THE WEATHER . , , For a week past, we have had fall weath er in earnest. On Sunday morning last it commenced snowing and continued through the day, leaving tho redfs and the neighbor ing hills covered with a vyhite mantle. During.the week wo have had several hail squalls; but tho weather has how changed to a pleasant warmth, with a clear sky, and every appearance of the beginning of an In dian summer. We have neither space in our columns to devote to, nor time to bandy words with, the contemptible' Echo" of the Sentinel 5 nor shall wo descend to place our democra- ey, or our honesty of purpose Upon a level with his; but merely say, for the present. that his assertion, that we have offered our services to tho whigs for $250, or for any other sum, is false, and without the least shadow of foundation in truth, and could bnly hav'e.erninal'ed from a brain as shallow and senseless as his. 4 .

Ail wo know of the matter is, that the notice was handed ib lis, by a democratic friend of Mr. Uteler, as by authority, with a request for publica lion, and Mr. Ikclcr has novor intimated to us, not even at the time when he requested .

Tho federalists ouglit to know that Gov ernor Porter was an early friend of reform and tliat his name appears conspicuously among, those in favor of a convention at an early day; and we have never hard that he has changed his sentiments. The amend ment;, 'although not quite as democratic as was desired, are still much more so than the old constitution. The assertion that Governor Porter has "nothing but a barren sceptro left," is well answered by the following, from the Easton Democrat. 1. He has the absolute ahd uncontrolled appointrnont of al jh.e, projhonotari.es, clerks of courts, Registers and recorders in the va rious counties, fronvtlie lime. of his inaugur ation Until tlie b'econd Tuesday of October ncxl- ' , . 2. He has the absoluto and uncontrolled appointment of all thq Inspectors, &e. in the. city and county of Philadelphia, and other parts of the state, with sundiy other offices in (he. said city and county. , 3. Ho has the absoluto arid uncontrolled appointment of his attorney genera), cabinet officers, and canal eonim'issioners,,on whom no small number of offices nre, dependent. 4. Ho will have a brancli of, patronage to an extent that no other Governor over possessed or probably ever will possess. '.. ...

Mr, Printer, In my travels through our county, I lave often been surprised to see so few Sheqp.in the, fields, .and those I do see, only of,avery, Inferior,, k(nd., The kccping,of Sheep is important not merely in a nation al point of viewbut, ajjsp,( when rightly managed, profitable, to the, farmer. .Your correspondent, ppnfuclus,'' in your last weeks paper, has proved cpu.clusivqlyv;the necessity of fixing cmr domestic .manufac tures upon a permanent ,uasia j permit me, then, ..through your columns, to coupon the fanner, to enter more largely into, the Sheep bijsin,es., , Every practical and sci entific farmer will tell you that a continued cropping will exhaust t the soil, and render it unfit for the cutivatipn of grain. Hence the necessity of having a rotation of crops, succeeded by a crop of clover, .which is considered sufficient to resuscitate the. . soil and prepare it for another rotation. This ic, however, found upon experience, to be HnufKcienl, and the barren. fields which we see in every direction, is proof positive that I am correct 111 my assertion. Manure is scarce and dear; lime is only profitable when it can bo obtained under fificen cents per bushel, and, in orudr to bring our fields in to a proper state, of cultivation, I know no other remedy than to keep sheep. The manure of sheep is very grateful to the soil, and I have known fields, which were con sidered incapable of producing grain, being laid dowh in grass and cropped lor a tew years by a flock of sheep, wero again rich and fertile'. In Dutchess county. New York, and in the eastern States generally, tho farmers have realized many advantages in raisiug sheep. They pay, from fifty to eighty dollars per acre foi land, and several of them have assured me that, when they can obtain forty to sixty cents per pound for wpol,.,thpy will do much bqtter than by raising broad stuff., Thoy do .not, however, raise sheep exclusively; but they calculate ono sheep for every acre, of.ground that is under cultivation, and having a, sufficient number of acres in grass for pasture, uuring tho summer, the rest is put in summer or wintpr grain. Here we pay for our uplands equal inequality to theirs, from twenty to twenty-five dollars an acre. Now if it is profitable to keep sheep in Dutchess county then it must assuredly bo more so in Co- lumoia county wnerc mo lanu is so mucn cheaper. , The quality of our 3heep must, however, be first improved, before we ea'ri jjo ipib the I 1 . j . ran V t sneep ousiness witn pront. i lie iUarino breed is very small, but has tho best wool ; the Saxon breed is larger but,, on the other haiid, tho wool is not quite so fine..,. In the eastern States these two breeds arc gener ally grossed; and by this method the wool of.theSaxon is improved, and the carpass of theMarijio niade more strong and healthy. I think that citlier tlie, Marino or Saxon crossed with our common, sheep would im prove our stock very much. Permit mo again to call tho attention of your leaders to my lafe communication re specting the propriety of organizing a County Agricultural Society. If men of talents and influenoo would take hold of the matter, I can assure you that lasting and be- ncuuiiii rutsuus win oe me consequence. W. J. E. The Grand Jiesult in Ohio.
