rhe rarin and the Farmers.

The Albany (New York; Knickerbock-
era Wing paper--rnakes the following
Just observations on the condition OF lar
mers under the present tariff
GREELY AND RAYMoND.--From the nom
sense which we find in the Times and Tn
oune, we should certainly think that
Greeley and Raymond. very seldom went
to market. Touphold their high tsritf
notions, they make use of some Of the
most preposterous arguments to be met
with out Of Bedlam. The Times Of Tues
day insists that the free-trade iniquity of
1915 is gradually impoverishing agrieul-
turalists, converting our farms into thistle
patches, and our planters into paupers.--
The checks with which their statements
are made shows that brass is a metal thai
enters very largely into the composition
,, VI those who believe that " Lowell IS the
centre Of the world, and Massachusetts:
the rest ofit." The Times insists that the
farmers are now being "ruined." Let u
examine the market:
The price of beef during the past sea
SON has been higher than 1t has been be
fore for twenty years. During the tarit
of 1842, pork was put up at Cincinnati
for two and half and three cents a Pounc
it Is now worth four and a half and fiv'
cents. Oats, under the tariff of 1e42
sold at twenty EIGHT cents bushel-las
winter they brought forty cents. Barley
which once sold in our market for fifty
four cents bushel, is now selling in New
York at seventy eight and eighty cents
Poultry, twelve years ago, sold in Alban!
at six and eight cents pound-it nov
sells for ten and twelve cents. Ham
which sold under the tariff of 1842 at pri
ces varying from four to seven dollars I
hundred, is now worth from nine to clever
dollars. With the exception of -four anC
wheat there is not one single article which
our farmers sell that they do not get "firs
rate prices" for and when you take into
consideration the fall which has taker
place in the price of every article which
the agriculturalist buys, tits at least ques
tionable whether the raising of bread
stuffs" is not as profitable to-day as eve
it was. AS we said before, the man VIII
thinks the farmer is being ruined ishoulC
Just hang basket on his arm, and visi
the market An hours experience i
worth all the philosophy that was eve
spun.

ARRIVAL OF LOLA Monies, COUNTESS
OF LANDsFELDT.-Thisw woman, who has
obtained an unenviable notoriety through
out the world, on account of her romantic
disposition and singular conduct, arrived
this morning Friday, upon the hum
boldt, accompanied by her agent. MT
Edward Willis, brother of n. p. Willis
and several servants. She left Paris TO
meet the Humboldt, and travelled by way
of Calias and Dover to London, where she
remained two days to take leave OF her
friends. She stated in conversation with
us that many bad things had been said
of her by the American press. yet she Is
not the woman she has been represented
to be; if she were. her admirers she De-
lieves, would be still more numerous
She has been very lively during the whole
passage, and ishe does not appear TO De
very favorable to Kossuth, whom she
thinks is an austere and distant man.
Lola is not a masculine woman, but
rather slim in her structure; she has q
face of great beauty. and aPsir OF black
Spanish eyes. which fash FIRE when she is
speaking, and make her, with the spark
ling wit of her conversation, a great favo-
rite in company. She has black HAN
which curls in ringlets by the sides of hel
face. and her nose is of q pure Greciar
cast. while her cheek bones are high, and
give Moorish appearance to her face.

Lieutenant Watkins Proposal to
EXPLORE AffiCa,

This young gentleman, native of Vir-
ginia, but who has been for several years
on the African coast, submitted some
months ago to the honorable Secretary OF
the Navy, a proposition to explore the
African rivers which enter the ocean
within the republic of Liberia, in the hope
of making discoveries of great interest to
science, to commerce, and to humanity.
Lieutenant Watkins is intimately acquain-
ted with the settlements and people of Lii
IBERIA, has become in some measure inu-
red to the climate of Africa, has studied
the dispositions and habits of the native
tribes, visited different points along more,
we believe, than two thousand miles of
the coast, and in his self possession, cool,
good judgment, winning manners, as well
as in the ardor of his zeal in the great en-
terprise in which he desires to engage,
we discern the best qualifications for sue
cess. We are grsti6ed to know that his
plan meets with interest and favor among
the high officers of our Government.
Lieutenant Watkins, if authorized to
proceed under the authority of our Gov
eminent. will find many intelligent citi-
zens of Liberia ready to accompany him,
men thoroughly acclimsted, who have al
ready penetrated some two or three hun
dred miles into the interior, and are &C
quainted with many of the principal chiefs
who govern territories bordering on that
Republic. We trust that the views OF
Lieutenant Watkins viii be promptly met
by our government, that he will be aided
by one or more small steamers, and cna-
