LETTER FROM SENATOR CHASE TO KOS
SUTH,
SENATE CHAMBER, WASHINGTON,
June %. 1854.

DEAR SIR: | have received, at the instance of Mr.
Sanders, presume, some copies of letter which
he addressed to you and others, representatives
of Rcpubicanisin in Europe, and your reply, dated
the Sd Of this month.
As an American, devoted to the democratic prin-
cipc, and warmly attached to the great cause of
universal liberty, feel compelled to express to YOU
my regret that Mr.. Sanders has attempted to place
you, as we'll as other eminent defenders of popular
rights, in an attitude of indifference toward the
grave and important struggle now going on in this
country between Liberty and Slavery.
The partisans Of despotism are of the same stamp
throughout the world. lie who defends Slavery
in America cannot be the true friend of Liberty in
Europe His shout for liberty is the shout of hy-
pocrisy which seeks either license or privilege.
Is Mr.. Sanders ignorant that his relations with
the party of liberty in the Old World have exposed
him to the distrust of the defenders of Slavery in
the New? 1t might be supposed that recent events
would have suggested this idea to him.
Rely upon it, Sir, that if America could ever
stand forth before the world as that magnanimous
power which you have called upon her to become,
She could only do so when Slavery had ceased to
control the action of the National Legislature, and
the spirit of justice, and of wise, ardent, courage
Gus and impartial liberty had been inauguratcd ms
the vital principle of her national administration
am, Sir with feelings of the highest respect,
S. p. CHASE.

How TO KEEP GATHERED FRUIT AND Flow
ERs ALWAYS FREsH.-A friend has just in
formed us, that fruit and flowers may be pre-
served from decay and fading, by immers-
ing them in a solution of gum-a arabic in water
two or three times, waiting sufficient time
between each immersion to allow to dry
This process covers the surface Of the fruit
with a thin coating of the gum, which is en-
tirely impervious to the air, and thus prevents
the decay of the fruit, or the whitening Of the
flower Our friend has roses thus preserved
which have all the beauty Of freshly plucked
ones, though they have been separated from
the parent stem since June last. To insure
success in experiments Of this kind, it should
be borne in mind that the whole SURFACE must
be completely covered forifthe air only gains
entrance at pin-hole, the labor will be lost.
In preserving specimens Of fruit. particular
care should be taken to cover the stem, end
and all, with the gum. A good way is to
wind thread of silk about the stem, and then
sink it slowly in the solution, which should
not be so strong as to leave a particle Of the
gum undisso1ved. The gum is SO perfectly
transparent, thatyou can with difficulty detect
its presence, except by the touch. Here we
have another simple method of fixing the
feeting beauty of nature, and surrounding
ourselves ever with those objects which do
most elevate the mind, refine the taste, and
purify the heart Country gentlemen.

A WESTERN FARM.-ln the New England
and Middle States, a farm Of two or three hun
dred acres is considered no small affair, and its
owner is looked upon as occupying an envia-
Bile position upon the ladder Of fortune. ''Out
west'' the same quantity of land is regarded
as Hno great shakes''-a section constituting
an ordinary sized farm. A little the biggest
farm, however, which we have ever heard of,
even in the west, is one located in Illinois,
owned by Jacob Strawn, which is thus referr-
ed to by a correspondent Of the Chicago Dem
ocratic Press
IF objects vast and sublime, can excite the
mind, certainly these emotions can be awak-
ened in looking over his homestead of ten
thousand acres, and in gazing upon herds, far
more numerous than that herdsmans of old.
job had thousand oxen, but | was told that
probably no one knew how many cattle Js-
cob Strawn has. A gentleman well acqnaint-
ed with him, told me it was doubtful whether
he knew himself l hear various stories as to
the number of acres of corn he had this year.
l will give the smallest number named it is
sevesteen hundred. The gentleman who in
formed me, said that he bought six hundred
acres, as he feared that he had not enough to
keep his stock till corn should grow again.
Ttoenty-tlsree hundred acres OF corn is quite "a
patch. What say you to this, We farmers of
New Englands This at forty bushels per
acre, low average yield for the last season,
gives ntnety-ttoo thousand bushels. The corn
fed to cattle is not husked, but cut up and
fed to them in the stalks. l was told of
another farm owned by the same man, which
is six miles long and four broad. Last year
he paid out ten thousand dollars for fencing
materials. He has also large tracts of unim-
proved land.
