Hedge Fences.

Everybody likes to combine ornament
with usefulness, when they are compatible.
Fences are everywhere necessary, but
rail fences can not te said to add any
grace to the features Of the country. Ga
the contrary they are great dlsIgure
ment Wherever we look, they stand
prominent to the vision, rickety and awk-
ward. Every American who visits Eng
land, cxc!aims in admiration Of the beauty
of the landscape there. 1t looks soft,
sheltered, cosy, and garden-like. And the
great point of difference is, that there
everyfeld has border of warm and living
growth The country is not made to look
like scattered wood-pile or lumber yard,
covered with stretches Of dead sticks stand
ing stark and hard in all sorts of posturcs
In this, | repeat, consists the chief diifer-
cuce Oar fields are cultivated as we!l.in
the main, as theirs, and if not, the differ
ence is not conspicuously obvious. But
our houses are mostly bald, and staring,
and less sheltered by shrubbery; and |
think that this additional hard feature
makes up the sum of the difference which
seems to strike every one who has given
US first impressions of visit to England.
Our woodland aud natural scenery we al
ways admired.
There is now very prevalent and eager
desire through our county, to study the
outdoor establishment of dwellings. And
it should be so For here, nearly every
householder sits in his own doorway, and
the land around it is his own possession
and why should less be done to shelter and
to adorn, and to crafty the senses, here,
than in countries where every country res
ident rents his home!
A handsome building, when just finish
ed, and before gardens are laid out or
ward fenced in, looks as if it we're not al
home ITSELF But a neat fence Of any regular
pattern and painted to suit the complexion
Of the building, gives it all the advantage
and grace that handsome face derives
from neat collar, or fine picture from a
suitable frame. In the country there must
be fences also round the gardens, the
fruit lots aud the orchards, and if they are
oil painted or white washed, they glare
upon the eyes anl claim SO much promi-
nence, that the buildings and shrubbery
become quite subordinate in the view.

After some time-usually in few years
they become dilapidated; posts urc
painfully leaning and dragging each other
down rails are fractured and ou. Of place
pales are eaten down by horses; and the
first impression that the eye receives, look
which way it will, is deformiry, for the
fence still obtrudes itself as the main fea-
ture in the view.
Now if there should be grounds Of econ
omy, or convenience, sufficient to eslalish
a preference on the whole for rail fences
around fields, may We not gain important
advantages by using living fences for the
smaller enclosures around the dwelling !

The Cincinnati Fugitive Slave Case.

After an unusually tedious, protracted, and exciting trial the fugitive slave girl, Rosetta, has been finally set at liberty. We make this an- nouncement without feeling, one way or the other. It is foregone conclusion that the rights of the South are no longer to be protected on northern soil; and the sooner we realize this truth, to its full extent, the better. The con- stitution of the United States is compact, which, ever since its adoption, the South has endea- voted most faithfully to keep. Unfortunately we are the only party who seem disposed to sub- mt to and acquiesce in its requirements
 Throughout the whole case the U. 5. Mar shai, Mr. Il. Il. ROBINSON, has performed his duty Tn manner that should elicit the admira' ton ot every friend of law and order. He has subjected himself, by so doing, not only to much personal FISK, but to pecuniary loss, and If the people who live south of the Ohio do not requlte him four hundred fold. then we give up we are unacquainted with their character
 Cincinnati depends for much of her commer- cal, mercantile, and manufacturing prosperity on the patronage of the Southern States If she IS determined, as she seems to be. to submit to the government of a few over- jealous ethio- plans and fanatical abolitonSts; and to broaden the already broad line of demarcaton between us let her not complain of the results The trade of the South will seek out new channels, and her business be done in other places than the "Queen City, Covi,sgton Keatuckaan.

IF The following is from the New York Courier and Enquirer. It shows the character ol all the elections North. The opposition to the administration have one sentiment in com- mcn-they are all a,ai- -Mebruska men. The South understands this:
 ne elections in Connecticut and Rhode Is- lahu complete the entire list of elections for members or congress in the free States. In the last congress these States sent manetY admins tfatlon members and ftyone opposition In the next congress the entire number of administra- uon members elected from the free States is- We believe we do not err in the computation- TWENTYTHREE; the entire number of onnosition members IS ONE HUNDRED AND sIxTFEN Of the administration members, one cornes from Maine, five from New York, one from New Tor sey, five from Pennsy ylvania, two from Indiana hye from Illinois, one from Iowa, one from Wis, consln, and two from California It would he dltlcut to classify the opposition with reference to particular party distinctions. Many were elected as whigs, many as treesoiers, many as luSlon men, and many as know nothings.

and put 1t into the priests; as if he would con- hde the Empress to the ecclesiastic.
 After this the Emperor lost his speech for while, during which time he was engaged ir prayer and crossed himself repeatedly He subsequently regained his voice. and spoke from time to time up to his decease, which took place without struggle, in the presence Of the whole family, March 2d, at ten minutes past noon.
 Almost the last articulate words that the En- peror spoke were-"Dites F,1tz de rester toa.- yours te meme pour la Russie ct de TO pos oasber les paroles de prpa."
 At first the face of the corpse was very much sunk and fallen in, but in the evening the fine features had become more imposing than ever from their repose and regularity
 Up to the present time the Empress has borne this unexpected and fearful blow with wonderful strength
 Yesterday evening she passed an hour entire ly alone with the corpse
 The consternation which overcame every one at the suddenness of this fearful blow is now giving place to the feelings of pain and grief
