ConeressionaI Di.tricts.

THE RECORD took occasion early in JAM
uary to urge upon the Legislature the neces.
sity Of dividing the State into Congressional
Districts, and of postponing the election of
congressman until 1869. They are now
chosen fifteen months prior to the COM
mencement of their term of office, and quite
long enough for California politician to
forget his obligations to his constituents,
and imagine himself born Congressman.
The necessity for an election so long in ad
vance, If it ever existed, has passed away,
and we are gratifed to observe an almost
unanimous expression on the part Of the
press Of the State in favor Of such division
and postponement. Governor Johnson rec
commended such policy in his last annual
message, and it is understood that the pres
ent Chief Executive also favorably regards
the proposed change. At oil events it is
hoped that he will do 80.
1t is true that the State will have to be
re- districted after the census Of 1860 shall
have been taken, for California will then be
entitled to four or five Congressman, instead
Of two. BY postponing the election from '58
to so, we shall have the advantage Of the
increased representation at the election in
1861, whereas, should the election Of Con
gressmen take place in 1880, but two could
be chosen as at present.
All the papers noticing the subject at all,
if our memory serves US correctly, have
taken decided grounds in favor Of post
ponement. Among such appear the Noun
tain Democrat. California Express, State
Journal, San Francisco Globe, and others.
With such an expression in favor Of a meas
uro designed simply to secure us just rep
resentation in the Federal Congress u.
early as possible, it is believed that the
Legislature will not fail to take action upon
the subject during its present session.

The Democracy Of New York city sent a

to attend meeting at Tammany Hall on

of the Committee. In that letter he denoun.
ces 10 the most marked and emphatic man
ner, the Lecompton fraud, styling the farce
Of an election which was held upon the so
styled Constitution" "but the unveiled
trickery and shameless fraud Of a so-called
schedule" He takes an eminently National
stand upon the question, and argues that
the submission Of the slavery clause alone to
the votes of the people was alike unfair and
unjust to the northern and southern people.
He pronounces the attempt of the minority
to rule the majority, as the very antipodes
Of true Republication in fact, he upholds

"We hope to have more in detail the

Mr.. Robb, of Clermont County, stated that
the juice of sorghum, grown on cold, wet
soil, was quite different thing from that OBJ
tanned from light, warm SOIL From his
experience it became evident that it required
about twice as much juice, obtained from the
cane grown on cold soil, to produce the

warm soil.

spear from sorghum.

It has been stated thatit is impossible to
mako sugar from the juice OF the sorghum,
but experience shows that this position is not
correct, and that the juice is susceptible of
being crystalized. The following. extracted
from the proceedings of the Cincinnati Hor-
ticulturai Society, contains valuable evidence
confrmatory of its sugar making qualities
On call of the Society, at the suggestion
of the Committee on Sorghum, Mr.. Hedges
made some important statements in relation
TO the capacity of the syrup of sorghum for
into sugar; among others, that
the recent experiments of Professor Wayne
had shown the presence of starch in the sor-
phum, which would prove a serious--perhaps
posiiive--ebstacle to capitalization. But IL
was deemed practicable to obviate this, either
by chemical Reagents Or peculiar manipola-
ton of the cane itself; some experiments
on which tending to sustain this idea. Mr..
Hedges stated to the Society, and read the
follow ing from the Germantown (Pa.) Tele-
graph.

A Word About Ntcaragua.

AS this country has for some time past at
tracted much of the public attention, and is
likely to do so for some time to come, geo.
graphical description of it might be Of inter-
est to many readers who meet every day
with newspaper accounts of events occurring
there. Nicaragua lies between the 10th and
18th parallels of north Latitude; it has
average length of $50 miles to breadth of
about 22o, consequently has an area of about
55 600 square miles, which is about the size of
the State of Illinois. One-tenth part of the
whole surface is covered by the Lake OF Mic
aragua, which is 10 miles long with av
erage breadth of 40 miles, and lies in the
south western part Of the State, ten or twelve
miles from the Pacific Coast. This lake re-
ceivs great many small streams of water,
and discharges them again through the river
of San Juan pronounced San Wan,) which,
running from the southwestern end of the
like, after course of about one hundred
miles, empties into the Caribbean Sea at
Punta Arenas, in the southeast corner of the
State. 1t was at this point Walker landed
with $50 of his military folio &ers on the 25th
day of last month. The river is deep, but
narrow and crooked, and is navgnble for
small steam vessels from its mouth to the
lake. Nicaragua is bounded on the south by
Costa Rica, the most southern OF the State q
OF Central America; on the north by the
State OF Honduras; east by the Caribbean
Sea; and west by the Pacific Ocean. 1t has

