Baltimore expects to do an in ^ creased amount of businesa with the South this < spring, and we think she will be in glHHi eondi lion for H.

Let the merchant# and t manufacturers of the North onoe feel lb*t the 1' trade of the South la gradually leaving them, ^ (for the pmeeea, in the nature of thing*, can on- c ly he gradual.) and you will find a very different 1 aentiment prevailing there upon the queation of Southern righto. The tone of their publle journal#. and the hot hoetility of aome of their publle men to the South, under the lnjurinua influ- ^ eooM of a deeltning Southern trade, will be mel* 11 lowed down by the voiee of injured inter eat. We think now. aa we have al way* thought, that jt > the dnty of the Hoqth to render heraelf com- * merclaTly free end independent of tlie North. To ' do thia. it ahould be her poMey.

While New York, Boston < M4 Philadelphia hare grown in riehe* nod prospertly under their liberal patronage, the eitlea of the Sooth hove been neglected by lU own < people, end enterpriae haa langtiWhed for the rant of dne encouragement. Let the South 1 ?mw look to thia matter of building up a great I . v mporting ind distributing market uuth of Ma* ion and Dixon's Line. Whether she remains in he Union or goes ont of it, this Is her true polity. She owes it, as a duty, to herself, and the hould no longer neglcet to perforin it Baltimore, already the queen eity of the South, an ofTcr many reasons why she should bo tliat unrket. Commercially, sbe is already far in adnncc of otlier Southern cities. She has a sell re and spacious harbor, lies contiguous to one f the largest bays in the world?the noble Chesapeake; ia within convenient distance of he ocean, and has good and improving railroad nd steamboat connections witfy the South, ,nd a disposition to increase her shipping icilities to any extent commensurate with he encouragement she may receive. Her icrchants are enterprising, capable and popu ir. She possesses an abundance of capital and thcr facilities for a large and extensive trade and < ommorce, and, besides, site is the only Southern ity on the Atlantic seaboard, with one excepion, that is universally healthy at all soasons of < he year. In the early fall, when merchants do- i ire to make their purchases in chief for the casing season, the yellow fever and other conta- i ions are often prevailing to a most alarming ex* < ?nt in the cities further south. No difficulty of his kind would be experienced here. We are 1 ee from it ell, and can present an open market t all seasons of the year to the trade of the en- i ire South. The sympathy of Baltimore, with the South re know, it viewed with suspicion, by many of ur Southern friends, because a candidate for t bngresa was elected here after he publicly delured that the interests of Baltimore are more < lentifud with the North than they are with the outh. An intelligent lad, with any practical , onceptions of tlie business of Baltimore, would ave known better than that But you must i ot hold our community responsible for anything lint that gentleman may say or do, either in of ut of Congress, We do not consider him the eprescntative from this city. He was elected >y a series of the most undisguised, appalling nd outrageous frauds which ever marked au lection, we presume, in anaient or modern times. )ur city, politically, has been in a most degrad d position for come time past; but our Legislature is about passing laws to meet the difficulty, nd arc expect, in future, to have fair and ordery elections. If our expectations are realized, re will shew you, in tins Thirty-Seventh Congees, where Baltimore stands. As merchants, we not only repudiate that most alse and injurious doctrine that the interests of laltimore are more identified with the North 1 han they are with the South, but we unlu>?IUtini?. I y assert, that, as a trading community, our chief elianc? ia on the business of the South. This iss been our position for many years, and we are tot only bound to her by ties of interews, but, s a people, we are essentially Southern, at home r abroad, \u our feelings, habits and chnractcrities. Baltimore is a Union-loving city. The Union, n its interests, has always been the established ad undi?|>uted public seoitlmenT. of her people. Vith Southern affiliations and sympathies of be most decided obaraetsr; her citizens are true o the Union from the farce of instinct and equation both, and they will continue so as long as he Union can be preserved with honor to the louth. The etntiment which prevails here upon his subject, we believe to be the sentiment of ur State. We considor It to be the first and ?st duty of a true American citizen to raise his otee for the preservation of the Union, lint while re do so, we demand for the people of the South heir co-partnership rights under the federal oinpact Let their rights be secured and guar ntecd to them in good faith?silence abolition anaticism at the North, and the Union, of its own ecerd, will repose in peace and quietude. Then larmony will lie restored to all sections of our and?the bleeding wounds of this destitute naion will be heiiled, and North and South will ive in unison together under one Federal Govrnment, and one ooie of Federal Laws, Baltinore'e adhesion to the South need never be quesioned. She has always been a Southern city, nd her own preservation ae a commercial, mart, isinnnds that she should continue to be one rhether tlie Union should be perpetuated or disl olved. What would site be at the tail end of \ Nortliern confederation f little more than a wu j? of commercial ruiuc-. What could site not lie it the head of a Southern confederation ? With n half a century, she would become the second >r third commercial city in the world.

