SENATOR BUTLER OF SOI,ru CAROLYN.
This gcnemans speech, in,repy to Summers gross
assault upon himself and his State. illustrates tbs
vigor Of his mind and the purity of his heart. Com
pete and conclusive i'll argument Astounding in
sharp aud severe hits, rising sometimes to the pitcb
of the loitieet invectvc, and again swelling into
strains of softer eoquence, ih. speech will survive
among the masterpieces OF senatorial debate. We
never read any performance of the sort with such
unalloyed satisfaction; for there is no blemsh of
mean spirit or vulgar wit to deface its beauty. Il is
animated throughout by that high and chyalrc senti.
ment which is inseparaby associated with the name
of Butler.
Unless Summers guilty soul be incapable of any
pang of rcnorse, ne must hang his head in shame
when he reads thin lofty rebuke from one the hem OF
whose garment he is not worthy to touch In respect
even Of rhetorical merit, Summers display Of pnch-
beck aud puste loses its lustrs beside the genuine aud
solid excellence nf Scuacr Buffers speech. We re-
greet sincerely tina: its length excludes it from our co
lumns. The reuder will appreciate the nadcquacy OF
our praise.

TO TIE MEMBERS OF THE AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY OF VIRGINIA, NOW IN SESSION
IN THIS CITY.


Permit me to make a suggestion or two in relation
to the classification made Of the "CaHis," designed
nr exhibition at the Agricultural Fair. Under the
fourth c:ass," styled "nntives grades" by the
classification adopted, is included "ua,ive stock or
crosses of any OF the foregoing breeds" tmeaning
short horns Durhams and Heretords,' "Devons
and Alderneys," "Ayrshires and Hostens,' y with
the native stock 'rnh zach Othcr. Now, in regard
the u! any ot tn. foregoing upon the na;iv-
stock. there appers obvious propriety in the cas
sitcation bat in case OF cross ri,a each other for
example, short.iIorn Durham with an ..y.shre, IN
AIderney with a Devon, or 4 khriai with a halt
Durham and half Ayrshire, ard vice versa, there
seems in the judgment OF the writer good reason
why they should be cassed v ith the grades. This
term grade is intended 10 convey the idea OF inferior
ay of blood. Experience has shown that by repeat
I'd crosses we have au improved and the very best
stock. Where there is concentration OF Go"a ooou,
thorough, far it goes OF two or Gil Vi tne os'
,iuguished breeds, Which would certainly lead to I'M
provement ought these TO occupy in the scale the
same position as crades' II seems to the writer not
and that there should be an additional class styled
mircd bLood to conradstingush 1t from the cross OF
the thoroughbred upon the native stock. For my
own part had rather have tbs product of cross be-
tween a Durham and Ayrshire than OF two genuine
Durbams and two genuine Ayrshres. These objec-
ons to the printed classification have occurred othe
mind of the writer, which he respectfully submits to
III. consideration OF the society. A MEMBER.
