tiers, and would report it Just as it was.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

MississiPpi-Her Resources.

In former articles we attempted
to describe the natural capacitie.
of our State. Now the question
arises, how are we to develop
them
This is Of too great importance
TO be answered minutely In one
newspaper article.
First-Our people must improve
their agriculture, that first and
best Of human pursuits, which is.
a. yet, with us, in almost a print
tive state, by the use of labor
saving machinery, so that enc
man can perform the work to
which three are unequal, under
the present system. Old ideas
must yield to the influence of ex-
tended wants. We do not need
to experiment with these ma
chimes. Their utility has alre ady
be proven, by the farmers Of the
Northern States, and we may
profit by their experience.
We must add threefold to the
production OF each acre, by the
use Of manures, both natural and
artificial. OF the former, the
various kinds Of mari which can
be found on every plantation, are
the principal of the latter. guano
and ground bones are the best /;
aud here too, will the experience
Of the farmers of the older States
avail us.
Second We must encourage
immigration by every means in
our power, until all of our unoc.
cupied lands are taken up. We
can the more easily do this low
that the passions cngendercd by
the late civil war, are softer ing
away and the flames, which ia
matte zeal has so long fed to
destroy us, are, for the want of
fuel, sinking into ashes ; as shown
by the fact that Northern papers
are no longer filled with imagin-
airy dangers to life and property
in the Southern States.
We want the manufacturer of
Massachusetts and England to
convert our cotton into cloth, and !
the cotton seed into oil. Nothing |
will be lost by this process. The |
8 cake" is as good for manuring
the soil after the oil has been eX- |
tracted as before, and can be |
back for third of the |
original value of the seed.
New Jersey and Germany must |
furnish agriculturists and gard
ners.
From the great grain growing !
States Of the West, we want those
who will cultivate wheat, and
then we can dispense with St.
Louis, Cincinnati and Louisville
markets. At every mans door
here will be Touring mill
Maine and Sweden must send US
their surplus lumber-men. Our
pine forests will furnish them
profitable employment.
We must also extend our invi-
.ation to the wine-growcrs of
France, Italy and Spain.
To the benefit of these aces
sions to our population, should be
added the extension of our rail-
road system until each county
will be bound to the other by iron
ties, and none will live beyond
the sound of the tread Of the iron
horse, nor remote from a ready /
in which the productions
Of the soil may be turned into
money.

CHAABERsBURG, Pa, March Ill
On Thursday afternoon last. girl of
thirteen years old. and two young la
dies, daughters of neighoOring farm
ers, were ravished by a negro. On
Friday the negro. who is nineteen
years old. name Sam Norris. native
of ChambeFsburg. was arrested, and
is now in Jail, charged with perpetra-
ting these outrages. There is but lit
tie doubt of his being the guilty party.
The excitement in the community is
intense. Last Friday night an effort
was made 70 take Norris from Jail
and hang him. No less than eight
hundred people gathered about the
building. Speeches were made by a
number of prominent citizens, and the
mob was induced 70 disperse. The
prison has since been guarded by q
strong force summoned by Sheriff
Young. The ladies outraged are the
daughters ofthree of our most respect
able farmers.

BUTLER, THE NEW LEADER OF THE HoUsE-A
Washington dispatch of the 18th, to the New York
Herald. says: "Butler is gradually becoming, if
he is not already, the leader Of the House. To day
he was the most conspicuous man there, and de.
spite the national bank interest, which is very
large in the House, and the Pacific railroad inter-
est. which is equally strong, pushed through a
resolution of inquiry antagonistic to little ar.
rangement which has proved beneficial to both of
them. The secretary of the treasury was present
during the whole discussion, and was boldly told
by the new leader of the House that himself and
the controller of the currency were the "paid
agents of the national banks.n The reporters IN.
derstood Butler to cay the treasurer" but he
meant to say the secretary of the treasury. Mr..
McCulloch seemed to meet the charge with good
humor and laughed heartily at it. Butler, how.
ever, carried his point, as he generally does.

