ARIsTOcRACY AT nm sourH.

gested more than once that their feelings were

If this were thrown out as hattering sop to
hurry ON their recognition by the foreign
powers. it will hardly have that effect. Least
of all would the English have much respect

would not hold them as equal in prestige even

down anywhere near the grave Of William

like Carolina potatoes in a single season. and
very likely is afflicted with the rot, would be
decidedly no-go with such handsome fellows
as pevonshre, and Sutherland, aud Clsreu-
don, and Arundel, and Derby, and Bucclcuch,
and Argyle. Aye, my Lord of Sumter, and
the Earl Of Dismal Swamp, and Jones of Shoe

Right Honorable Quattlebum, would not be

LOYALTY.


From the occasional glimpses we get Of
Southern sentiment through the press Of the
South, VIC perceive the remarkable fact that
there is no loyal feeling there toward the
Government, and no apparent capacity to re-
cognze loyalty at the North. Even profess
ed Union men of the South contend for the
Union-not on account of any allegiance due
to the general government-not because of
any moral obligation to support the Consttu-
tion--not for any consideration Of the solem-
nifty of an oath 10 sustain it--but from pure
ly local and selfish considerations They
even admit the right Of secession while they
contend against its exercise They have no
vonetation for the institutions and principles
of the Government, and If they ever had any
it is all lost They cannot appreciate such
vcneraHon in others. They do not see why
we may not look on IN indifference while the
national flag is insulted and asseulted-why
we may not tolerate and compromise with
those revouiionsts and traitors who attack
an that loyal minds hold most sacred. So
perverted have become the opinions Of South
orn men, that they look upon this universal
rallyins Of the North to the defense of the
Government. ms a conversion 20 abohtionism
They suppose that all our poople-those who
have been most friendly TO them as well as
those who have been most violently opposed

SEED COEN---lIOW TO PRODUCE EAR
III TERMINATION.

DIR Chamberlain Of Buren, County. Illinois,
has made some imp'raut di-c1vere, To- this
direction The RcpabNean says:
" Last year DR.. Chamberlain Of this pl ce
made some practical experiment.. and de-
monsirated that nearly half thc time may be
saved in terminating tho seed ty the use Of
chloride Of lime,
90 Not satisfied with the success Of last year,
he Is again experimenting In his office he
has four boxes in the first is corn planted
without soaking, and the seed not germina-
ted in the second, the seed was soaked in
warm water, which has Just commenced to
terminate; in the third is seed soaked in a
solution Of lime, and green blades are Just
peeping from the ground in the fourth is
seed soaked in a solution Of chloride of lime
and copperas, in equal parts, and the blades
are now nearly three inches above the ground
All the seeds were planted at the same time,
in the same quality Of soil and taken from
the same ear. The boxes have all had an
equal share Of heat and light, neither allow
ed any advantage over the other.
" his experiment should attract the atten-
ton Of farmers. We conclude from four to
six weeks may be saved by the use OF chlo-
ride of lime and copperas, which is a matter
Of no ordinary moment when VIC reflect that
a delay in the termination Of the seed Of two
weeks frequently places the crop within the
reach of the frost in the fall Another fact
of some importance may slse be mentioned
The copperus used in soaking will prevent the
birds squirrels, worms &c, from eating the
seed.
DR.. Chamberlain assures us that one
pound OF copperas in water will soak enough
seed for twenty acres. The cost will not be
over twenty-five cents Every farmer could
afford to make the experiment, even If he
should not derive any heneft from H."
