We, as a farming community, have relied
too much on the exuberant fertility of our
toil, without tiding it in a suitable man-

have arisen to wealth and renown, by
improving and extending their agricultu-
ral resources, why shall not the young
but growing State of Texas profit by their
example? We hope that our intelligent
and energetic agriculturists of the South,
apd especially those of Texas, will favor
us with frequent Essays on the subject of
experimental and practical farming; as
our object is to devote a portion of our
paper to tbe important and highly inter-

As the President never answers com-

through the appropriate departments, the
letter was referred to Mr. Webster, and
the question now is, whether the Cheva-
lier’s disregard of propriety in regard to
the Secretary of State shall be met by
tendering him his passports, or by taking
no notice of his letter, or by making a
reply to it.
Up to this time Mr. Webster, yielding

between Great Britain and the United
States, growing
milted by the British man-of-
press, upon the American steamer Pro-
metheus, is in a fair way of honorable and
complete adjustment. Reliable Intelli-
gence has been received here from Lon-
don to the 2d inst., representing that the
communication which Mr. Lawrence had
addressed to the Secretary of Foreign
Affairs, on the 19th ult., covering a copy
of Mr. Webster’s despatch on the subject
referred to, had been answered by Lord
Granville in a polite note, disapproving
the act under tbe circumstances stated by
Mr. Lawrence, but reserving a more au-
thoritative disavowal until all the testimo-
ny in the case could be procured. Mr.
Lawrence replied, and urged the neces-
sity of immediate and full reparation, to
which he received a rejoinder from Lord
Granville, giving distinct assurance, if the
facts, as communicated by the American
Minister, were sustained by the report of
the British officers—for it must be re-
membered the Captain of the Express
was at once ordered by Admiral Sey+
mour, commanding the squadron, to an-
swer a formal inquiry into his conduct—
