The importance of draining is not proP erly understood nor duly appreciated among us. Although water is indispen sable to vegetation, too much of it is quite as hurtful as too little. 'lt is necessary to the germination of the seed—to the de composition of vegetable matter In the soil—to the transmission of food to the plant, to its circulation there and to the maturity of the product. All these useful purposes are defeated when water remains in the soil to excess —the seed rots, the vegetable matter which should serve as the food of the crop remains Insoluble in.consequenee of the absence of heat and air, which the water excludes; or if the seed grows the plant is sickly for want of its proper food, and there is consequently a virtual failure of the harvest. It is not from the surface that we are to determine whether the land Is suffi ciently dry to support a healthy vegeta tion, but we must examine the under stratum from which the plants draw their nourishment. If this is wet, if it grows marshy plants, If water will col lect in a hole sunk fifteen inches below the surface, the land is too wet for culti vated crops, and means should be taken to render' It more dry. Cold, sour lands are invariably wet If not on the surface, then in the subsoil. Wet lands are generally rich lands, be- Cause the presence of water has prevented the decomposition of the vegetable mat ter, which when the surplus water is drawn off becomes food for the growing crops. Let me suppose a case which . will be found to exist in many poFtions . of the country. There is a slope of a little hill half a mile in extent, terminated by a flat through which a little brook runs.— The soil of this slope is fronveight to ten inches deep, of a porous quality, resting upon an Impervious subsoil. Near the top of this slope, all along on a_horizqn tal line, or perhaps lower down, "spouts" or springs burst through the subsoil, the waters from 4rhieli tin ling easy passage through the loose porous soil of the slope and flat, soon find their way to the brook. A thermometer plunged down to the subsoil in midsummer will indicate a temperature of not more than sixty, whereas most of our crops require a tem perature of at least seventy or eighty. How shall we remedy this evil and render this land productive? Simply by running a drain across the slope just above where the land is too wet, and thus eonduct the water into the brook through a harmless channel. Some will object to this on the ground that it will cost too much, but to such I can give nothing better than the Scotch man's answer to asimilar objection, "that it costs more not to do it." • Nor does the benefit of the drain cease when the surplus water has been removed, for it admits the air into and through the soil to a degree' which would surprise those who have no experience in such matters. The draft Ora two inch tile drain one hundred rods long is more than suffi cient to put out a lighted candle, and of course this air must find its way through the soil or the draught would not exist. And as the air always contains more or less moisture It will of course deposit this moisture when it comes in contact with the cooler earth, and in a dry time will keep the soil moist, just as we see the moisture collect upon the outside of a cool pitcher on a warm day in harvest. In fact draining makes wet soil dry and dry so I wet, as has been proved by my self.—Cbr. Telegraph, Olatt Petroleum for Asthma.—A correspond ent of The Country Gentleman writes to that journal : "I have a son, six years old, that had the asthma in the most distressing form for three or four months when he was one or two years old. We tried everything we could hear of without getting- relief, till we were told to rub his neck and breast with petroleum, and we used it both crude and refined, ex periencing very speedy relief and a final and permanent ogre ; for he has not since had a return .of it, and is now a very healthy child."

''' t though the committee had been-long e n •>ered in their task, yet that was oaring to ~e simple desire that this expression of minion should be unanimous, as he felt hal vin saying, it was. (Cheers.) The reso,. tions they had to propose were as follows. Whereas, The convention, managed and controlled by politicians, which as sembled in Pittsburg, on the sth of June last, pledged the officers, soldiers, said seamen of Pennsylvania to the support of the Radical disunion members of Con gress, and as opmek.d to the just and con stitutional rest tion policy of i'resideut Jab u leereas, The members of the said see ton falsely styled themselycs the preileeitati VCR of the soldiers and sail ,eine of Pennsylvania," and presumed to speak for them without authority; And iehercas, The proceedings of the said convention misrepresent the truii sentiments of the great mass of the re turned soldiers and sailors of this State, and do great injustice to the late defend• era of the Constitution and the Union; therefore, be it Reeolis,d, That we, authorized repro sentativee of our late companions in arms, do repudiate the proceedings of the Pittsburg Coaveution of the sth of June, because they do not represent the true sentiments of the officers, soldiers, and seamen of