The HRTGHT OF FoLLY-

An exchs iiie says:--''It is the height Of fol-
ly Eor pare to live hard and de hard. to
give their children a start iD,the world;" but
apparent as this folly pAst be to every real
thinker, it is just the oily into which thou
sands of parents ,5f1unge themselves; and no
parents are pore guilty of it than those who
begin lifs with nothing, and find way to
start sfithout help from any of their ancestors.
ID6ead of reasoning from their own expert
,ence, and saying: @The blessings which have
attended my own industry and prudence will
smile upon the effort of my children, they
pinch themselves to lay up store for those
who, in three cases out of four, had better be
without it. Observation has shown that, in
most cases where parents have started with
nothing. and become very wealthy, aud have
not brought up their children to labor as they
hnd done to accumulate their wealth, those ehi!-
dren have reversed the order of things. and
wasted their property, when they got hold gf
it, faster than their parents had gathered it,
and their habits have been such that they
have lived wretehed and dsed miserable.

ssnntor sumner on tha rrnnt Afrnir

]
In the U. S. Senate, on the 9th inst, Mr.
Sumner, of Mass, delivered an able speech on
! the Stideii md Mason affair: He defended the
position of the Administration; and the prin,
cipal points of his speech are thus stated by
the tclegraphic report of the proceedings of
that day:
Mr.. SUMNE OF Muss. proceeded 10 address
the Senate. He took the ground that Capt.
Wilkes was not legally justified in searching
the Trent and taking from her the rebel en-
bassadors, though in making the seizure the
gallant Captain was actuated by the purcst
motives, and acted in strict accordance with
British preceden,s, and with international
law as expounded by the highest British au-
Ihorities.
lie contended that the uniform policy Of the
United States, as well as the States OF Conti-
mental Europe, has been opposed TO the pre-
tentions of the British Government, and has
maintained liberal Interpretation Of the rights
of neutrals; and that in many solemn treaties,
in many most important and authoritative
State papers, from the foundation Of The Re
public to the present time, the American Gov
ernment has committed itself fully and unre-
scrvedly to the right Of neutral flag to cover
civil passengers. The question, he continued,
has been argued with the greatest ability and
thoroughness by the most eminent of our
statesmen, including Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe, and other Presidents, and the whole record
of our diplomacy is luminous with arguments
against such acts as that Of Capt Wilkes. Mr..
Sumner proceeded to show that We had pro-
tested again and again that naval captain
had no right to constitute himself judge on a
deck Of neutral ship, and take from her, at
sole pleasure and discretion, what he might
think was contrubaDd.
lie was bound, if he suspected her Of carry
ing eontraband, to carry her into port and have
the question decided by competent Courts; but
no Court in this country, recognizing our ma
tional and long established position OH the law
of nations, could have lawfully condemned the
Trent or held the captive ambassadors. In TAX
ing them from under the British fag, Mr.. Sum-
ner held that Capt. Wilkes, misIed by British
legal authorities and by British law books, had
violated the American principle Of the right
of search, while the Br lish -GoyCrI ment, Oh
the other hand, has, by demanding the surrcn-
der of Mason and SlideTl, stultificd its own his
tory, rcnouncing its own principles, and virtu-
ally acknowledged the justice Of the position
SO long maintained by the United States.
This was political and diplomatic triumph
Of the highest value, for which we arc deeply
indebted to the daring and patriotic act o.
Capt. Wilkes and the enlightened statesman
ship Of Mr. Seward.

SORGHUM Convention in Illinois.

We find in the Prairie Farmer a
brief account of the Illinois Sorghum
Convention, which met at Rockford,
Nov. 30th:
Mr.. Patterson, OF Rockford, show
cd two samples which yielded 160
gals. per acre; made i'll all no gals.
Mr.. Hart, Of Owen, made 900 gal
Ions for himself and others; three
fourths of an acre gave him 100 gal
Ions. Seven gallons of juice made
one of syrup. Mr.. Marsh, of New
Milford, stated that an aclc grown by
Mr.. Duckbcc, yielded 100 gallons OF
syrup; used seven to eight gallons of
juice to make one of syrup; used sal
eratus to aid cleansing, half a pound
to sixty gallons. Mr.. Pardce, Of New
Milford: cane grown on old land. ten
gallons Of juice to one of syrup; made
$50 gallons; believes that lime may
be used to advantage for cleansing;
the juice not as sweet this year as last.
Charles Foster, of Rockford, prefers
tho Imphcc 10 the Chinese; made 30
barrels of syrup; found it required
seven to ten gallons of juice TO make
one of syrup. Chas. Fletcher, OF
Rockford, has made 1916 gallons,
ranging from seven to twelve gallons
of juice to one Of syrup, and no clar-
flying agent but skinned we'll; from
half an acre of cane manuIactu-
red for Mr.. Webb, made 153 gallons;
the land grown on, sandy, highly ma
nured. and planted in drills. H. p.
Kimball, of Rockford, raised an acre
of Imphee, it did we'll; thinks there
is more of the crystalizlng properties
in it than in the Chinese. Louis Jack
son showed samples from cane grown
in sheltered position in q harn-yard,
yielding from one-fourth Of an acre
67 gallons; made about 200 gallons:
thinks the most protected and warm.

