ultimate views Of the government in relation 10

not speedily made, there appears to be no
doubt that the instructions to Gen. Scott and

Queer, QuITE The Grand Jury of Acco-
mac county have presented as and eincendiary
newspaper the organ Of the Methodist Eps
copal Church. The presentment says, eve,
the Grand Jury, upon our oaths do present, that
the New York Christian Advocate and Journal,
newspaper published in the city of New York,
is paper which is circulated through the post
offices in this county, and advises, and is cal
culated and intended 10 persuade persons of
color within this Commonwealth to make insnr-
rection; or rebel, and denies the right Of mas
tiers 10 property in their slaves, and incucates
the duty Of resistance to such right, contrary
10 the statute in such case made and provided.n
'1H We are not surprised at this presentment,
as in Accomac and Northampton counties the
most dlsgracelal scenes have recently been
enacted, Ministers have been driven from The
pulpit, and forbidden 10 preach the word Of God

Jury and authorities overlooked the outrage,
which moved DR.. Bond editor of the Christian
Advocate and Journal, to address to Jugde Scar
borough series Of letters Of the most scathing
kind-,houeh at the same time treating him
with the utmost deGerence-which we suppose
led TO this presentment.
Nothing better could be expected where SO
much ignorance may be found. In the coun'
lies composing the Accomac district there is
not newspaper published, as Mr. Wise boast
ed on the floor Of Congress A gentleman in
forms us this is the fact though there was ar
effort made to publish small paper called
"Tie Shield,n in order to defend the Church il
the controversy which was going on. The pa
per was miserably printed, and as it was KEEP
up mainly by contributions, merely to serve the
occasion, it anguished and soon expired.

PREPARATION OF SEED CoRN.-As the sea-
son for planting corn is now at hand the fol-
lowing hints in reference thereto may be found
valuable. OF course they may be either re-
iecled or adopted, as may be deemed advisa.
BILE. In reference to soaking, however, we
might slate that one of our most enterprising
farmers has informed US thai on one occasion
he had his corn soaked, with the exception Of
quart or two, before planting. Immediately
after il had been put into the ground several
days of cold, dry weather ensued, but the
soaked corn came up. notwithstanding, while
the unsoaked never terminated, and they were
obliged 10 replant.
Take lib. salt-petre, and gallon of soot
put them in a hali-barrel, pour thereon slowly
10 gallons of boiling water, stir the whole well
together, until the heat of the water is some
what reduced, then put in a bushel of seed
corn and let il soak for 10 hours-then drain of
the seed, and dry il in mixture Of equal por
lions of plaster and ashes, when il will be fit Il
plant. The seed should always be planted the
same day il is taken out of the soak,--it ma,
however remain in the soak several successive
days without injury
Seed Corn, prepared in this way will germi
nate much quicker than if planted without il
and will thereby receive an impetus at its frs
starting, highly conducive to its luxurian
growth, beside being, as il were, secured to
degree against birds and insects. Corn thu
prepared should be rolled to insure it agains
dry weather.
As it is important TO encourage rapid growt

convenience should suit, il would be well /

Clayton, which we consider equal 10 any of
the wonderful achievements of the God of

feeit. The great statesman lives in the Inca
ments of this counterfeit presentment. The
massive brow, the expression of genius, cour-
age, candor and benevolence, which character
ize the original, break out from the likeness
with a vitality almost equal 10 that of nature
itself, No one can look into the face of John
M Clayton without conviction that he is moi
only giant in intellect, but man in whom all
the elements OF the higest moral excellence
are signally mingled. Mr.. Simons' daguerreo-
type does ample justice to its subject. 1t is an
extraordinary triumph of the art, and reflects
great credit upon the artist.
