The PoTATo RoT. writer in the Freder-
ick Examiner, in speaking of the disease which
prevails so extensively among the potatoes,
says, "that it is to be attributed exclusively to
the heavy manuring in the hill with upper
muted or stable manure" After considerable
enquiry amongst his neighbors, he has found,
"that those who manure heavie in the hill,
with stable manure, complain the loudest
Those who use it broadcast complain but little,
some of them not at ALL"
1t is possible that manuring highly may fa-
clitate the progress of the disease; but that it
is attributable alone to- that cause we have po-
sitive evidence to the contrary-for we have an
instance within our own know ledge in which
potatoes planted at the same time in different
places, and without particle of manure Of any
kind, produced very differently-those on high
land being fine and exempt from rot, whilst
those on low land were nearly all destroyed
But we do not consider this difference OF loca-
tion a solution of the question as to the cause
of the disease as it prevails in Europe as we'll as
in this country. May it not be atmospheric
We should like to see series of experiments
tried by some Of our experienced farmers, with
the view OF arriving at a correct conclusion.

MONEY IN New YoRK. The Tribune says
that the Banks feel little shy about the pros
poets of the coming six months, having pru-
dental fear of the crisis which our rulers at
Washington may bring about. Still they are
discounLing for their customers to fair extent.
In the street first class paper is easily negota-
ted at 6 l2a7 per cent, but any thing else is
passed with difficulty, and loans on fancy
stocks are almost matters of tradition. The
money market cannot be considered tight for
best securities, but anything questionable can
not bear the screws.

PROPOSITIONS FOR PEACE. We publish to-
day the message ofthe President to the Senate
in secret session. in relation to our affairs with
Mexico, together with the resolutions adopted
thereupon. 1t will be seen that the President
assumes precisely the ground which we have
heretofore maintained, viz: that it would not
be incompatible with national dignity or honor
to make an overture of peace to Mexico
Those who have urged this measure upon 60
vernment have been denounced, in some cases,
as little less than traitors to the country; and
vet the President and both houses of Congress
have approved it, Such is the reckless course
of some politicians, and of those neutras who
never take step but as the fngleman directs,
nor express an opinion that is not put into their
mouths. We have repeatedly said, that the
position of the United States would enable 60
Vernment to invite Mexico to conclude the
war by aa honorable peace, without dread of
having improper motives imputed to it; and in
the message Of the President, he almost literally
copies our language. We rejoice to see that
he possesses the disposition to terminate the
war, and hope that he will persevere in his en-
deavors to procure peace, notwithstanding the
failure of Congress to supply him with the re-
quired two millions of dollars. From his hav-
ing asked the appropriation of this sum of mo-
ney we were under the impression that the
proposal of peace came from Mexico. In this
it appears we were mistaken-and yet it may
be- that there has been some understanding
with the authorities of Mexico, by which the
President has been assured that peace would be
made, and portion of territory ceded, upon
certain conditions. We believe that California
could be obtained for a compensation, and it
would certainly be more desirable to purchase
than to conquer it. The President disaYows
the intention to make the war one of conquest;
but we have no doubt that it is his firm resolve
to obtain California by one of the two modes
named; and that, to enable him to adopt either
the troops under Col. Stevenson and other
forces are to be sent to the Pacific.

CONSULTING THE STARS. Astrologer Hague,
it seems, has consulted the stars in relation to
coming events, connected with the passage of
the tariff act-and the "aspect of the planets"
are said to be portentous of "scenes of confu-
sion, suffering, distress and calamity, such as
have seldom, if ever, been known before; and
originating mainly, out Of this subject" He
says "indeed, it would not.surprise me, if Con-
gress were required to meet again before the law
shall go into effect" The planets, we suspect,
will have little to do with the subject; but that
there will be some suffering we think not I'M
likely. 1t cannot be otherwise with those who
may be deprived of employment. "There are
portents" (says Mr.. Hague,) "of great excite
ment among the people during November"
and workers, in iron, lead, mines, and the rail
road companies, are to exert a tremendous in
fuence. We wish that the astrologer could
so arrange the "aspects of the stars" as to CON-
pei our Railroad companies to adopt the more
liberal system which prevails esewhere-it
would be consulting the stars" to some ad-
vantage.
Believers in astrology may be alarmed at the
card published in the National Intelligencer;
but rational people will continue to move on
undisturbed in their vocations, by his "portents
of dire calamity" not vauing them pinch
of snuff

A CHILD MURDERED BY ITS MOTHER. An
inquest was held in Philadelphia, on Wednes-
day, over the body of an infant about nine
months old, which was found buried in Smick's
Woods, near Manayunk. 1t was stated before
the inquest, that the child had been drowned
by its mother in the the creek at that place and
then buried with dirt and leaves. 1t was also
stated that she had acknowledged the act, and
given as a reason, that she had lost her husband
that she was unable to keep the child-that
if she put it in the Almshonse, it would be i'll
treated, and she would never be allowed to have
possession of it again. Under these ercum-
stances she thought it would be happier out of
the world. The woman was committed to pri-
son to take her trial at Court.

MORE ABOUT PRIvArEERs. The New York
Tribune has seen letter from Key West dat
ed Gath July, which states that on the evening
fthe 2lst July, the pilot boat Lafayette came
into port, having been within thirty yards oil
Mexican privateer, near the reef. The pilot
boat run near him at first, and when she found
out that the vessel was Mexican, would have
hauled off, but it was too late. The pilot boat
hailed, and in answet, said she was from Tam
pico, bound to Martinique. She was full-rigg-
ed brig, drawing l2 feet water forward. On
the morning of the 22d, it was reported on the
Key, that she was seen with wrecker in her
possession. The Revenue Cutter Morris sail

be, should they come together, is doubtful, from
