Improved Breed Of Sheen.

Il IS said that the man who makes two
BLADES Of grass to grow, where but one
grew before, is bcnefactor to his race;
and we suppose equally so, is any man
who introduces any improvements into
any of the sources, channels, causes or in
strumentalities Of industry or art, or of
comfort, luxury, or use. In this yiew OF
the case, Mr.. HARMON MARSH is specially
deserving of mention, for his efforts to
introduce into our country the very best
breeds of Sheep which can any where be
found. At our late State Fair. Mr.. Pat
ters0n OF Chata9ue county New York,
had on exhibition some full blood Merino
sheep, which were without rival. Mr..
Marsh obtained promise Of some Of the
same sort, and Immediately went to New
York to procure them. \ few days since
he returned fully successful in his mission.
bringing two bucks with him, one year
ling, and one 10 months old, which cost
him the snug little sum of $500. The
sire of these bucks was brought by Mr.
Patterson from the ROYAL Preserves in
France, and cost him 1900 dollars. We
have before us a pamphlet containing a
portrait OF the animal, under which it is
stated that he yielded 80 lbs. 9 on. of
wool at one shcaring. Tie following
certificate, with many others. is also CON
tanned in the pamphlet, and we deem /.
worth copying:
In 1851. we bought Of j. d. Patterson.
of Westiield, New York, a fuIl-blooded
French McriRo Buck and a fulLblooded
French Meriho Eve, with a Buck lamb,
ten days old, by her side. Tie Buck we
got off Mr.. Patterson. We used to our old
stock of Saxon Ewes, and the lambs of
the first cross produced double the guam

The first fleece from the Buck lamb
bought with theewe was 1919 lbs. ofclean
fine unwashed wool We bred from him
the early part of the first season, and then
sold him TO William Dean and others. of
Green County, Pennsylvania, for $500
whrn he was IL months old. We have
since offered them the same price for him,
but could not buy him for less than $500.

DANGEROUS Nav IGATIoN.-A short time since,
few adventurous gentlemen, known as
"hards," undertook trip up salt river in q
small skiff. They had not proceeded far before
a flaw Of wind capsized the boat, and at the
last accounts the poor "hards" were rapidly
becoming exhausted, with q prospect of their
all being drowned, though from the lightness Of
the material they foated better than might have
been expected. About the same time, party of
"softs' also took it into their heads to proceed
upon voyage in that direction, probably in
search Of the wing party. Their boat did not
upset, but the crew landed in despair, and ty-
ing their handkerchieis to their necks, hung
themselves on a vegetable production hard by,
called Nebraska bush. 1t is evident If these
gentlemen had stayed at home, they would have
avoided these accidents; and If any Of them
should by chance be rescued, it is very likely
they viii remain at home for the balance Of
their lives.

THE HARD SHELLS IN CoNcREss.-Messrs. Maui
rice, Wheeler, Peck, Pechham, and Oliver, who
betrayed their principles by voting against the
Nebraska BILL have been smitten with remorse,
and have given vent to their feelings ofcontri-
ton in small octave pamphlet. Had they been
men of sense, they would have voted for the
bill in the first place; or, at all events, having
foolishly voted against it, they would not have
borrowed arguments from the free sellers to jus
tfy the act. This, however, is what Mesrs.
Maurice, Wheeler, Peck, Peckham and Oliver,
have done. Their justification is rehash of the
abolition arguments against the BILL and is
dreadfuily dull at this stage of the business.
1t will have double effect. As members Of
Congress it will prove them to be men of no
vigor or originality as national democrats, it
will utterly destroy them. Committed to the
same course as Seward and the Van Buren, free
sellers, the national democrats cannot preserve
any sort Of separate party existence. They
become merged with the soft shells, and all
their opposition and clamor against the Van
Buren, free sellers vanishes into air. A heater
suicide than the Eve aforementioned gentle
men have committed we do not remember to
have known.

Spain, Cuba and the United States.-WretchesI
Policy OF the Administration.

