We appreciates this confidence, and shall labor
to retain it, Its previous attractions will be con-
ltnued and increased. The main features of our
WEEKLY will be agriculture, literature, politics,
and the markets, with the latest summary of the
daily news. We have made special arrange
ments to increase its influence as an agricultural
journal. The Farmers Club will be fully re-
ported, and special articles on agricultural topics
contributed by the best writer's No farmer who
desires to till the soil with profit, and to know
the progress constantly made in the science Of
his calling, can afford to neglect the advantage

Very Appropriate.

The FORK Gazette did very neat thing
last week in publishing the Presidents am,
nesty probation by amending the text in a
very important particular. The following
is the Gazette's version:
"Now, therefore, be ii known that I, An
drew johnson, President of theUnited States
by virtue of the power and authority in me
vested by the Constitution, and in the name
of the SOUTHERN PEOPLE," &c.
OF course, he issued his proclamation in
the interest Of the Southern rebels, for their
especial and particular benefit, and the Ca
zette thought it very proper to put it in
their name. The Gazette can pride itself in
doing very proper thing in an exceedingly
neat way.
