crit is stated, in letters from Wash
ington, that our worthy minister to
Spain, Augustus Caesar Dodge, has made
no communications to the Government
for more than six months, though very
important events, such as the Mexican
imbroglio-in which our country had a
deep interest -has been transpiring
around him. Avery good reason, how
ever, is assigned for his silence; he does
not understand enc word of Spanish,
and knows no more than the man in the
moon what is really going On in Madrid;
and il he did have somo comprehension
of the course Of events under his nose,
not having been much accustomed to
letter writing, aud having but adeficient
knowledge Of the English language, he
could not communicate it, and he pru.
IDENTIFY keeps silent, and leaves the world
to 'fotm its own opinion Of his abilities.
As its estimate cannot be below the act
uil standard Of his powers, he is safe
from loss Of any just reputation, with a
fair chance 70 gain by an cverestimate.

SALE OF LAxps.-At the Commission.
er's sale, on Monday last, OF the lands o
the late R. B. Atkinson. opposite to us, |
in Henderson county, Kentucky. the
home farm. containing 230 acres, was
sold for $45 pr acre, aud was purchased
by jackson McClaip, Esq. The tract on
the road from this city to Henderson
was sold for $40 per acre. and was pur-
chased by F. E. Walker. Esq. We very
frequently hear comparisons made be-
tween the values OF land in slave and /,
free States, and an opinion is prevalent
that the difference is in favor of the free
States. where lands have the same rela-
tive advantages Of location and soil.
This sale. and many Others that come
daily under observation, show that lands
of equal value intrinsicaIly bring higher
price in Kentucky, than in the other
States opposite to it on the Ohio river.
The price paid for these lands is from Is
to 80 per cent higher than similar lands
would bring on this side of the river.
We do not know how to account for the
fact, except that there is stronger de-
sire to invest in lands-and more money
seeking investment in that form in Ken
lucky than in Indiana Lands and me-
groes are the chief objects Of desire with
Kentuckians. With us. the passion is to
run into trade, manufacturing. specula-
ting and the pursuits Of mechanical in
dustry. Farming for Us is too hard
work and too slow process to make q
fortune. The Kentuckians have q sub
ject race to do part Of the labor, and
they take the world easier and are not
in such haste to be rich; and agriculture
suits their tastes and habits. Though
apparently slower in the race for wealth,
they manage to come out nearly even
with US in the end.
