A Tlie Seventeenth Volume of this Journal,
M EF,D opens with such inducements to all Farmers,
O Gardeners, and cultivators of even the small-
i x REE est Plots, (ladies of course included), as have
j never been offered before by the Publisher of
this orany other Journal, to-wit:
( YOOP The Agriculturist is enlarged to 32 Double
J Quarto Pages in each number.
|_>UUE Six of the best practical Cultivators in all

1 JREE Over 3'KLbenatiful, instructive engravings

The January number has 75 instructive ar-

Yet tremble to avow.

Indian Interview with the President
The specimens of Indian eloquence at
the late interview with the President were
unique and peculiar. Eyery one knows
that the red men are great orators, fond
of the sublime and terrible, "“possessing
great aptitude in illustrating their meaning
by similitudes from the various objects
of nature. They are as fond of a talk as
members of Congress, but thej* talk with
more pith and point, and execute or
atorical tlourishes with more dignity and
grace. Red Jacket, the famous Indian
Chief, whose tongue and tomahawk once
kept the Xorth western frontier in a con
tinual state ot terror, was a Patrick Henry
in eloquence, and could sway the souls of
his braves with his persuasive breath as
the tempest heaves the waves of the deep.
There is something in the simplicity, con
ciseness and comprehensiveness of Indian
speech-making that commands our respect
After listening to the verbose and vapid
harangues of effeminate, selfish, and diso
lute pale faces in Congress, it is refreshing
to hear the natural voices and ideas of these
children ot the woods, these men of vigorous
bodies and unsophisticated souls, who say
■what they have to say in just such words
and only so many of them, as are necessary
to express their meaning. We recommend
the two minute speeches of these Pawnee,
Ponca and Pottawatomie orators as models
for Congressional imitation.
Each of these Pawnees, Poncas and
Pottawotomies manages, without unneces
sary expenditure of gas, to say what he
wants, and that want is—Money. They
say they are very poor, and that their
“Graudfatliei*,” as they call him—old Mr.
Buchanan—is very rich. They are glad
to see him living in a splendid house, and
happy to find that he is not poor like them.
They manage in a short space to say many
agreeable things to Mr. Buchanan and the
white race. One orator tells “Old^Buck,”
“I think you are like the Great "Spirit,”
and they alMSeem to agree that “a white
man can do anything and make anything.”
The manly manner in which these savage
orators admit that ■white is a better color
than red, an d submit to it without grumbling,
because God willed it so, raises our respect
for them, and ought to bring a blush to the
cheek of the despicable wretches in this
country whose whole business in life is to
make a much inferior race to the Indian,
envy and hate white people. We have no
doubt that these sensible savages, in the
hunting grounds, beyond the grave, will
become white men, for they deserve it.
The following is the best speech made
in tho interview with the President. The
speaker was Wah-gae-ash-pi, (the whip,)
a hard looking old Ponca, who wears a
pair of horns on his hair dress. If any
white man can present “the points” bettfer
than the Ponca, or crack a whip with more
emphasis on the coal question, he had bet
ter try it:
“My Grandfather: I call you grandfather
for no other reason than this: God made me
of one color and you of another; but God
was partial to you, and made you of a bet
ter color. You came into existence, and
so did I. It was the will of the Great
Spirit that we both came into existence.
We have never had a chance to see our
Grandfather until this time, and I am very
glad you asked me to visit you. It was
the will of the Great Spirit that made
you more powerful than me; it was the will
of the Great Spirit that you should take
this land from us—this land that you stand
on to-day belongs to me. Y"ou are a man.
my Grandfather, and so am I. Every
thing that you have made. Grandfather,
is worthy of attention—is worthy of look
ing at. There is one thing that attracts
the eye more than anything else, and I
hope you will give me plenty of it—money!
We want money my Grandfather. With
it we can get anything we want. We do
not want goods but if you give us money,
we can buy what we please, and it lasts
longer. My Grandfather, we want all the
tools of the white man. We want the
blacksmiths, the farmers, the millers, &c.,
to live with us, and hope you will open
your hearts to us to-day. My Father, I do
not speak from the end of my tongue, it
comes from the bottom of my heart, and I
hope that what you say will come from the
bottom of your heart.”
The President’s reply was a very good
specimen of imitation Indian, and con
tained much excellent adv : ce. He told
them they had become poor because they
had devoted themselves to the chase and
to war, and, if courtesy hau permitted, he
might have added, firewater. The pale
faces have destroyed more Indians with
New England rum than tomahawk, bull«t
and plague. If these respectable savages
will go home, work hard, and hang every
low white man who comes among them
peddling whiskey, they will stand some
chance of preserving the remnant of their
race from annihilation.—■Dispatch.

