has been divorced by the Protective Policy. The
SUGGESTIONS for The establishment of warehous-
Ing system, if the cash duties are continued, with
certain notifications, will find favor generally
with those conversanl with business and its de-
tails. The recommendations OF the President on
this subject have been powerfully seconded ~
the reasoning of The Secretary Of the Treasury

On the whole, we are satisfied that the wise

North and South, East and West.

VAIIIApIE WORK


John s. Skinner, Esq, of New York, the dis
tinguished Editor of the Farmers Library and
Monthly Journal Of Agriculture, is now in this
city, al the Exchange Ho.el. He has labored
"wilh all his heart aud all his mind" 10 make it
Justify It's name and prove worthy OF The country,
in this age Of Agricultural improvement. That
he has succeeded in his useful and honorable pur-
pose, is fully testified by The encouragement which
he has received from all portions OF the country.
Poor farmers as we are, We cannot speak know
ingly OF The practical merits THE work-lhough
we have been much struck with the ability OF lis
articles, and the elegant style in which the work
is guien up But we can cite the evidence OF one oil
our most intelligent citizens and best farmers who
told us on Thursday, that, in following the asr-
cultural directions Of Mr.. Skinner, he had reali-
from 10 10 per cent. in his farming opera

copy Of his work
We are delighted 10 hear that lis prospects OF
Il successful career are very good. Considering
the volume OF matter and the style Of publication,
il is as cheap as airy other work in the country.
We have on hand, and shall endeavor 10 pub
lish al an early date, from sheet Of The forth
coming December No., very interesting article,
entitled wages and Condition Of Women and
Children employed in Agricultural Labor in
England OF that Condition and Descrip-
ton of Labor on their Health and Morals"
In The mean time, We shall leave in The Hall
OF the House Of Delegates the November No,
for The inspection Of the members OF the Lcgi>-
ature. II is well worthy Of their examination
and we ieel sure that they will embrace The op.
porlnnily 10 improve their own notions OF farm
ing and The general agricultural condition OF the
State

animated and interesting debate occurred upon

favorable direction. But we have no time 10

GENERAL COURT.

On Wednesday, John NJ. Patton, Esq, opened
the important Parkersburs case for The Stale OF
Virginia, in speech which exhibited much abb
lily and legal learning. On Thursday Mr.. Vinton
OF Ohio addressed the court on behalf of The State
of Ohio. He is pleasant speaker, and IS cyl
IDENTIFY an able and accomplished lawyer lie
took the bold and broad ground, that Virginia
never had any Just claim 10 The northwest tcrfi-
tory, and could not therefore, cede il 10 the United
States-thal her terrilory was limited by the ridge
the Allegheny mountains, and she had not
then nor now, any jurisdiction on the Ohio river.
He pressed this argument with much ingenuity
and force, and piled authority" upon authority"
We saw in The court room on Thursday, NAL
General Winfield Scott, who returned 10 Wash

Yesterday, Mr. Attorney General Baxter made
an animated and strong argument for the State OF
