' For the Norwalk Gazette.
To Agrrculturists.
I G-nnrnnnntsl I-—-Permit me through the
columns of your own paper to make a
few inquiries and suggestions. As a
practical farmer, I am deeply interested
ihenhancing the quantity of produce,
and improving its quality, so powerful
,_._were my convictions that this could be
done for more cheaply and rapidly than
farmers generally are able to do it, that
I have devoted considerable time to the
observation of different processes adop-
ted by various persons in localities wide-
ly, distant, and also in rendering myself
' -fa‘milinr_with the laws of vegetable de-
velopment-—Laws which have been
demonstrated but recently, by the most
3 "able philosophers of the present time.--—-
Coinparatively a few years since, iioth-
ing was known of Vegetable growth-
ail the transformations which seemed to
take place, by which plants were able to
make their structure out of the inani-
“piste particles of soil, were explained
_by,snpposing‘they were done by the vi-
tality of the plant. This was all very
true, but what the materials were out of
, which the beautiful and useful plant was
formed, or how it was taken up, or how
pair was supplied to the soil. when once
-exhausted, how to determine what can-
sad the fiexhaustion of the soil, and a
thousand other points of equal impor-
tance, were left unanswered, and the
» farmer stumbled on inthe dark as be-
':"',h_|'_O, merely knowing that when he
A ._plowedthe soil the crops were better
H than before such preparation, that ma-
-nures added to the soil, somehow produ-
ced an -increased growth. When no ac-
‘ ‘curate information existed on these sub-
, jects, there was some excuse for remain-
..ing ignorant, but at the present day
‘there are certain things known, fixed,
which every farmer should understand.
Plants of a great variety of kinds have
been analyzed, or taken apart, their pe-
culiar characteristics determined, their
mode of growth watched and recorded,
the 'efi'ect of fertilizers on them has
been determined, and a hundred things
‘of equal importance which should be
known by every tiller of the soil. What
isthe object you have in view in tilling
the soil '!
Why do you toil day after day in the
fields to get a scanty return of crop ?
If your object he to gather the means
of subsistence for yourselves and fami-
lies, you should certainly seek to pursue
"the most economical method if you de-
sire to enjoy your existence, and do not
desire to shorten it by toil too severe to
‘bear upfor many years in succession.—-
By economical methods in farming, I
mean the use of all that can be em-
ployed to the best advantage, and do not
mean the employing of the smallest
quantity of labor and manures, which
will enable you to reapa crap from a
given space of land. If you can now
reap a profit of $25 from the use of $100
_worth of ordinary manures applied in
the usual manner, you can get double
and sometimes quadruple that amount
by using the manures and methods poin-
’_ ted out by a knowledge of the laws of
vegetable development. Will you then
«continue to waste your energies for a
small remuneration, while your wiser
neighbor avails himself of all the aids he
can, to swell the amount of his produce
and his consequent income "
It is too late in the day for any intel-
fxligent man to remain ignorant of the
' irutlis of Agriculture, as already devel-
'’ oped by the observation of farmers and
the labors of scientific men.
It is time that the science of Agricul-
ture became one of the branches neces-
sary to be taught in public schools, so
that all the younger portion of the com-
‘rmtnity may be made familiar with its
lfundarnental' principles. Are you not
willing to aid tde cause, and promote the
welfare of the community ?
Another method of promulgating
_ these truths, is that of lecturing, and you
will perceive that in another portion of
— this paper, I have proposed to adopt this
-course the coming Winter. The present
is the time for determining what course
you will pursue, I stand ready to assist
_ you to the extent of my abilities,
Respectfully yours,
HENRY C. VAIL.
One Week Later From Europe.
Arrival of the Pacific.
The United States mail steamship
Pacific arrived in New York early on
Wednesday morning. bringing one
week's later intelligence from Europe.
TH E WAR.
Dispatches from Gen. Simpson from
the seat of war had been received by
the Government of England, describing
theassauit and capture of the Malakoff,
He says : “At 12 o’clock on the morn-
ing of the 8th of September, the French
columns under Gens. Bosquet, McMa-
iron, and De La Motterouge entered and
carried the Malakofi‘ with the most im-
petuous valor.
«. The British column stormed tiie Re-
don, but after a bloody combat could not
hold it. A second assault could not be
organized, until the following morning,
when the Redan was found to be evac-
noted.
The loss of life has been fearful, par-
ticularly amongst officers.”
_ Gen. Pclissier’s dispatches had not ar-
rived.
The retreat of the Russians to Pere-
kop was contradicted. It was expected
they would be unable to lioid the north
of Sebastopol for want of provisions.
Nothing decisive was known in re-
gard to the next move of the Allies.
Four thousand cannon, fifty thousand
balls, and immense stores of gunpowder
were taken possession of by the Allies
at Sebastopol.
. The Czar Alexander, in an address to
the-army, says: “I rely confidently up-
on your courage to repel all future at-
racks," and in a letter to the King of
Prussia states he will accept no condi-
tions of peace derogatory to Russia.
The Czar. in company with the three
Grand Dukes, has signified his intention
of proceeding to the Crimea.
The Turks still hold Kars, having re-
pulsed the Russians on the 7th of Au.
' . -gust. with considerable loss, _, the Rue.
sians return to Erzeroum.
No news_ from the Baltic had been
received. The Emperor of Austria had
congratulated Queen Victoria and Louis
Napoleon on victory of the Allies.
There was more talk about Austrian
negotiation. The latest was that Austria
was willing to nndertake the work of
mediation at Vienna, and France at Par-
IS.
_ It was reported that Russia had un-
dertaken the task of mediation between
Denmark and the United States on the
Sound Dues question.
At Paris there was’ considerable ex-
citement in regard to the high price of
bread. The exhibition of the Industry
of All Nations would continue open un-

