field of battle than by ones own hand" We
separated.
A few weeks since in running my eye along
the list of those who had distinguished them
selves at the battle of Inkerman, l saw the
name of Lieut.. COL. A letter from my
friend has since informed me that he had
served in India, with Lord Cough, and was
promoted for his gallant conduct in three
campaigns. He was present at the battle of
Alma, Balaklava and Inke rman, and at last ac
counts was in good health, engaged in the
siege of Sevastopol. He was still singles his
heart was dead to love.

holding freeman, including those of theSouth,

will discover that the power of the general
Government over the public lands may be ben
eficially exerted to advance their interests and
secure their independence. Knowing this,
their suffrages will not be wanting to maintain
that authority in the Union which is absolute
ly essential to the maintenance of their own
liberties, and which has more than once indi-
lands in such way as would make every set
tier upon them a free-holder.
If the people cntrust to me the administra-
tion of the Government, the laws of Congress
in relation TO the Territories will be faithfully
executed. All its authority will be exerted in
aid of the national will to re-establish the peace
of the country on the just principles which
have heretofore received the sanction of the
Federal Government, of the States, and of the
people of both sections. Such policy would
leave no ailment to that ectional party which
seeks its aggrandzement by appropriating the
new Territories to capital in the form of Slave
ry, but would inevitably result in the triumph
of free labor--the natural capital which con-
stitutes the real wealth of this great country,
and creates that intelligent power in the mas
ses alone to be relied on as the bulwark of
free institutions.

pretending our whole country, with its varied
interests, and confident that patriotism exists

nation of your Conve ntion, in the hope that
may be enabled to serve usefully its cause,
which 1 consider the cause of Constitutional
Freedom.

HOPED PETTICOATS.

This is no new invention, as fashionable
dress-makers would fain have us believe, but
dates back to the time of Queen Anne. We
find the following account of the origin of
hooped petticoats, in an article on the 'sHisto-
ry of Female Dress,'' published in the .4nleri-
can Magazine, of November, 1746, one hun
died and ten years ago. So it appears that
our great-great- grand mothers were as fash
ionable as the bellies nowadays
ssOn resuming the War under Queen Anne,
the sprightly Gauls set their little wits to work
again. and invented wonderful machine,
commonly called Hoop Petticoat. In this
fine scheme they had more views than one j;
they had compared their own climate and con-
stitution with that of the British and finding
both warmer, they naturally enough conclu-
ded that would only be pleasingly cool to
them, which would perhaps give the British
ladies the Rheumatism and that if they once
got them off their legs, they should have them
at advantage. Besides, they had been infor-
med, though falsely, that the British ladies
had not good legs, and then, at all events,
this scheme would expose them. With these
pernicious views, they set themselves to work

and sent the pattern over by the Sussex Snug
glers, with an intent that it should be seized,
and exposed to public view; which happened
accordingly, and made it's first appearance at
the Great Mans house on that coast, whose
Lady claimed it as her peculiar property. In
it she first struck at Court, what the learned
in dress call, bold stroke; and was there

passed away, it became proper that l should
attend her funeral. 1t was school afternoon.
l did not dismiss the scholars, and as they al

they sat arranged the needle work and read

UNIT for good behaviour, and CROSS for bad.
When return, shall anxiously look at the
slate, and in the morning, when you are all as

thing may be confirmed. But l trust in you -
On my return L visited the school-room, and
found but one CROSS on the slate, and that

name of a beautiful, open, bright, brave child.
who then promised much for the world-the
fact of her having rich parents being her great

How TO CULTIVATE ToMAroEs.-Tomatoes
are benefited by shortening in. Three-fourths
of the mature fruit is produced upon small
part of the vine nearest the root, say one-third
or one-fourth of its length. 1t is recommen-
ded to stop the further development of vines
after fair supply of fruit is set, by clipping
off the vine growing beyond. The clipping
should not be carried too far, as supply OF
foliage is required to gather food from the arr
One of the most successful cultivators in our
acquaintance made it rule to let no vine ex-
tend beyoud four feet from its root.
