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. . ANDREW JOHNSON. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3,186f0 Jfarm, Saview oc fmisclioUt 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. o WHAT did Jack Frost say when he wooed the violet? IFt7( thou.

A MAS was saying in company tbat he had seen a juggler place a ladder, in open ground, upon one end, and mount it by passing through the rounds and stand upon the top erect. Another who was present, said he had no doubt of it, as he had seen a man who had done the same thing, but with this addition, that when he arrived at the top he pulled the ladder after him. "BEHOLD, my Flora, how glorious Nature looks in her bloom ! The trees are filled with blossoms, the wood is dressed in its green livery, and the plain is carpeted with grass and flowers." "Yes Charles, I was thinking of the same thing. These flowers arc dandelions, and when they are gathered and put into a pot with a piece of good fat pork they make the best greens in the world." WHILE the licbel Gen. Johnson was march ing with his men to Bristoe Station, in the fall of 18#3, he perceived one of his men up a persimmon tree, aud called out to him : "I say there, what are you doing up there ?
