A Greed for Farmers.

Henry Ward Beecher takes pro-
found interest in agricultural matters,
ard indeed he could not very we'll help
with such a large and many sided ma
ture as his is. The following is the
"creed' he sets up on the subject of
farming; though it have not the "Thir-
ty-nine Articles in it, it is neverthe-
less compact and sound enough to suit
all ATTITUDES and emergencies
"We believe in small farms and thor
ough cultivation.
We believe the soil loves to eat as
vel. IS its owner, and ought therefore
to be MANFRED.
We believe in large crops, which
leave the land better than they found
it-making both the farmer and farm
rich at once.
We believe in going to the bottom
Of things, therefore in deep blowing,
and enough of it. All the better if with
subsoil plow.
We believe that every farm should
own good farmer.
We believe that the best fertilizer Of
any soil, is a spirit Of industry, enter
prise and intelligence-without this,
lime and gypsum, bones and green ma
nure, mari and guano, Will be Of little
use.
We believe in good fences, good
barns, good farm-houscs, good stock,
good orchards, and children enough to
gather fruit.
We believe in clean kitchen and a
neat wife in it, a spinning piano, clean
cupboard, clean dairy, and a clean
conscience.
We firmly disbelicve in farmers that
will not improve; in farms that grow
poorer every year; in starving cattle :;
in farmers boys turning into clerks and
merchants; in farmers girls unwilling
to work; and i'll all farmers who are
ashamed of their avocation, or who
drink whisky until all honest men are
ashamed Of them.'

To SToP BLEEDING.-Asa Kemper

The Convention.

Mr.. VISOR, of Pulaski, yesterday submit
ted a proposition in the form of an ordinance,
for dissolving all political relations between
Virginia and the other States. Referred to the
Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. EARLY,
OF Franklin, made personal explanation,
and produced copies of letters which had
passed between himself and Mr.. Goopg, of
Bedford, resulting in an amicable settlement
of their little misunderstanding. Mr.. BRENT,
Of Alexandria, made a speech on the Union
side Of the question. He opposed the policy
of secession, but admitted the right; his view
being that Virginia would be much better
taken care Of under the Federal Government
than In the Southern Confederacy. He did
not fully endorse LIsooLSs Inaugural, for he
opposed coercion ; but did not look upon it as
a warlike document. He goes for Border
State Conference. Mr.. AMBER commenced a
speech on the Southern side, and will con-
clude to day.
