Occupations.

Men should be respected, not for their

virtue, intelligence and usefulness. As

useful, honest calling, can detract from the
merits Of n man. a person should be rs
much respected and valued in one a. in

Acquittal of Jim Lane.

The Kansas correspondent Of the Gin.
cinnati Gazette, a free negro paper, writes
as follows concerning the late acquitlal of
the notorious Free State leader in Kansas.
Though this result was not unexpec.
ted, yet it has excited great indignation
IN the better and more intelligent class Of
the community, for they know Just Eow
the case was made out; but the rowdies,
who are all Lanes friends, are in great
glee.
The cause Of the quarrel between Lane
and Jenkins, arising from the disputed
land claim, WAS carefully kept out Of this
investigation by Lanes counsel, and, it
must be confessed, that without this, the
case appears much better for Lane; but
to those who know how he provoked this
quarrel, by making vexatious claim ia
land to which he had no title, how lie
tried TO compel Jenkins by threats and
otherwise to compromise and give him
half Of it, and how, when he found it
was impossible to frighten Jenkins into
any compromise, he finally provoked him
into hostile attitude, where he could get
an excuse for killing him. To those who
know all this, it appears az most delibe
rate murder.
He knew there was no possibility of
making any arrangement with Jenkins ;
with him bis case was hopeless, but may
not be so with his administrators or rep,
resentatives.

table to all who are in the habit Of dry
ing this excellent and desirable fruit for
table use. A lady friend Of the writer
has found it out and communicated it to
him, and he will here describe It. Make
a tolerable strong iye with wood ashes, bv
boiling them in water; letting it stand
after Deing boiled sufficiently until the
ashes settle to the bottom, when pour off
the Iye. Then put the peaches to De
dried in this, wdrm, but not hot enough
to cook them any; and rub them in
while. Then take them out and wash
them in clear cold water. This process
will take all the .ttlrze entirely off, and
leaves them as slick and smooth as nee.
tarines, with nothing but thin skin on
them. They cut off and dry as usual
Peaches dried in this way will be found
to be very sweet, and have all the advan-
tages OF not losing any by the usual pro.
less of peeling--as the sweetest part of
fruit is generally that next the peeling.-

SAVE TouR TREES FROM CASKER Work.
We observe that these destructive iu.
sects have begun their ravages in various
neighborhoods. A gentleman, in whom
we have the utmost confidence, informs
us that they may be destroyed in this
simple manner. Take mop upon the
end OF pole, dip it in tar, set fire 20 it,
and hold il under the tree when the wind
is still or when it is blowing gently,
so that the smoke from burning tar shall
pass thoroughly through the branches

DIR. L. b. MERCER.
The above extract brings to the con.
siJeration Of the Southern people, one of
the most important subjects to be found
in the volume Of agricultural philosophy.
II is subject eminently worthy the pro-
foundest minds, and should create more
fear in the ranks Of our people than any
other subjec:- Northern aggression not
excepted. The system of agriculture in
the South is doing more than any and
al. other causes to pull down our peculiar
institution No man who will reflect as
he should upon the subject, can help from
arriving at the conclusion, that our sys
tenn Of agriculture must be changed, or
we are, beyond all question, a ruined peo.
pie. Thousands OF plantations have been
brought from the woods into cultivation
within :he last SO years, and ,corn out,
and its owner forced TO ieaye il or starpe.
We speak Of things that we know, and
testify of things that we have seen'-no
may be so about tit is Gods truth.
And if plantation has been exhausted in
the short space Of a few years, and the
occupants have absolutely been driven
from them to keep from starving; will not
the same cause produce the same effect
upon all the land in cultivation in the
South ;hat is subject to deterioration, and
that, too, in the life time of some that
live?
Oh, let us, for goodness sake, change
our system Of plantation economy. Let
us quit moving. Let the planters Of the
old co:!on growing districts, as have
elsewhere remarked, feel themselves at
home Let them fill up the old gullies, i'm
prove the old red hills. prune the old orch
ard, improve the old homestead, enjoy
the society of old friends, visit the old
moss-covered church, in whose yard slum-
bers the remains of long departed friends.
Then, and not until then, will the South
begin TO grow stronger, and her institution
placed upon an immoyeable basis.
