TEXAS AND SANTA FE.-Victory or
Death.-The information from Santa Fe
that the inhabitants have taken preliminary
steps to organize territorial government,
has caused the-greatest excitement at Aus
tin, Texas. Many were for marching an
armed force thither and putting down the
rebels, as they were termed. The Austin
Gazette advises delay until the receipt OF
the presidents message, and at ali events
that the Texans should not precipitate a
crisis and complicate matters by violence.
1t still reiterates a determination to have
Santa Fe, and says:
"Rather than surrender to the usurpa-
ton of the general government one inch oil
our blood-won territory, let every human
habitation in Santa Fe be levelled to the
earth, and us, if necessity requires 1t, be
buried beneath its ruins"

AGRICULTURAL.
Oh;O'S Position in Agriculture.

OF all the States in the American Union,
Ohio stands first as an Agricultural State.
So entirely inland, and yet having such
abundant means of communication, and so
rich a soil, she necessarily becomes more
devoted 10 agriculture than any other State.
While she is the sixth in the Union for
ship building, and while her navigation is
probably the third in the Union, and
while she has extensive manufactures. yet
it is in agriculture especially that she ex-
hibits her giant strength, and furnishes
food for millions over the world, besides
her own population. There is not river,
lake or ocean, that does not bear the bread
and meat of Ohio TO the hungry masses of
earth's population. All the vast exports
of the United States to Great Britain, in
bread, meat, grain and cheese, scarcely
exceed the surplus crop of this single
State In the following table will be seen
the actual amount as near as can be esti-
mated, of the crop of Ohio, last year, and
the rank Ohio bears to other States as to
that crop. In some of these crops the
product Of this year may be much less
than that of last year, but last years was
not far from an average crop:

but the farmers find their account in it,
How different this is from the careless
and wasteful manner in which things are
managed with us, where | have often seen
horses and oxen standing knee-deep in the
very best hay, which has fallen and been
tossed out of the managers! The conse-
uuence of this extraordinary painstakng
is, the most economical management OF
their products. The animals have aregu-
lar allowance, and are not at one time sur
feited and at another time starved, and not
a handful of hay is wasted.

Hay in England

Is scarcely ever put in barns. II keeps
well in stacks, made up as they are IN the
neatest manner, and carefully matched
with straw. Nothing can be more beautl-
fnl and workmanlike than the manner IN
which they are made up, and for hay the
long stacks are decidedly preferable to
those of round form, as 1t IS cut down
for use in such case to more advantage
'Tbe formation of stack, which is often

is the fruit only of practice: the matching
Of a stack in the best manner requires both

Over fifty millions of dollars was the
value of these crops alone. This was the
total value of the cotton crop OF lS4S.-
Thus the agricultural crop of single
State (Ohio) is worth the whole cotton
crop, of which so much is said and so
much is boasted!
Nor is it all. The cheese exported
from Ohio is worth a million of dollars,
and the wool crop is worth two millions
We need not 60 on with another enumera-
ton of articles, or, exposed facts, like
these. There is no community on the
earth, which gives so fine an illustration
of the advantages of agricultural produc-
ton, in soil adapted to, and developed
under such happy institutions as these
which this, as yet prosperous, State can
furnish. The farmer of Ohio realizes, TO
the utmost, the blessings OF him who lives
under his own vine aud fig tree, and cult
Yates the welfare of his fellow, and the
luxuriant fields he possesses.

POETRY.
IN THE HOUR OF DEATH.

Death in that face What thrilling dream,
From restless sleep my soul awaking,
Tells me that DER that brow the beam
Of Immortality is breaking
Bend thee thy still warm cheek to mine, ere YET
it be
Cold as the marble stone that soon must pillow
Death in those eyes those eyes that oft,
Their shading lashes gently raising,
With looks so earnest, yet so soft,
Responded tony anxious gazing
Look once upon me with those eyes, ere yet the
gem
Of heavens light is set eternal on them.
Death in that voice The wind signs past,
And time upon its wings seems flying;
Hank on the silence round the last,
Last accents of that voice are dying:
Oh that its echoes on the would ever stay
They cease, and music from the earth has passed
away.
Go dearest, from this world for now
The shadows of death are round thee creeping:
There is a seal upon thy brow,
which shows thou art not dead, but sleeping
And with nothing on this lonely earth to love,
Cling closer to the anchor of my soul above.
TSacred Lyrics.
