The annual report Of the Massachusetts, Board
OF Agriculture devotcs considerable space to q
discussion and description Of the drought of 1854,
and comparison Of its effects with those Of other
droughts in past years Its author O. Flint. ESQ,
says that the dry time Of 1854 was undoubtedly
more extensive and destructive than any which
has preceded II for upwards Of fifty years There
be no doubt, il Is remarked, that the destruc-
ton of forests has much increased the severity
of our summer droughts. Forests have a tendency,
by protecting the earth from the scorching rays Of
the sun, TO prevent large amount Of evaporation,
and thus lower the temperature Of the SOIL When
standing upon elevated grounds the sources Of
rivers are found in them, and they determine the
direction of the prevailing winds and rains. The
winds which blow over forests become impregnated
with moisture, which they spread over the country
giving freshness and life to all the vegetable crea
non. but where there are no forests, the clouds
sweep over the country without finding any obsta-
Gle 70 arrest their progress and resolve them into
rain. The streams become dried up. the soil il
heated, and the winds, passing over largo extents
Of country, parched by the sun, become hot and
bear with them heat and sterility Mr. Flint re-
grets that the grand old forests Of Massachusetts
have been so nearly destroyed. Nevertheless. he
says Il is wellestablished fact that the forests Of
that State are at the present moment actually in
creasing in extent, though most Of them are Of a
young growth.
The report recommends among the most practi-
cable methods of preventing suffering by drought,
that irrigation be introduced more generally among
our farmers, and that they take more pains 10 re-
claim and cultivate low lands which, at the same
time that they retain moisture better than Others
will not fail 70 pay very large profit to tho cult
yator, year after year,

favor Of its extension, but as a party, We en-
terrain no questions affecting the existence Of
slavery, leaving those who differ on these mat
tiers, to settle them outside Of the organization,
precisely as the Wing or Democratic party
would settle them. But we must here be per-
mitted to say, that we know Of no man, and
have heard Of no man inside of our organiza-
ton, who would sanction the principle and
purpose, laid downSby the Forney and Pierce
convention of Ohio Democrats, at Columbus,
on the eighth of january last, to wit that they
Dould at all times use all posoer gipen bg
the terms Of tho national compact, 10 pre-
rent the increase and finally to eradicate
the eoils Of stGcery.
1t is in bad taste, and comes with bad grace
from the Forney and Pierce Democrats, when
their presses attempt to connect the American
party" with the anti-Slavery party Of the
North, after Illuminating their threats, in solemn
convention, that THEY, the Democracy Of Ohio
intend to ERADICATE" Slavery
Now, how stands New Hampshire in the
present contest2 Is the late defeat Of Forney
and Pierce in that State, an :" abolition tri-
unphf ?"
Then General Pierce was sustained by Abo-
litionists in 1881 He received in that year, a
plurality of 1856 votes over General Scott,
and a majority Of 7,155 votes over both Scott
and Hale; and now the American candidate is
most triumphantly elected, over the Democratic,
the Wing, and the Free-soil candidates
Whatmanner Of men composed that major,
ity of over 1000 votes, which General Pierce
received in 1862? Most assuredly many thou
sands of those were a5olitionists, who then
voted for General Pierce, If the late victory is
an " abolition triumph p" And surely if Gen.
Pierce could receive thousands of anti-slavery
votes, without his election being then regarded
as an "abolition triumph" in that State, why
might not as many thousands vote for the
American candidate" without rendering his
election an abolition triumph ?" "What is
sauce for the goose, Is sauce for the gander'--
and if the late victory belongs to the anti-save-
ry men Of New Hampshire, so also did the
election of Gen. Pierce in 1852
But the truth Of the matter is confessed by
the New Hampshire papers, as quoted by the
National Intelligsncer, and to which we ask
especial attention. The American party" has
annihilated the forces Of both Pierce and Sc
ward, In New Hampshire. The two late mem.
bers of Congress from New Hampshire, who
were the nominees Of the defeated party in that
State voted against the Nebraska bill, and
stood pledged to vote for its repeal, had they
been elected. 1t is idle then, for Southern For
ney and Pierce ranters to assert, that the Ne
braska issue was made in New Hampshire, for
neither party dared to make 1t. II was the
triumph Of " Sam over Foreignism, Roman.
ism, and Demagoguism.

We saw that Seward, Greeley, Weed, Adams,

thingism as the Evil One does against religion !
but that did not convince US. Southern men resi-
siding in the North, and connected with the or
ganization, assured us that no man who was true
American" could be an abolitionist or an agita-
| tor--but that did not satisfy us that Know-No-

assured us that the order had offered TO make him
unwilling to admit that the organization was an in

for Attorney General That settles it. The case
is made out. ACKNOWLEDGMENT is the invention
of the bolitonists-destined to destroy the nsti-
tuition Of slavery-and reduce the South to beggary

The above remarks are, as our readers will
perceive, Of an ironical character; but they
contain vast deal of truth under q satirical
outside. If Flournoy, Beale, and Patton can
not be trusted by Virginians, then it may be
safely asserted that they would not trust Wash
ington, or Henry, or Madison, or Leigh, If they
should rise from their graves.

