AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION.
:" IT 0tsd : 1ON1
+, For the Committee

The following report of the Committee on
Agricultural Education was read by the Chair
man, Hon. N. r. Middleton: -.
Production, we all know, is the chief element
of national prosperity; food and raiment are
essential to human comfort, and, of course, the
more directly and certainly these are supplied,
the more room and the more encouragementfor
higher attainments As general rule men
must be placed above the pressure of daily need
before they can have either the leisure or the
desire for mental cultivation.
We are not now to learn that mind rules the
world. The history of this country, until the
late revolution, has left us no doubt as to this
position. 1t was to the leisure for mental cul-
under peculiar circumstances, afforded to her
first men, that our State owes her acknowl-
edged supremacy in the Federal Councils. 1t
was the fertility of her soil, combined with per-
manence of labor, that enabled her to live and
prosper under system of partial and oppres-
siye legislation, to which the world knows no
parallel. ,.@.,z. ~
We have been bereft of our peculiar advan-
tages, and are now thrown upon the resources
which we share in common with all mankind.
Nothing is left but our soil, our climate and
ourselves; but these are left, and they consti-
tute g fund of material which renders us fully
competent to regain our lost position, and COM
mand the attention and respect Of the world.
Indeed, we are not sure that, in the long run,
our misfortune may not prove an advantage to
us for. while Cotton was King" and our
great staples were furnished to us with fscii-
ty and certainty which deied competition,
there may have been, perhaps, too little OF
mental effort i'll the department of agriculture,
and q sense Of security, which tended to foster
our natural Incidence, and the still more natu-
raj pride of otir hearts, we had insensibly be-
come both dependent and exclusive. This was
not wholesome state of things, and the ener-.
gies which are now demanded, and the. coop
Grafton and mutual consideration which have
become absolutely necessary to our success, may
eventually place US upon irmer foundation,
and elevate US to a higher platform than we
have yet enjoyed.
While the returns of our labors have been SO
abundant as to call for, little or no improve
ment in our system of agriculture, the stimulus
of necessity hasdriven others to exertions, both
of mind and body, which have reacted upon
themselves, both in character and fortune, and

The Committee on Direct Trade appointed

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
New Phase Of the Case.
England to Appear I'm the Role OF An
Injured Innocent.

We take the following from letter recently
written by an American citizen prominently
engaged in business in London, to a gentleman
now in this city, who has spent the most Of the
time for several years past in England:
You must have noticed the unexpected
tEough gradual change which has come over
the Alabama controversy IN this country AT
tne close OF the war 1t was very generally con-
coded that not only was America entitled to
compensation for Alabama depredations of a
sum to be agreed on, but that some sort of repa-
ration was due for our haste in recognizing the
S9utl; as well as Tor various other acts of un-
friendlness and hostility to the United States.
Little by little, as the negotiation proceeded
and Mr. Bull discovered Uncle Sans weak
points in the argument, and his indsposition to
push things to extremes. he shifted his ground
until from admitting the justice of the claims
he has at last come to the conclusion as iudge
from the general tone of the press that there IL
no foundation in law or spirit for Uncle Sans
pretensions. Indeed, the worthy old gentleman
seems to have discovered that il WAS your bnII
that gOred his OK, and You must not be surnrised

mand made on You for a large sum for

SENATOR Ross AND THE IMPEACHMENT
TRIAL--Senator Ross has made a reply of con-
siderable length to the notification addressed TO
him by the committee appointed by the Kansas
Legislature to inquire into alleged misconduct
on his part in connection with the Impeachment
trial Senator X. informs the committee that
his Official duties will prevent him from heinz
present IN person to answer to the charges. but
he transmits quantity of documentary evil
dence, and asks that in the examination nothing.
however unfriendly or calculated to sustain the
charges against him, may be kept back or COW
cred up. He says:
For nearly year succeeding the close of the
trlal made repeated and urgent efforts 10 &C.
cure an examination of these charges by the
senate OF the United States, but although the
committee appointed at my request to make that
inquiry was composed of four RepubIiaan SEN
a.crs who voted for the Impeachment. and one
Democrat VINO uI3 not, it was never Organized.
and the chairman was compelled to report at
the close of that Congress that they had been
able to elicit nothing derogatory to the accused
Senators.
Now, however, that the matter has been
taken IN hand by n branch of the Legislature
OF my own State, trust that il will DO the peo-
PIE OF the State and myself the justice to make
the Investigation as thorough and as searching
as 1t Is possible for il to be. If shall be founI
to have traDsgressed the proprieties of my po-
siton, il Is due 10 the people OF the State that il
be shown in time for them to vindicate them
selves, ana rebuke an unfaithful public servant,
at the approaching election for my successor.
IL not so found, il II due To myself, and to the
. Senate of which am a member, that an end
shall be made OF unseeIaly and unsubstantiated
criticism,
"s6 lar a. an inq uiry into my action in the i'm
peaebment trial is concerned, desire, in con-
cluslOn, 10 say to YOU, and through YOU 10 the
honorable House of Representatives, that in all
the history of that great trial, so fraught, as
deemed, with peril To the Republic. L have no
thing 10 adj and nothing TO take back. If am
to be censured for having acted upon my own
convictions Of justice and prOprIety, and for
having dared TO assert in the face of an unex-
ampled partisan denunciation, the right of pri-
yate Judgment when sitting under oath to pass
upon the guilt or innocence of one charged with
fighlcIimes and misdemeanors, so be i'll shall
be content i do not desire to purchase official
position at the price of icial perjury; nor will
i ever consent. at the behest OF any party, to
become an Cnthinking instrument TO condemn
any man."
