I say it is robbery. — Suppose I were to propose to my overseer to divide our postage between us, I writing a thousand letters, and he, perhaps, not able to writo one, for I have known such cases s it is not just. The policy of the Government for sixty years was that the men wbo write letters should pay the cost of thorn; that the men benefited should pay for the benefit; bnt when you got to the system of putting it on the gov ernment, it was done that the merchants, the manufacturers, the newspapers, the shrewd, adroit, skillful, and enterprising men, might levy pence out of poverty, to case themselves of the legitimate expense of their own business. That is tho. way it works, and it affects a man iii Maine as well as in Georgia. Itb not sectional. Yonmay try to get peo ple to go into it on the idea that it is sectional. The Netr Vork legislature may send a memo rial here against raising the rates of postage. The Senator from New Hampshire [Mr. Hale] the other day wanted to know if you were go ing to tnx the poor man in his State on bis let ters'. How is in fact ? He says he will not pay more than three cents postage. That is not enorifeli; and where dose the rest come from ? Out of the public Treasury; and who pays that ? All our taxes being levied, in the main, by dntics on consumption, it comes, ac cording to consumption, out of the rich and poor. There is no just relation between wealth ami consumption.' A poor man, with an in come of §500, may use more dutiable goods than I do. I know many neighbors, planters down iu Georgia, that defy your revenue laws, who do not buy a hundred dollars’ worth of “ store goods ” in a year. They make their own shoes and bats and blankets; their daugh ters weave their socks, nud their wives weave their cloths, They would beat yon all day at But take a man working in an vice for that sum, pay $700,000; but that you should, for political nnd commercial reasons, pay for keeping up a mail route by Panama and through Nicaragua, and through Tehaun* tepee, and for two or three overland routes besides, lias uot thn recommendation of wis dom or justice; it is not plain common sense. There is not a man in America who would manage his own business in that way. There is not a man whoso estate would not be taken from him and pat into the bands of commis sioners, if be managed his business in that way. He would be, to uso a polite torm, what the Scotch call an. innocent, favored of the gods, and who ought to be protected of all men. ; ,1 j. r . . Bringdown the Post Office Department, and awe some twelro'or fourteen million dollars. I have not gone through the various Depart ments, for I will not fatigue the Senate, and 1 have not the time. Now I will come to a single point upon this great question. My friend from Pennsylvania cares little about "the ex penditure ; he 1* not more concerned to main tain this expenditure than I am; he has no more concern that money should he improper ly expended than I have. I do not suppose he would vote for it any sooner than I would. I make no allegation of that sort; but there is another object which he thinks is to benefit his constituency. 1 do not -think so. Whether protection be right, or free trade be right, in my judgment, iu the main, it is as right iu Georgia as in Pennsylvania. I think the idea is a mistake wholly. There are incidental ad vantages in favor of tho manufacturer; but 1 cau carry wheat from Georgia to the iron foun deries of Pennsylvania cheaper than many farmers in tho western part of' Pennsylvania can carry it there. I think wc get seme in cidental advantages, if there be any. But the Senator imagines that, because the iron mong ers have raised this clamor, wc must increase the taxes. I do not believe the people of Penn sylvania have raised this clamor for protection. Why should it have arisen ? It has been al- this business. iron fouudery, who has to bny his sugar, his I ready shown, in the very able report of the cloth, and everything else that be uses, and who Secretary of the Treasury, that there was less either has to for them to the foreign mnnufactn- iron imported lost year than there had been for rer, ov who must pay an enhanced price for | many years before, and, therefore, there was them here. Probably many a man with an in- I very little foreign iron to come ipto com- comc of a thousand or fifteen hundred dollars petition with the Pennsylvania article. My a year docs not use more dutiable goods than a poor man who lives by his daily labor. I have seen it stated in the newspapers that a very worthy gentleman in New York, whom I have the pleasure to know slightly, pays 85.