All t?nperienoe has proved that it is the nation
which combines agriculture, uianul’actiirca and
eoniinerce, in which diversified arts and varied
knowiedj^c are diti’used, which tostcrs every kind
of productive skill, it is that nation alone which
can becoiue prosperous, poworhil and groat.
We do not underrate the importance ot‘ .that
grand agricultural interest which is the einj)loy-
nient ol nine-tentl.s of the American population.
We rej^ee to observe in the active preparations
for national, State and county lairs next fall, evi
dences ol steady and increasing appreciation of
agriculturo. We would contend for State aid t»)
it in whatever is beyond the reach of the [wople.
Popular governments ought to be at least as libe
ral in this rcspect a.s nionarohies. llussia, Sweden,
and Austria were scarcely known among civilized
nations until the power of their governments was
brought In aid of individual industry, agricultu
ral colleges established, and agriculture made an
affair of State* policy. The industry and finances
of France were in a wi'etehed condition until
Henry IV and Sully applied the funds ot tlie gov
ernment to stimulate agriculture, and tlie result
was national opulence. The agricultural societies
of England have been liberally endowed b\ her
government, and an analysis of all the soils and
the best modes of improving them have been made
at her expen.se. There may not exi.st the same
necessity for the ini})rovement of agriculture in
America as in Europe, but the time must come
when the rich valley of the West will be crowded
with the millions which the Old World is casting
upon our shores, and when a short crop, here as
there, may produce incalculable suffering. Not
only the Government, but individual proprietors,
should put forth their best energies to elevate and
strengthen this important interest. Let them en-
conrage themselves by contemplating the achieve-
menfs of agriculture in other lands. Italy, by
careful cultivation, sustains one person to every
two acres. The owner of twenty acres in that j
country considers himself a rich man. A disfin- ■
guished General of Rome once refused from the j
people a grant of fift}’ acres, declaring that he i
was a bad citizen who could not be content with
seven. The farm of Oineinnatus was but four |
acres. The words of the widow of Ilelvetius to i
Xapoleon are worthy of being considered by our *
large farmers—“You cannot conceive how much j
happiness can be found on three acres of land.” .
Southern agrieulturist5 in general might find it |
profitiible to reverse a rule on which they have j
always acted, and to bestow a large amount of i
labor on a small amount ot land. In England ,
agriculture has been carried to such a pitch of ■
perfection, that, notwithstanding.an amount e|ual i
to one-halt the market value of all her agricultu- .
ral productions gc»es to the support of Govern
ment, agriculture ni»t only sustains itself, but ,
dourishes The superior husbandry of England .
has made the average product of wheat alone i
twenty-four bushels to the acre, and in portions I
ot England and Scotland the average is fifty j
bushels.
And yet, notwithtanding the value of this inter- j
est, the world furnishes no example, from the i
foundation of the first empires in the valleys ot the '
Euphrates and the N ile to the present dav, of a |
mere commonwealth of agriculturi.sts becominsr
great and powerful. A purely agricultural State
may feed its owu inhabitants, but it will remain |
stationary, like the dwellers of thtiinland plains of ^
Asia and Africa: and make no progress in power 1
and intelligence. It must combine with itis agri- i
culture cumm^rcf,—which the South so niuth |
needs,—commerce, frojn the iack of which the i
South loses such a vast proporliun of the profits ol
those staples which are causing New York and !
Liverpool to rival the glories of ancient Tyre; com- |
merce, which has been the vivifying spirit of al- j
most every great nation of the world, from Egypt i
down to the United States. Egypt, Carthage, ,
\ enice, Sj»ain, Holland, became wealthy and -
powerful by active eotumerce, and the.greatest !
nations of the world now are the principal com
mercial nations, such aj» Great Britain, the I'nited I
States and France. A striking illu.stration of the ;
difference between a commercial and a non-com- |
mercial people has been observed in the position
occupied by the United States, Great Britain and ^
France in their efforts to accomplish that great
desideratum of commerce—a ship canal from the I
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. These three nations
are the representatives of the commercial spirit
of the world, and hence they have manifested the
most profound interest in the construction of such
a work, while the rest of the world look at it with
passive indifference. Nicaragua—which is not a
commercial State—never dreams of constructin?
