Profitable Farming.
The reader is referred to a report in another
part of this paper, made by the superintendent
of Prof_ Mapes' farm, near Newark, N. J., of
the receipts and expenditures upon the same
during the year 1860. It will be observed that
the nett profits were over six thousand dollars ;
and this, too, derived from the cultivation of
only some thirty-five acres. A better illuetra
tion of the great advantages derived.from care
ful scientific farming can scarcely be found.—
Agriculturists will not fail to note and and
profit by it.
The Albany Argus says if Mr. Lincoln's Ad
ministration does not take measures to restore
harmony, "we will then carry this issue down
to the electors—with the friends of the Union,
of peace, of National brotherhood, of National
prosperity and happiness, arrayed on one side,
and the enemies of all these gathered on the
other. No sagacious man can doubt upon which
banner victory will perch. The enemies of
the Union, those who rally under the gag of
'No Compromise—no Concession,' will be routed
and dispersed, and then may we hope for the
adoption of Constitutional remedies for the
present National troubles_ If the Administra
tion of Mr. Lincoln choose to refuse all adjust
ment and carry this question to the polls, we
accept the issue."
Ix reviewing the Inaugural of Mr. LINCOLN
the Missouri Republican says: We fail to see
in it any disposition to sweep partizan plat
forms and party policies aside, but its guarded
words and studied sentences seem, on the con
trary, to have been prompted by the sole idea
of meeting the expectations of the Republicans
who elected him. Mr. Bates, the Attorney
General of the new Administration, while wri
ting of the Chicago resolutions, last summer,
said that party platforms are commonly made
"with the view to conciliate present support
rather than to establish a permanent system of
principles," and "are hardly ever acted upon
in practice ;" but President Lincoln, it would
appear, recognizes no such ruie. So inflexibly
does he stand by the Chicago platform, and so
requisite to success does he regard his devotion
to it, that one of the first things he does is to
call attention to this partisan creed.
We hoped for a more conservative and more
conciliatory expression of sentiment. Much
Will now depend upon the putting in practice
of the ideas advanced. That will test the ques
tion, be it one of expediency or of right,
whether the forts can be held or retaken, and
revenues collected, without producing—what
Mr. Lincoln says he wishes to avoid—violence
and bloodshed. God knows, we wish the prob
lem could be solved peaceably and honorably.
Under his guidance, and with the blessings
of God, I believe and trust, and confidently
expect, that an Administration that is inaugu
rated amid some distrust and painful appre•
pension, will close upon a re-united, restored,
prosperous, free and happy republic. The State
of New York, the greatest and most powerful
of the States, will lead all other States in the
way of conciliation; and as the path of wisdom
is always the path of peace, so I am sun that
now we shall . find that the way of conciliation
is the way of wisdom.—Mr. Seward in Washing
ton, Nareh 4th.
"The way of conciliation is the way of wis
dom." So says Mr. Seward, and his words
speak hope for the Union. A spirit of forbear
ance, and a determination to render equal jus
tice, may yet effect a great change in the minds
of Southern men.
But suppose the opposite course is adopted,
and the " force" policy is resorted to. The
whole South will then fly to arms as one man,
and secession will become a permanent insti
tution, eventually to be recognized as such—
perhaps after terrific slaughter and desolation_
The only hope is, that, whatever may be the
avowed determination of the President to "en
force the laws," there will first be a long inter
val, industriously improved to show that, in
spite of all evidence to the contrary, the domi
nant party is now prepared to cut loose from
rash and fanatical counsellors, and to do justice
to all sections of the country_ I' ow is the golden
opportunity. Is there in the new Cabinet
enough of true conservatism and of statesman
ship to improve it? or must the Union be
plunged into the horrors of civil war ?
Truly, " the way of conciliation," in the
present emergency, is " the path of wisdom,"
and the only one which offers any hope for a
peaceful solution of ow gra.ve national diffi
culties.
The Rush fur Office.
