GENERAL WHITFIELD-KANsAs.-"An
Observer" Washington correspondent Of
the Richmond Enquirer, makes mention Of
Gen. Whitfield, the legally chosen delegate
from Kansas Territory, as follows:
The regular delegate from that Territory,
General Whitfield, is here, and seems one of
the most unconcerned spectators of the contest
which shadows forth the struggle that is to a.
rise over his own right to a seat in Congress.
Indeed, he avows that he "cares not fig how
the question is decided, so far as his own per-
sonal interests are effected )" that if unseated,
he "can 60 back on his own claim in Kansas,
and then the trouble will begin" He thinks
there may be blood shed in the present diff
culties, and he thinks there certainly will be
if Congress adopts the State Constitution Of
the anti-slavery party in Kansas, and admits
that Territory as free State. He declares
that now is the time for the South to save Kan
sas-that unless enough Southern men go
there during the winter and spring to counter
mine the northern emigration, the Southern
party will be overruled. The abolitionists are
making strenuous efforts to secure an ascendan-
cy in Kansas, and will succeed in so doing un-
less the South sustains her friends in that
quarter. Whitfield is a bold, resolute fellow,
somewhat upon the CROUCH and ready" order,
and well qualified, we should think, to be a
leader in such struggle as that Of which
Kansas is the arena. But enough.

doubt, innumerable locationsa all over the State
where the surface is parched, so as to preclude
vegetable production, whilst the simple ope-
ration of breaking up the subsoil would, with
in few inches, release deposit of moisture
which would gladly rise to the sunlight, and
relieve the unsightly sterility above. A uni
form system of shallow plowing has tcnden
cy to create crust upon the bottom of the fur
row, which is extremely prejudicial to vegeta-
tion, and, aside from the mechanical effects
upon the soil, resulting from subsoiling, the
chemical action produced by the introduction
of atmospheric influence below the surface soils
and the gradual exposition Of their locked up
ingredients tothis influence, is extremely bene-
fetal.
When we have depth of earth bronken up
and properly pulverized, it is reasonable that
even if it is what is termed poor, it will, by al
lowing wider range to the roots of cultivated
crops, greatly increase their production. The
practical examples of the rampant production
of weeds and berries requiring good soil to
induce luxuriant groWth-which are to be seen
on the clays thrown upand exposed on our rail
road lines, is convincing proof that despssed red
clay itself is rich in fertility, when subjected to
the proper treatment. Clays, too, hold in SO,
luton, with so much tenacity, the essentials Of
fertilizers, that it is always extremely profitable
to deepen such soils in the progress of improve.
ments by mauuring. The operation of sub
soilingi is simple, and if properly done, always
effective of beneficial results on any soil. We
believe it essential to all soils, and, from expe
riments, intend to extend our operations in this
line, until every foot of land we cultivate is
subsoiled and when we have accomplished
this, we will commence again, and add few
inches more to the depth Of our soil by repeat
ing the operation.

KIND WORDS.

Kind words cost but little. Any one but a
confirmed cynic ought to be able to dispense
them at pleasure. They make nobody the
poorer. Like the widows cruise, the stock
need not be exhausted even by constant using
yea, better than the widows cruise, the stock
increases the more it is drawn from the foun-
tain. A kind heart, which is the only true
source of kind words, is a perennial stream
No winters cold can freeze it, no summers
drought can dry it up. Through all seasons it
pours out its life-giving flood, making glad and
green whatever it touches, gurging and eddy
ing round with inward joy because of its off,
ces oflove. One would think that kind words
diffusing gladness, as they do, through the
hearts of both donors and receivers, would be
the common currency in life's intercourse
Even the employer, who has hundreds at his
beck and call, might afford to lay aside his O.
rental majesty, sufficient to speak to his under
lings word Of recognition journeymen and

