Inauguration OF Governor Lowe.

Yesterday being the day appointed by the
constitution of Maryland for the Inauguration
OF the Governor of that State, the Hon. f..
LOUIS Lowe, Governor elect, was duly in
stalled into office at Annapolis by taking the
prescribed oath; after which he delivered his
inaugural address. Governor Lowe stated that
In contemplation of the amended constitution,
he was inaugurated solely by and in the pres
ence of the Chancellor, which would perhaps
render Inappropriate any generalization of the
Legislative policy which he regarded as most
conducive to the interests of the State. He
descanted at some length on the subject of
the conventional reform which is now being
matured in Maryland. The concluding portion
of his address is devoted to the late adjustment
of national affairs, In which he declares that
Maryland will stand true to the Constitution,
and that with the blessing of God, she will
preserve her conscience untarnished by the
crime of high treason to the cause of humanity

Agricultural Chemist,

We notice that DR.. HIGGINs, the State Ag-
riculturist of Maryland, advertises in the San,
of Baltimore, that he has permanently located
laboratory in that city for the analyzation OF
soils, SC. He gives every direction necessary
for selecting and forwarding soils to him, and
will also visit the various districts, and lee
ture, as heretofore, upon agricultural chemis-
try. We mention the fact principally for the
information of such of our readers as may re-
side or have farms in the adjoining counties OF
Maryland, or indeed, anywhere in that State
We take occasion to observe, however, that the
Office of State Agrlculturlst is one of the great
est Improvements of modern civilization. BY
means of it the farmer is enabled, at the small
est expense, to render his land most productive
and turn it TO the best account of which it is
susceptible, according to its constituent ele-
ments and peculiar chemical properties. Every
State and Territory, therefore, should have a
State Agriculturist-not excepting our own
little fragment of the original ten miles square

Simon Cameron

The Pennsytranian, the organ of the Hun
ker Democracy in Philadelphia at the conclu-
sion Of an article of a column in opposition to
the election of General CAMERON as a United
States Senator, says:
" If the result is his election. by combination of
the Wings and Democrats, shall at least have
the satisfaction to know that labored honestly
prevent it."
To which we may add, that we are as much
opposed to the election of this individual as the
Pennsylranian possibly can be, and pity the ia
tuity of any Wing who will vote for him.