- 000 a year for taxes on realized property. He has no bigger stomach or broader back tban his coachman ; nnd it is a little doubtful wheth er he consumes any more rum, whisky, brandy, or broadcloth, than bis coachman. If he paid according to bis realized wealth, he would have to cousume nearly a quarter of a million of dollars’ worth of dutiable goods in order to pay his proportion of the public revenues. Of course men can only drink and eat and wear a certain quantity of dutiable goods, and there is n limit to it. .Most of our people arc well enough off to uso all they need; and they use very inncii tho same tilings. I think it is a bad plan in my friend from Pennsylvania, if bis laborers are distressed, to put new burdens on them. I would advise him not to put addi tional duty upon the sugar that sweetens their sngnred rum that solaces them in their mis fortunes ; but that is whnt be wants to do. Indirect taxes, ail taxes on consumption, arc unjust taxes, whether they are excise duties or impost duties. They toll terribly on labor. They lmvc destroyed the labor of Enrope, and they" will destroy yonrs, if you keep them up long enough. They arc unjust. They eat up the substance of the laborer, by taxing him for his necessaries. England, in this way, has destroyed her Inborers in Great Britain and Ireland, and they are fleeing to America, to Australia, to every portion of the earth, to get rid of uujust taxes. They do not operas* «, hard on our laborers, on account of the differ ent relation iu which they stand. I say it is unjust to levy postage out of the ordinary revenues of the Ilopublic, because it is a tnx upon those who do not write as well as thoa.i who do, and it ought to be put upon the business of the merchants and manufacturers, and those closes whose pursuits require them to write a great number of letters.

If I could to-day, 1 would cut off your 1'oat office department, at one lick from the-Government, and 1 should consider it the greatest service I should ever be able to render to my country.

There is some sense in Fourierism in preference to such a system. They divide their property equally, after allowing something for talent, and some- thirg for labor; but this is worse than hour- icrism. The great object of this scheme is car rying us back to the old rude system of Gov ernment that existed twenty centuries ago— that •• they should take who have the power, aud they should keep who can.’’ IV hen you get labor into such a partnership, you take the lion's share and leave it the bone.

Everybody knows the postal service can be done for half the money that you spend on it. 1 do not suppose that Adams & Co., have half the trouble to get employs* for their offices that tho Government bas. If a post master is to be appointed, several men from the locality spend two or three months in this citj\ aud there are various committees to urge the claims of this men and that man. After the appointment is made, there is sometimes K eat difficulty in getting the confirmation re; and they lmvc a good deal of trouble when they go home, to get securities. Men would not take so much trouble if they got only the rewards of honest labor. But a man wants sach a place because it is an office, and pays more than ho could get anywhere else; because it puts bim to fattening on the Govern ment, rather thau on his own industry; and he wants to get it that he may live without la bor from the industry of thoso wbo do labor. Gut the Post Office from the Government, and there will be an end of that. The Postm: -ter General requires $!>.o00,- 000 from the Treasury next year. I wiu not giro it; and. therefore, I hav °^fe Cy to provide for; I will not pay $2,400,000 for friend says, however, be wants to make better iron tban England; and he presents us statis tics to show that Pennsylvania iron does not lose more than six or eight per cent, a year in wear and tear, whereas British iron loses ten or twelve per cent. I tell him the safest place he can leave that question is with the railroad contractors. If he has not auy of them in his State shvpe enough, send them down to Georgia and they can work it out. They know good iron from bad; they know profit from loss. Send it down to a Georgia railroad pres ident and he will work it out for you. It is always safe to leave the quality of a commod ity to the man who is going to use it. Govern ment is tfie worst judge; for if anybody is to be cheated iu such a case, the Government is sure to be. But the Senator says be must have taxes to relieve the people. As I said, I am not going into that question. But he says bo will unite the two systems of ad valorem and specific du ties. The tariff of 1857 was founded on the idea of a revenue tariff, discriminating in favor of the industry of this country. It was a pol icy that met my support—a wise policy. The single question is, is it enough 1 1 ask my friend from Pennsylvania, is not twenty-five per cent, on iron enough protection ? Is not one fourth of the commodity to be seized by the Government which they have a right to do —twenty-five bars of railroad iron to the hun dred—enough to encourage the domestic man ufacture ? The school in which I was brought up as a protective Whig, was, that wc were to raise no more revenue than the economical vants of the Government required; and in levying tnai,r.. j™- f our in fant manufactures. Whnt for r TiSil •• - might divert capital into them, that we might irevent