wheat, as we'll as an increased amount Of
pasturage over what could be realized from
an ordinary dressing, and lasting for a longer
period. The idea prompting to this gene
rous usage is, that land will pay very much
in proportion to what you invest in the i'm
provemont of its soil, or that where much
is given to it in the shape Of fertilizers and
thorough cultivation, much may be expected
from it in crops returned. The locality Of
this lot is withal so convenient to the barns,
that it is quito desirable on that account, to
make it over into productive pasture Ap.
pication has been made to MIR. John Johns
ton, Of Geneva, New York, for the seed
wheat. lie is very successful wheatgrow-
err and has several valuable varieties Of seed,
which he has been at considerable pains to
procure and perfect. This is to me an in
teresting experiment. the results of which [
expect to have something to say about here
after in the Farmer.
1t may be observed that the various fields
spoken Of in this communication, being free
from uncommon roughncss, or steep decIivi-
ty Of surface, arc tolcrably well situated for
blowing, and arc in the immediate vicinity Of
village, where pasturago commands a high
price. Under such circumstances, one can
well afford 10 improve such lands in the ways
above mentioned. Other circumstances may
OF course, require variations from these
modes Of improving pasture land, OR may,
for tho present, forbid attempts at improve
mcnt. OF that, each one must judge for
himself; but as a general proposition, in the
older settled districts Of New England, In

On the dear rocks where you have sat before,

Come once more, or wild st2sscs will intrudc,
And clasp their hand across the narrow wey

And through the PUSHES, winds hum mourntuIly,
As Just moved in slumh?r, and the stream
Still struggles through its crosses to the sea.

The Census of 1s6o-The North nnd
the south.


From the New York Sunday Mercury.l
From the census returns already receiv-
ed, it is evident that the increase of the
white population in the free States, over
that of the Slave States, has been in far
greater ratio between 1850 and 1860 than
it was between 1870 and 1850. This, too,
with the allowance of large emigration
of free labor TO Missouri, Maryland, Della
ware, and even Virginia, since those
States made abatements to the suicidal
policy of prescription previously enforced
within their limits. According to the CEN
sus of 1850, the population of the Union
was something over twenty three millions.

With these figures before them, will the

cession movements? Will they remain
firm in tue belief that perpetual slavery
and proscriptive policy are calculated to
aid the prosperity of their section of the

special faculty called woman's tact. Wo-

woman is too absolutely secret to set up
public sign over whatever may be buried
in her mind. She gossips, prAttles, pours
ont what she does not care to hold, with
such an air Of unreserved simplicity that
all mankind is mvstified, and says, in
friendly jest, IA woman only hides what
she don't know Among the umeducatcd
poor this difference between the woman
and the man is the most conspicuous.
The innate powers of the sex place her
at once upon an em1nencc that man can
only reach by education. She must needs
often be tied to one in whom there is not
the grain of understanding requisite to the
formation of true sympathy. By far the
greatest number of unskillea laborers and
mechanics live more or less happily. and
more or less conscious of the hidden life

Poetry and Politics.
[Trom the \. Y. Tribuue.I


The war of roses is taking poetical
turn. 1t will be remembered that ex-Sen-
ator Dickinson, in his speech atthe Cooper
Institute, expressed his sense of the double
fraud pructiced upon him by the Softs at
the Syracuse and Charleston Conventions,
and his determination to punish his he
trayers, by quoting the defiance which
Fitz james hurled in the face of Roderick
phu:
Twice have sought Clan-Alpine's glen
1n peace; but when come again,
leone with banner, brand and bow,
As leader seeks his mortal foe.
Not to be outdoue by the Great Hard, eth
er in defiant courage or devotion to the
classics, ex-Controllcr Church, in recent
speech at Lockport, cited the slogan of
Dickinson, and said he could not better
express his own eagcrneSs to cross swords
with him than by repeating the lines mme-
diately following those quoted by Dickin-
sou, and applying them to him:
For lovelorn swain in lady's bower
Neer painted for the appointed hour
As l. until before me stand
This rebel ctiettlin and hi band.
This was n happy retort of the Control
ler. But we need not remind him aud his
clansmen that the omens are against Them
They will remember that when afterwards
Roderick and James met at Coilontogle
foFu, man 10 man, ana steer 10 steeII tue
fight, though desperate, turned against the
Northern chieftain, and in favor of the
Southern prince; and that in the death
grapple, though both went down, yet,
"Unwounded from the dreadful close;
But breathless all, FItz-JameS arose.
And Elltered thanks to Heaven for life,
Redeemed, unhoPed, from desperate strife"
Nor will the clansmen of Roderick nor
the liegemen of Fitz-Jomes forget that
"Four mounted squicos iu Lincoln green"
after viewing "the bloody spot" where
Roderick lay stiff in death, rushed off to
Court to tell the welcome news that the
Squatter Sovereign of the Highlands was
no more.

OF the nineteen and half millions of
whites, the free States had l3,33O,65O,
while the States accursed with slavery
could show but about half that number,
or 6,222,4Is. Between the years 1910 and
1850, the white population of the whole
Union increased about FIVE and quarter
miIlions-the ratio of increase in the free
Statos being 39.42 to 34.26 in the slave
States. Supposing, then, that we only al
low the same ratio TO apply to the ten years
ending with 1860, we shall find that the
white population of the free North has
proportion of 60 per cent, to 81 per cent.
in the eusIaved South, giving to the free
States over two-thirds of the whole white
population of the Union1

To CORRESPONDENTS.

AS we are very much pressed for room at this
time, and will be for some time to come, we
make the following suggestions to correspon'
dents, which we hope they will observe:
l. Send nothing to the paper that you are moi
sure is of public interest and worth publishing
We want no communications lust to I'LL op.'
2. Be as brief as possible, leaving out every
unnecessary sentence and word.
8. Do not wait until Monday before you send
in your communications, but let US have them
as long before the day OF publication as possible,
and try to write them in readable hand.
4. When your communications fail to appear
do not get angry with Us, as if you were treated
badly for be assured we have every motive and
feel the greatest disposition to crafty every cor
respondent when it is practicable.
5. Hereafter when the name of writer is de-
manded by any one who considers himself ag-
grieved, we shall give it up Internationally.

From Europe.


By the arrival of the steamer North Briton al
Portland, and of the City of Washington at New
York we have foreign dates to the a2th nit.
Parliament was opened on the Oath. The
Queens speech on the occasion was pacific and
considered to be of favorable import. Her Maj
esty says in reference to the San Juan affair
that further difficulty has been prevented by the
equitable and eonclliatory arrangements OF the
American government.
Capt Harrison, of the steamer Great Eastern
has been drowned.
The commercial treaty has been signed be-
tween England and France.
The terms of the Commercial Treaty between
France and England are not authenticity known,
but it is said the English Government frankly
carried out the principles offree trade; and that
it ensures the complete and effective assimila-
ton OF the French and English flags in mara
time intercourse, and stipuates that on the con-
clusion of the treaty, England and France will
enter into negotiations with other powers tor
similar treaties.
1t is rumored that the French army is to be
reduced to one hundred thousand men. The re-
port of the French Treasury shows hourshing
condition of the finances.
The new Sandman Cabinet has been announ-
ced, agreeing with the previous announcement.
An English frigate, it is said, saluted the flag
of the new Government OF tuscany.
A ministerial crisis has arisen in Naples
