The FARMERS CREED :-One of our exchanges
gives the following first rate advice under the head
ing of "rhe Farmers Creed:"
ave believe in small farms and thorough cultiva.
ton. The soil loves to eat as we'll as its owners,
and therefore to be nurtured. We believe in large
crops. which leave the land better than they found
it-making both the farm and farmer rich at once.
We believe in going to the bottom of things and
therefore in deep ploughng, and enough of it-all
the better if with subsoil plough. We believe
that the best fertility of any soil is the spirit of in
dustry, enterprise and intelli gence--without this,
lime and gypsum. bones and green manure mari or
plaster, will be of little use We believe in clean
kitchen, and neat wife in it, = spinning piano. a
clean cupboard, dairy and conscience. We firmly
dsbelieve in farmers that will not improve: in farms
that grow poor every year; in starved cattle; in
farmers boys turning into clerks and merchants:
in farmers daughters unwilling to work and in ali
farmers who are ashamed of their vocation"
To PRESERVE HANS THROUGH THE SUMNER Make
number of cotton bags, little larger than your
hams; after the hams well smoked, place them
in the bags; then get the very best kind of sweet,
welmade hay, cut it with knife, and with your
hands press ii well around the hams in the bag tie
the bags with good string, put card Of the year
to show their age, and then hang them up in the
garret or some dry room and they will hang five
years, and will be better for boiling than on the day
you hang them up This method costs but little. as
the bags will last for years. No flies nor bugs will
trouble the hams if the hay is pressed around them
the sweating of the hams will be taken up by the
hay, and the hay will impart fine flavor to the
hams. The hams should be treated in this manner
before the warm weather sets in.

What the Radical. PROPOSE.

According to the London Correspondent of
the Criminal Zeitung.," the foreign Socate In
ter1adttonae has a branch organization. esta-
blished lately in New York. which is extern
sively connected with the press on the Con-
tinet. Not only the columns of English
journals are open to these Revolutionists for
the publication of their propagandas, but
the also have their own Organ-the '.Le Belle
tin de la Societe LqteTRddonaLe,'' us High Hol-
born street, London" and which is printed in
different languages. Felix Pyle and A. Tai
lander are at the head of the French section,
while the German section is represented by
persons less known as prominent German Re-
volutionists. Their purpose is to promote
Socialism-or, rather. Communism and Re
volution." In despatch to their brethren
of the '-Steuben House." in New York, they
say
1--WE recognize perfect revolution only of
the whole system of society, to abolish not
only the Throne and the Altar Estate and
Church, but also, private property and ca
pital.'
1t is one of the unfavorable signs of the
times that there should be found a set of men
bad enough to proclaim such principles, or
that a public opinion-however limited in de-
gree or character-shoud be found willing to
TO uphold them. The doctrine that property
is robbery, or that capital is a wrong to labor
belongs rather 10 the dones and knaves of
society than to the SOBER industrious and
intelligent poor. Those who would over
throw the throne and the altar, property and
capital, are composed of the idle and the vi
ciOus. They dislike all restraints upon their
appetites, and abuse government and the prin-
ciples of true freedom by assaults upon ca
pital, property, the church and the civil gov
eminent. We regret deeply that those who
come from Europe to enjoy a home in Ameri-
ca, are found so ready TO undermine our whole
American society the moment they get a foot
hold i'll the United States-N. Y Express.

