Wo publish Ibis week extracts from this bold
rigorous speec as delivered in lbs Fc !tffbl
Congress. It is refreshing to see the truth
% ? -fearlessly proclaimed and to rend sentiments
? ?thelio In spirit and redolent ofa?>und
fbttgmont and derated appreciation of the true
* ?aditiaa sf things. It i* no superficial acain
tag or passing events or their future results.
WUh a philosophic sye he surveys the past and
pnstit history of this bloody war, logically
ami ap its ftenrful c^u tqucuces mid with a
oral heroism utsurpassed,*enunciate** Ijh solemn
canvictioas of their truth. No wonder it
^ aticred^ha hile of the Black Bepuhliuaus. We
re not astonished thst it f-ll like a thunderbolt
among the:u. Net surprised that Uiey
erswdsd his heelsJ}liko liuugry curs. Not
sasnd at their wriggling*, agitations and tcrgivinetions.
Tha tuts of censure which they
v passed, was a shift, which they alone would re sort
ts wader the stinging sensations which its
rrwth and bold delivery pro.laced. Instead of
meeting manly argument by argumsn', they
bad recourse to a vote gd expulsion first nud
thereafter, to % vota of censure which evinces
la ka rastiU that the spir.t of trnth still holds
a ttifhl dominion ovar the Congress ot Abraham
Limeehe. The most pleasing teaiure iu the
speech, aside from ths sovere thrusts which
Kentucky received, is the reception by h:i#of
the truth that no party can favor rccenstructhai
we must acknowledge ilio independence
of the South or e&termiuate the whole
rvoe. This is the true doctrine. I.et the North
h nmi say m?kod ws are content War

A fVisnd writing from Clinton to the (itinrdiao

suggestion : '*1 hare found that exposing
Sorgho ijjrup in rery shallow vessels to the
air causes it to erystalice, or form sugar. This
has been done in a small way only. When I
bare carried tbe experiment further, I may repert
results herssfter. In the meantime others
might be trying the experiment. Success
would be' n great aehierement just now."

Prupogttfieu by Cutting*. c
In view of the scarcity of seeds of all h
kinds, let me surest to your readers an
easy moile of projiogttiug Irish potatoes v
and tomatoes ; 1 tuean by cuttings. Whet) [
I the potatoes hnvo cuuie out of the cart h
j three or four inches, on a rainy day or
i after n shower take up all the roots ex- ?
j cept the one which i* to remain, and set "
tlictn out as you would tomatoes ar cab- h
i bage plants, or sweet potuloe drawers ? |
'Jhey will grow and bear as early as those
that are left cn the potafoe. It vou wish k
I to incense your Irish pjtntoe crop still ??
more, wlion the bush sommencet to branch 1
out cut or break a number of these bran- 1
ches from four to six inrhes long, ind set ?
them out as it they had roots to them. ?
They will grow readily, and will bear j>o ?
tutocs later than the others. Cuttings of j
the tomatoes also grow very readily. t
In transplanting cabbages, tomatoes o
and other plant* liable to destruction by c
the grub or cut worm, a bit ot paper u
wrapi cd around the stem previous to plant- t
ing, and extending an inch or uior . above a
the surface ol the soil, will eflvcfnallv 1
protect them. All farmers or garden* ( 1'
kneir what ravages they can commit, ins?
the spring especially. This simply pro b
cess, requiring very little additional trou ?l
i ble, will savo much disappointment and
| labor of replanting. The paper can re
