PROGRESS OF THE NEBRASKA QUESTION

Correspondence Of The n. Y. Tribune
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, March 7, 1854.
That the Nebraska bill is party measure, that the
President is urging it personally in strenuous man
per that no stone is LEFT unturned to make the party
unit on the question entirely true But tbs, GER
tain Democratic members resist the pressure brought
to bear on them, maintain their independence, and
thus incur the hostility of the Administration and the
implacable enmty of the Nebraska leaders Is also
true Among the gentlemen who do 50 resist are TWO
of the New Hampshire members, as we have before
stated The measure is so atrocious that not even
the Democratic members of the Presidents Own state
can be brought to support it. And this ought TO be
good reason why New Hampshire herself should re-
nudate II. Doubtless the State would do So as well
as every other free State if the issue were made dis
tne,ly The Boston atlas viii find that the sequel
will fully Justify our statement which il has undertaken
TO contradict
The secret hostility to the bill is wide in the House,
and embraces leading Democrats northern and south
ern. We do not name them because the melancholy
f.s, exist. that men DO not follow their convictions

AGRIcULTURE IN CHILI.-Geo. B.

Taiso, IN an interesting letter to the
Cleveiand Herald, speaks thus of
the condition Of Agriculture:
Agriculture is carried on here in a
very primitive state. Farmers use
the crooked stick for a pillow, though
! enc day saw some small Ruggles
d. Mason's plows landed with lew
poor iannlng-mills. In getting out
wheat they thresh with horses, and
throw il in the air TO clear the chaif.
A drag is thing unknown, aud one
being furnished on a hacienda, the
peon was found with the drag upside
down, and he sitting among the teeth
riding. An English cart, which had
been furnished, was returned, the
workman saying, {" il went too fast
Tor bis oxen" They yoke the oxen
afier the old Spanish fashion viz. /:
q straight stuck about seven feet long
strapped round the horns. Their
oxen are generally fine, long-bodied,
straight animals. The drivers walk
in front when driving, and when they
want them to go ahead, punch back
with a long cane pole, with an iron
point in The end. Going down hui,
one yoke Of oxen is put on behind
10 hold back.