Many persons appear to suppose that the down'
ward tendency in the prices ot nearly every article
of produce and merchandise is owing entirely to
the financial revulsion, and that we insy therefore
look for a return to the old rates as soon as tho
money market becomes a little more settled. A
▼ery little examination will show the fallacy of this
theory, as we can trace the rise in the market value
of piodace in nearly every case to something be
sides a plethora of money, and can find the causes
of tbe decline farther back than fbe- panic which
was first felt after the beginning ofautumn. Itis
true that the change has been more rapid, and, in
most cases, more radical, in consequence of the re
vulsion, but the causes were at wotk long before
the excitement in the money market was first
chronicled. Take the article efsugar as an illus
tration. Owing to several successive failures in
the Louisiana crop, the imported article had the
monopoly of the market, and tlie consumption,
stimulated by the previous low prices, gained upon
the production and rapidly reduced the stock.
Speculation stepped in, and added its influence to
increase the apparent scarcity, by withdrawing a
portion of the supply from the market. The result
was that the price of good Cuba sugar slowly ad
vanced from tonrand a half to five cents, atwhich
rate the consumption bad been enormous, to ten
and a half to eleven and a half, where it was nomi
nally maintained for several months.
We caution our readers against relying upon this
as a price to he supported iu the face of the bel
ter crop promised from Louisiana; and it is ap
parent to all disinterested observers that this value
must have declined even if there had been no
severe pressure in the money market. The frost
which has again cut off twenty or twenty-five per
cent, of the domestic production might have saved
a portion of the fall, but nothing could have main
tained the old rates, rates, even though the crop of
Louisiana had again failed. As it is the domestic
yield for the current year is set down at from two
hundred and twenty-five thousand to two hundred
and sixty thousand hogsheads, and now that wo
have only begun to receive the new sugar, tho
price of choice Cuba has fallen from eleven and a
half, the highest rate of the last year, to seven and
a fourth, the current price iu this market yesterday.
The same thing will hold true of breadstuff's. The
successive failure of the crops throughout most of
Europe, gave an unusual export demand in this
c mntry, at a period when, from various causes, the
home production had been somewhat reduced;
ana the war in South-eastern Europe created a
largo consumption at all Mediterranean ports,
while it shut up tho sources of supply from coun
tries bordering on the Black Sea.
Under this state of things, common State flour,
the standard for export, although below the grade
most used for home consumption, sold in this mar
ket as far back as May, 1855, at ten dollars and
fifty cents per barrel, and choice family grades
were taken at wholesale as high as thirteen dollars.
Since that date, and especially duriqg the last
year, Europe has been recovering from its depend
ence, the crops aboard havo improved, those who
were buyers have now some surpuls to spare, new
sources of supply have been opened, and produc
tion stimulated by the high rates. In the face of
this^lecrcased demand front this country, the crops
have been abundant’ here, leaving us a large sur
plus to export. These causes must have led to
lower prices had there been no financial earthquako
to expedite the leveling process. Europe cauuut
be wholly independent of this country in this
respect, and the West Indies, South America, and
Australia, must each take a portion of our abund
ance; but the partial demaud to which the trade is
likely to be confined must prevent our dictating
prices, and we must now sell at competing rates
instead ofcontroling the market. The producers
who saw this matter in the light in which it was
presented iast summer aud foil, aud took tho
earliest opportunity to dispose of the product of
their harvest, have no occasion now to censure
those who gave them such advices, although it
might have been unpalatable at the time. The
superfine State flour which less than three years
ago, ruled for a little while at ten dallars and fifty
cents per barrel, can now be replaced of freshly
ground wheat in equal quality at four dollars and
thirty cents per barrel, while very choice Michigan,
Indiana, aud Ohio double extra brands can be
