Mr.. Mckinley has shown him self Il good general in the way in which he has marshaled and controlled his forces during the exciting House debate.

- We lay before our readers in this issud the statement Of eleven men,, who have been imported from Oregon for the pur: pose Of voting In this territory for Mr.. Gar6e!de. Connected with this transacI tion is. W. R. Beach of Portland, and j. A. Perkins, of Walla Wslla, who was d few days since in this town. other promi-, rient men in this place and Pierce county are connected with these yillainous trans actions, as we will show before The elec- tion is over. A portion of the men who have subscribed and made affidavit to these statements are now in the town of Olym:, pia, and any ono doubling these statements can appeal to the men themselves. This is only small portion of the rascality and villainy connected with the effort to carry this election by the Garfeldc faction. We propose from time to time to show this. matter up in its true light ). that promi- nent men are connected with the effort TO perpetrate great fraud on the ballot box in this territory cannot be successfully del MED. 1t is folly TO say that Hill Harmon,y l.. P. Beach. j. a. Perkins, of Walla Walla and others did not know the puri pose for which these men came into the territory; the men are here and can speak for themselves on this point. We ask in all candor and sincerity, has it. come to this, that in order to carry an elcc- tion votes must be imported from Oregon! men who have been, democrats all their lives. for the purpose of voting for Selucius Garfelde, and thereby pcrpetrates fraud upon the ballot box, an outrage upon de< cency. and trample under foot the social rights Of free people. We appeal to the masses of the republican party of this ter ritory; men who have no other purpose to serve, other than an honest adherence to principle. to rebuke at the polls, in June next. this attempt on the part of the lead ers of the Garfelde faction,. to bring into disrepute the republican party, by connect ing with it this villainous outrage upon tho ballot box.

The Highland .Ne,cs, commenting upon the report of the Ohio Board of Agriculture, says "There is nothing wanting to make it worthy of all praise, except the failure upon the part of the writer to explain the nature Of the difficulty under which the farmers OF Ohio laboring. We conceive he would have added to the usefulness Of his report if he had set forth and demonstrated that, unless there is way provided for the con- sumption of the greater part Of the agricultural products of the State within its borders, State county fairs will be of little service but to the multitude lie could easily have proved that any State which annually exports millions of BUSH els OF wheat and corn, millions Of hogs, and thou sands Of horses and cattle and relies upon other States or countries for its clothing, iron, imple and utensils of all sorts, must in the end be- come impoverished. ''Its exports will consist of articles containing considerable per ccntage Of mineral elements, drawn from a soil having but limited supply OF them, if it is of the very best quality while its imports will be deficient in them nearly alto gether and it must follow that in process of time the soil will be completely deprived of these ele- nents, and no longer fit to afford nourishment to plants Vast tracts Of country in the southern and eastern statcs exhibit this fact In moet striking manner. Large portions of Virginia and Mary land have been exhausted by the expectation OF successive crops Of tobacco and wheat, which have annually drawn elements from the soil which were not replaced by the husbandman, because he had them not. Extensive districts in South Caro- lima and the older cotton growing States havebcen rendered hopecssly sterile by the annual cxporta- ton of their staples. Even the great State Of New York is beginning to suffer the fate, for 1t appears that counties which averaged thirty and thirty five bushels OF wheat to the about the time Of the revolutionary war, now can scarcely average sev

That Agriculture is daily increasing in importance and becoming hourly more science ;-naaking rapid progress in the great art Of increased productions with di- minished labor, and rising in respec,ability as q vocation, in the opinions of mankind generally, are facts not to be denied.

LEARN TO MILK EARLY-The art of milking we'll is no, taught in hurry. 1t requires long practice to milk properly, and therefore all the young people on farm should be shown how the labor should be done. II is quite important that this branch of darying should be particularly attended to, for good milker obtains at least GUAR ter more from the same COW, than a poor mixer. The first lesson to be taught young peo- pie is kindness and gen,leness 10 the cows They never need be treated harshly, in case tbe business is properly commenced. Cows that are caressed and uniformly we'll treated, are fond of having the milk drawn from the udder at the regular time of milking, for it gives them relief from the distention of the mild ducts. Let young people be put to milking the farrow cows first, as such are to be soon dried, and the loss from bad milking will be less injurious. The hand should extend to the extremity of the teals, for the milk is then drawn easier. Young people should be taught to milk as fast as possible. More milk is always obtained by a rapid mixer than slow one. They should be ,augh. to think Of nothing else while milking, and no conversation must be permitted in the milk yard. They should sit close up TO the COW, and press the left arm gently agains, her shank. Then if she raises her foot, as she sometimes will merely to change position, she will not be so likely to put it in the milk pail. In case of a disposition to kick, or rather 10 raise her foot on account Of pain, occa- stoned by soreness of the tea,s, the nearer the mixer sits 10 her and the harder he presses his left arm against her leg the less risk will be run of being injured Cows may be taught 10 give down their milk at once-and they may be taught to hold it long while, and to be stripped in definitely. The best way is to milk, and not use the COW 10 a long stripping or an after stripping.-JNass. Ploughman. GET THE BEST IMPLEMENrs.-There il a species of mongrel economy prac,ised by some farmere,

You see we need them to take care of the live cattle which the company represent are shipping to England.

The EFFECT OF HIGH TARIFF.-The tariff on hides, leather, boots and shoes yield to the government under the present tariff about 50, 100000, but increase the cost of boots aud shoes for the people to extent of SIS, 1000 per annum, as has been proven by Commissioner Wells re- port. On pig iron the government re- ccives but 81 100000 in the way of duties, while the cost of pig iron is increased to the people $l2,O00:000 per annum. And on such an article as castor oil the government receives revenue ofS27 900, and but for the duty importers would fur nish it for 81 20 Currency per gallon, but under the protection of this tariff the the home manufacturers are enabled to monopolize the market and compel the the consumers of 200, 900 gallons Of this oil per anuum, to pay 50 50 per gallon for it, which is an extortion of $500, 900 per annum for the benefit Of the manufactur- ers of the domestic product. The whole income from duties is near $810. 10000 900 per annum, and it is safe to say that, tax ing this protection afforded by this tariff, the domestic manufacturers increase the price of their product over Sl,000,00O,- 900.

HELPLESS CoNDrrIoN OF LOLA MONTH"; A letter from New York thus speaks Of a celebrated female Lola Montez is stopping at Astoria, with kind friend, but alas ! in what condition of body mind She is not exactly an i'm becilo, and yet what term will more clearly express her mental helplessness? Physi- caly she is an invalid of a melancholy de- scriptiou. A female friend Of mine saw her day or two ago, and it was enough to make ones heart bleed to note her picturesque Innings of the wonderfully changed woman: Lola was costumed in half night and half morning robe, and she sat in pretty gard en-. her hollow checks, sunken eyes, and ca daverous complexion forming remarkable contrast to the gay flowers. She was una BILE to utter anintelligible word, except spas medically, and after repeated efforts. Her mouth was frothing like that OF one ia par tial commissions, and she was unconsciously wiping it as little boys do, by drawing it a. cross the sleeve of her dress. In fact, she had the strange. wild appearance and beha- vor OF quiet idiot, and is evidently lost to all farther interest in the world around her, and it's affairs. And so ENDS her eventful history What study for the brilliant and thoughtless! What sermon on human vanity.