Pennsylvania. (Cheers.) ' Resolved, That we hold the same belief now I hid we did when we took up arms in ISGI, and that tire war was "a tear for the Union," and for tie other purpose; that the agreement we made with the government when we took up arms to defend her against armed rebellioil Is found in the joint resolution of ,Congress adopted . July 22, 1861, . which declares that, "This war is not prosecuted on our part in any ,spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, hut to defend and maintain the suprem acy of the Constitution and to preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States tin impair.. ed." This is the bond many sealed with their lives, and many others signed in blood. (Great cheering.) lessoked, That the failure of Congress to carry Into effect this joint resolution, after' the war is over, and to restore the Union, "with all the dignity, erptality; and rights of the States unimpaired," is a gross violation of a solemn compact made with (he defenders of the government at her time of greatest need and peril. (Ap plause.) Resolved, That see repudiate the action of the Radical Congress, which is an in sult to every officer, soldier, and seaman , who served in the federal army during the rebellion. Her policy admits that our victories accomplished what the,ene my could not—divide the Union—and the fruits of our toil and blood-bought! victories turn to ashes In their hands. ! (Prolonged cheers.) Resolved, That we cordially indorse the restoration policy of President Johnson, as announced in his annual, special, and veto me-usages, and as further made known to the country in his treatment of the States lately in rebellion.. We be - lieve it to be just and humane, and better , adapted than any other known policy to restore those States to their constitution al relations to the Union, and bring re newed peace, happiness, and prosperity to the country. It is in keeping with I that generous treatment which a iriag- i nanimous victor always extends to a brave foe. (Cheers.) Resolved, That the action of Congress in refusing seats" to the Senators and' Members from the South who bear true allegiance to the Constitution and laws, While that body is engaged in changing the fundamental law of the country in an important particular, is revolutionary in its action. ' while their conduct in taxing the, South without her consent, strikes at the vital principle pf constitutional liber ty—that there can he no taxation without representatrion. (Applause.) Resofrcrl, That we are -opposed to no gro suffrage. All legislation that has for Its object the raking of the negro to a se-1 teal or political equality with the white man meets our unqualified disapproval. He and his friends should be satisfied that the war has given his race the boon of freedom, and should not aim to control the destinies of the country. (Prolonged cheers.) I Resolved, That we return thanks to Almighty God for giving victory to the federal armies over armed insurgents, and we congratulate :the country upon a return of peace. It is as much our duty now to use our best endeavors to heal up the wounds of the rebellion as it was to take up arms in defence of the Union. (Applaqse.) ! Resolved, That we deny that John W. Geary- la the soldiers' candidate for Gov- ernor of Pennsylvania. He Is the choice of the Radicals who are now plotting to destroy the Union we perilled our lives to preserve. The men who placed him in nomination, and who are now his most active supporters, repudiate the object of the war by declaring the South out of the ' Union. By accepting their nomination • he assumes their principles, which violate everything he professed to contend for itk i : the field. (Cheers.) 1 Resolved, That we endorse the nomina tioh of the Honorable Hiester Clymer, (cheers) Democratic candidate for Gov- I ernor of Pennsylvania, because he is a man of integrity, and a Statesman of ex- ; perieuce, and approves the principles we advocate. We call upon our late eompan- , ions in arms in this State- to rally to his , support, for his election will be au en dorsement of the cause fur which we fought and bled, while his defeat will be ; a defeat to the cause of the Union. _ I Resolved, That the Radicals in Con gress, professing to speak for the majority of the people, have recently testified their pref6rence for the negro by appropriating monies to support him in Idleness, by the paymept to him of a bounty of $3OO, and their repudiation of the white soldier and his claims, by , the passage eta bounty bill allowing but 1.40,1 to him, without even a provision appropriating money for the payment of the same, thus disregarding his faithful and patriotic services, and de monstrating to the country their belief In the assertion that "the negro bears the palm." (Cheers.) Resolved, That we the soldiers of Pe nn sylvouis,• in Convention assembled do return our sincere thanks to the lion. Charles M. Buckalew and Hon. Edgar Cowan, our representatives in the Senate of the United States, for their noble con duct in sustaining the President's policy of reeon.structiou. (Cheers.) The resolutions having been read, were adopted amid great enthusiasm, the Con vention refusing to e.oasider them sep arately.

