AMERICAN LAW.

The Sickles case is now before the public, with all it's sickening details, it's facts, plead ings, and " triumphant acquittal" To our mind, the whole affair is one of the most de- plorable that has ever transpired among us deplorable for the fagrancy of the crime, in volving so many parties occupying so conspio- uous positions in society deplorable in the whole progress of the trial with it's daily streams of poison poured through the land in the channels of public intelligence deplora- ble in the consummation, for the doctrines avowed by counsel and jury and dcplorable for the noisy exultations and congratulations which succeeded. We have never supposed that Mr. Sckles would be convicted of mur- der, though we must say we do not see how any man could doubt that such conviction was demanded by the law and the facts of the case. We have had no particular desire that MT. Sickles should be hung and we have no idea that such consequence would have fol- lowed, even had he been convicted by the ju- " but that verdict of "Guilty" was re- qured for the vindication of law and of jus tice, so far as the court was concerned, seems to us perfectly manifest.
 But the ground on which the acquttal was based, we regard as most eminenty mon- strous. The jury, it appears, acquit Mir. Sickles, "upon the principle that. in the ab sence of any adequate punishment by law for the crime of adultery. the man who violates the honor of his ncighbor in this way does so at the peril of his life, and if he falls by the outraged husbands hands, he deserves his doom," and this is intended to be established as "a principle of American law" So we are told in the papers. The doctrine thus af- 6rmed, we repeat, is monstrous. The logical consequences, and, we greatly fear, the practi- cal consequences, of such a precedent, will prove perilous and indefensibe in the extreme. That an intelligent jury could be found dispo- sed thus to legalize private and personal re- venge and retaliation, seems almost incredible. If ore man may thus take the law into his own hands, another may if Q member of Congress may, poor man may if an "hon- orable" man may, vile man may and if any man may. of course any woman may and where is the limit to the disorder aud woe that legitimately follow :? If this is not de- stroyiDg thc foundations of law and govern. mcnt, we know not what s We confess we do not know how to be quiet and patient un- der such decisions, unless indeed upon the ground taken by good friend of ours who recently remarked that he rejoiced greatly in every fresh triumph of the devil and of wick edness, because he believed that God intended to use every such victory of wrong for the more complete overthrow of the devil and of wickedness in the end. Certainly we can have no other basis of hope for our country and for the world, but in Him who can "make the wrath of man to praise Him." and who Gre strains Cor grds himself with) the remainder"

LABOR A BLESSING.

We'll has it been said by modern English writer, Gin work there is always hope, in idleness only perpetual despair" Tell us not of the joys of a life of luxury and ease-lued by the symphonies of sweetest music, and qu- eted concerning all apprehensions of the fn- ture by hoarded treasures of wealth. Better far that the undying soul of man should re- ceive its lesson in a sterner school, that it should be trained for its never ending exis- tence in severest duties. It is not the dull, waveless lake, that we love to contemplate with no inlet or outlet, though the heavens are bright above it, and the clear water re- fleets the serene sky and surrounding verdure upon it's pellucid bosom, but we love to see it rather ruffled by the breezes of summer and the blasts of autumn, bearing upon it's pillows the white-winged messengers of commerce, la- den with products from all climes, or sending forth it's constant supplies of running water, to refresh. and gladden., and beautify the earth.
 When the whole earth is teemng with the products of manly toll, when every land bears the records or holds the monuments of its grand and benignant triumphs-let us as work ing men and members of working communi- ty, guard ourselves against the follies of those who, in whining tcnes are forever crying that "labor is curse" and resolve that whatever our hands find to do, do it with all our might.

"ALLESSANDRIAn D

This place, the rendezvous of the Sardinian army, whither the King has gone to take command, is probably destined to play an im- port part in the coming war; It is fortified city near the eastern frontier of Piedmont, whose guns bristle towards the Austrian ter ritory. It stands in the midst of sterile plain. It is the great stonghold of Piedmont, and is to tn Sardinians what Gibraltar is to the English, or Sevastopol was to the Russians. During the reign of the French in Italy, it's formidable Notifications made it one of the strongest places in Europe, but these were subsequently demolished, leaving only the cit adel. Within the past few years workmen have been busy in reconstructing them, in an- ticipation of the events now at hand. In the surrounding plain, two miles distant, is Napo- Icons celebrated battlefield of Marengo. Al lessandria is garrisoned with several thousand troops, and being connected with Turin and Genoa by railway, any number can be readily concentrated there. To capture it would bea crowning glory to the Austrian Generals, and to lose it, g deep humiliation to Sardinia.

