We have received the March number Of the South
ern Planter and are pleased observe decided i'm
proyement in its matter. The principal feature OF this
number Mr. Ruilins memorial and report the pro-
per means OF advancing agricultural knowledge. The
editor gives sketch of of the conversational Discus
sons of the Farmers Club, which leads to hope that
Ibis association may useful influence. The SUBJ
iect under consideration the cultivation Of wheat
and gentlemen from different parts of the State descri-
bed the. modes OF culture with which they respec-
lively familiar. We learn from the statement of Mr..
Carter, OF Loudoun, that in that county the average
crop of wheat is twelve bushels to the acre. that clover
and plaster the principal means OF Improvement that
plaster has been used since 1870 and that the lands OF
he county were valued at 81 SO per acre, in 1900 and
at S27 SO in 1850 How much valuable information
would be gained if the experience OF each county in
the State could thus be made known.

The i" Natural AlLLieS,"

The Jackson Mississippian, the most vigorous
organ Of the Southern Democracy amongst our
exchanges, thus discaims for the future all conf
men with Southern feelings" whose praises used
to be sung in so many syren songs:
| The time was, when we could, with truth anG can
dor, and with pride proclaim to the Southern people
that, there was party at the North who STAN
ding up tor our rights; but that time has passed a.
way. The claration OF Mr.. Webster was correct.
The Northern Wings were the first to put the ball in
motion but the anil-s avery spirit has swallowed up
| every thing else, and Democrats well as Wings,
alike burning incense upon its altar 1t is the con-
| trolling influence in the North No man who has
shown the least tolerance towards the South Is per.
United continue in political life. In New York, the
Wings made the greatest concessions to Abolitions,
and consequently carried the guber material election,
and secured majority in the Legislature, but the De-
mocras would not even pay Mr.: Dickinson the re-
spect oil casting their votes tor him. de wasindgnanty
cast aside by his party. And to render their dsappro
val of his course the apparent they cast their votes
for John Dix, who while his colleague in the Senate,
pursued course dramatically the opposite OF his
John A. Dix, the champion ofthe deesed and dam
gerous faction known as Barnburners, whose sbboeth
Is opposition to slavery.
We do not admit that the Northern Democratic
party was ever entitled to the praise, which, for
consistency's sake, the Mississippian says it de-
served in past times. Instead of "standing up for
our rights it was ever the policy of that party to
contrve some indefinite form of speech as ma
lonal platform, which Northern men might con-
strue one way and Southern men another. The
truth is, that both parties, in the North, have
strven to secure Abolition support, and both will
as long as the present organization is maintain
ed.
We beg Democratic readers in Virginia parli-
cularly to note what the Mississippan says of the
treatment received by Senator Dickinson from his
party in the New York Legislature.

A SMALL MIsTAKEAN OFFICER IN A DILEMMA
Amongst the negroes ordered to be punished Monday
by the Mayor, for petty offences, porter employ
ed in 18th street. His Honour had adjudee
the fellow gully ola trivial offence and had directed
the Officer give him Fifteen" stripes by way of
membrancer ofthe good things yet in store for him. On
arriving at the place OF punishment, the officer forgot
the exact number OF stripes allotted to his prisoner, and
determining to be the side opposite to Mercy, why he
gave him "thirty -nine!" The owner ofthe slave will

LAYING THE TRAcK.-We notice that the rails
are being laid Oh the extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad west of Cumberland. The plan
adopted by the Company is to carry the rails on
the track as it is laid, and thus deliver them as
wanted along the line. In this way some four or
five miles have been finished, and already has the
steam whistle been heard in the valley OF the poto-
mac above Cumberland.

We think it due to the officers of the James
River and kanawha Company to publish the mi
Aority report from the committee appointed to
isveslgae certain charges against its administra-
ton. The majority report, it will be remembered
represented that the committee had not time to
prosecute the investigation, and recommended
the appointment of a special committee to dis
charge the duty during the recess of the Legisla-
ture. From various votes of the House of Dele
gates, since these reports were submitted, it has
been evident that the views of the minority of the
committee We're sanctioned by a very large MAORI
ty of the House. The reader will observe that
the Executive committee OF the Board of Direc-
tors took prompt measures to tender the commit
tee every possible facility for conducting their
examination; and the Chief Engineer, whose Off
cia conduct had been specially impugned, adj
dressed the Chairman of the commit &c an urgent
appeal that .the charges brought against him
might be fully and speedily investigated The
committee thought proper 10 decline the perfor-
nance of the duty con6ded to it, And thus the
whole matter has fallen TO the ground

ENHANCEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
u The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by resolution of
that body, " to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium OF five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses Of Congress, !"
according invite such plans and estimates, TO be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next.
1t is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east of the building
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise OF
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference TO and correspondence with
the present building as to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve to them
selves the right to divide npportion, according

may in part be adopted, according to the relative

news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry
HUGH r. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed to make it equal TO any Weekly
sheet in the Union for it's general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virginians, aud they hope to merit and re-
ceve the encouragement Of their felIowctizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights il defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremtting, and far their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
SO IL to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
