to be seen. 'Phe tpiestion, whether it will
not make a material change in the value

discussed. One Very annoying evil is al
ready attributed to the intlnx ol gold, \iz;
the scarcity of silver. (Jold has beetmic

As we anticipated, we have the ]ileasure
of ann.'um ing .^Ir. Avery’s nrqnittnl. His
trial eommeneed on Frilay, and termina
ted about 1 o'cl.tt k on Satur l.iy. John
Wo“ltin. K»|., of A.sheville, conducted
the prosecution on the part of the State,
and did his duty, we learn, in a manner
which reflects much credit ujm)u him—
presenting the case in its legal bearing
with boldness and ability, and eloping his
eves to all extraneous influences. Mr.
key, r. S. (’ousul at Liverptxil, very pro
perly says,—
Certain it is, that any j>h dges, by whom
soever pven, to Europe, of intervention ty
the l.nited Stat“s in the schemes of lievo-
lutionary leaders or adventurers in any
country on the other side of the water, are
without warrant in any action or indica-
or any counte-
uanee in th“ sober sentiment of any con
siderable part of the American }>eopl(;.
So far from the invitation to the I'nited
States, ext“nded to I\o>5uth and hi.s coni-
{tanions by this (jrovernnu'iit, being siis-
ceptilde of an interpn'tation which would
place it in the light of an engagement to
take sides with any pnrty in any civil war
or commotion in any country in Euro]>e, it
may be eontidenlly assertetl that nothing
was further from the thought of (’ougress,
in pa.-ising it, tKan to embark this country
in any such (Quixotic enterprise.
Let the act of ('ongri“.s.> .^^peak for itself.
That it may do so, we hereto annex a copy

.>iays. It spe;iks no other lattiruai;**, the
for it. Notwithstanding the sonaowhat ex
citing character of the contest, as the tcde-
graph made it apj)oar a few weeks since,
we do not hear of a single volunteer going
fn>m this part of the country. Not even
a “sympathy” meeting has been held in
the Park; nay, most wonderful of all, Car-
vajal’s name was never lisped even in
Tammany Hall, in any of the excited
meetings that were held there for bunkum,
jurt before the late election. The orators
on tho.se wcasions though, we remember
now, were so taken up with the Cuban
affair, and so busy with “European inter-
vi'ntitui” and a “Republican crusade a-
gainst the Continental despots,” (/>/fA,'Mr.

about Captain Carvajal and his crew.

It is from an article by Grant Thorburn,

nor increases the wealth of the ftwner.
)ue animal widl fetl is of more value
than two poorly kept.
The better animals ean be fed and the
more comfortable they can be kept, the
more profitable tln'y are—and all farmers
work for profit.
(Iround (nice well ploughed is better
than thrice jioorly.
Ronntiful crops are more pr»fitable than
poor ones, .^^ake the soil rich, j>nlvcrize
it well, and keep it clean, and it will gen
erally be productive. Weeds that grow
unmolested around the fences, stumps and
stoiu'S, scatter their s('ed over the farm,
and are very likely to grow.
Cows well fed in winter give more milk
in snniinor. An ox that is in gof>d condi
tion in th > spring will jtt'rform more labor
and .stand the heat of summer much better
than one that is poor.
