Arrival of the Baltic. 
Thu Baltic arrived at New York Sept. 19th, 
with Liverpool dates to the 8th. Among the 
passengers are Senor De Escalante, the new 
Spanish Minister to the U. S., and Gen. Ura- 
ga, Mexican Minister to Prussia. 
The week which this arrival comes is more 
barren of news than any similar period since 
the commencement of the war, with the ex¬ 
ception of the announcement that the Rus¬ 
sians on the Tchernaya are again menacing 
the allied line, and the surmises that England 
instigated by France is about to pick a quarrel 
with Naples. 
The following is the latest official despatch 
from Gen. Simpson “ Before Sebastopol, 
Aug. 25.—The enemy are concentrating troops 
at the McKensie Tasoua and Karales, their 
left extending as far as the village Makoul, 
and are supposed to have received considera¬ 
ble reinforcements, which probably consist of 
ten divisions of grenadiers. The bridge across 
the great harbor is nearly completed, and 
large bodies of men are employed in erecting 
the earth works on the north side. Entrench¬ 
ments have been thrown up on the Tchernaya, 
extending from the sea coast to the site of 
the first light house facing the north. From 
various sources we learn that the Russians on 
the right bank of the Tchernaya are held in 
perfect readiness for an offensive movement. 
Our seige operators progress steadily north, I 
regret to say, bearing casualties on our side. 
(Signed) Simpson. 
Sept. 1st.—Prince Gortschakoff briefly says 
that the fire of the enemy continues as before. 
There is nothing new. Under the same date 
Gen. Pelissier telegraphs all was well, and ev¬ 
erything advances. 
The French Minister of War received a dis¬ 
patch from Gen. Pelissier, dated at the Cri¬ 
mea, 6th inst., at 8 o’clock A. M , which con¬ 
tains the following intelligence:—“On the 
night of the 5th inst. a great tire took place. 
It was caused by the burning of the Russian 
two decker Mersairs, which was anchored in 
the Bay of Sebastopol. The fire originated 
from the bursting of a shell discharged from 
the right attack. The brilliancy of the con¬ 
flagration illuminated the whole of the allied 
camp.” 
Gen. Sir George Brown has retired from the 
army. Gortschakoff has sent Gen. Todledea 
to Simpherol to recover his strength. Todle- 
den’s latest creation, called the Fort of the 
Holy Cross, is armed with guns of the heaviest 
calibre, and completely commands the Mala- 
koff. 
Intelligence from Asia Minor is reported to 
be more favorable to the Turks. According 
to a Turkish bulletin the Russians advanced 
on the 4th of August against the entrench¬ 
ments at Kars, and attacked the battery. Arr 
artillery fight ensued, which lasted two hours, 
and the Russians retired, leaving 100 dead. 
Ezsroum is said to be completely relieved. At 
Kerpikeni, a village on the road to Kara, a 
skirmish of cavalry took place, afterwards the 
Russians broke up from before Ezeroum, and 
retired on Kars. 
Letters say that Omer Pasha will not go to 
Kars, but will move on to Teples with the 
two-fold object of menacing the connection of 
the Russians with Georgia, and also of pre¬ 
senting an opportunity to the Circassians and 
other mountain tribes to join him. 
Rumors of negotiations are as rife as ever, 
but nothing definite. From the Baltic there 
is no news of importance. The weather was 
very bad. 
Markets— Splendid harvest weather pre¬ 
vailed throughout the week, and the British 
corn crops were likely to be housed in excel¬ 
lent condition. Wheat is thought to be rath¬ 
er a light yield, but spring corn and roots, 
including potatoes, are abundant, yet the pri¬ 
ces of breadstuff's are maintained, Hnder the 
impression that to little or any extent large 
imports of breadstuff's will take place.

will soon he acquired by ama¬

of the vine, and very large size 
of fruit, together with the unri¬ 
valled early period of ripening, 
has rendered this variety superi¬ 
or to all other hardy kinds for our 
northern climate. Although this season is nearly two 
weeks later than u-u .l, the “ Concord” was fully ripe 
Sept. 10th. Vine i3 hardy and a strong grower.’ Ths

