-S~O>N$ GRASS.

No department of agriculture has grown more speedily yet silently than the culture oi grass in our State. Farmers and plan ters have found that the hay crop is one of the most profitable and least troublesome of all. The natural grass, growing not only on the prairies, but to the very summits of the hills and mountains, have afforded ex- cellent grazing to cattle for the greater part of the year, and our farmers being surround ed with thousands of acres of vacant lands. covered with wild grasses, have never felt the necessity for pastures and meadows- In some parts of our State farmers turn out several hundred head of stock in the sprinq and seldom see them again unless they seek them out to give them salt But exper:- ence has shown that a good meadow or pasture grounds are cheaper than to turn stock out, especially those cattle kept for diary purposes. The steamers from Gin cinnati that ascend White and Arkansas rivers, and no doubt the other rivers in the State, almost every trip carry bags or bar rels of grass seed-bue- grass, timothy and clover; the latter however, except in few localities, not being found to do we'll As the country becomes more thickly settled and the range" as vacant lands are term ed, become enclosed, the necessity for mea- dows will become more apparent. Hay is commodity of importance everywhere, and more especially in populous counties The substitutes of fodder and oats will not supply the demand for winter feed, short as our winters generally are. Much land sup posed to be too wet for tillagc if once plowed and seeded down with grass will make ex- cellent meadows, yielding from three to six tons of hay to the acre. Some difficulty has been experienced in procuring grass seed adopted to sowing in our soil and eli mate. Some prefer timothy; others blue grass or red-top. Our attention has been called to the introduction of the Honey DioNo oi Sidoo oCcu' A louS advertisement will be found in another column, setting forth its merits. Mr. Counts, of this city, who is agent for the sale of the seed, has also favored us with a pamphlet on the same subject. We were under the impression that this was but an onther name for millet or summer grass, and from what agricultural journals had said of this crop we were led to regard it with dis favor. But it appears that the honey blade grass is different kind, that 1t grows we'll on upland, resists drought successfully, yields finely and produces from twenty to thirty bushels of seed to the acre in addi- tion to the crop of hay. It can be sown after other crops are harvested and will keep green for feed during the winter- Our farmers will, no doubt, be anxious to try this new grass seed Mir. Counts will forward to those desiring it, q pamphlet containing description of this grass and enumerating its advantages, and will fill all orders for seed.

The War in Europe.

Up to the 17th ult., no decisive engage ment had taken place. The supineness or want of energy of the Austrians has been variously accounted for. It is attributed to rains; to fear of advancing into a cal de sac, and to want of provisions. In the meantime the French troops are crossing the mountains and also landing at Genoa. Napoleon is at Alesandria.
 It has been said that in the days of the great Napoleon it was different, for then the dispatch that announced the departure of the Emperor from Paris was followed in a few days by another announcing a vic tory. But it must be remembered that the transmission of intelligence was then very different. Now we have panorama of each days events; then they had simply the most prominent events reported at in- tervals. We see the steps and approaches to an event and are prepared for it. Fifty years ago, the news burst upon the people and surprised them.
 The most important items are the appa- rent attitude of Prussia, which is siding with Austria and the declaration of the English press that Russia will join Austria against France in consideration of the ces- sion of Moldavia and Wallachia. In this event, Napoleon will have his hands full- England is actively increasing both her army and navy 10000 landsmen have been enrolled in the latter There are other rumors and conjectures, which, if half of them prove true, go to show that the war will become general and that England vii be forced to take sides. For the present the game is just being opened. The pawns are advanced square or two and the players are determining which of the larger pieces will be brought to the attack.

PULASKI CouNTY--INcREAsE OF PRo- PERTY.-The tax-book of this county for the present year shows the total amount of the value of taxable property therein to be s4 437 ,502, against S3,747 ,956, in 1858: being gain of $6o9,546
 In 1858 there were 2S3, 464 acres of land. valued at s1 ,560, ,S04; in 1859, there are 3ll,229 acres, valued at S1,775,555. The number of slaves in 1858 was 1,614, va lued at $l ,05S, 800; in 1859 the number is 1865, and the value S1, ,24S,72
 The increase in the value of taxable pro- perty, 1t will be seen, is considerably over half million of dollars. The former she- riff was a close assessor as is the present one, and this increase may be fairly set down to the immigration, introduction of property and entering of vacant lands in the county.

