Agricultural Ode.


Y W l. j. 4 q. Mt.
Far back in ages.
The plough with wrcaths was crowned,
The hands Of kings and sagcs
Entwined the chaplet round
Til men Of spoil
Disdained the toll
By which the world was nourished,
And blood and pi!lage were the soil
In which their laurels flourished.
Now the world her fault despairs-
The guilt that stains her story,
And weeps her crimes amid the cares
That formed her earliest glory.
The throne shall crusnble,
The diadem shall wane,
The Tribes Of earth shall humble
The pride Of those who reign,
And var shall lay
His pomp away.
The fame that heroes cherish,
The glory earned in deadly fray,
Shall fade, decay and perish.
Honor waits DER all the earth,
Through endless generations
The art that calls the harvest forth,
And feeds the eXpectant nation.

CHINESE SUGAR CASE-They have recently been
holding State Fair in Columbia, South Carolina.
From all accounts it must have been an extremely in
teresting afair. We would like to see similar Fairs
more common affairs throughout the Southern States
They would be productive of large amount of pac-
tical good, beyond all question From letter written
by the correspondent Of the Charleston Courier, we
clip the annexed paragraph. 1t possesses peculiar
interest," to goodly portion of our readers:
Mr.. Peters, Of Georgia has sent gallon Of syrup,
made from the Sorgum Sucree Or Chinese Sugar Cane,
besides several specimens of the cane, which are OBJ
jects OF much interest and enquiry. AS this cane is
now an object of excitement it may not be amss
to add, that it is not only valuable for its saccharne
matter, but its leaves when dried or cured, make
most excellent fodder for stock. From one acre of
the cane, Mr. Peters gathered 800 pounds of fodder
% bushels OF seed weighing So pounds to the bushel
and 4G5 gallons Of syrup Obtaining such unexpected
success with the Chinese Sugar Cane, he tried the
common corn stalk, and though it yielded large
quantity of syrup, it was found to possess peculiarly
di>agreeabe taste, entirely unfit for use.

IMPORTANT FROM ESGLANp-It is stated in the
Philadelphia American that private letters received
in that city from the Hon. George NJ Dallas by his
confidential friends convey the important intelligence
that he has succeeded in negotiating treaty between
the United States and England which and set
ties all the points in dispute between the two coun
tries. 1t has been the earnest desire of President
Pierce and Secretary Marcy to accomplish this diff
cult task before retiring from Office that all posi-
bic trouble might be snoothed away for the incoming
Administration. The Instructions given to Mr. DaI.
zeaousy acted up to by him. and the result has been
most happy, as above noted.

CONSUL BARCLAYS SUocEssoEe-The New York
Evening Post, Of the 18th instant, says:
It is presumed that very soon after the news Of our
Presidential election reaches England the consular
vacancies Of the British government in this country
will be promptly filed. 1t is doubted, in wenfor-
ed circles, whether minister will be senthere during
the continuance of Mr.. Pierce's administration.
For the consuIarshp Of this city there is a lively
competition. The only candidates for the post whose
names have yet transpired, so far as we know, are
Nr. Fowler, the much esteemed gentleman charged
ad interim with the duties Of the consulate Mr.
Bunch, formerly consul at PHILADELPHIA and at present
consul at Charleston and Mr.. John Locke, who for
some years was connected with the Cunard steamer
management in this city,
They are all estnable persons, and we only regret
that they cannot all have it. = -

claim much latitude, rather circumference now
in the matter of dress that it is very difficult for
fashion to give spread enough to their garments with
out shectng them to lnConveniences not easily over
come Oh narrow paYements and distracted passage
ways. a new and better article than whaebone for
distending the dress, is introduced. It is a cord
made OF guttapercha which is not so heavy as whale.
bone is flexible that the dress can be folded
close to the person, when necessary and preserves
elasticity enough to its proper position again.
For the ladies dresses this is just the thing needed
and it can be united by simply putting the ends in
hot water There is, therefore, no springing of tile
ends and tearing Of the dress. Gutta-percha is one
OF the most useful articles known. We have no doubt
that the cord above referred to, would make excel
lent clothes lines, and for skppngropes for the
young ladies. nothing could lie better or more de-
