AGRICIII.TURE. • No more certain sign need wo of the rapid progress of our country than the increasing interest which is alniostevery where being manifested in the science of Agriculture. Indeed, but a few . ycarsago, it was not regarded as a science at all ; sad we fear that in many sections of the country even at this day, old and young farmers (so called) may be found, who cannot realize that anything new or important has been discovered in the branch of industry to which they ore attached. The first agricultural paper in America was commenced in Baltimore about 2S years ago. It received but little support; bat the perseverance and enthusiasm of the Editor, kept It alive till it excited the attention of some of the lead ing men of the country. Mr. Skinner has lived to see, starting up all around him, agricultural papers and periodicals which have flourished and given am_ ple return for the patronage bestowed upon them.— Books have been sent from the press without num ber; and now every good farmer has upon his shelves works devoted to some sort of husbandry. The re sult of all this is seen in the increased productiveness of the country ; in the increased intelligence of the people . ; and in their increased virtue too. The pre judice that once existed against "book farming" has subsided; and the old workers in' the soil are be. gtnning to look with favor upon the experience of those who make agriculture a study. The moat striking change which these publications have brought about may be seen in the fact that it is no longer a diagraco to work upon a farm. It lawns' it is still disgraceful to be ao ignorant soil destroyer; it is by no means creditable•for a man to starve upon a "hundred acre farm" as many do; it is a shame to see a farmer coming to town with poor produce drawn by horses upon whom, bones one might bang his bat. But no pursuit is MAC more honorable than Agriculture, when carried on with proper taste and skill. l'or this evident change, we are ail much indebt.- ;ed, perhaps, to the numerous Societies that have sprung into existence within late years, as to publi. cations. These societies, by .offering premiums, ex cite an honorable and 'laudable rivalry; and' thus the study of the best modes of culture is forced up on the most slothful. In all the States of this 'Un ion Agricultural Societies have been .organized.— Even in the Southein States organizations( have been effected, and great good has followed. In New England and New York, in Ohio and - the Great West, there are the State Associations, and the county..Associationo : all working vigorously for the advancement of the great cause: Legislation has been invoketl with Success, to its aid ; and Congress at its present sessilm has taken important steps in behalf of the farming interest—not by the old' party prsFissitiOntq buti-hy_ direct efforts to aid in lemons the Oroduitk of the soil. . - 'We commenced this arable with a view of saying something to reference' to the , singular backward - !tenet' the peep e ofthis county , ;for it a too true that they hare not kept pace with those of neigh boring diStricts; Salado has been'said and done here tofore that our papers have never been forced from necessity to devote a column to Agricultural sub jects. The readers seemed to prefer almost any other kind of matter. We see the result. In some parts of Allegheny it is a fact that the lands have deteriorated. We' think we might point to instan ces where the old , barns have rotted down and the owners have Leon too peer to rebuild ; fences have gone to decay ;'the soil : Ilea been worn . put ;. the children have been brought op without eduCation, without proper fodder clothing—ripe for the.temp ter. HOW many farmers sons and daughters, in our own vicinity r have been lost to society from this simple cause. But we have hopes that an improvement may take Place soon. We have evidences of an-. 4 improving tendeiley." Among these is the "Horticultural Society.," supported by a few gentlemen' of this city. It is permanently established; and has alrea dy done much _good. But the hest sign is to . be found in the communication of our friend Item!, of Indi ana township. It seems the very excellent citizens —or some of them—of that neighborhood hive or ganized a Society, which promises Well. Now why can not a-Society be started in every township Why can not a county Society be form ed It cannot be contended that there is - not wealth enough to support one. We do think there is sufficient intelligence. In furtherance of this object, we have already promised to devote a column or more of our Weekly Post to articles on the science of agriculture. We think our country readers will thank us for our exer tions in their behalf. We will do what we can. But we crave the assistance of all who feel an interest in the subject ; and who have leisure to put their thoughts upon paper; -. Friends, send us short and compactly written communications, and we will publish thmm. !kir The Carlisle Volunteer, of the 18th, instant, contains a communication recommending GeorgelL Bucher, Esq., of it, old mother Cutriberland,'! for the office of Canal Commissioner. rar The Bon: Job Mann ]ins our, thanite for'a • Geographical Memoir upon 'Upper California, by.

Each successive arrival from Ireland brings ac counts of inCreasing miBery and wretchedness in that unhappy Country., A correspondent of the New York True Sun, writing from Dublin on the 2.lst ul timo, says that a deeper gloom than ever seems to have settled on the nation, and that even at the an nual festivities of Christmas there was nothing but " wailing and gnashing of teeth; ", nothing but ac counts of starvation, nothing but political despair, nothing but governmental tyranny in every quarter of the Island. The same writer goes on to say that the remnant of means and industry that, among the farmers and peasantry, survived the wreck of the past threeyears ha 4 all gone to the landlords in England. I know one district of the South- r about the rich est and most fertile spot on the face of created mat ter—from which siz families are about to proceed to the West, Wisconsin, Illinois, or lowa. They take not less than £2OOO ($10,000) each family. They belong to the best class of our deierted nation—the educated, middle class farmers, whose hearts are as generous as their manners are polished. An awful transition fitaking place. All the laborers and cot= tiers of the country are becoming inmates of the workhouses, and the higher grades o f the people, (those who don't fly to America) are dropping down to the level of the former,2and of-course must enter the Barflies. The gentry are-all paralyzed by the enormity of the poor rate; and many of them actually want th 9 necessaries oil life. When the work-houses are crowded, the poor in the neighborhood are dying by starvation in propor tions quadruple to that of , tl6 and 47. It would be tedious and unnecessary in me to in. dividualize cases of distress, destitution and death, from penury. -It is now a stale story, a . erambe repe tita tale, which may appeal to the heart for a mo ment, and then away.

