The squire was a good equire and, shun- ning nuiie of those mysterious responsibilities wealth is supposed to bring, lived much among his tenantry, and made his forty thousand a year as serviceable to the interests t the land and its cultivators, as his lights permitted.

He had a weakness s great a- to Ik1 little short of calamity, that of giving way to gusts of sudden passion, terrible in their intensity, and rendered more grievous to witne-s by the disproportion to them of the exciting cause.

The two gentlemen walked away. Thomas's great pale blue eyes would lave opened wider still had he known that the cow-'us was a myth, and the smith no more intent than himself on soiling his Nindav hoots in the locality he had deseriled. Mr. Fullafield had been the last subject of conver sation between Mr. and Mrs Tafley, as they concluded their walk ; aud the former, like Thomas, had taken a resolution. Mr. Fulla field had been enough ' about tlie place, and the worth' smith, who knew his daugh ter's feeling, and drew a wide distinction be teeu an honest, though misjuitced, n flect ion, and a fine-gen tl em an tapriee for a rustic beauty, resolved to warn oft Thomas, for his own good, aa he would have done tbe squire's sons in Katy's in tercet-. Both strode on for a moment in silence Then Thomas fearing that the slush, to which they ere undoubtedly approaching, might nterfere with the dialogue, commenced it.

They call hcr'my lady,' and they 'specfto make her one. I'll spoil that game.'

Mr. Tafley, on presenting himself, next ' morning, at the hall, was shown into the study. The squire had been walking up and down for some minutes. Now and then, he would pause to scowl upward at one or oilier of the Vere-Vavasours that adorned the wall, whose self-complacent but rather vacant faces returned tlie look with delightful ind.flerence. There was another picture, a gay gallant , wooing, or aflecting to woo, a peasant-girl, 1 and this apt eared to be a f avorite of Mr. Hur- j bandine'8 ; for, as he gazed, the bard expres- ' sion faded from his countenance, and gave way to an approving smile.

As thoughtful men euney the present state of agriculture, and discovering the necetity fur improvement, cast about for the means of establishing some permanent system whieh 6 hall lead forward the whole agricultural community to higher and grander results they turn unerringly to our common schools. If fanners' sons arc to be elevated above the mere traditional system of their fathers, they mutt be interested, intellectually, in the pro cesses of agriculture, and tbe common school furnishes the only means of reaching this great mass of mind. The Hurai was the early advocate of the introduction of agricultural science into com mon schools, and we are pleased to see that our new (.'ommissioner of Agriculture is im pressed with the same views He says, 1 Colleges are everywhere springing up, and the right men will, eventually, he found to I fill professorship, and great g-d will finally result, while comparative sunt s-es will, lor many years, be mingled with failures, in the numerous experiments grow ing out of these 1 great educational enterprises. Iiut the facili ties to be furnished by these sehools will ncv- 1 er reach directly the great mass of the child ren in common public scliools. Would it n t he well to introduce into every district school in this country some primary works inculcat ing elementary principles of science in their f application to the practice of agriculture? 1 An interest in agricultural education would thus arise among the youth in common j schools, from whose ranks our new industrial colleges would ta filled." lie then goes on to say that a series of manuals of foreign or igen, upon agricultural geology, chemistry. farm accounts, larm practice, anu uoinesuc economy, have been submitted, as the basis 1 - . . .. , 1 ... ofsuchinsUuction in common K-hoote ; but he comes to the rational conclusion that these t works should be snnnlieel bv American writ ers. Ue says - " The peculiar circumstances of American agriculture render necessary, works expressly prepared to mtet such oondi tions. Who is able to prepare one or more such manuals in a manner worthy of the sub ject and of this progressive era ? He who 1 could worthily accomplish it would he a great public benefactor. There are good farmers who know little of science, and men of sci ence with less knowledge or agriculture ; and ' it is diticult to find a thoroughly scientific writer who is also thoroughly acquainted with agricultural practice, and is" thus able to ap ply correctly tbe principle!) of abstract science to the processes of agriculture. A clear thinker, anil a lucid writer who could thus unite truth with action, and thought to labor would he worthy of hiirhor honors than the greatest savans of the time. Here the Commissioner has, no doubt gone to the bottom foundation stone of what must 1 be the basis of our future agricultural ednca- ' tion the common school. But American ramd has already begun t leve!ape these manuals. We hare a letter elementary treatise fur primary schools, in ' Waring's elements ot Agriculture than can be found in any similar EuroMiin production I- 1 I there be a demand for these elementary works, and they will he produced suited to the purpose. The first thing to 1- done is to educate tbe public mind to the necessity of in traducing this nut important branch into our common schools. Y. tn Rural Xhr Yorker.

