"The Farmers Library and Monthly Journal of Agriculture" the new work edited by JOHN s. SKINNER. Esq, and published by Greeley and Me- Elrath, New York, has just been received. It is got up with great deal of taste and ability, neatly printed on clear type and fine paper, and contains ii2 pages. The portion constituting the "Lbrary," i" is occupied with Lectures to Farmers on ARrirultu- ral Chemistry, by Alex. Peltzholdt, winch will be found exceedingly interesting. The "Monthly Jour. nal is filled with varied and interesting articles on all subjects connected with agrculture. Ofis wor- thy editor, than whom a more competent and devot. ed friend of agriculture does exist, it is needless to say word Twenty-six years ago he founded at Baltimore the "Amercan Farmer,'' the first aPr,- cultural periodical established in this country, and winch enjoyed for long time wide circulation and achieved in its career a vast deal of good. Mr. Skinner may justly feel proud, associated hls name is with the progress ofimprovemen in the U States, when contrasting the state of agriculture al the be- ginning of his labors, quarter of century slnce, with it's present condition. Then he was the sole champion-now he can reckon forty or fifty co. laborers And what changes too have been wrought in the noble and ennobIng pursuit! The subscrIp- ton price of this work is S5 per nnnum.

I am glad To see that writer in the Advertiser of the 23d inst has directed public attention to subject whose importance Is daily becoming of para mount interest It is one, the consideration of which has been by tacIt consent. 50 long and SO heedessly overlooked, that it's encroachments have nsidiously crept, step by step, until they have pass ed those salutary bounds which every well orgdn- ised community should prescribe to itself, unless that community desires 10 be overlooked in the sisiance.
 Upon such a sutiect, individual opinion can do nothing more than indicate. It Is only by a con- oI action arising from community of interest, that evils Of this nature can be arrested.
 The questions propounded by the writer in the Advertiser are pregnant with deep and abiding concern-and they require explicit and satisfactory replies, II behooyes our citizens 10 institute thelr own tribunals of enquiry law loving people are always loh to encroach upon the prerOgatives with which the, have clothed their authorised agents; but in default oi siern and Fearless scrutiny on the part oi the pubic aulhorltN, OR WISE AND PRU- DENT ABSTINENCE ON THE FART OF THE OF TENDERS, rhe great law o self preservation ought and viii inevitably, point to d more summary and eieetudl retributIon

Remonstrances have been made, and they are answered by continuance Enquiries which we have right to make, are answered in "blie reply" which is irrelevant. Be it ss. The evi speak of has hitherto been noticed but partially and therefore ncontnently condemned. Half way measures inspire embroidered defiance. Now con ceise it the duty of every lunctionary in communi ty to respect public opinion, if he please tc call it, public prejudces, upon all subjects wherein that public have just grounds to apprehend that tain proceedings of said uncionary can, (even m dreciIy,) work mischief, else the consequences of pertnacious and self opinonated pride must speech
