The FOURTH OF July AT PoRTsMoUTH.-We
devote large portion Of our space to-day to q
report from our special correspondent at Ports
mouth, giving an account Of the celebration of
the Fourth Of July in that old and beautiful
city The occasion was one of more than usual
interest, from the fact that general invitation
had been extended to all her sons who had emil
grated to this city, Boston, and other parts of
the Union within the last ten or twenty years.
About thousand of her native and adopted
children returned to spend the day amid the
scenes of their childhood, and join with their
relatives and friends in the general rejoicing
and festivities incident to the occasion. They
were received by the Mayor and Common Coun-
Gil, as the guests Of the city; and during their
visit were treated with hospitality which
shows that the people Of New Hampshire. ma
terial as they may be considered, are generous
with their means, and know how to treat their
friends The men Of Portsmouth have always
been true hearted and sincere and their charac-
ter for self devotion to their country has been
proved on many well fought field. The wo-
men are as fair as the most beautiful daughters
Of the republic, as accomplished and pure
minded. Altogether we know Of no city in the
Union which in proportion to its size and popu-
lation, can surpass Portsmouth

democratic party especially. A class Of people
who call themselves ''working-men," to avoid
the odium attached to their real name Of COM
munists, and who start with the announcement
that AL men are created equal" including of
course men of talent and idiots, have held .
convention at Wilmington, Delaware, in which
several very admirable and comprehensive
plans for regenerating mankind, were probably
discussed On the same day the New York
ladies, who are-the dear creatures-the best
dancers and the neatest "dressers" in the
world, tortured their sweet faces over rules and
resolutions at Woman's State Temperance
Convention at Rochester, at which the "bowp
was "wreathed" with nettles instead of flow
ers and formal sentence OF divorce between
the old couple women and wine" was duly
pronounced. This was followed by similar
convention, at which the use of 'inexpressi-
bles" was not ground of exclusion; it was, in
fact, the sixth annual convention of the
New York State Temperance Society. Fol-
lowing these two comes, on the 9th of
September next, Worlds Temperance Con-
vention, at which all those who are disposed
to curtail the enjoyments of life and tyrannize
over their neighbOrs, are respectfully invited to
be present Tyrants from all quarters of the globe
will be welcome; neither race, nor color, nor
antecedents are ground of objection; the only
qualification required is that each delegate
,hould solemnly aver his desire to violate the
natural rights of his fellow men, and set up his
mode Of thinking as a universal standard. In
roper proximity to this convention, we shall
ave another at Cleveland, Ohio. for the discus
sion of woman's rights. At this latter, formal
protests will be entered in the sight of heaven
themselves the exclusive enjoyment of pants;
and the universal adaptability of the garment
will be eloquently proven. 1t will be shown
that women were intended to be blacksmiths and
stage drivers; that they are admirably suited
for the police force. and that the monopoly of
the bar, the pulpit, and the scalpel by men is an
unjusti6able usurpation. These are but few
Of the conventions which have met, or will
meet, during the year. ClergYmen and anti
Bible men. doctors and editors politicians and
place-hunters merchants and mechanics, all
have had or will have, their solemn conventions.
On the whole the practice is good one.
Though the term has been stript of its terrors
and the great bulk of the conventions adjourn
without adding mite to the repository Of
human knowledge, some few do earn title to
gratitude, and achieve what would have been
impossible feats for the members to perform sim
ely. They are, in short, practical illustration
of the old adage about multitude Of counsel
lors." As such, we regard them as one Of those
customs which are eminently sensible and pecu-
liar to this country.

Santa Anna are bAvolved in mystery. He may
be paving the Way for the proclamation Of an
empre-he may be preparing for the transfer
Of the republic. to its ancient allegiance as
of Spain. All that we know is,
that his enmity to the United States Of the
North is not appeased-that he is upon very
suspicious footing of military and naval CO
operation with General Canedo; and that he is
solemnly pledged not to surrender another
square inch of the sacred soil of Mexico to the
atrocious Yankees" But General Almonte,
may be the messenger Of peace, or the emissary
of war. He has yet to open his budget of
grievances, and we must be content to give
the Premier the first hearing. The late inter-
national fandango, got up by Gov. Trias, in
honor of our commanding officer at Ell Paso, near
the dispute territory. may be q harbinger of
peace; but Almonte, on previous occasion like
this returned home, the herald of q casus 6eii,
and the war of '46 ensued.
To conclude. While we think we can foresee
the pacifcation of the fishery question in another
brilliant ball at Halifax, and in q treaty, our
relations with Spain, Cuba, and Mexico are
darkly involved in clouds, with occasional
flashes of lightning. and rolling sound, like
that Of distant thunder along the horizon. 1t
iswith Secretary Marcy to secure us peace, or
to plunge us headlong into a general war. Let
him stand fast to the Monroe doctrine and
manifest destiny" and God defend the right.
Our Premier has fine field before him. He
NAV win new pair of breeches, or he may lose
his old ones, patch and all. The world awaits
the final issue. The fishery question lies in a
genial latitude for the season; but Spain and
Mexico are hot work for July. 1t is peace or
war. The democratic party count upon bold,
positive, Ameri can policy in our foreign affairs,
by Gen. Pierce. He has promised it, and we
may expect it at all hazards. We are on the
very verge Of perhaps the greatest events of the
age.

