Erwin, of the Tennessee, was appointed Assistant Secretary. Dr. Early moved t hat the Rules of the last Con ference be adopted for the government of its pre sent session. Dr. Green moved to amend the first rule, so as to require the Delegates to meet at nine o’clock, A. M , and adjourn at 1 P. M. The rules were then e lopted. Dr. Early moved that the Rules and names of the Standing Committee be ordered to be printed and that 800 copies be furnished for tbe u«o of the Conference. A Committee on Public Worship was constitu ted of the Presiding Eider of the Columbus Dis trict, and the stationed Preacher, in Columbus. On motion of Dr. Green, the editors ofoar peri odicals were appointed a committee to take charge of the publication of the proceeding* of the Con ference. The following standing committees were ordered to be appointed, the first eight to consist of one member from each delegation, and the others five each : 1. On Fpi -copp-cy. 2. On Itinerancy. 8. On Boundaries. 4. On the Book ccncern. 5. On Missions. 6. On E tucation. 7. On Kevisals. 8. On Sabbath Schools. b. (.in t ic claims of tne American Bible Society. 10. On Temperance. 11. To ascertain the expenses of the Bishops and Delegates to the Conference, and the best method of defraying tbe same. Rt-olved, That the Delegates from each Annual Conf.-rencc appoint from their own Dumber, one member on al! committees that may be constituted of one member from each Annual Conference. T ie middle piilsr of the house was agreed upon as the bar of the house. The following resolution was offered by F. G. Ferguson, and not adopted : Resolved, That the Committee on publication are hereby instructed to publish our proceedings only, ana not the speeches or synopsis of the same. The Conference then adjourned with prayer by Mr. Crouch. Scraps from the Knickerbocker Table. A little girl had a beautiful head of hair, which hung in ‘clustering curls’ down on her neck. O e hot summer day, she went up stairs and cut all the curls off. Corning down, she mot her mother, who exclaimed with surprise— “ Why, Mary; wh t have you been doing to your hair ?” To which she responded, tba’ she had cut it off and laid it away it her box, but that she intended to put it on again to morrow, as Aunt Nancy did ! Some y. irs ago, when the present Clerk of the Hotme : V» ashitigtou was domiciled in the Quaker City, hi* young son, a l id of some six years, hap pen*:' to boa; h - f..tber’s office one morning, when the hat ess prophet, George Mundy, made hisapnearmice, <*nd getting into conversation with the c.ii d, the latter a.-ked hici in the course of their dial ; “Whv don’t you wear a hat, Mr. Mundy!” “Oh !” answer,-d the prophet, “because their is nous* in i;; God’-> creatures are not so furnish ed— he-p and other animals, don’t wear iia s.’’ Qiick a* 'ightning, cumethe child’s philosophic and cliuehtng respou.se: “Are you a sheep, Mr. Mundy?” My “wo year and half is considered ‘some’ in these parts, and never speaks without saying something.

Our cook has also a ‘two year and.-a-half—no black that you can't see him after sun-down—who rejoices in the cognomen of ‘Tom.’ And Dick has an insuperable dislike for the aforesaid Tom.

