The New York Standard thinks that, ''fron
present appearances, the only hope for the res
toration of repose to society in France, lies il
the chances of the restoration OF the Emperor. u
1t may, in the changes of the times, happen
that Louis Napoleon will again ascend the
throne, but it appears probable, if 80, his path
to it would be a difficult and dangerous one, and
his retention of it very uncertain. But no one
can make any reasonable calculation as to the
course Of events. France has passed through
so many revolutions, that CHANGE seems to be
chronic disease. and Il normal condition.

FARMING. An excellent article is published
in the Petersburg Index, advising the YOUNG
MEN of Virginia to devote their time, attention,
industry and enterprise to the cultivation Of
the soil and the BUSINESS OF FARMING-the
safest surest take it altogether, in the world,
and the most independent, healthy, and agree
able occupation that can be pursued. 1t has
its troubles and difficulties like all other pur-
suitsand very few farmers grow rich suddenly,
or very quickly, or easily. But nine young far
mers get along comfortably and makea living
and something besides, where one does
either as 4 merchant or professional man. The
chances of ultimate success, are largely IN favor
of the farmer, if he is persevering and skilltuL
Especially at this time, are the young men
needed in Virginia at the head Of Agricultural
affairs. They have the energy, the zeal, and
the will to strive and to work. 1t does not
require great intellect, or great learning, or
great genius, to be Il good farmer-genius and
learning and superior mental abilities are alot-
ted to but few So that the average OF men
are competent to reach the highest excellence
in Agricultural pursuits. These suggestions
will serve perhaps to arrest the attention and
secure the serious reflection Of the Young Men
of Eirginil-and induce them to choose that
occupation which promises so much for them
SO much, because comfort, happiness and sup
port are what all young men should strive At
first to obtain-aftcr that all the other good
gifts that Providence is kind enough to bestow.
And we will add to what We have said this
that no other quarter Of Virginia offers great
erinducements to young men who intend to c,ll-
tivate the soil, than the counties Immediately
contiguous to Alexandria, The lands are good,
susceptible Of the highest degree Of improve
ment they are adjacent to excellent markets
and the transportation of products to market
is easy and rapid Looking over the whole
State, where will you find tnrms of the same
quality and advantages selling at lower rate :?

it is on account of our desire for peace, and our
wish to end these political movements against
the South, that We desire the defeat Of the