L. HINSDALE SHERWOOD, A. M., Principal. 
This Institution afl’ords to those desirous of becoming 
teachers, and others, advantages which cannot be else¬ 
where enjoyed in America. 
The Course is very comprehensive, including a thor¬ 
ough and systematic training in an. thrke of the Princi¬ 
pal Departments of Musical Study, viz: 
L Instrumental Performance (Piano, Organ, Melo- 
deon. Guitar. Violin or Violincello.) 
It. Vocal Music. 
Hi Harmony and Composition. 
The methods employed have elicited the admiration 
of Musicians, Educationists and Members of tho learned 
professions universally, who have been induced to ex¬ 
amine its claims. The venerable Lowell Mason, Doctor 
of Music, and probably the best Educational, no less 
than Musical authority in America, passed several days 
with the Principal, examining his system, and assisting 
him to improve it. Dr. Mason’s written opinion and 
cemmendat;on forms part of the circular of the Academy. 
Dr. Ma-mn has also author’zed the use of his name in the 
subscriber’s adverti-emeutr. &c., as “ having examined 
and approved of his method.” 
This Institution had its origin in a real want, exten¬ 
sively felt and acknowledged by the Musical public, of a 
system of instruction which should place Music upon 
the same footing as the other branches of scientific ed- 
ucation. Here, by means of superior mothods, suitable 
apparatus, wall-digested and systematic lectures, illus¬ 
trations and drills, it is claimed that at least four times 
greater improvenu nt can be made in a given time, than 
under the prevailing methods. Each Pupil passes from 
twelve to twenty hours per week at the Academy in Musical 
rocitatlous, &c. over ami above his (or her) required pri¬ 
vate practice of time hours per diem. Ample scope is 
thus afforded for occupying the Pupils whole time ami en¬ 
ergies in Musical Study. A moments reflection will show 
the economy no less than other important advantages re¬ 
sulting from such a provision. 
Ful.y warranted by tho patronage and approval al¬ 
ready be: towed, in believing that the Institution needs 
only to become generally known to meet with universal 
approval and confidence, the subscriber respectfully in¬ 
vites the attention of parents and others interested in 
Musical Education to the additional particulars, testi¬ 
monials. &c., contained in his circular. 
For circular address, (with P. O. stamp) L. Hinsdale 
Sherwood, iriucipal and Proprietor, Lyons, N. Y. 
Rates of Tuition, &e., per term of 11 weeks. 
Tuition $15—payable half-quarterly in advance. Tu¬ 
ition, and board in the Principal’s family, including use 
of instrument threo hours each day, washing, fuel and 
lights, $ 60 —payable half quarterly in advance. Such 
pupils as board in the Institution will find commodious 
rooms, attendance in sickness, and tho comforts of a 
home, together with a system of government mild and 
parental, but scrupulously interdicting all frivolous dis¬ 
sipation of time, and all improper conduct and associa¬ 
tions. 
The Principal cannot hold himself responsible for the 
conduct out of school hours, of those who aro not inmates 
of his establishment. 
Board out of tho Institution, in respectable private 
families, ranges from $2,25 to $2 50 per week, washing, 
&c., not included.

“ A word in favor of your trees. I think I never saw 
so fine trees in any nursery, and I have visited a good 
many.” David C. Berry, Esq., Newark, N. J. 
“ No one has given uore perfect satisfaction than you 
did in the bill we made with you.” 
Edward D. Hobbs, Esq., near Louisville, Ky. 
“ The trees I had of you last fall were the first from the 
East that have ever paid any profit, tor the simple reason 
that too much inferior and’ unsalable stock was always 
sent.” M. L. Dunlap, Esq., Leyden, Ill. 
“ I have just been to Mr. 'V-'s. His pears from 
your nursery are the finest I havo seen this dry season'. 
In fact thoy are tine for any season. I was sorry mine 
were from another source.” 
Sam’l Edwards, Esq., La Moilio, Ill. 
“ The 3,000 pear trees received fiotn your nurseries 
last fall give universal satisfaction. Ihey are superior 
to any I have ever seen that were grown at the Roches¬ 
ter nurseries, and the packing could not be excelled.”