It appears that Austin was riotous, and the Marshal attempted to arrest nun. In the attempt, Green drew his revolver and fired upon Walker three times, when the latter becoming exasperated, drew ms own pistol and shot Green, tbe ball entering his breast. He wa! it e J some thirty yards, and im mediately expired. He leaves a wife and three children.--.Vt’. Republican. The Mineral* of Kasl Tennessee. The precedents or followers of Tuoal Gain, the groat firs-instructor of artifices in the metals have become bo numerous in this section that their name is legion. You can scarcely see tnree per sons euft»ged in earnest conversation in the streets 0! i ay of our villages or towns, thut cop per, zinc. Lad, or Borne other metal is not the en grossing 'subnet. Almost every one that you meet has hi* “ pocket fuli of rocks,” and a fortune of hundreds of thousands of dollars is just wit.no his grasp. Every ridge and mountain in this section is undergoing the strictest scrutiny and investigation that the thirst for money can excite. And it our Geologist and Mineralogist who has been lately elected by our Legislature will pay us a visit and faithfully examine one half the speci mens of metals that will be continually thrust under his observation ho will bu the best worked man in the State. . , . , We have heretofore noticed m a somowhat de sultory way the reports of discoveries of metals that have beeu brought to our notice. But this interest is becoming so important and attracting the attention oi such a large number of our popula tion, that it deserves tho particular attention and fostering influence of the press. Soveral years sgo, the first indications of coppor were found at Ducktown, in Polk County, in this Slute. But if we are not mistaken it is scarcely two yoars since any attempt was made to work the mines. The first attempt of this bind, though without the ap plication of much skill on account ot tho abun dance, and tho ease with which the oar was ob tained and its richness, sometimes yielding from 60 to 8o perct., of pure metal proved sucoc.sluh The location of the mines is in the midst of tho rnouu tains—the population was very sparse and there were no roads until the owners of the mines opened highways to the East Tennessee and Geor gia Railroad, and the Oconee river. Within the last year landsin this neighborhood have increased in value to u wonderful extent. Quarter sections, (lfio acres) have been estimated from fifty to fivo hundroJ thousand doilais. And real sales have been made and ofl'ers refused at those prices. One of the richest of these mines, it was said, was sold a few years since for a pet bear. It would now, probably command from a half to a million of dollars. We cannot state certainly what amount of cop per is taken out, by the several companies of these mines per day. But we undersand that one company is delivering about forty tons per day at Charleston on the Hiwaseo River, lobe acDt off by the Tennessee and Georgia Railroad. And wo must suppose tho amount taken from tho mincß to bo very iargo, as it is said one laborer can dig a ton of ore per day. iho ore is said to bo worth about a hundred dollars per ton. This, for profits, beats the California and Australia “diggiua all hollow,” and we should believe there wus consi derable exaggeration in the .statement, if we had not been assured oy several respectable gentlonien, i that this is a reasonable estimate. The ore is sold j in New York at from 75 to 160 dollars por ton, so j that it is reasonable to set it down as being worth , on an average, one hundred dollars per ton at the ! mines, when taken out. From all the experiments j yet rnude, the supplies of ore seem to be iuex i haustiblo. Wo have understood that an English Mineralogist, who lately visited these mines, stated ! that there was more copper in four miles of Duck ! Town, than there was in uli England. The ridges of mountains containing tho copper at Duck Town run through the whole length of East Tennessee. They passthrough the counties of Folk, McMinn, Monroe, Blount, Sevier, Cocke, G reeno, Washing ton, Sullivan, and into tbe State of Virginia. Certain evidences of copper have beeu found we ur.der»taud, in McMinn, Monroe, and Bionnt Counties, the three nearest counties to Folk, and the specimens indicate that the ore of these coun ties ib as rich as that of Folk, but we have heard as yet of noox ( loratious of any importance being made by digg ng or sinking shafts. We are satis fied however, that copper in large quantities will be found in all the couut’es through which these ranges of mountains pass. Several weeks since, some of our adventurous East Tenueeseeans vreut on a prospecting expedition to Grayson County Virginia. They there found copper ore in vast abundance believed if possible to exeeod the rich mines !of Folk county in this State. A largo num ber ot specimens were exhibited iu our streets a few days since from these mines about which there could be no mistake. The natural copper was clearly discernible in tho rock in large ana unmis takable lumps. From three to five millions of dollars worth of copper ore will be taken from the mines in Folk county the present year. As yet, wo understand, but one company has got fairly to work, though in a short time some eight or ten companies will be fairly under way, and iu the course of three or four years the amount of copper