Nothing is more fuctuating than the production
of sugar, except its consumption. No trade feels
the approach of hard times quickly as the sugar
trade. 1t is the first thing the poor man deprlves
himself of when in distress. Sugar is the basis OF
thousands of Injuries which the rich cease TO con
sumo when they are embarrassed IN business. III
an early number of this journal we showed. from
the trade returns, that The people OF the United
States, during the troubles of 1857 were reducing
their consumption of sugar. The reports OF the
sugar trade indicates the same thing now sugar
is selling at n lower price than during the
hardest times of November and December iaSI'
The richest thing talked of lately is a commun-
cation from j. r. Snowden, the Director Of the
Mint of the United States Chat was) in Phiudel-
phia, addressed to the Secretary of the Treasury
at Washington, that the gold coined at the New
Orleans Branch Mint should not hereafter be re-
ceved as legal tender; that our Branch Mint has
been seized and so on.
Mr. Ross SnoWden has for years past had an
antipathv against the Branch Mint of New Orleans.
He recognizes secession and the independence of
the South by refusing to receive the coin issued
from this branch and for fear the public should not
read the uiase of Mr. Director Snowden, we have
to state that all gold coins with the letter on
them of 1861 will not be received as legal tender
in the Northern States.
This regulation or suggestion of Director Snow
den need not create any alarm with those of oul
citizens intending to travel North this season, OF
those who unfortunately are indebted to Northern
cities. Anything emanatng from New Orleans
whether it has an 0, an l or y, will be received
and double credit given on the strength of sucl
payments.
The weather is favorable for agricultural pur
noses, and taking ali things into consideration, w
are getting on remarkably well, irrespective 0
Awar alarms.
The mails have partially failed for the past tw
days, though the express brings papers from NeV

The French having sent Gen. Vial as their envO
to Malta to counteract him, or, in other words t
stop him up, Mr.. Canning proposed that Englan

ambassador without an arm, he next day dispatcl

The End Of Negotiation.

Much surprise was created about six
o'clock yesterday evening, by the an.
nouncement, upon the bulletin board of
the Mercury, that Lieut.. Talbot-now
Captain Talbot, of the United States
Army-had returned TO Charleston by
the evening train, anG was then at the
Charleston Hotel. 1t appears that he was
accompanied 10y Mr.. Il. S Chew, the con
hdential secretary, we believe, Of Secreta
ry Chase. Capt. Talbot came as bearer
of depatches to Major Anderson, and upon
making known his mission 20 General
Beauregard, was peremptorilv refused
permission TO communicate with Fut
Sumter.
Mr.. Chew, we understand, came as
special messenger TO lhe authorities here,
with All official notification from the Lin,
coin Government that Fort Sumter was
to be provisloned-peaccaJly, if practical
be, forcibIy, if necessary. |, is almost
needless to add that MIR. Chew received
no information of a very consoing nature.

As "a general rule, experience has
proved the advantages of deep blowing
III preparing ground for ,lanting both
corn and cotton. One reason Why aIlu.
vial bottoms yield better crops than har.
drr upands, is the perviousuess OF the
su0'soil which enables the long roots Of
cotton and corn to descend two or three
ieet into the earth in search of appropri.
ale aliment. The plants cultivated draw
lood from three or four times more earth
IN the one case than in the other
Now, unless the ground is actually poisr
onous n the crop, the deeper it is stirred
and thoroughly pulverised The better fox
1t promotes all those chemical changes in
the soil through the agency of air or are
alton, increased warmth and moisture,
which render any tiIIage desirable. Cain
was a tiIier Of the ground : but as pIows
were not invented, he probably stirred it
an inch deep with II stick, and would
have regarded a scooter or turning SHOW.
e' as very ex,ravagant cnntrivance for
breaking up the surface of the soil
French blowing and double spadng as
practiced by expert gardners aud those
planting vine yards, must appear to shal.
low operators in preparing land for cot,
ton as a prodigious waste OF labour. But
cotton aud corn grow as much better as
asparagus vines and beets when planted
Oh land cultivated from twenty to thirty
inches in depth.
Deep summer following, which has
been praclsed for ages in some parts of
Europe, over its benefits in good de.
gree to the chemical results that ensue
dining The several months that in.erveLe
between the pulveIizaiion Of hard clay
! and the seeding of the land. Elements
OF plant food are eliminated and rendered
available IN this way that cannot be had
in any other, If they could, then all til.
iage, except to kill weeds and grass,
might be dispensed with, Atoms must
be both separated that were before in
contact, aud brought together in juxta.
position with new atoms having different
chemical aiiinities. The pIow, hoe, bar.
row, and Gu tivator do this, and increased

1t is said now that the last mortar is
IN lis place aud that the ammunition and
supplies are all in our possession, so that
every means for the speedy reduction Of
Fort Sumter may be said to he entirely
accomplished. There is no pos Li'.ty Of
supplies or reinforc"ments being thrown
IN from the sea, for there is not the p,w.
er in the United States Navy to do il.
aud OF course the reduction Of Fort Sum.
ter Is only matter OF time.
There is one thing clear, that if the
Government resorts 10 force and a Sec
tiomal war, there must be very strong
and powerful. party at the North opposed
10 them. THIS party constitutes the com
mercia! cities and monied men and those
interested in the Industrial pursuits Of that
section. THIS division bring made at the
Moth, compels the Goveryncn,, in an Isl
sue OF force, to rely exclusively apon the
Black Republican party for The supply OF
men and money. Whereas, on lie con
trarg, the Confederate States vii. present
one united and un5roken front, with no
division, but all ready to defend their
homes and their alters. In such An issue,
there can be no doubt us to the fual re,
suit. In addition TO this, if there be An
appeal to force, it will at once throw the
Border States of the Southern country
against tbs Black Republican party aud
the Government. In such a slru tple AZ
this, the total overthrow of the Govern

By MRS. sIGOURNEY.

"Agricnl,ure is the most healthy, the
most useful. the most noble employment
of man."- George Washington.
What hero from the battle strife,
With palms Of victory crowned,
Fame's clarion music in his ear,
From enrth's remo,est bound
What ruler Ger "a nations love,
In majesty sublime,
The first. the greatest in the realm,
king in freedoms cline,
Returns To rural haunts to watch
His ripening wheat fields wave,
A blessed gladness in his heart
That glory never gave.
Who, mid his acres broad and green,
Where plough shares break the sod,
Prefers in sylvan tolls 10 walk,
with nature and with Godi
There was but one who thus retired
FROM conquest's power and PRIDE,
For which ambition hath 80 oft
In madness striven and died.
There WAS but one. Dost ask his name,
Meath fair Vrginias sky
Go End Mt. Vernon'- sepulchre
And heed it's answering sigh.