them from being crushed in their in ancy. Well, sir, when is the iron manufacture going to get grown T I want to know. That was the ground it was put on in 1842. I want to know when the iron interest will ever attain its ma jority. It has had, taking the fluctuations in duties and prices, as much as one hundred and fifty per cent, protection for forty-three years —from 1816 to this day. Have they 110't had enough experience in making irony Is it a very occult science? Has not the world gone on until it is made for half the price it was in 1816?, I think railroad iron ought not to be taxed at all; it ought to be free of duty, and I would free it to-morrow if my vote would do it 1 would not tax the transportation Of iny coun try. I would not tax the wheat and com of the agriculturist, that arc now down as low as manufactures. Look at the Northwest She raises nothing but rude product—millions of wheat, millions of com, millions of lumber, all rough, all cheap according to bulk; and she has the highest possible advantage in cheap trans portation both on land nnd on water. Why should vou tax her twenty-five percent upon the great element on which she transports her com modities to mnrkct ? I say it Is unjust; and if I have got to raise more revenue, I will not put it upon an article necessary to the transportation of eight lentlis of the labor of my country. I say, let it stand where it is, and you will soon find the thousands of millions of capital inves ted in railroads demanding theirrights, and they will enlighten you on free trade. They arc not going to stand this tax of twenty-five per cent, and you cannot hold it for three years. Look to it These thousands of millions of capital will no longer submit to the burden of twenty- five per cent, on iron, on their roads, the iron for which costs on an average $5,000 a mile, in order to support Pennsylvania iron man ufactures. They will say to them, “you have had forty years to learn how to make this iron, and we will not tax ourselves any longer for vour benefit f and they are right Mr. President I shall detain the Senate but a few moments longer on the question. 1 have stated that the tariff of 1857 was a tariff for revenue, discriminating for protection. It dis criminated largely. At the period wc found our revenues abundant, and we determined, to read just the tariirsvstem so as to lessen the revenues. My friend from Virginia and myself; and gentle men all over the country,with different views of protection and free trade, thought as the country was generally prosperous, as we must reduce our revenue, we were content that even advant ages should be had. The woolen manufactur ing interest said that we had allowed a duty of thirty per cent on wool, which had worked lianl on them; nnd they asked us to give them coarse wool free of duty, that they might com plete with England, and to put woolens in the highest schedule. W* did it; and they went on their way rejoicing. We dealt fairly by every branch of industry. The Senator from New Yoric, [Mr. SEWARi»,|tho representative, not of free trade, but of free soil and protection, was a member of tho committee of conference on that bill, and it received the approbation or his judgment. AH parties are committed to this policy. lYhst did you bring the revenue down to #50,- 000,000 for? Didyou not understand it? Did you not know what this tariff would bring in ? SVere you statesmen? Did you not know, what everybody else knew, that the reduction was sucli that it would bringdown the revenue on the same portations which you had the pre ceding year, and that you had to look to a grad ual increase of the importations for a gradual increase of revenue ? Yes, sir, you did under stand it; hut, because monetary convulsion has overtaken the country, and because protection entered into a State election, the whole world is to be disturbed; and our revenue system, which vou agreed upon as national settlement, is to be readjusted. I say it was a national settlement, because all sections harmonized upon it; and I congratulated the country at the time that Massa- chusetts and South Carolina, East and West. North and South, all united in favor of iL All the Senators in this body except eight, and two thirds of the members of an opposition House, deliberately said: “Wo will make thi* hereaf ter a financial question, not a party ; and iv«• the In-t fiscal , nr, more than StitUXXJ.IXMJ. 1 will put it on this basis," But now the Senator say then, you must retrench.

The honorable Senator from Pennsylvania complains of the mode, and prefers specific du ties. My opinion has been that specific duties were always the best rule. Thirteen years ago, the arguments which are now brought up were used by me against the act of 1847. I said it would give you the most revenue when _in ui! , y ~ you needed the leit; that it would give the ! 1,1 ultlm ately make tt necessary most protection when the least was necessary; ; \ and that, therefore, it was not wise to make a! n >■ . , , . „ uniform rule of,id valorem,.

