sembly, aud purpose as soon as it is
obtained, going at once into active
operation. They desire your eoope-
ration aud support, and would urge
upon you the good policy of fol ming
without further delay, similar Asso-
Citations. Whenever and wherever
organized, they can but result in the
advancement of interest Of be tn the
farmer and mechanic.
Although large proportion OIL
the General Assembly which has
convened in Tennessee, has been
composed of Agriculturists, it is 4
remarkable fact, that Legislators
have, until last winter, steadlastly ig-
nored the best interests Of the tillers
of the soil. Other States, many OF
them younger members Of the con-
federacy, are far in advance Of US in
this respect. Many Of them have
had, for years past, their Afric cultural
Bureaus, their division and county
and district Societies; their annual
state, division, county an d district
fairs, most Of them draw ing direct
pecuhiary aid from their RESPECTIVE
commonwealth. StiIhula ted by the
example Of others, ard am4zed at the
benefits which enured to alp classes of
the community, by encouraging and
rewarding the labQrs of the husband
sman, our last Legislature passed an
act, whidh you have already seen in
the columns of the public press. 1t
is to this act, that they wish to call
your especial attention, with the de-
sire that you may secure, within the
current year, all the benefits which it
tenders you They themselves have
taken advantage Of it. Charters for
other Societies are already before the
Board.
In the month of October next,
they propose holding a Fair near
Nashville They contemplate uni
ting, if possible, and would respect
fully suggest the union Of other coun-
ty societies with the Fair Of the Az
ricultural Bureau and that Of the
Middle Division whereby list off
premiums will be offered which, ih
the aggregate will be large, sufficient
ly SO we trust to induce exhibitors to
attend from all parts of the State.
They doubt not that the assem-
blage will be large, the occasion one
of extraordinary interest, and feel
persuaded that an in mediate and
most decided impetus Will be given
to every department of Agriculture
and the Mechanic Arts that may
there be represented.
After further conference with the
Bureau and the Division Society, they
will issue list of the animals and
articles that they propose making
premiumable.
liz conclusion, they beg leave again
to ask your hearty support and CO.

4 The st. Anthony Express, a new 5.
paper published at st. Paul's, Min
llnesota, says that for several days past
the citizens of that place have been
enjoying the specta cle of a prairie on
fire. When evening sets in, the
whole eastern horizon is belted with
b wall of flame, now shooting heaven
ward in vivid streak ks, and again bend
ing low like reeds before the blast
at one moment it rushes along with
a hoarse roar, tapping up every blade
and twig in its path, and in another
it resembles the camp firos Of tented
host, dotting every knoll and mound.
AS the red flames glare upward, now
deepening, now paling, it far SUI
passes in sublimity and grandeur the
mightiest pyrotechnic efforts Of man.

WASHINGTON, May TO- 1854.

| The imminent danger of war with
Spain cannot bB over estimated. II
lis believed here that before thirty
Idaysiwe vii re ch crisis which will
call for the most urgent measures
We do not believe that Mr. Soule set
out with any Intention of passing
matters TO this extreme, but that the
instructions with which | was armed
were based upon the idea that Spain
would be fright ened into listening to
Epropositi ons for the purchase of Cuba.
/ Private lette rs have been received
here stating that Mr.. SouIe has lost
the good graces Of figkle Queen
of Spain, who is completely in the
hands of her Cabinet. Ms for the
Cabinet, they are represented as the
supple Instruments of England and
France; but not only the purchase of
Cuba, but also the acquiescence of
Spain in the demands 50 strongly
put forth by the United States, seem
further off than ever. On the other
hand, Mr.. Soule has established the
mos t friendly relations with the Queen
Mother, and she Isl as warmly in favor
Of the sale OF Cuba as the Queen and
her ministers are opposed to it
Thu s the matter stands; and as long
as the Spanish Cabinet hold together,
English and French interests will be
in the ascendancy.
y ct it is possible, though scarcely
prob liable, that the affair may be am
icably adjusted. England will doubt
less try to temporize, but flour Gov
ernm ent listens to any such over
tureB after the stand taken, it will be
disgfaced. The only hope that our
peace cable relations will not be dis
turbedlies in the possibility ofSpain's
acceaing to our demands.
There is reason to believe that the
Captain-Generai of Cuba has, before
this, instituted the incipient steps to
the island. The process
to be adopted will be the emancipa-
ton Of all held as Slaves, as appren-
Ices or ,emancipees for a term of
years, scaled according to age and
other circumstances. The holders
will be compensated after the plan
prescribed by the British emancipa- j
ion act of 1885.
1t is believed that the British and
french governments will guarantee
he SD m of twenty-five millions of
ollars necessary to effect this object. i
t appears that many Of the large II
lavehplders of Cuba are British sub Il
ects, and as British laws make it fel- s
ny for their subjects to hold a slave, I
ven inforeign countries, unless these 7
Iaves are claimed by Spaniards, the 7
mount of compensation will, in con- 7
equence, be greatly reduced. !,
1t is anticipated that the Presi- q
emf, in his message to Congress, a
Jay ask for power to blockade Cuba !.

Eating Il Mortgage.

The Portland Adrerfiser Of the
9th ult., tells the following good sto-
ry:
I he law abouud4 in terms appli-
cable to mortgages. Mortgages are
':foreclosed,' ''cancelIed,' lifted"
discharged" &C., b ut we never, I'M
til within d few days, heard of eating
a mortgage, althouah we have often
known mortgages I'd ''eat up the sub
stance" Of those WHIP gave them.
The Park street (Unitarian) So
ciety, in this city. some years ago,
contracted debt in thee purchase of
their organ, f5r which the organ was
lnortgaged to indiv iduals. One Of
the old members once threatened,
that if he lived TO s ee the mortgage
paid, it should be eaten! On Tues
day evening last, at the annual Par,
ish meeting, the P+rish Committee
announced that the mortgage had
been paid, discharg ed, and handed
over to the Commi tItee. The sold
member" referred to, Immediately
rose and moved that it should be
eaten. The motion was carried
without dissenting vote, and the
members Of the Parish forthwith
adjourned to the hou Sc of Jeddediah
Jewett, where the mortgage was
served up, stewed, fried, and scOl-
loped. 1t tasted SO inuch like oys-
tiers, that one could hardly tell the
difference. 1t was the unanimous

corn crop of this country by drouth,
the New York Tribune remarks that
"the distilleries are still devouring
something like one million bushels OF
grain per day, converting the staff Of
life into deadly and crime melting
poison. Dear as food now is, il is
likely TO be dearer, while millions
worth per week is transformed into
the most demoniac and mischief max
ing fluid that ever insuted the bounty
Of heaven. But for this we should
even yet have bread enough, and to
spare, and might pay Europe prompt
ly for all the imports we actually
need. How long shall this fearful
waste and devastation--this sacrifice
of the sustenance of the poor to a
bloodier idol than Moloch-be pro-
tectcd and encouraged by law :" We
really wish the Legislatures Of all
the western States would assemble
and pass a law making it a penal Of
fence TO distil grain Into whiskey un-
al the country RECEIVERS from the short
crops of the present year. Ii might
raise the price Of food. Those who
drink whiskey at the risk of famine.
