The Rural New-Yorker in Other States. 
Once More, Kind Friends! 
Thu present number closes the first volume of 
the Rural New-Yorkkr, and our contracts with 
most of its subscribers. According to published 
terms, our subscription will be commenced anew 
on the beginning of the second volume. Tho.se 
who wish to continue tlie paper—(and we hope 
each subscriber has already decided that question 
affirmatively, or his wife, son or daughter for him) 
—can do so by renewing with the nearest agent, 
forming or joining a club, or remitting his sub¬ 
scription separately. 
Subscribers and others (not excepting borrow¬ 
ers,) are reminded that the present is jwst the time 
to aid the Rur.al, by subscribing for the next vol¬ 
ume,.and obtaining and forwarding Uie subscrip- 
tion§ of their friends and neighbors. We hope 
every one who can consistently will lend a little as¬ 
sistance to enlarge our circle of friend.s, and tlius 
augment the usefulness of the paper. We espe¬ 
cially solicit those heads of families who like the 
paper, to give their acquaintances verbal testimony 
of the fact, and show them a number now and 
again. We also ask the aid of Young Men—^par¬ 
ticularly those of Western and Central New-York, 
who, in the not distant future, are to make the 
laws and transact the business of this great Com¬ 
monwealth. They can do much to promote the 
interests of themselves and community, by peru¬ 
sing and introducing to oitiers me Njcw-TonarcK 
and similar useful periodicals. Many of our young 
friends have already done nobly—and we invite 
others to imitate their example. 
Post-Masters and Agents—to whom we already 
bend under a weight of obligations, in the shape 
of favors received—will oblige us by continuing 
their kind offices in behalf of the Nnw-YoRKJtR. 
They can do much, very much, to enhance the in¬ 
terests of the paper and community—and any and 
every exercise of Uioir influence in this direction 
will elicit the gratitude of an appreciating heart. 
ICr Send Early I To secure the early num¬ 
bers of next volume, orders should be sent in as 
soon as pos,sible. Hundreds who wished the first 
Altho’ the Rural is iilore particularly designed 
for the meridian of Western and Central New 
York, it is appropriate for the whole country, and 
well received in many distant States. During the 
past week we have received orders for single and 
club subscribers from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michi¬ 
gan, Indiana, Wisconsin, and the New-England 
States. We are receiving very encouraging letters 
from abroad, as well as our own section—extracts 
from two or three of which we append: 
A subscriber and correspondent (T. E. W.) re¬ 
siding in Kent county, Mich., sends us a list of 
twenty subscribers, and thus writes under date of 
Dec. 16:—“ I have obtained the following sub¬ 
scribers, whose names I forward herewith. I do 
not let the paper go for less than the club price of 
^1,50. Was money as plenty here as in your 
State, I should have probably sent you before this 
a hundred cash Bubscribers. Every one who sees 
tlie Rural is pleased with it—and I find no diffi¬ 
culty in getting subscribers by taking produce or 
work. Quite two-thirds of these subscribers now 
take no papers, so I must congratulate you that the 
good influences of the Rural will fall on ground 
ready for the seed. I shall probably send you 
anotlier list in a few days. 
“ I do feel a warm interest in the wide circula¬ 
tion of the Rural. The purity of its influence, 
and the high moral tone of its mattter is such that 
it cannot but help to exert a power wherever it 
may come, that shall tell for good not only in the 
present, but far along the future. All such papers 
should be fostered by the good, and their circula¬ 
tion extended to the uttermost limit, so that better 
tastes may grow and increase, until those pernicious 
publications which vitiate the mind and corrupt the 
morals, shall die for want of support.” 
Another subscriber sends us a club from Lorain 
county, Ohio, and says:—“ I write to you with j 
pleasure to inform you that your paper answers me 
well—likewise many of my neighbors who have 
read it, and some have allowed the children to use 
them to my sorrow. [Let us know which arc the 
“ used up ” numbers and perhaps we can replace 
them.—E d.] Please send seven copies as below 
named. There are other persons will take the pa¬ 
per at $1,50, but I want to see the money before I 
send their names. I think I shall have more 
names, and a larger list, soon.” 
