mjMti,irii Trw DALLAS.WATUJIDAY, MAY, 10. Culture Needed by Farmers. The question returns. May not the average tanner of to-day give more time to the cultivation of his mind and heart, and will it not pay? We all know how pressing are thctluties of the farmer, especially in the busy season, 'i'ho iiiotto seems to be. that "we must r:se up early, sit up late, and eat the bread of carefulness, in order to make our ends meet, at .the end of the year. Our bodies are jaded and fatigued; our minds partake of the same feeling; we hardly Cud time to read, and scarcely to write to a friend, and, when we meet a townsman and engage in conversation on earrcnt topics we led humiliated to find how stupid and ignorant we are. Jow, I claim that this state of things ought uot to be. if our business makes us slaves, dwarfing our minds, blunting our letter sensililitits, inca pacitating us fur the duties or gocjd and useful citizeus in the body politic aud iu the community generally, I am Dot disposed to blame our sons and daugh ters for choosing a different calling. If our business is a bondage to us, neces sarily, we are not tote blamed for seeking to change it or, abandoning it altogether. Agriculture is certainly an honorable calliug and it should receive the respect due to it, and its representatives should be able to advocate its claims and defend its interest?. There is no rea- 1 ! son in thenature of things why a far mer should be boorish any more than a merchant or mechanic. J here is no reason why the average farmer should not be as well informed on the current questions of the day, whether social political or otherwise as the average best specimens of humanity., farmers need culture and what I mean by culture is that cultivation of those better parts of us which will mark us gentleman and ladies in the true sense the term not the shoddy sort, but the true article. This culture comes from ii reading, from associating .with the pure and good, from the contemplation of high and noblo things, from travel, from communion with God as seen in his work' all around us.

Alu i wnl go lurther and say there is no reason why there should not be representative men in our own ranks who could fill, acceptably any civil oSicc in the gift of the people unless, it be those where special quali. fications are required. Perhaps our views of duty need cor recting. We owe it to ourselves, to cur posterity and to our country, o n.ake the chief industry of the world the moat honorable i;i the ryes of mankind, and, to this end, self deuial may have to bo exercised: It may be necessary to (forego some of the emoluments in order to bring into play the latent powers of the mind, for it is mind, or the exercise of the intellect, which moves the world. Kducate the farmers and you at once make them a power. And, by education I do not ncctfa rially niean that technically so called, which is acquired only in schools. Yhile I would not disparage in the )f.pst the best culture the schco!s can give, it will nol do to wait for a genera, tion of learned farmers to come on the stage. The education wo need and must htive to redeem our calling from reproach is that wMeh will give us more skill to adapt mean3 to the end sought. And this implies a tolerable knowledge of the soil;, how plants grow ; how to improve our grains and plants our stock, our farm imple. ment &c. &c. It implies also a knowl edge of supply and demand of our products, and so far as may be the principles of political economy the relations of capital and labor the rela tions of free trade or protection to the general industry of the country, aad go ' on. These things arc required to - make farming a profession of suc cess. Then as a class,, to have the influence in community our calling deserves, our business must be con ducted according to the rules of strict integrity. We must be truth ful in works as well as words no sham either in tillage or sales. And, besides, there is another item which adds uot a little to the farmer's standing and influence. Why is it that a countryman lean be picked out 'of the crowd in any of our large cities, and made the victims of pickpockets and blacklegs generally 7 Thcro is a certain green simplicity about him, an awkwardness in his moyemcnts that marks him a eon of the soil. Now a certain frankness and simplicity arc highly commendable, a,nd when these are joined to a proper culture of the mind and heart they mako aoue of tho Terrible Accident a Number of Persons Drowned iu Hock River. Dixon, 111. May 4, A terrible accident involving a fearful loss of life, occurred here this afternoon, while the rito of baptism was being administered to a number of recent converts to the IJaptist chuches here, at a point in Kock River just below the trestle iron bridge. About 200 persons, including many ladies and a number of childern had gathered on the bridge to witness the ceremony, when suddently tho bridge gave way and precipitated its living freight into tho stream below. The scene which ensued wa 8 indiscribably terrible, as Jhe struggling victims endeavored to free themselves from the ruins of the bridge, and "from each other. Large crowds on the banks rushed wildly to and fro, many cf them so distracted with terror as to be unable to render any assistance; others more self possessed, speedily brought ropes, planks and boats, and went nobly to work. Some of those who were on the bridge when it fell were so neai the ends that they were able to reach the bank with out assistance, while others were forturatly within reach of those on shore. Up to G V. M thirty-two bodies had been taken in It is almost certain that there are oth ers still under the wnek of the bridge Twenty fuur were rescued olive, but more or less injured ?orae fatal jy.. MnNK!HT -Up to this hour uo otl & bodies have been recovered at this point, but several are reported picked up at Sterling, six miles below and doubtless the swift current has borne others even further .. down the river. The general estimate of the number lost i3 from $0 to 100. It was atatc i in previous dispatches that thirty-two bodies were recovered before dark, and five other bodies floated don past tho.se engaged at the wreck, and have uot yet been recovered. There are supposed to be at least fifty bodies still unfound: most of them, it is thought, arc under the wreck of the bridt'O Breyman Bros. SALEM.
