THE NExr FA1M-We have received a copy of
the pamphlet annually issued by our Virginia
North Western Agricultural Society, which
contains their list of premiums and the names
of their awarding committees. We find that
one or two members of the press here have
been placed on committees. As, for instance,
there's ourself We arc expected to lead gang
of about eleven members of the female persua-
sion around over the Fair Grounds in the pur-
suit of household manufactures. Only think of
us as Chairman ola committee of eleven women,
engaged in adjudicating upon BEST Counter

Thgt's position as is position for you.
Our good natnred neighbor of the Times, he,
too, is placed high up in the pictures. He, in
company with Col LoriDg, (the pen is mightier
than the sword, however, and half score OF
"5frs." is expected to pass upon Assorted Con-
fectioneries, French Cake, Cucumber Catsup,
and Pickles of three kinds" We're told he's
great on the latter, besides being some on
Preserved Green Corn, Peas and other vege.
tables" We knon he'll do justice to all exhi-
bitors, and stand breakwater against the
crushing OUT prejudices of the females, one
towards another.
Our heavy cotemporary, next door, arm in
arm with the Rev. pastor of ST. Matthew's
Church, leads nine females ina philosophical
inspection. of the mysteries of Crochet Work,
Wax Flowers, Bonnet Trimmings. To our GER
tain knowledge, our contemporary has lately
devoted much Of his leisure in the investigation
of such subjects, and the appointment is moth.

An interesting time may he expected during
the session of the three committees above
named. We suggest that during the time they
are in session the price ofndmission be doubled.

SwmL MIX VIEW OF WuEELiNa,-The
Weston H6ral1, one of the miserable, half
starved, swill milk weeklies of the Red Wpmus
their beters, has an article this week disparag-
ing the claims of Wheeling as site for the
Trans.Aileghany Lunatic Asylum. Listen to
one of the chief reasons of the backwoods dun.
derpate, VINO edits it He says:
We may not be permitted, at present, in
charging that overt acts of treason to the South
have occurred in Wheeling, but do charge
that Black Republicanism is vociferatcd in mid
day in its streets and that Black Republican
sheet Eliminates, in said town, its illusions
hostile to slavery. Looking at the social and
political condition of Wheeling we assert, the
State would not be doing justice to herself to
locate State IGStitution there.
As soon as the Insane Asylum may be butt,
a crib should by all means be fitted up for the
murky headed genius of tho Weston Herald.

some forty or more armed ''rowdes, - who, during
the entire night of Monday, the 10Th of April, with
out let or hindrance from the police, in the same
street and within less than three squares distance
from the private residence of the Mayor surrounded
his door, fired shots through his windows and
warned him by threats, which he could not misun-
derstand to leave the premises within the next for
ty-eight hours" As soon as it was daylight Mr.
Carroll took the hint, and with his family removed
to the Eutaw House. Such, at least was the version
OF the affair, which given to this paper by its
local reporters, and which was published in The
Exchange of the 22d inst. The two cases, taken
either singly or together furnish charming Illus
traton of the present state of society in Baltimore,
and carry us back in Imagination to the primitive
simplicity of those earlier ages, when laws and
courts hardly existed, and when Mayors and States
Attorneys were unknown institutions.

BALTIMORE.
MONDAY, MAY 8, 1858.

