u PRoPosAL TO ExpEL Russia FROM THE

opportunity to drive the Russians from tber

tered into a league with the Russian author
tiles, and guaranteed to them the unmolesttd
possession Of their territory upon this conti-
nent. while the war shall last, upon condition
that the ports and trading Operations Of the
former in the nciShborhood of that territory
shall continue free from attack. The Gazette
objects to such an arrangement, and declares
the home government to be uulaithful 10 its
Obligations if it allows the interests of a pri-
ynte trading company to stand in the way Of
acquisitions so desirable and 50 clearly with
in Its reach 1t declares that it is Of the

Successful Culture of the japanese Pota-

toe, in his garden. lie first planted them in
May, We believe, in pots in ms hOt-house.
They grew rapidly, and, rs soon as warm
weather set in, he transferred them TO his
garden in the open air. Here they fourished
and spread during the summer, and gave iu-
dicatiun that the h)rst should reap a harvest
Mr.. Boil had between twenty and thirty
roots in the ground. During the first week
in October he concluded his Dioscor.as were
quite large enough, and 80 he dug them up.
70 his great delight, he found that some OF
them were two feet long, ana all had grown
finely. In fact, he was satisfied that he was
amply repaid for his trouble and expense in
importing the roots from France last Spring.

the ten pages before Us and, with the aid of a
magnifying glass, three dictionaries, several
agricultural periodicals, history Of eminent
agriculturists, a standard work on chemistry,
another on hydraulics, o large street Committee,
several know-nothings, and our compositor on
unintelligible copy, we mastered the first three
lines in the first half day. We were happy
within the first hour to ascertain when we had
the manuscript right side up-for it looks as
much like writing one way as another. 1t is
now in the hands of competent committee to
decide in what language it is written, and if it is
ascertained that it is neither Hebrew nor Greek,
we must infer that it was intended for English,
and shall proceed to decipher it,"
