The ramie is of the thistle family, is propagated easily by cuttings, requires comparatively little care, is perennial, yields three or four crops a year at the rate of three thousand pounds an acre, and is worth, in the threads are longer and more silky than cotton, and mixed with cotten or woolen, { ee =. cca ACO MOM n cis ihecaics fs ES EA es.

But all the laws will be faithfully executed, whether they meet my ap-— proval or not. I sball on all subjects. havea policy to recommend—none to _enforce against the will of the people. Laws are to govern all alike; those opposed to, as well as those who favor them. I know no method to sucure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. The country having just emerged from a great rebellion, many questions will come before it for settlement in the next four years which preceding administrations never had to deal with. In meeting this, it is desirable that they should be approached calmly, without prejudice, or State or sectional pride, remembering that the greatest good to tee greatest. number is the object te be attained. ; This requires security of person,property, freedom of religious and political opinions in every part of our common country, without regard to locality or prejudice. Laws to secure these will Teceive iy best efforts for their enforcement, a : A great debt has been contracted in mene. ion. The payment of this; principal and intérest, as well as the return to a specie basis, as soon as it can be acif pi Sistine cans dabeiceseiica: rn i tapes _finia Express Company, ported, it is certainly one of the most profitable of materials to cultivate, T'wo crops a year of only two thousand pounds per acre, at six cents per pound, would yield $240 an acre, or more than seven times as much as an acre of wheat. The great want of this State is some product which may be cultivated profitably, besides grain, and in large quantities, The fact that oar wheat lands, in the valleys, are being vapidly * ‘worn out, is demonstrated by the decrease in the yield per acre, and if the present system of farming is carried on for twenty years longer, what were the best farming lands of ten yeurs ago will become as worthless as the wora out fieldsof Virginia, It-is time our agricultural societies were directing attention to this matter, THE inauguration of President Grant was honored in San Francisco by the discharge of rockets, bombs and Chinese crackers in different parts of the city ; flags and streamers were flying from the public and private buildings ; vessels were gaily dressed with flags of all nations, and a salute was fired from Clay street wharf in the afternoon. LATE News ITEMs.—The public debt last month shows a decrease of $10,850,000. Illinois and West Virginia have ratified the Constitutional_-Amendment. A correspondent of the Alta says J. H. Dawley, is in Washington looking after mint matters, and that Ned Bur-~ ton is also there. See atten nD ALLISON Rancu.—The San Francisco Herald states that work on the famous Allison Ranch mine is soon to be resumed, Erwin Davis is said to have purchased the interests of Stanton, Dan< iels and Fahey—one half—whiks the remainder is owned by the Fiéld estate. Donahue and Colbert.The mine will . be worked by Dayis‘and Colbert after a partition saleshall have been had. complished without material detriment to the debtor class, orthe country at large, must be provided for. To protect the national honor, every dollar of the government indebtedness should be paid in gold, unless otherwise expressed and stipulated in the contract, Let it be understood that no repudiator of one Aarthing of our public debt, will be trusted in a public place ; and it will go far towards strengthening a credit which ought to be the best in the world, and-will ultimately enable us to replace the debt with bonds bearing less interest than we now pay. To this should be added a faithful collection of the revenue, a strict ac-— countability to the treasury for every dollar collected, and thejgreatest practical retrenchmént in expenditure in every department of the Government. When we compare the paying capacity of the country now, with ten States ‘Stil in poverty from the effects of War, but soon to emerge, I trust, into greater prosperity than ever betore, with its paying capacity twenty-five years ago, and calculate what it probably will be twenty-five years hence, who can doubt the feasibility of paying every dollar then with nivre ease than we now pay for useless luxuries. Why, it looks us though Providence has bestowed upon us a strong box of the precious metals locked up in the stetile mountains of the far West, which we are now torging the key to unlock and meet the very-contingency that is now upon us. Ultimately it may be necessary that the General Government should give should only be when a dollar of ebligation to pay secures precisely the same sort of dollar to use now, and not before. While the question of specie payment is in abeyance, the prudent und business wan is carefal abont contracs< ing debts payable in the distant futare. ‘The nation should follow thesame rule, A prostrate connmnerce is td be rebailt and all the industries exCouraged. The young men of the country—those who, from their age; Must be its rulers twenty-five years hence, have a particular interest” in maintaining the national howér. A moment’s reflection as to What.will be our commanding influence among the nations of the earth in their day, it they are only trae to themvelves Should inspire them with national pride ; all uivisions, geographical, political and religious, can jain in this common sentiment, How the pubfic debt is to be paid or Specie payment reee ca Ep: fi.

In regard to foreign policy, I would deal with sections a8 equitably. as fie law requires individuals to deal with each other, and I would protect law-— abiding ¢itizens whether of native or foreign birth, wherever his rights are all nations, demanding equal respect for our own. If others depart from this . be compelled to follow their precedents. The proper treatment of the original occupants of the lands, the Indians, is will favor any cowrse towards them which tends to their civilization, clris tianizationand ultimate citmenstip. The question-of suffrage-is-one which is likely to agitate the public so long as a portion of the citizens -of the:nation are excluded from its privilege in any State. Itseems to me very desirable that this question should be’ settled now. I entertain the hope and express the-desire it may be by the: ratification of the fifteenth Article or the amendment to the Constitution. In conclusion, I ask patience and forbearance one toward another throughout the land, and a determined effort on the part of every citizen to do his share towards cementing a happy Union, and I ask the prayers of the Nation to Almighty God im behalf of this consummation. : SHALL WE CuLtivate Rick ?—S asks the San Francisee Herald ; and it alleges that the tule Jands of California are peculiarly adapted thereto. Thatpaper says : a Our imports of this staple of daily consumption for 1868 amounted to 25, 646,350 pounds., The eonsumption of this article amounted during the same period to 23.764, pounds. These lands would glso, when reclaimed, or at duce: beth sugar and cotton of an excellent quality. With the completion ‘ourselves with a floating population of ten thousand Chinamen, all inured to hard labor ; and such labor as few white -men_in the State have been, or are wil ling to engage in, owing to our anbounded resources, and opportunities to work “on their own hook;”’ and this labor will be seeking! for employment, at such remuneration-as may be offered. What better channel to turn it into, than that of reclaiming these extensive marshes along the borders of the two great rivers of the State, now so worthless ; but which, under proper management, combined with capital, will -become the great fountains of vast wealth to the State, WILD Cat.—A White Pine sorrespondent of the Reese River Reveille speaks in this manner of the most of the mining claims thus far ineorporated in that district : This district needs no praise—it shows for itself. But while that is the fact the surest way to retard its devel— opment andprosperity isto thrust spurious claims on the market by incorporating with a nominal capital of mil:lions, and selling stock that is not worth the paper it is written on, for anything that can be got. And here we promise you that when we hear of any: large company being incorporated to work mines in this district we will visit their mines and report on them. In promising to do this you will remeinber that we do not forget-the fact that most of the corporations which are already formed, have neither mines or progpécts of any, and consequently cap~hot be visited. . ae we 2 a * & PHILADELPHIA ladies’ boot makers claim to excel tiny others in the world,