taken from East Tennessee and Virginia, will probably equal in value the amount of gold now brought from Cali fornia. All the indications of copper yet found in this section have been discovered almost entirely by persons possessing but little knowledge of Mi neralogy, and there has been but little application of skill and science in the working of the mines. We are in great want of scientific Mineralogists I and Geologists to explore our mountains. Some few are now among us, but there is a very large field for others, and we can assure them they will find one of the most interesting countries to the eeientifie mind to be found iu the world. Besides tbe copper ore, zinc has been discovered in the county of Jefferson, at Mossy Creek and at Daudridge, and in a short time th© extent and ! richness of the ore will be tested. Still richer j specimens ot zinc have been found it is believed, j in the countie* of Campbell and Claiborne, which will also bo tested in a short time. Lead has been found in almost every county in ; East Tennessee, but has attracted very little atten tion in consequence ot its being overshadowed by ! the excitement about copper and zinc. But our mountains abound in coal and iron of the very i best quality, exceeding any part of the world. The j Iron of East Tennessee, has attained a celebrity, we understand, at Louisville, Cinein ati and ! Pittsburg. And some Northern manufactures who have lately established themselves here, have pro nouuced it the finest in the Union. Along the whole margin of the Cumberland Mountains in the counties of Roane, Morgan, Anderson, Scott, Campbell, and Claiborne, coal and iron ore is found iu such close proximity that it is believed iron can be manufactured cheaper than in any part of the world. In looking over our vast mineral wealth and the enterprise and capital now beirg embarked in extruding and working tho various metals in this section of the country, we have no hesitation m say ing, that, in a few years the minerals of Last Tennessee will equal the products of HI the bal ance of the State. Nor shall we be dependent on other lands for the staff of life. For fertility and productiveness, our rich valleys, and river bot toms, ere not to be surpassed. We can compete witn any other country in wheat, corn, and oats. For several seasons we have glutted our Railroads, and Steamboats with our flour, bacon, and corn, and with remunerating prices, we can in two or three years double the quantity we have hereto fore exported. For two seasons we have saved the State of Georgia from want of bread stuffs, and as soon as our lino ot Railroads, now in pro gress are extended wo shall supply South Carolina and South Alabama. Wo anticipate a bright future lor East Tennessee, and we are glad to see that our thrifty and enterprising population are beginning to appreciate the country they possess, and are improving their farms, and exhibiting a cherulness and industry in all their avocations— Hure evidence of their increasing prosperity and l.app i n ess.— Knox vide Statesman. Horseback Hiding —Aided by a riding dress and a spirited horse, woman attracts attention, ex erts influenza nnd appears like a goddess. She then in effect rLes above herself, wears au air, i nd exhibits a style that commands observation and secures admiration. No does r lady thoroughly equippod show so advantageously as on horseback, and nowhere does she exert a more wnolesome influence. Tasty female equestrians, tor neighborhood or a pleasure party, arc a moral go*d equal at least that of a clergyman. And as an adjuvant to the colporteur for the virtue and gallantry of a people, schools for the practice of females in horsemanship should be instituted. Woman’s sphere of action at present is confined within doors, yet her health, beauty and happi ness require a great variety of scenery, an active life, many atnwsemeDts, and the pure country air. To her, inaction, confinement and sameness a-e eminently injurious, and they will soon rob her of each charm and life. And we may add, tho present poverty of health among American women is startling proof of this truth! Tho government and much of the labor at home falis upon her, rightly enough too, and will so continue. But while she mast continue tho moving spirit of domes*io life, something must bo furnished by which, in a short time and in a pleasing manner, she can obtain all the means essential to health, pleasure, happiness. In riding horseback, woman can find in these particulars much that she re quires. She can instantly pass, by horse, from her twelve feet kitchen or parlor, from her labor and confinement, to the country air and scenery; to the contemplation ot the varied ob jects of nature, to many amusements, and to a field of bodily exercise which has no equal for its general effect upon the trunk, neck and head, and seats of life, and those parts of the organization which are most neglocted and wickedly mutilated by foolish habits and inaction. I his exercise is inestimable to her. it meets so many wants at the same time, and so happily com with BU bstantial good.

