The Unzon replies to the Intelligencer’s ar- ticle on party fidelity, and says: “If we consider the past misfortunes — have attended the efforts of the Intelligencer = the way of political as<ociations, its views should be considered quite natural and sensible. Ad hering to a party which just now proposes to wholly disregard p:inciples, and to open a can- vass for the Presi ry on the exclusive faith of a few doubtful politicians, nothing could be more appropriate than a disavowal of the obligations which the representative assumes when he un- dertakes to discharge a political trust imposed upon bim by bis constituents.** The Union also devotes a portion of its space to the ‘ Mistakes of Politicians,’ en- forcing the lesson that ‘‘no man of either party who has sought the Presidency by setting him- self up as superior to his fellows has been, or ever will be President.”’ The Union also doubts the success of the Atlantic Telegraph enterprise. The Intelligencer reminds its readers that this is the day named by the act of Congress for the election appointed to be held in Kansas Territory on the question of admission into the Union. The /vtel/igencer thinks it not im- probable that the people of Kansas will elect to become a State under the Lecompton Con- stitution. ———_—__--2+ = -—_____ 17 It is romored at Savannah, Ga., that the barque E.

A Letter From Berkevey Sprixes.— [Corespondence of the Star } Berxerey Serincs, July 2. Dear Mr. W——: I beg your pardon, but you know it’s so natural for young girls to makeevery tbing dear, and old girls, too, for that matter, with this difference: young girls, from ‘ sweet sixteen”? and dubitably upwards, are dear to a vast number of nice young fellows (so I’ve been told,) and oid girls are dear only to—themselves. But I didn’t intend to set out with an essay on youth and old age. Lopened my port folio to xive you an Mnkling or two about the springs and the company here. Finding no +‘ modern innova- tion”’ in the Vb eh of a steel pen, I've taken uncle's toothpick from true conservatism and veneration for ancient customs, and revel in the del) ‘hts of a “ goose pen.’? ‘['rue, my chirogra- phy is not exactly the * Penciled knot and flourish fine,”’ of a Michael Angelo or Goldsmith, but then flat- ter myself its as good as the common run o’ hands tang ht in our “ fine feathered”’ boarding schools. ‘There is not half so much emulation anyhow in the caligraphic art, as existed in Europe two hundred years before | was christened Mehitable Ann So D’Israeli tetls me, and he is curiously interesting in historic litera ure. This is deviating again too much from the ‘Soriginal question.’’ 1 presume, Mr. W., you know what a delightful place this is. and the in- trinsic value of these waters in therapeutics; but you don’t know what a nice time we’re having with the beaux, the baths, the bowlings, &c. The “ near drownings” we bave in the pool, the “ten strikes’? and -‘spares’? we make at the alley, and the picnicking and delightful drives are quite sufficient to banixh all * blue devils *? Of course we do Le Lancicro, with many glances, nightly, until I sigh for a seat—in the spring, the damage now done by the rust at the South, and by the midge at the North, as well as per- haps half the damage from the fly, joint worm, &e., which invariably affect tender and back- ward wheat first, the more vigorousstalks being comparatively free from their ravages. Our plan for trying to get an earlier ripening wheat is as follows: The plan we are pursuing being to select for seed the produce of the por- tions of the fields ripening first, and in clean- ing it to as far as posmble rid it of every grain not entirely perfect and well developed. To plow very deepin breaking up, and to fertilize highly ; and, further, to sow the seed so se- lected on exposures suited for early ripening. We think that the result will be that in a few years we shall have a wheat which will out- grow almost all danger of the fly and rust—a vigorous wheat with early ripening tendencies as one of its particular characteristics. We are satisfied that with the seed plump and perfect, and the land properly prepared, the best time for sowing wheat in this region is between the Ist and 10th of October, as near as may be. The use of the drill will enable any farmer even though designing to put in thou- sands of acres of wheat to get it in between those dates unless rains prevent, which our ex- perience teaches does not often happen. A machine drill requires the services of two hands and three horses, anf should plant fifteen acres per diem, which, to be ploughed in the same time would require the service