The articles of chief interest i the present number are a scientific essa on soil and their improvement, by ".

The editor invokes additiona support for his journal, both in the way o contributions to his pages, and names tc bis subscription list; and his appeal shoinh meet a ready response from both t he talen and liberality of our agricultural connu nity. It will really be a reproach to th planting interest, the great and paramoun interest of our essentially agricubtura State, if so useful ajournal shoultd be aban doned for failure of contribulions of cithe the penjor the purse-of mind or money. Charleston Courier. Agniculture Labor in England.-l t loo king over some English papers a short tion since, I saw it stated that in the Coutntic of Norfolk, Suffolk and HIaunts, wages ar< -1 75 a week,and in Dovonbhire S1 23. In the latter County the general food of ai independent laborers, as they are called is made of half barley meal with the husks ground in it, and the other half potatoes and they do not gct enough of that. '1he3 have gardens, and having donea long day't work for sufficient food, they are obliged to work in those gardens, for which they pay rent, to gain a little more food. 'I'iey have wood for nothing, that is, they have permission to grub up the roots of trees which have been cut down, andl which are found to be in the way. These indleynl dent laborers are beggars tlor their clotbes, and paupers when aillicted tby disease, needing medical aid. They live worse than the pauper in the poor house, and than the criminal in the gaol. For monmb.s no meat enters their houses.-Patrioi and Democrat. The Editor of the Providence Journal commune with his readers after the fulm w ing fashion. We will remind our readers of a very excellent practice which prevails with ni ny, of settling their newspaper bills at the beginning of the year. I is the only vay to get along comlirtably, for no man wii h half a conscience can ever read his news paper with any confort, unless be knows that it is paid fur. We know tiat we h:ve tib beat ist of aubascribcrs in the worldI. and that the only reason why some of them have not paid us for nearly three years is because they supposed we did not "ant it, mud that the motney wvould b~e an incum0 brance to us. Stuch we assure thetm is not the case. Int fact, we do not hesitate to say that, upon the whole, the money would be rather a convenience than othier wise, and we hope our word wvill be deem ed sufficient for this, without the endorse mient of a lawyer.

The Treasury Note bill was again un der discussion in 'the House to-day, in ) committee of the whole. Mr. James Garland, of Virginia, (the conservative) came out openly and expli 'f citly against all tho leading measures of the whig party-viz. Bank, Tariff. Distri bution, &c. ile concurs with them in one point only-the repeal of the Sub Treas ury, andi he wishes to fall back upon the State Banks, as the fiscal agents of the government. Y It is remarkable how much dissension has already appeared in the ranks of those - who brougit Gen. larrison into power. " But as yet, these gcentlemen. with all their r variant views, appear to tolernte this qti. 0 tude of opinion among each other, ani ac r cordingiy, to treat each other with due respect and kindness.

This paper. or as some call it. proelamationi, d celares that the people niilled tlie extra sessioti, when they willed *a new alminiiitration; and that the policy of Mr. Vain Buren must expire withi his term if otlice. This doc utiment is said to express ite opiniois of tle friends cf the new adtninistration in the Senate. The Iarrison members in the I lotse lial alo had a catneus on ite sub ject, bit were nat so well united, itt favor of the extra session. Arfler all, as old Mr. Adans said, the metbers appear to forget that they have no power to call an extra session or prevent one, lor the Constitu tion leaves that matter to the discretion tif lie President. lie must determine upon ihl ex pedientcy of convening Ccngress, af tea' a ftihi survey of the whole grouid, and roust act, in this respect, entirely upoa his own responsibility. There a ppears lit tle doubt, however, that General Harrison will see fit to convene Congress at a very early day. The coun try has certaiiily readied an imporaant cri sis in respect to ils policy. The land qies tion must be settled ; tle tarill'imust he re modelled; tle defieit inl tie revenue must he sttulied ; the hank question must lie lcciled; and the bankrupt qcestion must he diposed of.

Whatever ie de crepancies of opinion may exist I the whig ranks as'to some of the prosirive propositions, the public mind ma rest salisfied that, upon the final issne, 'her monious combination of interest, - the prosperity of the nation, will sup-cede any private consideration, and the Ral of the Anerien-n nation will be the- Itima thule it which all aspirations will be irect ed. Ofthe various gentlemen nard for cabinet positions, we hear of not who holds a stronger grasp upon the affxions or those authorized to speak, that your Senator, Preston. The mcmher from every section of the country regard im as the giant of whig principles, andwhen the peculiar talent of America is duded to by lhreigniers of the best discrimiatiou and ability, we hear it embraced a the trio of "Clay, Webster, atid Presto." The Senate was occupied until 4 'clock with the arguments inl favor of and gainst the government ceding her share of the Marylhod canal stocks to that State.There was not unusual ability displayed o- either sile.

The majority in favor of Mr. Wise's a tetdimenm t to tle Treasury note till, by which the issue authorized will amunt to ten milliong, is so decided, that it tust be takei as an indication of a desire, on the part of a majority of the House, t avoid an extra session.

