New HAMPSHIRE. Both branches of the New
Hampshire Legislature met, at Concord, on the
LIST inst, and organized without delay Hon.
Joseph A. Gilmore, of Concord, was elected
President of the Senate Grcenleaf Cummings,
of Lisbon, Clerk, and William A. Preston, of
New Ipswich, Assistant Clerk. In the House,
Hon. N. B. Bryant was chosen Speaker; Hen
ry o. Kent, Clerk, and Edward Sawyer, Assist
ant do They are all Republicans.
Governor Goodwin delivered his message on
the Cd. Referring to National matters he
says:
AS functionaries of the State, our primary
and proper business is, to provide for the wants,
to watch over the interest, and to develop the
resources of our own State. We are to make
and promulgate laws for New Hampshire. Our
duties and concerns are chiefly domestic but
the sentiment of patriotism and our own inter-
ests, forbid us to overlook entirely our national
relations, and the policy OF the Federal Govern
ment. New Hampshire is an integral part of
the nation one of the original thirteen of this
now multiplied confederacy of independent
States; she adheres-she always has adhered,
and she always will adhere-to the Union and
the Constitution. She does not stop to calculate
their value; for her, that problem is already
and forever solved, that question finally adjudi-
Gated She says they shall BE- preserved. be-
lieve speak the sentiment of the great mass of
her people when say, that New Hampshire
t knows no patriotism that is bounded by State
lines or sectional limits. All such pretended
petrlotism, whether appearing in New England

and endangering the permanency of our Repub-
he. Whatever State, or section, or party, in
this country, adopts the doctrine of notification
or the scheme of disunion, does, by that very
act, acknowledge its inherent wea kness, and
the utter hopelessness of its political aims.
But while New Hampshire cheerfully recog.
Q nizes the rights OF all other States, she will
firmly maintain her own. While she wilneycr

Che farmer,
Turnips Among Corn.

Mn. ED1roR: i wish TO call the attention
of my brother farmers to the fact that tur-
nips can be grown among corn with very lit
tie trouble oroxpense. | have raised them
for several years in the following manner;
After the caltiyator went through the corn
the last time for he season. / followed that
with the turnip seed, sowing broadcast
boy follows dragging a mandrake, and it is
DONE last year / used drill with better
success than broadcast Two boys can keep
up with the cUltivator--one to pull, the
other at the handles. Put one row of tur-
nips between each row of corn. |, of course,
an abiding to ground that will bring good
crop of corn in poor ground it is useless to
put turnip seed or anything else among corn.
[ have tried several different kinds of tur-
nips, aud find the Yellow Aberdeen and
White Norfolk to produce the best. The
latter | think is most productive. The seed
can be procured at almost any of the seed
stores in villages, at one dollar pound,
and a pound think sufficient for fve-acre
field. 1t will most likely produce two or
three hundred bushels. Now l consider the
cost and trouble nothing in comparison to
that amount of turnps fed during winter
and spring, j do not consider the corn in
jurcd in the least by the turnips as they
grow principally after the corn is cut off,

Work FOR JUNE-May, June and Sept
ember are the dairy months. The best but
ter and the best cheesee are usually made in
these months. IF you are not neat, you do
know how to make cheese or butter. I'm
cleanliness effects not only the looks but the
quality of the butter. Broad, shallow glass
pans are the best, but the most expensive.
In these milk seldom turns sour in summer
thunder storms. Tin pans are good, but uu-
less the dairy woman is scrupulously neat the
seams will be filed with residuum of milk
and become very foul, giving favor to each
successive painful The principal requisites
for prime butter are, good COWS, good pasture
for them, clean pans, cool airy cellars, clean
churns. Let the cream be churned before it
is sonr Or bitter; when the butter CONES, at
least three thorough workings will be .ecces-
sary to drive out all the butter-milk.
Garden.-Transplant flowers destroy all
weeds; set out out cabbages; more lettuce !;
get ready celery trenches; layer favorite ros-
es, vines, ETC.. SOW salt under plum trees
put on Goa. two inches thick.
Bud roses with fine kinds; see that large
plants are tied neatly to frames Or stakes
Every morning examine your beds of cabbage
ect., for cut-worms, and destroy them il
found, plant succession crops of peas, ccrn
radishes, lettuce, &c.