In the Scientific Convention, on Saturday,
learned professor read a paper on ''the Rocks of
Kansas" Weare happy TO be able to congratulate
the professor and the public, that the Crooks of
Kansas" have at length been removed from the
Halls of Congress, where the discussion of the
Kansas question has long proYeda stumbling block
10 the politicians and crock of offence to the
whole people. This happy result was accomplished
on Friday, by the passage by both Houses, of Mr..
English's substitute, for Mr.. Montgomery's substi
ute for Mr. Crittenden's substitute for Mr. Green's
Lccompton bill. 1t passed in the Senate, by vote
of 30 to 22-in the House, by a vote of III to 103
The bill admits Kansas into the Union as a State
under the Lecompton Constitution, and proposes
to endow her with liberal grant of public lands.
upon one condition, however, which is declared to
be fundamental condition precedent" viz: that
the people of Kansas shall by their votes ratfy and
accept said gift Should they reject it, 'it shall
be deemed and held that the people of Kansas do
not desire admission into the Union with said Con-
stin under the conditions set forth in the said
proposition" and accordingly, they authorized
to form another constitution and State government
whenever, and not before, it is ascertained by
duly and legally taken, that the population
of the Territory equals exceeds the ratio of repre-
sentation required for member of the House of
Representatives The bill then constitutes the
Governor, Secretary, and United States District
Attorney of the Territory, the President of the
Territorial Council, and the Speaker of the Terri
toral House of Representatives a Board of Com
missoners for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of the act and so submits to the people
of Kansas the question, whether they will come
into the Union now with their present constitution
remain Territory, until, according to the pro-
visions Of the Act they shall be entitled 10 form
another, ''with or without slavery" they may
choose. While we congratulate the country Con-
gress, the Administration and the people of Kansas
upon this suspicious settlement of the 'vexed
question:" it is a matter not of surprise but of re-
gret, to observe the part which our own representa-
tives took in the matter True to their anecedents
and their associations and TO those Black-Republ-
can affinities, which they manifest on all occasions
the two members for the city of Baltimore, voted
with the Abolitionsts against the Conference Bill.
Slr. Kennedy, in the Senate we are happy to see,
took the patriotic and conservative view of the
question, and cast his vote for peace and the Union
Mr.. Pearce'S appreciation of the bill is shown by
the fact of his pairing off with Mr.. Bell its avowed
opponent. In fact the position of both of the
Maryland Senator's throughout the whole of this
and enviable contrast to the petty, factious, and
partisan spirit shown by moiety of the Maryland
representation in the lower House.

The Sanitary and Quarantine Convention which
met in this city on Thursday, adjourned on Satur-
day. Its members having been duly wined and
dned, and having eaten and drank their fill, have
gone their ways Their labors being ended. it now
becomes proper to give brief report of their pro-
ceedings, which might be summed up as fol-
lows: First Day, Thursday; the Convention met,
organized and dined at the Jail. Second Doy
Friday; the Convention visited the House of Refuge
and the Aims house, dined at Barnums and sup
ped at the Eutaw House. Third Day, Samday:

ed resolution of thanks to the president, 'or the
able and impartial manner in which he has presi-
dcd over the deliberations of this body" also to
the secretaries and also to the committee of arrange
mcnts for the excellent manner in which they
have discharged their duties" Then somebody
else offered resolution of thanks to the Mayor
the City Councils, corporate officers and citizens of
Baltimore, ''for the kind reception given the mem
hcrS during their stay Next a vote of thanks
10 the Most Worshipful Grand Master of the MAJ
sons, 'for the of the hail. was passed Final
ly the President thanked the Convention, and
every body having thanked every body else, the
Convention adjourned. The only measure of i'm
portance adopted during its session, appears to
have been a resolution in favor holding another
similar Convention, to meet on the last Wednesday
in April, 1859, in the city of New York, and pro-
vding for the appointment of Committee to re-
port at the Convention, upon the following sub
jccts, viz: ls the Importance of proper quaran-
tine and sanitary regulations, for preserving the
health of cities 2nd, the importance of Quarantine
and Sanitary Conventions for the purpose of de-
yising aud promoting useful sanitary reforms The
first of these propositions we prepared 10 admit
in advance of the report of the Committee, but
the second, we must be excused for doubling
after the experience of last week.

AT O'Clock in the afternoon, the members of the

several of the city officials with large number of
our citizens, OF both sexes, embarked on board the
steamer POcahOntas, for an excursion down the
river-the entire body Of guests being equal in
point of numbers to the capacity of this spacious
steamer. Arriving at this memorable spot, the
company was met and welcomed by the command
ant, Major French, and his suite of officers, and
conducted to the parade ground where concourse
of our citizens, estimated at two thousand persons
awaited their arrival, attracted there by the antic
pated unusual military display of the artillery
corps at this station.
The men were first drilled on foot with the sabre
and performed the various evolutons in Il manner
eliciting much appreciation; but that which follow
ed excited the admiration of every bcholder. We
allude to their performance as flying artlersts and
which must be seen to be properly appreciated as

practice with the pieces-in which the men proved
themselves adopts well in this as in the driIl af

therein, and the exercises were brought to close
by the throwing of few shell.

the company, and the breaking down of the bar

game by some of the gentlemen, when the refresh