A New Potato ts coming out.--Prof.
Mapes has received a new California
Potato, brought thence by Mr. C. V.
Mundy. of New Brunswick, weighing
three pounds and seven ounces. Its ap-
pearance gives indication of being a
good keeper and of excellent quality-—-
The eyes protrude like those of the Ber-
muda potato. The gentleman who
brought it from California _ remarked at
the Farmers’ Club, New York, that
these potatoes were grown at the rate of
700 bushels to the acre; also, that . the
Mammoth tuber referred to will be pian-
ted on the farm of Prof. Mapes, who
will report on its merits or demerits, as

Review or the Fair.
We give again the Reports of the various
Committees, so that those who were unable to
procure papers last week can be accommoda-
ted. We-have discovered and corrected sev-
eral errors in the Premium Lists, and there are
several awards to numbers to which we are as
Set unable to find the owner-‘s names.
We now propose to refer in st very brief
manner. to the. many articles contributed to
our exhibition which it was impossible for the
several Coiainittees, in all cases,to aw.“-,1 due
credit. ~ . ‘ .
A gentleman from New Haven remarked to
us, that taken all together, it appeared to him
more like a State Fair than any County Erin‘
bition he had ever before witnessed. If the
last w'eelt’s exposition of the New York State
Socletyis to be the criterion‘, we should object
even to thiscompliment. lfwe except ma-
chinery and sheep", in’ no one particular was
‘our . exhibition’ inferior to the Elmira show,
while in_niost otherfllit wins’ superior. ’
In an exhibition therefore, which refiected
so inuch credit upon the Agricultural and
Mechanical interests of our County, very many
have lost premiums which, judging from the
expositions or past years, they would have
surely taken. But this after.all,’is the grati-
fying resultof. tlieprogrcu our Society was
organized to effect, and all should rejoice in
its coiiipletest triumph. » .
Starting wlthflrass and. Grain‘ seed, we no.
tied I-d¢cldO¢'1a|IIrictity is the-when over
previous years. The same -is trlld of Corn,
while other grain and the grass seed was cer-
tainly not inferior to any previous,yeai"s ex-
hibition. Our attention was particularly at-
tracted by a specimen of white or fiint Corn,
exhibited by Nels on L. Wiilte, of Dsubiiry.
The cars were from sixteen to twenty inches
in length, we should judge, and ' the kernels of
enormous size. We learn_tltat this ‘Corn has
been grown almost‘ into a distinct, species by
several years of careful cultivation on the part
of his venerable father, who by the way, we
notice, was the first President of our Society,
Mr White’s process has been to take the largest
kernels from the largest ears to use for seed:
and in this way he has produced the specimens
- exhibited. Had the Committee been made
aware of these facts, he could scarcely have
escaped with a Diploma.
The display of Vegetables was never before
equalled. This is owing in part, probably, to
it propitious season, as well as to increased at-
tention to the garden. Mr. Faulkner of Siam-
ford, alone, had It finer display than could pos-
sibly have been selected from the entire con-
tributions to the N. Y. State Fair——while
James E. St. John came but slightly behind
him. His table was arranged with consumiste
taste, and evinced unusual‘ labor and skill in
garden cultivation. The_display of Mr. J . M.
Rose and of Mr. Riker,'however_. were to our
-eye superior in quality to any others; they of
themselves would have redeemed‘ our Fair
from any reproach, had no other vegetables
been presented. _ John Taylor, of our village,
had six as fine crookneckcd squashes as we
ever saw, one weighing some 30 pounds.
The display of Fruits was exceedingly fine.
Messrs. Smith, Seymour, Grifi'eth, Mead, Bates,
and Sherwood, seem to have been the princi-
pal competitors. John Smith, Esq., of South
Norwalk, had as. fine a show of grapes as we
have ever seen at any similar exhibition. T.
B. Griffith had some magnificent specimens of
Pears, grown upon dwarf stalks.
The Working Cattle formed the feature of
the Fair, and in this particular we can chal-
lenge the State to beat us. The Society, and
all who visited Norwalk on the occasion, are
ed so arduously in Wilton, New Canaan, and
Norwalk, to bring them out. We have been
told by good judges of Cattle, that the but
