American Agriculturalist.

We have received and examined the March
number Of that excellent paper. the Anlert-
can Agriculturalist. There are great many
Agricultural papers published in our Eastern
and Western cities, some of wbioh are good
and others entirely worthless, but we have
yet to see oLe which so fully meets the wants
of the hard-working farmer, as the american
Agricaltuist. 1t contains a large number CT
articles teeming with useful information up
on the subjects of field culture, gardening,
stock raising, fruit growing, household man.
agement, descriptions with illustrations, Of
farming implements, and various other
things interesting and useful. Nothing,
however, gains admittance into its columns
unless it communicates something, know
ledge of which, will be beneficial to the far
mer. 1t never recommends or "puffs" any
farming implements or manures, the good~
ness of which. is not known to the Editor
1t takes particular pains to expose all swim
Rev. DR.. Wilson's gratuitous cure fot Con-
sumption, Lotteries which are never heard of
after money is sent to them. Another most
excellent feature of the AyicuHuralist, is the
free distribution of rare and valuable seeds
fer field and garden. Every subscriber will
get, if he wishes them, five packages of seeds
free of cost which, in some instances, are
more valuable than the subscription price,
which is Que Dollar.
But it is impossible, in SO brief notice, to
SPEAK of all the merits of tie Agriculturalist.
The only way to know them is to subscribe
for and read it. The Editor, Mr.. Orange
Judd, is a practical farmer himself, and the
| Agriculturalist, which was established by him
| ia 1912. when most farmers thought that
"book farming" was worse than folly, has
kert pace with the advancement of Agrienl-
tural science. 1t is edited with ability and
energy, such as is seldom found in journals
of its class. The determination of Mr.. Judd
to aid and enlighten the farming community
as to the bes. and cheapest modes OF produ-
cling the desired results of soil culture, is
certainly praissworthy and be should be pa
tronized literally by the farmers. just such
Journal as the Agriculturalist should be In
the hands Of every farmer in fruitful Old
Centre, and 10 them we recc ommend it as
the best Agricultural Journal ever seen By
US. We have never yet heard it spoken OF
except in terms Of the highest ccmmsnda.

E9- The passage Of the Tariff Bill will be
hailed with joy. 1t is net all that it's friends
desired, but is for specific duties, increasing
the rates on iron, and is decided movement
in the right direction, much preferable to
waiting antil Congress. which may not be as
friendly as the present. The Senate put a
small duty on tea and coffee, which the House
struck out. The New York city influence
was SO strong that the Senate insisted upon
retaining the warehousipg feature, which det-
rim entail to our true interests. From first to
last the passage of this improved Tariff has
been resisted by the Slaveocracy en- n,asse,
and by almost the entire Democracy The

The Peace Conference.
WAsnINaroN. Feb. 9

WASHINGTON. Feb. II.
The Peace Conference has just passed
FrankIin's proposition, as follows:
"In all the present Territory of the United
States north of the parallel of SO degrees 80
minutes of north latitude. involuntary servi-
tude, except as punishment of crime, is pro-
hibited. In all the present territory south of
that line the status of persons held to service
or labor, as it now exists, shall not be chang
ed. Nor shall any Law be passed by Cong
ress or the territorial legislature to hinder or
prevent the taking of such persons from any
of the States of this Union to said territory,
nor to impair the rights arising from said re-
lation. But the same shall be sugectto judi
cial coqnizance in the Federal Courts. accors
ding to the course Of the common laso When
any territory north or south of said lire, with
such boundary as Congress may prescribe,
shall contain a population equal to that re-
quired for member Of Congress, it shall, if
its form of government be republican, be ad-
mitted into the Union on an equal footing
with the original States. with or without
involuntary servitude, as the Constitution of
such State may provide"
The vote on the adoption of this plan of
adjustment was ten yeas to eight nays. The
New York Commissioners did not vote.
The other propositions reported by the
committee were all passed, by votes ranging
from eighteen to ten in favor of each. The
close fight took place over the franklin SUBJ
stituts for Guthrie's plan, and it was not car
ried without hard struggle.
There is great excitement oyer the result,
and the work of the Conference is regarded
as virtually ended.

An Eve Opener.


Lord Palmerston gave the South the hard
est bit ia the Parliament of England the
other day, that we have yet seen. A Peer
made speech deploring the Secession
movement in America, and regretting the eff
feet it would have upon the cotton trade with
England. The crafty and far seeing Lord
Palmerston, Englands' best Statesmap, re-
piled to him, and among other things said,
"IIe hailed the Secession Of the States in
America as the dawn Of new era in the cot
ton trade. England would now turn her at
.enton to India and raise her own GOTTEN"
This language is prophetic. The plan is fea-
sibe. England can raise Eer own cotton,
and she will do it. She bas heretofore been
the principle pa ron Of the South, and now,
if she withdraws her patronage, where is the
South to find o market for her cotton ? We
fear that when it is too late to recede, our in :
fatuated brothers will discover the fatal mis-.
take they have made. Secession will ruin
them. God forgive them for they krow not
what they dc.
