Is LEARN/NG your ambition ?

DRAININIi.
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,

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."

LymEGROPTED BY THE JOHN
HARRISBURG. IH.ERS 9 CONVENTLON AT
Gen. Davis, from.s l Committee on
Resolutions,
reP°rted. ''' 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.
SWEdward Shriver, Esq„ of Frede
rick, has been nominated by the Presi
dent, and confirmed -by the Senate, as
Postmaster at Baltimcire.
Or rite S'entosman says the Dernoorga

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

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. So
also on the bill to admit no more terri
tories as States without .Negro Suffrage.
(TEARY stands upon a platform which
endorses Congress. Nay, he is the can
didate of Thaddeus Stevens, and his
said that he approves all that the latter
has said and done in Congress. Now,
every man who votes for (31EATtY votes
to endorse Congress, votes to prove
Thad. Stevens, vote 4 for Negro Su rage!
Will people please bear these /ads in
mind ?
ler There are mrrny good farmers who
never could make good inechaniCs;" good
book-keepers who could uever make sue
eaten' merchants. There are thany
ripe scholars who can never make good
practical physicians ; there are good phy
sicians who could never become good
}lawyers, and e4oe versa. There is some
thing back of an education requisite to
success 'in any profession. The gospel
'ministry' is by no means an exeeption
to the rule.--r-W. I. Mirk. • •

' , Upon the previous Friday ntul Satin-.

groes had been addressed by the leading
spirits in the negro rights movement--
among whom were 1)r. D'Ostie, a most
violent advocate of neernism, Ex-Gov.
Ilahn, A. M. Fish, John Henderaon, arid
others. Upon the termination of those
meetings the negroes marched-through
the streets, armed with clubs and pistols,
and threatened vengeance upon all oppo

With some white men—originating hea
single assault of one of the negroes in the
procession upon aNr hi teAuutt: The police
followed the offenders to the hall and
endeavored to make arrests, but were
driven out. and roughly handfed -bricks,

by &settler large body of negroes by
whom they were driven down Dryades

and drove the negroes back, but tiers:, hi
turn, forced to retire. Getting rethfureo

men Joining them, they drove thenegroes
from the street and appeared In front of

trifee-poured upon them from the negroes
within. The aunuunitiou of those with

ulace and police secured possession of the
building, the people vowing Veugeatico
against the revolutionists and their negro
guards. Numbers of the negroes were
killed before they could eseapeutrom the

notwithstanding the hostility of the lie-
Arees to themselves, took possession of

locking them up. ' The rioting com

terminated at half past three.
Evidently the revolutionists and ne-

and mistook the quietness of the people

RADICALISX IS' NEW 0 /ALEA:N%
•
The Radioal lltembors of the Louisiana
Convention, which assembled In Plat to
draft a new countitutien for the State,
desired the President 'thereof, Mr. E. IL
Durell, to reconvoke the Convention this
summer for the purr).* of taking aetion
on the amendmout the Constitutlon'of
- the United States, Which was passed hv
the present ConiTess. 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. Preilouti to the
assembling of this hogus Con yention, the
Radicals called a public ineeting,.whlei►

quell the distur,puitue, and at the latest

fair sample of what the Radleals are pre
