published on our outside form last week, there
occurred two errors that we are unwilling to
let pass without correction In the Introductory
CLAUSE, wherein he proposes to give such inform
alton as he had in his possession, &C., agrecaoly
to his own experience and observation the year
he had been engaged in the bushes, the time
should have been the three years, &C., instead of
one year. Also, in the next clause. in the ex-
tract from the Country Gentleman, in speaking
of tic preferred Sdhr Vimindhs, or European

and strong in one year from the shoots, which
characteristic renders it very useful for basket
making. The leaves are long and narrow" DC.
While making these corrections, we would
again recommend to our farmers to avail thsn-
selves OF the information and examples of Mr..

expulsion of Col. Kinney, who was remaining
quietly at Greytown, laboring for its improve
ment. Matters of political moment seem likely
to grow out of the movements of these men and
perhaps Of very diverse character. Walkers

Gen. PIEKCE's PROSPECTS, of a denomination,
are clearly waning. Candidates are starting mp
as thick as blaskberries. Dallas, Wise and Ba-
chanan are already in the field. If we must
have slave Democrat for our next President,
Heaven grant that he may be from the South.
Cobb of Georgia, Hunter of Virginia and Boyd
of Kentucky would, either of them, we believe,
be far less pro-slavey than Frank Pierce and
Willard Fillmore.
