we are glad that Senator Foote voted, on
the 10Th instant, against the bill admitting Cal
ifornia with the limits claimed by her conven-
ton. The bill viii meet Within warmest OPP
position in the House, from the Southern mem-
hers, who are determined to resist it by "all
usual legislative and constitutional means, un.
I'll d settlement Of the territorial questions.'' p
Should It pass the lower House, Of which we
think there is little doubt, the greatest excite
ment will prevail throughout the Southern
States.
In the event Of lie passage, it is the duty Of
the governorof Georgia, Gas stated by Mr.. Ber-
rien,) BY net Of her last Legislature, to convene
that body forthwith.
Other Southern States have expressed, du-
ring the past winter, the strongest opposition
to her admission under the extraordinary cir

tone Of their resolutions and the excited state
Of the public mind, Georgia viii be sustained
in whatever course Of resistance she may indi-

A citizen Of the District Of Columbia, in a

plains that Congress has taken no e%fCectual

all the accomplices Of that vile faction to be

inhigh places.

men OF both political parties, and il will be
seen that they make the line of Sc deg. 80 min

unanimity does not exist here? when members
Of Congress from the South seem to have for
gotten all party differences, and to be engaged
in 4 generous rivalry to see who can do most
in maintaining the rights Of the South.
Our people are not yet entirely united on
this question; but the day IL not far distant, in
our humble opinion notwithstanding the stree :

AGRICULTURAL.
SAW DUST FOR BEDDING.

Permit me to inform your farming readers
that saw dust is one of the best, if not the very
best article that can be used for bedding horses
and cattle. 1t soaks up and preserves all the
liquid manure, and keeps the animals dry and
clean and after the floor has been cleaned off
and received new coating of the dust, the sta
bic is sweet and clean enough for a parlor. We
have used it every winter for four or five years,
both for cattle and horses, and should scarcely
know how to stable COWS without it. A good
wagon load will last ten cows a week, and the
neatness and convenience of it will pay for haul
ing two or three miles, even if it is of no real
benefit to the animals; and have no doubt that
every load will add one dollar TO the value of
the manure heap.
wish every farmer who reads this, and can
get good clean sawdust by going five miles for
it, would get one load and try it, and if he does
not continue its use would like to hear his rea-
sons. w. K.