this canal, though she might thereby command
the whole trade between China, the East Indies,
the eastern coast of Africa and the western coast
of America on the one band, and Europe and j
the I nited States on the other. i
It was the commercial power of Carthage which !
enabled her to maintain, her independence for i
more than a thousand years against Koine. This
commercial spirit was co-existent with a stroni:
and enlightened love of agriculture which con
verted the country into a garden. Commerce,
however, was her chief pursuit, and the Atlantic
Ocean to the Cape of Good Hope, the countries of
the lialtic, and the coasts of France and England,
witnessed the hardy and daring enterprise of her
mariners. If Carthage, like the United States,
had drawn her armies from her own people, in
stead ot relying upon foreign mercenaries, it may
well be doubted whether that powerful country
would ever have yielded to the military greatne.ss
of Rome.
We shall shortly behold in the waters of the
Chesapeake that magnificent ship which, in its
gigantic proportions, is a fitting representative of
Lnghsli commerce, and in its still more wondrous
structure, of English mechanical skill. What but
Lngiish commerce could have suggested the idea
of such a vessel, and where but in Ens-land could
the manufacturing power have been found for such
an undertaking.' Let the South, instead of pass
ing empty resolutioii.% diversify her industry anl
develop and build up commerce and manufactures.
hat mechanical enterprise has accomplished in
f degree for lioston, New York,
hiladelphia, it will achieve for Southern cities.
If we would see what can be effected by the di
versification of labor, we have only to look at
England, which, under the combined influences
of agriculture, commerce and luanufactures, has
become tl»e wealthiest and strongest empire that
Iii6 world has ever seen The soil ot that little
«peck on the ocean, only t^o hundred leagues
long, yields annually to the labor of its cultivators
alone seven hundred millions of dollars. Its com
merce employs forty thousand vessels, and lias
made the whole world tributary to its greatness.
It has built up Liverpool, with its endless docks
and ijuays, increa.sing it from a village of four
thousand inhabitants in the tiine of Charles the
Second to a city of about halt a million, which
repeatedly receives in one year in her custom
house a sum more than thrice as great as the
whole income of the English Crown in 1685.
And, as to the manufactures, which, by her com
mercial outlets, are poured forth over the whole
world, she exports in a single year more than
£28,000,000 worth of cotton goods—an amount
for a single article greater than the whole export of
French manufactures for everything put together!
It is the combined influence ot agriculture,”nanu-
facture^and commerce, which have made Eng
land the chief moving power of the earth,—in the
language of Ledru Rollin; “the st)VereigR people
ot crcdit, circulation, and commerce.”
Let the South, which furnishes to England the
chief staples for her commerce and manufactures,
imitate her example it she would become y;reat
and impregnable; let her encourage commerce,
and no longer array herself againBt that national
encouragement to American industry which is as
important to her own interests as to those of Great
Britain, and without which we can never compete
in anv branch «it manufacturing enterprise with
the enormous capital, chea}) labor and practiced
skill of that }wwerful nation.

/lull. John Bell.—The course which many of
the parti'/au pa|H>rs are pursuing towards that
einiuent citizen, John Jtell, of Tennessee, deserves
the severest censure. Mr. Bell throughout his
whole political course has exhibit the highest pa
triotism, integrity, and devotion to the Union.
The peace of the country and the preservation of
the ritrhts of the States and ot every section, have
been hi.s ^eat aim. To tjuell aj^itation, to
diseourag^e sectionalism on the one hand and
lanaticisin on the other, may havw led him at
times to make concessions which he would not
have done under other circumstances; but throuuh-
out, he hats maintained his consistency to the
j^reat principle ol' conservatism, which has been
his uuidin*: star. A review of his entire course
will challentce the appmval and admiration of
every intelligent, cool, conservative man in the
country.
Take him all in all, we do not compromise
our impartiality, when we say, no man is, in
our judgment, more eniinently tiiialitied at this
crisis, to manage the ati’airs of this great nation
and bring the ship of Sta£e out of the rocks and
cjuicksauds which lie in her way, to safe harbor,
tl'.an John liell, ot 'I’ennessee. It is becoming
ijuite evident that tlie voice ol the nation calls
for a change of ofliccrs to manage the ship. 1 he
very distractions of the democratic party most
clearly indicate this.
