Senator Wilson was before the Co nmlttee to-day.
He states that early in May 1853 Mr. Forbes came TO
his seat in the Senate Chamber, introduced HIMSELF
and informed him that he (Forbes had been employed
by Brown 10 20 TO Kansas TO drill some forces IN 1917
that Brow had not paid him for his troubles that ms
tForbess) family was starving in Europe,
and that the men in the East who had
Contributed money for the defense of Kansas
ought 10 pay him. He was much excited,
and denounced Brown, and others. He said that some
of the arms which were sent to Kansas had passed
into Browns hands, and were stored III Iowa; that he
was not safe man, and that these arms ought to be
taken out of his control Surprising that he referred
TO the Border difficulties between Missouri and Kan
sas and that Brown might retaate any attacks upon
Kansas by going into Missouri, he wrote to DIR. Howe
suggesting TO him 10 see some OF the men who had
contributed arms for defense in Kansas to get those
arms out of Browns hands, and place them in the
control of reliable men in that Territory, who would
see that they only used for defense.
He said that if those arms should be
used for any illegal purposes, il would
involve the men who had contributed them in trouble
DIR. Howe Immediately wrote back that an order I'd
been sent 10 Brown TO deliver up those arms. The
matter passed out of his mind, and he supposed all
was right. lie never had heard a word about the
organization of forces for the invasion OF Harpers
Ferry il 1853, or aterwald, and did not know that
Howe bad sent his letter TO Brown.
The Resident Democratic National Committee
several days ago instructed their Chairman TO call on
Senator Mason TO inquire into the authenticity of the
newspaper dispatches in relation to the proceedings
before the HaTpers Ferry Committee. he was as
sured that no information had been furnished by any

The Summer Shower.
BY 7. BUCHANAN READ.

Before the stout harvesters faeth the grain,
As when the strong storm-wnd is reaping the plain,
And oiters the boy in the brery lane;
But yonder aslant comes the silvery rain,
Like long line of spears brightly FURNISHED and tall
Adown the white highway, like cavalry feet,
1t dashes the dust with its numberless feet,
Like murmurless school, in their leafy retreat,
The wild birds sit listening the drops round them beat
And the boy crouches close to the blackberry wall.
The swallows alone take the storm on the wing,
And, taunting the tree sheltered laborers, sing,
Like pebbles the rain breaks The face of the spring.
While bubble darts up from each widening ring
And the boy, in dismay, hears the loud shower fall.
But soon are the harvestera tossing the sheaves:
The robin dartsout from his bower of leaves
The wren peereh forth from the moss-covered caves
And the rain spatter'd urchin now gladly perceives
That the beautiful bow bendeth over them all.

Depth and Size Of Drains.

1t is totally impracticable Tor any indiyid-
ual to tell Vhere drain should. be cut Or
how deep or how mjde drains should be made,
without going on the ground during wet and
sometimes dry part Of the season, and OK
amlnlng the sources Of the surplus water, and
the iucli alton Of the ground where drain
is thought TO be needed. The young farmer
should never be satisfied with drain that is
not thirty inches deep; and the instances arc
very rare whore it should not be better to cut
it thirty inches, than less than depth. In
some places it mag be allowable, and drain
the sill well, to put sneaH tile in a ditch only
two feet deep. But for large tile, and par
ticularIy for stone, ditch should never be
less than thirty inches deep. Drains that are
thirty inches deep will be just as enectual in
drying some fields, as il they were three or
four feet deep. On the contrary, drains only
thirty inches deep in some fields, would not
be balf as ohectuai in draining the land, as
they would if they we're forty or fifty inches
in depth, In some places it will be nccessa-
ry 10 sink the bitches four feet deep in order
to "get the water" or to reach the v9ins.-
But when the water veins a reached at the
depth Of thirty inches, il will be mourning a
bill Of useless expense to sink the bitches
deeper than that depth. 1t is no detrimeut
nor disadvantage to land to have the drains
four feet deep because water will percoIatc
into deep drain about as soon as it will in,
to Staii0aO drain twenty-five or thirty inches

AGRICULTURAL PAPERs.-.Tho follow,

AGRICULTURAL PApERs-.The following
testimony Of Horace Groeley to the value Of
agricultural papers, we presume will have
weight even where his political opinions would
be deemed horctcal
There are at present some fifty or sixty
periodicals published in Cur country devoted
to Iarming-as many presume, as in all
the world beside. They have been built ND
at great expense of talent, labor, and money;
for when Col. Skinner started the first Of
them at Baltimore, souc forty Or fifty years
ago, the idea Of tea hing farmers anything
in that way was hooted by them as ridiculous
and he found it hardly possible 10 give his
carly MURDERS away. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been spent on these
publications; and they are this day, in my
judgment, doing more to promote the true
growth Of the country end the substantial.
enduring welfare of our people, than Con.

port Of which they are taxed some forty mil

Winter Wheat.

