The folbwing paper has been approv¬ ed bv the National Grange, and recom¬ mended to he published : The undenfcned, representatives of the Cotton States in the National Grange, bog leave to present to the Pa¬ trons of Husbandry in the cotton grow ing section of the Union the following suggestions, which they believe to be justified by the present condition of the So utli: During the past seven years our cot¬ ton fields have added to the wealth of tlie world 82.000,000,000, ami caused prosperity to smile upon every one who has handled our crop, save thrse who struggle for its production. Annually the energies of the cotton planter have been exhausted in attempting to produce »-*'•*?■ mil'll* quite tro frequently » o'* he 6ins, has ° "*1^ redue as ed liis mean# in supplying bis necessary Wan,s - A system based upon such a policy and productig such results must be ra 'icaliy wrong, slid if per isted in will lead to bankruptcy «nd ruin.

Imagiue your condition should a sim¬ ilar invasion become general in th? Northwest. Couple with this idea the total failure of a cotton crop, filin' f. m tli.- v :n. from drouth, or any otinTiuuv.id.ib!i in-'. Improbable as such visitations may appear, we have r.oi tie pow.-r t * ]Tevt nt them, ,111 i is it wis. • , t nr- dves to the possibilitv of iit-t 'Oining the vie tuns of .-Ul .1 ea.amities Depend up r. it. our wi-i -t ami uf J obey is as far a* practicable, to procure at n*'ine VU- n - .rv sui pliIs farm iu th - uih up in which thi- cannot L.

But what proportion of this vast amount is returned to indi wte our pros^nty ? One half of is expeudf .l for necessary supplies, while the remainder is divided be twee iv labor aud taxes. Hence the cf -rxlucuon has excotsdcd value of the article produced. Shall this policy continue ? Extensive cotton crops have evinc ep our unity of purpose and entailed poverty upon us. An equally uni¬ form adhesion to mixed husbandry would secure our recuperation. Pat¬ rons of the*'South, do you rppreciate your privileges ? Reflect upon your opportunity to exact tribute of the world Cotton is a necessity, and the extent of that necessity can be calculated with exactness. It is equally well known what proportion of that necessity must be supplied by the Cotton States of America. If 4,500,000 bales are grown, they will be consumed before another crop can be gathered, and a remunerative mar ket price will be sustained by the consequent demand. Jf 4,5 0,000 bales are grown, the large marginal excess will control and depress the market it is not within the power of our organization to control this feature of our condition. Alterna¬ tives for success are numerous, but we need rely only upon the single one of co operating in the determina¬ tion to subsist at home. With tins end attained, there is no reason why we should not be the happiest, most independent and prosperous people on earth.

That lime will pay on soils abounding in organic matter; on other soils its application is of doubtful util ity. 19. That subsoils do not germinate seeds or grow plants like surface soils. ■20. That early planting of cotton will not produce as much ns that planted later, when the ground becomes warm, and the plant is not retarded, but grows off vigorously and healthy. 21. That subsoiling cotton lands will pay for the extia labor on our city soils. 22. That one stalk in tho hill will produce more cotton than Two or more stalks. 23. That topping cotton is rather a detriment than uu advantage to the crop. 24. That cotton planted in narrow rows 2| feet wide, and fertilized nn • hin land, will p oducc mo e fruit than in wider r. ws uf a seasonable year. 25. That the difference between a rich ami poor soil is probab'y owing to the amount of avadablo nitrogen and phosphoric acid, held in soluble conditions with the humus or black matter resulting from decay of pianist in which there are always a sufficiency of tho other mineral elements. 20. That subsoiling land for corn will pay for the extra labor even of a seasonable year, much better ot a dry year. 27. That deep ploughing of corn dar¬ ings me seasons atlerston clay land, seems to answer as well if not better that shallow culture. 28 Tli at live by three feet is the ' c t distance to plant corn on medium 'and, of a seasonable year.

'I’he formal statement and demon¬ stration of tho rase of the Siamese twins, so far as investigated, at the special meeting of fjm College I’hy sicians, in Philadelphia, Wednesday night, are summed up as follows by the Philadelphia Telegraph : “The points settled by the examiu ation, thus far, are vastly important ; the supposition which has obtained extensive credenco among medical nvn, namely, that the band was aim pay of a fleshy nature, being decided Gie negative. A peritoneal eon action has been proved to £xDt bo tween the twins, that is to say, are Uectiyn or extension of the peculiar membrane lining the abdomen ex tend' >1 into the band, though it was not continuous.

This may loot like oddness in me, l ut it is mi senti* ments ennyhow. Mary hah a little lam. I wish good I had a little lam, and if I had a deal ov lam it woodii’t discourage me. Mary was a gobil girl—an ornamehi to her sekt. Mary’s lam was a good lam—an or¬ nament tew liis or her sokt, I tidii-'fc remember which. It iz plezent tew reflect that thezd things are stubborn fakts. V, hen a lam gits through being a lam, they immediately bekum a shoepr. This takes all the sentiment out ov them. There ain’t much poetry in mut* ton. Sheejt arc mutton. Mutton iz sometimes prekarious. H’hen youth an innoseuso ov enny kind grozo old, it loozes most its lamnoss This fakt is few well known tew require an affidavit. Tins 1am iz. an artikte of trade, az well az diet, they are worth from 4 td 10 dollars, alckording tew tlio way things anl. It iz strainge that so much iniid senso as the lam is possessed oi sliood bo for sale. It iz jist so with most till the innd-* sense and purity in this world—it iz too often brought to the shambles: I suppose if I kood hav my way* Ilio lam wood stop growing when it got tow l)e about 8 weeks old ; but then, knm tow think ov it, this wood make mutton awful skar.se. It wood also make lams dredful plenty. It would also make wolfs very much, for l hav ahvaze notissod since I begun bizzincss in this world that jist in proporshion az lams got numerous, wolfs got numerous ak« kordin.
