Mr. Wise ever saw tobacco hiIl-aad if he G nd
tell Us whether ginseng is caught with a hook or
net, pair of dredging tongs
Bnt, "returning to our mutton Mr. WISE
wants TO make spire of grass grow sublime
aspiration where none ever grew beforehand
of Mr. WISE. like Catalina il may be said, qhod
ruit, uuide rRi. How will he accomplish tins :
We never heard that the Executive Mansion IN
Richmond well adapted for agricultural eA-
perinents. Some little we know, has been done
in this ayby former tenants of that commodlous
and rent.freo establishment. Gov. Floyd, we re-
member Tor was il Extra" William = set two
Dead Sen calves to grazing in the Public square,
TO the infinite dedication Of circumamhent "alli-
rators:a and Joseyh Johnson Whose name We
somehow can't write without understanding, saved
the bacon of fine corn field hand, who Ind
been improydeniy sentenced TO be wasted ON
the gallows for the trivial offence ofknockins his
overseer in the head. But these tritiipg
contributions to the cause Of agriculture, coin
pared with What the great Accomae farmer pro
poses To IL. How, we say, will he accomplish
the PRODIGY lac proposes Bless your souls dear
readers, yan surely don t expect us 10 know

"eabin. crib and continr' Mr.. Wise nmong tho
dusty parchnents Of the Capitol aud The 6overn-
or's Housed Does he not deserve and need a bet
ter field for operntingl There is the Agricultural
State Society-why not make him President OF
that or manager of the model farm Mt Peters
burg; or Professor in some Manual Labor School;
or Inspector of Guano : Why doesn't the en-
tcrprisng editor Of Tho Southern Planter
gage him To write essays on the value Of mnrl-
beds, and the fertilizing properties of decayed
fish, Verify. it would be cruel to Mr. Wise,
while nll the energies of his pnwertulnatnre are 50
intensely directed To the subject of agriculture,
To take him fro n 1.-The woods and fields" from
'tho sweet look which nature wears and shut
him up in the city of Richmond, in whose streets
no grnss grows
Our limits forbid US to follow Mr.. Wise further,
at present, in n consideration of his plans for
generating the Old Dominion. What he snys ns 10
the wisdom Of developing The material resources
of the staie has been said a thousand times over
by the press of the stntc-und better said, In
this latitude ii is M old >tory-so old that ftaf
il has lost its charm with tho party who hive had
the control for mnuy org year IN the state, but
have faled 10 profit by il. His scheme for en- ii
waiting the intellectual power of the state Is too
vague 10 be understood and will in the end PROV,
too chimerica tohr reduced to practice Some
his views about tao Federal government are III
direct collision with opinions he has heretofor,
held and may hold again. His attempt To iden
,ify the Know nothing Party with the abolition.
lists will not do for ~ Nmginin audience. for III
body believes TINT the members Of that organizn
ton in this state have any sympathy with NORTH
crn tanaticism.
We trust that Mr. Wise will have Irasas
tour through tho state; and that when the han
of Fate, which neither he nor any man may pt
aside, assigns him 10 the pleasant retirement
"Only nenr Onanc"ck." he may lind himself
that phosophie m, I'd, which robs disappointment
of its bitterness, and teaches US thnt " wlnteve
is is right" Amen
