Something to go Upon.

We take the following timely extract
from the Old NORTH State, published in
Salisbury, North Carolina. 1t is worth
more than columns Of precept from fine
talking farmers:
"STILL ExCELLISG.-Ar. I. L. Brown,
Of this place, who was so successful IN
embarrassing last year, reports splendid
result for the present season-One hsutdred
bushels on fUe acres. 1t was raised on a
rather inferior piece of land. treatment
deep and thorough ploughing, careful har-
rowing, and a liberal use Of stable manure
on the thin parts.
"Tcn acres of the same kind of land, ad-
Joining Mr.. Browns lot, yielded less than
thirty bushels and several other lots also
adjoining did but little better.
"The wheat crop of this section, accord
ing to the reports we have had, Will scarcely
average half CROP"
There could not be stronger case show
ing the grand result of the simple receipt
deep and thorough ploughing, careful
narrowing, and liberal use OF stable
" manure on the thin parts" One hundred
bushels on .fre acres of "rdther inferior
lund" is the recompense of this sort Of till
age, when an adjoining ten acres did not
yield thirty bushels all told And as If this
we're not enough, the chroniclcr adds that
the wheat crop generally of the region
about Salisbury is hardly half crop! Sc
that Mr.. BRowS, by his mode of tillage
achieves u "splendid result" while all
around him is disappointment. What q
lesson to farmers How much better to be
content with small areas well titled and ma
nured than to waste labor on expansive sur
faces imperfectly cultivated. With one, Ia,
Dor is rewarded and land steadily i'm.
provcd-with the other, the results are dig
couraging and the land being s otte;ii0ily ex-
ha asss..sa ;ss-. appreciated in value. &c

The Blockade of Mazatlan.

The little excitement on the Pacific coast
at Mazatlan, in Mexico, has attracted some
interest, since it possibly may lead to
more serious mater. The British man
war Chandelier, Captain BRIDGE, ran into
the port of Mazatlan after being cxtrlcated
from a dangerous position on the coast ny
Mexican pilot. While there one OF her
officers was arrested on shore, charged VII"
cndeavoring to smuggle specie aboard the
ship to avoid paying the export duty. Cap
tain BRIDGE was soon after himself ar
rested on the game charge while he was on
shore, whittier he had gone to demand the
release of his subordinate. After being
searched he was released, and repaired to
his ship. He Immediately opened sharp
correspondence with General CORONA, VINO
was in command of the town. The denerai
stated that the officials denied that they had
acted in an outrageous manner, asserting
that they we're only discharging their duty
in enforcing the laws against smuggling.
Captain 3. pressed General G. pretty
heavily, whercupon the General took the
ground that it was civil matter, IN when
he could not interfere. The Captain i'm
mediately determined to lombard the place :;
but was digsuaded from it upon the repre-
sensations Of the British and Prussian
Consuls that two-thirds Of the property OF
the place belonged to foreigners. lie then
blockadcd the town to all Mexican vessels
until he could have orders from the British
Admiral of the Pacific, then at Victoria.
There is little doubt but that Mexico will
have to make the a1nende honorable for
although it may be suspected that the
strong temptation to smuggling presented
by the heavy export tax on specie at Ma
zatlan may have tempted the game officers
of the Chanticleer into little skirmishlng,
the proof will be difficult to produce, and
the offence of the arrest of the officers upon
such a charge unsustained will be quite
enough for rigid demand, to be enforced
by naval attack.
Mexico can neither preserve order ut
home nor keep out of trouble in her foreign
relations. The United States will have to
take possession Of that poor, troubled, and
troublesome country to keep it from falling
into the hands of some other nation. 1t
would be healthy diversion from the pre-
sent tyrannical schemes and plots of the
Federal Government were this undertaken
1t once. 1t would open wide field for
Africans.

North Carolina.

