farmers GUIDE.-The concluding No. Of this work
Is upon our table, and we but repeat the unanimous
verdict of the Agricultural press, in saying that i Is
among the most complete and reliable contributions
TO scientific and practical agriculture The arrange
ment of the work is convenient for reference, the Il
lustratlons beautiful the language plain clear intel
ligible and truthful The work comprisis two royal
svo vols Of 1900 pages including 600 wood cuts and
IA steel engraVings.-OhiO CultiuGtOr.
We have received this highly interesting and useful
but above all, practical work. We know of no other
agricultural work ever published in this country which
might compare with the one just named in practical
usefulness and intrinsic merit in general-BgD0l6

The farmers GuIDE-This work is rich mine Of
agricultural knowledge, presented In simple and "a
mliar style giving coPous details Of the best practice
on English farms and adapted TO general use in this
country by the udicious notes Of the American editor
The intelligent farmer will hnd It very attractive read
ing. In the comparison between English and Ameri
can husbandry for which II furnishes ample materials
he may obtain many valuable hints for increasing the
product Of his acres. The mental stimulus given
BY the perusa Of such writing Is quite as important as
their more immediate purposes and even II they
should not refund the expense Of their purchase In
dollars and cents at the end Of the year they will more
than make the outlay good in the Intellectual benefits
which they impart-Nsio York Tribune.

Postal Reform retrogrades- In the Senate
upquestionably, under the direction OF the Post
ma ter. Geperal-Mr. Yulee on Saturday last re-
ported the following bill providing for the " COM
pulsory prepay ment of postage on all transient
printed matter:

This is of the same piece with all other compul-
sorry prepayment; ifpossible worse. The law as
applied to letters is inconvenient, causing serious
less ofentimes where there is fault in the writer
Of letter. This bill, If it becomes . Law, will
doom Yet larger amount Of our printed mater
to failure and loss than we are now subject to.
Prepayment ofleters and every thing as far as prac
iicable IL all well, very well; but IN just Gov
erpmARt, without any provision for prompt return
tf IN dead letters aud other mail matter, seize,
condemn and destroy the property Of the citizen
because the label that shows the payment OF its
postage is lost or stolen Is there no penalty
short of absolute destruction that may serve to
ineuce those who use the mails to prepay their
dccumen'sf
This matter of the compulsory prepayment of
letters has b. argued over and over again in these
columns, and we have the satisfaction of knowing
that nero than ninety nine in hundred sgcee with

Hills statement 9e per GEN. Of all letters are pre-

Both Houses of Congress have decided that the
present session shall close on the 18th Of August
three weeks from this day. Into these three weeks
are necessarily crowded the issues Of eight or nine
months deliberations. Kansas, Free or Slave; the
Army, Navy and Notifications; Peace or War in
Oregon; the awards Of the Board Of Claims the
increase or diminution of the Federal Expendi-
lures; our Ocean Mail policy-in short nearly
every National interest Or purpose-is des lined to
be seriously affected by the action of Congress
during these three weeks; and the character of this
action will be mainly determined by the extent and
character of the absenteeism from the floor Of the
House.
May we not, then, without intrusion or ofense,
entreat every member favorable to Freedom in
Kansas a1d the general policy of Reform and LIB.
erty which will triumph in the election of FIRE.
mont, to return instantly to his seat il now absent

there, TO the close Of the session Three
weeks cannot be very long to attend to
pressing public duties-we know members
who have not been absent o single hour since
the Session began, while others have spent more
days out of Washington than in it. Aud the men
who have given half the time tn their private bust
ness, to tae neglect of their public trust, receive
ju,t as much pay as those who have given every
day to the doings of Congress. Here is an iSjus-
tice which ought to be redressed, by providing
that every Member who absents himself for any
other reason than his own i'll health, shall forfeit
at least two days pay for each days absence.

Philemon T. Herbert stands legally acquitted OF
the murder of Thomas Heating, and is henceforth
free from legal accountability for the deed. We do
not think the prosecution was what 1t should have
been, while the partially Of the presiding Judge
has been very glazing. Bat the culprit is none the
lees acquitted.
We think there cannot be one intelligent man in
the country who doubts that, If an Irish waiter
bad killed Member of Congress under precisely
similar circumstances with those Of the actual
trsgedy-if we can imagine waiter to have per-
petrated such q deed-he would most inevitably
have been convicted of murder, and hung. The
acquittal of Herbert seems, therefore, to strike at
the very pillars of public justice and shake the
foundations of society. In our view, the citizen
whom bis countrymen have honored and trusted
should be held to stricter responsibility, sterner
account, for acts involving moral delinquency, than
the ignorant and fiiendless wretches who are usu-
ally subjected TO the Laws harsher penalties.
Herbert's escape from justice will do harm both
wsyt-by encouraging the powerful to hope for
impunity in guilt, and leading the feeble to appre-
bend that Justice is as hard upon them as lenient
toward the possessors of wealth and power. In
every aspect that presents itself, this is calam-
tous verdict