TURNIps.-Mr. Editor: | have read with
interest the many arti Giles on tulnips which
have appeared in your valuable paper There
seems to be quito a difference of opinion
among agriculturists respecting their value,
compared with other crops.
Experience proves that animals do not
thrive best on the most concentrated food
nor is such food most conducive to health in
man or beast. A man would not long sur
vive if fed upon sugar or venson alone, and
dog would not live six months if fed wholly
upon fine wheat -four. Yet all admit these
substances are highly nutritious.
The alysis Of the turnip shows large
per cent OF water to the nutritive matter,
but believe it to be more valuable to feed
with other fodder, than strict chemical an
alysis shows it. A change of food is bene-
fetal to stock, and in winter, when animals
cannot get green food, turnips are excellent
to keep the stomach in tone, and give them
an appetite for dry feed.
The different varieties of turnips vary in
nutriment. The Swedish | consider the best.
but my experiments have been mostly with
the English, which | have raised and fed for
several years.
frequently winter part of my cattle
upon corn fodder, straw and turnips, until
the latter are fed out, when use corn meal
as substitute for turnip. As nearly as
can judge from the growth and appearance oil
the stock, land have observed them closely,
to satisfy myself,) six bushels of fifty pounds
turnips are equal to one bushel of corn, Il
feed with coarse fodder. When corn is
worth one dollar to feed, value turnips al
one shilling per bushel. In many localities
ten bushels of turnips are more easily raised
than one of corn. have frequently raisec
good crops, at triAing expense in cornfeld
where the worms had destroyed part O
the corn, and it was too late in the season t,
replant it, by sowing broadcast and cultiva
ting and hoeing in the seed.

A METHODIST LOVE FEAST One Hundred
Speakers an Hour.-This peculiar feature of
the Methodist denomination, which is always a
season most interesting and most joyous to the
participants, was held this morning in the
church in Christ street. Rev. Father Merrill
presided, and all the Methodist clergy and lay
man from abroad, together with enough to fill
the church from our own churches, gathered
gathered for a season ofrelreshing grace. The
spirit was not allowed to rest for q moment
few of the speakers exceeded minute in their
remarks, while some only expressed in the most
straightforward manner their entire faith and
love. A hundred speakers were accommodated
within the hour.
Father Taylor said this was the happiest
mtrning of all the thirty years in which he had
Joined in this annual love feast. One speaker
said the angels and reporters, who would spree
the glad tidings Of the heavenly joy here this
morning, would have no trouble in learning
| that this was Methodist love feast, and an ole
fashioned one and he wished to be reported ir
the company going to heaven. The souls of al
who have gained the love of God danced in thu
fullness of His love in the light of his glory
Sometimes two persons in different parts of thu
church spoke together, and as the spirit which
actuated them to speak was the only thing re
quired to feed the enthusiasm of the audience
it made no difference at all. One man said h
did business on State street, and he blessed CO.
that the gospel of Jesus was for all.
One aged minister said that yesterday morn
ing he strayed into a Unitarian prayer meetn
he went in out of curiosity, which he woul
not stop to cxplain-but he was continual
astonished until the close lie found the sam
spirit there, and was actually reminded of
Methodist camp meeting.
Father Taylor had BEEN called to see dyin
Catholic, and she was happy in Jesus. W
shall begin to think by-and-by, said he, TIA
Jesus can convert anybody
A venerable Quaker testified that the wore
of the prophet had been verified in his exper
ence this morning, for while he had listcne
the fire burned. lie had been confirmed in h
belief that it was always safe to act on goo
impressions. lie deprecated sectarianism, an
prayed for Christian union OF all denomin;
tons. He believed what Father Taylor ha
once told him, that sectarianism was a plaI
that did not grow in Heaven. He was glad
be warmed by the spirit of a Methodist lo'
feast. Speakers of other denominations e
pressed that the cold forms of theology we
melted in their hearts by love.
The festival closed at half-past ten o'clo
with the benediction pronounced by Faith
Merrill. -BoSlOn Journal.

The present condition OF the Democracy in
this State is laughable in the extreme. They
are scarcely enough to count a majority in any
one town even, and, therefore, not being able to
do any execution in warfare upon the Repub-
lican party, they have got into very pretty
row among themselves. When Mr. Buchanan
and hisfEorite beverage took position Of the
White House, those in Office and those out Of
office turned their faces toward Washington,
with a stomach for the provendcr supposed to
be in that portion of the pnblic crib assigned to
Vermont. Then commenced a iostling and
crowding decidedly rich. Petitions, remon-
strances, letters, aihdavis, inuendoes, old news
papers, private letters, forgotten speeches, were
spread out before the Great Dispenser of fod-
der He was told that Eastman's stomach was
full and Rcdfeld was empty; therefore, for tho
stomacl's sake, Eastman should rotate out, anC
RedGcld rotate in. The Great Dispenser snub
bed Eastman S nose away from the crib, and lee
Redf,ld up and hithchod him to the same man
ger. Eastman went away both in anger ant
in sorrow to ruminate, and Rodield quietl,
munched away mt the public proveuder If i
is allowed to those who win to laugh, certainl
IL right to grumble may be conceded to thos
who lose. Eastman seems to have taken thi
for granted, and has grumbled and kept grum
bling, And from grumbling he has gone
personalities, and tells what would seem to b
unwholesomo truths. A paper called the Argu;
somewhere In the south part of the State, fire
away in response, with much the same kind {
hot shot. 1t has come at last to be regula
scratch tor-scTatch " cat-fght, disagreeabl
enough to the public, and possessing little II
tcrest except to those who own cats. But t
the cohesive power Of public plumber is a
that now holds the Democratic party in tn
State together, such fights must be expected
until the party becomes so conveniently sma
as to all find room aud fodder at the public e,
pensc. From the present indications that GOO

