Austria were recently engaged. While
Great Britain has never acknowledged the
rfght of expatriation, she has not practically
insisted upon it. France has been equally
forbearing; and Prussia has proposed a
compromise, which, although evincing
increased liberality, has not been accepted
by the United States. Peace is now pre
vailing everywhere in Europe, and the
present seems to be a favorable time for an
assertion by Congress of the principle, so
long maintained by the executive depart
ment, that naturalization by one State iully
exempts the native born subject of any other
State from the performance of military
service under any foreign Government, so
long as he does not voluntarily renounce its
rights and benefits.
In the performance of a duty imposed
upon me by the Constitution, I have thus
submitted to the representatives of the
States and of the people such information
of our domestic and foreign affairs as the
public interests seem to require. Oar
Government is DOW undergoing its most
trying ordeal, and my earnest prayer is that
the peril may be successfully and finally
passed without impairing its original
strength and symmetry. The interests of
the nation are best to be promoted by the
revival of fraternal relations, the complete
obliteration of our past differences, and the
reinauguration of all the pursuits of peace.
Directing our efforts to the early accomplish
ment of these great ends, let us endeavor to
preserve harmony between the co ordinate
departments of the Government, that each
in its proper sphere may cordially co-operate
with the other in securing the maintenance
of the Constitution, the preservation of the
Union,and the perpetuity of our free institu
tions. .

WALKS AND TALKS ON THE FARM
We need more capital —or rather, perhaps,
we need faith enough in good agriculture to
□3e what we have, in improving our farms.
Had the millions of dollars which have been
sunk in oil wells, been invested in underdraw
ing and other improvements, how much bet
ter it would have been for the country! Those
who complain so loudly of high prices of farm
produce, should know that the absorption of
capital for speculation is one cause of the
present scarcity of the necessaries of life.
The farmer needs capital to carry on his busi
ness as much as the merchant. But as things
now are, it is rare that begets any accommo
dation from the <Banks. The necessity of
capital among farmers is seen in the fact that
at auction sales, where nine mouths or a
year's credit is given, prices go far higher
than at cash sales. There are few farmers
who have anything like the amount of capital
that they could use to advantage. We invest
our money in baying the land and have not
enough left to farm it properly. One reason
of the high position occupied by English and
Scotch farmers is, that their means are not
locked up in the land. This is owned by the
large landlords, while the farmer has all his
capital free for active employment. Had he
money enough to own the land and farm it
too, he would probably feel that he was rich
enough ''to live without work,'' and the farm
would soon run down. Of course I do not
advocate this system of renting farms. It is
far better to own them.but it involves the neces
sity of obtaining taoro capital for active
A merchant worth ten thousand dollars would
probably borrow, directly or indirectly, twen
ty thousand in addition to carry on his busi
ness. He gives notes at four or six months
to these who sell him goods, and takes notes
from those to whom he sells and gets them
discounted at the bank. And in this way an
enterprising merchant sometimes borrows
three er four times as much money as his
original capital. This is all very well. The
business of the country could not be carried
on without credit. But how is it with farm
ing? A farmer worth $40,000, which he is
not risking in business, seldom uses his credit
at all. He is "good," but the banks will no*
accommodate him, because he requires the
money for nine months or a year, and the
banks can make more money on shorter pa
per. This is the real difficulty in the case.
The farmer can seldom turn his money to
advauiaee in a shorter time, and he is not
safe in giving three months's paper, which
must either be renewed when it comes due,
or he must sacrifice something to meet it.
There is probably no remedy for this state ol
things, except in a superabundance of capital
seeking investment at a low rate of interest,
conjoined at the same time with a better
knowledge on the part of bank managers
with the business and wants of farmers, and
confidence enough on the part of farmers
themselves to employ money in a better sys
tem of .agriculture.
''But farmers are producers, and should
not be under the necssity of borrowing mon
ey to carry on their business, like those enga
ged in buying and selling." This is true in
one sense. But farmers are traders as well
as producers. If I raise a litter of pigs, and
at weaning time sell them for $2.00 a piece,
or if I raise a crop of corn and sell it for $ 1.00
a bushel, I am so far a producer. I have
produced these articles and sold them and got
the money. But If instead of selling them,
I feed out the corn to the pigs, and keep them
six months, and then sell them, I am in one
sense a trader or a manufacturer. The pigs
and the corn are the raw material out of
which I manufacture pork and manure. It is
for this that I am warranted, on the ordinary
principles of business, to borrow money from
the bank. If I sell the pigs and the corn to a
distiller instead of fattening them on the farm,
he borrows money from the bank, and no
questions are asked. Look at the thousands
of half-fat cattle that are sold in our large
markets every week. Would it not pay the
farmer to get them in "ripe" condition be
fore he parts with them 1 Frequently he has
fhe food to do it, but either lacks confidence to
feed it out, or else is pressed for money, and
not being able to borrow, must sacrifice his
cattle—to his own loss and the loss of the
community. He loses half the benefit of all
his feeding, for in fattening cattle the last
month gives the profit.
One of my neighbors has sold his farm for
SIOO an acre. On asking him how he came
to sell, be replied, "I am going West, and in
tend to bny a small farm that 1 can work
alone. lam tired of paying hired help tico
tJurda of ail 1 can raise. 1 '
I told him 1 should be quite contented to do so
provided I could make enough. Thirty-tbree
per cent, profit- would do very well. A friend
of mine who lives in the city and rents out a
&rm on shares, says he should be perfectly
a Hfctisficd if the man would only steal one
' ■qaifrter more than his share but he steak
thtvhok ! Shall we ever be able in this
. counfry to carry on farming in the same way
is conducted—l do not
mean amateur farmiug, but real, practical
farming, with an experienced man to direct
and furnish the capital, and others to do tbe
labor? It must be confessed that there are
few instances of success in this direction, ami
many of failure and disgust. The general
I opinion among practical farmers is, that such
a system cannot profitably be carried out.
And a majority of them thinking that a far
mer who pays two-thirds of all he receives
from his crops for hired help and expenses,
will soon get tired of agriculture. A man
who undertakes the business and who has
the necessary persoual qualifications, with
sufficient capital, can- usually earry on a man
ufacturing establishment with profit. Mhy
i cannot farming be carried on in the same way.
If it cannot, it must be owing to the difficulty
of getting intelligent labor, or making it,
from the nature of farming, efficient. If this
is really the case, we must have small farms,
and much of the work must be done by the
farmer himself aud his family. It would
seem difficult to have a high order of farming
lon this principle, or to use machinery to ad
vantage.—Jw. Agriculturist,
SECUKE THE LEAVES.
The woods are now full of leaves. Indeed
they appear to be more abundant than ever
but farmers do not value them as highly as
we think they should. For barnyards espe
cially they are profitable to haul iu. They
are obtainable too when there is little pressing
work on hand. Gathered up in heaps they
can be readily loaded in carts and wagons
with close shelvings by using either a cloth
some two or three yards square, or witha
wooden rake and the arm. Hogs are very
fond of them for litter, so are cows , and for
compost they are excellent. As oats straw is
now usually fed to cattle and rye straw com
mands a high price in the market, there is
nothing left for the purpose of littering except
wheat straw. Hence forest leaves should be
held in higher estimation than they common
ly are.— Germantown Telegraph.
