Agricultural Union. No. 2. Mr. Enrror, Sir,--I ended my last letter by saying that we wanted a union that would blend, bind and cement us together, that we might be as inseparable as the Rock of Ages. 'And, Sir, I am of the opinion still. Tear 'me, brethren, for our common cause--our common interest and welfare ; it is for that, I speak, and that only. My great object is to effect an organization of some kind that will prove beneficial to usin a mass, (that is to say, to form an institution where- by each and every color may be benefited) the foundation of which being laid in love, unity of feelings and action. The ground work of the building thus laid in unity and love, would result inevitably in our elevation. Yes, " And if each system in grandeur roll, Alike essential to the amazing whole." ° _And, sir, I speak of an agricultural union because I believe it. to be' the only sure foundation for a poor and degraded people to build upon. Having seen, by glancing 'an eye down long vista of ag:s past, 'and reviewing the history of years passed away, demonstrates the fact that agriculture ' has been the mother and nurse of all the nations of earth, ia all ages. Therefore, 1 think ws ought to be proud that we have the same resource to resort to that all other nations had for their elevation. Let us then turn our attention to those thi igs that made other nations mighty. In a word, all an oppressed nation wants to gain their liberty is, union first, and then money, and the thing is done. Uaion is power and money the operator. The fact is demonstrated in the person of our great enemy, Louis Kossuth (of whom Ishall speak at another time) he has the confidence ef his dear people, and he also confides in them, Therefore the most per- fect union exists among the Iungarians ; all they want is moffey to accomplish their designs; and they have sent him out, to raise the money necessary to carry out their plans. Brethren, we have no Kossuth to send out on the broad ocean of benevolence and public opinion, to raise the money and gather all the public sympathy that is afloat, merely by fancy speaking in our favor. No, sir, our pathway is steep and rugged, and to prevent our onward march, innumerable barriers are interlinked across our path; the chain is formed of such mighty links as the Calhouns, the Websters, the Clays and the Filmores, and the great strengthening link.to their chain is Louis Kossuth; the weizht of his influence wil] be felt by the suffering slaves for 25 years or longer. This is well known to us all; he that is not for us is against us. Then brethren, it is our imperative duty to beeome united, be cause we have got to work out our own salvation; then let every man of us be a Kossuth. There is no scheme, according to my weak judgment, that we can by any possi- ble means derive as much advantage from as we can from an agricultural union; say for instance, that we got only 1000 sub- scribers or stockholders the first year; that would give us a capital of 5000 dollars at 'the onset. That would buy and put unde) cultivation 2000 acres of land, and give employment to three or four hundred of our ccolored brethren on the farms; and there would be officers wanted also. It is not my purpose to:-write a long letter at this 'time. Iam very much engaged in trying to organize this mighty union--for mighty it is destined to be. I hope to give you the organization and constitution in a few weeks, J. T. Fisner, P.S. The vocabulary is not exhausted yet. : Villaimny Exposed. The persons whose signatures appear under the following letter, are respectable members of society, and know whereof they affirm. Elder H. 1. Hawkins is secre- tary of the Canada colored Baptist Mission- ary Society, and the others are deacons and members, of the Baptist churehes of Chat- ham, and Amherstburgh. We are glad this exposure has been made; it will serve to open the eyes of a beneyolent public to the facts connected with the so called mission- ary operations of Rev. Isaac J. Rico, and the extensive begging scheme which he is at present setting on foot, through the agency of colored men and published ap- peals. The first number of what Mr. Rice is pleased to call the " Amherstburg Quar~ trely Mission Journal," purporting to be a faithful report of his labors and sufferings as a missionary amongst the fugitives in Canadais before us. Five thousand copies of this Journal have been printed and scat- tered over the United States. Earnest ap- peals are made in it for clothes, bedding, and provisions to relieve the physical suf- ferings of the fugitives, and his " mission house," is represented a vast lazar house in which are many sick, insane, and infirm persons, demanding constant care, and as- istance. His own circumstances are de- picted as pitiful in the extreme. You see him riding, from place to place, in an old ricketty buggy, drawn by a limping horse, in keeping with his own personal appear- ance and adornment. Nothing can be more false than such a representation of things. How long are we to be represented as a nation of paupers--in nakedness and star- ary who has not given his protest against this begging system, as derogatory to our characters and a hinderance to our advance- ment ; and the time has come when all such beggars should be considered and treated as impostors. To the Editor of the Voice of the Fugitive. Chatham, Feb. 21, 1852. My Dear Sir,--Permit me to state, through your paper for the interest of all concerned, tliat Elder W. Carter, formerly an ageat of the Canada colored Baptist Missionary Society, on his late arrival at Amherstburg, claimed one half of what he had collected, or within a few cents of it, and having the money in his possession he held fast to it. This gave an offence to the .oflicers of the society, and of course they disposed of him as their agent. A few days since Isaac J. Rice, Elder W. Car- ter, and several other persons formed them- selves into a Union Board or Society. This Union Board has appointed three able- bodied men, each able to cut three cords of wood per day, as public beggars, among whom is the Rev. W. Carter. Suffice it to say, at our late Board Meeting, Isaac J. Rice, Elder W. Carter, and all others of our denomination found connected with that clique have been excluded from our mission- ary society.. Recent development about the so called mission house, has brought to light things which had been secreted for some considerable time; in fact some of the members of the Baptist church said in a public meeting, that they had almost perjured themselves tu save Rice's character and that they would not do it any longer. Diunkenness and other abominations have been carried on at the mission house. M. Stephens. E. Valentine. Deacons Bapt. Ch. Amherstburg. Daniel Binga, jun. David Medley. Geo. M. Crawford. Geo. Young.