The number of applicants for office under the
new Administration is past all calculation.—
We find in the Journal of Commerce the follow
ing statement of the rush for office in New
York :
The rush for the snug Federal berths in this
city is perfectly terrific. Some papers are
publishing what purports to be lists of candi
dates for all the principal offices ; but, es com
pared to the vast frantic hest in the eity and
surrounding countryw- 'h
a are pressing their
claims on the President, publicly or privately,
through papers, individuals or organizations,
those catalogues of candidates, long as they
are, are but a drop in the bucket. Every Re
publican editor, every stump speaker, every
defeated candidate for Congress or city or
Minty offices, every committee man, every he
roic Republican who made a martyr and a
laughing stock of himself last fall by wearing
a coachman's oil cloth cape and carrying a
smoky lamp through the streets—all these are
scut only "willing" but anxious to shoulder the
burdens of Federal office. With common in
stinct, they begin by asking for a first class
place, leaving plenty of room to It fall" in the
extent of their demands. There are probably
not less than one hundred strong applicants for
every important Federal office in this city—and
behind them come a countless swarm of candi
dates for the petty places. In fact, the whole
Republican party in New York is a candidate
for—the best it can . get.
The local spoils are rich. The Collectorship
is worth $6,340 in annual salary, and at least
$30,000 in yearly fees. The Surveyor receives
$4,900 salary and fees equal to the Collector.
The Naval Officer has $5,000 salary, and fees
equal to those of his associates. As one-half
of the proceeds of all sales of property seized
by the Custom House officers is divided between
the Collector, Naval Officer and Surveyor, (the
other half going to the general government,)
their revenues may be almost indefinitely in
creased by vigilance and energy. The pa
tronage of these three offices is immense—the
Collector alone having the appointment of an
army of persons. The Navy Agent is entitled
to only. $3,000 from his fees, and is expected
to pay the rest over to Government.
lER. BUCWANAN AT HOME.
LANCASTER, March 6.—Mr. Buchanan was
received here this afternoon by a large con
course of his fellow citizens. The civil and
military procession was several squares in
length. The arrival of the special train was
greeted with a national salute of thirty-four
guns and the ringing of bells, Mr. Buchanan
is accompanied by Miss Harriet Lane and Miss
Hetty Parker. The procession was composed
of the Mayor and City Councils, the firemen,
Fencibles and Jackson Rifles, and large dele
gations from the country. It halted at Centre
Square, when Mr. Preston, on behalf of the
Baltimore City Guards, made a neat speech,
handing Mr. Buchanan over to Mayor Sander..
son.
Mayor Sanderson delivered the following
address:
ADDRESS OF MAYOR SANDERSON, OF LANCAS
TER, TO EX-PRESIDENT BUCHANAN.
Mr. Buchanan, Honored Sir :—lt is my
pleasure to have been deputized by the citizens
of Lancaster, irrespective of party, to extend
to you a cordial welcome back to your own
home and fireside, and to those social enjoy
ments and courtesies from your old neighbors
and friends, from which you have been, in a
great measure debarred for the last four years,
owing to the pressing public duties which
necessarily engaged your attention.
You, sir, have long been in the service of
your country in different capacities, and now,
after having received from the people of the
United States the highest honor in the Republic,
you gracefully retire from the perplexities and
responsibilities of official station, and return
to spend the evening of your protracted and
eventful life in the place made sacred to you
by the recollections of half a century. After
having served your country faithfully and well,
at home and abroad, you at length seek the
repose of your beloved Wheatland, without a
solitary aspiration for the future, except an
ardent desire for the welfare and happiness of
your countrymen, and the perpetuity of our
republican institutions.
Your administration of the General Govern ,
meat, sir, will be marked in the histcry of the
nation as the most eventful one since the day
of the Father of his Country. From your
accession to the Presidency until the close of
your term, you had difficulties to encounter
which were not experienced by any of your
distinguished predecessors in the high office,
and you retire from the Chair of State at a
perilous time, when, through the machinations
of foreign and domestic foes commenced years
ago, the nation trembles from its centre to its
circumference...wham amen of our sister States
are in open rebellion against the authority of
the General Government, and when the dangers
of civil war and bloodshed are fearfully immi
nent. That such a sad condition of things is
deprecated by you, as it is by every true
hearted patriot in the land, cannot be doubted.