But, sir, while I believe tlial upon Uianj articles spcvlflc Julio .. uul.l be better, the great majority of those, with whom I act, those who with me arc against raising the taxes, prefer the ad talorem system. Wc agree that the public burdens shall not be increased ; but they differ from me as to the manner of imposing them ; and as my great object is to prevent an increase of burdens, I shall yield to them the manner. I think it probable that at another time, with further ex perience, they may change their opinions on this point; but I can only look to those wbo are for ad valorem duties, to save the country from additional taxation. I am against addi tional taxation ; and therefore I act with those who are for the ad valorem system, rather than with those who are for specific duties; and wbo go for Specifics, not because thcy.are hot : lift becaCM- tli.-y urr wi-e.-t fur the rev enue, but for the purpose of increasing, the public burdens, for the purpose of raising the public taxes. If yotr presented mo a measure likely to meet the approbation of the country, wiiiclt did not propose to increase the public burdens, but simply to change the mode of collecting them, I should be for it; but the Senator from Pennsylvania says all he wants is a duty of twelve dollars on rails. I see by the accounts received by the last steamer, that rails were £610s. at Cardiff. Twelve dollars a ton duty is only a small matter of forty per cent, ad valorem on the present price, lie is not for raising the duties to a high point, but he sim- ily wants forty per cent, in place of twenty- our ! He only wants fifteen dollars a ton up on bars which were worth £6 6s. by tho latest advices from Europe. That is a small matter of about forty-five per cent. All he wants is a revenue duty with incidental advantages. He says “pile on the burdens; I will get the incident” That is the policy of the Senator from Pennsylvania. He begs for burdens. He does not go for protection for protection’s sake; he is for a revenue tariff, if be gets the incidents, and therefore the more weight the more incidents. That is the Senator’s doc trine. He is dying for the incidents. Give him taxes; give him burdens; make them as high as you pan; the greater tho burden the greater the incident; and therefore ho mod estly asks for from forty to forty-five per cent, on bars in order to get the incident. He will moke the salt worth more than the dish. 1 cannot stand it. I believe his colleague wants eighteen dollars a ton duty on bars. Mr. CAMERON. Oh, no. I take no part iu this. I am listening to the gentleman with great pleasure. It is a fight between tnum- bers of the dominant party. : Mr. TOOMBS. I can tell the Senator from Pennsylvania, wc have passed all that. This question has got beyond the point of party. I am arguing the question to American Sena tors, who, without reference to party, voted for the tariff of 1857. If a gentleman with tions on this great question I must meet him with arguments of principle. 5Iy friend from Penn sylvania says that he is for a revenue tariff, with incidental protection; but be will find that he can never carry, and Pennsylvania cau never carry, such a scheme as he favors— aud she may as well look it in the face—until she goes to the enemies of at least the Demo cratic organization in that State. -I have giv en you all the protection that I could ever a- gree to give under any circumstances. The country has passed that point. \Ve were a young country forty years ago; but manufac turers were feeble; we wanted skill, and we desired to devote it to manufactures; and iu layiug our revenue, we used it to build them up, and hare built them; and they will go on in spite ot croakers, in spite of convulsions, in spite of parties. Our manufactures, our agri culture, our commerce, are on a firm basis, and they will go on increasing and gathering strength every day, every decade, every cen tury It is a mistake to think of putting down manufactures. Certain men set themselves up as the peculiar friends of the manufacturers to get votes. They want to use them, Man ufactures are established in this country ; all the handicrafts are established; the great pow ers of. machinery are established. We have the skill, we have the education, wc have the experience, we have the capital; and strike down your custom-houses to day, and the iron interest in the United States will lire and flour ish everywhere, not only in Pennsylvania, but in Georgia, in North Carolina, in Tennessee, in Ohio, in New Jersey. You cannot stop it. You might as well attempt to pull down the stars or pluck out tbc moou. Some men seek to give themselves consequence by allying themselves with an interest which is truly great and immortal. I am content that it shall stand. I am content to go with you when the time shall come when you propose really to lay spe cific duties for the purpose of giving more at No. 129 Livingston street, Brooklyn.