Such is the tenor of many letters we are daily 
receiving—from places like the two above, where 
only one copy of the Rural has been taken during 
the year. We trust all our subscribers who can 
conveniently do so—and especially those residing 
in towns where but one or two copies are taken— 
will in like manner lend their kind offices to ex 
tend the circulation of this journal. 
XXXIst Congress. — L. cond Session. 
Synopsis of PrcA-eedings. 
Cheap Postage, 
The House of Representatives, during the last 
week, evinced some signs of an earnest disposi¬ 
tion to get at the important business of the ses- 
Hilt was (.aKv>^ up, &Ud W6 
are gratified to see that many members represent¬ 
ing “rural districts,” advocate the free circulation 
of newspapers within the counties where they are 
published, or for a distance of thirty miles.— 
Among those who spoke in favor of this proposi¬ 
tion, were Messrs. Sackf.tt and Conger, of this 
State, Thompson and Casey, of Peunsylvauia, 
and TATL 0 R,x)f Ohio. The Southern members 
generally oppose this as well as other propositions 
for any considerable reduction in the rates of Post¬ 
age, under the impression that the revenues will 
be so much dscreased that the Department wil* 
be compelled to curtail the facilities now afforded 
to districts where the receipts are not equal to the 
volume complete, were unable to obtain the early j expenditures. The Franking Privilege, however, 
numbers in consequence of subscribing too late.— j jg the great obstacle in the way of Cheap Post- 
Wg shall add several thousand to oar present edi- j ^ge. This is so convenient to members of Con- 
tion, and supply all we can from lhe|Commence- 
ment of the volume, (unless otherwise directed,) 
—yet the safest way is to get aboard when the first 
bell rings. Therefore, we repeat, send early. 
Ac Esampie for Borrowers, 
We Lave occasionally given new'spaper borrow¬ 
ers a gentle rub, but we find that some of them are 
of the right metal, after all. Of late we have re¬ 
ceived quite a number of substantial tokens from 
persons who hitherto have been readers only, in¬ 
stead of joint supporters, of the Rural. The fol¬ 
lowing extract is Irom one of this numerous class of 
our weekly audience. We give it as an example to 
others “ of the same sort” who may have derived 
benefit from the pages of the New-Y’orker— and 
trust wc shall soon receive evidence that the hint 
is timely and appropriate : 
Mr. Moors ;—I have had the pleasure of read¬ 
ing your valuable paper during the past year, al¬ 
though I am not a subscriber; and I take this oppor¬ 
tunity to express my unfeigned approbation of its 
contents, and the style in which it is printed. It is 
decidedly the best paper for the agricultural popu¬ 
lation which i am acquainted with, and I have no 
doubt that it is destined to become one 6f the best 
supported journals in the Union. 
in view of these facts I have introduced the Ru- 
lul New-Yorker to notice, and have obtained six 
Bubscribers and herewith send $10, which I be¬ 
lieve is according to your club terms. You need 
not be te the trouble of sending a receipt, but please '| 
acknowledge in the Rural. The names of the sub¬ 
scribers and their address are subjoined. I suppose 
that I am entitled to a free copy; I have therefore 
put my name and address at the bottom of the list. 
Yours, n. a. b.

Lectures on the Application of Chemistry and 
Geology to Agriculture. —By James F. W. 
Johnston, M. A., «Slc., &c. —New Edition, with 
an appendix containing suggestions for experi¬ 
ments in Practical Agriculture.—C. M. .Saxton, 
New York : I860. 