 "Without o'erflowing, full.''
 It has seldom happened that the naviga tion of the Arkansas river has been so con- tinually good without overflow or low water as at the present season. "The June rise as it is called, generally comes in May. II is barely possible that we may have an over flow, but not very probable. The rains al this season are generally of short duration The farmers and planters in the river bot toms consider themselves safe.

 '" Destroying Angels.'
 In summing up the evidence, in the case of the murderers of the Parishes and Pot ter, Judge Cradlebaugh said:
 Until 1 commenced the examination of the testimony in this case I always SUD- posed that 1 lived in land of civil antEre- llSlous liberty, in which we were secured, by the constitution of our country, the right to remove at pleasure, from one portion of our domain to another, and also that we enjoyed the privilege of 'worshipping God according to dictates of our own -eonsci- ence.' But l regret to say, that the evi- dence Tn this case, clearly proves, that so far as Utah IS concerned, 1 have been mis- taken Tn such supposition Men are mur- dered here. Coolly, deliberately, preme- ditatedly murdered their murder is deli berated and determined upon by church council meetings, and that too for no other reason, than that they had apostatized from your church, and were striving to leave the territory.
 You are the tools, the dupes, the ipst46, ments of a tyrannical church dtspotism. The heads of your church order and direct you. You are taught to obey their orders, and commit these horrid murders De prived of your liberty, you have lost your manhood, and become the willing insAu- ments of bad men.
 l say to you it will be my earnest effort while with you, to knock off your ecchsi- astlcal shackles and set you free. =

BEN. T. DUVAL. H. Snaith, Ark., May 25th, 1859.

HE OVERLAND MAIL.-The Butter6eld route will be kept up. If any of the routet are discontinued or number of trips cur tailed, it will be the northern routes. Last winter the route by Salt Lake was impas- slble for weeks on account of snows.- Drivers and even the mules were frozen to death and once or twice the mail bags were abandoned. On the routes still further north matters were much worse. The In-, dlans several times attacked the persons or trains. The routes on the 35th parallel and through Texas can be carried throughout the year, and are free from the severe wintry storms, and very little troubled by Indians. Several of the Missouri members of Con- gress went to- Washington to remonstrate against discontinuance of the routes leav- ing the western confines of that State, with what success we do not yet know.

old pioneers and those in whose possession the facts and points of history rest, are dis inclined to write, being distrustful of their abilities. But this may be overcome by others committing their words to writing. And the project once set on foot will at tract attention, increase in interest and ca pablo men will make leisure enough to fur nish contributions. The suggestion is happy and important one; one that prom ises to afford us some relief from the eter- nal wrangle of politics and politicians.
 The Batesville Balance comes to us with an article 'sorter'' in reply to one of ours on the northern aspect of the slavery ques- tion. We have not space here te reply. but shall do so elsewhere in this issue, if possible; if not, next week. This is due to that paper for one or two reasons: Be- cause 1t IS the nearest approach to toeing the mark we have yet seen; because the editor really appears to believe what he writes, and because the tone in which it is written though rather on the "pooh poohr' order' shows willingness to argue the ques- tion without calling hard names.
 From that paper we learn that the Insti- tute at Batesville will soon be rebuiIt and that Mir. Davidson, the patentee of the new blow, who IS represented as an industrious and ingenious mechanic, has also made some valuable Improvements in the iron tie for baling cotton, for which he is soicitino patent. All honor to Mir. Davidson, say we. Such a man is worth more to inc State than the whole race of little giants, and the products of his inventive genius are of more importance than all the pro- ceedlngs in legislative caucuses since Ar kansas was territory.
