that the time graciously allowed by The majori-
ty for the discussion, is far from being sufficient
else why would members sit until midnight to
make speeches to empty halls, in order that they
may get the desired opportunity ere II O'Clock
on Saturday, when the debate is to be closed.
Mr. Banks, of Mass, opened the day with a
strong, decided, out and out speech against the
Nebraska bill. There is no doubt of the hon
esty and earnestness of his opposition to that
measure, and l would not be understood as ex-
pressing any such doubt, in my letter on Mon
day night commenting on the serious if not fa-
tai error which Mr. Banks and others committed
in deserving the great body of the Anti-Nebras-
ka men in their struggle against the majority.

The bill as it passed the House Is the
same that previously passed the Senate, with
the exception, of the CLAYTON amendment, pre-
venting unnaturalized citizens from aioying
the right to vote in the Territories that amend
ment having been stricken out in accordance
with the example furnished in the bill erecting
Territories of Washington, Utah, am New
Mexico. The speedy passage of the bill in the
Senate, as it has been amended in the House, is
confidently anticipated.
1t may be of interest to learn that upwards
of enc hundred and twenry-eight set speeches
have been made in both branches of Congress
on this subject. Of those, twenty-eight were
delivered in the Senate, and one hundred in the
House of Representatives.

I have observed that you
generally have something good in your paper
on the subject Of farming, and also that you
have invited the farmers to occupy your col
ufnns on subjects pertaining to their ,occupa-
tions-and it has set me to thinking; and l
am of opinion that if every farmer in Rcane
County, or in 20 miles Of Loudon, who has
any useful information, or experience not gen.
orally known by his brother farmers-and who
could write it out so as to be understood by
the rest of us land most of them could do it if
thev woud) that our stock of knowledge would
be very greatly increased. One could impart
valuable information on one, subject, and an
other on some other subject, and almost every
man of them on some subject; and if In itself
it is small matter, this should be no excuse
for not making it public, or common property.
Why sirs there is no telling the aggregate a
mount of good that might be done by some
one making known a single useful discovery IN
the science or art of our noble calling, or, by
imparting any useful knowledge not generally
known that he may have acquired by observa-
ton, or experience.
1t has been said and truly too, that a man
would be benefaetor to his race who could
make two blades of grass grow where only one
grew before-are there not great many far
mers among us who could instruct their neigh
bors how they may increase the product OF
some one or more of their crops, on given
quantity of land without any increase OF labor
or expense? have no doubt such is the case,
in fact, think each and every one of us, might
and aught to learn great deal more from each
other than we do about how to raise crops and
to harvest them and to preserve them until sold
or con sumed-Ur they might learn an easier
or better way to do some of the endless jobs,
or kind ofwork to be done on farm-or some
thing on the management of stock, or poultry,
or bees &c. &C., and l believe it is both our
duty and privilege to learn all these and many
more things-and l believe too, that if we had
an Agricultural Society in successful operation,
it would not be long, till we might have an
Agricultural paper published in the County

enough among us to have and to sustain these
two things, that the improvement in farming
that will follow, will astonish ourselves.
will now close this hasty scroll by saying
that if thought it would be worth any thing to

fond of it, would tell them next week Through