This is a very complete and truly valuable work 
upon the important subject of Agricultural Chem¬ 
istry. The reputation of its author among our 
readers renders commendation unnecessary. The 
publisher has laid»it before us in a good and cheap 
style, both of binding and typography. 
gress and their friends, that all amendments are 
looked at with an eye to the necessity their adop¬ 
tion may create for lopping off the abuse, rather 
than with reference to the merits of the amend¬ 
ments themselves. Many are too “conservative” 
in their notions to think of reforming ild abuses, 
and especially one which they have a direct in¬ 
terest in retaining. 
There is evidently much division as to the ex¬ 
tent of the reduction deemed prudent and advis¬ 
able in regard to letter postage. One party are 
opposed to any charge; another favors a three 
cent charge upon pre-paid, and five cents upon 
unpaid letters; and still another advocates a uni¬ 
form rate of two cents upon ail letters for all dis¬ 
tances. But there is a majority in favor of some 
reduction, and it is presumed that the three and 
five cent rate will finally prevail. If with this 
we get the amendment asked for by the country 
press, the bill will give very general satisfaction. 
If in this shape the Department fails to get rev¬ 
enue enough to support itself, let the people make 
a genera! demonstration against the franking 
privilege. When that tax upon the people is 
thrown npon those who ought to bear it, all the 
obstacles in the way of the lowest rates of post¬ 
age will vanish. If eight dollars per day is not 
a full equivalent for the services of members, the 
balance ought to be made up in some other way 
then by a tax upon those who take newspapers 
and send and receive letters through the post- 
office.— Dem. 
Title Page and Index. —Wo give in this num¬ 
ber a title page, and a very complete Index to the 
contents of the main departments of the volume. 
They are so arranged as to bo easily detached for 
binding ; and we are quite sure that all who have 
preserved their papers will find the volume conve¬ 
nient and valuable for future reference. The 
amount and variety of practical, useful matter, is, 
wo believe, much greater than was ever before 
given in a .single volume of any similar periodical 
published in ihis countiy. 
Monday, Dec. 16.—Both Houses looked a little 
more like doing something. In the Senate Mr, 
Cass got through a re.solution calling for the cor¬ 
respondence between the Government and the 
Austrian Minister, relative to the diplomatic agent 
8e*t by the United States to Hungary during the 
revolutionarj' straggle in that countiy. Mr. Sen- 
ton introduced his Pacific Railroad Bill and made 
a speech in explanation of its provisions. Accord¬ 
ing to it a Railroad, plank road and common road 
for wagons and horses, with a foot path for pedes¬ 
trians, are to be builit from St. Louis to San Fran¬ 
cisco by the Federal Government. Branch roads 
are to connect with Santa Fe and Oregon. A tract 
of ono hundred miles wide, containing some hun¬ 
dred and fifty million acres is set aside for the pur¬ 
pose. To this the Indian title is to be extinguished; 
military posts are to be established along tne line ; 
and lands granted to actual settlers, though on what 
terms our despatch does not state. The Senate 
then pa.ssed the bill extending the Charter of the 
Potomac Insurance Co., with a clause making 
stockholders individually liable. YVhile this was 
under consideration Jenny Lind came into the gal 
lery and caused a commotion in that important 
branch of the Senate, though it does not seem that 
the proceedings on the floor were seriously inter¬ 
rupted. 
In the House, the New York Branch Mint bill 
was made the order of the day for the second Tues¬ 
day of January. A Message was received from 
the President announcing the official acceptance 
by Texas of the Ten Million indemnity, and con 
gratulating Congress on tho success of that great 
Peace Measure. A resolution was adopted inquir¬ 
ing into the propriety of withdrawing our squadron 
from the Coast of Africa. 
Tuesday, Dec. 17.—In the Senate, Gen. Fpote 
presented tho resolutions of the Legislature of Mis¬ 
sissippi condemning his course on the “Peace 
Measures.” The death of Mr. Ilarmonson of La. 
was announced, eulogies delivered, resolutions 
adopted and the Senate adjourned. 
In the House, tho decea.so of the same gentle¬ 
man was announced at the opening of the session, 
and of course no business was transacted. 
