To the Agriculturists of North Carolina.

The Publisher of the North Carolina Plan
ter has a very great desire to continue it's
publication, but he frankly states that he can
not do so beyond the present year, unless
its list of subscribers is very greatly increased;
He has appealed SO often to the Friends of
Agriculture in the State, to come to the res
cue, and interest themselves in getting sub
scribers, and these appeals have been respon-
ded to by so few, thanks, however, to the
few who have given us their a~ssistance,) that
he feels no encouragement to make further
appeals either to their professional pride, or
patriotism, in giving their aid to sustain a
North Carolina Agricultural journal. Be
therefore offers the following liberal induce
ments to persons to subscribe, and If these
fail, the Planter must be abandoned. The
Publisher cannot afford to lose money by its
publication any longer:
For two dollars, sent By the 1st dag Of Jan
WGry nert, the N. G. Planter for 1858, 1860
and 1860 will be sent-that is, three years
for two dollars. This is oUer one thousand
pages of Agricultural reading, especially adap-
ted to our own State, for two dollars! Surely,
no one can refuse to subscribe now, on &C
count of the price.
And any of our present subscribers who
will send us four new subscribers, shall re
ceive a copy extra.
We expect by these propositions to great
ly increase the subscription list of the N. @
Planter and We do earnestly hope that al
who desire its continuance, will give us thei
aid in enabling Us to do so.
All letters to be addressed to

Latest Foreign News.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The Cunard steam
ship Persia, Captain Judkins, arrived this
morning with Liverpool dates to Saturday,
July 23.
The Peace Conference between France and
Austria, was expected to take place in about
one week. The Sandman representative had
not not been named. 1t was believed that
one would be present, but Sardinia, if she
pleases, will acquiesce in the Austro- French
arrangement in q separate article.
1t was supposed that an European Peace
Congress would meet after the terms of peace
had been concluded.
IL is now affirmed that Sardinia signed
nothing but the armistice, and consequently
is now in a nominal state Of war with Aus
tria.
The discomfort with the terms Of peace
continued undated in Italy.
Napoleon's latest explanations were not Of
a very re-assuring character.
Tuscany has showed strong hostility to
the return ofthe Grand Duke, and the Provi.
sional Government had directed a popular
vote to be taken on the subject.
The German Diet has agreed TO restore the
Contingent Army and Federal Fortresses to
a peace footing.
The English foreign policy had been deba.
ted in the House Of Commons. DIsraeli
opposed oil interference in the Peace Con.
gress. Palmerston and Russell thought Eng
land might with propriety take part but
nothing was determined on. Lord Elchc
gave notice Of his intention to offer a reso
luton against any interference by England.
Mr.. Gladstone proposed an increase of the
income tax, which was agreed TO.
Louis Napoleon had received the congratu
iations Of the Diplomatic Corps, resident a
Paris. The Pope's Nuncio was spokesman
for the Ambassadors. In reply to the Nun
clio Napoleon said Europe had been 80 unjus
to him at the commencement ofthe war, tina
he was happy to conclude a peace SO soon a
the honor and interests of France were salts
fed. As a proof Of his moderation, he trus
ted that the peace would be enduring.
