editor's TABLE.-REVIEW OF THE MARKET. 
Prairie Farmer. —Published and edited by Messrs. 
Wright & Wight, Chicago, at $1 a year. This is one 
of the very best Agricultural Journals for the West 
that we know. It is edited with spirit and ability, and 
its typographical appearance would be creditable to 
any one of our eastern periodicals. We will gladly 
take subscriptions for it at this office, and guarantee 
its being promptly sent -when ordered. 
Republications of the Epinburgh, London, 
Westminster, and Foreign Quarterly Reviews, 
and Blackwood’s Magazine, by Leonard Scott & 
Co., 112 Fulton street, N. Y. Price for any one Re¬ 
view, $3; any two, $5; any three, $8 5 Blackwood, 
monthly, $3; for the five works, $ 10 . The established 
character of these able periodicals, renders it unneces¬ 
sary for us to say a single word in their favor, other 
than that they abound more with articles on Agricul¬ 
ture and the Domestic Animals, than formerly. “ Pro¬ 
gress of Scientific Agriculture,” in the Edinburgh 
Review for January, is an admirable article ; and one of 
the most pleasing and instructive essays we ever read 
on the Bee, recently appeared in the London Quarter¬ 
ly. For further particulars regarding these periodicals, 
see advertisement. 
Report to the Navy Department of the 
United States on American Coals, applicable to 
Steam Navigation and to other purposes. By Walter 
R. Johnson. This is a most valuable public docu¬ 
ment, sent us by the Hon. J. S. Skinner, of the Post 
Office Department, at Washington. 
Prince’s Descriptive Catalogue of Fruits and 
Ornamental Trees, Shrubbery, Vines, and Plants, cul¬ 
tivated and for sale at the Linnaean Botanic Garden 
and Nurseries, at Flushing, Long Island, near New 
York. This is a very complete Catalogue of 110 
pages, containing nearly everything in its line that one 
could desire to cultivate. 
Seeds for Distribution. —The Hon. H. L. Ells¬ 
worth, Commissioner of the Patent Office at Washing¬ 
ton, has sent us about thirty different kinds of seeds of 
superior vegetables, grains, &c., which our friends can 
nave by calling at our office, and selecting such as they 
are desirous of experimenting with. Mr. Ellsworth 
annually makes the most praiseworthy efforts this way 
in behalf of agriculture. 
We Want to Purchase — Jerusalem Artichokes (he- 
lianthus tubevosus), enough of these to plant half an 
acre.— A Canadian Stallion , of handsome form, sound 
and young. A pacer would be preferred to a trotter. 
The price must be moderate.— Jersey Sweet Corn. — 
Three or four barrels in the ear, of the best kind, for 
soiling.— A Young Jlorse , easy under the saddle, and 
broke to harness. One not over 6 years old, about 15 
•hands high, switch tail, and of a bright bay or some 
dark color. His price must not be over $lfi 0 , and it is 
useless calling our attention to an animal that is not 
perfectly sound and of good action, figure and sub¬ 
stance, for the money.

Survey of South Carolina, which we noticed at length
