The statesmen OF the country with the
Emperor ia the lead, desire 70 heal the
breach rapidly. For this purpose, for
eiEn labor, capital and skin have been
invited 10 our shores. Many good men
Of the country look upon immigration,
on a large scale, as the readiest means of
restoring the equilibrium OF the classes,
and Of giving to this country and its in
stitutiOns the stability and force which
are so essential TO the full development
Of its vast powers, capabilities and re-
sources.
Hence the encouragement that Is now
offered to immigrants.
This country Is now in 2 better state 70
receive immigrants than 1t has been fer
many year.
The empire is daily gaining ground,
strength and support, and the armed or
ganization against it is broken up into
factions-its head and leader, EX-Presi-
dent JusTeZ, having left the country.
But now, with tHe dawnof q happy era
Of peace at last before her, Mexico, after
half a century Of continued change and
revolution, finds herself in an exhausted
state, and the immigrants who wish TO cast
their lot with Eer ausp clOus future must
bring with them something more than
brewny arms and 81 ut hearts. They
must not forget those appliances Of IN
dust~v. those labor saving machines and
improved modes OF husbaudry which
scie nt5fic skill and mechanical ingenuity
under the blessings of stable government
and long continued peace, have, in other
parts OF the world, brought % such per.
fiction.

How 10 Prepare Wool for Mar
.E.u rT t}tr, ket. "a *, .-pts

Producers of wool will consulf their own
interests by acting on the following remarks,
from the Detroit Post: Farmers, when
''unwashed' wool is spoken of, are very
apt to place too literal a construction upon
the term. Commercially speaking, it means
the wool Of sheep that have been washed
and then allowed to run too long before clip
ping. They should be clipped within seven
or ten days OF washing, ut the outside. Ii
not although the wool may look clean and
niee-owing to the removal of the dirty,
dingy particles by water-the oily accumula-
lation will lie so great that the fleece will
be actually heavier than if taken off before
washing. Farmers should not be deceived
by the light color and clean appearance OF
the fleece in such cases, because so far as
appearance is concerned the oil will make no
differance, should everso great a quantity be
present. 5er .a rs. ,r. ttLrsE
From wool in which the above objection
t;onal characteristic is apparent, buyers in
sist upon deductlng one third of the market
value Of wool in good condition, 1t will
be seen that the point is one worthy the Sc
rious attention Of the grower: From bucks
heeces in fair condition, one-third will be
deducted, and from bucks 1eeces unwashed
one halt. The practice has been INDUCED
in to some little extent, Of taking ''tags,'
and the feeces OF dead Sheep, auG putting
them inside of good @fleeces. This is a glar-
ing fraud, and if detected, the entire lot,
good and bad, will be elasscd andtreated as
''unwashed."
Another rcprehensible practice, heretofore
adverted to, is that Of using black Irvine, or
inordinate quantities, either white or black.
The proper way is to Tie up ~leeces with
light, flexible Irvine, Of which two strings
each way is amply sufficient. TIE leaving
of three or four yards of the material dang
ling is a careless practice, and should Be
avoided. In the case OF good wool tied up
badly, such large deductic MS as those above
adyerted 70 are not insisted on, but at all
events 2@3c difference will be made--a dif-
ference worthy the attention Of our.farmers,
especially if the market should rule a little
dull il which case nice wool, neatly put up,
will be sure Of . market, whether anything
| BE- sells OF not. ~ .Ttm asas i

A Nailed.

Hon. John Sherman, Of Ohio, in q late
speech in Congress, reiterated the old cal
of the Destructives in the North, that
at the time the civil war broke out, in April,
1861, Mr., Isaac Teucey, the Secretary of
the Navy under President Buchanan, had
SO disposed OF the navy that none of it was
available to use against the South. Here
are Sherman s words:
"Mr. Tuueey scattered our vessels, when
under his command, all over the world, SO
that when another and worthier citizen OF
your State cane to administer the affairs OF
the same department, the whole navy nnder
his command was Que vessel with hive guns
spiked"
Mr.. Toucey, seeing this charge thus put
forth by a responsible party, wrote a letter
to the New York Times, in which, after Civ
ing a detail of the navy at the close Of his
administration, he says; 4& az WV
Here were thirteen ships, with 1868 guns,
at home, in the Atlantic navy.yards, which
could have been put 10 sea in good order for
service before the bombardmentr of fort
Sumter. Thus we had on the Atlantic coast
at the Inauguration of Mr.. Lincoln, q naval
force of twenty-six vessels. carrying an arm
a nent of 554 guns, which could be put to
sea in good order before the war commenced.
against an enemy which had no naval force
whatever; for such had been the course of
the department in promptly removing all
seeds of disafection, that the secession of
eleven States from the.,Union lost not a sin
gle vessel to the service" r..a,tg,..
This proves that our Senator either made
the charge ignorantly, without knowing or
caring what he was saying, or that he will
fully endeavored to asperse the reputation
of a public officer. Either horn of the d.
lemma in which he is placed is disgraceful
to him. TINS least h, ON do is to make
public retraction, with an apology to Mr.
Toucey for the Misrepresentation.
