on THE CHANGE ON SEED.

A writer on Scotch Agriculture, treating
Of barley, says: The desire to change seed
is not so general as formerly indeed, some
districts rarely do it. There are, undoubt.
eddy, facts showing the beneficial effects Of
changing seed but where the condition of
the land is maintained, and the crops pro.
perly ripened, the necessity of the change Of
seed may be doubted, On one farm in Mid
Lothian. the same barley has been raised
without change for forty years, and in favor
able seasons this grain has reached the ex-
traordinary weight Of 60 lbs. per bushel. II
is our opinion, that when die land is well
titled and manured, the seed good to begin
with, seasonably sown, harvested and taken
care Of, there is no advantage, as a general
thing, but rather a disadvantage resulting
from the changing Of field and garden seeds,
whether grains, beans, peas. bulbs or roots.
Propagate from the best, is the maxim al
ways TO be needed. Barley that weighed
60 lbs per bushel will make stronger and
more vigorous plants than that weighing but
80 lbs. Like begets like" is an old and
and true maxim.
Hence, let the farmer 90 through his
wheat fields and select the largest and best
filled heads for seed, and continue this for a
series of years, and he will thus essentially
increase the yield per acre. So of maize,
oats and rye. The farmer should select his
seed corn in this way, and never from the
crib, for in the latter case it may have thus
impaired its vitality or destroyed it entirely.
A gardener for several years pursued a
similar course with beans. selecting only the
longest pods for seed. and by so doing great.
| " increased the yield, as every year pro-
dnced relatively larger proportion Of long
pods well filled.
Hence it being true, that good qualities
are transmissible not less Than bad ones. il
is ofthe first importance that YOU have good
seed. Having made sure Of this, there is no
necessity for changing seed, incurring the
danger &c introducing foul seed into your
grounds. Would that farmers and gardeners
might practice these hints and save their own
seed, as indicated, rather than use the
I gltanings. as is too often done, especially
With graden products.
OF the common Scotch barley, the variety
called Che,clier i the best. having pro-
dueed 20 bushels per acre, GO lbs. per
bushel.

changes says: that in budding trees with

Mount yernon-mr. Everett.

Although called home suddenly from South
Carolina, Mr.. EVERETT has not relinquished
his Southern tour. We learn from the Lynch
burg Virgdaian of the 27th ult. that he will
deliver his WASHINGTON LECTURE in that place
tonight, (the 4th of May,) and repeat it at
Lexington on the 9th inst. In late number
of the Richmond Enquirer, forwarded to Mrs.
F. b. FoGG, of this city, by the Regent of the
Ladies' Mt. Vernon Association, Miss Gun
NINGHAM, we find the following correction:
ERROR CONCERNING MR.. EvERETT's TOUR COR
RECTED.
1t was announced in the Dispatch of yester-
day, that s'Mr. Everett has given up his South
ern tour" This statement we believe to be
a mistake, and our opinion is based upon Mr..
Everett's own declarations to us when he
passed through Richmond a faw days ago.
Mr.. Everett expects certainly to return to Vir-
ginia and fulfill all his postponed engage
ments here, during the month of May. He
will also make an effort to meet some of his
other engagements South of Mason and Dix
on's line, and may possibly journey West.
The lateness of the season will force him to
relnquish his trip to Mobile or New Orleans.
1t was with great reluctance that he aban-
doned the golden harvest for Mount Vernon
that he was rapidly reaping in the Southern
STATES DuJ the voice Oh UOHleStlc UuY suIl-
moned him, and Edward Everett is the last
man in the world to turn deaf ear to the
call of that ''stern lawgiver."
As the season is too far advanced for Mr.
EVERETT to visit Mobile and New Orleans as
contemplated, it would be proper for the
friends of the cause here to endeavor to pre-
vail upon him to come to Nashville from the
Western part of Virginia. With Railroad
all the way, the trip would be pleasant, and
but little time consumed.
We also find the following article in the
Enquirer:
HEARTY RESPONSE OF New YORK TO THE
: MT. VERNON MovEMENT.-We quote the fol-
lowing from a letter written by highly in
fluential New York gentleman 10 the Vice
Regent of Virginia after the publication of
the Regents letter, announcing that the con-
tract with Mr.. Washington was signed:
1--WE propose to employ ourselves promptly
and actively in this work. We cannot permit
even our glorious and unapproachable Everett
to monopolize the honor of raising all the
money. New York must possess at least its
share Of the sacred relics!
"How the heart warns and expands amid
the wretched pigmy strife of local factions at
the Capital over the God-liKe work of re-
uniting the nation at the hallowed sepulchre /!
How it gladdens the Utmost soul to feel, that
at last the Union holds Mount Vernon firmly in IFS
grasp!
do You know that our dear. high spirited
women here think that the thrty-one States
should unite and raise at once the lctole fUe hun
dre3 thousand dollars mentioned in your act of
incorporation as the amount of capital stock
allowed to the Mount Vernon Ladies' Asso-
citation? They dream already of decorating
the grounds with the vistas of statues; and,
with loving faith. see an American PAN

