WAsHMGroN's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

WAsHTNGToN's BIRTH-DAY.-Beyond q
very small sprinkling of national flags and
a parade by Capt. Ellis's Artillery Com
pany, there was an entire lack of any dis
play yesterday that showed that our pee
pie felt any particular interest in COM
memorating the day. Not even the nation
al flag was seen floating from the only pub
lie building in the city, which we may add
is under the charge of the chief military
dignitary in the first congressional district.
Whether this neglect resulted from a search
ty of bunting, or indifference, or desire
that the birth day of Washington should
cease to be remembered by our people, we
are not prepared to say. We do think,
however, that it would have been more to
our credit had we all manifested a
little more interest in the matter.
Capt Ellis, with his Company, fred q
national salute early in the morning, and
in the afternoon paraded the principal
streets headed by the Crescent City Band
On the common near the residence Of
IAObtIL DdAAGS AlC1 hlCu hnOthOA ooiUbO "
- guns. Thus passed the day, and we are
! confident our citizens-when they read the
glowing accounts of the way in which the
day was celebrated in other cities will fee
that they have neglected to earnestly show
their appreciation of the great blessings be-
slowed upon them through the exertions o
Washington and his compatriots.

IMPRovEMENTs.-The city fathers have
undertaken a couple of improvements on
Main street that have long been needed. -
One is the planking of that street from
where the paving was finished to Eighth
street. This is intended to remain only I'M
til the weather will permit the fnis--l . o.
the paving. The other is the construction
of two small culverts from the foot of the
cutters on each side of Main street down
some distance on the levee. This is done to
obviate the difficulty hitherto experienced
by drays with heavy loads crossing the
deep cutters.

nea-The free trade theory of the South
ern politicians is quite different from their
practice. Not only do they charge the usu-
al tariff of the general government upon
European importations, but they propose
assessing the same duties upon all goods
from Northern States as we'll as upon cot
ton that is exported. We fear it is with the
free-traders as with the demoniac, who after
once being relieved of II devil had him re-
tnrn accompanied by seven other devils /;
1" and this last condition of the man was
worse than the first"

PRAIsRwoRTHY ACTs.-We understand
that the Branches of the Bank of the State
of Indiana have responded to the call, for
aid in Kansas to save the people from star
walton and to supply seed for the coming
year, by donating 500 each. We also I'M
derstand that the citizens of Terre Haute
donated the sum of 500 to the same cause.
Will not those of our citizens who have
enough to spare go and do likewise

RGTWe understand that one of our mill

yesterday sent in his resignation to the

Rea-The South Carolinians are evidently
acting under the maxim get good ready,
Four thousand men have been encamue
around Fort Sumter for some time and yet
we learn by telegraph that nothing has
been done towards capturing the odious for
tress. Talk about sending out privateers,
when there is scarcely a harbor on the
Southern coast to which they could escape
with their prizes without passing under the
guns of such fortresses as Monroe, Sumter
Jefferson, and Pickens We apprehend il
privateering is attempted extensively there
will be more yard-arms adorned with trait
ors than were ever witnessed on the high
seas before.

LEvELLINd OFF THE Soil have observed
during the past season on most farms that | have
visited, that but very few farmers finish up a
field in farmer-like manner. They are not at all
particular to have the last blowing neatly perform
ed, with every sod well turned under, and the
dead burrows filled up and levelled off Many far
mers are III such hurry to get it off their hands,
to have it said it was done, that they often lose
more dollars in consequence than they are aware
of
Whether we intend to stock field to either
meadow or pasture, or not, 1t ought TO be well
leveled off If there are high ridges and deep
dead furrow and hummOcks and depresslons in
Vulnerable, no man eau pillow that field neatly the
next time it is to be plowed and if it is to be
moved, either by hand with a mower it will
not be practicable to perform it i'll q farmerlike
manner, unless it is smooth.