pair on the groundbelonged to Win. Meeker
of Westport; the 2d best to George H. Com-
stock, of Wilton; the 8d to Capt. Aaron Olm-
stead of Wilton. We did not observe the ‘for-
mer, but if superior to the ‘latter, we defy the
world to beat it. For symmetry of form and
superiors. They were not large cattle, but
exceedingly fine and beautiful, as indeed were
nearly all on the ground.
we were not doomed to judge on the superior.-
ity of the Cattle. Our neighbor, the Sheriff,
adds his judgement to our own, here, on Capt.
Olmstead’s Steers, and says if a man wants a
more beautiful yoke, he will have‘: to get them
"brought out on canvass. ‘ Mr. Aaron Hoyt of
New Canaan, had a beautiful pair of five years
old; John Hower, a splendid yoke of two
years old Steers, well broke, which attracted
much attention. Adam Seely, of course, had
a couple of yokes of as fine cattle as anybody.
Eseck Kellogg, do.,-but if we undertake to
speak of the best we shall have to go through
the whole string of nearly two hundred yokes.
The number of milch Cows on exhibition
was smell-—but their qualities were in no way3
inferior. Henry 1. Hoyt, Esq., took the first
Premium, as all who had ever seen his noble_
animal knew he would. This cow is one of
those rarities where great size is coupled with
symmetry of form and superior qualities as e
milker. Joliu Austen, F. F. Farwell, George
Low, S. B. Middlebrook. P. Gray. and others»
had cows on the ground hard to beat in all the
qualities which make up it valuable milch ani-
mal. Messrs. Mitchel & Camp had the finest
show of fat Cattle on the ground, and were
awarded the thanks of all who saw them. for,
so beautiful an exhibition. The rules of the
Society prevented their competing for pre-
miums. '
We never saw it finer display of horses,
young and old, {him were exhibited on Thurs-
day. The Committee have expressed the pop-
ular decisions as nearly as could be, on miitched
horses. On roudsters—-it was six and six bc_
tween Mr. Pond’s bay gelding and Henry I_
Hoyt’s bay mare. The former took the first
prize, but it will be hard to convince most
judges of horses that the “ more was not the
better horse.’ ’ Our ideas of a splendid road-
ster would lead us to coinside with the com-
mittee’s decision, although the latter was a
better stepper, and without doubt the best ed-
ucated horse upon the ground. We were
much amused by the excited discussions ‘going
on among the crowd while the two were on
exhibition. Most admirers of that noblest of
all brutes, would not covet a finer animal than
either. ; To us they seemed the very ideal of
the graceful and beautiful. The colts were
unusually fine; Dr. Lynesi had a beantifui
old ; and A. E. Kroger a splendid yearling.
The others the Committee have probably given
about the popular vote, if we except, perhaps,

ground, but the Committee were compelled to

the first premium‘ to a superior ll1Bl'P and an
inferior colt, _ We think this rule should be
reversed, and the cult be the criterion by
which to“ judge. of the qualities oi‘. the.daInc_
Mr. Sandford, however, was awarded especial
premium of three dollars on the colt, which is
tantamount to the first premium. Here, also,
we would make a "suggestion for future action.
Our premiums are not judiciously classified.-
One who has an accidental turnip or common
chicken worth fifty cents, takes as large a pre-
- mium as the exhibitor of a horse, cow or ox
worth three times as many dollars. The man
who raises or procrtres a superior stock animal
should receive a much larger award than he
who finds hii_r_iself.ia possession of some sccl-‘
dental vegetable monstrosity. This modifica-
tion of the premium lists might sadly interfere
with the laudable ambition of some of our pul-
lets, yet the principle is a just one and should
claim the society’s attention. One award of
fifteen or twenty dollars for the best stock on-
imal in each grade, would not be too much.
twenty-five or fifty cents would be a more fit-
ting‘ premium for the thousand minor matters
which usually absorb the society’s funds. It
may be a hard reform to effect, yet it should
be reached. It will ‘be all the easier too, from
the growingdesire apparent among our farm-
ers, to enter the lists as competitors more from
a desire toiniprove stock and advance agricul-
ture, than to pocket preniiunis.

