PLANTING CoHN.-The practice which
some farmers have fallen into Of planting
their corn crop before the first Of Nay, we
think is more honorod in the breach than
in the Observance The ground is usually
too cold and damp, and the seed stands
much greater chance of rotting before
there is warmth enough to make it gcrml-
nate, than at later period. The plea for
early planting, that there Will be abun-
dance of time to re-plant should there be
a failure, is not admissible, inasmuch as
our seasons are quite long enough to ripen
most of the varieties of corn grown in this
State, if put in the ground as late as the
25th Of the month, or even the first Of
June. We have seen excellent crops Of
Canada corn produced, which was planted

These three counties (now united with
ours in one Senatorial District comprise
the places of Gen. PACKERS nativity and

principles involved of higher Importance

PERSIA-CHINA.
From Our Own Correspondent.

From Our Own Correspondent.
LONDON, May %, 1851.
The English have Just concluded an Asiatc war,
and are entering upon another. The resistance Of
fered by the Persians and that which the Chinese
have so far opposed to British Invasion, form a
contrast worth our attention. la Persia, the
European system of military organization has
been engrafted upon Asatic barbarity; in China,
the rottUg semi civilization of the oldest State in
The world meets the Europeans with its own re-
sources Persia has been signally defeated, while
distracted half-dissOlved China has hit upon syS.
TEN of resistance which, if followed up, will render
impossible repetition of the triumphal marches of
the first AnglO-Chinese war.
Persia was in a state salilar TO that Of Turkey
during the war of 1889 against Russia. English,
French Russian officers had in turns tried their
hands at the organization of the Persian army.
One system had succeeded another and each in lis
turn bad been thwarted by the jealousy, the in-
trigues the ignorance, the cupldty and corruption
of the Orienals whom il 10 form into European
officers and soldiers. The new regular army had
never had an opportunity of trying It's organization
and strength in the field Its only exploits had been
confined to a few campaigns against Kurds, TurcO-
mans and Ahghans, where it served as a sort of nu-
cleus or reserve 10 the numerous irregular cavalry of
Persia. The latter did most OF the actual fighting;
the regulars had generally but to impose upon the
enemy by the demonstrative effect of their seem
ingly formidable arrays. AT ast the war with
England broke out
The English attacked Bushirc and met with
n gallant though ineffective resistance But the
men who fought at Bushire were not regulars; they
were composed of the irregular leNies OF the Per
sian and Arab inhabitants Of the coast. The regu-
lars were only concentrating sone sixty miles of,
IN the HIS A. last they advanced. The Anglo
Indian army met them half way; and, though the
Pcrsians used their artillery with credit 10 Them
selves, and formed tbcr squares on the most ap-
proved principles, single charge Of one single IN
dian cavalry regiment swept the whole Persian
army guards and line, from the field. And 10
know what these Indian regular cavalry are cOnsid
cred to be worth in their own service we have only
10 refer to Capt. Nolan'S book the subject
They are, among Auglo-lndian officers, considered
worse than useless, and far inferior TO the
irregular Anglo-Indan cavalry. Not single action
can Capt. Nolan End where they were creditably
engaged. And yet, these were the men, sM hundred
