In an article which we transfer to our own col umns, the Washington Sentinel presents an irre sistible argument in support of Senator Hunter's scheme for the final disposition of the public lands. We can make allowance for the scruples of who object to the homestead provision of this bill and we appreciate the reluctance with which they consent to support a measure in upparent conflict with an important principle. LJut we cannot be lieve that any intelligent mind, not incorrigibly bigoted to an impraciicnble theory, will reject the bill with all its great and ineontestible advantages, simply because it is defective in a single particular. This bill is th result of necessity. Sena or Hunter, than whom no man is more strict and .... ml . c , . , mn.t i 1. m . n " a I r 1 1 -t i nn Al Iha nAtirurc tt I flo b, , , . . ,. r, , rederal coverdment over the public domain, des . . . , J J I ' 1 r U I I U MHI 1 IIIO VIII M II I I 4U'- & U II IUI.UI J I IV I tion. But he claims, and justly claims for the measure that it embodies no pernicious principle, that it achieves results of the greatest advantage to the country, and that i: saves the South from an imminent and overwhelming calamity. There is not an intelligent person in Washington who did not foresee that the ultimate triumph of the Homestead Bill, wi'h all its odious provisions, was among the inevitable events of a not remote fu ture. Raihcr than suffer the measure to pass in all its hideous deformity, it was the plain and im perative duty of the representatives of the South, as far as possible, to purge it of its obnoxious pro visions. ,V1r. Hauler has done more than this: he h is defeated the obnoxious measure, and in its stead has substituted a bill of essentially different character, and of great and indisputable advan tage, though possibly not perfect iu all its minute details. It may argue some independence of judgment to pronounce summary and fl ppant condemnation on a measure which originated with Hunter, and which has the sanction of the unanimous Demo cratic vote of the Senate ; but for our part we chose rather to follow their lend than be found in a motely minority of Whigs and Abolitionists. If this bill conflict with the principles of State Rights .School and impair the interests of the South, it is a singular circum.-tance that its champions should be .Mason and Builer. and its opponents Badger anri Seward. The most intelligent person should betray some diffidence in opposing a measure which is recom mended to the country with such an array of au thority as sanctions Mr. Hunter's Bill. The pre sumption is legitimate that either the measure is not such as an imperfect examination represents it, or else that its passage is urged and warranted by circumstances of which ive are not cognizant. The presumption is legitimate that men who have been selected for el-'vated and responsible position by reason of their intellectual superiority and their fnlt lity to the interests of the State who bring all their sagac:iy to its service, and who, from constant study, are perfectly familiar with the po litical conditnn of ihe country we say the infe rence is legitimate that these men have not rashly commuted themselves to a measure of pernicious principle and mischievous consequence. The New York Courier and Enquirer, nn ar dent advocate of the original Homestead bill, op poses this measure vehemently, and for the reason that M its success would effectually defeat the homestead principle in our legislation." Perhaps we may derive an argument in favor of the mea sure as well from the opposition of its enemies as from the support of its friends. The more we reflect upon this important mea sure, and the better we understand its nature and operation, the higher is our appreciation of its ad vantages, and the greater our admiration of the statesmanship which conceived it.

Richmond Enquirer. Rice. The culture of rice in Louisiana ap pears to be increasing. There are immense tracts of swamp land in that Suite well sdaptid to the growth oi this crop. There is land enough along the Lafourche to grow more than all the rice plantations of South Carolina, which can be easi ly watered from that branch of the Mississippi. Good rice land will produce from 60 to 112 bush- e's of paddy (rough) rice to the acre, and a bush el will yield on an average 29 pounds of clean rice worth one dollar, while the broken rice and meal will pay for hulling. This shows a profita ble erop, Lut not above facts. We know rice planters on the Cape Fear Utver, North Carolina, 75 bushels is a common average. Lovkliness. It is not your dress, Indies, your expensive shawl, or golden fingers that attracts the attention of nu n of sense they look beyond these. It is your character they study. If you are trifling and loose in your conversation, no mat ter if you are r.s beautiful as an angel, you have no attractions for them. It is the loveliness of your nature that wins and continues to retain the affections of the heart. Young ladies sadly miss it w ho labor to improve (heir outward looks, while they bestow no care upon their minds. Fools may be won by gew-gaws and fashionable, showy dresses, but the wise and substantial pre never caught by such traps. Let modesty be your dress use pleasant and agreeable language, and though you may not be courted by the fop, the good and truly great will love to linger in your steps. Strasgk Malformation. A Simpson county co rrespor.de oi informs us that a negro child was uorD 'n ,nat coun,y on M n'limo, which was thua&injjularly malformed : It had two heads, four hands and four feet, with the usual number o( fingers and toes upon the latter. The strange aspect which it presented wns that of one child silting in another's lap, with head inclined to one side. The monater lived only a snort time after birth, but sufficiently long for the attending phy sician and others present to observe wi:h nstnn iihrni nt its Almost unaccountable malformation, It was burn at ihe residence of a well known planters ul Dry Cr-r k, Covington county- IWmlding (MifS.)

Dockery the " honost old farmer," and other sim ilar appellations. From the frequency wHi which he is ex oiled for his honesty, you would almost lie led to suppose that the whigs never had nn liu'Hst candidate before, and that hating at last lighted on one, they are particulary desirous that this quality of honesty should lie known. The democrats, on the other hand, do not think it ne cessary to tell the world that Mr. Bragg is honest : 'hat ho will neither rob nor steal ; tor they would not hnve nominated a man who whs not honest. There are other qualities which a Governor ought to possess besides honesty. He ought to be ca pable. North Carolinian .