Wednesday, Dec. 18.—In the Senate, Gen. 
Cass re-cal!ed his resolutions stopping diplomatic 
intercourse with Austria. The rest of tho day was 
spent in talk about Gen. Lane and Col. Weller. 
In the House, Cheap Po.stage was discussed, but 
no action taken. 
Thursday, Dec. 10.—In the Senate, an amend¬ 
ment to the Act to Promote the Useful Arts, was 
discussed and adopted, providing that every person 
sued for violating a Patent may by legal process 
compel tho patentee to prove the validity of his 
patent. 
In tho House, Cheap Postage was discussed hut 
no vote taken. 
F riday, Dec. 20.—The Senate was not in ses¬ 
sion. 
The House refused to consider Cheap Postage 
and spent the day on Private Bills.

almost the exclusive topic of conversation. 
The bill granting a credit of S.lfih.OOO francs, 
for calling out 40.000 men, necessitated by the 
state of affairs in Germany, was passed, after an 
important discussion, by 272 majority. 
A visit of M. Guizot to the Elysee has given

West. 
-The Rochester Daily Herald is the name 
of a new independent paper just started in this 
city, edited by Dr. L. K. Faulknf.r, and published 
by C. H. McDonald. It is the season for oxperi 
ments of the kind, and we hope this one may 
have all deserved success. 
WHAT “THEY” SAY OF THE RURAL. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. —M’e are in the 
regular receipt of this valuable Agricultural News¬ 
paper, and consider it by far the best work of tlie 
kind with which we have any acquaintance. The 
indefatigable proprietor has taken just the right 
course to make it exceedingly useftri, and also ren¬ 
der it very popular, as he has called to his aid in the 
Editorial Department several gentlemen of the first 
order of talent. Tho paper, though apparently 
dear, is nevertheless, cheaper than any otlier Ag¬ 
ricultural Journal published in the country.— Her¬ 
ald, Greencastle, Pa. 
This work also combines in one, a number of fea¬ 
tures hitherto kept distinct dr partially so, in the 
publications of the day, and thus brings before its 
readers a mas.s of varied information relative to the 
culture of the earth and t;he comfort and improve¬ 
ment of its inhabitants, which could not otherwise 
be obtained exccjit by the purchase and study of a 
number of books. This feature is a mo.st valuable 
one and should secure to the work a general and a 
generous support.— Oneida Herald. 
* * It is a journal of which Western New 
York may well he proud, for no State can boast of a 
superior one. Such a weekly family visitor cannot 
fail to prove beneficial to the members of families 
that receive it. Its literary department is conduct¬ 
ed with the ability and care, that .make it interest¬ 
ing to those wdio may not care so much about tho 
information it contains on other subjects. We com¬ 
mend it to the cheerful support of all who want a 
good weekly paper.— Aiag. Democrat.

brewing establishments in that city, is variously estimat¬ 
ed at from 300,000 to 360,000 bu—Itis impossible to get at 
theexact amount. It is understood by the trade that 
some of the brewers have not now on hand a sufficient 
amount to carry them througg the brewing season, but 
expect street sales to satisfy their wants. This is doubt¬ 
ed by those who have Uaversed the region pretty tho¬ 
roughly. 
The high prices obtnined for Barley .and the comparl- 
llvelow rates at which Rye was sold induced -maltsters to 
gather up a stock of the latter for malting, but to what 
amount we have been unable to learn.

T he Subscriber will sell from his valuable flock of fine 
wooled Sheep about 70 Breeding Ewes. To Uiose un¬ 
acquainted with his flock, he woultf say, that his wool in¬ 
variably commands the highest price paid in the County, 
and when a competitor at tlie County Fairs, he always re¬ 
ceives the highest premium for fine wooled Ewes, reference 
being had to tlie body of the animal as v/cll as to the qual- 
tity and fineness of the fleece. He has also for sale 3 valu¬ 
able horses for road or farm. WM. R. SCHUYLER.