Ini Amateur Concert, wo aro requested to state, has boon postponed 111 Monday evening next, the Bth inst. An Honest Man. —The Editor of the Chat tanooga Gazette, chronicles the following incident, which is worthy of being repeated, for the benefit of all nowspaper subscribers : “An incident occurred with us the other day worthy of note. On the cars, an old gentleman, Edward Mitchell, hearing our name came and in troduced himself—stating that he had moved from Teunessee to Missouri eighteen years ago—that when he left ho wus indebted $2.50 for our paper, and he then wished to pay it which he did. If the world was male up of such honest men, our gains would make us rich.” It is unfortunate for the success and indepen dence of the newspaper press generally, that so many subscribers, l’eol too little the obligation to pay promptly for their papers, and either neglect their duty in this respect, for long periods, or omit to pay altogether. The first is a grievous fault, and the latter always displays a want of honesty, where the party is able to pay. Journalists have, however, the corrective in their own hands, if they would only apply the romcdy. Lot them adopt tho cash system, and require advance pajments. They would then bo compensated for their labor, and be saved the auuoyunce, vexation and loss, which result from tho present system of credits. They might havo fowor names on their lists, but it would bo bettor, much bettor, to havo a few paying than a large list of non-paying subscribers. The Hon. A. H. Stephens. —A Washington cor respondent of the Now York Times, in a letter in which he gives personal sketches of a number of members of tho present House of Reprosenta tives, notices our immediate representative, thus : “Yonderis one one of them—that spare, wan looking man, with a head about the size of a child’s ot twelve years old, a low forehead, with a dry brown hair combed carefully down over it, the sallow and beardless fuce, the small nose ana oorapressed li-.s. That is Alexander 11. Stephens, ot Georgia, a very intorior iookiug man, you would say, and yet, as a parliamentarian aud a debater, ho has no peer in the present lb>use. The first tone ol his shrill, piercing voice, as he shrieks out, “Mr. Speaker,” rivots the attention of members ; the newspaper is cast a>ide, the pen drops from the hand, and every word that falls from his lips is listened to with breathless interest.” The hrig Glamorgan, recently captured by the U. S. brig Perry, on thecoestof'Africa.and brought to Boston as a slaver, is owned in New-York. Her captain, alter the capture, acknowledged that she had been fitted out as a slaver. This is a fine com mentary oil Northern philanthropy. True Patriotism. —Tho Carolinian oontains the intelligence that Mr. Hiram Hutchison, Presi dent of the Bank of Hamburg, has given five thousand dollars to tho South Carolina College, for the purpose of founding a scholarship to aid in the education of indigent young men of merit. Robert M. Thompson was urraigued before Jas per Superior Court, last week, ou an indictment of an assault (in the case of Col. Harmon 11. Geiger,) with intent to murder. Ho plead guilty and was sentenced to ton years imprisonment at hard labor in the Penitentiary. A negro girl belonging to Mr. McMichael wa B also tried for the murder ’of Mrs. McMichael, aud found guilty and sentenced to bo hung. It is stated that a new factory is being put up in Biddeford, larger thau any single mill in tho country. The foundations are already being laid for a building, from 400 to 6uo feet in length, by 80 feet in width, and fivo stories in height, capable of containing 50,000 spindles. Tho amount of hemp raised in the Western States, as near as can be ascertained, is 29,000 tons per annum. Os this great western staple, Kentucky raised 15 000 tons, and Missouri raised 10,000 tons. Each of these States is capable of producing 100,000 tons per annum. There has been a fiood in the Hudson. The Albany Atlas of the 23th nit, says: The recent rains have swollen the river beyond the confines of tho piers and docks, and the latter are overflowed to tne depth of several feet. The cellars, too, of the stores in the vicinity are flood ed, and merchants are busy hoisting their goods aloft. This afternoon the water was at least a foot deep ou the first floors of some of the stores, and still rising. Were it not for the north wind pre vailing, tho fiood would reach former high water marks. The town authorities of Tuseumbia, Ala* have fixed the license for retailing liquors, keeping Mil liard tables, ten pin nlleys and other gamingtables at one thousand dollars. “Direct Praying. —A Maim: correspondent of the Greon Mountain Herald gives tho following as tho form of prayer by a class of people called “new lights, and who believe both in direct preaching aud direct praying: “Lord havo mercy on sister Kelly, who gets up. cuffs the cat, kicks the dog, scolds her husband all the morning, and then goes to meeting, and gets up and talks right ou top of it.” Telegraph Across the Atlantic. —Tho New York Post says that the last mail lrom Newfound land brings intelligence of the charter of a company by the title of “Tho New York, Newfoundland aud London Telegraph Company.” Tho ultimate object of the gentlemen interested in this project is tho establishment of a sub marine telegraph to connect Newfoundland with Ireland. The Now \ r ork, Newfoundland and Loudon Telegraph Company have bought the lines already erected by the Newfoundland Electric Telegraph Company, aud have their pluns so far advanced as to beiieve that St. Johns, Newfoundland, will bo in tele graphic communication with all tho cities in