The subject of paramount importance now
before. the government and the country, is the
Cuba question; for in the present unsatsfac-
tory relations between the United States and
Spain, in reference to the affairs Of " the ever
faithful island" and its ultimate destiny all
the material interests of the country are con-
cerned The Washington organ Of the Presi-
dent and his Cabinet admonishes US to prepare
for war. Its diatribes from day to day, upon
British duplicity" and Spanish falsehood,"
its belligerent protestations against the Afri-
canization of Cuba, would lead the ignorant to
conclude that war with Spain is inevitable in
the teeth Of an alliance in her behalf, offensive
and defensive, between England and France.
Indeed one Of the outside Cabinet organs fatty
declares that we may expect a war message to
be sent to Congress within very few days, or,
in other words, that negotiations are fore
closed, that forbearance is exhausted, and that
in the settlement of the Cuban question the
ultima ratio regun has been resolved upon by
the administration.
1t is remarkable that, notwithstanding all
this warlike clamor of the administration or
gans, there is no panic in Wall street, and no
belief in the probability of any sudden at
tack by our Home Squadron upon the combined
powers Of Spain, ENGLAND and France. Other
wise, our foreign trade would be depressed.
our domestic business operations and exchanges
would be seriously affected, and there would
be prevailing stagnation in all our great
business and monetary operations internal and
external. But, on the contrary, the money
market is gradually looking up. and stocks are
to-day, upon an average. better than they were
three weeks ago, by three or four per cent.
And the reason Of this is obvious enough. Pub
lie opinion, upon all great questions involving
the alternative of peace or war; as upon all
other questions, is made up from the simple
elements of common sense, observation, expe-
rience, and the consistency of things with each
other. Experience has shown that the present
administration is not warlikc one, BY any
means, but feeble, vacillating, and buster
ing administration. Observation teaches u
that the hue and cry Of the Cabinet organs.
Of war-war-war-is all humbug; and com
mon sense is disgpsted with these absurd vapor-
ings, when taken in connection with the practi-
cal preparations at Washington to put the
country, the army and the navy, upon q war
footing. The good sense of the American peo-
pie is not easily deceived by empty gasconad-
ing, though uttered "by authority" and hence

JOHN mitchell ON THE OTHER TACK.--When
John Mitchell, the Irish patriot, performed his
celebrated acrobatic feat with his parole in Aus
tralia, and fed to this country for refuge, he
was told that the substantial masses of the North
we're at heart conservative and opposed to abo-
lition. Being man little given to search out
the truth for himself, and having moreover an
irresistible itch to set about teaching US The day
after his arrival in our land, Mr.. Mitchell forth
with hoisted the pro-slavery flag, and announced
himself to be, personally, such an admirer OF
slavery in the abstract that he could conceive
no higher possession than a plantation in Ala
bama well stocked with fat negroes. The an
nouncement was not what is called in stage da
lect, "a hit" The abolitionists, Henry Ward
Bcecher at their head, came down in full cry
on poor John; and others, who entertained con-
stitutional objections to Northern interference
with Southern institutions, still disliked so dog
NAUTICAL and fippant an approval of their alb
stract principle. 1t was clear that John would
have had slavery in New York if he could
have been sure of being master and not slave
standing almost alone in this wish, however, it
was hut natural that people should begin to
look askant at him. His paper, which was
started with an enormous subscription list, fell
off, we fancy, even below the paying point;
and the illustrious patriot suddenly found him
self deserted and friendless On he strug-
gled eulogising slavery, laundering about the
constitution, and sinking gradually into gene
raj disrepute and oblivion /: until probably
some more tangible symptom of his folly
than universal contempt made itself manifest.
John resolved to make one more attempt to
save himself and having failed 80 miserably
as pro-slavery advocate, determined to try
the opposite ticket To give an air of manli-
ness to his regeneration, he went South to
recent: and there, at Richmond, on Sa-
turday last, the aspirant for plantation
in Alabama well stocked with fat negroes"
astonished his hearers with a flowing eulogium
on Horace Greeley. He praised his sincerity,
spoke highly of his heart and gave utterance
to well-feigned burst of gratitude for his
kindness. The gentlemen Of Richmond were
too well bred to express what they felt when
Mr. Mitchell returns here, and dement's the
alliance these compliments were intended to
inaugurate they may perhaps exercise less for
bearance. We don't think Mr.. Mitchell will
make much by the change people are too well
acquainted with his reckless folly and empty
conceit to care much about his opinions.