Merritt had a pair of beautiful white turkies
and a brood of eighteen small ones, which at.

fowls justly bore off the first prize. Dr; Lynes
exhibited a pair of imported English Gaines,
which were noble birds, and worth all the pure
Asiatic blood in the country, and we hope to
see thbir superiority better understood and ap-
preciated by the public. ~
But really the most beautiful and valuable
trio on exhibition seem to have escaped the at-
tention of the committee, owing no doubt. to
their unfavorable position. We refer to a trio‘
of Sumatra Pheasant Games, entered by Dr.
Olmstead, and of Dr. Bennett’: importation.
Dr. Olmstead’s fowls were purchased by An-
drewselleck of the importer for 825, which
price they have readily commanded.
They are good layers, are hardy, and above
all, possess that indomitable courage which
makes them the best fowis for rearing their
young known to poultry men, for woe to the
unlucky pig puppy, rat, cat, hawk, mink, or
weasel, that niolests their brood. We dislike
their appellation of game fowis, but in reality
the virtues of those generally so denominated,
are not yet understood by our farmers.
Their bodies are small, but compact and
muscular, and the game egg is not only of
richer quality, but of heavier weight than any
species of domestic fowl with which we are
acquainted. ’ I
In facthey are grace and beauty personified,
-—their plumage of the richest tints, of purple,‘
black, and bottle green, is almost bedazziing.

We were one among the 59,000 persons who
went to Elmira to be disappointed. Of course
such an exhibition cannot be said to have been
a failure, as no Agriciiltural Fair. however
meagre its Exhibition, can be, yet we have no
doubt more than half who visited Elmira re-
turned disappointed. The show of Fruits was
not equal to last year, -although the season
has been vastly more favorable for it. The
show of garden vegetables was certainly very
smail,_and in the miiin, only of ordinary qual‘
ity. There were but a few superior horses,
and most of those had exhibited all their good
qualities at Former Fairs. There was no
Potiitry worthy of notice. The nest cattle
were few in number, although in few very su-
perior specimens of Alderney and Short Horns.

Young America is at church occa-
sionally, and tainted with the world as
;he may be, there is a spot in his heart
which the solemn siippiication and the
hymn of praise cannot fail to touch.-
-It is that spot, which that prayer learn-
ed at his mother's knee in childhood left
tender and beautified for his whole after
_iife. His soul yearns to go up in praise
to heaven, in the sweet praise of some
.i,e.uti{ul hymn. sung to some grand old
-fashioned tune of "yore, by ‘ the. great
;'voice of the whole congregatiou,b_ut the
rapid, meaningless, trifiing "snrls” that
‘rises thin and meagre from the hired
quartette in the choir. chills his spirit,
of foreign Operas are not fit offerings of
praise to the majesty of Heaven. Such
we heard ‘last Sunday in Grace Church.
Can we not bring from the country into
thecity choirs, some echo, at least, of
those dear old Singing Schools of our
boyhood 9 such grand, and solemn, and
reverential harmonies, as a parting soul
‘would choose to bbar it up to heaven.-
Such as we can imagine King David
from yflitery and harp, rolled round the
sublime psalms of old. Such as "with
trumpets aisoand shawnis," rose in one
grand united chorus from the mighty
congregation of Israel, up to the Lord
of Hosts. Up the lofty dome of the
new Trinity Chapel, you can hear each
Sabbath, ascending from the whole as-
sembly, borne up on high by the great
organ, such nob.e anthems as the ever
living Old Hundred, and it is only on
such reverential wings of sound that
man's devotion can truly rise and whis-
per to his satisfied spirit "all that is
within me praise His Holy name!" ‘
There is a great future in our land for
music. But it must not be a mere re-
production of that depraved taste and
false cultivation of foreign lands, but as
fresh and original as our hernldclrs, and
as lofty and solid as our mountains.-—
‘Thus only can it strike the great heart
of the world.
We are to have a grand Central Park
at last, commencing at 59th street and
extending to 106th, andfrom 3d to 8th
avenue, two and one-third miles long,
and to contain 776 acres bf land. It
will be one of tire lurgest—if not the
lar'gest—Parlr in anv city of the World,
and will be a Park worthy of the name.
It will cost over five millions of dollars.
Tiie estimates and assessments are all
made, and when the report of the Com-
missioners is confirmed by the Supreme
Court, the act passed by the Legislature
in April, 1854, will affect, and we shall
have a Park such as will do honor to the
Metropolitan city.
Every one has heard of the visit of
one iimmgnd Massachusetts Sabbath
School Teachers to this city last week,
but only a few have heard how it came
to happen. At a union meeting of the
teachers of New York and Brooklyn, a
gentleman from Boston said he would
contract to bring on one thousand teach-
ers if New York and Brooklyn would
provide for and entertain them while
here. The gt.-utlenian who made lhe
