But all havey loans lying fat, aud clays,
are greatly benefited by Fall blowing.
The teams are generally in the best con
ditiOn for plowing at this season. They
have good paslurage through the Sum
mer, and as rule, have less to do than
in the Winter and Spring. l: puts the
Spring work very much ahead to have all
the green sward turned over in the Fall.
However much of this may be done. the
teams will have enough TO do in the Spring
in caring manure, cross -plowing. harrow

planting. ,...
In the Fall, the lands tba. are most
benefited by plowlng, are generally in the
best condition for the operation. In the
Spring, they are often SO wet that they
cannot bs pIowed until May or June
Now they are dry, and will crumble as
they are turned over.

II seems that the "infected district" Of
Virginia, known as the "Pan Handle" is
about to become matter Of contention
between the States of Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Whether either Of them gets it,
depends after all, very much on the disposi-
tion of Virginia in the matter, and the value
she sets upon her abolition territory. The
people resident therein might also desire to
have their say about the transfer If Vir-
ginia consents to sell, the competition be-
tween Ohio and Pennsylvania will doubt
less be quite spirited. The chances are,
that if the Old Dominion sells off her ter
ritory as fast as it becomes "abolitionizod,"
her area will rapidly be reduced. Thus

ing proceedings in the Ohio House of Rep
resentativcs on the 21st inst.

tion which was referred to the committee

People who mind their own business have
no good opinion of one who is not slight
enough to hold a secret, and they despise
tattling-from the school boy tell tale, who
wipes his nose from elbow to cuff, up to the
neighborhood nuisance who sweetens her
green-tea with gossip, and snuffs "scotch"
and scandal.
But a reticence that prevents mere vol
untary testimony is one thing, and contu-
macy is far different thing. For stubborn
witnesses, from James Buchanan down to
Gov. Wise, and thence down to Mr.. Hyatt
now in prison for contempt, whether such
witnesses have knowledge of crimes delib-
erately committed in high official positions,
or under the influence of misguided hu-
manity, right minded men have but little
sympathy. The whole truth should be
known about the Harper's Ferry raid, and
about the frauds in the Pennsylvania cleo
tions,-let that truth cut where it may.
Gov. Wise has said that he Knows damn
ing facts about the former, and Mr.. Buchan-
an has said that he knows facts in regard
to the latter, Not only has the President
intimated in his Pittsburgh letter that mon
ey was used to carry elections, but evidence
positive, over his own sign manual of 81. B."
proves that corrupt advances were made to
him.
One Investigating Committee, in hunting
out frauds in the Navy Yards, unearthed
the following correspondence, to wit:
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Is, 1858.
"DEAR SIR: Iventure to suggest to you
the Importance of awarding the contracts
for the machinery of the sloop now build
ing at the Navy Yard at this time, and it
it can be done without prejudice to the pub
lie service, to Merrick and Sons. Theirs is
the only establishment in the lst District
which employs large number of mechan-
ics at this time, 800; when in full work,
45O.
"Tho managing partners (Mr NJ, son.,
being absent in bad healthy are full of en-
ergy straining every nerve to keep their
force, during this depression and, in so far,
as 1 know, the only Old Wings of any in-
fuence in that District who are in favor of
the reelection of Col. Florence.
81 know, from former experience, the
value of that influence, and feel persuaded
that it is the interest of the Democratic
party to increase it,
"The lst District will, l hope, be car.
ried in any event; but with that shop al
work. full-handed, two weeks prior to the
election, the result would, think, be plac
ed beyond all doubt.
"With much respect,
"W. @. PATTERSON.
{ 'The PRESIDENT"
Did Mr. Buchanan spurn this proposition
By no means; he sent the letter to the Sec
retary of the Navy with his endorsement
as follows:
"Sept. l5, 1858.
"The enclosed letter from Col. Patterson
of Philadelphia, is submitted to the atton
ton of the Secretary of the Navy. ]. B."
Now the people want all these things t.
como to the light of day, and if Mr.. Blu
chanan and Mr.. Wise refuse to testify, serv
them as Hyatt has been served; send fo
them as well as for John Brown and Cor
pic, that all, from President down, may tes
q tifY the truth, the whole truth, and nothin
h but the truth.

CHAIN GANG.-The Commissioners Of
this county at their last session, in compli-
ance with State law, granting power to
the commissioners of each county to es!ab-
lish chain gang, for the punishment of
petty larceny" have agreed to establish hone
lof those institutions in our county, and
have granted to the Mayor and town couu-
ell the privilege to use the county Jail for
the confinement of their criminals.
We called at the foundry of June & Cur

-MeSsenger.
The County Commissioners, we believe,
made the same proposition to the late coun-
Gil of our town, and they did not accept it,
which we think was very proper. We do
not believe in establishing any such institu-
ton in this village, not that we have so
much respect for the feelings and pride ol
the offenders who might be adjudged to
wear the 'je,OeLs," but it will not pay. II
will cost more to hire man to guard them
than their whole work would be WORTH
There is scarcely ever over one or two per
sons in our Jail who could be put at sucE
business. And unless full team of doz
en- or so could be offered by the Commis
sioners, we think it would be too expensive
an experiment for the corporate fathers t.
go into.