they were granted by the Government to encourage 
the builaing of this Railroad, which runs from the ex¬ 
treme north to tire extreme south of the State oi Illinois 
Iia nsses, from end to end, through the richest and most 
fertile Prairies of the State, dotted here and there with 
m-Agnifi ent Oak Groves. The recent oceniDg of nearly 
600 mile:, of this road throws open the lands for cultiva¬ 
tion. they are fcatierea from one to fifteen miles on 
each side of it, through its entire length. 
The soil is a (la< k, rich mould, from one to five feet in 
depth, is gently rolling, and peculiarly fitted for grazing 
caU e ana sheep, and the cultivation of wheat, Indian 
corn Ac 
Tho first crop of Indian corn planted on the newly 
broken prairie, usually pays the cost of plowing and 
sometimes fencing. Wheat ^ own on new turned sod is 
sure to yield very large profits. One man with a plow 
and two yoke of oxen wi I break one and a half to two 
acres per day. Contracts can be made for breaking 
ready for corn or wheat, at $2 to $2,50 per acre. By 
judicious management farms may be broken and fenced 
the first, and uncer a high state of cultivation the sec¬ 
ond year. 
The larger yield on the cheap laDds of Illinois, over 
high-priced lams in the Eastern and Middle States is 
known to be muen more than sufficient to pay the differ¬ 
ence of transportation to the Eastern market. The rapid 
increase and growth of flourishing towns and villages 
alor g the line ol this road afford a growing home de¬ 
mand for farm produce. 
Coal and wood are delivered along the road at differ¬ 
ent points, at from $1,59 to $4 the cord or tun. 
Parties having in view Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska or 
Minnesota for their future homes, should take into con¬ 
sideration that the country west of the Mississippi is 
destitute of railroads ; that the conveniences of trans¬ 
porting grain and produce from farms on the line of the 
Illinois Centra! Railroad direct to the great Eastern mar¬ 
ket, is sufficient of itse f to pay the investment at from 
$10 to $15 per acre higher than in government lands in 
Iowa. In other worus, that it costs so much more to 
get produce from the interior of the country west of the 
M; sissippi to the Eastern market, and the farmer will 
lind it much more profitable to locate on the line of this 
railroad. 
price and terms of payment. 
The price will vary from $5 to $25, according to lo¬ 
cation, quality, &c. Contracts for deeds may be made 
ciur.ng the year 18 5, stipulating the purchase money to 
be paid in five annual instalments—the first to become 
due in two years from oats of contract the others annu¬ 
ally thereafter. The last payment will become due at 
the end of the sixth year from date cf contract. . 
By the 22d section of the Act of the Legislature ap¬ 
proved 10th February, 1851, these lands are free from 
taxation until they are paid for, and a deed of convey¬ 
ance granted to the purchaser. 
IAThRESI WILL Bi CE-ARGBD AT OXLY TWO PER CENT. PER 
ANNUM. 
As a security for the performance of the contract, the 
first two years’ interest must be paid in advance, but it 
must be understood that one-tenth of the land purchased 
shall yearly be brought under cultivation. Longer 
credits at six per cent, per annum may be negotiated 
by specia! application. Twenty per cent, from the cred¬ 
it price will be deducted for cash, in which case the 
Company’s Construction Bonds will be received as cash. 
It is believed that the price, long credit, and low rates 
of interest charged for these lands, will enable a man 
with a few hundred dollars in each, and ordinary indus¬ 
try, to make himself independent before ail the purchase 
money becomes due. In the mean time the rapid set¬ 
tlement cf the country will probably have increased 
their value four or five fold. When required an experi¬ 
enced person will accompany applicants, to give infor- 
mation and aid in selecting lands. 
Large Plats, showing the precise location of the Lands 
throughout the State, may be seen at the office. Small

THE ATTENTION OF FARMERS 
Is requested to a new Fertilizer, prepared from night 
soil collected from the sinks and privies of New York 
City, by the Lodi Manufacturing Co., and manufactured 
without auy adulteration whatever into a powerful ma¬ 
nure something like guano, but less caustic and less ex¬ 
hausting to the soil. It is called 
1* .KA - SPIESTT. 
from the Chinese word signifying prepared night-soil, 
and is the only article of the kind ever manufactured 
in this country. It is warranted to he 95 per cent, pure 
night soil, and from its ease of transportation and ap¬ 
plication and the small quantity required to produce 
the same result as heavier manures, it is the cheapest 
manure ever offered for sale. For grass in the fall- 
winter grain or for garden vegetables it has no equal. 
From 300 to 600 lbs. per acre is all the dressing re¬ 
quired for the poorest soil. A fair trial in competition 
with other manures is respectfully asked. Packed in 
bbls. of 240, or bags of 125 lbs. Price, $35 per ton, or