Jlinchman and Miss Mary Morris De Camp. The grooms man on the occasion was a spruce young gentle man, Mr. IV nx Jackson, and the bridesmaid a lady worthy to stand with him. Miss Susan Hinchman. After the honeymoon was over the young couple settled themselves down into their appro priate sphere, having a good mixture of the good and tho bitter tilings of life, but always leaving that very good tiling in a family which is named love. With this even their bitter experiences were quite tolerable. In process of time ten children were added to their circle, all of whom are still living, and as time moved along their children married. The result ofthese marriages is twenty grandchildren. It is a very unusual circumstance that this circle has been exempt from theorisitations of death for more than thir ty years. We now come down to the period of the Gol den Wedding. On the 27th of December last venerable Barnabas King preached his fiftieth anniversary sermon to his people in Rockaway. Early in January a very beautiful card was sent to the especial frtdnds of tho family in the follow ing words. certainty, more fixedness, and to avoid frauds, which it docs. I admit that, as an original question by itself, ealerit paribus, I prefer it to all other modes; but I will not make it an excuse to levy thirty or thirty-five per cent, on woolens and forty ]5er cent, on iron. I say the policy of those with whom I now act—the Democratic party of tbc country, and of t?ie whole country—has been to bring down the expenses of the Government. By a union of all parties, and of divisions of all parties, lat terly. they have been carried beyond its legit imate sphere. Bring them down to legitimate expenditures, make them honest, make them efficient; bnt do not squander the public mon ey and then increase your revenues. A great majority of the southern people believe that every burden you impose, every percentage you lay, is injurious to their interests. It cer tainly enhances tho price of all articles they consume. Still they say they are willing to make that concession for common harmony, for common interests, and for common glory. Mr. President, I have before me tobies show ing the effect of tbc tariff of 1857, the tariff of 1846, and tbc trriff of 1842, upon our imports; and these tables, which have been prepared with great care, show one remarkable resnlt. They show that tho tariff of 1842 would not bring you more than $60,000,000 of revenue, although it laid duties of forty-five and one hundred per cent, and a great many specific duties. If you had collected the revenue un der the act of 1842, for every year up to June 30, 1657, you would not have got over §60,- 000,000. By the act of 1646, ou the basis of the same importations, you would get $51,- 000,000; and by the actofia57, $43,000,000. I say, then, neither the act of 1842, nor the act of -1846, nor the act of 1857, would sup port this Government, in an expenditure of seventy or eighty million dollars. The high est protective tariff you ever had, would uot give you revenue enough for the present ex penses, unless yon increase tbc imports; and would not favor that. You now pretend that vou want to alter the tariff, because, in the last disastrous year, it did not bring in money enough. The tables which I have, show that tbo act of 1642 would not have produced, for ing MB. AND MRS. JOHN K. HINCHMAN, At Homc. Wcdsetdan Evening, Jan. 3 So 10 o'clock. Jan. ISM, ISOS. ) \o. 129 IJrington street, Jan. toIk, 1859. J Brooklyn." The extraordinary combination of circumstan ces was made known at the house that evening, that not only were the bridegroom present, but that the officiating clergyman of the actual wedding, fifty years ago, was present also on the occasion of tho Golden Wedding. Besido these, there were three others present on the late occasion, who saw the marriage fifty years before. The marriage feast at the Golden Wedding was all that the most fastidious could desire. Tho Rev. Dr. Bcthunc invoked the blessing, alluding very beautifully to the aged couple, and to the way ‘they had “been led and blessed in their family and friends. ’ A stranger, look ing in at the cheerful scene, would have sup posed it to lie the nuptial feast of some young couple, so joyfully and happily did the hours flow on. When this important part of the oc casion had been attended to with all becoming propriety, the large company adjourned to the parlors to engage in another scene still more in teresting. Here the excellent pastor of “the observed of all observers.” the happy couple, was the organ of communication between them and their diil- dren and children's children. Turning to tho bridegroom, he