GEoRGETowN, April 7, ls49.
find, on looking the Inteligencer of yesterday,
that W. II Edes, of this town, has been appointed by the
President one OF the inspectors of the penentay of this
District; understand the salary is hundred dollars
per annum.
The officer removed to make room for Mr. Edes is
MIR Richard JONES' of the Oldest and respected
citizens OF this town, and who certainly competent
and faithful officer.
And how Gen. Taylor has redeemed his pledge in this
instance, cannot perceive, when he has told
and again that he has "no enemies to punish, and no
friends to reward" and that all he requires of officer
IS, that he be hones and competent In the absence Of
these prerequisites, should be just for removal
But seems that it was enough 10 know that Mr. Jones
was democrat-and Oft went bis head
Mr.. Edes the fortunate successor of Mr.. Jones, it
would seem, must be rewarded for his valuable services
rendered IN the campaign OF lS4s in contributing towards
the election of Gen. Taylor The 'laborer is worthy of
his hire and besides, he the President of the Tay
Tor Club No. l. OF this town, in which capacity he acted
VITA great circumspecton and, matter OF course, it
was nolsed all about town, and his name appeared in
prints and to cap the Climax he was marshal in chief
the part OF the citizens of Georgetown the 9th OF March,
TO attend the Inauguration of General Taylor and finally,
the old General heard of all this and gave him the office
OF inspector of the penitentiary PALO ALTO.

The National Inelligencer abors, in long article of
yesterday morning. to establish coalition between the
democrats and free -soiers of Connecticut and New
York 1t attempts by this process to impress the South
with belief thatthe defeat of the wings in Connecticut
is real victory to the democratic party, and that the
wings have been defeated by the free soers This is all
"Love's labor lost"
Does the National Intelgencer forget that these very
wings at the North represented Gen Taylor free
soler, or Wilmot Provs6 man Does it forget that
the wings of the South voted for Willard Fillmore who
is Wilmot Provsois and who is pledged to favor the
abolition of slavery in the District OF Columbia and who
voted in Congress for every abolition proposition which
before the House of Representatives. whilst he was
in that body Does the National Intellgencer forget
that General Taylor has appoiRted two Wmot Proviso
abolitonss to his cabinet and sits in council with them
nearly every day in the week, viz Messrs Ewing and
Collamer that Mr. Colamer has always voted for the
Wimot Provso, and for all abolition propositions even
Colts resolution TO abolish slavery in this District p
that 1885, Mr. Collamer declared in speech in Con-
gress that slavery must eease-hat it may be tempo
rarily pallated excused, the ground of necessity
but that that cannot endure-tha every man is
bound faithfully TO exert himself to remove that neces.
styi'
Does forget that in the late election in New Hamp-
shire the wings and free-soilers united and that they
elected Wilson and Tuck, avowed wing frees oers'
In view OF these facts it i'll becomes the editor of the
ntelgencer to camor about the coalition of democrats
and free sellers After the voluntary coalition of the
wings and freesoiles throughout large portion of the
Union, to which General Taylor is so much indebted
for his election, it requires great deal of arrogance
to charge the same thing the democrats. We advise
him first to pluck the beam out OF his eye.

GOOD SOCIETY,".

Ii should be the aim of young men..to GO
into good society. We do not mean the
rich, the proud and fashionable, but the
society Of the wise, the intelligent and good.
Where you find men that know more
than you do, and from whose converation
one can gain information, it is always safe
to be found. 1t has broken down many
a man by associating with the low and
vulgar-where the ribald song was inculca-
ted-and the indecent story to excite
laughter and influence the bad passions.
Lord Clarendon has attributed his success
and happiness in life, to associating with
persons more learned and virtuous than
himself. If you wish to be wise and re-
spected-if you desire happiness and not
misery, we advise you to associate with
the intelligent and the good. Strive for
mental excellence and strict integrity, and
you never will be found in the sinks OF
pollution, and on the benches of the retailers
and gamblers. Once habituate yourself to
virtuous course-once secure love OF
good society, and no punishment would be
greater than by accident TO be obliged for
half day to associate with the low and
vulgar.

American Butter.

We cut the following paragraph from
the Scientific American. The subject is
one worthy Of attention
The Genesee Farmer, speaking of
American butter in England, says that by
foreign accounts it is not so well packed or
made as the Irish or Dutch, and great
quantity oft has to be sold for grease, as
being unfit for use. We believe the evil
OF this does not so much lie in the packing
as In the way of collecting the cream. To
make good butter the milk should never be
turned when the cream is taken off. Let
care be exercised in this respect, and then
we will always have sweet butter from
sweet cream. Or let the milk be churned
without skimming-the way in which the
best butter is produced. 1t would be well
to pack the butter frkens inside of larger
firkens filed between with salt.

TreeS...Plant Trees.


Mr.. Freas: l desire to call the atten-
rion of our farmers-particularly those
residing in villages or close neighbors to
the importance of planting trees as means
of promoting health. Not only do trees
add greatly to the beauty of a place. but
they also purify the air. The Greeks
planted trees in all their towns and villages,
and it is said by historians, that in Calchis,
in Eubaa, they were so numerous indeed
that the streets were hardly discernable in
consequence of the immense mass OF toll-
age by which they were overhung-every
passage and alley-way being literally
arched with trees, and bathe d IN the cool
ing influence of their deep and refreshing
shadows. do hope, MIR. Editor, that you
and your correspondents will not fail, fire.
quently to improve the importance of
planting trees, for ornament as well as use,
upon the minds of our farming friends.-
Let every man who this season owns
homestead, or a rod of unoccupied soil,
plant at least one tree. For my own part
intend to practice what preach, and to
plant whenever and wherever | can find
the opportunity and chance. Any of our
forest trees will flourish well and vigorous
ly, if carefully transplanted. Persons who
can do so may consult their own tastes in
selecting; there are many kinds of indigo
nous trees, both deciduous and evergreen,
which have beautiful effect upon scenery.

Educate Yourself.

knowledge is its own exceeding great
reward. 1t Is not the gift of a college,
particularly. 1t is what the mind produ-
ces whenever it acts. Great schools are
chiefly appliances for the lazy, to furnish
substitutes for knowledge, by which to
make their way in the world. A youth
so much benefited by ''Hberal educa-
tion'' as he is apt to imagine he will be,
before tryingit. Ifyour parents are rich,
and have nothing better to do with their
money, let them board you at Cam bridge
or Yale for four years. But if they are
poor, laboring people, stay with them and
labor too. But don't the less strive for a
liberal education. Be liberal in supp! ying
yourself with books and time. Journey
on foot and study nature and men. Ask
questions of verybody and everything.
Thus doing, you will probably acquire
more satisfactory and useful knowledge,
and what is more, sounder character and
6rmer heaIth-you will be more of man
than If you distress your parents TO have
knowledge put into your mouth with a
pap-spoon. 1t is thus that the greatest
and best men are made in every country.