REMEDY FOR THE STRIPED Having
but few boards at hand suitable for making
frames and plenty of old bricks, | took a
wheelbarrow load of the latter, and stood
four or five Of them on edge around each hill
of melons, etc., as soon as the young plants
made their appearance; and in ten days
trial | found not bug inside these little
pens, while some plants left outside were en-.
tirely devoured by them. The bricks also
promote the growth of the young plants, by
protecting from winds, and giving out heat
at night absorbed during the day.
A correspondent has another:
Take feathers from hens wing, or take
sticks and split them and put in cotton,
which is about as good, dip them in spirits OF
turpentine, and stick them into the hill in
an oblique or slanting position little above
the vines; two or three will be sufficient for
a hill, and as OTTER as it loses its strength,
dip them over, and after every shower. !
have taken boards FIVE inches wide, made
boxes and covered them with millinet, and
put them over the hills; the vines would run
up tall, like growing in the shade, and come
to take the boxes of, they would not do well
but put spirits Of turpentine around the hills
and they will do well. HIS.

The SLAVE TRADE FLouRIsHING.-A dispatch
from New York, June LIST, says that a dispatch
to the Secretary of the Navy states that iSlagers
bound to several Southern States, are now on
the coast Of Africa. They are expected home
this fall with slaves for the Mississippi and Tex
as Markets.
A Texas paper, the Richmond Reporter, o. the
l4th of May, contains an advertisement offering
for sale four hundred likely African negroes,
lately landed upon the coast of Texas and a
reference for further information to @. X. c. Of
Houston, or l.. R. G. of Galveston. Such state.
ments as these lead US to conclude that there
is much more in the talk about royiving thu
African Slave Trade than many good people art
willing to believe.

Republican party in the Territory. The Con-
vention elected for its President Mr.. A. O..
Leonard of Coffee county. During the after
noon recess on the first day. Mr.. Horace Greedy
addressed a mass meeting in q speech an hour
and a half long. The platform was reported on
the following day, from acommittee Of thirteen
and after an animated discussion, lasting for
eight hours consecutiHely, it was unanimously
adopted. The platform declares that the Con.
stitution does not carry slavery into tho Terri
tories that the people of the Territories have
the right to select their own laws and elect their
own officers that further legislation by Con
gress is necessary for the suppression of the
slave trade ; that the passage Of Il liberal Home
stead act is expedient that the President has
been guilty of IN act of gross injustice in Or
doring the public lands in Kansas to be sold
during q period Of universal depression; that
an extension Of the political disabilities of nat
uralized voters is unwise and that the improve
ment Of rivers and harbors is a measure of cs.
sentml Importance. The Convention adjourned
to the 10th.

A SLAVE KILLS HIS MAsTER-The Slare Burnt

GRAND CANE, May "A dreadful murder

on his master. Mr.. James Roper passed here
with his negro on his way home to Peach tree
Village. They camped out mile and q half
above Smithfeld The stagc-driver in the even
ing saw them sitting together; half an hour
afterwards the negro dashed out his master 8
brains, as 1t appears, with an axe, while he was
asleep. and then burnt his body, He then pro-
ceedcd toward home, and stated to some of the
citizens that he did not know what had become
OF his master. Suspicious were excited, and he
was taken to the spot where they had camped /;
the ashes of the fire were examined and
/ pieces of bones, buttons and rags found. The
negro said the Indians had killed him, but the
evidence of the stage driver was against him,
and he owned the whole

Mr.. Roper was new conner, and the negro had

family wished to return to Alabama, but Mr..
Roper was opposed to it, but promised the
negro to purchase his wife next year, il money
could buy her, as he had to return and collect
some money but this, the negro thought, was
too long to wait, and he thought that if his