tho Union by the end of September next. Mr. James Moore, a revolutionary veteran, died on tho loth ult. at Metuehon, Middlesex county, in the 100th year of his age. His death was cause l by injuries received by a fall on the ice, in Janua ry last, previous to which time he was accustomed to walk twelve miles a day—so extraordinary, considering his advanced age, was tho vigor and elasticity of his lrume. During the Revolutionary war he was employed in furnishing clothing for the American army; and he behold, from the shores of Staten Island, in 1778, the English fleet, under Sir Wm, Howe enter the harbor of New York. The proposition to erect a monument to Daniel Webster, which passed the Sonato of Massachu setts on Saturday, came up in the House on Thurs day. The Free Sobers, with their usual bitterness, showed their relentless hate, which even death cannot diminish or quench. Democrats and Whigs nobly vindicated the character of the dead, but on motion of one of Mr. Webster’s most intimate friends, the resolution was laid on tho table by an almost unanimous vote. There was power enough to pass the measuro, had it been thought best to press it. The price in Boston of Russia hemp, is now 20 cents per pound ; Mantilla 19 cents. Only one car go from Russia and one from Mantilla are expected for some months at that port. The Veto Message of Gov. Seymour on the Li quor Prohibition bill, has been neatly published by a firm of enterprising Importers of Wines and Brandies in New York, with their business card at the head cf it. The Arabia brought a fair amount of orders for our Securities, mostly for the Continent, and it is said no stocks were returned, with the exception of some Virginia and Government stocks. “The silken tie” has been most villainously out raged of late. Eighty three divorce cases were before the Superior Court at Concord, N. H., at its late sitting. Thirty-three separations were decreed, seven applications denied, and forty three cases were reserved for further advisement. The Ward Acquittal. Tho telegraph announces that the trial of Mat thew F. Ward, for tho murder of Professor Butler, has terminated in a verdict of acquittal. The noto riety given to this ease has rendered the main facts connected with it almost universally known, and on these facts, the great mass of the people have recognised in the transaction a cruel aud premidi tatod murder. The younger Ward, a pupil in Butler’s school, was lor some transgression sub jected to the discipline which he thought neces sary. There is no charge that the punishment in flicted was excessive or unmerited. On this slen der provocation Matthew F. Ward and his younger brother armed themselves with pistols and bowie knivos, and sought Butler, surrounded by his class. An instant demand for an explanation was made in insulting terms, and the first attempt of Profes sor Butler to state the causes for which he had in flicted tho chastisement was interrupted by Ward calling him a liar, and when, with natural indig nation, he intimated his resentment, ho was shot down by the elder Ward, whilst the younger drew a second pistol and forbade interference upon the part of the bystanders. These are succinctly but fairly all the main facts in tho case. An attempt was made to prove that Butler struck Ward, and that ho acted in self-de fence in shooting him down ; thus sotting up the monstrous assumption that a man, armed to the teeth, and with murder in his heart, may provoke a quarrel with his unarmed and unwarned antago nist, arid outlie first manifestation ol the resentment which is thus basely provoked, shoot him down aud thon escape behind tho oowardly plea of self defeneo. On the facts wo have thus stated, every man capable of reasoning and influenced by cor rect principle, will say that an atrocious murder was committed, for which the security of society demanded that ample reparation should be made, by the punishment of the murderer. So the pub lic voieo in the vicinity of the tradegy almost unan imously said, and yet what has been the result?— The Wards wore imprisoned and in legal course brought to trial. On that trial they were surround ed by ail tho influences which their wealth and high social position put within their command, aud defended by such an array of eminent legal attainment and forensic eloquence, as has perhaps never before boen assembled in any case in this country. All the facts were against them, and tho youthful witnesses who beheld the murder told their story so plainly and with so much agreement that every one felt the case to be beyond tho power of legal quibble or question. That murder had been committed theie was no room for doubt, and tho only question open to the jury wus the decis ion of its grade. But in tho face of all this, an ac quittal was predicted, and that prediction has been verified. Can wo wonder that such casesas this aro gradu ally weakening tho public confidence in the effi cacy of trial by jury, and that people are learning that an acqui t.al can be obtained, no matter how atrocious the crime, nor how damnatory the proof of its commission, if only the right kind of influ ence can be brought in an effectual way to bear upon the twelve men who should bo, by their oaths, the impartial and unapproachable arbiters between the justice and the prisoner ? A trial for any high crime before a jury is no longer a calm and