THE SOUTHERN PLANTER for March Is
promptly issued. It has caught up with the
time, and, from having been formerly
slightly bchind.hand, it is now sharply up
with the day and clear of all complaint.
The Planter, we are justified in saying, is
more active and useful than ever. 1t devotes
itself more practically and directly to the
interests and the economy of agriculture
than ever, and this is most fortunate, since
the present is the most trying period we
have ever known TO the agricultural class. If
the Planter eau do good now it is more than
doubly useful. We applaud it most heartily
for its cxertions, and trust that it may find
that support amongst the agricultursts it so
richly merits.
The present No. has some valuable pa.
psrs, and we are gratlicd TO see that the
editor deve,cs himself earnestly to the SUBJ
ject of improving and Strengthening the
State Agricultural Society. It's receipts have
latterly fallen off, and we all know how
diminution Of funds disables the energies
that depend upon them. The suggestions
of the Planter have good deal of wisdom
in them. They are not all judicious, we
should say but then they should be con.
sidered and discussed. The farmers should
together unite upon the best plan for reviv.
ing and strengthening the Society. 1t is
the preserver of the agricultural interests,
and deserves the ardent support of all agri.
culturists.

We must cling to our contemporary of the
Whig with unfatering tenacity. We are
both Fcderalists until g. the South gets even
with the North in appropriations from the
Federal Treasury. Our Federalism is simi-

is Il simple matter OF appropriation" The
Wing wants none that 1t deems improper,
neither do we. Nay, we rather think we
would-do anything short Of dyeing first,
and that we are sure the Fhi9 would do.
But let us consider what is &C strict con-
struction" to these times? Are we not
Federal Government is bound to respecty
What is it? If none, what are we fussing
about? If we cannot prevent the Federal
Government from setting aside our personal
rights-from treating with contempt the au-
thorty of the States-pray, where would be
the wisdom and propriety of Directing to an
appropriation BY the Federal Government
for the improvement Of the country and in
creasing the power and prosperity of our
own people!

The City Comm1ttee-What Next?

Editors Of the Dispatch:
Although the writer has no disposition to
censure the City Conservative Committee
for their conduct In the past, yet, in view of
the unhappy discussions which have divided
the party during their administration, the
determination to abdicate in favor of q
change in the personnel of that committee
seems wise and patriotic. Itnow behooYes
us to consider how we may best profit by
their action to correct the abuses that have
crept into the Conservative party since the
installation of its triumphant and benignant
ruiz. There has been a general outcry. and
disgust excited among the good people
OF this city, because I. is charged that the

man who is no little partisan of any little

We take occasion here to say that THOMAS

tipued 10 81. Louis; for with just provisions
to protect all connections and facilitate
transportation in all directions we would
have no fear that fairness would not be done
and that the rights of commerce would not
triumph. But the St. Louis line is not the
trunk line. 1t stands upon the same footing
with the other branches. There is no
more sense and reason in the hue

Anecdotes.

During the late civil war in this country
the speech OF the captain of the Home Guard
to his men was quite extensively reported.
That redoubtsble officer was said to have
exhorted his gallant followers to a faithful
and brave defence Of their "atars and their
fres," winding up his glowing appeal
thus: "Never, my ga liant followers, leay G
your homes save in case of invasion"
This heroic appeal was thought to have
been original in this country. Much to our
surprise we found il, few days since, in
TON MooRE's "reminiscences. He states that
8 captain of yeomanry in England addressed
bis command in strong language, epjoiniDg
them in ono event to quit The country"
The celebrated Pitt, who was spectator Of
the scene, interpolsted just at this critical
point in the address, " Never excep! in case
OF actual invasiop!" So we see that the "late
unpleasantness did not originate this ex-
ccllent bit Of humor
We cannot resist the inclination to copy
few other good things which day of coz
'valescent reading brought to our eyes.
This Is another OF PITT's bon-mots: He
added to Sir w. CUsrIs's toast " A speedy
peace and soon," the words "soon as posi-.
ble.'
Sir w. CUsrIs's conundrum -" Why is a
towel like serpent? Because lisa aoiper."
Story Of Lord W, saying in one of bis
speeches: ~ ask myself SO and So" " Yes"
says Lord ELLEsBoRoUaH, "and damned
foolish answer you'll get"

