Secession n Proof of the Justice Of thu
Republican System.
The New Orleans Picdyine remarks

The New Orleans Picdylne remarks:
1t is a hypochondriac delusion, which
seems to have seized upon the minds OF many
of our countrymen, to despond over these
results, (those of Secession) as proofs OF the
utter failure of American Institutions, and
the final condemnation of the tederative
principle. There is great deal to create
profound regret and serious uneaslness IN tne
rupture Of old associations, and the downfall
of Government to which we had been long
devoted and from which we had hoped for
so much.
But when its character was radically al
tered, and the Government itself was the
baue of the most cherished rights, and to re-
form or abolish it the best homage to those
institutions, the effective instrument for ac-
complishing it was sought in the independent
State governments. The dignity, power and
success of the movement is the highest vim
dication of the vigor and value of State
sovereignties for the protection of liberty.
A great revolution has been effected oy
the power of public opinion freely expressed
through the ballot-boxes, of seven organized
and orderly communities, and perfected
| through all the legitimate forms of estao
| lished authority. In what other country, II
| what other times, or under what other form
| or principle of government, could such
| movement have originated and been carried
! through, to the final solemn announcement
| of the common will of seven States, withou
| tumult disorder or blood?
How triumphantly does this fact suppor
| the theory of the wisest founders of our In
stitutions, that however necessary common
| government may be for the exigencies o
Commerce and war, the bulwark of our liber
ties and of the happiness and security o
every citizen, is to be looked for in watchfu
care of the States.

COMPARATIVE VALUE OF HAY AND RooTs.-
In writing upon this subject correspondent
of the Netv England Farmer remarks that
hay is the chief article of food for stock
during the Winter season; and, generally
speaking, if a sufficiency of good hay is
properly fed to stock, they will thrive upon
it, and increase in weight and value. But it
is not always, nor even usually the case,
that farmers have sufficiency of the best
quality Of hay to feed to their stock, with
no exceptions in the way of coarse fodder,
damaged hay, straw, &c, and in case the
latter is fed, OF when the usual yield of hay
has been reduced by reason of drouth, or
other causes root crops afford valuable
auxiliary, whether used in connection with
the former, or as a substitute for the latter.
Hence it often becomes necessary TO know
the comparative value Of potatoes, carrots
and ruta bsgas, that farmers may be able to
substitute, in part, these roots for hay.
1t is becoming more and more the practice
of our best farmers to feed out, not only
their carrots, turnips, &C., but their potatoes,
instead of selling them from the farm to be
worked into starch, in the belief that the
good of their farms demands it, and that
their purses in the end will not be the losers
thereby; and the more it is practiced, the
more convinced are they Of the economy
and profit of such a course of feeding. Not
such, but the relative value of the hay, as
well as that of the roots, is increased when
fed together. And it becomes an object, the
present season especially, for such farmers as
have been deprived of their usual amount o.
fodder by the droutb, to make the best o
such means to keep and improve their stocl
until the return of grass.
The following, gathered from reliable
sources, shows the value of potatoes, carrots
and ruta bagas, the roots usually grown fol
stock, compared with good hay;
Two hundred pounds of potatoes are equa
to 100 pounds of hay; $50 pounds Of carrot
are equal to 100 pounds of hay; 300 pound
of ruta bagas are equal TO 100 pounds of hay
Again by allowing sixty pounds to th,
bushel, of the above roots, we have the fol
lowing:
Sixty-seven bushels of potatoes are equa
TO a tun of hay; ninety-two bushels of car
rots are equal to tun of hay; 100 bushel
of Iuta bagas are equal to tun Of hay.
By this estimate, with the usual yield pc
acre, it win be seen that root culture pays
fact of which many a farmer and stocl
grower has been convinced, by practici
demonstration.

Woman,s Position and Capacity in Art.

Woman's Position and Capacity In Art.
The New York Crdyon for February OBJ |
serves:
There is no object used by US that is not
within the domain of art, because there is
none for which art, aided by taste, has not
put in operation some Of the inert forces OF
nature. Musical taste nowhere comes in
contact with daily wants; plastic taste
touches every thing. Musical art is lux
ury; plastic art is a prime necessity.
The female artist although she may not
cover grand canvases, may still pursue
painting proftably. What hand so delicate
as that which decorates the exquisite porce-
lains that we love to see around us2 Who
can produce upon the ivory, with a like
sentiment of maternal tenderness, the feat
ures of q cherished infant2 And to descend
to the precincts of trade, where shall we
find, except among women, the patience and
carefulness required in the coloring of bo-
tanical plates and every description of illus
trative art2 The publishers already employ
hundreds of women to illuminate books. 1t
is to feminine hands, incapable of erecting
massive stone monuments, that is assigned
the labor Of building the paste board struct-
ures that supply the holiday joys Of children.
Not only in the merely industrial branches
of art are women useful, but equally so are
they in other departments. Is it not ri
diculous sight-a broad-shouldered man,
with voluminoHs whiskers, tracing designs
for laces and embroidery At Lyons the
manufacture of diverse stuffs absorbs the
hands of thousands of men and women-but
the men not only enjoy the privilege of in
venting combinations of forms and colors
destined to inveigle the eyes of fashionable
caprice Is there not contradiction in
this? Should not feminine taste, developed
by artistic education, embroider itself upon
the shawls, the carpets, the ribbons and
other brilliant fantasies in the world of dry
goods2
The carpets of Smyrna and Of Caramania
80 widely esteemed, are evidence Of what
womans genius can produce. They are al
woven by feminine hands. When a child Ii
old enough to manage knitting needle
woods of all kinds and colors are placed il
her hands, and cord is stretched between
two trees, and they then say to the young
work. woman, ut is with thyself to maxi
the dowryI" A rude model, the tradition
of the village, the example of her mates an(
the advice of her mother, are her onl.
guides; she has no master but fancy, and
is the caprice of her taste that she assort
the coloTs and combines the lines. Tn
work drags slowly along. Every year add
a mite to its length, until finally comes tn
time when she is obliged to think of mar
riage. The hand of the workman is stayed
the carpet is sold, and the product become
the doWTy of a youthful wife.
