SALE OF OUR PRESS.

Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock 10 the time sd-
vertised by tho U. S. Marshal for tho sale on our
premises, Of our new steam Cylinder Press, and
Steam Engine to satisfy the claim, nominally, OF
BEHAHIs 5. GARLAND, the slave catcher, We say
noninaliy, for 10 . matter Of fact, we understand
that the judgment and cost, If colected, are not
sufficient 10 pay the off GERS and attornies for their
services in behalf Of slave catching. We think that
men who intend to live in the free State of Wis.
consin and leave %posterity behind them ought to be
yell paid for such services as they have rendered
i'll behalf Of despotism. But should they get nothing
for their work, they would be worse of than we
are. For we have given six months time. and paid
$500 in defending these suits. in addition TO oil
Iannoyances growing out Of them. 1t has cost us 81
500 to 1000 which is ~ much as the attornies
Msrshalls and clerk will lose, if they get nothing
We feel a little curiosity to see who will bid OH our
press and engine under the following statute:
(See Sec. IL, Of the Personal Liberty Bill,
published in Bugle Of Feb. 28th.)
We take it that the tile to property sold under
this section, would not be very valid, if the owner
chose to contest it and that whoever bought IL and
attempted to remove it, would be subject not only
to an action of replevin, but to an action OF tres
pass
We are also curious to know who are ready to
volunteer to trample on the sovereignty and laws
of the State, for the benefit of negro-catchers, and
who has money to invest to carry on the business
of negro-hunting in Wisconsin,.
W thhi luh oh Jul INV - -
that our press can stand still and rest while tn,
sale takes place, unless the Marshal should reqnes
us to "get up steam" to show the bidders wha
the press can dc. Perhaps he will adjourn the salt
till the afternoon, 70 enable the proposed purcha
.ers to see US work off our afternoon edition, il
which case we shall be most happy to show off TIT
press to the best advantage. We can aesur
whoever buys it, that he will get a bargain. Tn
press is in frst.rate order, and works admirably
The renson we don't run it in the morning at tn
time of sale, is that 1t is inconveniont to do SO whe'
there are too many around. Az this is rather
novel sale of most desirable property, there is con
siderable curiosity in the community to lid on il

CUMBERLAND PREsBYTERIANS.
SECESSION CONVENTION.

Something more than a year ago, several minis
tiers of the Indiana Presbvtery Of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church withdrew from that body
on account of it's pro-slavery character. The i'm
mediate occasion Of their doing SO was the action
of that body in the case of Rev. L. Is. Mccormick.
who, it is alleged, had aided liz the escape of iugi
tive slaves. The seeding members formed an in
dependent presbytery.
This presbytery;a t its recent meeting in Indiana,
adopted a circular addessed TO the anti-slavery
members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church,
and others as follows:
"To the Antislavery ministers and members Of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. and all 9TH
ers Interested;
Dear Brethren;-The undersigned, all of whom
either have been or now are ministers in, or men,
bers of, the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, adj
dress you this circular, inviting you TO meet them
in convention at shaking Prairie, Knox County, In
diana, on the Friday preceding the first Sabbath in
Jrne, 1857 at 2 o'clock p then and there to agree
upon a basis upon which we would be willing to
unite with the Congregational Church.
The reasons which Induce US to address you this
circular are two:
/. Tho Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
through the General Assembly which met in Pitts
burgh Pa. in 1851. declared that Slavery should
not DO a bar to communion" This resolution vir.
tually declares that TO reduce a human being to the
condition Of o ohattel, and to continue to hold him
in that condition. in which he may be bought, sold,
and mortgagcd. bartered and traficked, as an ar
tiole of merchandise, OF willed like real estate, is
not sinful, and should not constitute a bar to COM
munion.
We connot but regard this action Of the Assem-
bly, as dcmoralising, and we'll calculated to bring
Christianity into disrepute. We farther express
the belief that there is no bore or prospect that th'

Where ground is cold and wet, ard co ,se-
quenty contains decayed vegetable mater,
alkal;es, such as new Stacked lime, or un-
leachcd ashes are highly valuable. In
soils not abounGing already in the sulphate
of iron and sulphuric acid in some form,
plaster of paris is an excellent fertilizer, as
it-so to speak-catches ammonia from
the air and from rain water, and thus sup
plies wheat with one CT its best stimulants.
BMn-yard manures of all kinds are always
good. We recommend less rotting or
tomposting than is isusually practiced. Let
the manure, even to the long straw. be
kept from fermenting, and get it under
the surface, where it will, without fail, de-
day gradually, and furnish just the nour-
ishment needed. If this is done there will
not be a waste of the greater part of the
best elements which are usually lost in the
rotting process.
Clover plowed under when at its full
growth, and while still green, is one of the
very best fertilizers for wheat. When clo-

Where undcr-d draining is not already
