Kinard, Nowborry O. H.;;jas. Grant, Union; Julina Poppe, Anderson G. H. PRACTICE VS. THEORY.-Mr. Reverdy John, on hns been berated, in Congress and ont o? it, for having made concessions in the Clarendon-Johnson convention, which involved a surrender of advantageous points on our side; but if it were true, he might retort, that no blunder alleged against bim bas played as ofTcctually and opportunely into the hands of tbe astute English nego? tiators as what has taken place in Congress itself. Tho Clarendon treaty is to be re? jected, because it does not go far enough in its exactions of Great Britain for recogni? tion of belligerency in States containing 10.000,01)0 of people, who maintained them? selves for nearly four years after that recog? nition, concerning which Mr. Seward for? mally announced to our minister at tho British Court, in his despatch of April 10, 1861, that if the Southern States seceded they could not be recovered by conquest; and adding, emphatically, that this Federul Republican system of ours is, of all forms of government, the very one most unfitted for such a labor. Those and the Alabama operations are the ground of complaint. Yot there is a Congressional committeo ac? tually sitting in Washington to-day to dis? cuss the question of conferring upon tho President authority to recognize Cuba whenever a de facto government is estab? lished, to say nothing of the propositions which have been before Congress to recog? nize the Cuban rebels as belligerents, to "protect" Cuba, to recognize the Fenians, Ac. A proposition giving sympathy or mo? ral support to the Cretans was actually adopted, since which timo the Cretans have caved in, and our sympathy and moral sup? port, which ought to be industriously hus? banded, in view of our being expected to supply with thoso commodities all the rebels in tho world, outside our own country, has been wasted and thrown away. How long is it since two of our iron-clads, under nu enabling Act of Congress, wero sold to Peru, then at war with Spain? That friend of Theodoras, Senator Chandler, who want? ed to "recognize" his Abyssinian majesty, has also his sbaro of responsibility for weakening the force of our argument against Great Britain. Is not Spain at this moment complaining of the filibustering expeditions alleged to be leaving our shores for Cuba? If we do or connive at such things ourselves, at the very moment we aro arraigning others and demanding reparation for identical acts, do wo not weaken to that extent our own cause, unless we assume the preposterous pretension that what is wrong in others is right in ns? If it is important to have the public opinion of the world with ns in those questions at issue between us and Great Britain, whioh must be sub? mitted, in the end, to the arbitration of some foreign power, we ought to como into Court with the moral weight of a practice in conformity with our theory.-Baltimore Sun. -o A DISTINGUISHED RADICAL PRONOUNCES THE GOVERNMENT A FAILURE.-If I should say to anybody that, it is my deliberate judgement that this Government has failed in tho object that it was intonded by its projectors to secure, I suppose I should be scouted at. But, sir, when I compare the situation of this country to-day with the situation of that country from wheoco wo sprung, I find that not only in capital, but in generul intelligence, in education, in liberty among tho people, they fur exceed tho privileges and the power of thc people ? of this country. They arc increasing in n ratio which is most astounding in educa? tion and in all the refinements of life, aa the statistics show. And where aro we? All we baye to help ourselves in tho world is our cotton, which we are about to lose, and our tobacco, which we shall lose. [Senator Sprague. -o Hu.s'HARY.-Tho latest foreign mails an? nounce that serious election riots have taken place in various parts of Hungary, in which many persons wero hilled aud wound od. Tho Hungarian press still opposes vio? lently the presumed designs of Prussia, anfl advises the Southern States of Germany to form a Southern Confederation. It also accuses Prussia of trying to unito Hungary to Germany. -o A white woman named Mabb was mur? dered by a negro who had boeu living with her near Saratoga, recently. The murderer gave himself up, and is now in jail. THE NEW ORDER OF THINGS-CIT?SE CUL? TIVATION.