The Dispute with England.


We regret to see In the Enquirer Of yesterday,
which we presume has peculiar means Of informa-
tion the following upon the subject Of our relations
with England:
''If the discussion of our difficulties with Eng.
land Is suspended for q moment by the press, and
there seems to re q more pacific disposition in the
public mind Il is not the less likely that Mr.. Marcy
and Lord Clarendon are engaged In an energetic
interchange of notes, and that the contendng 60
vernments contemplate each other In no amiaoie
mood It Is rash to infer from cvities to our Min
ister that the controversy with Great Britain
less menacing aspect In fact we have posltiye
information that the difficulty, 90 far from seem
ing to approach friendly adjustment, was never !,
more embarrassed than at this very moment oi
apparent cordiality and good-understanding.
We are sorry to hear this 1t may be that the
coutendinR governments contemplate each other In
no amiabls mood" but such is not the spirit OF the
people of either country. And hatever be the case
: in England, the American government will never
presumeto disregard the wishes Of the people, and
involve the nation in an unnecessary war, and one
for which 1t is totally unprepared, while its adver-
saries are armed to the teeth.
The concluding paragraph Of the Enquirsr's ar
ticle however, is calculated to remove the appre'
tensions to which the portion of Its remarks we
have quoted might give RISE 1t says, the Presi-
dent may consent to arbitrate the dispute touching
the construction of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty !;
but that upon the enlistment question, he will &C
cept no other atonement than the recall or dismis
"sal of the British Minister. There 10 then imm
nent danger OF hostlities for the English Journals
themselves admit that the dismissal of a minister
does not furnish cause of war. The reference Of
the Central American question to arbitration will
settle that difficulty. 1t is to be hoped that Con
gress win learn lesson from these troubles, and
put the defences of the country, both upon LAND
and sea- in such condition that hereafter oul
whole commerce and coast may not be left open te
the assaults of an enterprising enemy.

80 CORN CULTURE. -

Dir. CLouD Dear Sir /: Your excellent
paper is now on my table; and as Corn
planting season is near at hand, If could
contribute any aid to my brother plan
ters, by relation Of an experiment on GO
acres of Corn last year, shall be well re-
warded. The field is level; had been in
Cotton the year previous; had two piow
stocks made, having two feet in the same
beam, the bind foot four inches longer
than the fore foot. A common turn sho.
vel on the fore foot, long scooter on tho
bind foot, drawn 10y two mules, land well
brokeo, six inches deep. About three
weeks after, used the same plow, with n
straight shovel before, in laying off tb.
land, and checked it with a small scooter;
dropped the Corn, (after being soaked in
human excrement and urine, and rolled
in ashes,) in the check, three feet three
inches each way. Asst began'to come
up, knocked of with board, when from
four to six inches high took large sweeps,
ran one furrow the way it was planted,
which dirtcd the corn moderately; hoes
followed and thinncd. When about breast
high, took the same sweeps mot buzzartls)
and crossed; plowed with three furrows
per row, dropping peas beside the corn,
and The work was done. So that with
four furrows to the row, after it came up,
the corn was made, and averaged, per
acre, seven barrels excellent corn, leaving
about four acres, not gathered, for fatton
ing hogs. Itis thought the seed corn is
rather extra; having been gathered from
the field, off tho finest stalks-the best
ears sorted out aud nailed up in box in
the crib, for planting next season. This
has been done for eyer ten years. The
improvement on'the corn is larger ears,
and general! two on stalk, and sound
corn. S. G. J.

WINTER OF, THE HEART.

A beautiful writer c6unsels wisely when
he says: "Live so that good angels may
protect from this terrible vil--the winter
ofthc heart" Let n" chilling influence
freeze up the fountains Of sympathy and
happiness in Its depths; no cold burden
settle over its wi:hered hopes, like snow
on the faded flowers: no rude blasts .,of
discomfort moan and shrek through its
desolaled chambers.
Your lile-path may lead through trials,
which for time seemed utterly to impede
your progress, apd shut out the very'iight
OF heaven from your anxious gaze. Penu.
ry may take the place of eaze and plenty;
the luxurious room be changed for an hum
ble one the soft couch for strow pallet;
the rich viands for the coarse food of the
poor. Summer friends may forsake you,
and the Implying world pass you with
scarcely look or word of compassion.
You may be forced to Toll YEARLY, stea-
dily on to earn 4 livelihood; YOU may en-.
counter fraud and the base ayarice that
would extrrt the last farthing, till YOU
we'll nigh turn in disgust from your fellow
beings. Death may sever the dear ties
that bind you to cnrlh ,andlcaveyou in tear
fnl darkness. Plat noble, manly boy, tho
sole hope of your declining years, may be
taken from you while your spirit clirgs ia
him with wild tenaci,y, which even the
shadow Of the tomb cannot wholly sub,
! due. I II
Amid all these sorrows, do not come tc
the conclusion that nobody was ever SC
deeply afflicted as YOU are, and abandon
every anticipation Of "bcttcr days." in the
unknown future. DO not lose your fai,l
in human excellence, because confidence
has sometimes been betrayed, nor believe
that friendship was only delusion, and
Iowa phantom which glides away from
yoar grasp. ," ct" .. e.
DO not believe that you arc fated to be
miserable, becausc you are disappointed in
your expectations, and batiled in Sotr pur
suits. DO not declare that God has for.
saken you. when your way is hedged abou,
with thorns. or repine sinfuliy when he
calls your dear ouea" TO the land beyond
'lis'g'ave. Keep al,dly trust in Heaven
throug ~ every trial bear Adversity will
fortitude, AMI look upwards in temptation
and suffering. When Your locks arc
white, your eyes dim, and your steps fal
ter on the verge Of deaths gloomy vale
still retain the freshness and buoy o
spirit which will shield you from the
winter Of the heart. D.. a.
