of lime for agricultural purposes only. The
Company has been atconsidcrable expense
in preparing the article for market The ap-
plication of lime to land is no new theory. but
practical and advantageous, not only to re.
new and invigoratc soils worn out, but to in
crease the productions of tho grain aud root
crops on land yet in its prime. We would
advise our farmers and gardeners to give it a
trial. We have been promised some articles
ON its use and its adaption to the soil, partic-
ular crops, grasses, &c.

Mai Perrvs Speech.

The speech of Maj. PERRY. delivered re-
Gently at the Tunnel Hill celebration, is Civ
en- entire in this issue. Its great length
should deter no one from giving it an attcu-

shat embodics SO much sound reasoning, con
rincing argument, and statesman-likc views
1t is unanswcrable, and has produced such u
Tutoring in the ranks of the opposition, MS

ed effect. Its circulation should be extend

+" SIGNS in the Haave.nsn

With the change of the season, comes the
electrical orauroral light. The most brilliant
tor many years, appeared on Sunday night
he 28th ult., recurring with its lights and
shades scTeral times during tho succeeding
ten nights. 1t was observed throughout the
United States, and has produced quite as ma
ny paragraphs as the failing of the stars
did some years ago. Those iiluminatons Of
thc heavens are generally known as Aurora
Borealis or Northern lights. They seem tc
be typical of the season.

(Ind.) Register that the story of the loving
couple who sat in the gallery of the House
at Washington exchanging matrimonial
kisses in full view of the whole body is ac-
tually true. He says the scene lasted, in
full view of the House, for over half an
hour. The happy couple occupied front
seat in the ladies' gallery, over the left side
of the House (the Democratic side), and
seemed in blissful Inconsistencies of all
spectators till the doorkeeper sent a note by
one of his deputies which ended a scene
that had attracted the attention of hundreds.
But, it is but justice to say that they were
not from Virginia. 1t turned out, upon in
quiry, that they were from Long Island,
New York-that the parties were an old
bachelor and widow who had recently
been married. and were making a bridal
tour to Washington-and that they were
constituents of the Hon. Mr. Soaring, who
was overwhelmed with congratulations over
the exuberant conjugal affection that evil
IDENTIFY prevails in his district.

Greeley ON Poetry.

Mr., Greeley figures again in in the New
York Ledger 1t seems that he. has written
some verses in his young days, and is fear
apparently so-that Mr.. Bonner will
publish them. There is a coquetry about
the old gentleman's letter that seems to say,
"urge me right hard, Mr.. Bonner, and |,
NAV consent to their publication. The
following is the letter:
Mr.. BONNER: perceive by your Ledger
that you purpose to publish volume Tor
perhaps several volumes) made up OF poems
not contained in Mr.. Danas F." Household
Book of Poetry" and | heartily wish you
success to your enterprise. There are genu-
iHe poems of moderate length which cannot
be found in that collection, excellent as 1t
palpaby is, and superior in value, as | deem
it, to any predecessor or yet extant rival
There are, Moreover, some genuine poets
whose names do not figure in Mr.. Dana's
double index; and thank you for under
taking to render them Justice; only take
care not to neutralize or uulify your chival-
rous championship by burying them under
a CARLOAD of rhymed rubbish, such as my
great name-sake plausibly averred that
neither gods nor men can abide, and you
will have rendered Literature a service and
done Justice to sighted Merit.
But, Mr. Bonner be good enough-you
npust-to exclude me from your poetic Pam
theon. | have no business therein-no
right and no desire to be installed there
am no poet; never was lin expression),
and never shall pe. True, | wrote some
verses, in my callow days as suppose most
persons who can make ineligible penmarks
have done-but | was never poet, even in
the mists of deluding fancy. Allmy verses,
trust, would not fill one of your pages /;
they are mainly written under the spur of
some local or personal Indictment, which
long ago passed away. Though in struc-
ture metrical, they were in essence prosaic
they were read by few, and those few have
kindly forgotten them. Within the last ten
years, | have been accused of all possible
and some impossible offences against good
taste, good morals, and the common veal.
| have been branded aristocrat communist,
infdel, hypocrite, demagogue, disunionist,
traitor, corruptionist, &C., &c.-but / cannot
remember that any one has flung in my face
my youthful transgressions in the way OF
rhyme. Do not, then, accord to the malice
of my enemies this forgotten means of an
noyance. Let the dead rest and let me
enjoy the reputation which | covet and de-
serve, of knowing poetry from prose, which
the ruthless resurrection of my verses would
subvert, since the undiscerning majority
would blindly infer that co nsidered then
poetry. Let me up! Thine,

