The amount, divided by So, the number of
days of the session, gives an average of a lit.
tie ever SIC so to each member, which is
certainly very fair per diem, even in these
days OF imitation. ~.
1t is generally understood, also, and well
known here. that members are presented by
various parties having axes to grind, with
little presents, including such Injuries as
whisky, cigars, and even in many cases
board and lod ging, to say nothing of coming
down to the ''brass" itself. These presents
are not of course, included in the above, as
it would be impossible to strike anything like
an average of them, and as their receipt by
members depends upon the individual con-
science of each. But, in justification of the
above account of items, as respects its accur-
acy, / beg leave to refer the curious TOR the

of the legislature, and to the forthcoming

charge made in extenuation of Legislative
corruption-that the members are not well
enough paid to insure them against corrup

decency, and that, in future, we must look for

2 HENRY A. WIsE's ADDRESS.
have already published extracts from
the speech of Henry A. Wise, con-
tanning some excellent advice to the
young men of Virginia. The Balti-
more Sun, in noticing these remarks,
says:
The future of Virginia and the
South, in Our view, depends as mu :h
upon the question whether the young
men of that section will act upon
such advice as this, as upon any poll
tical change in their condition. In
the substitution of the farming for
the plantation system, which is in
evltable in some of the States of the
South, the intelligent labor of the
owner is the great essential for sue
cess, and unless the young men are
prepared to see their State pass en-
tirely into other hands, they must
seize the spade and the plow handles
themselves, and use them with as
great energy as they did the musket
and the cannon. It is difficult to see
why labor should be regarded at any
time, as less honorable in creative
than in destructive arts, and especial
ly does such an idea seem preposter-
GUS, when labor becomes absolutely
essential to self-preservation. If
they cannot sacrifice foolish pride
for the sake of their country; if they
cannot work in peace as they did in
war, then they must not complain, if
they see their Inheritance pass into
the strong, industrious hands of emf
grants from other parts Of the land,
who, with their coats off and sleeves
rolled up, are coming either to assist
the native population in cultivating
the soil; or, if they will not cooperate,
to monopolize it themselves. Mr..
Wise has given his young fellow
citizens the best possible advice, and
we could wish that he had also dis
suaded them from emigrating from
their section. 1t is like deserting
their colors in the heat of an action,
to forsake the South now. What the
South wants is population rs we'll as
capital; but she can expect neither
from abroad during the present unset
tled condition of the country, and her
own Young men should stand by her
at lie till the dawning of brighter
day.

SECRET POLITICAL SOCIETIES.
They are the trouble and perplexity
in France at this time, and the police
of Paris are beginning to unearth
these secrect organizations. Immense
numbers of men are out of employ
ment, and riots are beginning to
show themselves. All these are
straws, and they indicate what is
coming, or what may come, unless
there be work and bread for the peo-
pie. just such a state of things pre-
ceded the old revolutions of France,
and there may come change of Go
vernment, if not of dynasty. Louis
Napoleon is becoming an old man,
and the Prince Imperial, his son, is
in feeble health, and popular discon-
tent is everywhere apparent.

SEwARD's Acc oUIs1rIoNs.- cores
pondent of the New York Times
thinks that Mr.. Stewards reiterated
attempts to get foothold in the
West Indies, is part of scheme for
the acquisition of all the West India
Islands as future home for the ne
groes of our Southern States. The
great bulk of the inhabitants of Cuba,
st. Domingo, Jamaica and adjacent
islands are blacks; and the proximity
OF these negro countries to our
Southern coast, would made it an
easy thing to bring about the migra-
ton or deportation of the two or
three millions of negroes located in
the States of our Southern sea-board.
The tropical climate and luxuriant
SOL OF these sunny isles would suit
them exactly, and they would have q
great advantage in settling down
among people of their own race and
nature. At the same time, the South
would be glad to get rid of danger
ous and antagonistic element, and
the fear OF NEGRO supremacy" would
pass away from the whole country. or
rather from the Democratic party.
We don't believe, however, that Mr..
Seward ever had any such idea in bis
territorial negotiations, eitherin Sitka
or st. Thomas,

suits of our experience in the use Of your
improved Poudrette-purchased Of you for
this years cotton crop-we would beg leave
to say that the present season has been
one quite unfavorable to the action of all
fertilizers.
Several kinds of manures were used by
us, with the exception of your Pondrette
with little or no effect to the crop.
Where the Poudrette was used, it gave
us near half a bale more per acre, and
caused the cotton to open much earlier;
and We would, therefore, recommend the
same as a concentrated manure for the
growth of cotton, as well IS improvement
to the soil. Yours, very respectfully,

SIR: The Double Refined Poudrette
bought for two other parties in connection
with myself-one Of them used it on cotton
and corn, and thinks it answered finely;
the other put it on cotton, on very poor
ground, and thinks it doubled his crop. l
used it on corn. 1t answered finely, and
was thought by the hand that cultivated
the crop to be fully equal to Rhodes Super
Phosphate. / also used it on about an
acre of cotton, and am clearly of opinion
that it is tho best and cheapest fertilizer
in use, and l expect to order several tons
this winter. Yours, very respectfully,
