MEMORIAL.

To Nh. Senate and House of Representatives. qfthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 18th Of September. 1850. that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that they do not expect or des're TO reside on tho
land thus granted; that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an anluaI
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriaiists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assune e'
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act tor themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be 80 modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.

farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting
haying, harvesting, &c, &C., the various domes
TIC animals in their highest perfection; in short

Although these works are distinguished by tn

them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class

Wool Market.

We notice that the Eastern Wool dealers are
making most strenuous and actiy. exertons to
keep down the price of wool. They have in the
/ first place been busy for some time past in pub.
fishing statements TO the effect that there has
been an immense increase ia the production OF
the article when the facts are that there has
rather been decline In all the Western states
! from various causcs-severity of winter, hirh
prices Of meats East causing sheep to be slauph
tered dc-iherc has no doubt been very great
decrease IN the production Of the staple while
the decrease in the continent Of Europe, australia
&c, is a notorious fact proclaimed daily in the
English papers. The Only increase to be looked
for with any kind Of certainty then is from South
America and this cannot be so extensive as to
make up for declension elsewhere.
The spectators however, failing in their at
I lempts to dep,vciate prices by misrepresenta-
I tionS are now resortng TO another mode. They
have got up circulars which are ndustIously cir.
cuated among the wool growers Of the west in
which it is stated that wool at the West must
range at prices this season at from 90 to SO cents
per pound. They pipe too low an extreme
rlgor always has the effect to arm every thing
against 1t. Intelligent wool growers know that
last year here existed an unhealthy excitement
IN the market, and they are wiling to submit to
prices per cent less than what was ludiconsly
pad them. But put 1t ut prices ut which there
woud be positive loss to the producer, and he
Will not submit without desperate struggle.
One OF the means to compel the producer to
submit to the specula,ors' exactons is threat
that manufacturers had rather stop their mills
Tor season and let the stock OF fabrics m the
market he Cleared out, and let wool accumulate,
than to pay unrernunera'ing prices for the new
chp Another IS that some OF the large buyers,
embracing some parties that CONTRIBUTED more
than any others last year to cause wool to rale
at such extraordinary prces-are ieiIy snppIied
rom Their old purchases to run Their ml's until
October and Will not go INTO the market tor new
supplies until that ''me' and then not togo as last
year, among the growers Another Is 'hai buyers
