A Trip to the Country.

y We arc now at that period when all who
can spare the time, should indulge in short
recreation away from the busy town, to where
nature may be seen in It's artless beauty, and
where the air is fresh and invigorating. The
work Of the harvest is done, the richly laden
sheaves are in the stacks going up like yel.
low pyramids, and not very small ones Al
that. And we see Ill around on the sun-lit
slopes the piled up stocks Of corn. o, the

The merchant, and the mechanic, those

October and IL Suggestions.

Onoberl Season of soft suns and mild
airs; Of falling leaves and ripcned cropss-
Fruition Of the year; when gathered harvests
swell the barns and fill the cellars, 80 that
there shan Be no winter of want or discomfort.
The early morning sparkles with frosts or
dew drops, ct noon the suns rays reach US
delightfully."- tempered by the hazy atmos-
phere, and the cool evenings bringing the
family around the bright FIRE, closes the
day with charming contrasts.
"rherss beauty al around our paths.
Il but our watchfui eyes can trace
n midst familiar things and
Through their lowiy gu'se."
October suggests that all theharvest should
be carefully secured; that Indian hill should
be split, and stubble grounds plowed; it sug.
gests that apple trees that were not pruned
in June, may be attended to now.
The farmer should be busy this month,
securing his fall crops, which should be well
performed, and in season; potatoes buried
early should be protected from the effects Of
the warm, damp, and confined air, by means
Of hole in the top of the heap or column
but on the approach Of cold weather this must
be stopped. Mangle-wurzel, and ruta- baga
.turnips, cabbage, should be gathered in the
middle of this month. You should plow as
much as possible before winter, all soils are
better for being exposed to the frost for early
spring crops. Hogs should be regularly fed,
and the feeding places kept clean and well
Uttered: one bushel Of corn, fed in this month
viii fatten them more than two in December.
Pumpkins should be gathered and housed.
Now is the time to plant fruit and orna-
mental trees that have shed their leaves. 1t
is hoped that none will omit to plant fruit
and ornamental trees about their dwellings,
and other suitable places; it win render home
more pleasant, healthy, and agreeable.
Are there any loose clap or battens
upon the barn, they should be made fast, ard
every air hole, through which the sharp blasts
Of winter can penetrate to make your stock
uncomfortable, should be closed up, for "the
merciful man is merciful to his beasts" and
the good farmer would no sooner see one OF
his. oxen suffer from cold through his own
negligence, than one Of his children. AS the
sailor when he sees storm approaching,
takes care "to make all snug" so the good
farmer, as winter approaches, takes care to
make all comfortable.
October suggests to us all that this month
q usually delightful one to visit our friends
n adjacent towns and States, drawn by the
horses who have been our friends during the
summer months labor; well fed and groom
ed, they win enjoy it too. The air is cool,
pure, and elastic, the scenery attractive ana
the roads good. Do not then deny your
selves Of this common means Of higher
intellectual and agricultural culture, 10 that
you should be able to say thatyou have found
more true wisdom in this than in any former
month of October.

honorable men all over the world feel the
utmost contempt for the man who Will attempt
to blast the reputation of another by the testi-
mony Of notorious liars and thieves. And why?
The reason is patent 10 every honest man, and
hence need not be named. For the same reason
no honest Democrat will attempt to impeach the
Democracy or honor Of lifelong Democrat,
upon the testimony of baek-hearted Abolition
lists. And yet certain contemplate creatures in
the Breckinridge ranks have the unblushing
meanness to attempt to prove that Douglas is
not true Democrat BY the testimony of such
men as Anson Burlingame and Senator Wilson,
Of Massachusetts, Lovejoy and Trumbull of H.
linois, and John P Hae-all notorious Aboli-
ZIONIST, Old line Democrats, what do you
think of such witnesses? What do you think
of the Democrats who attempt to use them to
injure Democrat?
But the very fellows who avail themselves of
such dirty testimony against Douglas, forget to
state that every of the witnesses quoted de-
nounces Douglas in the most bitter terms, and
at the same time pats Breckinridge on the shoul-

June, and indeed every leading Republican
gan, make it a part of their daily business to
praise Breckenridge They forget that even
in this State the Republican editors and speak
ers everywhere encourage the Brcckinridgers,
and endeavor to make the Democrats believe
that the only way to carry this State against
Lincoln is to vote for Breckenridge Doug
las stands no show.
Now, does it not strike every man of sense
that if the Blacks believed this, they would
not tell it? We know they are moving heaven
and earth to carry this State. They already
have the figures, so they say, to prove that they
beat the Breckinridgers by at least FIVE thou
sand. They think, if they can induce few thou
sands Of the Douglas men to vote for Breckn-
ridge, under the impression that he alone can
carry the State against Lincoln, they may stand
a fair show Of winning the State against Doug
las, whom alone they are fighting. Hence,..is it
not absurd to suppose that they would show
the Democracy how to carry the State against
Lincoln? We ask any Brecknridger whether
he really believes that the Blacks would hon
estly tell them the best way to carry the State
against Lincoln? On the contrary, every sane
man must see that the Blacks are trying to
fool somebody"-are tr, ing to get Douglas
men to throw away their votes upon a man
who cannot possibly carry the State. Does it
not look that way? Ponder this question well
before you vote.