Say and act all this as if we meant it, audi mean it. If the tribes would go and submit pea ceably, well and good ; if they would not, use the force necessary to make them.

One of them, a Tery small painting, evidently by some pupil of Van lyke, represent ed tfhakesare lying in state after death. It is dated lfiHT, twenty-one years after Shakespeare died. The idea tliat it was painted from n cast was at once conceived ; an inv estimation revealed that there had been a plaster mask in the Kes selstadt collection, which, on account of its death-like expression, had not been accounted of much value at the sale. A prolonged search fin ally discovered this mask among a lot of rags and other worthier articles in the possession of a dealer in old trap On cnniparin with the picture, it was found that the conjecture res pecting it wai correct. It was the original of the painting, and beyond doubt was taken from Shake-peare's own face. 1 Ilia mask an 1 the little picture are now as vre said, in tbe possession of 1W. Owen. On the hack of the iua-k is inserted Anno lomini IMo."

It is quite round and full everywhere, but a care ful examination discloses, an exceedingly fine va riety in the surface, as If each phrenological organ, so to say, had been very rally and yet independently developed. The nostrils have been (rayed by time, and one of the eyes is owewhat disfigured by a little of the plaster sticking in the lashes. But there is no great emaciation about the face, nor any sign of decay. It is evident that the mask was taken iutmcliately after death. It is believed that this mask was also the TF v 1 C. 1 Johnson. That work was doubtless cut from h m nM ani thw fe lfficient Hftn MnM,:v :N A. nH r k- Mad, to make it btgUy protia4te that one of the two was wrought after the other But, unlike the bust, tbe noble intellectual beauty of the mask is almost beyond description.