had occurred in England, Brigham Young
would have been held to a account by the
Government. For utterance of this senti-
ment Jarvis became at once the object of
cruel persecution. The Destroying Angels
burned his house, robbed him and dragged
him out by the hair of his head He was
obliged to.fy for his life, abandoning all his
property of every description.
The condition of the female portion of the
community at Salt Lake is represented as
most deplorable. Large numbers of them
feel deeply the degradation of their position,
and look forward with joy, even to death. as
a means of release. When the army shall
have reached the Valley, Mr.. Loba believes
that the greater portion of the female Saints
will avail themselves of the protection thus
afforded them, and abandon Mormondon-
Many of these will do so because of their
sufferings. notwithstanding they still MAIN
tain faith in the doctrine of the Saints. while
large number will because of their intense
disgust of the whole affair. i have thus given
you few of the prominent facts and sug
gcstions derived from nv intelligent in

me Kansa. Compromise.

The bin from the Conference Committee,
reported by Mr.. ENGLISH, and published in the
PATRIOT of last Thursday morning, was, on
Friday, concurred in by the House of Repre-
sentatives, and also by the Senate. The vote
in the House was liz to 103 in the Senate,
81 to %. 1t now needs only the signature of
the President TO give it the authority of law.
Thus passes the Kansas question out of Con-
gress. We trust that it is also the end of it
there; and that the country may now be
brought to consider questions of moment 10 her
interests and welfare which have been over
Swallowed by this convenient source of agita-
ton and embodiment. We apprehenI, how
ever, that the abolition and freesoil dema-
gogues, and their allies will exert themselves to
induce the people of Kansas to reject the pro-
position rendered them. and thus keep open
the controversy until 1t shall give them the
advantages they expect to spring from contin-
ued agitation in the next Presidential election.
Bat if the people of Kansas are wise-if they
are not willing to sacrifice their private in
terests, for the promotion of scheming politi-
cians-tbey will not be lured into rejection
of the chances of early admission, with the
stable government and repose accruing there
from. They have long enough suffered the
evils flowing from the counsels of wicked men
men who have, from the start, been led OH
by the will to rule or ruin-and we cannot be-
lieye they are willing to continue under such
state of things. We shall soon see, how
ever.

no south; but the United States is to him the
home of the free and the land of the brave
no matter whether he stands on the cotton
fields of Texas or in the grand old woods of
Maine.
1.-THE German population of Missouri, espe-
cially st. Louis, has contributed very largely
to the discussions of the economical relations
of slavery, and those discussions are now pro-
duclng their Legitimate fruit in the revolu-
tionizing of the entire State, across which the
fres OF freedom, are now sweeping with re-
sistless force and power. 1t is conceded by
the pro-slavery press of ST Louis, that the
Germans have succeeded in bringing the ques-
ton Of slavery or freedom before the people
of Missouri in such form, that it will have
to be decided for one or the other at the next
election. But, it is not alone in Missouri that
the German element is making itself felt in
the cause of freedom. In Western Texas the
Germans not only openly discussing the
question of freedom or slavery, but by grow
ing cotton of superior quality, by their own
free labor. they are demonstrating the fact of
the adaptability of free white labor to the
growth Of Southern products, and thus to its
ability to enjoy the fairest portions of this
great continent, which orr old political econ
onists have delighted in representing, as only
fit for the habitation of the Negro slave and
his wealthy and indolent master.
'In Baltimore also, German paper, called
the Baltimore Decker. openly opposes slave
~. While in New Orleans. where several
papers openly preach disunion. the Deutsche
Zet,ulg, daily Journal warmly commends
the position of the Republican party on the
Kansas question, and openly espouses its prin-
ciples.
But it is in st. Louis, that the Germans are
particularly bold and ouspollen. There they
have long fought, and successfully, the battles
of freedom"
! We put these facts to the South, with the
| inquiry, how much longer they mean to shut
their eyes to this foreign food of their enemies
| nay, welcoming the stream with open arms?
We especially put them to the people of Ten
nessee 1nasmuch as they have paper in their
midst, the Union and american, which in apol-
ogizing for the abolitionism of foreigners, has
| coolly asked if foreigners were not entitled 10
freedom of thought, and might not as well be
abolitionists natives!