CLYMER VOTED VOIR THE MOLDIER VOTIYU AXENDNENT About once a mouth the Disunion or gans resuscitated the falsehood that Hon. Hiester Clymer opposed the Soldiers' Voting amendment. They quote from the Legislative proceedings on the sth of January,lS(ll, c the first day of the session ' ) when the Senate, by a vote of 16 to 16, decided against proceeding to the con sideration of an amendment to the Con= stitution allowing soldiers to Tote, the 16 ayes being all "Republicans" ant the 16 nays Democrats, among them Mr. facts are these: The Senate bad thou; The Last met and wag not organizeil Last stood 16 to 11l politically, and tieti.. r party could elect a new S P eaker- "tis being the ease, the "Re- Publicans" st- , elit to entrap the Demo crats into votiri, affirmatively upon one of various resolut, as ,ll s and amend ments, in order to ~ta t i n t h e Senate as organized, which t O6 -42 have made the old Spedkcr, Penny, the e vea k er for gh a t session without an deetio. ot course whilst the Senate was unorgmilzed the Democrats were justified in voting against any resolution which was intend ed to virtually take from them a great power in the Senate. During that memorable contest the Democrats-voted against many such bo gus propositions and resolutions, amongst the number one tendering the thanks of the people of Pennsylvania to General Grant and the officers and soldiers under him ; another Inviting the Harrisburg clergy to open the sessions with prayer ; another, on the Bth of January, for the reading of the Proclamation and Farewell Address of General Jackson - another tendering thanks to Gen. Meade and the Army of the Potomac ; another a joint resolution requesting our representatives in Congress to vote for the passage of a law Increasing the pay of private soldiers and non-commissioned officers in the army, &e. With the same propriety That opposi tion to the soldiera'• voting amendment Is charged upon Mr. Clymer by the Dis union organs, it might be asserted, from the votes upon the afore-mentioned reso lutions. that the whole Democratic Sena torial delegation were opposed to (lens. Grant and Meade; the tirades; Old Hickory, the apostle of Democracy ; and the Christian religion! Nobody but knaves, however, make such assertions and none but fools believe them. On the 2,5 th of February Mr. Thomas St. Clair was sworn in as a Senator to till the unexpired term of Col. Harry WWI*. which gave the "Republicans' 17 yotes. The Senate was then organized and the various officers elected, but the "Repub ! licans" refused, until March lth, to take the thirteenth ballot fur Speaker, which resulted in the choice of the old Speaker, Penny—the vote standing: Pettily 17; Clymer 16. During the remainder of the session, when the hills and amendments allow ing the soldiers to vote were brought up for consideration, Mr. Clymer and the other Democratic Senators used all pro per exertions to secure a good law upon the subject—one which would secure to every soldier the right of choice. To that end they opposed parts of proposed bills, designed to make the law grossly parti san, and submitted amendments which would enable every; soldier to vote un influenced and without compulsion or in timidalioa, but their efforts were un availing, and their amendmcnts were voted down by the misehßed Republicans! Notwithstanding the law that was passed is-a strictly partisan one, and de signed to take from the private soldiers the free right of choice in a great mea sure, Mr: Clymer, rather than put him -elf into seeming antagonism to the sol diers' interests , voted for the bill on its final passage. ' Let the Soldiers them selves sav whether it is such a law es they would have passed, and whether as Democrats they had a fair opportunity to vote, and a free unobstructed choice under it. Hundreds of soldiers have de clared they had not. —Patriot & Union. Myren/a/or the Phitadelphict Conven tion.—.-A great "wigwam" for the accom modation of the National Union Conven tion has been erected hi Phildelphia. The Newe, referring to, it, says : The plans are now in the hands of" the architect. They will be rapidly carried into execution and the building proba bly completed by the 10th of August. The wigwam will be the most extensive pyramid of canvas ever erected in the United States. It will exceed in size the Chicago Lincoln convention of Dol. It will seat ten thousand persons. A special gallery for ladies will be a prom inent feature of the building. It will be erected on the Central Skating Park of Dr.- Jansen, at Fifteenth and Wallace streets, and will occupy nearly all of that large quadrilateral. The Convention that is to assemble within three weeks will be the largest and most important body of statesmen .ever convened in America. The wisdom and forethought of the National Union Johnson Club of this city in erecting it is commendable. Without It no place of meeting for the convention could have been atYorded in the city. How they Carry out Their Promises.— "Brick" Pomeroy was oil a visit lately to Washington. In writing to his paper he says: We look in vain in the several depArtments for the one-armed crippled or veteran soldiers, who were to be re warded by the Republican party. The one-armed heroes are not popular. The left-hand writers are not there. Once in a while we found a poor widow M some of the departments—merely to build a news paper article on for country consumption. But we found hundreds of negroes swarm ing about these offices—opening mid shut ting doors, as if those who passed through could not wait on themselves—We found these dusky lambs of Abraham answering bUI-ealis everywhere—we saw them in tl gallery of Congress, scratching their dirty heads, chewing peanuts, and smi ling approval on their Radical deliverers. And we saw one-armed, one-legged, and otherwise mutilated white soldiers, sell ing apples, peanuts, papers, and Nuell stuff en the streets—generously provided for 14—f/wow/re& • Every "11spublican" member of Congress from this State voted fix Negro Suffrage in the District of Columbia.

This Mr. Durell refused to do, 011 the ground that his functions ceased when the Convention of 18414 adjourned, end imeitentling that that body could now have no legal existence. Notwithstanding this refusal, the Con vention was called ito meet, anti did a:- semble in New Widens.
