From the Bloomsburg Democrat
Letter from Senator Buckalew:
BuEYNos AYRBs, 8. A., |
September %, 1854.

DEAR SIR We arrived here ON the
10th, and intend going up the river in SIX
or eight days. We have both enjoyed
pretty good health thus far, and have had
upon the whole prosperous journey. We
left New York ON the sth of July, in the
steamer Atlantic, arrived at Liverpool on
the 10th, went to London on the oath,
and returned on the 2sth. Left Liverpool
for Rio, August 1st, in screw steamer ship
Brasileira. Stopped at lisbon, Madeira,
St. Vincent, Pernambuco and Bahia, and
arrived at Rio September LIST. We were
there detained until the 18th, and then
came on here, in the steamer Camilla,
stopping by the way at Monte video.
The distance from here to our destination
is 1000 miles by the course Of the river.
70 60 up, discharge and receive cargo and
return here, requires sail vessel from
three to five months. The steamer in
which We 60 up, will require II or Is days
to ascend; will remain at Assumption
about two weeks, and return in Q or 10
days.

Agricultural KNOWLEDGE.

knowledge is something which too
many Of our farmers think unnecessary to
be coupled with agriculture. They think
it only necessary for professional nen,
that farmer has neither need nor business
with it, and it would be wasting time and
money in giving a good education to a
boy intended for farmer Now if Know
ledge is useful to professional man, why
could it not be to farmer! Would not
the latter be as much benefited by it as
the former-and would it not BE- of the
same advantage to him!
The time was when agriculture was
looked upon as something of Title conse-
quence, but that time is past, and it now
ranks among the FIRST of sciences. Its
beauteous noble parts have been slumbcr-
ing in cbscurity yet and We can only sus
tain it In its present position, and raise it
still higher, by acquiring useful knowledge
ourselves, and by educating our children.
For, couple any pursuit with Ignorance
and it sinks-link it with education it will
rise.
1t will nerer do to think that, if a boy
can read in the Testament, scratch litsle
with the pen, and solve few questions in
the Rule of Three, he is sufficiently learned
for farmer. He might crord himself
through the world with that much, if Ma
ture had been liberal with her gifts to
him. But without the "6ckle Danes as
sistance, We think be would make little
progress. But give him a good education,
aud he will 50 through the world respected
and honorcd by it. be benefit to his noble
calling, and au ornament 20 society.

"Bring him here, sir!' exclaimed an
elegantly dressed lady, whose carriage had
been driven just outside of the ring which
encircled the crowd.
"Oh, mamma he is dead! the poor

with tears in her plying blue eyes.
"Just as we'll as if he were," said an
other lady in the carriage. 'It is cruel

We live in an age os Improvement, and
must keep up with the march Of the same.
There arc too many that follow in the foot
steps Of their fore fathers, and think moth
ing can be done well, unless it be perform
ed after the fashion of their ancestors.
Their modes suited their age, no. ours.
Farmers are not alive to their interests as
they should be, and unless knowledge has
more general flow among them, they
must remain behind the age. Many far
mers can not afford to give theft sons
classical educate n, bat they may all give
them good English education they
have it i'll their power to raise the Free
Schools to such grade as to have all the
English branches taught in them. Let
them make their sous acquainted with all
the English branches, and see what diff
erence there will be in the next generations
Of farmers
We should not only attend to the rising
generation, bu: improve ourselves By stu
dying and reading such books and papers
as are calculated to improve US in our noble
pursuit. We spend many hours in indo-
lence aud foolish conversation, which, if
spent with useful books, would be of vast
use to US.
The beauties Of agriculture are to an ig-
norant man as though they we're not,
therefore not appropriated BY him. He lives
and sees the things grow around him-he
knows that if lie plants Certain kind Of
seed that it would grow and produce seed;
but how it grows, and what it feed. upon,
he does not care to inquire.

almost everything around him, and feels

that on the sixth floor, the improved Gas
Stoves exhibited by Andrew Mayer, were
put to the test on Saturday, and the roast

effected in two hours, with the consump-
sion Of only l6 feet of gas, the value Of
which is about three cents. The meat was
pattaken Of by number of persons enjoy
ed. 1t is novelty to witness cooking in
operation at the height of six stories from
the ground. These stoves are improved
over the kind before made by the use OF
two burners, which enables the cook to
carry on boiling and frying at the same
time. Mr. Mayer also has an improved
form Of stoves for warming chambers or
dining rooms, with gas, that commend
them to general use, from the ease with
which they are managed and their freedom
from ashes and cinders.