MORAL SUAs1oN.-A story originating, VIC believe, in a Hartford paper, is going tho rounds of the press, which is quite incorrect, and does injustice to MT. Andrew Terry, of Terryve. It represents him as out of pa- tience with a notorious and very troublesome grog-hole, and finally knocking in the heads of the rum casks, and giving the seller certain length of time to get out of town in, which mandate the fellow obeyed. -5
 The facts are that after having been long troubled by the abcminable drunkenness, Mir. Terry went to the shop one Monday morning at the request of wife, to bring away her drunken husband, and found there other drul- ken men. He asked the keeper, who is tai- Tor by trade, if those newly arrived casks con- taining rum, gin and beer, and other cheap "rotgut" were his. The tailor replied in the affirmative MT. Terry asked if he would sell them, and if so, at what price. The tailor said $50, which MT. Terry paid, and then hs turned the poisonous stuff upon the ground. Mr. Terry Cffered either to assist him in earll- ing legitimate livelihood at his trade, or in leaving town, if he preferred. He chose the latter, and Mr. Terry aided him in selling some of his property, and furnished team to help remove the remainder. There was no VI. olence or threatening, and the grog seller ap- peared to be much pleased with the kind treatment and advice. We submit that this makes a better story than the origual and it has the merit of being true. Mebs don't pay in the long run, in any business. To be sure, it was better than the man deserved, but it is to be hoped that he knows it, and will behave in future.-Hartf. Press.

THE FARM AND THE GARDEN.

The following excellent hints are from that first rate paper, the Rural New Yorker: Circumnavigate your whole farm, and if you find in any fence corner good rail, put 1t on the fence and if you find stumps, stones, bro ken rails, or bushes, put them out of the way. | Let every fence corner be ready for the scythe i; l then you will be able to gather much valuable fodder to store away for scarce time. Be sure and pick up all sticks and stones upon your newly seeded meadows-we win not insult you by supposing that your old meadows require any thing of the kind-then roll them in wet time, and you will have good time with your moving machine. If you have omitted to dig about and dung your fruit trees, omit it no longer. Labor ju- diciously expended on fruit trees will meet with large reward.
 Be sure of one tbing-your care and la- bors will increase upon you as the season ad- vances so see to it that your hay racks, reap. CTS, mowers, &c., are at once put in order otherwise you may wait for them at @ serious cost. The right time for doing any branch of farm work is a braef time so rapid are the changes of our seasons that day or two's de. lay may spoil the profits of large transac- tion. Therefore, Be ready.
 Have you good rain water cistern, with good troughs and conductors leading to it3 That is among the indisputable and inalienable "rights of women"
 Have you a good drain to conduct the sur. plus water of the kitchen to the compost heap. which is of course well supplied with the scra- pings of the walks, muck, sods, &c. .? Have you gathered up the chips from your winter chopping, the splinters and small sticks, bits of hopl Ro uvh;oh fhn when dry are so useful to start the fire Let these be carefully gathered and put in some dry place above the ground, ready for use.
 It may not be too late to turn some rivulet on to your pasture or meadow, and so increase your grass. Irrigation is much neglected, but very important operation in farming. Standing water, however beneficial to grass, is destructive of grain. See that there arc no ponds on your grain fields.
 High hills, and even mountains are favora- ble places for the cultivation of potatoes Lev el ground or slopes to the west or north are more favorable than slopes to the east or south. On the east slope they heat too rapidly after cold night, while on south slope they heat too much at noon. We err in planting pota- toes in the same soil and position with corn, melons, &c., unless constrained by the want of one that is cooler. In the Southern States they have learned to put the potato in their coolest soils. But potatoes need well drain. ed soil as much as corn.
 Corn is liable to rot in the ground if planted too early; or if it does not rot it comes up yellow and sickly, becomes stulted, and makes but little growth until warm weather. As general thing, we have no doubt corn planted from the twentieth of May to the first of June will ripen as early as though planted before that time, while the chances of success are much greater.

