RUSH OF EMIGRANTs TO THE UNITE1
SrArEs.-According to the Genoa papers,
twelve vessels left that port for America
in the month of March, taking out 1 1,066
emigrants, nearly all of them from North
ern Haly-that is to say, from the best
part of the population. A letter from
Ireland says:
The steamers belonging to the various
companies calling at Queenstown have
been found inadequate for the number Of
emigrants offering for transportation to
Uncle Sans territory. Although four
emigrant steamers sailed that week, over
five hundred persons have been shut out
for want of accommodation.

There were two bullets inside, and one
had gone partly through and was embed-

The Family Farm of John c. Calhoun.

A correspondent of a southern paper
says: " AT Pendleton, South Carolina, is
the family farm of the celebrated John G.
Calhoun, and at the present time the home
OF his widow and children. 1t is neat
and comfortable residence, pleasantly en-
powered in trees, and commanding beau
tiful view of the mountains. Around it
lie large and fertile fields of meadow land
in high state of cultivation, stretching
along the banks of Seneca. 1 am told
that Mr.. Calhoun, during his lifetime, was
accustomed to superintend the culture of
this farm with the greatest care and inter-
est. Near the dwelling house, and shaded
by beautiful oaks, stands his library and
study, with portico which commands an
extensive view of the country. From the
top of the hill on which the house stands,
one can trace the windings of the river for
several miles. Several gentlemen's houses,
all embowered in trees, can be seen from
Fort Hill, to each belonging many hun
dred acres of rich river land.

The American Farmer, published at
Baltimore, by Worthington & Lewis, at
81 per annum, is one of the best agricul-
tural works in the country. From it we
appropriate the following articles:
The "Japan Spring Wheat" adver-
tised to produce 60 bushels to the acre, is
no wheat at ALL, but vriety of the .Sor-
ghum Vulgare, known in some of the Sou
thern States by the name of Doura-in
other places called Indian Millet and Gui-
nea Corn. 1t seems impossible that any
one should have been deceived as to the
character of this plant.
A diligent reader of the Farmer, promp
ted no doubt by its suggestions, planted
Goodrich potatoes last year on very poor
ground, using twCtons Of Peruvian guano.
He has sold from the crop $500 worth,
and is not done yet. Let us say, that it
is very .unwise to be planting the old rot
ting kinds, when the Goodrich, Harrison,
Montori, &c. can be had, and do not rot.
