GENERAL AUGUSTUS G.. DODGE.

t,oop-It is intima,ed that Fitz Henry War

place of A. C. Dodge. Warren is glorious
fellow. and would as much ado,n the place as
Dodge has disgraced it.
We cut this from wing paper-we believe

that such fling at such a man IS Augustus q.
Dodre is equally bad in point OF policy aid
GOOD taste He is too well known, and the
un,ruth of This slang about his disgracing his
place in the Senate is as apparent as its tad
temper Unobstrusive, modest, plain in his
manners, amiable industrious, watchiul over the
Interests Of his country, ever IN his place, the
friend, as we believe, OF every member OF the
Senate, the injustice OF such a paragraph as we
are commenting upon, provoked only by con-
tict of political opinion, is too vagrant to permit
t, I'M ure him any where. More brilliant des
ba ere, more sk,lful political tact,cians, there
NAV be in the Senate; but, seeing him week a.

THE FIRST MAN KILLED.

A young English sailor, on the verge of the
Black Sea, gives an account Of skirmish in
which he was engaged with party OF Russi-
ans, one Of whom he shot. 1t shows how
dreadful is war, how opposed it il to the sens-
bil.t'es Of our nature. In writing home 10 his
friends the generous young sailor said:
1--WE dispersed few hundred yards distance
from the beach, to keep the coast clear while
the boats crew made prizes of the guns. The
enemy had the advantage OF the wood, md also

And long lament Of love,

THE FAIR.

As agriculture and ars are encoura ged, a
prosperity and glory Of a nation, depends much
upon the interest displayed in these pursuits
and the inducements held out by the stat. and
local societies for their promotion. 1t will not
be denied that the predominant fielI,'ofenterprise
in and the great source of wealth of this nation,
IRE to be found in its unexampled agricultural
resources and it will not be denied that the all
ievouring and controlling appetite for speedily
amassing wealth, which pre- eminen,ly distin-
cuisines the American nation, has superinduced
an Indifference to the science Of agriculture and
a cnrelessness and looseness in the management
Of the farm. which is calculated to impoverish
the land and reflect discrrdit upon the intelli
grnce Of those who cultivate il. Tillers of the
soil and growers of stock seem to display lack
of interest and pride in an elevated and scient.
ic system of farming. The earth is titled in an
impert ct mlnner, seed is thrown into the
ground without regard to order and regularity
and the causes for a failure of crops, or the rem
edies to be applied, are seldom looked into. No
man really become successful farmer
who is not familiar with the science IF chemistry
He must acqnaint himself with the proper
ties Of the soil and the influence which these
properties exers upon the different seeds, to in
sure profitable and healthy production.
The organization of agricultural societies and
the premiums offered for the best prntluc tions
Ar. well caIcnIated tn ancouraye taste fol
agricultural science and infuse healthy pride
into our farming com nunity. These organize.
