Presidency,

| date-we mean of course Mr.. Observation-Disclosures
| ed to make capital on the tariff side from Mr. Clays
declarations, and m de certain inquiries oil MN,
charging him distinctly with having abandoned his
principles. Mr. Clay denied this change of prncl-
pie thou n he maintained his modified opinions on
the subject and assigned as his reason for this modi-
fed opinion that he did not believe the manufacture
ing interest at this day required tariff for protec-
ton or more than the incidental protection derived
under an economical revenue Notwithstanding all
this opponents, in desperation certainly, Tor none
but desperate cause would rely on course OF mis-
representation so easily exposed seem determined
to make this false issue the raying point OF all their
efforts for supremacy. The good sense and ntelli.
gence of Georgia however, is not to be thus imposed
upon. The great mass of our population can read,
and they do read for themselves. With MIR. Cay's
own independent declarations in the Senate OF the
United States this subject, on the one hand, and
the sayings of Mr. Clays opponents, as to what are
his opinions on the other, imagine the people OF
Georgia will not lack enough to be able to de-
termne which is which and what IS what; or in 9TH
er words they will, presume, come to the reason
able conclusion that Mr.. Clay probably knows his
own opinions and views rather better than his oppo-
nents can or will express them for him

The Two PREACHERs.-They say Pro-
fessor Bascomb of the Methodist, and Ell
der Knapp Of the Baptist church, are CO.
ming this way. The first is chaste, var
nshed and powerful rhetorician, deeply
tutored in the arts of oratory, and having
all the advantages Of a seductive address
and commanding person. The latter is
altogether different character. Without
early culture-despising ornament-with
no grace of person-paying little regard TO
the conventions and etiquette Of society, he
goes into the pulpit just as reaper would
into field Of grain. There sits the con-
gregation, and he determines to make
wide ''swathe" right through it, no matter
who is cot down, or how they fall, rich or
poor, big or little. He pulls off his coat
and goes to work. He looks like any
thing but an orator. His language is in
elegant; he knows nothing of logic, belle
lettre or rhetoric; his dress is not that of
gentleman; he is uncompromising in his
war upon the vices, foibles, and even the
venial frivoities Of refined life; he is Sc
we're even unto harshness, not unfrequent-
ly personal; yet IN Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and more recently in Boston, night after
night, for weeks in succession, he drew
crowds of the elite, the educated and schol-
arship Of the city. 1t became the fashion
to hear him, and the pare on each side Of
the door, and the street clear across to the
opposite side, were literally blocked, when
ever he preached. We heard him year
ago in Baltimore. He was at first dry,
then humorous, setting the congregation
in roar, then sarcastic and bitter, and by
and by, when his soul began TO burn, his
gestures became rapid, indeed, convulsive;
his utterancc was shriIl and fearfuIly dis
tinct, and his words fell like electric flash
es upon the audience, confounding, dis
maying, and startling every body, some
sitting incapable of motion, many weeping,
others crowding up to be prayed for, and
many flying from the tabernacle 10 smoth
er their new sensations, as men rush out
into the free air from burning house.

A HUNTING STORY.

We make the following extract from a
letter, which we found in the Grand Gulf
Advertiser:
81 am unable TO give you a large hunt
ing story, as have not been driving, but
had some sport last nigh, killing wood
cock. which are very numerous, and come
in from the swamps after night 10 feed in
the cotton fields. We started from the
house with large pine torch (held by
negro) which gave brilliant light, giving
US sight Of the bird and at the same time
-blinding it, and allowing us TO approach
close enough to shoot il with a squib.-
We only killed IL brace, on account Of
the moon. A negro who followed us how
ever, took more novel mode of despatch
ing the bird-knocking them over with a
long cane, in which he succ eeded wonder
fully, much to his own qualification and
amusement. - -f
Squire r., "of the Lake." went out
some time ago TO hunt water fowl. He
has a shot gun which understand shoots
most powerfully. Observing a flock Of
geese, approaching him, when he dis
charged his gun and killed the whole flock,
which was large one. After the fall Of
the geese, and while he was engaged in
picking them up, there came tumbling down
seven sand hill cranes, which were so high
up at the time he shot that he did not see
them. For fear the truth of this story
should be doubted, and TO prove the great
force with which the gun shoots, he had
gone 10 hunt bear some time previous to
this, and in loading the gun rather over
charged her. On firing at the bear the
gun kicked him down, and kept kicking
him until she had kicked HIM one hundred
yards, and would have probably kicked
him TO death, had not one Of his negroes
who was with him, run TO his assistance
and taken her off: More in my next

To make sod Fence.-As the time will
soon come to begin to make preparations
for fencing, must give you my plan for
making sod fence. In the first place |
stake out for my bank seven feet wide,
then plough nine burrows on each side with
my prairie plough about IA inches wide
and deep; then commence the bank 5 #.
at bottom, laying the sods fiat on the out
sides; and after laying up three sods high
then commencing ditch (the bitches
should not be nearer the bank than ten in
ches) on both sides q feet on the top, and
when done about % deep. This with the
sods laid on the outside, makes about 5 feet
at bottom, four feet high and three feet on
top This prevents cattle from getting to
i. on either side. The ditch is too wide
for cattle to step across and too deep and
narrow to get into it. One man can make
three rods in day.

permit me to say a few words respecting
my successful 1910 | procured few
silk worms eggs in Indiana, the stock OF
which was obtained from Economy, Pa. in
'39. The eggs Matched we'll about the 10th
of June. They were kept in cool Gel
lar until they commenced Matching, about
1000 in number. They were healthy,
and produced about three bushels Of CO.
coons; and from the eggs produced from
them that hatched the second time, fed
about 30, 900 more the same season in Au-
gust and September. They were healthy
produced about / bushels of cocoons or
ll2lbs. They were what are called the

nut. | have fed few of other varieties
which | consider far inferior 10 the peanut
and therefore saved eggs only of the pea
nut kind. We run offthe silk on our COM

reeled it on our common reel, and made sew

Anecdote.--An old gentleman, who

resides not fifty miles from Porland--but
who is Liberal, Gas is termed in religious
matters-was requested to give something
in aid of preaching from an order that he
did not fully fellowship. Certainly"
says our hero, "because think we ought
to have preaching in the village; but il at
comes too hot, shall raise the window"
The preaching came, and went on pretty
we'll for the season. But, one Of the cold
est days of the winter, in the midst Of a
sermon, the old gentleman was seen to
leave his seat and gently raise the window.
If the squire had uttered a most violent

er, it could not have produced half Of the

did.--Port7and Argus.

If the comparison were made only of
the agricultural districts of England. the
result would not be the same; for England
does raise more wheat per acre, under
good cultiration, than the United States
But when the hills of Scotland, the boys OF
Ireland, and the fens and moors are taken
into consideration, the United States is the
most productive country by far.
In this comparative view of Europe and
the United States, we may see the true
ground of that physical growth which cha
racterizes the United States, and which
undoubtedly must characterize it for ma
ny centuries to come.

What has been done for the benefit of the
