L. POLK, of Anson, Coinmisaioii» er. Office of tho Department, iu the Briggs Building, ouFayettville street Raleigh, This Department has now entered upon the great work for which it was created-the improvement and ad vanmnentof the agricultural and all kindred industries of the State, and we bespeak the indulgent aid of all our fellow-citizens in the arduous to*k imposed i.pon us. A competent Chemist has been se. leoied, who will, in a few day*, open a LaboraUfry at Chapel Hill for the analys's ot commercial fertilizers, soils, &c.,and performing such olLer duties and experiments as tlie Board may direct. A summary of the law in relation to the sale of fertilizers and tfie pro pagation and prtoectlon of fish, and also a circular explanatory ot the plan by which the General Land and Mining Registry, connected with the Department, is proposed to be opera ted, will be published as soon as pi*ao ticable fcr' the public iuformation, and we invoke, in support of these important measures, an earnest co* operation in their enforcement and obedience. The tax imposed open the sale of commercial fertilizers has a two'told object in view: the one to suppress as far as practicable, the imposition ofdMionest article* upon oar people; and the other to aid in raising rert one for the support ef the Depart* ' ment, without addition to the gener aPttic' WBs/ So far, both objects seem in a fair way of realization. The ftitra rfrifcing from this booroe will certainly be ample to establish, and maiutain the Department on a tuefol and most effective fooling, and ft great regret that we per. clival tempts to render the people dissatisfied with the tax. The res qniremehts of the law are plain, and their faithfol enforcement will afford as was designed by their enactment, ; N* C., .TUESDAY, APBIL 24 187'f protection alike to the, manufacturer of tone** fertilizer*. Etch tag, parcel or package, must hnve stamped upon it a true chenrcal analysis of its content*, and *urclv no maitnfacturer would otyect to avails illy himae|f of this method of assui i:ig the farmer ol the true character rfiql of hie goods, especially as would serve the doable purjwse of commending It to the buyer, and torce competitor* in rpuriods to abamton (he market? But, as wft, to be expected,' (jnitc number of manufacturers ace opposing it rio' toutly. coiilbliiatiou Is ops etily forming, chiefly in the city ot Baltimore,.to test its validity iu the United J&aten Courts, and to aid tlicir tsotatttf by producing as much discontent aa. possible at home, they are otous dollar per ton, to egalile them, they say, to pay the 4#QO privilege tax* When it is reascmbered .that the enormous grofiis realiseU .by man ufaoturers juaiify I hem in paying to their dealers and agents, the, hands some sum of from flvo to ten dcllan per ton, on sales, and this advance of one dollar would, to many of tbem, | yield $5,000 instead of SSOO, it can be j easily seen that it is a mere pretensa ! to Gieed more heavily our confiding j people. North Carolina hat lon# been (lie richest harvest fur these dealers in fertilisers—honest atid dishonest— because we have heretofore been practiicajty unprotected by law, and hare bought their productions blind ly. . . There is but one Way to deal wijjj those who reap all the benefits of mjir. credulity, a.id resist in this w«y all our eflorts at sclf-proteetion> and that is— not to trade with them. Our purchases in fertilizers atnoiiul > by estimation, to three millions of dols lars annually, about two* thirds of which go to tfae city ot Haiti more. There are some manufacturers, there andtitawher*, wb»bav* paid the tax cheerHiHy-, and have refused to aid combinations in res' Sting Our law». ft'you will buy of (hem only, the trouble will cease. Their name* and addresses will be published for your Information as soon as the list is coins pleted. Farmers of Nurlh Carolina, we ask you to sustain this Department. H is the first attempt in the history of' the State to give your interests thai attention their importance demand and with evideiieos of appreciation on* your part, the Baa*# Will be greatly encouraged in the ftstybusible duties before them, and \yill devote whatev er ot ability aud energy tlmy possess* to your service and to the promotion of the material interest oi our Stale. It is the earuest desire ot the Board to utilize this auspicious opportunity for placing our State on the road to assured prosperty; to settle thrifly immigrant* on our unoccupied lands; io bring tortli the mineral riches of our lulls; to employ water power \a the service of manufactures; to cover -our mountain sloths with orchards and dairy farms; to adorn our midland hills and eastern plains with vineyards ; to stock our streams with fish, and infuse new life and intelligence into agriculture aud all its kindred pursuits. Be not deterred by any species of intimidation alopted by those who would strike down this our first effort, to eleriate aud ad* vaucc the controling interests of oar people, but earnestly and unitedly resolve that it have a fair trial, and see if w« cannot s»re bur people the 1 millions a.inually spent for worth less compounds, called by some high* sounding name. Ignorance is the most grtevious tax under which we labor, ami no price is too great to pay tor that knowledge which, while protecting us against imposition iuftieesiuto our agricultural masses a spirit of enterprise and progress. By order of the Board. L. L. POLK, Commissioner. LVfUTICS, An old man named Bprfagtnah came to Washington to be inaugu rated u President He claimed to have documents from the Louisiana returning board showing that be should be counted in. He was sent to the lunatic asylum. This makes, says s Washington letter, the sixth inane person who has come here to be iwMtgoarsted. ji -l* iJIU i imp ijiii!, ™ 9*n „„ Ma'riuiony! a wbrd delicate anil sensitive to the beautiful maid.

If there be to mortal •stgbtn seen* above nil others dear, it mnst be where womans heart beats responsive to her Lords and both' through lifea sea, approaching nearer that diviuity, in whose image we are, the wife whose, every act and Word, whose lives aud principles seem but the echo ot harmony, whose mingled notes join in concert and give assurance that happiness is there.. Ob it is a scene indeed which the Angels above might draw aside the airy curtains of the' sky jmd loook upon with heavenly vision. Two beings destined for the courts of im mortality, walking in the fear of God, locked in human love. Creatures formed for each below and bound for all eternity. They are as righteous ness and mercy kissing, as the early dew drops upon the opaning bud, as a tear that is shed on purest pearl and cbsafe as falling snow. Gentle maiden may this be so with yon. May thy married life ne'er be dis turbed by mans discontent, nor trouble* come to mar thy bliss; but let contentment like the raven perch ed upon the colored wing of the rainbow, sit upon the tablet of thy heart, and peaee and joy undisputed reign. Man may forget but woman never. He may turn his lode from her lie swore to low, follow the wild oceans roar, field of war, or march upward to fames proud temple, but she like the dove remembering the dreams of her fist fond love, returns to the window of her heart, proves tjrueiaad sinceie to last. , How inexpressibly glorious is e gmiskis woman.