men to visit each precinct in the county, on
election day, for the purpose Of aiding the vo-

ForgctfuI, to Say the Least,

The 5. F. Herald publishes report of Con-
gressional Committee, during Gen. Jackson's
administration, which declared that it was the
duty of Congress to protect the property of the
citizens of the United States, when it was sub
ject to the operation ofunjust legislation by the
Territorial Government.
The Herald forgets to state, however, that just
sixteen years subsequent to that action of Con-
gress, leading statesmen Of AL parties gare up
their prerious Uie,cs in order to effect a compro-
mise which mig ght preserve the Union and expel
the negro question forever from Congress They
adopted the compromise measures of 1850. The
kansas-Nebraska Bill, adopted four years later,
was simply an application, 10 use the language
of the bill itself, of " the principle of non Inter
vention by Congress with slavery in the States
and Territories, as recognized by the legislation
of 1850, commonly called the Compromise
Measures" And the Cincinnati platform was
simply an endorsement of the great doctrine of
Congressional non intervention as embraced in
the compromise measures of 1850, and the Kan
sas-Nebraska Bill of 1854. Hence the unfair
ness, not to say downright dishonesty of bring
ing up the previous views and acts of the
Statesmen who consummated the compromise
measures of 1850, FOR the purpose of convicting
them of inconsistency.
The Herald says that in lSS4-just &c years
ago Gen. Cass was in the Cabinet, and Clay.
Webster, Benton and Bell were in Congress, and
of course must have given their consent to this
doctrine of protection, or Congressional inter-
yention.
Well, we will admit that in 1884, twenty-six
years ago, they were in favor of that doctrine,
but did they not subsequently, to wit: in 1850,
agree to abandon that doctrine Did they not
forego their previous views and all agree upon
the principles of the compromise meas
ureS? Did not both Democratic and Whig Ma
tional Conventions in 1852 endorse those meas
ures ? Did not the Cincinnati Platform declare
that the Kansas bill rightly applied to the Ter
ritories the doctrine of Congressional on-inter-
vention? Yes, yes No one but falsifer will
say no.
Thus we see, that even if in the days of Jack
of Congressional Intervention to protect slavery in
the Territories they abandoned that doctrine
when, in 1852, they endorsed the compromise
measures of 1850, and, in 1856 re-endorsed the
same measures, together with the Kansas-Ne-
brasks Act-whch measures embraced the
doctrine of SoS-ISTERvENTIoS-" non -interfe-
renee by Congress with slavery in State, Terri
tory, and in the District of Columbia"

Manures.--Their Abuse. .

No subccI o. 90 little understood. prAc,i-

formation on this subject, be dos % by sb-
,,rae, questions. which DO 20. fairly define

tion AMI TIL, diihealiy will continue to
exist. until mixed men, OF those who are
eonver,ani with nature. laws, and also
conv,r.an, with practical agriculture, shall
be ready TO solve the problems.
We claim that the chief value Of manure
consist. in it, inorganic constituents. and
their condition or stage Of prosrcssiop.-
Thus. we claim that every constituent Of an
inorganic kind. TO be found in an animal
organism. has greater value than similar
cou,,iiuen, in vegetable organism; that
the potash. soda. chlorine, aud every other
constituent Of the blood OF an animal, i
more valuable than an equal weight Of the
same constituent to be found in vegetable
matter aud We also claim, that the chef
value Of stable manure is il. inorganic mat
ter. OF that portion which will constitute
10. ash. Il burned that these inorganic
constituent, have greater value than after
burning. simply because their condition in

ni,roeenous portion Of the manure Is ouly

combination with the life principle Of the
plant. il enables water to dissolve more
freely the inorganic constituents, and sup
ply them to plants; that when a wastace
occurs in b.rn-Jard, by washing, It !. the
soluble portions Of the salts, composed Of
tbe inorganic constituents, passing away,
which renders such washing expensive, and
no, SIMPLY on aecoun! Of the loss Of the
ammoniacal matters. We claim that the
reason Why e1perimenteTs end such large
results occurring from manures carele'sly
spread upon the surface Of the soil, beyond
Ihe re.ul, eonsequsn, upon their action as
mulch, mus, be entirely due to the inor-
ganic constituents Of the manure which are
not volatile and il i, for this reason that
the bones Of animals. composed chiefly Of
inorganic matter, have - great value IN
agriculture, particularly when rendered 'ol-
ubls by treatment with sulphuric acid
When stable manuros are eOmPOs,ed with
hsadlands aud other inorganic matter. the
benefits arising therefrOm are twO-fold
FIRST. by securing greater amount oi di'is-
ION Of the valuable portions through the
whole mass. and secondly. by the chemical
actions which disspgage from the more in
sr. portion. those inorganic constituents
which. without the presence Of the active
principles continued in the more active
part, would no, be liberated and rendered
capable Of being Sssimilated by plants.

Of the ammonia isconosrncd as a manurial

the compost heap gives to the water perva'
