THE PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION.
VNHIS progress has brought to the world much
IL to help "the comfortess troubles of the poor,
and raise the human race above the state of stupid
animal existence, to which the large majority were
doomed in foregone centuries. But it may be
questioned whether any single invention of &C.
MUS and science has had more of this comforting
and improving influence that that Of the Sewing
Machine. ..

IHE NEW ORDER OF IHINGS-CLOSE Gull
T1vAT1oN.-We are glad to observe that the
mistaken idea of ''pride of acres" is being
gradually dispelled throughout the middle
aud Southern States, and that the cultive-
tors of the soil are beginning to realize
from experience that small farms, with good
tiilage and liberal use of manure, are the
surest means of success. And this result
may be attributed to the changed labor sys-
tenn of these sections, and the spirit of their
agricultural press.
Now, If we expect our land to yield abnn-
dainty, we must feed it well-feed it, too,
before it gets hungry, and rest it ere it be-
comes weary, as an eminent English agri-
culturist once said. There is also a great
deal in the manner in which we apply fer.
tlllzers. DIR. Voelcker chemist to the
Royal Agricultural Society, has established
the fact that all manures are better applied
upon the surface, to be washed in by the
rains, than turned under by the plow.
You should also study the nature of vour
soil, so as to know what manures to use.
Now Peruvian guano has ammonia in excess,
while the Orchilla possesses valuable phos-
pilates and alkaline salts-hence a great
value when combined. A standard super
phosphate is the giant manure, being bone
phosphate concentrated with sulphuric acid.
producing the soluble phosphoric acid-the
chemical constituents of which absorbs
ammonia from the atmosphere. "Rhodes'"
is, we believe, recognized as standard
phosphate" and being manufactured
on large scale, can be sold to the farmer
at a much lower price than he can produce
it for himself.
A farmer should select standard ingre
dients and combine for himself-it being
well known that ammonia and phosphates
are the leading properties to be obtained in
sufficient quantities for agricultural use
the other ingredients of plant food being
furnished by the soil and atmosphere
So much for manures. Another idea be-
fore closing We contend that the dignity
of agriculture should be recognized by the
young men of the country who should adopt
it as profession. Avoid the crowded cities
and towns to engage in the uncertainties of
commercial life. Remember that, if agri-
culture is allowed to languish, that being
the true basis of the nations wealth, dire
confusion in every other pursuit must inevi-
tably follow Attend we'll to the fountain
from which flows all our prosperity, and we
will hear less complaint about hard times
and nothing to do.
Finally, we urge upon young farmers the
Importance and value of credit-which is
equal to capital. Let farmers note" not
be by-word with banks and money. LEM ders,

ratio which is most astounding in educa-

we have to help ourselves in the world is
our cotton, which we are about to lose, and
our tobacco, which we shall lose.

Practice VS.. THEoRY.-Mr. Reverdy

-
Johncon has been berated, in Congress and
out OF it, for having made concessions in
the Clarendon-J ohnson convention, which
involved surrender of advantageous points
on our side; but if it were true, he might
retort, that no blunder alleged against him
has played as effectually and opportunely
into the hands of the astute English nego-
tiators as what has taken place in Congress
itself. The Clarendon treaty is to be re-
lected, because it does not 60 far enough in
its e1actions of Great Britain for recogni-
tion of belligerency in States containing
10000, 600 of people, who maintained them
selves for nearly four years after that recog-
milton, concerning which Mr.. Seward for
mally announced to our minister at the
British Court, in his despatch of April 10,
1851, that If the Southern States seeded
they could not be recovered by conquest;
and adding, emphatically, that this Federal
Republican system of ours is, of all forms
of government, the very one most untitled
for such labor. These and the Alabama
operations are the ground Of complaint
Yet there is a Congressional committee ac-
tually sitting in Washington to-day to dis
cuss the question of comforting upon the
President authority to recognize Cuba
whenever q de factO government is estab-
hshed, to say nothing of the propositions
which have been before Congress to recog-
nize the Cuban rebels as belligerents. to
''protect" Cuba, to recognize the Fenians,
&C. A proposition giving sympathy or mo-
raj support to the Cretans was actually
adopted, since which time the Cretans have
caved in, and our sympathy and moral sup
port, which ought to be industriously hus-
banded, in view of our being expected to
supply with those commodities all the rebels
in the world, outside our own country, has
been wasted and thrown away How long
is it since two of our iron -clads, under an
enabling Act of Congress, were sold to
Peru, then at war with Spain? That friend
of Theodorus, Senator Chandler, who want
ed to recognize" his Abyssinian majesty,
has also his share of responsibility for
weakening the force of our argument
against Great Britain. Is not Spain at this
moment complaining of the flibustering
expeditions alleged to be leaving our shores
for Cuba? If we do or connive at such
things ourselves, at the very moment we are
arraigning others and demanding reparation
for Identical acts, do we not weaken to that
extent our own cause, unless we assume the
preposterous pretension that what is wrong
in others is right in us? If it is important
to have the public opinion of the world
with us in those questions at issue between
US and Great Britain, which must be sub
mitted, in the end, to the arbitration of
some foreign power, we ought to como into
Court with the moral weight of q practice
in conformity with our theory. ry.-BnNimo,'e