temperate inquiry whether tho crime was com mitted, and tho party accused guilty of its commis sion ; but it has become a trial of legal skill and of social corruption, in which all kind of agencies and influences are introduced to propitiate the good will of jurors where it cannot convince their reason, and t > enable them to compromise with their consciences by appealing to their sympathies. The sobs of relatives and friends, the anguish ot parents, the despair of wives, the woe of sisters, the woaltn and social position of tho offender, his political affinities, aud every imaginable circum stance that can tend to contuse or perplex tho jury, and divert them from a high sense of duty, are now the concomitants of a trial lor murder ; and if the offender be not some outcast for whom no one cares, such circumstances aro on every occa sion more or loss successfully introduced. If wo are to continuo to sustain the trial by jury as one of the institutions of the country, and to look to it for the securi y ol life and property against the vio'ence of murderers and the depre dations of thieves, what must be the course adop ted to prevent too repetition of such mockeries of justice as has just been concluded in Kentucky? We think the remedy is in holding thejurors up in dividually and personally before tho bar of public opinion, totho full responsibility imposed upon them by their oaths. The public concern is notin this or cognate cases with the wretched criminal, who, though guilty of cold blooded murder, has been declared legally innocent. If he has escaped the scaffold or tho felon’s cell, ho cannot escape the moral guilt attached to his crime, aud he must be a virtual outcast from the consideration of so ciety. But it is that the great safeguard of life, the efficacy of trial by jury, has received a fatal injury, and that twelve men, segregated from their fellows, and bound by tho most solemn of oaths, to discharge their duty without fear, favor or partiality, have proved unable to withstand the influence of wealth, family position, and talent brought against them, and in despite of evidence the most conclusive, have falsely and unworthily forgotten their -acred obligation-;,and brought a reproach upon the legal palladium to which they may yet have to appeal lor the protection of their dearest rights. Whatever of sympathy may be felt forthe criminal, and however those bound to him by ties of blood aud friendship may re joice in his safety, there should be no excuses ac I cepted, no palliation allowed, for those who, I treacherous to society and to themselves, havo pandered to that escape, and prostituted the l»w into a mere convenience for the sanction of a gross and palpable murder. They deserve and can expect to receivo no consuP ration from an out raged public sentiment. Wherever tho details of this trial become known, their condemnation will be certain, and, we may hope, the wrong which they have united to commit on justice, will react in producing a boalthi< r tone in tao publlo mind in relation to the undue influences that are allowed to make their way into the jury box, and to cause results so subversive as those exemplified in the Ward acquittal.— Balt. Amtr, The Weather aud Crops. The Weather. —This is rather a sore subject to persons at this time. Two destructive hailstorms have passed through our county during the last week. We were beginning to need rain, and on Friday last it came u perfect deluge with hail and wind. We understand that at Mrs. Haines’ aud Mr. Sheppard’s plantations, three and four miles West ot this place, the crop of corn and cotton was almost destroyed by the hail and fences all thrown down by tho wind. Wo had a light frost in this place on Sunday morning, and it seems as if winter will never leave us. Many of our farmers have been compelled to plough up and replant their corn destroyed by the frosts ; and the cold winds and light frost, will certainly destroy the youug cotton that is up.— Sander smile Georgian , 2c l inst. The Weather. —On Friday we had a tine shower of rain—after which tho weather turned cold, and has continued so up to this time. On Sunday morning there was some frost. The crops of all kinds are more backward than usual, and aro much injured by the cold.— Columbus Enquirer , 2 d inst. Weather vs. Crops. —The backward frosty con dition of tho season has had a ruinous effect upon the prospects of tho farmer. We havo had spelis of warm weather, which cause d the sap to flow and the crops to look fresh and forward; then, snow, hail, frosts and cold North wind havo fol lowed, nipping tho tonder bud and blasting tho premature plant. Farmers wear iong faces, fruit is mostly destroyed ; cotton injured and backward, wheat has suffered adly, and so with everything else in tho growing lino. Ou Saturday and Sun day night- last, severe frosts came unexpectedly, which have made another onslaught, and we can not tell what will bo the result. A series of warm showers and a plenty of them, may cause tho crops to recover, but. should a drouth follow oaily in the summer, tho farmers of this sectioh may “hang their Harps upon tho willow,” and turn their at tention to Astrology, and Horschel’s weather table.— Chattanooga Advertiser , 2c l inst. Late Frosts.