CITY TOPICS.

Everybody just low il talking about the grand
entertainment which ia to commence next Mon
day evening at Odd Fellows Hall. The OBJ
ject Of the affair, 1t is well known, is to raise
funds to aid the directors of st. Annals Asylum to
carry out their good work of aiding the widow
and fatherless in their aficton. II will be under
the control of. number Of ladies, whose success
in managing other entertainments of the kind is
guarantee that all who go to Odd Fellows Hall
next week viii not only do charitable deed, but
find pleasure in doing it. The citizens of New Or
leans are not wont to be backward in responding to
appeals to their sympathy and let Us hope that the
fair for the benefit of st. Annals Asylum viii
prove no exception to the rule which has held in
the past.
Some of our leading German merchants have,
through Mr.. Heidenhain, presented bill before
the Legislature to incorporate the " Germania
Banking, Savings and Exchange Institution" with
a capital of 100000. This is one Of the few genu-
inc bills before the General Assembly of Louisiana,
and in view Of its necessity, growing out of the
daily increase of our German population, should
at once be put into operation. Such names as
Schneider & Zuberbier, D. Michel, Simon J. Fla
tow, Elmer & Bader and Fred. Del Bondio, head
the list of the first board Of directors, and neces
EARLY leave no room to doubt that the enterprise
win be carried on with ability and integrity.
II is pleasant to notice that some of the colored
men of New Orleans instead of indulging in Wis
ionary dreams of forced social equality for their
race are going to work to spread amongst the
freedmen that education and knowledge on which
they will have in the future to solely rely to sus-
tain even the position they now occupy Jas citi-
zens and voters. Some eight or ten colored men
have recently formed an association entitled the
Southern Progressive Publishing Association,
whose object is by the publication and dissemina-
ton Of books, pamphlets, newspapers, etc.,
amongst the negroes, to enlighten their minds
about various practical subjects with which they
have every day to deal. We much doubt the
practicability Of the scheme, still we wish it sue
cess, for now that the colored men are given a
voice in the management ofpubc affairs, it is our
interest that they should be rendered as compe
tent as possible to discharge their new functions

A short time since we called attention to the
fact that some butchers of New Orleans had peti.
toned the Legislature to enact some law prohbi-
tory 10 free markets, or private markets as they
are sometimes called, in this city. Since then
bill has been introduced to that effect II is very
cleverly written instrument, being entitled an act
TO authorize private markets in every parish ex-
cept Orleans and Jefferson, its real object being
thus hidden. But, nevertheless, its aim is to sup
press private markets in New Orleans and nothing
else. Now, as these institutions are of very great
use and convenience to the citizens, and as the
only persons that their existence Injuries are the
butchers of the public markets, whom they under
sell. their adjustment would be simply useless
and foolish exercise Of power on the part Of the
General Assembly. Whether this fact viii have
any weight with them remains to be seen, but it
is to be hoped that measure SO fraught with in
jury to the poorer portion of our population. and
beneficial to but single class Of men, will be
voted down.
We learn that in the expectation OF being en-.
abled to remove the seat of government OF the
State of Louisiana to the parish of Jefferson, men,
bers of the Legislature have seriously considered
the propriety of buying the Burthe estate be-
tween this city and Carrollton. The property
consists of from twenty i've to thirty lots of
ground, and are estimated to be worth from
sl75, 900 to 100000.

Rule No. of the Senate, which was adopted
yesterday, forbids senators to speak' to one
another, or otherwise interrupt the business of
the Senate, or read any newspaper while the
journal or public papers are being read, or when
any senator is speaking in debate. The rule is an
excellent one-if it can only be carried out. You
might as well attempt to dam up the waters Of the
Nile or the Mississippi river as TO put such
resolution in force.
