The Secretary of the Board of -4gricul'
ture collected during recent visit to En-,
rope, some interesting particulars in regard
to the wages of farm Isborers and others il
England, ireland, and on the Continent
Thirty-seVen cents per day he reports as the
highest sum paid, the laborer boarding him
self. In most parts of Ireland the farm la
borer gets but twenty-five cents per day,
and boards and lodges himself-and al
that rate be cannot get worka the time.
The "day's work." moreover is from day
light till dark, no ten hour system, or act
protecting the Workmen on the land.
In nlGhent, Belgium, the average price is
about franc and half, or about thirty
cents day; the Workmen finding them
selves. In the neighbOrhood Of Bohn, on
the Rhine, it is ten silver groschen, or
about twenty. Eve cents per day. In Wies-
baden it is from forty-tWo to forty eight
kreutssrs per day for Workmen on farms
or on roads, or thirty to thirty Eve cents!
At the farm of the Agricultural Institute
at Goisberg, near Weisbaden, the price
paid is thirty six kreutzers per day, or
twenty four cents, the men boarding them Z
selves. In and about Heidelberg, 10 the
NEanu DuCny Vi DhueuilL NhEleo lEoLu 1oEty :
two 10 forty eight kreutzers. In and around
CaSsel, the daily wages amount to fifteen
silver groschen, or thirty seven cents. At
the Agricultural College at Weihenstepan, !,
the pay for female laborers in the field is
twenty four kreutEers, or Ebout eighteen
cents per day, finding themselves. This is
in harvest time, when the price is higher
than at other seasons.
These prices everywhere seemed small
for hard, earnest labor, and could not
help thinking how glad our own farmers
would be TO give double, and board their
Workmen at that. Now it is true that the
price of living is not generally quite SO
high in the countries we have named as
with US, yet the difference is nowhere 80
great, as the price paid for labor. In fact,
to live as we'll as our people of the same
class do, the cost would be very nearly the
same. The price of potatoes, for instance,
in the neighborhoOd of Dublin, is seven
pence a stone of fourteen pounds. This 10
a cent a pound, or $40 ton. The price
of good butter throughout Ireland is, on an
average, q shilling pound, so that a man
has to work hard twelve or fourteen hours
to earn pound butter. This is the price
in town andlcohntty. The model farms at
Glasneyin got eighteen pence, or thirty six
cents Rpound in January of this year, 1854,
and the lowest price at any time is shil-
ling or thirteen pence, that is twenty. -four
and twenty six cents. made similar in
quiries as to the price Of common articles,
as means of comparison everywhere
went, and / know about how the case stands
foFiI made 8 practice to record such items
on the spot. The price of -four is about as
high on the continent rs with tis, and ]
think the same quality of meats about as

is sin, and that We should. not hold COM
munion with slayeholders, there is danger
that, failing to subjugate the south, and free
the slaves, they wonid consent to separa-
ton before the democracy obtain power.
The democracy would recognize the soVer-
eighty of states within their proper sphere,
under the constitution Of the United States,
but they would insist upon the recognition
f,and obedience to, the federal government
in all matters pertaining righttully TO its
Jurisdiction. But win the rebellious states
agree to terms of peace on the basis Of the
Union.y Regent events indicate that they
will. It is certain that if we make no at
tempt to negotiate, we shall neFer know
what can be accomplished. There has been
q change in the tone of southern sentiment.
Influential men recently expressed will
Iiugness to talk over our difficulties with
out prescribing r Independence, of the con-
federacy as an ultimatum. l believe the
southern people are tired of the warn We
can judge of their feelings by our own
They have suffered more than We can pos.
sibly imagine, and IFbelieye that II the
general goYernment fs placed in the hands
Of an administration that will be, willing
to coucede snd-guarantee the rights of the
states under the constitution, they will
gladly make peace; and If the secession
leaders interpose and place themselves in
the way of a peace on fair'terms they will
be hurled from power by their own people.

fHH oopperhsads are fond of saying that
the harsh measures Of the ADMINISTRATION
have furnished thousands of recruits for
the rebel army. Inssuuoh as the rebel
consSription law places the whole male
population, within the military age, in the
army, and the law Is .enforced with rigid
aud unrelenting adelity, we do not see how
any men are spared by JeR. Davis to go
into the ranks on account OF Lincoln.
The sympathy of the OOpPerheads hes af-
fOrded more encouragement to the enemy,
more aid and comfort to the rebellion than
all other causes together in the north.

strike OF Tn. TaiIorr.

Editors InteIligeHeeT: 3s.'
The notice of this strike in your paper Of
the 25th is correct as far as IL goes, bat
the gentlemen of the goose and needle claim
little more than an advance for stitchingI
viz: putting the females out of the
shops. The demand made for the present
is,that only those females who run machines
on the coats must leave work and of course
starVe. This has been already conceded %
by some of the shops. This step gained
the next attack will be on thsPant makers,
and so on till females are banished from 1
trade that justly belongs TO them.
The government is needing the services
of the able bodied males, and the question
arises is it patriotic of the tailofs to take this
step at the present moment Is 1t just to the
country2 And II 80, what is to become OF
the females? Your correspondent would
support the working men in being fairly,
laVishly paid, bnt this demand is not one Of
wages altogether, bat persecution Of one
class by another.

psspIn.lon o5r the south.

A lady, who has managed to return
from what was once the wealthiest and
most prosperous part of Alabama, makes
this statement concerning the condition
and spirit of the Southern peoples, I
The desolation of the Southern States
beggars description. Destination and
poverty have taken the place of opulence
and prosperity. Men that were worth
hundreds of thousands are reduced to ut-
ter poverty. AS for.the luxuries of life,
formerly so abundant in the South, there
are none.sa Those formerly the wealthiest
have nothing to sustain life but what the
country affords, and not enough Of that,
forssby impressment it is taken from them
for the army. i's' N ~. ne sai ~ ~
Their garments, even their shoes, the
families have to make themselves; they
spin, weave and, dye their cotton, and
homespun clothes, rich and poor. Tea,
coffee and sugar are not to be had; milk
and water are their only beverages;
Indian corn is their principal food. The
families are broken up and ruined.
You seldom meet with male inhabitant,
and if you do he is either infirm or q
cripple. A large portion of the male

more crippled for lifetime; many patriotic
Union men died ola broken heart What
remain are either in the army or in the
employment Of the Governmt Neverthe'
less press-gangs cross the country in all
directions IN search Of men for the army.
All ties of social life are completely dis
solved. H
No courts of Justice or equity are held
Justice is meted out by the military. Uni.
versities, colleges and schools are all sus
pended. The country in many places
resembles a Wilderness. Wherever the
armies march, there everything is ruin
ed-the crops destroyed, fences burned
. trees cut down, domestic animals killed
robbed, or taken for the army. But what.
Fever the Southern people may suffer, they
/ bear it with heroism and resignation
they have little hope of success. Their
are very few, if any, that prefer ignominy