Nest week, I shall have a word to say on the petit ical state of the nation, and our connexion with England. For the Mornirw Allegheny County Agricultural Society iltel.AltA TOWNSHIP, Jan. 2'2, 1S•18. • Dear Sir—l take the liberty to address you, knowing that you take a deep interest in anything that has a tendency to promote the interest and benefit of the community at lame, especially in the sciences of agricultural and horticullural pur suits, and your being fully aware of the great disadvantage That our farmers, in this section of the country, labor under in not having general in formation relative to the best mode of cultivating their farms so as to make them yield abundant crops without impoverishing them, and likewise of improving their stock. lam happy to inform you that the farmers of this, and several of the. adjoining townships, have become aroused upon the subject of these import ant facts. They have recently formed an agricul tural society, styled the- Allegheny County Ag ricultural Society, for the express purpose of endeavoring to promote the science of agriculture„ in all its various branches, in this county. The society are, therefore, anxious to have every por tion of the county fully represented in their:body, and thinking that you would take a lively interest in this important measure, have requested me, as their corresponding secretary, to address you upon fife subject, and to solicit your kind aid- in endea voring Jo mouse the farmers and citizens, through out the county, to the importance of the' great measure we have in view. In fact, it becomes the duty, of every good citizen• to aid, as much as possible, in carrying out the true pinciples of ag ricultural science, asit is from that source- that the whole humnn family derive their sustenance. Agriculture is a noble science, and there is no pro fession more honorable. I consider a scientific farmer one of nature's true and great noblemen, especially in our free and enlightened 'country. For instance, where is there a more independent citizen in the world, than an enlightened Ameri can farmer? He is fully aware that it is through his exertions, and the exertions of his colleagues, 'that every other profession exists. I aril sorry to say that the science of agriculture, in all its various branches, has been:_ too long neglected in this, and some of the adjoining coun ties; and if some remedy, or new course, is not adopted, the time is not far distant when a great many farms in our county will become so , ex hausted and impoverished that they will not pay foi. the tillage. We have too much of the old style of farming. -I am sorry to say that we hive men amongst us (I won't call them farmers) Who are opposed to any improvement in, the mode of farming; they take it almost as an insidt, if you mention the word improvement to them. Such men may be styled after a set of men who existed during the Revolutionary War, who were called “Skihners"—a set of men who did not hesitate to plunder both friend and foe. These men go in for skinhing their mother earth, and they do it most effectually.- They have about three of these skinning frolics annually: The first is when pre paring their land for seed—they skin or scratch the earth about tsvo inches in-depth. The second skinning takes "place immediately after the grain is threshed from the scanty crops they have raised—they sell almost every spear of hay, straw, or grain they hive raised, - thus robbing the soil of every thing.

The Journal of this city, a few days since, pub lished a - letter from Washington city, underCiate of Jan. 20th, in which the writer stated that a .caucus of the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress hadheen held, at which Andy Stewart had been recoMmend ed as Secretary of the Treasury, - under Gen; Tai lor. The Baltimore Sun's correopondent, in writing from Washington under date of Jali. 22(1,0mi - days later than the above,) says: , The Pennsylvania delegation have held consults.; lions as to the designation of a citizen of that State for a Cabinet office, under Gen. Taylor. Meg hare not agreed to reemnni,.nd ang one, butlthey will, be ready to do so, in case Gen. Taylcir should ask their advice. Gen. Taylor may not give thetri the troebie. The reason is that he win . ..take Gov. Jahntion, br Mr. J. It. Ingersoll. ab it appears, after all, that there has been - no recommendation of ,c , Handi - Andy?' It is quite probable that either Stewart or his loving friey Hampton wrote the letter to the Journal, or procur ed some one to perform that dirty piece of business for them. The matter is altogether worthy of the genius of Moses Hampton ! . - Armstrong Senatorial District. The - Armstrong Democrat, in a postscript, dated Jan ,24, noon, says: “We have just been informed thatth'e Demoeraticlkenatorial Delegates from the several counties in the district,. met in Convention on Tuesday last, in the Borough of Indiana, and un animously nominatad Auousrus Daum, Esq., of In' diana, as the Democratic candidate , fur the State Senate.” This election has been ordered to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Gov. John son. Mr. Dams, the nominee, is a thorongh-going Democrat, and an active, intelligent citizen. The election takes place on the 2d ofFebruati. On the same day, there are township electinns in Indiana county, which is ti strong federal regiett:" The fed eral mangers at flarrisburgh, no doubt fixed upon that day for the Senatorial election, hoping that they could induce their drilled followers to turn out their strength, and elect the federal nominee. Bat we hope the Democracy will-not Buffer themselvel to become lukewarm or indifferent. Let them go to work in earnest, end they must succeed in elec ting their candidate. • AtIOTIIEII Taunt Iternocr. ltaatvzn.--The ew York Tribune annriuncea the arrival in that city on Sunday, of Michael Doheny,',one ofthe Irish patriots, in the ship St. Nicholas from Havre.