No subject discussed in aoricultural i.ur.
mails and books is more hackneyed than TINT
OF poultry. Fowls of every size, from the
tiny Bantams scarcely large enough to crow
up to- those mammoth birds from China, which
are at once monsters in growth and mon
sters in deformity have been described with
all the minuteness and professional learning
OF domestic ornithology. With particular
races Of breeds, as compared with others we
have nothing to do; our purpose is to deal
with general principles, and suggest certain
economical views in the breeding and rear
ing OF poultry applicable alike to birds of
every feather kept either for eggs or flesh.
Ducks and Guinea fowls are the best LAYERS,
when properly fed and otherwise cared for,
although geese, turkeys, and Dunghili fowls
often surprise US by their extraordinary fe-
eundity. What circumstances most inffu-
ence the production ofeggs in domestic birds!
Newly laidseggs are valuable either fer eat
ing or propagation; and how to obtain the
maximum yield from given quantity offo1d
is point worthy of Investigation. ffone de-
slres to obtain many eggs he sheuid keep
young birds, or rather avoid feeding old ones
for that purpose. Stock fowls should con-
sist of puliets and hens OF from one year to
four and ofno mere cocks than one to every
twenty-four TO thirty hens. Too many males
affect injuriousiy the g-forming process in
The system. Like every other junction, its
physiological laws ought to be studied and
understood. excessive pairing, overage, de-
fective nutrition. extremes of cold OF heut,
impure air and water and disqniciuie from
frequent Disturbances, are the more common
causes of barrenness in this class of animals.
Many are the ingenious contriyances that
have been resorteG toto keep hens constantly
laying, and to cureth&aa- of natural desire to
set or incuba.e their eggs. During the rag
for particular breeds, fertile eggs of favoIite
kinds have bfen worth a dollar apiece andof
course The tsse OF the hen that lsy sJ4SfI 1s
too valuable 10 be wasted in Matching chick
ems and nursing them which a common bird
may do as we2. When well supplied with
animal food (butcteriv-e4fal, cracklings, and
the iike,) Poland hens are 50 prolific in egg;
as TO be denominated "everIasting layers. j"
Those engaged in rearing extra-fine stock
fowls; boil u!l refuse meat for their daily
consumption. From such disestible food
birds form either eggs or flesh with the ut
most facility. Wheat and oats are more
coDgeniui aiiment than corn, altogether the
latter is far from being worthless.
Poultry houses and yards onght to be kept
very clean; and all walls aud fences should
be thiekly coverd with white-wash made of
lime. For wallowingi in, TO kill lice and 9th
er vermin, dry leached ashes kept under shell
ter, are excclant, and even earth is better
than nothing. Some green food, like chop
ped cabage, potatoes, or carrots, contributes
much to the health of all poultry in winter;
u variety of food is Important; and not less
SO are pure air and due degree of warmth.

are but few, but they are in fact the strength
OF the State, being.mostly priests and officers
of government and owners of the soil and
masters of the native population Nowhere,
perhaps, on the continent of America, has
the original population reached SO great a
depth of human degradation as in the, Gen.
trai American States. With no prospect bu.
extinction or the most abject slavery before
them, they are indolent, vicious, faithless,
and filthy to the last degree, subsisting on
the spontaneous bounties of nature, and,
when this resource fails, on any description
of offal or garbage that presents itself to
their depraved palates. The climate is warm
and they require but little clothing, and that
is SO filthy as to render the sight of them
loathsome. Whether Walkers
success would improve their moral and phys
ical condition is fair subject for specu la
fi0a.
