Upon the question of manual labor IN
volved In this subject am less clear Our
reason, experiences and prejudices seem ALI
at fault in relation to It,. n This much, how-i
ever. is reasonable in my judgment, Wis
that there is no use in either icollegesgOr or
schools to teach the mere manual dexteris
ties of rAgriculture--as rpl0ughing, hoeings
spading chOpping, aud the rest--but it Is
the intelligence of the principle to be work-
ed at and wrought out, which this edocas
tion Is TO impart. As much manual labor
at least, must be maintained, as will serve
definitely and familiarity, to eXempliiy, IL
lustrate and put into visible practice with
its results, the scientific truth, new or old,
upon which they must rest. T1bum
Some correspondence has been held be-
tween the late Governor and those of other
States, In regard to a common principle OF
action in the disposition of this Serips
And Varioussuggestions have been made TO
me by private individuals for some plan,
by whichit could be sold in larger qnanti-
ties than by retailing to individual purs
chasers. But none of these conferences
have developed into any plan worthy of
calling your attention to them. This sub
ject of the proper disposition Of the Sci'ip is
commended to your consideration. G .V
........ IMMIGRATION! Do f5lr... lEt
You will have and doubtless will care
fully consider the report OF the Commits
sioner of immigration, and the general
topic of which il makes part. i1ihnaq
g,This subject is always of great import
ance to Ohio. lis especially so at this
time. The War of Rebellion, which has
disturbed aud revolutioniZed so many other
practices and principles, has also greatly
changed this matter and our relation to it.
IL has sent and will send many of our
own best and most enterprising citizens 10
the open. sunny free South. IL is also di-
verting European immigration in the same
direction. We may comfort ourselves by
the grand and maguanimOusi idea, of the
compensation to the new or renovated Ma
tiOn, as whole. But the fact will still
remain that Ohio--as 0hiO-(and her in
terests make our business, as General AS
sembly and Governor,) will suffer, by the
change, unless she takes some action,
which looks towards counterpoise. o. hnh
Moreover; our neighbor States to the
west of us, stimulated by this common dan
ger, have been, are, and will be active to
improve or else maintain their own con-
dtions. Certain advantages they natural-
ly and necessarily have over us. These, by
their agents in Europe. they will indubita+
bly, press upon the migratory masses. Our
special adVantages--many and greata-ebe
assured, they never will disclose or inti5
mate. Neither, in all probability, will the
National Commission. very specially, work
for Ohio. The only question is: shall we
do this Justice to ourselvesP Withoutres

Supposing that the cessation of the war
would soon put an end to the necessity of
these agents, and being firmly convinced Of
the policy Of closing all war expenditures
as rapidly as possible, with the war ITSELF
and of coming Immediately and severely
down to peace establishment, before such
officers and expenditures shall become
chronic through mere continuance, I noti-
fed all these agencies to prepare for an
early close Of their duties, and some Of them
l specifically required To do so by the first

Sanitary Commission, whose officers have

soldiers an excellent service, la gratuitous-

to close out all their business. This miso
fortune (for such Il is} has thrown an iri-
creased business Of this sort upon our State
agents. and In several Of them their duties
Iof this Kind are greatly Increased instead
of being diminished, as was anticipated.