PiTmi.n m V. Nwbt, P. I (Wich is Postmaster.) Gebbit Smith to Ge. Lao. Oerrit Smith publi-be a letter to Gen Lee, in which be tells huu onie pretty plain and useful truths. He argues that Lee letter toltoseersss foreshadows the re-es UbuVhment of slavery, although it dis claims such a purpoee. He says : Your letter virtually denies that to en4ave your fellow-men is to 'oppress them. Nay, it goes so far a, in effect, to declare that to dooni them and their endless posterity to stripe ami ebains and unrequited toil and rnyless ignorance and the loss of every right, m to look upon them with kind cess.' If you gtnUemea do not see that to enalave men in the past waj to oppress them,' ami to bek kindness toward them, wby should it be supposed that you would see op- pression or ua kindness in their future enslave- nient? If you justify, insteail of condemning, yourelTes for having heretofore crushed the negro, what is there in your hearts to hold you luck from crushing him hereaflerl If slavery is pleasant for you to look back upon, why should it not, also, 1 pleasant for you to look forward to?" Mr. Smith concludes his letter by saying tliat Mr. Seymour will not be elected. If he should be, Blair would become President He says: ''Seymour would have to tand aide or 1 put aside. If this Murder Tarty, which has within the last three years murdered, for their political opinion, more than a thousand men at tbe South, t-hall come to be in tbe ascend-int all 1 over the land, murder may be well-nigh as i common tn the North as in the South Human I life in this country would be made as cheap by 1 the success of the pirty, whkh, not in spite, i bat in consequence of its murderous program me, nominated General Itlair for Vice-PrwidVnt ; aye, and empirically, for rrcMdeat abo." We -ee no object for 44 the Murder Party to put Gov. Seymour aside. He would be quite aa servicable a tool as they ever had in the presidential chair, Buchanan not excepted. ('aniilln Agniu. Major Howard ha btn making additional in vestigatioas into the Camilla butchery. Captain Pierce, the Coagnasio&ftt caads late, and Captain Murphy, the lreatdeutial elector, who were to address the assemblage, and who were both wounded, gave their depositions on the Pub n't. Their testimony wholly corroborates the view of the massacre taken by this journal at the outset, and axes the responsibility where it belongs. Captain Murphy ny : Upon enter ing tbe town I discovered two dinVrent crowds of men armed with guns, arranged in such posi tions as to crossfire over the public square.' He continues : Captain Pierce and Mr. lutney had alighted from the buggy, and were standing in the porti co ol the Court House ; tbe band-wagon was about fifty yards from the Court House, when a man rushed from near the armed body of men, at a ston ear by, down toward tbe waeon, and oruered I to stop ; his order not being obeyed, h ured a double-barreled shot-gun. The position of thh) man was such, being on the other side of the wagon from me. that I cannot swear positively that i saw him point the gun toward the wagon, bat I am satisfied that he did shoot into the band-wagon. This fire was fol lowed by a volley from the crowd at tbe store. I was in tbe midst of the freedmen, and I am confident that not a single shot was fired by them until after the man alluded to had fired, and un til the volley had been fired by the crowd. It id true that the volley from the crowd at the store and the volley from ihe negroes were close to gether, that from the former was a little in ad vance, and about the wme lime the fire was opened from tlie crowd of white men on tbe South ide of the square. The fire from tbe I crowd on tne South ssle or tbe square was main ly directed at Captain Pierce and Mr. Putney. I know of but two freedmrn killed in the town, wjiere all the resistance nn tbe part of freedmen was made. All the others were followed up, and shot down aa they fled a-ross tb fields and wixds. Peter Hi ties, the leader of the baud, wu wounded, and all the members of the Inutd were kilbd and wounded; Mr. Putney was wounded in the arm. I was wounded in the bead. Captain Pierce also says, " moat of the killed were killed after they were scattered and fleeing through the woods. ' Lieutenant Smith (colored) testified that when Jatn4 John found the Republicans determined to have their "say," he said : Come on, then, hy God we'll meet you ! William Outlaw (colored) swore that he was looking directly at the man who fired the first shot at the bawl wagon ; and that he saw him de liberately aim at the musicians and fire. John Byrd (colored) testified that he, after a&ttlstiug to bury same of the colored men who had been killed in the course of tbe fight, came home to Mr. 1 utliftVi plantation, and soon some fifteen white men on horseback dashed up to the plantation, anu when Mr. lutlm asked what they wanted, they aud they were bunting for a damned nigger named Chester Hooper, tu Kin mm. What was so clearly indicated before L now corroborated : Jimf, that the whites assembled in armed bands to prevent tbe holding of the Re publican gathering ; teeondhfi that one of their number, James Johns, deliberately fired into the musicians' wagon, and this was the signal for the caimenoement of the butchery; thirdly, that the blacks mode Bole or do resistance, but broke and nod : fourthly, that they were p ir ned on the by-ways and into the thickets, and shot down in eokt blood. Nt)mur in ItHOl. We find the following in die Vermunt Jour nal. The writer has always been a Democrat, but tnce the nomination ia July, he thinks the party "went back on him : Mo.