— -If April has not iooled dame Na ture this your on an extravagant scale, she has played the mischief with her usual bestowments. instead of genial showers and sunbeams, wo have chill winds and biting frosts, in great profusion. And even May seems inclined to walk in tho way ward footsteps ot her illustrious predecessor. For at this prosent writing, (Monday morning) there is hoary frost in sight of our sanctum. These late visitations of co;d must prove highly pernicious to the prospects of the husbandman.— Southern Re corder, 2d inst. The Russian Japan Expedition. —The New York Courier is of opinion that the announcement is pre mature that tho Russian expedition lias succeeded in opening tho ports of Japan. It says, “There has been no such opening, and no promise to that effect. The Russian expedition has accomplished no more, substantially, than was accomplished by Commodore Perry. They have visited the port of Nar.gasaki, have had intercourse with one or two officers, and were treated with respect and cour tesy ; but no agreement or engagement of any kind was formed, though an intention was express ed in general terms to commence soon an inter course with foreign nations. We have before us a private letter written from Loo Choo by an Ame rican gentleman five months after the Russians anchored at Nangasaki and several weeks after they finally left. The letter is dated the 27th of January. It states that the Russians were closely engaged in watching—the expression in the letter is “dogging” the American fleet, but had done no thing yet, which would affect the movements of Commodore Perry. He at that time was lying at Loo Choo, and was to sail in a day or two for Jed do. It was felt that a great deal of difficulty had yet to be overcome, though strong hopes were en tertained of final success.” The Journal de St. Petersburg has the following Irmyon'the 23dT° f by theß^: ™ “England and France demand, ‘Clear out of the Principalities at once, or we’ll make war upon Russ i a replies, “Very good, we’ll clear out of them this very day, but it will be by the other side.” J The Object of Plowing. The object of plowing is not folly understood and considered by tho majority of tnoso who per form the work; if it were, it would bo done more faithfully and thoroughly. It is not alone to bill tho weeds and gras-, nor even t > furnish a seed bed of fresh-turned soil for planting or sowing— nor anything which looks merely to the inversion of tho sod—which* constitutes good plowing. — Largo plows turning a wide and shallow furrow, will show a largo day’s work—but the work is very imperfectly accomplished, when the true ob ject of plowing is the preparation it gives to the soil for producing vegetation—for giving to plants sown or planted, the elements of growth and fruitfulness. It should thoroughly pulverise and “loosen the texture of the soil, artd thus admit a fiee circulation of air and moisture, which by chemical action, disintegrates or breaks down the stony or mineral portions of the same, so that they may bo more readily dissolved and taken up by the roots.” In a soil thus plowed—thus prepared for yield ing its support to vegetable life—plants can ap propriate fiom far and near the nutriment needed for their growth. It is dissolved and ready for their use—not hidden in unbroken clods or slum bering in an undisturbed subsoil—but awaits their action in a friable and penetrable state, where every hungry rootiet, sent out to gather nourish ment, for its parent nlant, may find and appropri ate it. It is truly wonderful how lull of minute roots the soil of a corn-field becomes, and if that soil is fine and deep, the deeper and closer togeth er will the fibres permeate and intersect it. This is true of all other crops, and wlnlo the leaves and fruit depend so intimate y on tho vigor and extent of the roots, these facts should always be taken into consideration among the objoe’s ot plowing. Fineness and depth ofsoil are requisite in order toreceivo the full benefit of the manures applied. It is not fertilizuigfood in its crude state‘which assists vegetation—it must first become intimately mixed with it, or, in fact, a part of tho soil. Earn yard manure especially seems of litt:e worth, while lorming visible layers between the clods of a half plowed soil—it is often dry and coarse- and rath or shunned than sought by the roots sent out to forage for suitable food. If a well prepared soil has any strength or virtue, it will yield it readily; and poor laud in good tilth is often more produc tive than better soils less perfectly prepared. The influences of air and moisture have ireedom to work, and they are no laggards in gathering means to supply tho wants of vegetation. With these hints on the objuct of plowing, we might connect others on the process—the best means of accomplishing that object—but prefer to leave it for other pens. Will our practical iar mers, who have thought and experimented upon the subject, tell us what plow, and what depth and width of furrow, taking also soil, season, team end time into consideration, most thoroughly loo S l ons, pulverizes, aud inverts the soil? This infer mation would be of much value to every farmer and is especially noeded in the present state of Agricultural progress—for, taking the country at large into account, plowing is more imporfectlv performed than any other part of farm husban dry.—Moore's Rural JV. Yorker . A Yankee Wedding in New York.