baying "gentIe horse" replied, He is q

The University Of Virginia and Its
Episcopal Board of Managers

episcopal Board of Managers"
Editors Of the Dispatch:
Industrious efforts in certain quarters
have been recently made to prove that the
University of Virginia is controlled in the
interest Of the Episcopal Church; in other
words, to ALLEVIATE from it the support of all
not in sympathy With that Church. In this
connection the Richmond Christian Aduo-
cate, the organ of Virginia Methodsm, has
been prominent. Two only, however, of
it's late allegations is it the purpose OF this
paragraph to notice. 1t speaks Of the pres
ent Board Of Visitors as "the Episcopal
Board of Managers" which can, Of course,
mean nothing but that majority are Of the
Episcopal Church. This is not the case. Two
out of the nine gentlemen composing the
Board. are members Of that Church, and q
majority are in no way identified with it.
Again: The same paper criticises the
Visitors who in 1859, as it alleges, "drove
out" of the Faculty the late Gessner Harri.
SOD, Methodist, and Notwithstanding their
appointment of Baptist successor) by i'm.
picatien, at least, accounts for it by their
being "Board Of Epscopalians." AS to
the circumstances attending the acceptance
of DR.. Harrison's resignation it is needless
here to speak, but the assertion that the
Board then was "Episcopal" is strangely
inaccurate. 1t comprised Thomas Jefferson
Randolph, Muscoe K. II. Garrett, William
T. Joynes, William j. Robertson, John r.
Edmunds, John B. Baldwin, John r. Tucker,
James L. Carr, and James Neeson, of whom
one only belonged to the Episcopal Church.

leave Scott out 10 the cold, while young
Huntington should throw the coils Of q

Meantime Scot,'s old uncle began to re.
cover from the shock that cut off bis early
hopes. The controversy had disclosed the
most magnificent ferry scheme the country
bad ever seen, and he came at last to the aid
of bis laborious young relative, furnished

Fi,,ney the Revivalist.

Of Finncy, the revivalist, some quite
odd stories arc told. On one occasion. as
he was passing along the line of the Eric
canal, he heard boatman swearing in a
horrible manner. Accosting him, he said,
MY man, do you know where you are
going :" eyes, responded the navigator,
in all simplicity, "l'm going on the
Johnny Sands, to Rochester," Swift and
stern came the rcjoiner. "No, you're
going straight to hell" At this attack the
honest boatman's wrath rose. "And
where are you going?" "To heaven I
trust," was the devout reply. "No
you're not. You're going straight into the
canal.'' Then the captain of the Johnny
Sands suited his action to his words and
at once immersed the preacher in the
waters of the great artificial river. In
all probability the enraged navigator
never learned tho name of the christian
gentlemen with whom he had the contro-
versy, but on another occasion the
latter encountered man who had heard
him preach and knew his face. The man
was working in an iron foundry where
heat was intense, and CHANGED to break
forth into stream of profanity Is the
preacher passe by. Pausing, and look.
ing into the door the passer.by said :
"Young man, how hot do you suppose
hell is !" The profanc wretch deliberate.
ly places his arms akimbo, and looking
his questioner full in the face, replied
"Wcll Mr.. Finney, suppose its so hot
there that if somebody brought you 4
spoonful ofmelted iron you'd swear it was
ice.crcam." Silence cnucd. There was
nothing more to be saids.

Foreign Grais, Trade.

A London telegram of the Sd, says the
grain trade remains inactive, short sup.
plies being balanced by the poor condition,
Of the samples and "a dragging business.
Yesterdays markets were slow for all ar
ticles. Wheat and barley about main.
tanned their prices, but oats and maize
were rather lower than the rates current
at the opening of the week. Deliveries
Of home grown wheat during the past
month have been about 20 per cent under
the average for the past ten years. There
are now on passage to Great Britain about
q million quarters of wheat. At the be.
ginning Of March the quantity was rather
over one million four hundred thousand
quarters. Tho Paris market during the
week has been firm for wheat and -four.
In Mark Lane to-day fine wheat was
steady at previous prices. There exists
some slight demand for secondary sorts
at old rates. Generally. however, tie
trade is poor. Flour is unchanged from
Monday. New sorts are neglected, espec.
tally foreign, Of which large quantity
vas offered.