Ia October, 186-1, when my regiment was in camp at Baton Rouge, La., the 14th X. Y. Cav alry we received at Regimental Headquarters, a box of the necessary blank affidavits, &c, from tbe Democratic Secretary of State, (D. R. FWyd Jones, I believe,) accompanied by a large box of ballots, that they were kind enough to furnish. The ballots were both for Heetoral oud ate candidates, but every one of the tickets were tbe Mt Clellan one?-, and all the State tickets were hended by the name of Horatio Seymour ! I was Adjutant of the Kep ment, ondjto every soldier, (if a voter,) that desired to rote that ticket. I administered the oath and filled t ut affidavit; bat to all who desired to vote for the Lincoln Electoral ticket I had to explain th it we had no ballots, it being too late to order them Soldiers ore uow apprAled to again, to vote for the same candidate ; but now, fortunately, have a choice of ballot. Remembering as I do, the cheers that were in Stonewall Jackson V corps, on tbe 7 th of Not em ber, 162, over Seymour's election, aad the load and hearty response of the mob ia New "rk, to his speech in tbe City lull I 'ark, to huth of whieh I was a witness, I think that as a vldier, anxicus to maintain the same cause now for whieh I fought then, I cannot hesitate in decid ing whether Heratio Seymour shall reu-ive my vote. I remember that when ray Color tl, Ihram Bassfbrd, reer-ived hi commit n at Mbany, from the hand- of Governor Seymour, in the summer of 1n4, the Governor, reading the commission, " The State of New Yxikbythe grace of Got), free and independent," ircasti cally commented upon it by adding, " s ! and only by the taoeof God Was that a patri otic nn I ui'- iraging remark to a brave scUicr wh"bid - nt thrte eai-in his rt.un try's -cr-vke I l-eir thii testimony the more wibicgly an I h id U-en Iokiu to the New Valv d uvetitioii, for the can lidate whom I should uj j ' t m this cinip ngn Yours truly.

Ynm th 1 n i ted Mate Montpehvr Freema1 enator. 1 he .ipproaching session of the Legnl-Uure will hive, as it.- most important work, tbe election of a I iiited Mates Senttor for mi years from the to u rth uf March next. We presume Mr. Kd-nmiiL-, the henator whose term expires next Mmh, wi'l tie unanioiouffly telixleii ua his own "uccevor. certainly we know nothing in his pub lic i-u-eer, awl have learned of no feeling in the M it. vthi.h teail us to any different tnelusion. Mr. Kdmunds was appotntei in the Spring of . n the tleath of Senatoi F t, a Senator during the remaining recess of tlie Legislature, and when the Legislature assembled be was chosen without opposition for Mr. Foot's unex pired term. He entered at once upon active work in his new position, and long ago earned the State reputation as a legislator at Washing ton, which he acquired here. He is a quick ami accurate thinker, and a man who works while the re is any work to do; am! these habits put him at once into the front rank in the Senate, and st firtt led some of the older members to criticise him as too omeious for a new member. When they fouml.however.thathe was not puihing himself into notice, but simply pushing the pub lic business; that it was his habit to investigate, wugh and jude every measure before the Sen ate, before acting or speaking upon it; and that he shed light instead of darkness upon every question he touched; they were soon quite ready to let him pull as strong an oar as any one. A good evidence f his present position is found in the fact that be presented in the Repub lican caucus, at the recent assembling of Con gress, the resolution which was adopted after considerable opposition by that body, and after ward by the solid vote of the Republicans in both Houses, providing for an adjournment until October 16th, and then until November Itrth. His clear apprehension of what the crisis demanded, ami his promptitude in preparing knd presenting the fruit of his thought, made him in that, as they make Mm in whatever he does, a natural leader; and he is this, as it always seemed to us, without ostentation, and because he gets ready for work before most men do, and seizes at once upon practical methods of procedure. We have no time and there is no need to go ' over Mr. Edmunds', whole coarse in the Senate, He has been criticised, u every man will be who acts promptly and energetically upon his own judgment, and he finds himself sometimes j with the minority, as well as often with the majority of the Senate. He has shown himself. however, on all political questions, to be folly in accord with the advanced Republicanism of the people of Vermont, his pUce being clearly among the Radical Republicans cf the Senate and of the country. In our House of Represen tatives, and in our State Senate he was one of the most useful members; and we can but think thit there is now in the United States Senate no mm wro has greater capacity and greater in clination for legislative Work, who has a better tusciplinedora more active intellect, who has greater leal or energy in the public service, win. is more familiar with parliamentary law or the methods of legislation, who is more thoroughly ami consistently Republican in his principles, or who gives greater promise of usefulness as a Senator, than Mr. lilmunds. The State will honor it-elf, as well as honor a worthy pnbli. servant, in giving him a hearty re-chrtion. Cov. Wnnnoth Veto Mcage. The following is the veto message of Governor Wannotli, of the bill which waa recently p- d by both branches of the Louisiana legislature, prohibiting discrimination in hoteb, railroad cars, steamboats, etc, on account of color: To the honorable speaker and mt tutors of th" House of Iteitresentatives : I return t.. rlw FIoi- of UepresenUtives an act to protct all jter n in their public and civil right, with, ut my -ig-nature, for the following reason to wtt Tbe rights and privileire! euunieniMl ia rh first section of this bill, and -oucht to Mtih. lisheil thereby, are fully and explicitly recog nize 1 and established in the constitution of the State.

