Napoleon has lost more glory and popu-
larity by his peace than he has gained by
his splendid victories. A letter from Paris
represents the feeling of the people to be
one of profound disappointment and discon-
tent. Their hope, as the war went on, rose
higher and higher. The brilliant victories
which crowned every step of the French
army reused the sentiment of military glo-
ry, always strong in a Frenchman's breast,
to the highest point of enthusiasm The
great mass of the people, resOlute and jeal-
Gus always in their love of freedom, exuited
to see France again leading the van of lib
eralsm in Europe, and looked for nothing
less than the utter abasement of Austria,
and the supremacy of substantial democracy
in the Italian States. Louis Napoleon. for
the first time, began to be positively and
thoroughly popular at home, and this popu-
larity increased just in proportion to the
degree at which he was distrusted and feared
abroad.


The French people were prepared to see
the war carried on to the bitter end. They
were ready for all the chances, and all the
sacrifices which itmight involve. They did
not as a general thing, credit the danger of
its extension to all Europe, but thenifthathad
been certain, l think they would not have
shrank much from it, but would have pre-
ferred such result to the peace that has
been concluded. Their hopes have been
blasted, their faith in the Emperor's cold,
resolute determination to accomplish what
ever he undertakes, has been shaken. Their
hatred of Austria, and their thirst for her
disgrace. have not been gratifed, and they
feel that their sentiments and wishes, which
seemed to weigh so much at the outset, have
been in the final adjustment utterly disre-
garded- This is the feeling of the day, yet
it is not quite certain that public sentiment
would have been SO strong in support of the
war under all contingencies, if the war had
been actually continued.

IMMIGRATION ON THE INcREAsE.-Immigra-

the boats on their arrival, it is very obvious,
and is an encouraging sign. What we lost
by the Pixies Peak bubble, we seem to be
gaining again. The boats carry full loads,
even crowded, and hundreds get off below to
get back to the interior.


We notice fleet of "prairic schooners" in
our streets every day or two, and enquiry
shows US that they are intending to settle on
some of the rich lands back in the country
beyond us. The immigration of Swedes,
Germans and Norwegians is said to be very
large. They come by companies and colonies
of hundreds. They are just the class of set

A contest has been going on for years be-
tween the Roman Catholics of New York and
the people of other Christian denominations
generally, with respect to the reading of the
Bible in the schools of that city. The Roman
Catholics opposed the reading of it, and the
other sects were in favor of it. The contest
has been renewed from time to time, and u
short time since engrossed great deal of at
tention, and the trustees of ten out of the two
hundred and ten public schools in the city
prohibited its reading in them.


On Wednesday the 10Th, after considera-
BILE delay, the whole question came up in the
Board of Education. A Bylaw, reported at
previous meeting, making it obligatory on
all teachers, after the first of august next,
to open their schools by reading portion
of the Holy Scriptures, without note or COM
ment, was adopted by the very decided vote
of 25 to 16, only three members of the Board
being absent. The debate was prolonged and
animated, and there were several attempts
made to stave off action, all of which proved
unavailing.

TO ensure good return for the eggs you
place under a hen, adopt the following course,
and YOU will be satisfied Select as many
-four barrels as you wish to set hens, and 1t
is well to have several clutches come off at
the same time, place the barrels in a carriage
loft, around the sides, prepare the nests with
straw or hay, place board in front of each
barrel, and having made the loft entirely dark,
leave the hen to her duties for two or three
days. On visiting the premises to feed and
give water you open the shutters for light,
and commence by uncovering only one barrel
at time. and as soon as that hen has returned
to the barrel, pursue the same course with
the others In this way you have only one
hen off at time. The darkness facilitates
very much the progress of incubation, and
the hen can take her nest without disturbance
adopting this course, have known person

How TO RAISE EARLY ToMAToEs.-About
the first of April take few large turnips and
cut out the hearts of them, to form a sort of
cup. Fill the cavates with earth, and plant
two or three tomato seeds in each When
the seeds have well sprouted, pull up all but
the healthiest plant in each turnip, and let
those that remain stand where they will have
the benefit of the SUM- the plant will grow
very thrifty-the deeaying turnip furnishing
its food. When the weather becomes sufh-
ciently warm, set the turnips in well prepared
soil, not less than three feet apart, make lath
frames to keep the vines from the ground,
and keep the soil well up around them, and
you will have a crop that will astonish the
natives. The advantage consists in getting
the plants started early without setting them
back by transplanting. PiatSburgh Rep.

What is the cost and will it pay are, after
all the main questions in any enterprise, and
particularly is the case with the great mass of
cultivators of the soil. Moneyed men may
try every new thing in Agriculture. They can
bear any losses that befall them, and these will
not be few. It is well that there are those
who will undertake risky experiment, for in
this way improvements and new discoveries are
made But the majority of farmers are so sit
uated that they must look ahead, and learn be-
forehand, as nearly as possible, the result of
every operation. They must adopt no system
which has not been already proved to be prac-

When receive letter from my friend the
editor, l am able, by an intense application of
attention for few minutes, to make out its
general drift and meaning. The difficulty in
the way of grasping the entire sense does not
arise from any obscurity of style, but wholly
from the remarkable nature of the penmanship.
And after gaining the general bearing of the
document. I am well aware that there are many
recesses and hooks of meaning which will not
be reached but after repeated perusals. What
appeared at first a flourish may gradually as
sumo the form of an important clause of SEN
tence, materially modifying its force. What

anything whatever what at present looks

think sympathetically of the worthy father of

A motion that Hon. Henry S. Lane, of In
diana, address the convention, was received
with loud applause,


Mr.. Lane took the stand and made west
ern speech-that is, a speech full of fun, elo-
quence, and power. He said that any member
of the Democracy present need not fear person
opprobrium from him, but he would at the
same time heartily denounce this God-accurs-
ed administration. On his journey from Indi-
ana to Columbus, he had seen living witnesses
against slavery and for freedom-indeed our
whole State was an epic inspired by the spirit
of liberty.


Mr. Lane then rapidly sketched the history
and position of the Republican and Democratic
parties on the slavery question and paid his
respects to Senator Pugh, whose official place,
he hoped, would soon know him no more forev-
er. He trusted that Mr. Pugh would soon be
consigned to that obscurity, which he was so
well qualified to adorn. He then glanced at
the state of the free north and slave south,
refuted the old fiction of the immutability of
the Democratic party, and exposed the extrav-
agance and recklessness of the present admin
istration.


The speech abounded in telling points, which
were greeted with the usual tonant applause
Mr.. Lane tells story capitally, and told three
of the best Sort by way of illustration; but to
reproduce them without his manner would be
to do him injustice of which not even report
er is capable.
