OF peace and quiet would continue to flow for any
l,n.th of time thr,u IN the States which have
recently stole themselves away from the General

our day dreams would have been illusory. Al

The sooner flax seed is sown after
the ground ism proper condition the
better, as frost will not damage it, and
being sown early, it grows in advance
OF weeds, and is matured before extreme
warm weather, which, if dry, is ua-
favorable for filling. The work may
all be done before the time of blowing
for corn. Good crops are, however OBJ
tanned from seed sown as late as the
10th OF May, hut not so CERTAIN as il
sown sooner. To insure good crop, the
soil must lie we'll prepared; the ground
should lie plowed deep, and turned over
smoothly. then we'll borrowed, and
rolled till level and free from clods.
If the seed is thrown into rough
ground among clods, it comes up irreg-
ularly, and ripens unevenly, and if the
straw is short, all the seed can no. lie
saved. A very light covering is best.
and i sown Immediately before show.
er, nothing more is needed, the rain
will beat it in suificinetly. To cover
the seed some think a light harrow best,
others prefer brush, but a light roller
is preferable. as it leaves the seed more
evenly scattered over the ground. 1t
is clearly proven that when the ground
is we'll prepared, and the soil good, a
half bushel to the acre, or even less is
sufficient, if evenly spread over the
field. Ii the soil is not we'll prepared,
or if the ground is likely to grow weeds,
more may be used, but never more than
SIS or ga Of bushel. The flax
should be cut as soon as the bolls are
brown and while the stem is green, i.
left longer, il cuts hard, and many OF
the bolls fall off and are lost. 1t may
be put into the barnin two days after it is
cut, and should be kept dry, as exposure
to wet always damages the seed. II
it can not be put under cover, it should
be carefully stacked or ricked. Well
cleand seed will always command a
higher price from the manufactures,
than seed that is filthy, and full of dirt.
Nothing so we'll prepares ground for
seeding as flax crop.

Mr. Curry, the judiciary Committee was instruc
TED TO inquire into the eNpedicncy of prohibiting
the importation of slaves into the Confcdcracy
except when owned by persons cmigrating for
settlement or residence.
The Congress went into secret session.
This motion of the Southern Congress is toe
transparent to need any white washing TO max,

would exclude the slave trade carried on b,
Virginia and Maryland, and the rusc IS gotten ny
for the sole purpose of stimulating them to join

opening Of the slave trade In the event they ar,
no, joined by the border slave States.
