Special Dispatch to The N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Thursday, Dec. 4, 1856.
In the Senate to-day the question came up on
the motion to print the Presidents Message.
Mr.. Wade of Ohio dissected the corrupt instru
ment with great boldness, confusing the Black
Democracy and astounding the crowded galleries.
He was followed in characteristic speech by
Mr.. Butler Of S. c., in defense Of the President.
Mr.. Fessenden of Me. then addressed the Senate
in review of the Message. 1t was an effort, for
close reasoning, power of argument, elegance OF
dictiop, and prompt accuteness In disposlng OF IN
terrogatories, which has not been surpassed In the
Senate. He gave the Senate and the South notice
that needless of their threats to dissolve the Unlon
or any threat they might make, the Republican
marty wonld now and at all times, as it has done in
the past. oppose the extension of Slavery into the
Free Territories of the United States, and to the
bitter end, if necessary.
Mr.. BENJAMIN of La moved to adjourn, and ha
the floor on Monday, to which time the Senate ad'
journed.
The House continued to fillbuster on the adnis-
>sion of Gen. Whitfield. The Yeas and Nays were
called four times on motions to adjourn Inc nrs'
was the only test vote and stood: For Whtheid
l02; against, l07.
Humphrey Marshall of Ky. called for the reading
Of the Presidents Message
Nir. Grow of Pa. objected, and objection being
made the Message could not be read.
Mr.. Marhall appealed from the decision of the
Chair, ON the ground that it his constitutional
right to hear any communication the President
might be pleased to make. He proceeded to de-
bate, which was declared TO be out of order; and
the appeal was stifed in motion to adjourn unit.

Long Boots for Ladies.

Some OF the eastern papers tell rs that
long boots for ladies are becoming the fash
ion. That is right. Fashion for once is
III accord with common seuse, particularly
if We are ever to have another winter like
the last. A neat boot is handsomer than
any shoe, and much more preservative of
health, in cold or wet weather. They can
be made neatly and ornamented, aud then
the next fashion lie to be shorter skirts and
dresses. The empress Eugene, it is said,
Will come out in such dress as soon as
she sis able to get about" and then the
fan daughters of America must do it. Not
Bloomerite dress is meant, but merely u
dress that will not drag on the ground, and
catch up all the dust and mud within its
reach. A decided Improvement that, and
We hope it will be adopted at once, partic-
ularly the boots, with good substantial
soles. They will be "life preservers' uu-

Care and Study in Farming.

There is hardly an occupation among
men, in which the extremes of careful and
of careless management are more widely
separated, than in the profession of Agri-
culture and as a natural result, the labors
of agriculturists meet with every grade of
varying success, from failure to fortune.
TIE business of manufacturing and Of
trading is carried on with skill, carefulness,
and economy; for they who engage in it
know that they must be shrewd and eau.
tious, or they will fail and be ruined. The
business of cultivating the soil, as gene
raj rule and which admits of too few ex-
ceptions, is conducted in manner SO loose
ly, uneconomically, and even indolently,
that Nature, which affords the materials
of agriculture, though it is really richer
than Art on which manufacturers chiefly
rely, will not yield her fruits with SO great
abundance, or so rapid increase.
Agriculture summons more science to
its aid than any other common pursuit.
Its roots extend into almost every field Of
learning. It levies simultaneous tax
upon chemistry, geology, minerology, bot
any, meteorology, and upon all the arts
and sciences that blend with these. 1t is
therefore most successfully pursued only
when diligently and deeply studied.
Theories Of practice, without practice it.

four feet space, and fourteen, three feet;
and three small shovelfulls of the best fine

soil for each hill. Plant@ one row,
five feet wide at the base, May S0th, one

which was cut into "a pieces and placed
in the % hills, three inches deep. One
month after, the soil was carefully broken
half an inch deep with the back of a rake,
to kill the weeds in the sun one week
after that the soil was thrown around the
plants, covering the sets about four inches
more. A few weeds were picked out dur
ing the summer, (the tops kept most of
them out of sight, and no foot trampled
around the plauts) On the 22d of Octo-

A MARTYR FOR LIBERTY.

The murder of Brown, in Kansas, will
be remembered as one of the bloodiest out
RACES yet committed during the struggle in
that Territory Brown was from Browns
vile, Cass county, Mich. The following
letter, from his bercavcd wife, has been
published in a Michigan paper:
LnAvENwoRTu CRY, X. T., Jan. -, 1856.
Ny DEAR FATHER: l never expected
to be called to write to you under SO great
affllction. My dear husband has been very
active in the cause of Liberty, ever since
we came into the Territory. His bold and
manly course, won the respect ard conf
dcnce of the friends of 4 Free State, and
he was elected Member of the Legisla-
ture On the other hand, the hatred of
the Pro- Slavery party was very strong
against him. He was engaged in the de-
fense of the City of Lawrence during the
war in that region. lie, also, with two
or three others, rushed into the midst of
mob and rescued a Free State man they
were cruelty beating. On the 17th inst,
he, with several others, went two miles to
attend an election; an armed mob thought
to break up the election, but were repulsed.
The next day my husband and his friends
were coming home, when they were met
by large band of armed men, who stop
ped them and made them prisoners. They
were all carried back to the place of cleo
ton, and there the others were let 20, but
they determined to Kill hint-and then
some of them fell upon him with u hatchct,

time he was in dying state-he was not
able to tell us much about his cruel treat

He said 81 am not afraid to die; if l have
done wrong in any way, hope God will
forgive me die in good cause ; l am
sorry to part with you aud our little child,
but want you to meet me in Heaven y
He breathed his last the same night, and
on the next Sabbath was buried. One of

sgWc make the following extract, on
the condition and prospects of the agricul-
tural community, from the Commercial
article of the New York Independent for
last week. We only fear that it is some
what too strong as to the enthusiasm for
farming which prevails in many parts of
the country. But it doubtless indicates a
happy change in that respect, which is ta-
king place in the more advanced sections,
and which we have reason to hope may
become general, until the Oldest and most
important of all human occupations de-
serves and receives the respect which is
theoretically its due. To complete the
proper view of the subject, We add some
less eulogistic truth from another article
in the agricultural column of the same pa
per, on "Care and Study in Farming"
The agricultural department of the hide
pendent, which has just been introduced,
breathes the same life and energy, which,
in its general conduct, have raised that pa

journals Of the land. We are much mis-

Woods Hair Restorative,

THERE are plenty Of young Gentlemen, as

turning gray, which gives the former good deal:
of uneasiness, and exposes the age Of the latter;
To avoid these little pepexities we advise such Of
our readers to use Prof WOODS HAIR RES
TORATIVE, which will, in the course Of few
weeks, change the white hair to its natural color,
1t does not dye the haIr like the most of the Hair
Rstoratves. but produces gradual change Of color
from the roots Of the hair to the final end and gives
it fine and glossy appearance. We have seen
many persons who have used It successfully and
pronounced it the only invention which hos come up
to their idea Of "cure for gray heads" We
commenced using it about two months since, and If
we are any Judge Of age and beauty, it has made
US at least ten years youngerin fact, We are begin
ming to look quite young, and feel very much like
getting young wife. The change is miraculous;
and it would be as difficult to find gray hair now
as it would he to find an idea in the head Of the
Duke Of Buckingham. We know several old
maids and some young widows, whose locks are
just beginning to assume silvery hue, and who
have been talking seriously about resorting to this
remedy and we advise them not TO delay any lont