We know your heartfelt devotion to the
Union ; we know that you anticipated and
faithfully warned your fellow citizens, time
and again, of the dangers that at the present
moment menace the country ; and now that the
troubles you predicted with true statesmanlike
sagacity, as the result of a sectional contro
versy of long duration are upon us, in all
their horror and intensity, short of the shed.
ding of fraternal blood, which has so far been
happily averted by your calmness and prudence,
I am sure that no language which I can employ
will be sufficient to express the deep feeling of
grief which must pervade your bosom at the
discordant and dissevered condition of the
country.
Your fellow citizens of Lancaster county, sir,
have differed in opinion as to the propriety or
policy of some of the measures of your Admin
istration. This, of course, was to have been
expected, as no previous Adrainistra.tbn has
been exempt from pass ng through the same
ordeal, but all are willing to admit that your
intentions were honest and patriotic in what
you did, and that the welfare, the glory and
perpetuity of the Union, were near and dear to
your hear. all the time.
Believing this, sir, thousands of your old
neighbors and acquaintances have assembled
here to-day for the purpose of bidding you wel
come, at the same time trusting that, in your
retirement, you may long live and enjoy the
confidence and esteem of those to whom you
are endeared by a thousand recollections, not
only from your eminent public services in the
councils of the nation, but also from your pri
vate benefactions in the county.
It only remains for me, sir, on behalf of the
people of Lancaster county, to bid you a hearty
welcome to your old home. I perform the task
with pleasure, and extend to you the hand of
friendship and fraternal feeling, invoking upon
you heaven's choicest blessing in time and in
eternity.
MR. BUCHANAN'S REPLY TO THE MAYOR
Mr. Buchanan replied substantially as fol
lows:
My old neighbors, friends and fellow citi
zens :—I have not language to express the feel
ings which swell in my heart on this occasion;
I do most cordially thank you for this demon
stration of your personal kindness to an old
man who comes back to you, ere long to lay his
bones at rest with your fathers, And here let
me say, that having visited almost every clime
under the sun, my heart has ever turned to
Lancaster as the spot where I would wish to
live and die, and be buried. When yet a young
man, in far remote Russia, my heart was still
with your fathers—my friends and neighbors
in good old Lancaster. (Applause.)
And although I have always been true to you,
I have not been half so true to you as you have
been to me. Your fathers took me up when a
young man, and fostered and cherished me
through many long years. All these have pas
sed away, and I stand before you to-day as a
man living in a second generation. (A voice—
I saw you mount your horse when you marched
to Baltimore, in 1812.) I feel with all my heart,
though in the midst of posterity, that these
sons are manifesting the same kindness which
their fathers would have done, had they lived
to this day. Generations of mortal men rise
and sink and are forgotton, but the kindness of
the past generation to me, now conspicuous in
their sons, can never be forgotten.
I come home, fellow-citizens, to pass the re
mainder of my dnys among you, as a good citi
zen, a faithful friend, an adviser to those who
need advice, and a benefactor of the widows
and fatherless. (Loud applause.) All politi
cal aspirations have departed. All that I have
done during a somewhat protracted public life
has passed into history, and if I have done
aught to offend a single citizen I now sincerely
ask his pardon.
May God grant that this Union and Consti
tution may be perpetual. (Applause.)
I close by repeating the sentiment dear to
my heart. God grant that the Constitution and
the Union may be perpetual, and continue a
shield of protection to ourselves and our chil
dren forever.
BUCtIANAN retired amid enthusissiie ap
plause. He then resumed his place in the car
riage, and was escorted to Wheatland.
OCCUPATION OF SYRIA.—The period fixed by
the treaty for the occupation of Syria by the
French troops expired on the 8d of this month,
It is probable that by this time the Conference
which was to meet at Paris to make arrange
ments for the future governmrnt of the pro•
vince is in session. It is understood that the
Commission of Inquiry appointed by the Euro
pean Governments to report to the Conference,
has adopted a plan, of which the following are
the principal features: It recommends that a
Pacha, invested with power for life, shall ad
minister the affairs of the Province, with the
title of Governor General. A fifth of its reve
nues is to go to the Porte, the remainder being
employed for internal expenses. A constitution,
to be agreed upon between the Sultan and the
Great Powers, is to be given to the Province,
and its execution is to be watched over by the
Consuls General at Beirut.