Napoleon sent to the Corps Legislatif, on the Sd the following
 "Austria, by ordering the entering of her army into the territories of Sardinia, our ally, has declared war against us. She thus vio- lates treaties and menaces our frontier. All the great Powers have protested against this act of aggression. Piedmont having accepted the conditions, one asks what can be the req son of this sudden invasion ? It is because Austria has driven matters to such an extrem- ity, that her dominions must either extend to the Alps, or Italy must be free to the shores of the Adriatic, for every corner of Italy which remains independent endangers the power of Austria. Hitherto moderation has been the rule of my conduct, but now energy becomes my first duty. France must now to arms and resoutely tell Europe, wish not for conquest, but am determined to maintain my national and traditional policy. observe treaties on condition that they are not violated against me. I resp, ct territories and the rights of neutral powers, but boldly avow my sympa- thies with people whose history is mingled with our own and who now groan under for of anarchy. Her will was to give me power sufficiently strong to reduce into subjection the abettors of disorder and the incorrigible mem- bers of old factions, who are necessarily seen concluding compacts with our enemies, but she has not for that purpose abandoned her civil izirg character. Her natural allies have all ways been those who desire the amelioration of the human race and when she draws the sword it is not to govern, but to free. The object then of this war is to restore Italy to herself. Not to impose upon her change of master, and we shall then have upon our iron tier friendly people who will owe to us their independence. We do not enter Italy to fo- ment disorder, or to disturb the power of our Holy Father whom we replace upon his throne, but to remove from him this foreign pressure which burdens the whole Peninsula, and to help to establish order there based upon law full satisfied interests. In fine then, we enter this classic ground, rendered illustrious by so many victories, to seek the footsteps of our fathers God grant that we may be worthy of them
 I am abont to place myself at the head of the army. leave to France the Empress and my son, seconded by the experience and en- lightenment of the Emperor's last surviving brother. She will understand how to show herself worthy of the grandeur of her mission. l confde them to the valor of the army which remains in France to keep watch upon our frontiers and to guard our homes. l conhde them to the patriotism of the National Guard. l con6de them, in a word, to the entire peo- pie, who will encircle them with that affection and deyotedness of which l daily receive SO many proofs Courage. then, union.

The following proclamation has been addressed by Victor Emanuel to his troops:
 "Soldiers Austria, who is increasing her armies on our frontiers, and threatens to invade our territory because here liberty reigns with order-because not might, but concord and affection between the people and the sovereign here govern the State-because the groans of oppressed Italy here find an echo-Austria dares to ask us, who are only armed in self de- fence, to lay down our arms and submit to her clemency.
 "That insulting demand received the answer it deserved. I rejected it with contempt. Soldiers, I tell it to you, convinced that you will take an insult to your King and your na- tion as an insult to yourselves. The announce ment l make to you is the announcement of war Soldiers, to arms
 You will have to face an enemy not new to you But if brave and disciplined you need not fear the comparison. and you may quote with pride the battle of Geto, Pastrenga, San ta Lucia, Somma- Compagna, and even Custoz- ga, where four brigades alone struggled for three days against five corps q armee.
 "I will lead you. We have made each oth- CTS acquaintance before this, on more than one occasion, in the heat of battle, when, fighting by the side of my magnanimous father, l had the opportunity to admire your courage.
 "I am sure that on the field of honor and of glory, you will maintain, even add to, your reputation for bravery. You will have for companions those intrepid soldiers of France, conquerors ill so many noted battles, who were your brethren in arms on the Tchernaya, aud whom Napoleon H., who is always to be found where there is just cause to defend or civii- zation to promote, sends generously to our as sistance, in numerous battalions.
 "March, then, confident in victory, and twne new raurels round your flag, that trlcol- or. under the folds of which the elate of the youth of Italy is collected, and which indicates to you that the task before you is the inde- pendence of Italy-that just and holy work which will be your battle-cry.