We are still in expectation of seing Turkish COLLEGE

New York Crystal Palace During the visit Of the agent
Of the Association Colonel Hughes in London the Turk
ish Minister assured the United States Minister that the
Sublime Porte had resolved to send products Of the Otto
man Empire by special war steamer TO the exhibition
OF New York, and this resolution was notified to Mr..
Eudchek in London and BY him to the directors at New
York Nothing to the contrary has yet been heard and
have doubt the Exhibition Will be able 10 add to it's
catalogue the Ottoman contributions IN . very abort

In regard to the Japanese contributions Colonel
Hughes, when at the Hague, succeeded In making ar
rangements for sending over very respectable coec.
ton of products and articles of curiosity from Japan
The collection would have been more full and complete
had the commissioner arrived months earlier; but
owing to the interrogation of Prince Albert norton of
it had been promised to the Dublin exhibition The con-
tributons which have been secured, however, are Of
much value, and win be regarded with great interest
They are to be brought in Dutch sxygun ship Of

the treatment Of soils glimmers. Many
years elapse without sny material change;
but some day lin 1881 as nearly as can be
guessed) it is proposed that instead of John bet
ting peck Of meal with Thomas, and Peter
load of hay with Paul, they shall all contribute
something to a general sweepstakes, and the
best man shall win the lump. The idea is hit.
Everybody enters his name, and the first agri-
cultural society is formed Now, we find in the
record learned discussions on the mode of treat
ing earths, and ingenious improvements in tools.
Shocks, who won the first prize, is invaded by
his neighbors, and his process of working his
farm carefully studied. Next year there is OBJ
vious progress, Ideas are borrowed on every
side, and added to the general stock for the
common benefit. The example is followed by
the neighboring village, and gradually extends
and not unmanly emulation provoke challenge
from one village or settlement to another; and
so begin county agricultural fairs. Practical
agriculture receives fresh stimulus. Jackson
county then puts its farms against those Of
Thomson county, and the whole country is
drawn into the contest. Hence the first national
agricultural show. At this stage the record
shows us the astute application of science to
agriculture. Botany, chemistry, mechanics.
hydraulics, and almost every branch of physics
are brought to bear on the subject Chairs of
agriculture are established in colleges, and men
of letters and education do not disdain to
study the plough. We are approaching the
end Of our tale. A prince suggests gen.
eral sweepstakes between all the producers
and manufacturers of the world. The idea
is enthusiastically adopted, and triumphant
ly executed. limitations spring up in half
q dozen places at once. Territorial distinc-
lions are effaced, and national jealousies laid
aside. Worlds Fairs are the order of the day.
Here, space and words would fail us, were we
to attempt description Of the state Of agricul-
ture. Those who can recollect what farm was
only forty years ago. and will compare it with
it's live stock, implements and machinery, to one
of our model farms of to-day, will readily un-
derstand our silence.
An interesting history, that Of the farm-from
the first solitary tenant of some shady dell, to
the proud contributor to the Worlds Fair. It
remains to be written. The task will obviously
devolve upon an American.

Philadelphia, Dec 10, 1858.
Business at this season is at about its low.
est sbb in this city, except among the fancy
stores, jewellers and confeclioners, whe are
all making ready for the holidays. We, in
the country, have no conception Of the amount
of money expended here for holiday Gifts -
The custom, if not carried 10 excess, is a
laudable one, and is no doub, productive Of
good in promoting acts OF beRevoence and
social intercourse among friends.
The subject Of the subscription Of Two
millions Of dollars 20 the stock of The Sunbury
and Erie rail road, by the City authorities,
came up before the City Codncils on Thurs
day evening last In company with several
of our Eric friends, was present a, the
councils of the "Ci,y Fathers" as they are
sometimes called. Like the Councils Of our
own Borough, | discovered that :he young
folks in the Councils were quite numerous.
A letter from Mr., Tucker, President pro.
tenn. OF The Sunbury and Erie rail road, was
read, stating tha, in March last the Councils
had passed resolution subscribing two mil
lions of dollars 10 the Suubury and Erie rail
road, which subscription was subsequently,
suspended, until board of directors was
elected, more in accordance with the wishes
OF the Councils. MIR Tucker stated that all
the members Of the board were prepared ic
resign: as soon as others were selected to
take their place. A committee Of FIVE, from
each Council, were appointed 10 take charge
Of the matter and report at the next meeting
which meetings are held every two weeks
The committees appointed were both favora
bic 10 the measure. In the common Counci
the committee was unanimous, and in the
select, there are at least three of the fou
in favor Of The subscription. All the busi.
ness men are decidedly in favor of il, and o
its ultimate adoption, by the Councils, hav,
no doubt. The committee, will, no doubt
after recommending the subscription, alst
name board Of directors and officers.
The rail road war at Erie, has caused
good deal of feeling and good deal Of mis-
representation, in regard TO the proceeding
al Erie, in tearing up the track and iakin;
down the bridges of the Erie and North Eas
road, passing through Erie. There is n,
question that the Erie people have the rig h
on their side. II rsvolvss itself into ,h
simple question whether the guaee shoul,
be broken at Erie or Buffalo, as it mus, b.
al one or The other place. And as the Com
pany had originally agreed iha, it should b
at Erie, they are determined 10 hold on an
protect their rights.