bought at wholesale for six dollars and fifty cents a
seven dollars per barrel.
We unght carry the illustration much farther if
there were any occasion for additional proof, but
what lias been said may be sufficient to show that
prices must have declined, had there been no dis-
astrious crisis in financial affairs. The fall might
have been more gra lual, but the reaction was cer
tain. Cotton has suffered more than any other ar
ticle of produce considering the magnitude of the
i ,t‘rests involved, but this was predicted, long be
fore the panic in Wall street. The fall in prices in
this staple within a few months up to the first week
in January, 1858, was nearly fifty percent., but the
market heie has recovered one and three-fourths
of a cent since that date. The lowest quotation was
about January 2nd. when Middling Upland was ra
ted at eight and three-fourths; the price yesterday
was ten; but on the 21th day of August the same
quality was quoted at fifteen and three-fourth cents.
Wool has fallen off about thirty per cent., and raw
silk is quoted in Europe at fifty per cent, decline
in the medium and lower grades. Pork has de
clined forty per cent., or a still gteater, proportion.
Real estatejhas begun to feel the same influence,
and there is nothing of material value, which can
escape the undermining tide, unless some peculiar
circumstances shall make it, for the time being, an
exception to the general rule.
YVe have not made these comparative statements
for the sake of depreciating the value of property,
but to show the true tj^ndation on which our pros
perity must be oneetnore renewed. Money i3
daily growing plentier, and it is likely to become
abundant, and consequently cheap. In this stato
of things thelow prices atwhich all other proper
ty is held, will once more tempt capital into active
employment. No amount of glowing prophecy
concerning the good times coming will induce
those who have suffered so deeply to enter into
fresh engagements, until they are sure that “things
have found their levei.” At the present time the
average reduction in values is between forty and
fifty percent., and we have already sufficient evi
dence that with many products, prices have
“touched bottom.” Others must decline still
farther, but a large proportion have evidently- ap
proached their lower limit. This, instead of being
an indication of evil, is the most hopeful sign of a
happy change not far distant, when all traces of
past disaster will be eradicated by the channels of
afresh activity.
Importance of Good Transplanting:—A cor res*
pondent of the Genesee Farmer states that he pro
cured twenty dry and shriveled peach-trees last
spring of a nurseryman who had dug them up ear
ly in the spring and heeled them in, and briug
“culls” 1rad remained unsold. They were set out
about the time that peach-trees in the nursery row
were coming out in full leaf. They were treated
in the following manner: The bruised roots were
pruned off, the tops closely shortened in. so that
they might correspond witn the reduced roots.
They were carefully set iu holes made about two
feet across and eight inches deep. The earth was
well filled in among the interstices, settling it
with water poured in. They were then freely
mulched with strawy manure. Every one lived
and made “an extraordinary growth,” while one
in the same rows treated in the common manner,
(which we suppose means unshortened and uti-
mulchcd,) did not live through half the summer.
The peach tree, mure than any other, needs very
free shortening back in setting out. We havo
succeded better with trees three or four years
from the bud, or twieo the ordinary size, than with
the year trees without this treatment. There is
no other tree, that is more sensibly affected with
good after culture—for example, after being set
well, give it mellow cultivation the same season
throughout, (or mulch it heavily with coarse ma
nure,) and it will send out shoots about three feet
long. Give it no cultivation or mulching, nor
shortening back, and let tlie earth become hart!
and grown up with weeds, and tlie shoots will
not be more tliaji three inches long. This experi
ment is worth trying by any one who donhts it, on
alternate trees in a row, or ou alternate rows. YVe
are willing to let any one who prefers or practises
trie old system of neglect, select from any nursery
the finest peach trees that ever grew, and give
them his favorite treatment for two years; and wo
take the poorest “culls” that were ever discarded
as worthless, if they only have‘life in them; and