—Chancing to visit the office of Aldermau , the other day, we witnessed a hymenial ceremony that will bear narrating. The bridegoom was a weather-beaten country man, a ported picture of good-natur, but so tall that in entering the portals of tho office an in voluntary obesianee was necessary ; while the ar tificial hol'yhoeks on the summit of the bride’s bonnet just touched the elbow of herexpected lord. Their entrance was praeeded by It: urchin with dilapidated garments, who claimed and receiv ed three coppers as his fee for guiding them to the spot. “What can I do foryou, my good friends?” asked tho urbane Alderman, as if in utter ignorance of the object of their visit. “Pray be seated, madam.” “Well, Squire” answered the groom, with a com placent glance at the fiiagree breast pin that fast ened a dushing ribbon around the lady’s neck, “old Mrs. Pettibone down to Lynn—you’ve hear’n tell about her, I reckon ?” “Well, really, I think—l hardly know—l guess not.” “Not beard tell of her ’Squire ! why* she makes about the best punkin sass you ever*put in yewr stummik, I reckon ; slips deown jist as slick as a greased cat crawlin’ through a jint of stove pipe.” “Very happy to bo introduced to her, Sir; but don’t let me interrupt you. Pray proceed.” “Jes’ so, jes’ so. Well, old Mrs. Pettibone gin’ me Dianthy, here to git spliced to. She’s a widder woman, end old Deacon Pettibone made ropes of monoy in the shoe peg business when he was alive, and I larnt the business with him; so ye diskiver that nut’rally I liked the gall, and the old lady gin’ consent; so, es yew’ll pronounce the ceremony, your money’s ready.” “So you wish to be married, eh ?” queried the Alderman, willing to spend a few moment’s leisure in conversation. “May I venture to ask what in duced you to break through a bachelor’s life ?” “Sartin, ’Squire, sartin. Yew see it’s nat’ral.— Who ever heurn tel! of a bachelor ehiopin’ bird or a bachelor bob-o Siuk ? i reckon nobody has.— Aud then ain’t douolin kinder nat’ral? Ain’t double roses, and double mornin-gloriee and double pinyes the pootyiet, aud don’t everybody like ’em better than sin !e ones. The amount on j it is, nature teaches it, ’Squire, clear thiough the pogramtny, beginning with the robins and leavin’ off with the apple blossoms.” “Very true, my good Sir; a very philosophical view of the subject. (Turning to the lady.) And you, madam, have you given this subject the atten tion it merits V’ _ “Never mind her, ’Squire, jest let me settle that air business; ’tain’t no kinder use to trouble your bowols about Dianthy. Jest you fetch out yeour books and fire away .” The ceremony was soon performed. Our “Re form ' Alderman has carried improvement even into that department of his duties—and a two dol lar bill was duly placed in his palm by the newlv made husband. After he had congratulated the pair, aud wished them success, Jonathan exclaim ed : “ ’Squire, you’re a reg'lar trump, yen are; and if you ever come to Lynn you’ll find a stoppin’ place with me, and a rousin’ welcome. But, ’Squire,” and Jonathan facetiously inserted his fore linger in the region of the Alderman’s ribs, “I’m done with ore horse bedstea<is, lam. Good bye, ’Squire!” Journal of Commerce. lalse Economy. —We had the pleasure of an in terview yesterday morning with John Caldwell, Esq., the President of the South Carolina Railroad, and regret to learn from him, that the Postmaster General refuses to grant any compensation for another mail truin on his road. The amount now received is $287.50 per mile, and the amount de manded was only $62.50 per mile addiiiomd—ma king an extra expense to the Department or $12,- 500. All the Northern roads receive, wo believe, S3OO per mile for double mail service, and although it would involve a heavy sacrifice to the South Carolina Railroad, yet for the public good, the President and Directors were willing to accept that sum, and had, in conjunction with the Presidents of the various roads South, made arrangements for forwarding the great Southern Mail every twelve hours. The Postmaster General, however, having declined to accede to the just demands of Mr. well, the evening mail from New York will con tinue to be delayed twelve hours at Wilmington, N. C., to the great inconvenience of all engaged iu mercantile pursuits between that city and New Orleans. The entire additional expense to the Government for a double mail service between Wilmington and New Orleans would only be, wc understand, SBO,OOO, and why, while t’ e surplus revenue of the country amounts to nearly $28,500,- 000, such a pitiful economy should ho oxerc sed is what wo cannot imagine.

Great Importance of the Black Sea Southern and Central Russia occupies the great inland river basin of Europe, tho waters of which arc discharged into the Caspian and Black Seas. The extent of this basin, exclusive of the plain of the Danube, may be stated iu round numbers at a thou-and miles from east to west, and twelve hun dred from north to south—so that its area is about equal to that drained by tho Mississippi and its affluents. Although the Volga actually empties into the Caspain Sea, yet in a commercial and eco nomical point of view it must be considered as having its month in the Black Sea. The Volga and Don, in one portion of their respective cour se--. approach within forty miles cf each other and communicate already by means of railway* an - there exists no obstacle in the way of joining' tmmby a canal.
