Many of our exchange papers speak highly of
a new agricultural paper issued from the press of
Mr. Phoeaaa W. White of Richmond, ins hcaa
tiful style of typography and arraagenaewt,entitled
"Tn FAmu's Raetona,44 and edited by Eo
Ml-ira Remit, Esq. Sot hasiag area the work,
we cannot speak lor ourselves, hut feeling an inte
rest in its auata, we adopt, from the Alexandria
t •acetSe, a notice which wo have su doubt ia a do
aruxl tribute to its merits.
44 Mr. Ruffin baa already distinguished him
self as a practical agriculturist, and tbe an
nounco meat of this work, designed for the
use. of the Virginia Farmers and devoted to
their interests, gave us hopes of its ftiture use
fulness and importance. We ate extremely
pleased with this first number. It eoataina
well written articles on several Agricultural
subjects, as well as other matters which inti
mately roocern the cultivators of the soil;
such as Roads and Canals, Domestic Eoooo
t»iy,fc<*. he. It contains dt pages octavo, and
is to be issued monthy at tivs dollar i per an
num. The typographical execution is ex
tremely neat and creditable to the printer.—
We reroouaend it to our Virginia readers as
likely, if properly encouraged, to be of great
service to the state.44

From tht Aimdrte CmxtUt, June 19.
Tho notion of tbo District Attorney for
tho issuing of an attachment against J. If.
Pleasants,Esq- Editor of the Richmond Whig,
was yesterday argued before the Circuit
Court at great length, by the District Attor
mjt mnd W»"« Jones, Esq.
ou behalf of Mr. PleasanU : Present, Judges
Thruslon and Morsel!. The opinioo of the
Court was given by Judge Thniston, order
ing tho attachment to be issued ; stating at
U»e same time, that it was a subject of much
delicacy and doubt—that he entertained
doubts, but that, being called upon at this
tune to make up an opinion, he bad so de
cided. On motion of Mr. Jooes, it was then
ordered that the attachment be accompanied
with the recital of the grounds on which it
*T*U?d‘ _ attachment is made return
able to the Court the first Monday ui October,

the Court to show cause why we should not
be attached for contempt in disobeying its
summons, drafted by Gen. Jones, and for

, Court before the decision. The Court, If it
did not have its “ doubts” of its rightful power
to attach us, confirmed by that able paper,
would at least have seen, that in the first in
stance, domestic reasons, and no disrespect
for it, prevented our attendance at Alexan

AN INVITATION.
A reeolulioo was adopted in May lest by
the American Sunday School Union, propoe
ing to all the friends of the enterprise,
throughout the United SUtes, to make e grand
and simultaneous movement io behalf of the

cordance with this resolution, tho Sabbath
School attached to the Presbyterian Church
in Charlestown, will celebrate the day with
appropriate exercises—and they hereby ex
tend e cordial invitation to all who are in
terested in the subjeet to unite with them 00
te* occasion. To promote as much ae possi
ble the magnificent design of the Sunday
School Union, it is thought important that the
schools io the neighborhood, (or it least their
officers,) would bo present, to coorert means
of spreading the blessings of the institution
farther and wider, and of extending its rich
fruits to all who are willing to partake ol
them. The school will eoevene at Miss Polk’s
school room, between the hours of | and 2
o’clock, from whence they will retire to the
Church.where they will be met by the clergy
and the congregation. After the exercises,

this commonwealth, but we did not mean to
be governed by them. The argument of Gen.
Jones has convince J us, that it has no shadow
of rightful power ; aud that the issuing of a
summons to compel the attendance of wit
nesses, to testify against no named parties,
where there has been no indictment or infor
mation, but merely upon speculation, that
such witness may be the means of discovering
other witnesses, is a “wide sweeping inquisi
tion,” and “ an abuse of the process of the
Court.” We mean, therefore, to resist by
all the means within our power, and when
we are attached, to apply for a writ of Ha
beas Corpus. W e are advised by distinguish
ed Counsel in this city, as well as by General
Jones, that the case depends upon the same
principle decided by Chief Justice Marshall
and Judge Barbour, in refusing to i»eue a war
rant for the apprehension of Mr. Randolph
Wo shall publish the answer drafted by
General Jones, in a few days.