The following extract from an article in
the Memphis appeal squints pretty strongly at
n continuance of banks in this State:
But what does this war among the banks
indicate? In our Judgment il points out
more plainly the necessity of II thorough aud
radical reformation of the whole system, con-
forming the new system To strict, specie pay
ing standard, and, with that view, wiping out
aud closing up existing banks as speedily rs
the public Interest will bear. 1t also entorces
the necessity OF n sound sentiment on the
subj CT of banking, and To that end, that the
people themselves should take the whole sub
icct in hand and see that all legislation had
is rgidly guarded and enforced, with
"A view to furnishing them n currency equal To
gold aud silver. aud on the failure To do
that. then to abolish the whole system 1t
moreover shows the Importance of having but
one system OF banking for the whole State,
aud giving To each portion of the State indie
pendent banks, according To its commercial
eNigcnci :, and not merely for bualIH. Ot
the Two systems, We would prefer well guard
cd ard restricted stock bank system. We
would divorce banking from political schemes
aud political capital, that neither the add
vucacy OF or opposition To, "A particular poll
CIV. shonld constitute Il source of political
power We would collect aad disburse the
revenues Of the State in the manner that is
done 10y the Government of The Union-by
the States own responsible otiicers-instead OF
employing aud salarying n host OF bank ciii-
cers aud agents to do the work. We would
bring about these necessary reforms as safely
aud gradually as the nature OF the work aud
circumstances will permit, without violently
or suddenly changing our policy and opprvs-
sing any portion OF the people

The MIX i'm the cucoa-Nut.

1t would seem, from the following extract
| from the Washington Correspondence of the
New York Journal Of Go~merce that the defec
ton of Mr., DoUGLAs was highly agreeable to
large portion of the democracy, who were
| already jealous" of him '.and were glad of
the chance to exclude him from the party"
1t also appears That they are determined to
keep him oet and that he cannot go back if
| he would:
The. Northern Democratic press seem to
| have Cons deTed that il was really matter of
choice with Mr.. Douglas either TO go back to
his position in the Democratic party or not
| On the contrary. there has never been an
| hour since his first anti compton speech in
| the Senate, on the first day of the session,
when be could retrace his steps and recover
| deposition.
l. Upon his first and only conversation with
the President he took his position. He de-
ciined even 10 defer his pronunciamento till
| after he should read the Presidents Message.
! He told the President then that he wanted no
| further reflection nor consultation upon the
| subject.
Mr.. Douglas could not have gone back if
he would: and, in my opinion, he would not
| if he could.
| TheSouthern Democratic Union press deeply
tanning Mr.. Douglas views as to the preser-
vation of party organization, have demand
| ed that he war against him and his d m0cratic
| supporters in Illinois should cease and that
| the "bolters' Convention" which Douglas
| denounced, be discountenanced. In other
words they require the President to make
amends to Mr.. Douglas and beckon him back
! into the party upon his own terms. But a
! compliance with this advice is impossible
The President is not the party, and half of
! the Democratic party leaders, North and
South. jealous of Douglas. are irreconcilably
| hostile to him, and were glad of the chance TO
| exclude him from the party.
But The President can make no concessions
| to Mr.. Douglas further than to say. as he has
| said. that he concurs with Mr.. Douglas in the
propriety of party discipline and regular no.
limitations, in an acquiescence in the decision
of the Kansas people under the English act,
andi in the adoption hereafter of the principles
! OF the Minnesota act.

The Eclipse of the sun on the Sixth
of September Next.

There will be total eclipse of the sun on
the 9th of September next, visible in the Uni
It'd States only at the extreme Southern
points and best to be witnessed in South
America. where it will be central. English
astronomers have had facilities offered them
by their government to proceed thithcr, while
our government has hitherto made no move
ment in the matter. Private enterprise, how
ever, has nobly stepped in to the aid of the
cause OF science. The Washington cOrrespOn-
dent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says:
The last steamer brought communication
from Mr.. George Wheelwright, of Newbury-
port. Mass, now in London, authorizing a
friend to draw on him for sum sufficient to
pay the expenses of an American astronomer
in Peru. He offers it Il cheerful contribu-
ton for the promotion OF science.
The arrangements for the expedition have
not been completed but | am able to say that
it will DE under the patronage of the Smith
sOnian institution and that the astronomer
selected is Lieutenant James NJ. ellis. L. S.
n. whose character and reputation are sut1i-
GENTLY established from his splendid success
as Superintendent of the late Astronomical
Expedition to Chill, whose primary object
was the determination of the solar parallaX.
The third volume of his elaborate report has
just been issued. and is devoted solely to this
subject. He will start on his new mission in
the steamer of the 9th Of August.
