THE Potato RoT.-H Penoyer of
Union county, ILL.,, writes to the st.
Louis Republican that he has found a
perfect cure and preventive of the
potato rot, and which also "restores
the potato to its primative vigor, aud
the product is not only sound but dou-
Jle the size, consequently producing
twice the quantity, on the ground, and
the vines grow much larger, and re-
tain their freshness and vitality until
the frost kills them," The remedy is
as follows -
Take one peck of fine salt and mix
it thoroughly with half a bushel Of
Nova Scotia plaster or gypsum, (thc
plaster is the best) and Immediately
after hoeing the potatoes the second
time, or just as the young potato be-
gins to set, sprinkle on the main vines
next to the ground, table spoon full
of the mixture to each hill, and be
sure to get it on the main vines, as il
Is found that the rot proceeds from 9
sting of an insect in the vine, and thu
mixture coming in contact with thu
vine, kills the effect of it, before j
reaches the potato.

We regret TO learn the decease Of Sears c.
Walker, Esq, the eminent Astronomer and
Mathematician, which took place at the house
of his brother, Judge Walker near Cincinnati,
on the Both of January. For several years he
has been connected with the Coast Survey If
the United States, and in charge of the opera
tons for determining differences of longitude
by telegraph, and Of the discussions Of astro-
nomcal observations for longitude. He has con-
tributed to the Smithsonian contributions. and
to the American Nautical Almanac, an ephem-
eris of the newly Undiscovered planet Neptune,
which has been received with admiration by
astronomers both at home and abroad While
in connection with the National Observatory.
he took q leading part in the discussions which
followed the discovery OF that planet and he
was thus induced TO grapple early with the
difficulties of the entire problem, and led to CON-
pete success. His place among our scientific
men is one which must long remain vacant.
won by the untirng devotion of well-trained
intellect Of high order to the highest pur-

Resolutions were adopted, among them the

Resolved, That the Free Democratic party
Of the United States are not en- ephemeral
party; that they are fixed fact; that they
have come out of the late canvass purified, as
gold tried in the fire; that we have got clear
of entangling alliances; that we will not abuse
any man as the old parties have abused Martin
Van Buren,, and called him a viper, and heap
ed on him all the mean epithets in their vocab-
uary; we regret the course he has taken, but
We can well spare all who vote for revenge.
ReSo.ued, That We are encouraged by the
fact that Hale and Julian received several hun
bred votes in the slave States; and that the
editors of the Free Democracy are in good spir-
its; and in the field powerful host TO do bat

A paper written by Professor Booth, of
Philadelphia, on the inadequacy and inability
of chemical analyses of soils in the present
state of the science, was read
Professor Napes hoped it would not be
placed among the transactions of the Society,
as he totally differed with its able and learned
author on the subject, and believed he could sue
cessfully disprove his every position. There
was evideRce on every hand, both in England
and America, that chemical analyses had done
the greatest amount Of good to agriculture.
1t subsequently appeared that the paper was
read without the knowledge of Professor
Booth, and it was subsequently withdrawn.
Many members favored the appointment of a
committee to report on the subject of analyses
of soils at future day, but no formal PROPOSE
ton was adopted on the subject.
The following resolution, from Ben perley
Poore, Esq, was passed mem con.
Resolved, That a circular, in the name of the
Society, be addressed by the Corresponding
Secretary TO the various Agricultural Boards
and Societies in this Republic and in other
lands, requesting, if convenient copies of their
reports already published, with an exchange
of future publications.
The Treasurer's report was then handed in.
On the meeting of the Society on Wednesday
morning there was 8 so SO to the credit of the
Society since then this had raised 81, 800 90,
which was their present wealth.
The arguments urged in favor of Depart
ment of Agriculture are such as will commend
themselves TO the farming interest. It's doubt
less desirable that the various improvements in
Agriculture, which are at present ditfused
through certain States by means of State fairs
should be more generally made known. No
one will doubt but that the average crops of the
United States may be largely increased by
means of judicious tillage and whatever tends
to secure that result is public benefit. The
United States Agricultural Society held its
first anniversary meeting under favorable aus
pieces, and bids fair to commend itself to public
favor and conf dence.
Any one can become member, by paying
two dollars annually, which will entitle him
to a copy of each of the publications of the
Society or a life-member, by paying twenty
five dollars