It is due to Sir Willlnm Alexander to My that ' he gave the province the prond name which at ' present It enjoys, of Nova Scotia, or New Scot land, a title much more appropriate than that of , " Acadia," which to as meant nothing. At this time the French Colony win slowly recovering froin the effects of the Argnll Expedition, thnt eight years before had laid waste its fair possessions. Among a number of emigrants from the Loire nod Seine, two gentlemen of birth and education, La Tour by name, father and son, set out to seek their fortunes in the New World. It must be remembered that in the original patent of Acndia, given by Henry IV to l>o Monte, freedom of religious opinion was one of the condi- ( lions of the grant, and therefore, the fact, that t uoiii me ia lour* were Huguenot#, did not pre- . vent tbem holding commissions under the French crown, the futher having in charge a email fleet of transports ready to sail from the harbor of Brest; the eon being the commander oi a fort . and garrison at Cape fcnble, upon tlie western . end of Acadia. Affair i being in this condition; it chanced that the English and French ships set sail for the same , port, at about the same time ; and it so happened that Sir William Alexander's fleet, meeting with the elder La Tour's in a fog, not only captured Uiat gallant chieftain, but also his transports, munitions of wjir, stores, artillery, Ac., and sailed back with the prizes to England. I beg you to observe, my dear reader, that occurrences of this kind were common enough at this period, even in times of peace, and not considered piracy, cither; the ocean was looked upon ns a mighty chessboard, and the ghme was won those who could command llie largest number of pieces. Clar.de de la Tour, not as a nrisotier r?f war, but us ao enforced guest of Sir William, J was carried to London, and there robbed of bis 4 goods, but treated like a gentleman, introduced at Court, although deprived of his purse and | liberty, and, in a word, found himself surrounded with the most hostile and hospitable conditions in life. It is not surprising, then, that, with true French philosophy, he should have made the best of it; gained the good will of the ] Queen, played off a little badinage with the la- j dies of the Court, and forgcttiug the late Lady t de la Tour, asleep in the old graveyurd in the ( city of ltocbcllc, essayed to wear his widower ( weeds with that union of grace and sentiment | for which his countrymen are so celebrated.? ( The consequence was, one of her Majesty's maids \ of honor fell in love with him; the Queen en- , couraged the match; the King had fust institnt- ( ed the new order of Knights Baronet, of Nova Scotiu ; La Tour, now in the way of good for- ( tune, was the first to he honored with the new < title, and, at the same time, placed the matrimonial ring upon the finger of the lovc-sick maid of honor. Indeed, Charles Etrenue de la Tour, commandant of the little fort at Cape Sable, had scarcely lost a father, before he had gained a step mother. That the French widower should have been so captivated by these marks of royal favor as to lose his discretion, in the fullness tit hh gratitude ; and, that, after receiving a grant of land from his patron, as a further incentive, tie stiouM volunteer to assist In bringing Acadia tinder the British Crown, as a prima, ry step, undertake to reduce the fort at Cape Sable ; I tay, that when I talc thin, nobody will be surprised, except a chosen few, who cherish some old-fashioned notions, in these days more romantic than real. " Two ships of war being placed under bis command," he set sail, with his guns snd a stop mother, to attack the Fort at Cape Sable. The latter was but jioorly garrisoned { but then it contained a daughter-in-law ) Uuder such circumstances, it was plain to be seen that the contest would be continued to the last ounce of powder. Opening the trenehes before the Frenclf fort, and parading his Scotch troops in the eyes of his son, the elder La Tour attempted to eapture the garrison by argument. In vain he " boasted of the reception he had met with in England, of his interest at court, and the hon- * or of knighthood which had been conferred upon 1 him." In vain he represented " the advantages tlint would result from submission," the benefits of British patronage; and paraded before the * eyes of the young commander the parchment grant, the seal, the royal autograph, and llie ulitteriiii? title of Knii/ti lt?">?e 1?1 spired his perfidy. UU son, shocked and indignant, declined the proffered honors and emoluments tliAt were only to l?e gained l>v an act of treason ("and intitnuted hie intention " to defend the Fort with his life, sooner than deliver it up to the enemies of his country." The father used the most earnest entreaties, the most touching and parental arguments. Charles Etienne was proof against these. The llaroaet alluded to llie large force under his command, and deplored the necessity of making an attack, in case his propositions were rejected. Charles Etienno only douldcd his sentinels, and stood more Itiruily entrenched upon hit honor. Then tha elder La Tour ordered an assault.