GENERAL Thomas III. Bayly.

We observe, by this gentleman's card, in the
Sentinel of this morning, that he is again a
candidate for reelection to Congress, and that,
without expressing his opinions therein, on the
questions to which we suppose he alludes, in
answer to the letter of Mr.. Mears, he refers to
his "record, in the public journals
We have known General Bayly's political
course ever since he became a member of the
Virginia Legislature, in the winter of 1867,
and, whilst we know Of nothing special to OBJ
ject thereto, we do not know enough of the de-
tails of the record" to express any opinion
now as to the bearing of his votes and speeches

hey. mr. Armstrong, Of Norfolk, Va, delivered
Lecture on Tuesday evening In the First Prcsby-
terrain church, before the Young Mems Christian
Association, on tho Unity Of the Human Race
The lecture was founded entirely ON the consider
alton of mans spiritual nature He commenced
with quotations from Volney, the French Infidel,
followed by another from Dr. Dewey, the New
England Unitarian, and another from Dr. Chalmers,
the Scotch Calvinist, tending 10 show the rniver-
sal deprayity Of the human race. He remarked
that quotations made from men of such different
opinions, all agreeing on the same point proved
conclusvely, that this point was true. These quo
tations, he continued, did not prove the unity Of
the human race, but suggested 1t. The universaii-
ty of concience among all mem. Q. an appreci-
alton between right and wrong, also suggested the
same idea
He then proceeded to show that the adaptation
of the Gospel to all nations further tended to prove
the unity oforigin. The Scriptures itself contained
an argument in favor Of the unity Of the human
race because II was promised all the descendants
of Adam that they should be saved from the pun
ishment due to Adams transgressions by the Re-
deemer to come. This, he said, was effected by
the death Of Christ who instructed his apostles
to preach the Gospel to all nations; and as this
was to benefit the descendants Of Adam, 1t followed
that all nations were the descendants of Adam.
The propretors of the Virginia Locomotive and
Car Works have concluded to temporarily close
their establishment. Business, generally, Is i'm

RoMB-SHEIL IN THE CAxr--We learn that o
Democratic meeting was held at Burton's Creek
Church, in this county, last Saturday night at
which scene occurred not calculated to advance
materially the interests Of Mr.. Wise. Among the
speakers called upon was Mr.. Cheatam johnson,
an old and leading Democrat in his community,
who responded by saying, among other things,
feet OF this declaration upon the faithful may
be imagined--it came like shower bath In De-
cember, " terrifying them not little.
The speaker then introduced the subject Of
SAM and said that he " did not know much
about these Know-Nothings, but that they were
springing up all over the country like mushrooms
in the woods l"--L ynch6urg Virgirian.

the following paragraphs relative TO election
"a voter must dwell here at the time Of offer

actual inhabitancy, which he actually intends to
continue permanently and he must have made
the Territory his dwelling to the exclusion Of any

New York Police.

BY report Of the Chief Of the New York
Police, the following information is conveyed
to the public:
are natives Of the United States, and AIT natives
Of foreign countries. OF the foreigners born, 3o5
are Irish, and so Germans. Fourteen men refused
to answer. They are known to be foreigners
None Of the members are unnaturalized, and but
few Of them have been residents less than seven
years.
The most interesting development remains to be
told. 7hirtynine of the Police now on active
duty have been in State Prison.
Does any one believe that more than one
third Of the police force of New York would
have been composed Of foreigners, If the dema-
gogues who control that city had not relied
upon the foreign vote to sustain them in their
corrupt practicesP
1t is customary, in this country, to regard
with horror the corruption of European gov
ernmonts. But In what court Of Europe let
us ask, does corruption walk moro unblush-
ingly in MONDAY than for years she has
stallsed with brazen face through the City Hall
Of New York ? Were it not for her large for
eign population, New York would be as well
governed as Boston, or Charleston, or Phila-
delphia Why nots Her american citizens
are as honest, as virtuous, and as law-abiding
as those Of any other city. 1t is the foreign
element forming so large portion of her pop
ulation, which renders her a disgraceful excep-
ton to all the other cities Of the United States.
Two years ago, three Of her Aldermen were in
dicted by the grand jury and, as we write, one
of her Common Council, an Irishman, is an in
mate of the Tombs, for aiding the escape Of
the murderer Of Poole--that murderer himself
