ARREST or Missouri JUDGE.-Judge ohm
Watson was recently arrested at Keytesvile,
Charlton County, on charge of having been
one of the party who broke open the county
safe, about year and half ago, and robbed
it of some $1,000. Tho Grand Jury of that
county indicted him for grand larceny and
burglary, and he was required to give bail to
the amount of $4,000. This case attracts q
great deal of public attention, partly from the
fact that the accused is man of considerable
wealth, and at the time the crime was COM
mitted was one of the Judges of the County

WASHINGTON, August 31.-According to dis
patches received at the Navy Department,
dated the 18th inst, Minister McLane was
passing the summer at the city of San An
dreas, and would return to Vera Cruz Sep
tember 1.
Two Spanish frigates, and one French brig
Of war were at Sacrificios.
The sick list of the Saratoga was slowly in
c-easing, but the captain hoped, by careful
attention, to stay the progress OF the disease,
although it was in the midst of the sickly
season.
A letter received in this city from Vera
Cruz states that Minister Otway has been
ordered by the British Government to avail
himself of the leave of absence previously
granted, and surrender the charge of the Le-
CATION to Mr.. Matthews, the Secretary of the
Legation.
Ably-written circulars have been addressed
by 0campo to the Governors of the several
States of Mexico, impressing upon them the
necessity and importance OF enforcing the
recent reformatory DEGREES of the Constitu-
tional Government.
Nothing concerning the late Convention
between Guatemala and Great Britain, the
former ceding large extent of territory, has
reached this Government in an official form,
but it is known that the Administration is
not an indifferent observer of events in that
quarter.
Numerous applications are pending for the
Deputy Marshalship for taking the next
census, but no appointments will be made
until further legislation by Congress.
Lieutenant j. j. Boyle has been ordered to
proceed 10 Panama to report to flag officer
MONTGOMERY for duty as Naval Store keeper
and Commissioner of Stores.

The EXPLOSION ON THE ALBEMARLE AND
CHzsEpRAKE CANAL.-The three slaves killed
by the explosion of boiler on the Albemarle
and Chesapeake Canal, last Tuesday, were
owned by Messrs. Nehemiah Foreman, Jesse
D. Sykes and Caleb J. Etterage, The whole
loss by the accident is $4,000. The Norfolk
Argus says Of the explosion:
1t was heard several miles distant. Three
valuable young slave men were terribly man
gled, and large portion of the body of one of
the killed could not bo found. One was cut in
two; heads aud limbs were blown off, and por-
tions of flesh and blood scattered in overy di-
rection. The machine was completely wrecked,
aud the huge timbers of which it was made
thrown about and shivered to pieces. Large
limbs were torn from trees hundred feet from
the machine, and the place where the accident
occurred presented frightful evidences of the
force and power of the explosion.

city, pithily says, the soil is intended for
cultivation forever, as long as men Of sense 1.-Two
omit If the earth continues to give bouute-
Gus crop, 1t must not be robbed of its power
to produce again and again. A sensible culti-
vator will treat his land right, and the land will
treat him right. 1t must be properly under
drained; and, in measure and character, by ma
nuTe or otherwise, the same properties taken
from the ground in crops must be returned
This is an important point too frequently
ignored. We must be honest and kind to the
earth-we must give and lakeland give back
Of the same kind wotake. If eproduce crop
of wheat, what the earth parts with to make
wheat, must be returned. What goes into corn,
or wheat, or vegetables, must bo returned in
kind, by ploughing in the stalk or decaying
leaf, or by similar constituent elements in ma.
nure. The soil grows sick and illiberal only
because We are poor doctors and unskillful
nurses or husbandmen.

A German lady took her lad, some three
years old, to her Lutheran Minister, the other
day, for private christening. She had him
dressed up, head combed, and hair nicely
"roached," which was done to the complaisant
satisfaction of young Germano-Americo. As
the sprinkling was being done, and the hand
laid on the lads head, ho abruptly broke forth,
"Darn you, don't you spile my roach, or I'll
kick you." The parson got through formally;
but, with him and the mother, on retiring,
there was hearty explosionin laughter. You
can get along with bigger bodies than that
boy, provided you don't poI their roach.

open forum, when the experienced tcrra; ;Aor;,

and expose shallow arti6ce and humbuggery.
II comprehends, as members, the thinking and
practical gardeners, fruit growers and nursery
men Of the noighborhood, and is engrossing
the attention Of correspondents and contribu-
tors from other States. 1t has business officers
and industrious committees it has a full library
Of books Of reference, and illustrates in the
productions of its members what industry and
intelligence can do to improve and adorn what
it touches. Every Saturday morning these
workers come from their gardens and their
orchards to the congress, discuss, debate, ex-
hibit samples Of novelties and compare. So
much for their self-culture. Semi-annually