At Judge Parker'* Lnw School sociable, which took place on Tuesday evening, a well-known member of the Albany bar got out some very interesting anecdotes. lie favored the company with a bit of romance in which Judge Gould figures, and which, we believe, hat never been written up. Five years ago, this winter, Judge Gould led Albany in a stage coach, for the purpose of * holding court" in Schoharie. The day was inenscly cold?some 10 degrees below rem. Judge Mould's companions were Henry Smith, counselor nt law, and two other persons^ At Sloan's .he stage stopped, to enable the Judge and his Vienna u> attack aero with " something warm." Dn starting ,from Sloan's, the staje picked up a ittlo girl, about 12 years of age. She was thiny clad, and was traveling alone. Judge Gould, raving a heart full of natural ten<Wn<i>? ?wr?n liscovcred the Buffering condition of the child. He thus addressed her: " Are you not cold, my dear I" " Very cold, indeed, air." "Take my clonk, then, and bundle yourself up ind become comfortable." Saying this, the Judge ook off his cloak, trapped it around the little prl, and did the rest of the distance in a dress ioat. Having mnde the child comfortable, the fudge enquired into the child's history. The girl said she was an orphan?that she had lived with a family near Sloan's That the family Itad lately started for Wisconsin, and that she was now compelled to seek a home with a brother residing near tkdiohnrie Court House. Hie stage liaving arrived at the Court House, Judge Gould snquired for her brother, and found him to be a lirsi|>ated fellow. Brother informed Judge that lie " could not take care of any gal?much as he Millltl f)n fA IaIta itKaswa a/ 1' " Very well," said the Judge. "I will take sore of her myself." The brother finding out tlmt the gentleman interested in liia aiater waa Judge Gould, changed Id* ideas, and in about two hours informed the fudge thntlie had mode up his mind to " provide for the gnl." ** I have done the some?leave the room." Brother left the room, and left the hotel, threatening to get "four saahararrowa for morning." Brother having left the hotel, Judge Gould requested keeper to take excellent care of the littlu girl and aend bill to him. Judge Gould dosed the Circuit and returned to Albany, leaving girl to lie brought down by Counsellor ??v Counsellor honored the request, and conveyed little girl to his residence in Troy, Judge Gould received little girl with open arms, and next dny sent her to school." The little girl received a lit* ral education. In nl>out a year little girl having become a young lady, made the acquaintance of a wealthy gentleman in New York. Wealthy gentleman and yonng lady bccotoe man and wife.. Man and wife now live on one of the ave- ' nues, and are classed among the fnshionablea of the metropolis. All thia romance from a goodnatured act, performed by a goodmatured Judge, to a little orphan girl picked up at Sloan's while the thermometer stood 10 degrees below zero. [ Albany Standard.

Observation and experience have proved that the grand secret of feeding cattle, so as to keep litem In good thriving condition through the winter, ilea in a continual change and viration of foo-i. The greater the variety, the hotter the reaulta, say thoee who hnte adopted this plan ; both with respect to the Improvement and health of the cattle, and the waste of food?the latter a very important point for consideration?as thousands of dollars are lost annually to stock owners by the waste occur ring through the want of knowing how to use the coarse and |iooror qonlittc* of fodder. By a cliange of one kind of food to another, the eoar ser kind* are tnade to serve an inqmrtAnt purpose in saving the better sorts, and at the same time, proving more acceptable and beneficial to the cattle. Some farmers adopt the plan of feeding the coarsest fodder early in the morning, and giving their eattle a little good hay, grains or roots at sunaeqnent periods through the day ; making it a rule to feed at least fottr or five times each day. The great principles to be oltserved^ however, is the regnlar and constant change from one variety of food to another. Cornstalks, wheat and oatstraw, with the various kinds of hay, judiciously diversified wi h grains and roots, may be made to follow each other In alternate succession, and with decided advantage, especially to ml Mi eows and ail neat stock, liorsea, liower, require good hay every day : ml tie, Under the strictest regimen of alternation, should have good hay, or other first class nourishing fund daily, as this will serve to keep them in health, and cause them to est up clean the coarser kinds ?! !. tL.f.

The plant is cultivated for the fiber alone, the stalk and seed being thrown away, or used only for manure. Whereas the seed, which in weight equals even more than three times the weight of the filter, needs but to be properly prepared, to yield an oil worth from sixty cents to one dollar per gallon, valuable alike for burning nnd lubrication, and a salad oil far surpassing the best olive oil from Seville.
