LATER FROM EURoPE-The steamship
Pacific arrived on Friday last, and by her
we have some important and interesting
news. The rumored fall of Kars, mention
ed by the previous steamer, is confirmed
The garrison weakened by famine and no
longer able to wait the slow approaches of
Omer Pacha, had capitulated, thus giving
to the Russians possession of the most i'm
portant Turkish stronghold in Asia, and en-
abling them to close the campaign with
triumph Of which they will assuredly make
the most. The garrison numbering 5000
and commanded by several British officers
of distinction, were supposed to have surren-
dered. From the Crimea we have intelli-
gence of an attack by the Russians on the
French lines. Its results were unimportant.
At Sevastopol affairs remained as before re-
ported.
The prospects of peace, as reported by the
telegraph, do not answer to the sanguine
account promulgated on this side of the O.
cean. It seems, however, to be admitted
that negotiations are in progress, that the
French Emperor heads the peace party, and
that divisions exist in the English Cabinet.
Lord Palmerston and Panmure assuming
the warlike side whilst the majority of the
Cabinet are in favor of peace.
Consols had lost portion of the advance
reported by the last steamer, and are re-
ported at $50. An increased issue of Bank
of England notes to the amount of half a
million sterling had been authorized by the
Queen. Cotton and breadstufs were un-
changed.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AND EXPERIMENT
tai FARM.-Our readers are aware that the
Maryland State Agricultural Society has for
several years past had in contemplation the
purchase of an Experimental Farm, and the
establishment of an Agricultural College, as
the only sure means of introducing scien-
tifc system of agriculture into the State
On this subject, the american Farmer for
January, which is already on our table,
says:
circumstances beyond the control of the
Society have heretofore prevented much
Roadway being made, but at the late annual
meeting such preliminary steps were taken
as give us strong hopes that measure fraueht
with so many benefits to the commonwealth
and blessings to the future farmers of our
State and country is now likely to be con-
summated. The appointment of Mr.. Bowie
as Treasurer of the Society, who has con-
sented to canvas the State in behalf of this
object, and the very fattering success which
has already attended his labors, induces the
hope that the day is not far distant when
our expectations will be realized.

Shorter, of Alabama, favored taking new

Complaints have been made against Mexico
by our citizens for injuries done, but until
a stable government is established there it
will be impossible to obtain redress.
The message next refers to the domestic
affairs of our country. The condition of the
treasury is recapitulated, the mode of ad-
ministering the financial affairs of the gov
eminent extolled, and an early revision and
reduction Of the tariff, so as to bring it
down to a revenue standard, recommended.
The recommendations of the previous mes
sage for a reorganization of the army are
renewed. The increase of naval force au-
thorized by Congress at its last session, the
President thinks, still leaves the navy mad
equate to the contingent exigencies of the
protection of the extensive sea coast and vast
commercial interests of the United States:
In view of this fact and of the acknowledge
ed wisdom of the policy of gradual and
systematic increase of the navy, an appro-
priation is recommended for the construction
of six steam sloops of war.
After briefly touching upon the Depart
ments of the Post Office and of the Interior,
the President next refers to the recent
troubles in Kansas, and says that her peo-
pie must be protected in the exercise Of their
rights without interference on the part Of
the people of any other State. He COM
mends the subject to the early attention Of
Congress. In conclusion the President eu-
logizes popular sovereignty, and gives the
history of the formation of the Union; ex.
postulates on the subject of State rights will
particular reference to slavery and the fugi
tive slave law, regarding the agitation az
dangerous to the durability of the Union
He regrets to see the States disregard con
stitutional obligations and refuse to obey thu
laws Of Congress; denies that the South hal
obtained any advantages over the North il
the Federal Government, and proceeds tt
refer to the ordinance of 1877 and the &C
QUESTION of Louisiana, to illustrate the bal
ance of power between freedom and slavery
He comes down to the annexation of Texas
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, &c.
and argues that the South has got no NOR
than belongs to her He makes an elabo
rate defence of the principles Of the Nebras
ka bill, and Indignantly denies that it wa
breach of faith. He closes with an aver
ment of his confidence in the stability of tn
Union, relying for its preservation on tn
patriotism of the people, on the dignity AM
self respect of the States, on the wisdom Q
Congress, and above all, on the continues
gracious favor of Almighty God.
The message is brief, written in a frank
unadorned style, and should be general,
read.
In the Senate the Message was read with
out objection. In the House it's reception
gave rise to a heightened debate, and final
! ly by decided vote the House refused, il
its present unorganized state, to hear it read

The New YEAR.-Having just entered
upon the duties of another year, it is proper
that every one should form some good reso-
luton and endeavor to carry it out faithful

may not in some respect .'mend his ways. "
1t is for each individual however to examine
himself and decide what reformation is need
ed. By so doing, the present may be made
a "happy New Year." and we trust it will
be to every patron of the ''Times.'

The HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, afte,

proper sense of their duty to the country;
and this we sincerely hope may be the case
very soon. vi.

A NEEDED MOVEMENT.

Two years ago, Rev. Warren Burton, of
Boston, who is devoting himself to the cause
of Domestic Education, proposed, through
and circulars, to the people Of
his own State, that there should be meetings
during the more leisure season, to discuss
