In a Pet.

A writer in the vicksburg Sentinel, who
signs himself THE Governors Organ"
whines most piteOusly on account Of the
Governor having appointed some Wings to
office, particularly the appointment Of Wings
as commissioners TO locate the State lands
at FIVE dollars pOr day. This writer thinks
that Gov. Brown has been keeping bad com.
pany lately, or he certainly would not have
appointed those 'rascally" Wings to office,
when there were so many good democrats
that wished the appointment.
The fact is, the Governor acted wisely in
appointing Wings as commissioners, for had
he appointed democrats, at foe dollars per
day, it is very doubtful if the State lands
would have been located for the next FIVE
years. As it is, the commissioners appoint,
ed will locate them as speedily as possible,
and no doubt save thousands of dollars 10
the State. We would, however, advise Gov.
Brown to give his organ "bone TO pick
in order 10 silence his growing.

IMPROVEMENTS IN PITTsBURGH.--We

good earnest to repair the burnt district, in
that portion all is life and activity:-con.
tracts have already been entered into for
the building Of some four or Ave hundred
houses Of large dimensions, and others are

THE FARMERS cREEp.--We believe in small
farms and thorough cultivation. The soil loves to
eat well its owners, and ought therefore to be
nurtured.
We believe in large crops, which leave the land
better than they found it-making both the farm
and the farmer rich at once.
We believe in going to the bottom Of things, and
therefore in deep ploughng, and enough Of tall
the better il with snbsoi plough.
We believe that the best fertility Of any soil is
the spirit Of industry enterprise, and intelligence
without this, lime and gypsum, bones and green
manure mari or plaster, will be of little use
We believe in good fences, good barns, good
farm-houses, good stock, and good orchards.
We believe in clean kitchen, neat wife in 1t, a
spinning-piano, clean cupboard, dairy, and con-
science.
We firmly disbeeve in farmers that will not inn
prove; in farms that grow poor every year; IN
starved cattle; in farmers boys turning into clerks
and merchants; in farmers daughters unwilling to
work; and in all farmers who are ashamed of their
vocation.

TRADE AND TRAVEL ON THE LAKEs.-The increase
in the number of passengers and in the amount of
merchandise on the lakes, has this year exceeded
all expectations. From the very commencement Of
the season, the larger and avorite boats have had
full loads of passengers and freight; and that
the winter is approaching apace, every craft that
comes up the lakes is loaded down with men and
merchandise, seeking home market in the
free and fertile West For the last three or four
days, we have had succession of crowded boats.
The Oregon came in on Wednesday with some 600
passengers, and crammed full of freight The Mis-
souri, followed on Friday with equally heavy
load And on Saturday the magnificent Empire
came in port bearing upon her ample decks and
within her capacious hold the largest number of
passengers and the greatest amount of freight ever
transported in one vessel on the lakes. The num-
Der Of persons landed at this port alone must have
exceeded four hundred while the pier fairly lit
tered up with boxes, bales, chests, and merchandise
of all Sorts One wonders, at FIRST where they all
come from, and whittier they all going. But,
upon reflection it becomes matter of surprise that
the rush is not greater Certainly if people the
East could see with their eyes this Territory of
Wisconsin, and satisfy themselves, by their own ex-
perience of the fertility of the SOIL the saubrity OF
the climate, the cheapness of the living, the low
price of land and the large returns which the tenn
ing earth Yields to its Industrious cutivators, the
tide of immigration, though already swollen to such
degree, would be doubled and trebled Wiscon-
sin, indeed is the country for the man Of moderate
means and industrious habits. II is q land Of prom
Use and Of hope, and, as SUCH will be eagerly sought
by all in the Old World or the New, who desire to

TERMINATING SEEDS UNDER coLoRED GLAss.--A
curious discovery has been made by the secretary
ofthe Royal Polytechnical Society Of England, and
il is said to be one which may prove of great i'm
portance in cutivatng exotics. By this il is proved
that the yello,o and red rays are destructive to germa-
ton; while under the influence Of violet, indigo, or
blue light, the process determination is quickened
in extraordinary manner The rationale is that
every beam of light proceeding from its solar source,
is bundle Of different colored rays to the absorb
ton or reflection of which we owe all that infinite
diversity Of color which is one Of the greatest
charms of creation. These rays being known to
possess different functions, the light which permea-
ties coored glass parakes Of the character Of the ray
which corresponds with the glass in color; thus
blue glass admits the blue or chemical rays TO the
exclusion Of others; yellow glass admits only the
penetration of the luminous rays; while red glass
cuts off all hut the heating rays, which pass It freely
This affords very easy method Of growing plants
under the influence Of any particular light that may
be desired.

DEEP rLoueHINo.--We have occasionally urged
the importance Of deepening the soil, by turning up
and mixing with the surface small portions of the
subso where its nature is such az to produce ben
efciaI effects We have known many instances OF
the beneficial effects of such course. DIR. u: ii.
Robinson, Of Pennington, Ontario county, New
York, being compelled TO prepare piece OF grass
land for wheat, late in summer ploughed It very
deep--not less in any place than eight inches, but
averaging nine or ten inches. This was thoroughly
narrowed, with small dressing of rotted manure,
and sowed upon the inverted sod. The product was
thirty-fve bushels per acre, on land where twenty
bushels are usually considered heavy crop. Another
very skillful farmer of our acquaintance finds so
such benefit from the mixture Of the subso, that ne
considers decided advantage would result, so far as
raising wheat is concerned, if six inches OF the
surface of his land were entirely removed and carried
off,
Subsoil ploughng would doubtless be useful in
such cases to a certain extent; but wewould more
particularly recommend thorough trench ploughlng
-one plough to follow the first, so as to loosen and
throw up the soil to the depth of at least one oot-

NATIONAL wEALrH--AprLEs, &o.--Every one
knows that heavy imports and light exports will in
time render any nation bankrupt, while the reverse
cannot fail to enrich. II hence becomes an object
with every patriot to discover and promote such
kinds of business as will increase the exports of the
nation. saH
A large part Of the United States is finely adapted

one case, successful cultvator in this State, by
very careful selection Of the finest, obtained twenty

the usual price he obtains there for his best fruit
Now, every cultivator knows that hundreds of

As matter Of course, paid my respects to our
democratic President at his first levee after my ar
rival. found him the plain, modest, unpretending
republican we supposed him to be, unelated by pros
perity, as he would be unoppressed by adversely
man of kind and simple manners, sngularly pleas
ing in his address, and surrounded by quiet circle
without the least sign of ostcntation ceremonous
parade. There are thousand dwellings in New
York, where plain democrat would feel less at his
ease than in the mansion Of our President.
There Is but little news conversation about pol
tics. IL is now the calm that precedes what may
be storm at the opening of the session. The DEM
ocratic party is strong, that must look for at
tempts at division. The printing of Congress will
be the first point to split upon but do not see any
prospect of serious difficulty in settling that. The
tariff will prove the great question of the session.;
and the administration will need all its wisdom and
frmness to carry it safely between the Scylla and
Charybdis that foam or yawn on either side of the
course it seems to me committed to pursue.
Yours, etc. x. q. z.
