VOL XXII.

We have had beautiful weather for the past
two weeks-warm, sunny days and clear cool
nights, but no frost yet; but it is little rainy
just nov. The people have improved it by
making up their sorghum crop into molasses.
Almost every farmer raises enough for his own
use, and some sell few barrels but its culture
Is not gone into very extensive, as the apparatus
il homemade and rude, and the manufacture is
slow but with improved appara tus, it might be
made valuable product and a profitable ar
ticle oiexport The wheat crop was good, but
damaged BY the rains, but the corn crop is very
large. Fruit is plenty, but there is not near as
many apples this year as usual. Business is
quite brisk, as nearly all the southwest part Of
the State Is supplied with g DDS through Rolla,
and there are thousands passing through, re-
turning 10 their old homes, or coming from the
east to make new ones and it is hard finding
better country ior home than this. H.R.

low, Gardiner s., one OF the best boys in

The correspondent from whose letter we have
taken this account, writes " The results OF our

nothing but good, and can cordially recon-
mend this method of school government to all
who care to try it, cautioning them at the same
time that very careful handling Is requisite to

Internal Revenue Decision on Travelling
Agents.

OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
Washington, Sept o, 1865,
SIR Your letter of the 3lst ult inquiring
ii the manufacturer or dealer himself travelling
about the country soliciting orders for bis own
establishment, Is to be held a Commercial Bro
ker, and as such required to take out a license:
is received.
No one whatever is authorized to solicit orders
for goods without a Commercial Brokers Ii
cense Neither is 1t material how fractional a
part his commercial travelling may constitute
OF his whole business. A familiar parallel for
this, is afforded in the auction business. mer.
chant cannot, without an Auotioneer license,
sell at auction, If but one day in year, and
then his twn goods. This construction, besides
being rendered necessary by tho terms OF tho
law, is clearly equitable. If the agent of
New York house appears in your city seeking
orders Tor goods, he conflicts directly with the
dealers in such goods in that market, and there
Is as much propriety in requiring him to be
licensed as il he was pedler, and carried
stock with him.
Very respectfully, WV. ORION,
Commissioner.

Out from the golden day
Fading away in the Hight SO sweet,
Where the silver stars and the sunbesms meet,
over the silent way

The pearl-white hands ar, pressed
The ashes he on her cheeks so thin
Where The softes blush Of the rose hath bern-
Shutting the blue Of her eyes within,
The pure lids closed to ret.

Tw.neth her sunny hair
Abe was SO fragile, that love sent down,
From his heavenly gems, that soft bright crown
20 shade her brow with lts waves so brown,
Light as the dimplng air.
Goue TO sleep with The .euder mile
Froze on her silent lips
ly The farewell kiss Of her desy breath,
cold in the clasp Of the angel death,
Like he last bud of a faded wrealh,
Who.e bloom the white fros. nips.

When ths dew n tho heart OF the rose is set,