There is no doult. as I earn, that the bill will pass the Scnate in Is present form, though Mr. Bienon will xercisc all his energy and iniluence against t.

Two of the tenants of the Jail of this t District, Mr. John flatcher and Joshua Hammond, took leave of their comforta ble quarters, on Friday night last, without much ceremony. It appears, that some kind friend, bird e of the same feather, no doubt, supplied a them with tools, an augur and chisel, by 6 the use of which, they cut off the lower n part of the door of the dungeon in which - they were confined, for " high crimes and d misdemeanors," and obtained admittance a into the debtors room. In similar man- c ner they took olf the lower part of the o door of this room, and secured a freo exit p from the prison. Hacher was for more than two years an outlaw, putting at defiance the efforts ofthe a public officers to arrest him, and eluding ( all detection with the dexterity and facili ty of a Seminole. lie was at length cap tured, and lodged in jail, a short time since, by means of the skill, energy and determination of our present Sheriff, Col. Christie, whose adtiniistration is likely to prove a great terror to all evil doers, in this community' r COUNTRY EDITORS. A cotemporary describes our life in the following quaint manner. t There nre few persons who suffer moret than country Editors-particularly, when well patronized. No Editor possesses much credit,among the funded community; and yet no Editor is without a host of in debted patrons, good, bad, and indifferent. t He is always rich in thought, and poor in I purse. Iis practical conception feeds the 4 paragraph epicure, and his confidence in the integrity of his patrons, frequently fills i his mind with promises, lines his stomach with kuawing worms, and makes him ex amine his pockets, to see wetiter they are moth-eaten. If a printer, his " begone dull care" pro pensities, induce him to purchase canvass back', when the flour barrel is empty; and if not a printer, his frustrated schemes I of ambition, are wearing the hair olf his head, b- keeping his brains inta hot b~ath.. , ).ndSeI u y -- u7 uIg so, t"h occutnes extravngant; and if he relies upon their puncttunlity, he bees blue ruin, on present ing his accounts. If he telies tupoa a par ty, heo becomes censorious, and his pre sumedtc independence leaves him, amidst tmrduous and exciting labors, with the pri vilege of sucking wind thr subsitence. If he be neutral in politics, he finds himself a nullity two-thirds of the year, and the coutntenattces of three-fourths ofhis patrons as nubiferous as the smoke ofa asixty horse power steamt eng'ine. If he dutns itn his paper, hi3 patrons consider it one of hisi most insipid origitnals; and if he dutns by special deptttation, his honest demands ex cite the indignation or revenge, of those whom he presumed were his friends. And, if he attempts to please every hody', pub lie opinion, very soon,'and very justly,gives himt the appellation of a ignoratmus. E T he Farmter's Regiser.-T lhe first num her of the ninth volume of this valuable c wvork has been received ; from its contents, we judge, that it wvonl be at desirable < work, for the use of Agrictilturists ; and w~outld therefore recommuendl it to all, whoi are directly or indirectly engaged in that useful pursuit, as a text book and guide. rThe young Farmer shtould have it, as the prtecepts laid downa in it, wvould assist him I in his first attempt, to secutre a permanent< and solid foundation for his future happi ness in his worldly concerns ; the old Far mler ought to have it, that he might be able, by reading it, of a long n'inter even-, ing, at his ownt fireside, to his' young sons, to impress upon their young minds, the good and well tried experiments, atnd suc cess attending such experiments, made by sotme of our oldest and tmost experienced AgriculItu rists.

Nevertheless, he was received by a con course ofcitizens and the Tippec:anoe blub. There was no military parade, but there were two bandsof music in the procession. The citizens escorted the General to the City HIall, where the Mayor of the city ad. dressed him in an apprepriate manner. The General, in reply, said, briefly, that had be not been warmly welcomed here. lie should have been disappointed, for he knew the people of this District well, and for a long time was on the most friendly terms with them. He should, as far as was in his power. protect and promote their intereqts and welfare. lie will remain here only two or three days, after which lie will go to Virgitnia. There was no business of interest in Congress to-day. In the Senate, the bank. rupt bill was again discussed. but uo ques tion was taken upon it. There seemed to be no disposition to push Ie bill, nor to bring tip any other subjects. The House went into committee on the bill making appropriations for navy pen sions. The question being on Mr. W. Thompson's amendment appropriating $100,000 for the purpose of fulfilling some stipulations made by Gen. Armistead with the Indians in Florida, whereby the war will probably be stopped. Bnt this matter was not referred to in the debate. Mr. Cooper, of corgia, who yesterday commenced a reply to Mr. Gid dings, of Ohio, continued his speech. Mr. Cooper went on to prove that ettizene of Georgia had not heen guilty of negro steal ing, but that citizens of Alaine and Ohio had. Many attempts were made to arrest the debate, but without success. From the Madisonian. TilE NEW SENATE.