handed him a splendid gold watch, with chain and seals, and read the fol lowing note: To Father: A loken of our affection. May it lung be his companion, and mark the time for him through ms ny years of health and happiness, sur rounded by his children, a united family. -if/rook/yii, Jan'y 19th. 1859.” lows- on the watch itself Is as fol- To J. C. Hinchman,from his children, on t*e m* anniversary of his teedding." On the movements of the watch was inscrib es! : “Manufactured expressly for the donors, by A. La. Fargo, Geneva.” Mr. Van Dyke then presented to Mrs. Ilinch- man a purse of gold, and read the following note, indorsed "To mother. "To onr mother, atso, wo present our gift—in that which, pure in ilself and imperishable in its nature, is a fit emblem of our love for her. May her years with as still be many—os bright, peaceful and serene as this day. In which we celebrate the union of our parents—January 19,1859, With this was a second purse of gold dollars, with this note, indorsed: " To Grandmother. “Our little lore tokens for the golden time. May we love her as we ought, and learn to practice her virtues f In addition to these golden presents, was a magnificently-lmund copy of the Testament and Psalms, in which was the following inscrip tion : 'A token to Mr and Mrs. J. K. Ilinobman, Jams ary 19,1859—their Golden Wedding. “May you and all yon love inherit the wedding garment of a Golden Eternity—the nnspeakable gift herein bequeathed to a dying world.” The officiating clergyman read the notes which accompanied these present, and in a very happy strain added a few words to each, and then dosed the scene by a very tender prayer for the aged couple, “that their years might be pro longed, and Hint they might “at last meet all their diildren and children’s children in tho better land where there is no parting.” As the striking scene gradually transpired and finally closed in so appropriate and beauti ful a manner, many eyes were suffused in tears, and many lips murmured a heartfelt blessing on the couple so extraordinarily favored. There were two magnificently frosted cakes on the table, which must not be overlooked. One of them had in large letters the names of tfie persons married, their attendants, and tho ctergyman who solemnized the marriage. On the upper edge was inscribed, “Jan. 19, 1809,” and on the lower edge, “January 19, 1859.” Between these were the names as follows, viz.: J. B. Hinchman, Mart Morris De Cant, Bev. Barnauas King, W«. Jackson, Susan Hinchman.” The second cake had in the center inscribed, “Jam 19, 1809.” The space outside the center was divided into ten apartments, on which were inscribed the names of the daughters and daugh- ters-in-law, except that the clergyman has not yet pronounced on "Frank’s wife." The ten spaces were tilled with the names of “Lesbia, Louisa, Busan, Nancy, Cornelia, Elizabeth, Mary, Anna, Julia, and “Frank’s wife.” The groomsman. Win.

The sales of the week were 10,000 bales Warlike Preparations and Pros- PECT8. Rumors of impending war continue to cir culate in Paris, and letters from that city say that extensive warlike preparations are mak ing. The general impression is that Europe has approached a momentous crisis. The Paris Buiir.-e is sen-drive, aud securities are fluctuat ing. . England is exerting herself for peace, and it is believed that upon her attitude will de pend the question of peace or war. The British Government, however, is preparing for the worst, and ha3 given out large contracts for gunpowder and cannon lyn, is yet as lively as a boy, although 70 years old, anti can outwalk one half of our modem beaux, and all the survivors of that Jong distant wedding are in extraordinary health for persons of their age. To help the occasion along, the weather for several days was charming. Never did Winter give kindler smiles than on the oc casion of the Golden Wedding. As the largo circle of friends looked on the couple, wc suppose many of them thought tliat the gentle and lov ing woman, the bride of the Golden Wedding, might have adopted as her own, the words which genius puts into the lips ol another loving wo man: “Jolm Anderson, my jo John, We clamb the hilt the githcr. And mony a canty day, John, We've had sri’ ane anither; Now we maun totter doun, John, But band in hand we'll go. And sleep the githerat the foot, John Anderson, my jo." Salt and its use to Gardeners.' In another part of this paper, a correspondent speaks of common salt as a chief agent in his successful cultivation of tho turnip. The em ployment of salt as a manure is so little under stood, and at the same time the reports of those who have used it, in the majority of cases, speak