VALUE OF POETS, ARTISTS AND
THINKERS,

1t is blessing for people to have among
them great men, especially thinkers, poets and
artists, who enlarge the scope of thought, graft
fy and cultivate higher taste, and stimulate to
generous efforts by a glorious example. 1t is
happiness to have something of our own to
admire and revere, something to inspire US
with noble and disinterested emotion. A ma
ton without intellectual guides and superiors,
composed of mere workers in physical things
for physical good people given up to ignor-
ance, selfshness and sensuality, with none a.
mong them to point the way to loftier objects
were sorry sight Foreign supply of
thoughts lot enough. 1t is the home manufac-
ture which rouses effort, and gives animation
to industry. We cannot have that healthful
influence of work unless we work. The sweat
of labor is wholesome, and honor is with those
who fight the battle, not with those who idely
enjoy the fruits of victory. Our race has added
many names to the company Of gifted spirits
who have taught and delighted mankind, and
doubtless, in these vast fields of promise to
which it has been transplanted, the descen-
dants of those among whom Shakspere and
Bacon lived and moved will prove their no.
bility of birth. Amid the dead materialism,
the narrow minded and ignoble devotion to
coarse utility and common place and barren
thought and talk, and moral depravity of the
day, indications are not wanting of better
and brighter future. A national literature is
springing up in the track of our prosperous in
dustry, as the browning harvest rises after the
plough and industry of man-as the tasteful
villa succeeds the log cabin of the forest far
mer. Men of genius are appearing among us
poets and philosophers are slowly winning
the ear of our own people, and who command
the admiration of the best audiences of Europe.
Let us cherish them, for they are needed
They make the country healthful and habit
able. They will do more for us in all true
progress than farmers and engineers, than bu-
siness men, than politicians and attorneys-at-
law. They will yield nobler profits than rail-
roads and telegraphs, and weave finer fabrics
than Lowell factories can turn out.

RUSSIAN PLAN OF THE NEXT CAMPAIGN

RUSSIAN PLAN OF THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
Moscow, Dec. 20, 1S55.-It was amusing
enough for an impartial observer to witness
the excitement that prevailed in this ancient
capital of Muscovy on the receipt of the In
valide with General Mouravief's dispatches
about the surrender of Kars, for the inhabi-
tants of this city, in their ignorance, firmly
believe their favorite Mouravief-who belongs
to the old Muscovite party-to have achieved
most brilliant victory, and covered himself
with glory, and cannot see the difference be-
tween taking fortress by storm and waiting
passively at distance till the garrison are OBJ
liged to surrender for want of food. The Mus
covite or war party are loud in expressing their
enthusiasm, and extolling the present Emper-
or's foresight and sagacity at superceding
Count Woronzoff, and giving the supreme COM
mand of the army in the Caucasus to General
Mouravieff, from whom they expect great
things. Their great object is now no other
than to get him the command Of the army in
the Crimea, vice Prince Gortschakof, and to
effect this various intrigues are being spun and
different important influences called into play,
which have their ramifcations at St. Peters
burg amongst the very highest personages in
the empire. In spite of the flaming imperial
"orders of the day." so industriously spread
by the Northern Bee, and praising the state
of the army in the Crimea, it is no secret here
that the Gar was most deeply affected at what
he saw with his own eyes, and on his return
here expressed his astonishnent that after the
immense losses they had sustained, and the
almost incredible privations to which the sur
vivors were exposed, there should be any army
left at all.
The grand council Of generals lately convok.
ed at St. Petersburg, under the personal presi-
dcncy of the Emperor, have settled the prin-
ciples on which the forthcoming campaign shall
be carried on. St. Petersburg and Moscow
are to be fortified, and, together with Warsaw,
will form the three first class fortresses of the
empire.

WHEN we are young, we are slavishly en-
ployed in procuring something whereby we
may live comfortably when we grow old; and
when we are old, we perceive it is too late to
live as we proposed. So said learned author
100 years ago. And is the world any wiser
yet? Not much, if any. 1t is still the grab
game all over. "Get money if you can, hon
cstly. At all evcnts-get money" Pretty les
son this, with allour would be moral principles
blushing around our necks. But these we con-
trive to hide in our pockets, and only parade
them at Church on Sunday. The poet talks
something about "Man's inhumanity to man."
How pious we goit at church, too! But let
us not despair-the world is on the mend,
however slow.

his antagonist, who had snecringy remarked
that fortunately the Americans could't go

RG-A good old dame was playing her dis
taft, and listening devoutly to her daughter
reading the Bible at her side. She was read
ing in the book of Genesis, and being not
yet perfect in the art she would now and

read, stammeringly, these words :-'Now these
eight did Micah bore"
What, what's that?' said the old lady,
