POTATOES-FALL PLANTING,

The dry weather Of the present season. as we'll
as that Of 1854 has proved particularly disastrous
to the potato crop. Our seasons at bestare not al
together adapted 10 this root. 1t requires a CHI
mate more moist and OF a lower temperature like
that of Great Britain, or the northern portion Of
the United States, to grow the potato in perfec-
ton
The demand for potatoes in the Southern mar
kets communicating with the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, Notwithstanding the Disadvantages OF cu-
mate, renders the crop an important enc to many
of the farmers residing near thee rivers. To pro-
dlce good CROP the planting should be cary in
the spring, followed with ssssonabe rains until Il
middle or the last of June, 50 to insure msturty
at the earliest possible period, before the heat Of
summer becomes extreme, which ia prejudiclsl 10

B TIE following oelectsble BIT is from III;
New York Herald. The trifing error some PEG
PIE w5ul call it huge He-of asserting that Mr.
Sone was one Of the prime advocates of Mr.. Blu
chanan at Cincinnati, dee not make the paragraph
any less Heraldic:
| Niger STocK IN NIcARAGUA-While Gen. Piercs
is endesvoring to force slavery into Kansas at the
point of the bsyonet, his democratic ally, General
William Walker, has succeeded in doing the same
thing in the republic Of Nicaragua. Slavery was
abolished in Central America near forty years ago.
and decree resffrming its abolition forms part OF
the constitution of 1888. This decree has recent
ly been declared null and void by Gen. Walker,
and all the Southern fire eaters at liberty t.
take tb cir slaves into Nicaragua. Thus slavery
extends South and West, and the real policy of
the uigger-driving democracy ia daily becoming
more apparent. This Nicaragua decree is made,
says one Of our correspondents for the particular
benefit of Mr. Pierre Soule, who was one of the
prime advocates of Mr.. Buchanan at Cincinnati
and who has since purchas I'd plantation near
Grenada for fifty thousand dollars.
EMIGRATION TO NIoARAGUA-There is great in
terest felt in relation 10 the affairs of Central
America at the preseLt time in this city and vi
cinity. We are informed that eighty able bodied
emigrsnts sailed from this city a lew days ago, for
Nicaragua, aud two hundred more are preparing
TO leave for the same destination in few days.
Flsttering inducements are held out to all young
men of enterprise, to join in settling this new
country. Two hundred and fifty acres of land are
offered as bonus at starting if they do not choose
to retain it, the pledge is given that its actual value
in money will be paid to the holder before lie
leaves the vessel If, after the emgrants arrive,
any of them choose TO join Gen. Walkers brave
troops, they will have an opportunity of doing so.
The details will be given to the public more at
length in few dsys.-Phi!a. Pennsylvania.

Or The young democracy of Eigefeld intend
having this morning, in Col. Bransford's grove, a
barbecue. They desire TO see a large number of
ladies present, in which. we trust they will not be
disappointed. They will have fine barbecue, and
good speakers. We delight to zee the youth of
the country early imbuing themselves with The
noble spirit of democracy. 1t gives assurance that
the incoming generation are actuated by an mate

me ebb and flow Of purple SEAS
The pulse Of flowers that hrobs through Earth,
& nc The lovely seasons, changing place,
And all that God from chaos wrought,
Are but the tools Of Time and Space
The mind wider orbit has

And wiring the secrets from the stars. 80
The Elements are slaves to man:

And he has made the Lightning fend

And, with subtle skill, designed
A little "font Of type" 10 bear
The impress of the deathless Mind
GO forth pure evangel, Thought!
Let Wars red gonfalons be furled!
Go forth, and with thy teachings break
The nanaces that bound the world
Go forth, with holy lips Of Peace!
Speak golden words of God and Death,
And, like the good Samari an,
Pour oil upon The wounds of faith
Paan for the Printers Art!