We honestly bt lieve, therefore, laying aside all
party feeling, and looking solely to the good of the
country and the preservation of the Con.stitution
and the I'nion, that John Hell, could he rally
to his support the united conservatism of the
country, is the best fitted man now before the peo
ple, in experience, wise forec:iste, integrity of pur
pose, C(X)1 courage and di.scretion,to officer and man
the ship of State at this juncture.— HujjA. Dis.
.1 Tfrrihle (im/ Jar.t Rt^bukf'.— If James B.
Clay has a soul at all—which we very much
doubt—it must have grown iey cold within him,
when he re id the following p;iragraph in a late
number ot the Louisville Journal:
‘•The Jjouisville Courier undertakes to tell us
about -Mr. James IJ. Clay’s speech at Bardstown
la.st Monday. It says that he “touched upon the
abolition record ol Mr. Kverett.” If Mr. J. B.
Clay is not old enough to know, from his own re
collection, he ought certainly to know from the
testimony of others, that his father, his innuortal
father, was never a candidate for the IVesidency,
without being constantly and remorsele.s»ly de-
nounced by the whole of the Democratic leaders
and by the whole Democratic rank and file as an
abolitituii.st. a thorough and life-long abtiliti»nist.
The recreant s»n ought certainly to know, th;it
the leaders and the ma.sses of the party, with
wliich he is now actiiii;, always relied uf>on this
infatnous charge, not less than u^K>n the charge of
b.-irgain and corruption, to work his illustrious
father’s destruction. And. knowing this, he
should be especially careful how he hurls *uch a
charge at others, and niost es|K-cially how he hurls
it at a man who stow! by Henry Clay in every
struggle, for nearly a quarter ot a century, anu
until the illustrious statestnan's death; a man who
gave the whole of his great jM>wer ami infiuence
in favor of t’nc establishment of lienry Clay’s
'ompromi.se of Is.’jO, ;tud has never \ioiat(Hj it by
act or word; a man, whom Henry Clay, standing
in the SentUe of the I’nited ,'^tates, nobly and
•vliK^uently defendeil as a true and lof^y patriot,
closing his defence with the .solemn declaration,
that, if such a sUtt( sm:iu should be rejected by
the Senate as an abolitionist, the Cnion might
well be consiilt-red as .ilrtady tiivsolved; :i luuti, in
short, whom .John C Breckinridge, the ile^ener-
ate I'lay’s candidate for the I'residencv, h:w with
in tie Ix't few months held joiblicly up to his fel
low-countrymen :is ouf nt thf l.t )if' (I pure
Aul hii/h (tnd jiatri"tic stiiti stnru, Itriiii/ in lh>

of .\shland brc:;thes the charge of alx>litioni.-m, or
the slightest insinmition of such a charge atrainst
Kdward Kverett, should blast and paralyze the
accurs*d touijuc in his foul moutli.”
Home." At a grand outpouring of
the friends ot the Constitution and the I’nion, at
Koxhury, Ma.ss., last week,«iivj. S. Hilliard Ksq.,
closed a thrillinir speech by .saying:
‘■I see here, I see around me, old friends who
used to stand shoulder to shoulder with me in
many a well-f«>Uirht field in former times. They
have not of late taken part in the jKjlitical s>tru>r-
gles and contesLs that have moved the minds of
men in this our State of MaNsachuiiett;*. They
are here to night, some of them after years of re
tirement. One of them, whom I took by the
hand in the ante-chamber, saitl to me, “I feel as
if I was corning home.” Simple words, but they
came from his heart—they went to mine. [Ap
plause], Have we not come home?* e have
waud«red far—we have jmssed by one or more
doors, which opened them.selves wide. c pa.s»od
the I>eniiK*ratic dtwr—that was not our home. e
passed the Republican door—that was not our
home. We wandercl on, sometimes a little faint,
but we have now just climbed the brow of the
hill, and arc looking down upon our home, [hn-
thusiastic and prolonged ehceriugj J here is our
old i.olitical homestead—the school-house—the
old well anl the well-sweep—the meadow, the
meeting house, and the />^//in the belfry—[shouts
of applause]—the good old church-going bell
flinging wide its mellow tones far over hill and
dale, and seeming to speak, as it falls in tones of
music on the ear, “Weary wanderer, foot-sore
and spent, welcome—welcome home!” [Prolong
ed and hearty applause followed by three cheers
for Mr. Hillard, the audience rising and shouting
as with one voice.]