We remember, says a writer in the True American, the story of a cruel master, who, without cause had determined to sever a slave mother and her only child. She had been faithful under the very worst usage, and she determined to remain so, until he told her that on the morrow her child must be borne to New Orleans to be sold there in the slave mart. lt was mid-winter. The earth was frosted with a hard crust, yet at midnight she started for the Ohio, determined, if she could, to live and die with her ebild. She reached its banks as the pursuers rose the hill beyond--no boat, was near--masses of broken ice were sluggishly drifting along--what was she to do? 'Trusting to Heaven, she put her foot on the treacherous element, and with it bending and breaking beneath her, (spectators on either side ex- pecting to see her and her child sink at every moment), she boldly pushed on from cake to cake until she landed safely on the Ohio shore. Five minutes sooner and she must have perished--two minutes later and she would have met with a watery grave, for betore she had proceeded twenty steps the ice behind her, close on the Kentucky side, had broken, and was scattered ere she reached the mid river. "Thank God, you and your child are safe," exclaimed the hard hearted master as he saw her land, rejoiced that he had escaped the respunsibility of her death. "Brave woman," said a Kentuckian who had witnessed her escape, and met her at the landinz, " you have won your freedom and shall have it." 'The mother and the child were kept together, and liberty and love are now their lot, in their humble but happy home. Was there no true heroism here, and is not the scene svorthy the sweetest song of poetry, or the holiest praise of man ? ff.z@- Married, in Boston, at the residence of Mr. S, G. Ward, by the Rey.

Farmers should always have their rails split and drawn out to where they intend to make fences before the first of March, while the ground is frozen, so that their fences should be all built and repaired by the tenth day of March. Those who intend to rent land for farm- ing purposes, should not wait until spring opens before they haye it all secured and | their seed ready. Mice 1n Barns.--A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker observes that hay-mows having Spearmint in them were free from rats and mice while other parts of the barn were much infested ; and that a waggon load of mint scattered through the grain effectually prevents these depredations. Milk cows that are expected to calye in the spring, say Mareh, should not only be fed, but they should have a little meal or shorts and bran to strengthen them, i Errecrs or Peat Cnarcoa. in" sEryING Porarors.--The Farmers' H states that in putting a quantity of potato in the ordinary way, a small quantity of peat charcoal was strewn over the tubers in one of the pits; and on opening it the potatoes were quite sound, while in the other pits two t'iirds were quite rotted. All the other circumstances being alike, the difference in the result is attributed to the sole action of the charcoal. To Make Breap wirnovur Crust.--The Prairie Farmer says, " When loaves are moulded and before they are set down to 'y1se, take a small portion of clean lard, and warm, and rub it lightly over loaves ; and it will bake a erust beautifully soft aud tender throughout. This is no guess work. Cultivators of the Earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most in- dependent, the most virtuous, and they are vied to their country, and wedded to liberty and its interests by the most lasting bonds. Jenny Lrxp's usuann.--Otto Gold- schmidtis a Jew by birth, and until recently by persuasion, but was converted to Chris- tianity by Jenny Lind and Rev. Dr. Wain- wright of N. Y. by the latter of whom he was baptised and contirmed in the Episcopal faith. i Joun P. Harz.--A convention of Free Democrats in Ohto have seconded John P. Hale for the Presidency and Samuel Lewis for the Vice Presidency. No true man can reasonably object to the selection. Mr. Hale has been suggested by several other conventions, and the ree Demoeratie papers of the East. Popular sentiments points to him as the man. Perhaps we shall at length have the privilege of voting for our favorite man ; and, thereby remedying the mistake of '48.-- Western Citizen. History or Axtconot.---Alcohol was invented 940 years ago, by the son of a strange woman, Hagger, in Arabia. Ladies used it with a powder to paint themselves, that they might appear more beautiful, and this powder was called alcohol. During the reivn of William and = Mary an act was passed encouraging the manufacture of spirits, Soon after, intemperance and profligacy prevailed to such an extent that the retailers of in'oxicating drinks put up signs in public places, informing the people that they might get drunk for a penny, and have straw to lie on. In the 16th century, distilled spirits spread over, the continent of Europe. About this time it was introduced into the Colonies, as the United States were then called. The first notice we have of its use in public life was among. the laborers in the Ilungarian mines, in the 15th century. In 1751. it was used by the English soldiers as.a cordial. The alcohol in Europe was made of grapes and sold in Italy and Spain as a medicine in bottles under the name of the water of life. Until the sixteenth century it had only been kept by apothecaries as medicine. During the reign of Henry VII, brandy was unknown in Ireland, and soon its alarming effects induced the government to pass a law prohibiting its manufacture. About on: hundred years ago it was used as a beverage. especially among the soldiers in the English colonies in North America, under the preposterous notion that it prevented sickness and made men fearless m the field of battle. It was looked upon as a sovereign specific. Whosoever has not charity, cannot have the smallest portion of faith. Char- ity is the very ground in which faith is implanted : it is the heart whence faith derives its existence and life ; where/ore the ancients compared love and charity to the heart, and faith to the lungs, both of which have their seat in the breast.-- ' The comparison is most just, sin-e for any one to endeavor to form to himself a lie of faith without charily, is like en- deavoring to continue bodily life by the lungs alone, without the heart, the impos- sibility of which is obvious to every one.
