A letter from Buenos Ayres says: "a
Welsh colony has arrived, intending to set
tie in Patagonia. There are three thous-
and emigrants coming to this settlement,
of whom two hundred and fifty are ON the
ground They bring their own mills,
looms, mechanics, ETC., with them, and they
also soon intend owning line Of vessels
steam-to carry on their own trade
Mr.. G. W. Jackman, of Newberryport,
has contracted to build the first of new
line of steamships to run between Boston
and Liverpool. The vessels of this line
are to be three deckers, and of 5000 tons
burden each.

SIGyIFIcANT.-A county convention of
the Republican party was held at Perry,
Indiana, on the 18th ult, which passed the
following resolution:
Resolred, That while in the present un-
settled condition of the negroes in the
United States, humanity requires that they
should not be held responsible fer the evils
which appear incident to the rebellion, now
happily ended, still we believe that both their
happiness and the welfare of our people
require that they ould remain in the
States where they now are, and therefore
we are opposed to their permanent settle
ment in Indiana.

How CoRN Is PRESERVED IN RUssiA.-At
a meeting of the Academy of Sciences, held
in Paris, letter from NJ. de Semchoff,
Russian landholder, was read, describing
the manner in which corn pits are made in
that country. The pit is dug in dry soil,
and instead of masonry the sides are hard
ened by long continued exposure to wood
free. Before the corn is introduced, the
air in the pit is rari. d by burning some
straw in it, after which the grain is thrown
in packed close, and the pit tightly enclosed.
Corn has been preserved in such pits for
forty years. Some Of our western farmers,
who raise large crops Of wheat and corn,
should try this new method Of preserving
grain during yea > when there is great
yield, in order to lay up a store for seasons
Of inferior yield.

EDUCATION-WHAT Is IT?-An elaborate
argument establishing the necessity of ed
ucation is not the thing just now needed
What then? Why! A deep impression
upon the masses of its great unimmedate
value. The war has withdrawn the young
men of our country from their collegiate md
professional courses. Very few young men
have completed . college course of study
during the last four years. Most of our
youths are receiving their chief training in
the severe school of the soldier in which
the physica! man receives most attention,
and the noral-intellectua man is greatly
neglected. Such being the case, our chief
reliance for the future thinkers OF our coun-
try must be on the rising generation, just
now getting ready, to enter upon courses
Of study. For them every means should be
provided to qualify them for their high fu-
ture duties. Parents and guardians should
afford them every encouragement possible
to induce them to study--to devote then-
selves sedulously to their tasks. Vain is
the labor of the teacher, if he be not sup
puorled by home and social Influences. Let
fathers mothers, b. others and sisters, the
relatives, and friends of our youth, exert
themselves to induce their young male rela-
tives, to adhere closely to their studies

HOW to Detect Counterfeits.

|. Examine the appearance OF bill
the genuine have n general dark. neat ap
pearance.
2. Examine the vignette, or picture in
the middle of the top, sec If the sky o.
back ground looks clear and TRANSPARENT
or soft and even, and not scratchy.
3. Examine well the facci see il the ex.
prcssions are distinct and easy, natural AID
life-like, particularly the eyes.
4. See if the drapcry or dress MS well
looks natural and easy, shows the iolds
distinctly.
s. Examine the medallion, ruling and
heads, and circular ornaments arouAd the
figures. See If they are regular, smooth
and uniform, not scratchy. This work, in
the genuir g, looks as il raised on the paper
and cannot pc .cctly initiated
q. Examine the principle line OF letters
or name of the bank. See If they are up
right, perfectly true and eveni or sloping,
of uniform slope.
7. Carefully examine the shade or paral-
lcl ruling on the face cr outside Of the letters;
see if il is clear and looksas if colorcd with
brush. The fine parallel lines in the gen
uine are of equal size, and smooth and
even; countcrfcits look as if donc with q
file.
8. Observe the round handwriting en-
graved on the bill, which should be black,
equal in size and distance, Of uniform
slope, and smooth This is, ingcnuine notes
invariably well done, and looks very per-
feet. In counterfeits it is seldom so, but
often looks stiff, as if done with pen.
0. Notice the imprint of the engraver
name, which is always near the border or
end of the note, and is always alike; letters
small, upright engraved very perfectly
Counterfeiters seldom do it well.
NoTE 1t was remarked by Stephen Bor-
roughs, before he died, that two things
could not be counterfeited-onc was the die
work; or portrait, medallion heads, vignette
and the other standing or ruling above the
letters.-Bank Note Reporter.

GEN. MEAGHER ON THE TREATMENT OF THE
SoUTH.-In a speech recently delivered in
St. Paul, Minnesota, by Gen. 7. F. Meagher,
be dscoursed in the following strain upon
the motives which should actuate the North
in the present state of affairs and the man
ner in which the South should be treated /:
IL 81 II Il IL
The next question suggested by the events
of the day, and the new condition in which
the Southern States find themselves in rela-
tion to the terms and disposition which the
people of the loyal States should extend to
the former, and the good will and friendship
they should manifest toward those whose
manly acceptance Of what they consider to
be their adverse fate, entities them to the
respect and consideration Of their more for
tunate rivals in the field. The answer to
this question is already set forth in the con-
ditions of the surrender at Appomattox
Court House. 1t becomes the people Of the
North, and it seems to me to be a sacred
obligation with them, to treat the people of
the South with an honorable propriety and
o gallant generosity. A policy or bearing
other than that indicated in the military
surrender, will counteract the success Of
our arms, keep the wounds of the South in
Hameu, pTOuuCe al lrTcpuraplc uilehabioh
and overshadow with opprobium the laurels
of the North.
Defeated as the South has been in its
great scheme to install another government
and nationality ON this continent, and win
the royalty of Mississippi-having fought
in the teeth of the most crushing odds and
disabilities with soldiership that estab-
fishes them in history as the most masterly
revolutionists of any age or country-and
the National government resumes its sway
with weightier authority than it ever held
before, and an admitted superiority over
the oldest and grandest powers, it should
be the aim and object of the people of the
North and West so to conduct themselves in
their social and political relations with the
South, that the latter, even in the hour of
their capitulation, and amid the havoc that
has swept their fields and cities, shall be
induced to entertain one regret Only-and
that the manly and generous regret that
they ever struck a blow against the United
States and coveted the humiliation of our
flag.
