BY an act passed at the last Session of Con
gress il resolved, that the advertising Of the
different Departments at the scat of government,
well as the branches Of those departments else
where, should appear in such newspapers as were
most widely circulated. 1t is in accordance with

The June number Of this valuable Agricultural
Journal, has been placed on our table, by friend
Bolts We can but do justice to our worthy friend,
when we say that he deserves, at the hands of the
Farmers, nay, Of the State ut large. substantial
evidence of his merits, rs a faithful guardian
Of State interest, in the PRONUNCIATION of valuable
and improving information upon the subject Of
agriculture. We cay then, encourage him liber.
ally in his good work, prove to him by numerous
subscriptions. and prompt payments, that you re.
gard the laborer as worthy Of his hire.
The Southern Planter has been published for
several years past. and every year that il grows
Older, the more it is entitled to public favor.
The Planter, like other Journals, can reach
subscribers through the mail, free of postage, any
distance not exceeding 80 miles from Richmond.
Any person may, therefore, obtain a monthly
visit from this valuable friend Of the farmer, for
whole year, at a cost Of only 81.
We use the following thoughts Of friend Bolts,
on the subject of the present wheat prospects:
1.-THE CROPS.

We watched her b,esihing through the night
Her breathing sou and low,
AZ on her breast the wave OF life
Kept heaving TO and fro.
SO silently we seemed to speak.
SO slowly moved about,
AZ We had lent her half our powers,
To exc her being out.
Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears our hopes belied;
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came dim and sad,
And chill with early showers,
Her quiet eyeiids closed;-she had