A Divan, elected by the votes of each district
in proportion to the number of inhabitants, is
to form a consulting council for the Pacha, and
no more Ottoman troops are to be sent into Syria
from Constantinople, but are to be replaced by
military forces raised in the province itself.—
The Lebanon and anti-Lebanon districts are to
have at their head a Caruslean, dependent on
the Pacha, and an Ottoman subject, though of
the Catholic religion, Two Camaicans, one
Maronite, and the other Druse, are to be under
him to govern the two populations which occupy
the mountain, and the government of the mined
villages is to be constituted in such a manner as
to have their inhabitants always placed accor
ding to their religion, under the direct authority
of one of their own faith.
This plan appears calculated to do away with
all the difficulties arising out of the religious
feuds of the population and the substitution
of the authority of the Porte by a foreign force.
It remains to be seen - whether Prance, in the
prosecution of the designs imputed to it, will
throw any obstacles in the way of its adoption.
GENERAL NEWS.
BLOODY AFFAIR IN HARDIN COUNTY, KY.—We
learn, says the Louisville Courier of Monday,
from Capt. Wtn. H. Taylor, conductor on the
L. and N. Railroad, of a tragic affair in Hardin
county on Saturday. Thos. H. Duncan, a mer
chant of Elizabethtown, paid a visit to his in
valid mother, who was residing at Stephens
burg, in that county, with another son, Herson
Duncan. An altercation ensued between the
brothers in reference to alleged ill-treatment of
the mother. Herson seized a shot-gun with
hostile intent, but Thomas shot him with a re
volver before he could bring the gun to bear
on him. A son of Herson's then caught the
gun and knocked Thomas down. While beat
ing him, the latter shot his nephew, the ball
entering his abdomen,
IMMIGRATION AT NEW YORK.—The whole
number of passengers landed at the port of
New York during the year 1860, was 155,371,
viz: from Ireland, 47,350 ; from England 11,-
361 ; and 8,582 from other countries. Of these
50,209 were citizens or persons not subject to
bond or commutation; and 105,163 were aliens,
for whom commutation was paid or bonds exe
cuted, showing an increase in alien emigrants
of 25,840 more than 1859, and 28,573 more than
in 1858, but being 78,611 less than in the year
1857, and 37,180 lees than 1856; while the pro
portion to the average of former years, since
1846, is less than half.
A BLACK MAN AT THE FRENCH COURT.—Na
poleon gave a grand ball just before the begin
ning of Lent, and a correspondent of the Eve
ning Post writes: "At this ball a stout, burly
negro, black as ebony, with the wooliest of hair
and whiskers, and the thickest of lips, wearing
a magnificient order, was received with the
utmost distinction by the Imperial pair, and
by the grandees of the court. This sable per
sonage was the son of the ex-Emperor Sou
longue, the once high and mighty Duke of
Marmelade, received at the Turneries with all
the respect paid in courts to the scions of fallen
royalty—white or black."
THE BORDER SLAVE STATES IN CONORESS.
In the present Congres Delaware has 1 repre
sentative, Maryland 6, Virginia 13, North Car
olina 8, Kentucky IQ, Tennessee 10, Missouri
7, Arkansas 2—total 57. Under the census of
1860, Virginia loses 2, North Carolina 1, Ten
nessee 2, Kentucky 2—total 7. Missouri gains
2 and Arkansas I—total 8. A net loss of 4.
So that under the new apportionment, the eight
border slave States will have only 53 votes.—
The anti-slavery States will have 150 votes
under the new census, nearly three times as
many as the border slave States have.