The mean-', however, piopo-cd in tl. fourth section of the bill, for enfort ing these rights, are, ia my judg j ment, not mtrely novel and onpracedenteW. ) 1 impractieat'le and pernicious. It eeks to m.ike that a crime which has arver, to my koowled.e, ! been st consident 1 in those commomties win re the highest regard is had to the personal ruht ( of all men. There always is, and ought t U. i 1 broad line of demarkation axed between a cr.me and toe breach or obligation growing out of civ .1 contracts: and we detuoraliie tbe public e n science and c nfiue its conception of right m-1 wrong when we -eek to obliterate so eviden: a distinction.

A mre unfavorable occasion than prr-M for such legislation eoukl hardly tw imin- i In the midst of a most exciting political citn paign, at a tune when the paesions, aninw--.tn-nnd resentments comwiuent npon a great a ir and attendant upon great and sudden ch no -in aflairv are roused to the highest pitch i in tensity, and when the prejudice regarding il it race is inflame tc the utmost, it is here pn; t 1 to enforce by penal reined ie what b practk i1 elasw legislation and to maintain and defrwl 1 1 distinction. The effect, in my judgment, of such an act would be to defeat, rather to promote the end apparently hidden from view by the auth i ' the bilk 'The barriers of race, instead of U tt thereby removed, would be increased in heht and breadth, in firmness and strength. So ! as these barriers are maintained, mi long wil1 ) deferred the era of peace, order aad prospei rv in the State, to whieh mutual harmony nnd goodwiH are essential, and so long will the rights of tlie Utely enfranchised linger ia the condition of doubt and insecurity. The preju dices upon which these barriers are founded have no foundation in reason er nature, and wilt surely give way to tbe softening infiuence oi time, unless they are constantly fretted into activity.

Watkins, a graduate cf a New Engktnd c lege, ami hU daughter, who were disco veriti living in a filthy manner at Turners Jam to 1 . Illinois. An acquaintance of Mr. Watkins wntu to the Rutland Herald correcting the statement as follows : I saw in the ChL-ago depot Mr George At chison, who was direct from the residence cj Watkins, and was one of the first who called cn the old man at his home. He did not survive, but was not covered with sores as stated. In stead of seventy cats thera were only two or three, and that im relation to the fowls wa all fabricated. Ho took a tri-weekly paper and came to town often j but was low spirited and broken down. He willed all his land, worth S 1,000, to his daughter Libbie, who seems to progress finely, and has token up again her mu sical studies. There was nothing improper in their manner of living together, and while he admitted the inconsistency of his coarse, he was anxious to redeem his good name as a minister. Nothing shows Mm to have been insane.
