IMpoRrANT FROM RICHMOND. The
question Of the Northwest engages a
large share Of attention in high quar-.
ters at tthe seat Of Government. It is be.
Iiayed that overtures have been made by
leading MEN of both parties of the States
names, accompanied by assurances thatsif
they could be received into the Southern
league their troops would be recalled and
the war stopped in twenty-four hours. The
proposition, it is further said, has many
friends among public men in Richmond,
and is the subject Of debate IN secret ses.
sion of Congress. The army Of Gen. Lee
is said to be decidedly in favor of the mea-
sure, as the price of peace and Of vengeance
on the Yankees.
These statements come to Mobile Regis
ter from Almost reliable source, and we give
them, asthsr value, for the information Of
our readers. :

Cure for Poll Evil.

The Germantown Telegraph says /:
Some persons regard the poll evil as in
durable. It is sometimes called fstula.
No matter how long the sore has been
running, it can be cured in brief time,
and at cost not exceeding ten cents.
One dime spent in muriatic acid will be
sufficient to effect radical and perma-
nent cure Of the most stubborn fistula.
The sore should first be thoroughly
cleansed by some abstergent fluid, and
pure water is perhaps as valuable as
anything that can be used, and drop
eight or ten drops Of the acid in twice q
day till it has the appearance Of a fresh
wound then wash clean with soap suds
made of CASTLE soap, and leave it to
heal, which it will speedily do if the
acid has been used long enough
Should it, however, heal slowly, apply
the acid second time, and in the man
ner above described, taking care to wash
out the pipe thoroughly, and it will be
found an infallible remedy in the most
inyeterate diseases Of this sort but it
must be remembered that in order to do
so, the acid must be applied till the
corrupt or diseased flesh is all eat out.

New Mode of Raising Potatoes.

The farmers in Southern Illinois have
adopted, within the past few years, the
following mode Of raising potatoes:
The ground is thoroughly narrowed
and marked out one way; the potatoes
placed in the burrows and covered light
~ with earth, after which they are
covered with straw from foot to eight
cen inches in depth. Cultivation is not
required, and In the fall, at the usual
time for digging, the straw is removed
and the potatoes taken out dry and
clean. During short sojourn in nli-
nois this spring, We took occasion to
visit several extensive farms, and were
informed by the farmers that the above
system Of planting had been adopted by
all the farmers in the Egyptian part Of
the State, and that the potatoe crop has
never failed in wet or dry weather since
its adoption. In another year, let our
farmers try it; it is saving, sim
pie and profitable.

The SunfoWer.

The value Of this plant, which is
easily cultivated, and ornamental to the
garden, is scarcely known. The seed
forms most excellent and convenient
food for poultry, and it is only necessa-
ry to cut off the heads of the plants
when ripe, tie them in punches, and
hang them in dry situation to be used
as wanted. They also not only rapidly
fatten all kinds Of poultry, but greatly
increase the quantity of eggs they lay.
When cultivated to considerable ex-
tent they are also capital food for sheep
and pigs, and for pheasants. The
leaves when dried form a fodder for
cattle; the dry stalks burn well, and
form an abundance of alkai, and when
in full bloom the flower is most attract.
i've to bees.

Aqritnltural Column,
The Skunk.

The skunk will now and then eat a
chicken-but very rarely. What does
it live on then? Beetles, crickets,
grasshoppers, mice, &c. Recently much
has been said about this animal; and,
Ne are glad to see, mostly in its favor.
The skunk is benefit to the farmer !;
and not single one should be killed,
unless it gets to chicken thieving, which
of course, is not very pleasant. find
then the chickens should be taken care
Of rather than the skunk. If you do
not hurt it, it will not hurt you; and it
will weed your ground Of insects, and
charge you nothing for it. One Of our
exchanges calls it "the farmers friend. %

BUTTER WAsHlNG.-A correspondent
of the Boston Cultir0tor says he has
not had rancid butter in the spring for
thirty years. He washes it, not with
water, which he, with most good butter
makers, regards as injurious, but with
sweet skim-milk, sailing it afterwards.
Have any of, our readers tried this way,
and with what results :? There are some
good butter makers that wash their but
ter with water, and make better arti.
Gle than some bad manufacturers who
DO not wash it. But equal skill, clean
lness, and careful management would
doubtless enable those good manufactur-
ers to make better butter without wash
ing.