An Jntereatiny Incidevt.—During the progress
of the Breckinridge fizzle, on Tuesday night, a
gentleman arose in the audience and stated that
he liad always been a Democrat—a Democrat
from his youth up—but he was prepared, there
and then, to propose a bet ot from 850(» to 85,000
that Breckinridge would not carry the State ol
\ irginial This proposition, coming as it did
from a staunch, well-known, intelligent Democrat
of this city, fell like a thunder-bolt upon the a.s
sembled Breekinrifgers, and caused them to im
mediately wiltl It operated as an awful damper
upon the feelings of the faithful Vanceyites, and
made them all look exceedingly cheap and “sot-
backish.” The bet thus publicly offered, it is
needless to say, was not taken—notwithstanding
Mr. Welford had just assured the Breckinridgers
most solemnly that Breckinridge would triumph
antly carry every Southern State, and notwith
standing Mr. i.se had just solemnly assured
them that Breckinridge would easily carry Vir
ginia, in spite of both the Douglas and the Bell
men!
The gentleman, who thus defiantly brought the
Breckinridgers to their milk, by the offer of so
accomodating a bet, is Mr. Wood of this city, a
life-long and devoted Democrat.—Rich. Whiy. '
A Fine Prospect.—W. L. Yancey, in his speech
at Huntsville, the other day, said:
“The contest of 1856 was barely won by a
united democracy, .said Col. Y. ^V^e are now di-
vided—have only 127 votes, the whole Southern
States, with Oregon and California, divided be
tween Breckinridge, Bell and Douglas."
\ ancey calculates certainly upon the election
of Lincoln, which is to be the signal for a disso
lution of the Union The honest masses can
thwart the whole scheme by concentrating upon
Bell and Everett.—7eWt.
l^tnditioH of Southern ('raps.—We continue
to receive, say.s the N. (). Bulletin, very discour-
jiging accountis of the condition and prospects of
the crops in the South. Indeed, if these accounts
be not a little overdrawn, our planting interests
have received such a blow as must entiiil much
distress ujion many communities in our section.
Not within our recollection has vegetation in the
Southern States been visited with such extraor
dinary weather. In many .sections no rain has
fallen for fully three months. The nights have
been hot and dewless, while fiercely blazing suns,
withering bla.sts ol heated air, with fret|Uent hur
ricanes, and in some sections storms ot rain and
hail, will render memorable for many a year the
days of the summer of l8(jU. Such lias been the
weather South, and the result is seen in cornfields
so completely burned up as iu many instances not
to afford even fodder for cattle. Cotton, too, in
several sections, is reported as having ceased grow
ing, and is now preniaturelj opening at the top.
.\s remarked in a previous article, the intelligent
reader can readily conclude for himself the actual
condition of vegetation subject to such blighting
weather. For ourselves, we confess our inability
to arrive at a general conclusion as to the ijuantity
of corn saved, and the relative j)roportion of the
coming cotton crop to those of previous years.
Heated Wind Storm.—A heated wind storm
pjLssed over a portion of Kansas on the 7th inst ,
which proved nearly as destructive to animal life
;ts the recent tornadoes that visited with such
terrible efTect portions of Iowa. The wind arose
about KM o’clo-k A. M., and continued until 8
o’clock in the afternoon. At 1 o’clock the mer
cury roxc to 119i degrees, and continued so for
about an hour, and then began gradually to de-
crea.se. The effect can scarcely be imagined. The
wind blew a brisk gale, carrying with it a salty
sulphurous smell. 'I’wo men in attempting to
cross the country from the lola to Humboldt,
(distance eight miles,) were overtaken and pen.sh-
ed. There were three others at Humboldt who
were caught out with teams, which perished, the
men alone surviving, and are now in a fair way
to recover. There was scarcely a chicken left in
the countrj’. Hogs and cattle fell in their tracks
and suffocated. Various reasons and conjectures
as to its cause are "iven, but all unsatisfactorv
Countert'fit Jold.—The New York Banks and
the Subtreasury office in that city warn the pub
lic against the ingenious and very dangerous
counterfeit of the ten dollar gold pieces which are
circulated exten.sively, and almo.st defy detection,
except by an expert. The genuine Cfiin is open
ed, full one-half the gold taken out, and then fill
ed in with plarina or some other e|ually heavy
substance, and then cicseil up; the coin itself, to
all a’>[>earances, remaining the same in all respects
even to the specific weight. Specimens of this
spurious coin are exhiVuted which would seem
ti defy detectiiin by ordinary skill, or even th
closest observation and handling, and vet the
amount of pure gold left in a ten dollar gold piece
is scarcely e}ual to 84.50.