All may End something to be done
in our long winters; and it is essential
to health to keep the blood in motion
each day in the year. Farmers may
always find employ enough tho
the plOw must lie at rest for q while
The care OF farm stock in the win
ter is the farmers first concern. Keep
stock in good order. Remember that
want of comfort is waste of flesh.
whether that be from cold, hunger or
thirst. An animal may fret off in one
hour all it has gained in one week.
Let them have water at all times, salt
at all times, and regular food at all
times. Give pigs warm place and
a clean dry bed. \ pig does not love
dirt for dirL's sake, and will thrive
much better if kept clean. A dirty
hide will waste a cows flesh much
faster than food will add to it. Mix
hay and straw, we'll chopped by a
straw-cutter, with meal and roots; il
is excellent feed for cattle. Feed
sheep and cattle separately and from
good feeding racks, and thus prevent
the scattering and wasting Of hay.
Sec that the COWS are milkcd clean,
more SO than most boys and hired mon
can be coaxed or compelled to do it.
Pass round among them second time
and strip them, as one drop of milk
at the end is worth many at the be-
ginning, and many fine COWS are ru-
incd 10y careless milking. Throw a
way your money if you wish, but milk
your cows clean.
Look to your wheat fields now, i'm
open spells of weather, to sec that the
drain burrows are open, and no water
allowed to stand. If TIE ground
should become sufficiently drv, 60 over
the wheat with a roller, and thereby
replace the roots that have been hca-
we'd up by the frost.
Repair tools, oil and repair harness,
study and supply n-door and outdoor
conYcnicnccs; make gates, clothcs-linc
reels, ladders, &c. When s'cighing
is good keep your teams drawing
wood, manure. and, if practicable,
peat or swamp muck, to spread over
your barnyard to mix with manure.
Be certain to keep your diseased
animals, no matter of what kind, if
you have any, away from the rest of
your stock. Diseases are frequently
contagious, unn the sickIy or weak
can bc better cared for when separate
from the rest of the stock. Cultivate
your mind. Read, think, digest, ap-
ply with caution, and avoid foolish
cicdulity Get thus The experience

Illinois Cotton Culture.

The culture of Cotton is to be taken hold of in
earnest in Southern Illinois, and it is stated
that at least five thousand acres will be plant
cd next spring An agent appointed by the
Illinois Central Railroad Company to travel
and investigate the subject reports that there
are in Illinois from Gig to ten million oracreS
Of land which are adapted to The coitou cul-
ture. These lauds will also produce flax, castor
beans, sorghum, and other semi-tropcal pro-
ducts
The Chicago Tribune has published an ar
ray Of facts proving that cotton can be raised
in Southern Illinois with as much facility and
as proftahly as in the cotton regions Of the
Southern tates. The names and addresses
are giveE Ofa large number of persons who
nave been raising it in that rcigon, for many
years, and who under their careless mode
of cultivating have succeeded in obtaining from
300 to 500 pounds peracre. AT ten cents Pcr
pound, this gives from $50 TO $50 TO the acre,
and reckoning eight acres TO the field hand,
which is the calculation made fthe slave pro-
duction in an official report to Congress in 49,

1t is poor economy to feed
pastures very close. They will yield
much more if the grass has fair start
than if fed down so low that it can
scarsely grow. Cattle which pick a
pasture down to the bone nearly al
ways run largely to the bone. John
Johnston suppoSes a case. founded
on repeated observation, in illustra-
ton of this truth. He says: "a has a
field which he thinks will keep twenty
cattle, and he puts them into it. b bas
field of the same size and quality,
but he puts only ten cattle into it
Now it will almost always be found
that in autumn the ten have gained as
many. often more pounds weight, than
the twenty. The ten with iirst-ratc
pasture would gain four hundred
pounds each, and it is doubtful il the
twenty would have gained two hum
drcd pounds each. Tic ten would
make extra beef, and bring an extra
price, while the twenty would make
only third-ratc beef, bringing little
more per pound than they were worth
when they were turned to pasture
The ten paid $25 each for their pas
turc, or prchaps more. This | have

LET DIFFICULTIES NERVE YOU.

''Tb,s@Ssifftrcnces of character are never more

There are some, who, when disappointed by

Mobile papers announce that the greater por.

cd on the 18th ult., the loss estimated at ovci

in Norfolk destroyed the Custom house, Posi-
Office, &c, and powdermill in New Orlcan;
has been blown up.
