Tbis is indeed an imporlunt era. The American people are now viuhiny a history that will be reud with interest, not only when the b ys und girls of to-day ehull bave'grown grey wilh age, but for centuries to come. None of the events recorded in the hictory of Greece aud Route, that are still reud witb so much interest, were of such worldwide impor tance, as what is now transpiring in this year of Grace 18GI. Onr young renders, and even grown people, who pore over the details of tbe wurof '12 can hardly reulize that a greater strife, and if poasible a more important one, is now io progress in our very midst. Tbe result is to determine, for the benefit of the world whether or not a free Government like ours, is a strong one, cupuVde of endurance, and adapted to the wauts of the human family. This stiUL'L'le, its causes, its details, its results, will be constantly written about, talked about, and referred to in tho highest legislative councils of tbis ond other coun tries, longer than tbe youngubt child that reads these pages will live. Let all the youth, then, read about and study the trans piring events of the day, and let them be be discussed at the fireside, at the table aud iu tbe school-rootu.

According to (lie Massachusetts Plowman potato vines should be thrown into heap and burned, for the most plausible theory in regard to tha potato rot is, that it is caused by a very min ute insect, not visible to the naked eye. By I tiurnir.g ihe vines, tberelore, we may catch millions of them and send theci where they i came trom. F'or tha vines are of bet very I little value as manure, aud their ashes are bet. j ter than liieir stems buried in tho soil. A very reasonable supposition iu regard to tba rot is, tiiat it is caused hy a poibouous little iusect, too minute to be readily discerned, yet numerous enough to cause destruction to that root which is almost the sole food uf millions of our race. If, us we conjecture, a small poisonous insect is the cause we can out tiuuk and subdue bim by fire and water. Let the viueg huve the (ire ; and let the tuber at the time of planting, be dipped into potash water la kill the little nits that adhere to them. (L-urrcspouiJcucc. Letter from tha Sunbury Guards.
