SLAVEHOLDERS AND SLAVES, Ber Reo ke A large and woll printed volume, containing the re- turns of the agriculture of the United States in 1860, compiled from the original returns of the eighth census, under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior, by Joseph C. G. Kennedy, Superintendent of Census, has lately appeared from the government printing office in Washington. The details and exhibits are 0 immense as to have required nearly four years in their compilation ‘and methodical arrangement in their present complete form. HOW TO PROMOTE AGRICULTURE. In the preface to the work the opinion is expressed that “the surest way in which the power of the govern- ment can effectually promote agriculture is by a steady and conmstent policy adapted to encourage the arts and give confidence to the stability of our manufactures; population will then rapidly increase, commerce be pro- moted, internal improvements multiply, and the power of the State will augment as a natural consequence.”’ It ts contended, further, that that which renders the pursuit of agriculture honorable and remu- merative, and, therefore, attractive and popular, is & certain home market, and wherever such exists there prevails a better system of culture, a more refined population, higher energy, a better morality, and in all things a happier condition both for the permanent wel- fare of the people and the good of the State. ‘The “anomalous policy”,at present pursued by the government to promote agriculture, by the gratuitous distribution of seeds snd plants, is not deemed calculated to secure the end aimed at, any more than would the in- terests of the mechanic arte be promoted by the gratui- tous distribution of the tools of trade; and, it is sug- gested, there rests no more obligation upon the State to legislate specially for the one interest than tho other. A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION. ‘The report contains the admirable suggestion that we Might advantageously imitate the example of other countries in maintaining public parks and gardens, where all the known useful and ornamental plants of the world should be cultivated under proper direction, coupled with facilities for instruction. One half the amount hereto- fore fruitlessly expended for the promotion of agricul- tare could be made to support an institution embracing the practical, ornamental and instroetive, which through succeeding time would promote the interests of the agri- cultural community, improve the tastes and enlarge the knowledge of all, PUBLICATION OF EXHIBITS NECESSARY. The publication of periodical exhibite of our various Productions is regarded as both obligatory upon the State ‘and beneficial, and especially necessary in a country where there exists such a boundless expanse of unoccu- Pied territory adapted to agriculture, mining and manu- factares. In such investigations it is believed we have entered into more general details than other nations, of whom comparatively few have found it practicable to obtain the results, while jamenting their want. ‘The object of the present volume is to represent the agricultural productions of our country for the year end- ing on the Ist of June, 1800, and the live stock on the day mentioned. The following is— TABLE NO. 1.—SHOWING THE ACRES OF LAND IN FARMS, AND CASH VALUE. Total States, .162,640,848 Territories.

By the foregoing table It will bo perceived that in 1860 tho agricultural area of the country embraced 163,110,720 ‘acres of improved land, and 244,101,818 acres of land improved. In other words, for every two acres of im- Proved land thero are three acres of land connected therewith not yot under cultivation, while ‘he gross aggregate of uncultivated territory, fertile and waste, “walle to 1.406,000,602 acres, NEW: YORK.

New York makes nearly one-fourth of all the butter made in the United States, and more than one-third the cheese, the amount being 103,007,280 pounds butter, and 48,665,280 nds cheese. Ohio ts the principal dairy State of ‘the est, She miakes nearly one-third of all the butter pro- duced in the Western States and over seventy-five per cent of the cheese. Vermont produces moro cheese than all the Western States together, exclusive of Ohio. ‘The amount of butter made in the Southern States has increased from forty-four and a half million pounds in 1850 to nearly sixty millions ip 1860. The cheese pro- duct in the South is exceedingly light, and hax fallen off since 1860. In California, in 1650, only seven bun. dred and five pounds of butter were produced, while in 1860 the product was over three million pounds Dutier, and over one and e quarter million pounds of aBiivioar STATES IN THE ORDER OF THEIR WHEAT PRODUCT IN 1850 wen’ IN 1860. tories, dred and twelve millions It wil increage in the crop of wbacco in these two States since 1850 is over 100 per cent, which, considering the magni- tude of the crop in 1850, 'is very remarkable. Tn 1850 the amount of tobacco raised in New England was less than one and @ half million pounds, while in 1860 {t was over nine and a quarter millions—an increase of over five hundred per cent. New York and Pennsy> vania show a remarkable increase in the tobacco crop. New York has increased from eighty-three thousand one hundred and eighty-nine pounds in 1860, to over five and three-fourth million pounds in 1868. But litte to- ‘bacco is raised on the Pacific and {t has increased & mere trifle since 1860. In New ico there is an ac- tual decrease, which is true of no other State except Florida, The returns show that tobacco is raised fn every State and fn all the Territories except Dakotab. In 1860 the amount of tobacco raised in all the States and Territories was eight pounds to cach imbabitant, and im 1860 about fourteen pounds. The unsettled condition of Kentucky since the commencement of the war, jer with the loss of al- most the entixe crop in Virginia, have caused a great di- minution in the supply of tobacco, and prices have vanced very rapidly. This has stimulated the cultlva- tion of tobacco in the Northern States to an extent which it would never have attained in ordivary circumstances. The principal variety of tobacco grown in the Northern States is the Connecticut seed leaf, It is ordinarily grown for cigar wrappers, and the larger and the more perfect the leaf the more profitable is the crop. For smoking or chewing it is an inferior variety. Im faot it seem almost impossible to grow a good quality of chew- ing tobucco in the Northern States. It is found much more prodtable to grow 8 large, tough leaf, suitable for cigar wrap than to attempt to grow a amaller crop of Se als” CANE SUGAR, MAPLE SUGAR, SORGHUM MOLASSES, 35 68,065 + 4,280 145 10 726 2,097 14,056 pe ad £58) FE6R=81 8 27,871 Total... 8,228 Ter 221,240 1,¢27, 263 aie 221, 20 » Ss £ S832 Inc., gal........1,306,008 Although this does not compare with the nine bi millions of gallons produced annually in Franco, or three thousand millions of all Europe, yet it shows that ‘the wine prod: interests of this country are progres ing under the most encouraging auspices. , vineyards x ng are estinated at twelve mi ions of acres.