s-, favorably of its action, tliat it is well worth ex tensive and varied experiments by horticulture ists. We think its chief power lies in its hy- dropical qualities; or, to speak more plainly, its capacity for imparting moisture to the soil, than to any inherent fertilizing property. Thus whatever contains salt, will always be damp and nothing more is important to the cultivator in many cases, than that his soil should retain •t rortaw seasons, a uniform degree of moisture. We recommended a friend who was lay ing down a lawn last spring, on a naturally dry soil, to sow a portion of it with salt before putting in the seed, and the difference between it and that not so sown, in the green color of the: former during the past dry season was very striking. Salt, in dry soils, has been for some years past, admitted to be a valuable means, of increasing the fertility of an asparagus bed, which is doubt less principally owing to the moisture, it is able to afford to tho succulent stems of that plant There is a wide field open for its appli cation. Pears and quinces, gooseberries and currants, and some other fruits which dear ly love to be in a dry soil, but near moisture; tender-rooted plants, such as natives of New Holland and the Cape of Good Hope, which must have a regular supply of moisture at the roots to enable them to get through our dry summers, and yet will not bear constant arti ficial watering; succulent growers, as gerani ums and calceolaria, bulbs, and many other kinds, would no doubt be vastly benefitted— In cases where a humid atmosphere is required gooseberry t/Wk KMuHVmliSfe? atmosphere surrounding it so regularly moist, as to insure a perfect crop in cases otherwise ndcred futile by mildew. Admitting air byr side lights into cold vineries, by suddenly chang ing tiio hygrometric conditions of the atmos phere, is now so well known as being one of the chief causes of mildew in grapes, that side ventilation is abandoned by some of our cultivators. By placing salt canvass over the apertures, the advantages of the air might be obtained, without its concomitant disadvantages. Experiments are wanted from gardeners. Ag riculturists arc rather ahead of us in its appli cation though they seem still unacquainted with its mode of action.

Dear Sir: I have received yours of 21st ult-i and contents noted. The Journal has not yet arrived—you had p.—iUy I*.tin- mail another. It would be difficult for me to state what the keeping of five Merino sheep would be worth in Georgia—that in a great measure would depend on the market for wool and mutton. Here, 1 should think five Merino sheep, not extra kept, but reasonably kept, may pay as follows: 20 lbs wool at 40 cents, ’ $8 00 Increase in value of five sheep, 7 50 $15 60 That is, supposing the sheep were purchased after shearing, and kept one year. Or, take a- nothcr view of it: say keep a|ewe stock, say five ewes raising Lambs might give, without be ing extra kept— 17 j lbs of wool at 40 cents, $7 00 Say four lambs from from five ews, which would bo a low per centagc for tho lambs, 8 00 DEPARTMENT.

The Merino sheep are the healthiest sheep I ever saw ; they seldom die but from age or poverty. Occasionally I lose some when fatten ing for Spring market, but never over one per cent, and some winters none. When high fed some will die. I have done well in keeping sheep, both as a regular stock, and also by buying in the Fall, and fattening for the Spring market, keeping them from four to six months. If I had Sum mer pasture enough, I would prefer buying in lean weathers after shearing, and keeping a year and then selling for mutton. They would then average CJ pounds of wool—the better they are fed the better they pay, at least with me. I have over five hundred that are now fat. It would require very good land to keep five sheep to the acre the year round. I should doubt you bavo none in Georgia would do it If five could bo kept to the acre, and them thoroughly, it would pay better than anything else, as the land would be improving wonder fully every year. If you have a market for mutton, a bushel of com to each sheep during winter, would pay well; you would get one and a half pound more wool per sheep; and then the sheep here would be worth a dollar more to tho butcher, and even to keep over to feed another winter. If a ewe stock, you could calculate on ono and a half pounds more wool for a bushel of com, and twenty to twenty-five per cent more lambs. I have often raised a lamb to every ewe when high fed, and Merinos seldom have twins. Now take the average of this State, I doubt if over the half of lambs is raised, to the number of ewes.— con ’ South Countryman.