of ten hands and ten horses. Additional hands are hardest to be obtained every where, just when most needed by the farmer, who does not resort to the drill and the machine reaper, at the seasons of planting and harvesting. These machines are, in fact, farm hands of the most valuable kind requiring nothing for their support, while their services are not needed, and being always ready to do efficient and invaluable labor when required to go to work, as the use of the drill enables the farmer to select his own time for getting in his crop, by making him entirely independent of the additional, and, usually, unobtainable, labor (to his regular force) he otherwise invariably stands in need of in plant- ing time, so the machine reaper makes him entirely independent of assistance to his regu- lar force in harvesting. A Manny and Wood reaper, with a hand to drive and another to rake, will certainly do the work of four best cradlers without the danger to health, if not life itself, consequent upon hand harvesting in July. Fifteen acres per diem is a fair average for the work of such a reaper. Every farmer knows the importance—in its effect on the value and quantity of his grain harvested—of being able to select his own time for cutting it. A lack of force, causing a delay of from one day to a week, owing to the great variableness of the weather, just at that season, not unfrequently makes a difference of from ten to twenty-five per centum in the mo- ney realized from the sales of the crop. The farmer who sows three hundred acres tu wheat, if harvesting by hand labor altogether, should be able to run at least fifteen cradles to be en- tirely certain that he will not be damaged by moist or cloudy weather. Not one farmer in a bundred, planting no more than three hundred acres to wheat, is able to set such ‘‘a squadron in the field.” in addition to the necessary force of binders and rakers. So, if he would use due precaution, he must resort to the machine reapers, keeping as many of them as his crop may require. He would make money hand- over-fist by having always on hand sufficient to cut his whole crop in four fair working days. We know, from experience, that the wear and tear of the Manny and Wood reaper, when kept properly preserved (when not in use) is so inconsiderable as to amount to almost noth- ing. Take it, all in all, it is the farmers’ mo- ney-saver as well as money-maker. Our only wonder is that any farmer, who has as little as thirty acres of grain and as many of grass to cut annually, ventures to attempt to get on without one, or without a machine drill—but there “‘is no accounting for tastes’’ in agricul- tural matters, as in all things else. We repeat, our plan for securing the wheat crop above and beyond most of the dangers that produce failures is to seek to plant only the earliest ripened seed, as explained above, and to have at command the means of choosing our own time for both planting and harvesting, and divide between “ Horopipes, strathspeys, jigs and reels.” The Gov.

A Seysipte Vigzw.—The following remarks from the New York Journal of Commerce relative to Mr. Appleton, Assistant Secretary of State, are so decidedly sensible that we can- not retrain from laying them befure our read- ers. They are responsive to the following sen- tence in the New Bedford Mercury : ‘* For the honor of the fraternity (editorial) Mr. Appieton should, however, put an end to these disgracefal charges.”? The Journal of Commerce replies: ‘For the honor of the fraternity’ we hope he will do no such thing. Ifa gentleman who for years has stood the fire of the political press in Maine and throughout the Union, cannot outlive and despise the charges which are systematically and maliciously made against his honor, by the correspondents of unscrupulous sheets, he has profited less by his experience than we should think it possible for him to do. There are sey- eral reasons why the shafts of the Opposition are directed at this time against Mr. Appleton. In the first place, it is known that he occu. a most responsible relation to the Administra- tion, and, therefore, to destroy public confi- dence in his integrity is to accomplish the two- fold purpose of damaging the Administration and defeating his election to the Senate, by the Democracy of his State. We do not be- lieve they will succeed in injuring him in the public estimation,—simply because we believe him not obnoxious to the charges preferred against him.”’ Serveo Hix Ricut.—No other traitor to the cause of the Democracy in the last Con- ress bellowed threats of the vengeance of con- stituents *0 savagely as did Mr. Broderick, of California.
