What wonder i it, then, that in ngriciil

from, aro many of them entirely useless lieri!
Thai rules once familiar and fixed, from long
ciperieuce, may hero work by cotitrarics,
, tad that agents may produce results such as
may disappoint us, in endeavoring to prac-
tice upon what our books and our fathers
taught us before wo came hero I l'Votu our
own experience of seven years on a farm in
6regoti, wo learned that such is tho fact.
Tho experiments of every succeeding year,
' bac added now evidence to tho value of
our as an agricultural country. ,
from what we saw of the fruits of the
labors of our husbaudinen in 1848, wo were
lerf very much to underrate tho capabilities
of 'tho s"il. Perhaps no country iu the
world ha been more slovenly farmed at
Ul&P ours. We have very few farmers who
woald bo called at tho easi any thing better
th$ tho most shiftless slovens. We have
a few furmorn, however, like our correspon-
dli Mr. Watson, who takea pride iu doing
veil what they undertake,' and wo are glad
toioc that every year marks a sensible im
provement among the majority. We can
otjr establish ft correct theory for our own
latitude and longituno, by a succession oi
pilent,' cartful experiments.
'Let our farmers mako experiments in nil
manner of ways, upon all sorts of pro'luc
. tiom, and Ihen publish the resultof thfir
labors for tho benefit of tlioso who aro in
terested. Of ouo thing, however, wo pre-
' . angle there is nothing necessary to be said
as wa supposo that every farmer among us
knows by this time that there is no country
in the world, where greater advantages' are
' to bo derived from deep plowing than in
c this, which is so remarkably dry in summer.
If y ou have learn enough put your plow in

For want of money which thoso of our
subscribers who can pay just as well as not,
could relievo by handing in their subsciip-
tions to our ogents, if not convenient to scud
them to us. We tiuto dreadfully to dun
anybody, nud we would almost as soon be

after a while from the force of habit it will

When was the Law F.nactedl
We see, by tho Now Oilcans Vis a- Vis,
that in tho case of tho State of Louisiana
versus Hunter, in which defendant was
charged with selling a slave, and separating
a mother from her children contrary to the
statute iu such cases made nnd provided,
tho accused having plead guilty, was sen
tenced by Judge Robertson, to a fine of one
thousand dollars, six months imprisonment,
nnd a forfeit of tho slave.

At the Into commencement of Franklin
College, Indiana, tho Degreo of D. D. was
conferred upon Rev. Geo. C. Chandler, of
this Territory, formerly President of thnt
institu'ion. '
jrAn editor out in tho western part of
Missouri, iu speaking of the future prospects
of his paper, congratulates himself that the
"dcrned thing" has lived through tho period
of another six month, but announces thnt
ho is compelled to suspend publication for
a few weeks in order to make a trip to St
Louis, with a flat boat load of bear skins,
splint brooms, ho"p poles, sour c.rout, and
pickled catfish, which he has taken in, in
payment for subscription. Ho says that he
shall start again as soon as ho can cash his
"plunder."
Don't be Disappointed
If for the uext week or two you get but little ed
itorial in our paper. As we are out of every thing
to eat, nnd have no money to buy with, and as the
teamfwe had engogfd to bring in provision! have
disappointed us, we shall be compelled to visit "our
claim," yoke up tho "durhams" and bring down a
load or two of plunder oureclf. After we replenish
our larder, we will open the fire again, and give
you the best wo have, whether we ever get any
pay for it or not.
An ed'.lor ought to make his btird for hn servi
ces, at least, but we find that muny of the poor
fellows (if they keep out of debt) find themselves
"getting along" a good deal oftor the fashion of a
friend of ours, who happened to be living where
Uiey had but very little to eat. I'poil being asked
here he boarded, he replied that he "didn't board
anywhere, but that he thingled at Mr. B V
iew, Jiews.
Everybody nowadays seems to be on the tiptoe
of anxiety for news. . The news market, like the
mouey market, is dreadfully tight of late j thus yoa
will see that we aro sorely put to, both fo get out
an interesting paper, and to pny our debts. We
shall have to go to making bogus money beforo
long we fear, and we may have to send for iVig-
gins to manufacture bogus news.