-We are glad to observe that tho mistaken idea of "pride of acres" is being gradually dispelled throughout the middle and Southern States, and that the cultiva? tors of tho soil are beginning to realize from experience that small farms, with good tillage and a liberal use of manure, are tho surest means of success. And this result may be attributed to the changed labor sys? tem of these i-cctious, and tho spirit of their agricultural press. Now, if we expect our land to yield abun? dantly, wo must feed it well-feed it, too, before it gets hungry, and rest it ero it bo comes weary, as an eminent English agri? culturist onco said. There is also a great deal in the manner in which we apply fer? tilizers. Dr. Voelcker, chemist to the Boyal Agricultural Society, has established the fact that all manures are better applied upon the surface, to bo washed iu by the rains, than turned under by tho plow. You should also study the nature of your Boil, so as to know what manures to use. Now Peruvian guauo has ammonia in excess, whilo tho Orchilla possesses valuable phos? phates and alkaline salts-hence a great value when combined. A standard super? phosphate is tho giant inanuro, being bono phosphate coucontrated with sulphuric acid, producing tho solublo phosphoric acid-the chemical constituents of which absorbs ammonia from tho atmosphere. "Rhodes'" is, wo believe, rocoguized as a "standard super-phosphate," and being manufactured on a largo scale, eau be sold to tho farmer ut a much lower price than he can produce it for himself. A farmer should select standard ingre? dients and combine for himself-it being well known that nmmouia and phosphates are tho leudiug properties to be obtained in sufficient quantities for agricultural usc the other ingrediouts of plant food being furnished by tho soil nud atmosphere. So much for manures. Another idea be? fore closing. Wo contend that the diguit} of agriculture should be recognized by tho young men of the country who should adopt it ns a profession. Avoid tho crowded cities and towns to engage in tho uncertainties of commercial life. Remember that, if agri? culture is allowed to languish, that being the true basis of the nation's wealth, dire confusiou in every other pursuit must inevi? tably follow. Attend well to tho fountain from which flows all our prosperity, and wo will hear less complaiut about hard times and nothing to do. Finally, wo urge upon young farmers the importance and value of credit-which is equal to capital. Let a "farmer's noto" not be a by-word with banks and money-lenders, but representing substantial security. [Rural Gentleman. -o See how six of tho Sonthern States are represented in the Senate of the Forty-first Congress: Alabama-Willard Warner, of Ohio; George E. Spencer, of New York.

This is giving the Southern people representation in tho Fed? eral Government.-New York Express. -o MURDER.-On Sunday aftornoon, Frede? rick Knittall, nged nineteen, visited Augusta Becker, of the same ago, his betrothed, at Newark, N. J. About o P. M., after they had been together in tho parlor for some hours, n pistol shot was heard, and Miss Becker's mother and sister coming in, found her lying on tho floor, shot in tho head, und saw Knittall running through tho hall towards the back door, carrying a revolver. Another shot was hoard, and Knittall was found dead near the door, shot in tho head, and tho revolver lying near him. The mur? der and suicide aro attributed to jealousy. Miss Becker was living at 0 P. M., though ur iouscions, and without hopo of recovery. The parties were of respectable standing. -o ANNEXATION IN HAYTI.-Admiral Hoff, of oiir home squadron, reports to the Govern? ment that General Domingoe, tho rebel chief in the? South of Hayti, asked for the intervention of tho commander of tho United States steamer Yuntic, when Salnavo was threatening to bombard Aux Cayos, on tho ground that ho had written to Mr. Sow? ard, proposing to j:.mex his end of tho island to tho United States.

Special Notices. THE S?EDS OF SICKNESS-Baron Mun? chausen, tolls a atory of a post-boy's horn, which had a number of wicked tunes blown into it 0110 frosty night, but mado no response. Neverthe? less, when it was hung before a hot Ure, the tunca, which had beeu fror.cn iu, thawed out, to tho amazement of all present. Just so the human system, subjected to injurious influences during the winter, sometimes givo no token of tho effect they have produced upon it, nntil tho moist at? mosphere of spring developes their fruits. Many spring diseases are the result of winter impru? dences, and great and especial care should bo taken of tho system in thc cold season, so that it may bo in a Bound and vigorous condition when thc malarious fogs of March and April make their appearance. To this end, strengthen tho stomach and tho general organization at this season with HOSTETTER'S RITTERS. Take thiB pleasant vcgotablo antidoto in advance of tho uprising of the mophitic mists and vapors, which produce chills and fever, and other miasmatic diseases. Remember that it is a preventive medicine-aa powerful to protect as to restore. Tho stomach is apt to bo overtaxed at this time of the year. It is a period devoted to dinner and supper parties, and luxurious living generally. Feasting and late hours weaken the digestivo organs and disorder the livor. Tho effect of the Bitters is to invigorate tho one and regulato tho othor. There is no month in tho twelve when a tonic and alterative is moro generally needod than iu this, and there is no preparation of that nature so thoroughly salu? brious, so bracing, and so entirely freo from undue exciting properties, as this celebrated vcgotablo cordial.
