National Integrity. Up to the present day, not
single fact has indicated that the proclama'
ton of Gen. Sherman has produced any effect
upon tho minds Of the c0nspiratOrs WHO have

abundant evidence demonstrates that the fidel

Ges every seduction d1d every tLfeat of their

such belief ia not possible. The average earn.

An Old Wing suggests the name of ROBERT

as il is thought he WILSON yacate that
Office. Mr. Walker is q Unionist without COM

yted aud consent 10 serve IN subordinate

and valuable officer. Our correspondent makes
blmder, however, in referring to Mr.. Wal

was printed aud circulated by the British

sTATE LUNArsC ASYLUM.

We have n very able and lucid letter from
an e1.pa,ient in our State Asylum for Lunatic'
Mt Utica setting forth that persons are con.
fined there ~ patients who We're never infaue,
with many more who may have once been de
ordered in mind but Lave long since recoy.
cred their sanity, yet are detained and treated
az lunatics for months after their entire
recovery.
we do not print this letter, because we can
not make room for it; aud because we see no
necessity for the writer's inference tina. recoy-
cred patients are retained in captivity with
ID il not necessary to indOrse any such impu.
tation on the integrity and good faith OF the
Superintendent in order to Justify the recon-.
mendation Of our correspondent. What lie
suggests is in effect the appointment BY the
State Of n guardian for the patients in the
Asylum, who shall be man Of high character
and every way independent of the prison
officers, who shall stately and frequently cx-
anime seyerally those confined as lunatics, but
especially all who claim 10 be sane, and whose
decision that any one is actually sane shall open
bis prisou-doors and restore him to his family
and business. We hold this TO be a wise aud good
suggestion, and trust that it viii be embodied
in an act of the Legislature. II surely ought
not TO be any one mans rrerogatigc 10 con
tnue in duress persons who claim and belieyc
Themselves to be- sane, aud whom it is even
possible that he may be bribcd to keep &C.
cluled. Let thcrs be such Guardian OF the
Insane for ecery LUhatic Asylum, and let 1t be
rendered certain that no sane persons are kept
coniuei therein against their VIII.

cultivation Of Cotton and sorghum.

The cultivation of cotton in the
middle portions of the free States is
beginning to attract general attention
D. A. Holloway, Esq, the Commits
siOner of patents, has issued circu-
lar on the subject, in which he says:
The attempt to gIOw Sea Island
cotton such as is now brought from
Hilton Head, would prove failure
in any portion of the free States The
only variety capable Of successful cul-
tivatiOn in those sections now seeking
its introduction is the green seed"
cotton such as is now being raised
extensively in Arkansas Missouri,
Tennessee, and portions of Kentucky.
and which produces the white fibre. 3"
Seed should bc obtained from these
localities. The notifications Of
soil and climate will influence the size
of the plant, the length and lncncSs
of the fibre, and the product of the
crop. No reasonable doubt is enter
tanned of the success Of the culture in
oil mild portions of the middle States,
and efforts are now making by this
Division to procure the proper seed
for distribution.
The results OF the cultivation of
sorgho the past year settles the qucs-
ton of its entire practical success. -
The value of its production is now
counted by millions, and its cultiva-
ton is becoming a subject of absorb
ing interest. One of the difficulties
presenting itself is the want Of pure
seed. To meet this want this Divis
ion has ordered seed from France fol
distribution the ensuing spring. II
must be borne in mind, however. thai
the same causes which has produced
deterioration here exists there: and
well grounded sapprehenSions are en-
tertained that the seed thus imporlca