BsS@ The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune gives Senator Ben
jamin, of Louisiana, the following hard blow
in return for that gentleman's speech on the
Cuba question: .-. T..
In his speech to-day he was false to truth,
to humanity and to deceney. One half of
it was perverse and cruel assault upon the
entranchised race in the West Indies. Mr.
Benjamin is lawyer, we know. Judging
from the lineaments of his face and the tell
tale letters of his name, it may be inferred
that he descended from a race who, many
years ago, had hard time of it in the brick
yards of the Nile when African capitalists
compelled their Hebrew servants to work
without straw and without pay. So believ-
ing, we were hardly prepared to hear him
assert so vauntingly that tropical ATTITUDES
could be cultivated only by compulsory la
Dor, and, therefore, that compulsory labor
was just and right

Beg- The Memphis appeal of late date
contains the following item concerning one
of the Wards, who was one of the principal
causes of the death of the unfortunate But
Ter, few years ago:
A difficulty occurred on board the Mem
phis and Nicksburg packet, Victoria, on her
last upward bound trip, between Doctor
Cameron, of Prentiss, Miss, and Vic Ward,
who will be recollected in connection with
the Butler tragedy in Louisville, as the
youth whose chastisementled to the collision
which resulted in the untimely death of a
most estimable and useful citizen. A mis-
understanding arose between Cameron and
Ward, whereupon Ward drew a pistol and
fired at Cameron, the ball taking effect in
and carrying away considerable portion OF
the latter's upper lip, and completely de-
molishing a handsome and highly priced
moustache. Another illustration of the
truth of the old adage, "Train up child,
but it it is too late to repent yt+.ss.

the road was long, and the parents of the

g. Elliott was arrested, on the charge of
having murdered his wife, whose body was
found buried under mysterious circum-

liberated. While the coroners jury was
holding an inqueston the body, the prisoner

women, who tore out his hair and handled
him so roughly that his life was in danger.
He was then locked upin an upper room by
the officer, to keep him from the fury of the

RB~ A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette furnishes that paper with a letter
severely condemning the course of the Har-
per Brothers of New York, in endeavoring
to make capital out of Mr.. Prescott's former
connection with them. The correspondent
says he is not connected with or interested
in the affairs of any book Publisher what
ever, nor indebted to any one of them for
favors. But he cannot bear to see the
Messrs. Harper start the absurd story that
"they recommended Mr.. Prescott TO ac-
cept the proposals of Messrs, Phillips, Samp-
son 4 Co.
Something more, he adds, than garbled
letters and inunendoes is needed to make the
intelligent believe such stuff.
The Harpers are notorious for making
money out of anything they can lay their
hands to. No case of accident or suffering
of any kind happens but what you are sure
to see it pictured fourth in some one of their
publications. 1t seems that Mr.. PrescottS
death afforded them an opportunity for SELF
Advancement they could not let pass.

Second. That the Clerk be requested at
the close of each days session, to prepare a
list of all the orders for the next succeeding
day, and list of all bills for third reading,
and post the same in some convenient place
in the Senate Chamber.
Third. That any Senator, in speaking may
address the President from his own seat or
take position in front OF the Clerks desk
as he may choose.
This is move in the right direction
Let the desks be moved, and long-winded
speeches will soon be frowned down Were
congressman compelled to sit OH benches
and listen to their own dull, prosy essays
with which the country is fooded-their
speeches would soon be abandoned. But
So long as members can sit at their desks
and write letters, or frank political tracts
whilst one of their number is befogging
some subject in a storm of nonsense, SO long
will telegraphs, newspaper and constituencies
be bored with speeches noted for nothing in
