In the discharge OF the duties imposed upon me by Con-

time TO me for the promotion OF the interests of agcul
ture some time since made arrangements to. procure
from representatives in foreign countries not only
such information would be interesting to the agrcul-
tursts OF this country but seeds of valuable graas and
plants which might be new, and adapted the climates
OF the United States and happy say that several
OF our representatives abroad have promptly underak
to carry out my views, but entered into them with
more aiacriiy and zeal than the Hon. Henry A. Wise,
late minister to Brazil and the Hon John W. Davis, our
present minister to China.
From Mr. Wise had the pleasure of receiving some
valuable varieties OF tobacco and other seeds And
Gently box OF seeds has been received from the Hon
W. Davis collected through The agency of s. Wells Viii
hams, esq author OF the interesting description OF that
country called The Middle Kingdom !" fist OF which
will be found below. AS the parcels were small tor
distribution they have been placed in the hands OF suta-
BILE individuals, horticultural association for cul
iyation with the hope that portion of the products
may hereafter be distributed extensively from this
office, should they succeed
This is only small beginning of what may be ex-
pected from similar efforts obtain the seeds OF foreign
products, and may be the of introducing valuable
varieties OF known vegetables, and also those which
entirely new to country Information has likewise
been received that small quantity of Dacca cotton,
celebrated the manufactures of India and some other
seeds, may be soon expected.
As these among the first fruits of the system have
adopted for procuring foreign seeds, have deemed il
proper to make this acknowledgment to the gentlemen
to whom am most indebted for its thus far.

The ST. Louis New Era uses language towards us
which we shall not condescend to notice But it puts
forth one which it is due to ourselves con-
tradct is utterly false, that "the most vndicve and
signal prescription of every who not locofoco
was demanded by Mr. Richie. of the Union, in the
Of the then triumphant democracy. 1t is utterly false,
that stewards his political opponents who were in the
employ Of government, matter how subaltern
important the position there but voice uttered
by Mr.. Ritchie-crucfy them erucify them!" We are
more amused than annoyed by this mans reckless
tons We defy any one to name the wing whom we
have attempted to turn from Office. No man in Wash
ington could have kept himself more perfectly aloo from
the appointments and removals OF the government, than
the editor of this paper. We never medded with them
during etwelve years Of the administrations of Gen
Jackson and Mr. Van Buren, and we laid down the
same rule to ourselves, from which never devated