At the course Of Agricultural Lectures last
Winter, Levi Bartlett, Esq, of New Hamp-
shire, lectured on the cultivation of Winter
wheat in the New England States, but espe-
cially in the State Of Now Hampshire.
Prior to 1852, most persons, said he,
would as soon have thought of growing or.
angcs in that State as wheat Few persons
there had ever seen wheat field At that
time one OF his neighbors visiting New York,
was so we'll pleased with the appearance Of
the wheat fields that he procured seed and de.
termined to attempt its cultivation. His first
crop produced abundanty, and this he dis.
posed Of to those of his neighbors VINO were
willing to experiment in its cultivation. Some
failed to get any favorable results, but those
who cultivated thoroughly and sowed early
got from 10 to 20 bushels to the acre. His
own experiments for six years have given him
an average of Is bushels, and he had not at
tempted to grow large crops. His method
was to turn over sod and SOW it at once top
dress, at the time of sowing, with $50 pounds
Of guano, Is bushels Of ashes, and one bushel
OF salt for each acre soak the seed before
sowing, in weak brine for two hours, and roll
IN ashes; SOW the latter part Of August or
first of September. Late sowing is useless,
for the nudge will destroy it, but we have no
Hessian fly to injure it if early sown Those
varieties which ripen early are best. He had
grown the Japan wheat for four years. and
found it to succeed we'll. 1t ripens early,
though it is u red wheat, and does not make
as fine -four as the white. He thought if
Com. Perry had brought forty bushels of it
to this country, it would have been of more
value than the entire expense of the Japan
Expedition. Mr.. Bartlett closed by express
ing the opinion that the day was not ar dis
tant when New England would raise nearly
all the wheat they would consume, and no
urged that her people should take hold of the
matter in earnest, and prosecute it thorough
| ly. They would certainly succeed, and in
stead Of handing over q ten-doIar bill every
time they wanted barrel Of -four, they would
only have to measure up four bushels of wheat
Of their own growing, and take it to the mill
for grinding"

How TO PACK EGGs The following direc-
items are given by one who has had a good
deal Of egg packing to do, as the best meth
ol Always use clean oats. First put
them one inch deep i'll the bottom of the bar
rel then pretty firm sheet of paper; then
half inch of oats again, we'll pressed; then
eggs, end up, followed by oats and eggs as
before, but working each layer of oats with
the hand 5nugly down around the eggs next
the barrel, as well as rubbing them efcctual-
ly in between each Of the eggs in the layer.
l use board some six Or eight inches square,
with loop or staple in the centre, for press
ing each layer Of eats firmly down. There
will be something gained by lifting and drop.
ping the barrel square on the end, but not by
shaking, as it disturbs tho layers. When it
gets to- heavy to lift, use board three
Iourths as large as the head, and get Oh it,
iacrea,in your weight with a spring. End
as you begin, with paper and oats, getting
on the head and driving it in. The secret
lies all in packing tie oats. Oats are better
worth sending to market than hay, and just
as safe. have sent ten barrels at time
without losing a single egg. You must pack

How to Hold a plow.

After the pIow has been correctly adj ust-
ed, the young farmer, if he would make a
skilful and complete plowmao, must be care
full to observe and to Practice the following
rules: Always keep the pillow as nearly level
as is practicable. Stand up straight between
the handles, and never fall into the unwork-
man.liko practice of walking two or three
steps behind the handles, Take firm hold
Of the handles, and make the arms SO stiff,
if it is necessary, that the handles will take
the plowman off his feet before it can devil
ate from a right line. If stone or anything
else should cant the pillow from its erect posi-
ton, with a quick jerk with one hand set it
instantaneously erect. Keep the eye good
portion Of the time on the furrow.slicc, to sec
if it does not cut too wdc and to see if it
all seems to be broken ~, and whether there
is not a narrow strip that remains unbroken.
Some plowmon, too indo ent to step up to
their work, will support themselves, in part,
by the handles, and will roll to the right and
left as huge ship does in storm, carrying
the handles of the blow with them, until the
pillow almost loses Inc furroN-slice, or cuts one
so wide that it cannot turn in, when they
will begin to fright up Such plowmen
always make crooled burrows: and no plow-
man can perform job neatly who does not
cast his eye forward Of Tie team and pillow,
and endeavor to cut straight burrows BY
riding on the handles of the pillow from an
INDECENT habit, or for the purpose OF keeping
the pillow from running too deep, increases
the draft of the pillow always ; because when
the handles Of pillow are loSg and the
plowman rests heavily npon them, the f4l-
crum being at the heel Of the Landslide, and
the weight at the end OF the beam where the
draft is downward, the draft is increased as
much, many times, as it would be if u num-
Der Of hundred pounds Of stone were carried
on the pillow. GA the contrary, when plow-
man walks up square with his handles, and
instead Of riding on them, lifts littla, AID
at the same time leans Il little forward, he
will diminish the draft Of his pow from
twenty to fifty pounds and at the same time
pillow a turrow just as deep and wide as he
who indolently rides on his handles.