NEW YORK Is THE PLACE TO LIVE IN.—The
New York Commercial Advertiser says the Poly
technic Association is, at its next meeting, to
be feasted with sugar made by chemical trans
formation from old rags, and with pudding
made from the gelatine of old shoes. Leather
being composed of tannin and gelatine, the
tannic acid is extracted, and the gelatine is
then purified from the discoloring tannite of
iron, after which it is fit for culinary purposes.
It should have added the limitation—"in the
commercial emporium."
THE COMMISSION OF CAPT. SCH/EPFER STILL
WITHHELD,—The report that Captain Soli wirer,
of the District militia, had received his com
mission turns out to be untrue. Mr. Buchanan,
on an appeal being made to him, ordered it to
be delivered, but the Secretary still refused on
account of Captain Sob mffer's refusal to declare
that he would aid the General Government in
coercing Virginia and Maryland in case either
seceded. The President not desiring to make
an issue with a member of his cabinet, allowed
the commission to remain suspended,
MINORITY PRESIDENTS.—In 1824 Mr. Adams,
who was in a minority of 141,420, and who had
much less than half of the popular vote, was
elected by the House of Representatives. In
1844 Mr. Polk was elected by the people, and
was in a minority of 24,119. In 1848 General
Taylor was elected. He was in a minority of
151,708. In 1866 Mr. Buchanan was elected.
He was in a minority of 378,620. In 1860 Mr.
Lincoln aas elected. He was in a minority of
946,650 of the popular vote.
JAPAN.—The Government at Washington has
received late dispatches from Japan, from
which we learn that the port of Osaca will be
open on the Ist of January, 1862, instead of
1863, as contemplated by the treaty with the
United States. The treaty with Prussia re
ceives this advantage, and this country in com
mon with the most fovored nations, shares in
the advantage.
Mr. Sheffield, a wealthy property owner in
New Haven. Conn., has written to a tenant of
one of his Chapel street stores the following
note : "Dear Slit On aeootint of the hard times
your rent will be reduced two hundred dollars
for the next two years!" Might not other
landlords go and do likewise, with real profit
to all hands?
General Scott, it is said, will endeavor to
have two regiments added to the United Mates
army the coming summer; or, if that is not
acceded to, be will endeavor to have double
battalions to one or two. The proportion of
mounted persons in the army is not PO large as
it should be considering the exigencies of bor
der duty.
THE INAUGURAL FOR ENGLAND.--It is stated
that a lengthy synopsis of the inaugural was on
Monday evening transmitted to St. Johns, N. F.,
thence to be forwarded by steamtug to inter
cept the steamship Fulton, bound to Europe,
off Cape Race.
The California Legislature, by a vote of 41
to 32, have expunged the , resolutions of censure
formerly passed against the late Senator Bro
derick.
No loss than $1,560,000 are invested in bee
culture in Ohio.
MURDER AT CONESTOGA CENTRE.—A colored
woman, at Conestoga Centre, Lancaster county,
on Monday, alleged that her husband, Abraham
Allen, had been murdered in his bed. The
neighbors repaired to Allen's house, and found
him on the bed, eut and hacked in a frightful
manner, and just expiring. No person was
seen about the premises, and it was at once
suspected that the woman was the murderer.
She was accordingly arrested.
POLITICAL CONDITION Or THE SENATE.—The
Republicans have now a majority in the U. S.
Senate. They have now 29 votes against 24
on the Democratic side. The vacancies of Mr.
Green. of Mo., and Mr. Gwin, of Cal., have yet
to be filled, but they will be followed by Dem
ocratic successors. It is expected that the
present officers of the Senate will he changed,
except, perhaps, the venerable secretary, Mr.
Dickens.
ARREST OP FUGITIVE SLAVES.—Within a few
days several fugitive slaves from Maryland and
Virginia have been arrested in the District of
Columbia. An effort was made in Philadelphia,
en Monday, to arrest a fugitive slave woman
from Washington city. She Aided the officers,
however, by secreting herself.
CELEBRATED AT PANAMA.—The annaversary
of the birthday of George Washington, the 22d
of February, was duly honored in the harbor of
Panama by the firing of a national salute from
the United States flag-ship Lancaster, United
States sloop St. Marys, and H. B. M.'s ship
Mutine.