Tr.rtii (\tiif }l»d ifii Fire.—The Nauvm» Kx-
press says; “A coal bed, between Wild ^'at Blutf,
on the Trinity, and Mound Prairie, which has
been burning slowly for a number of vears, lias,
during the presinit dry season, made wonderful
progress, ninl ten or twenty acres have l»eeu
burnt off, and the fire still proirre5»sing rapidly
Kccently, t>n a gefitlenian and lady riding near it
the horses broke through the crust of earth which
covers the fire near the edge, and were severely
burnt before they could get out.”
.4 Ureat Wfiiot Stnte.—The wheat crop ol the
young State of Wi.sconsin for the year 1
set down, after a cjireful estimate by the most
competent perst'tis. at tir iiti/-ticu tiiil/inus ur
buihrlt. In 1 >5U the wheat crop in Pennsylvania,
the heaviest wheat-growing State, wa.«- 15.;-»ri7.*5l>l
bushels. The ciopof Wi.sconsin. in that ye.’ir, was
bushels. The ]>ro*]uct of the pre.sent
year is i>erfectly amazing.

We have definite accounts from 81 out of
A le.arned — Witnesses arc of’teii exceed

Cure for In (Jrowing Nails.—It is stated bv
a correspondent that cauterisation by hot tal
low is an immedi.ite cure for in-growing nails.
He says; “The patient on whom I first tried this
wjus a young lady who had been unable to put on
a shoe for several months, and decidedly the wonst
case I have ever seen. The disease had been of
long standing. The edge of the nail was deeply
undermined; the granulations formed a high ridge,
partly covered with skin, and pus constantly
oozed from the root of the nail; the whole toe was
swollen, and extremely tender and painful. My
mode of proceeding was this: I put a very
small piece of tallow in a spoon and heated it
over a lamp until it became very hot, and drop
ped two^ or three drops between the nail and
granulations. fhe effect was almost magical.
Pain and tenderness were at once relieved, and in
a few days the granulations were all »one, the dis
eased parts dry and destitute of feeling and the
edge of the nail exposed so as to admit of being
pared away without any inconvenience. The
cure was complete, and the trouble never return
ed. I have tried this plan repeatedly since, with
the most satisfactory results. The operation
causes but little if any pain if the tallow is
properly heated. A repetition might in some
-cases be necessary, although I never have met
with a case that did not yield to one application.
Admitting the theory of Dr. Loinrer to- be cor
rect, the modus operandi is very plainly to be
The litjuid cautery insinuates itself in every
iimSrstice under the nail, accomplishing in one min
ute, without pain, all that can be eftWted by the
painful application of nitrate of ^Iver for several
weeks. ——Medical and Suryical Journal.
A One-Sided Balance Sheet.—A shoe Dianu-
factvirer of London failed a few weeks ago, when
his liabilities were found to be a quarter of a mil
lion of dollars, and his a.ssets eleven thousand dol
lars.
It is e^y in the world to live after the world’s
opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our
own; but the great man is he who in the midst of
the crowd keeps the independence of solitude.

*4 Tempest in a Tea-Fot.—The Secession jour
nals are endeavoring to excite a sectional prejudice
again.st Mr. Bell because he believed in the right
of petition; and favored the courteous reception of
every petition which came from the people, even
though some of them might ask for interference
with the peculiar institution of the South which
Congress had not the power to grant. Receiving
the petitions, however, was a very different thing
from advocating or favoring them. These fire-
eating journals seem to forget that Mr. Buchanan,
whose election they all advocated four years ago.
was always in favor of receiving such petitions.
He presented a great many of them himself. For
instance, on the 18th of August, 1838, he present
ed a petition in favor of entering into diplomatic
intercourse with Hayti, which, if granted, would
have compelled this Government to have received
at Washington a nigjer Ambassador.