RAREY AMONG THE SYRIAN HoRsEs.-In his
eastern trip, Mr.. Rarey has combined business
with pleasure, for he has made only the orthO-
doX tour through the COuntry-that is to saw
from Jaffl to Jerusalem, thence to Damascus
via Samara and the Sea of Galilee and thus
on to Beirut by the way OF Baalbec making at
the same time several detours into the desert
to search for the great tribe of Bedouins who
hang among the borders of Syria and Pales-
tine. In Jerusalem he literally "astonshed
the natives" in subduing the ferocity of the
Pacha's stud, and by an exhibition of his pow
er over the horse creation before the resident
consuls- His pursuit after the Bedoun camps,
however, was unsuccessful. A three days
ride into the desert convinced him that they
were beyond his reach and when he was in.
formed that they were more than twenty days
journey beyond the Jordan, he abandoned the
search, contenting himself with seeing all the
Arabian horses i'll Jerusalem, Damascus, and
Beirut In Beirut, Mr. II rey received every
attention to which his reputation entitled him.
invitations to dinner and dejemer crowded
upon him in such numbers that he was forced
to decline some of them for want of time. The
stud of the French consul general, Count Ben
teroglis, composed of fifteen splendid Arabian
horses, received his special attention, and were
pronounced to be remarkably fine collection.
One incident connected with his visit to Sy-
ria is Of peculiar interest. Mr.. johnson, the
U. S. Consul, introduced him to the somewhat
famous Ayoub Bey who presented Hon. w.
IL. Seward, Of New York, while visiting this
country last summer, with three fine Arabian
horses, which are to be forwarded to the Uni
ted States by first opportunity. Inasmuch as
Ayoub Bey claimed for these horses the best
blood in Syria, our consul was anxious to OBJ
tain Mr. Rareys opinion upon these specimen
horses which are soon to be shipped to Au-
burn, N. Y The Bey ordered the Seward
horses out, or two of them rather, for one was
absent in the mountains, and they were trotted
up and down the paved courtyard, to the great
delight of those who were gathered to witness
some grand exhibition. There was no exhibit
ton, but Mr.. Rarey after examining them
thoroughly, declared himself better pleased
with them than any others he had seen in sly
ria. One is a colt of two years, and the other
large bay of seven years.

QUEEN ELIZABETH AND EssEx.-More pro
fuse than generous, more rash than brave, he
is forever putting Elizabeth in a fume now
by squandering money, now by throwing away
lives. She does not like to pass him by-for
his father was her friend when friends were
scant with her. 1t is a trait in the Queen as
she grows old, that she likes to see the sons of
her first and best friends near her person.
Hunsdon is her chamberlain, Cecil her secre.
tary She loved Sydney for his fathers sake.
She loves Essex for his fathers sake But
Essex has a second claim on her love, which
her rancorous sanderers have never thought
good to name; he is her very near
kinsman of the Boleyn blood. Essex
and the two Careys are her only male
relations on her mothers side, as James
of Scotland is her sole surviving male relation
of her fathers race. He was born into her
lap and into her love; his grandmother, Lady
Knollys, is her first cousin; and she clings to
him with a clannish pride which she only feels
for her mothers kin. All his proud jerks she
laughs at bears with, as signs of blood. That
she loves him more than lady of sixty may
love her cousins grandchd is a monstrous
fable No man of sense believes it, or ever
did believe it. Warmer love would have been
sin against nature. Essex's letters to her,
though trimming with poetry, playfulness and
compliment, are dutiful and chaste. In her
letters to him there is not a line that she
might not have sent to grandson of her
own