Upon the adoption Of the HOWARD amend
ncut by the North Carolina Legislature
Governor HoLpEN telegraphed the fact to
General CANDY; whereupon that othcer
1elegraphed back that instructions should
on that day July 3d) be sent "to the MILL
"tary commanders in North Carolina to alb
(" stain from the exercise of any authority
"unler the reconstruction laws, except to
'.closc up unfinished business" and, 1ur-
thermorc, - not TO interfere IN any civil
matters unless there should be unlawful
cor forcible opposition to inauguration oil
&" the new State government"
We suspect that these fellows OF the
r,xyy. school are far more fearful that
there will be no resistance than they are
,hot there will be. They are exceedingly
anxious to have something to do III the line
If hectoring and ordering people about
from "these headquarters" II the ex-
nression of this qualification OF the order

viii be a sort Of carrying out the Radical
policy Of slu,riny the whites of the South
and throwing suspicion upon them to the
last, as ut least al apology for the mann
,epance of the military despotsm over
them.
The people of North Carolina are no
doubt glad to get rid of CANDY. If they
were only relieved of the filthy aud rasoally
Hur.au at the same time, they could soon
,.;abt themselves. They have the numerl-
cal mental, and moral force to do this II
they could only be relieved from the ty-

PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YORK.
Among the Pennsylvanians are Hon. j:
L. Dawson, late member of Congress, ana
Governor Bigler, looking as young ana
keen as ever the tall and striking form OF
the learned and upright Judge WoodWaTa'
General Cass, and other well-known puolic
men. Mr.. Holster Clymer is solid, good
looking man, sensible and energetic in de-
hate. He was the defeated candidate OF the
Democracy at their last election for Cover
nor. The Pennsylvania delegation has
been the subject of universal interest.
Had they been emphatic for Pendleton, as
claimed, they would have insured his nom!-
nation with shout. Had they been unahi-
nous for Hancock and steadfast, his uitl-
mate triumph would have been very pro,
bable. At present they are still claimed
by both sides, and are courted desperately.
Never has Pennsylvania been more en-
phatically keystone State than now.
MARYLAND numbers Hon. Montgomery
Blnir as her most leading member. The
delegation ore for Fendlstonj bat would go
cheerfullv for General Frank Blair if he
comes anywhere near q nomination.
New York is present, as usual, with
very able delegation, embracing eminent
and honored names, such as Church, Tilden,
Seymour, and others. A more quiet but
hardly less effective representative is Mr..
John A. Green, said to be more than any
man successor to the power Of the late Dean
Richmond.
THE USDER-CURREET,
The anti Pendleton men wanted the Ter
ritories to be on the committee to select
permanent officers, and the Pendeton men
insisted that this belonged TO the States ex-
clusively. The Convention adopted the
latter course. The discussion was long
one, but though earnest there was no bad
feeling. Ohio led one wing and New York
the other. The Pendleton forces had the
numbers. but were deficient in leadership
and organization. New York showed all
her wonted skill. Among the southerners
there we're may eloquent men and sklltul
parliamentaries, but they sat as quietly IN
their seats as if they had never opened
their mouths in their lives in public. They
voted, nevertheless, and take the position
that they will vote on all questions ms they
arise, avoiding anything resembling dis
play.
On the whole, the morning was spent IN
q proftless debate, with no bad feeling, out
serving to show that the members ha4
something at heart. There was no reaI
struggle for organization, and the debate at
least served to show that matters were not
cut and dried.

The Democratic Convention

This important body made little progress
Yesterday. Deliberation is an excellent
sign. The determination to adopt plat
form before making a nomination is most
wise. principles, not men," we hope to
scc again the governing maxim of the party
in power. Il is better to adapt the man to
principles than the principles 10 the man.
As far as indications lave been afforded,
the Convention is bold and confdent-fnc
aUgury OF success. The declaration that
everybody, including Mr.. DAVIS, ought to
have had the benefit of the amnesty is frank
and just.
Our correspondent states that the plat
form is finished, and that sit is gooo
one" 1t was not reported, however, at the
time the Convention adjourned.
