The developments of ths last two days show very plainly that we have lttt'a to ;hope for from negro conservatism. The ^ wire pullers are shrewd, they preaah day and night to the negroes that "we freed fwi," n?d they have sown the s??d of diecord and mistrust among ths colored people, making them believe that we are their enemies. And if this state of things continues mueh longer we may expect the very worst results imaginable. I have up to the present time been very sanguine, but my faith inWthe future is shaken, and I confess the times are ominous of trouble. The idea of a Government being in the hands of a class of people, who can neither read nor write, and who re willing to do the bidding of every miserable demagogue or would be politician from the Northern States, Is simply an absurd faroe. The thing can't go on ! It would require the patience of Job to think about it, and not a el', its no use talk incr.

Prentiss, in hi( recent valedictory, on retiring from the editorial chair, which he filled for forty one years, has the following: " No man should be without a well conducted newspaper; the is far behind the spirit of the age unless .he rends one; be is not upon an equal footing with his fellow ni-xn who enjoys such advantage, and shows a disregard of fhia famdjr, in not offering them an opportunity of acquiring a knowledge of what is passing in tho world, as the newspaper fur nishes the cheapest possible teaching.? Show mo a family without a newspnperf and I will venture to say there will be manners of ignorance mo*t strongly in con trast with the neighbor who allows himself such a rational indulgence. Young mon especially, should read newspapers. It I were a boy, even of twelve years. I would yead a newspaper weekly, even though I bad to worfc by torch light to earn money enough to pay for it. The boy who read* well will learn to think and analyzo ; and jf so he jrill be almost sure to make a man /at himself?having vicious indulgence*, -which reading is calculated to beget a dislike for."?FJgeJUld Advtrtittr. #?

Amongst many interesting artio'es in tliia number, Is an aeoonnt of the biennial mwtlng of the Society above named, at St. L"nle, Missouri. The next biennial meeting is to take place in Phils delphia in 18 ?. Tho Society ftnu to bo one of great value and Importance; and so cording to the address of the President, lion. Marshal P. Wild\h? is odd of the first of Its kind in the world, lie elated that the Society had brought together at the | meeting, from more than thirty States end Territories the most intelligent, expert enced, sagacious and skilful cultivators who have taught each other, and made the knowledge of one. the property of alt. It eeus, also, according to the same authority, that the example of the American Poniologieal Sooiety, has led to the formation of similar *isooia'ions in England, Prance and Belgian). America has thus fair'y taken the lead of the world In attention to fruit culture. We see am mg*t the list of Vice-Presidents of this Society, the name of a distinguished and worthy citia-n of tllie State, William i Summer, of Pomaria. As one of the Vice i Presidents, Mr Summrr doubtless derives < great advantage from his connection with ( this Society, as any one might; it enables | Idin to keep up with a knowledge of a'l the best varieties o4 fruits, and the twos' 1 approve 1 moles of cultivation. The President of the Society says that it's published proceedings, embracing its discussions, re ports of committee, catalogue.*, and paper* on various pomologicul subjects, embody a mass of information from the best eultiva tors of this country, such as is po?so?e I hy ( no other nation on earth. At the close of the meeting " Dr. KnwAtms ? of Missouri, having In his hand an evergreen wreath starred with flowers approached the President, upon the platform, and said, that in behalf of the ladies of St. Lnu'?a, it was his very agreeable duty to confer upon him a w?ll merited and m ?sl appropriate crown."

Csxnv being, by Act of Congress, tbe State, has (in consultation it is said with Governor Our) made the usual appropriations for the support of the civil govern mont of the Stati for the ensuing year. The appropriations are nearly identical , with those nia-le last year, and e/^ry year, in fnct, for the naoal expenses of the Stats Government. There is one large unuMtnl item of $80,00<\ for eerrj ing on the Slate Penitentiary ; this Arises from the new n*cessities of tlie times. The Tax Act of Gen. Cavdt is not yet published. That will be of more practical interest to the peop'e than the appropriation. They have no control of either.? They must pay the taxes. So far at developed, Gen. Canbt, In his present legislation, appears to be guided by a sincere derlr* for the good of the State. It is a great pity all the military commanders, fr-.m the first, aoiilii not have been influenced by a regard for liberty and Juet'ce rather than a narlizan Z'Uil for Radicalism.
