AN AFTERNOON AT -ORITTIEBERO.
111 , BON. 80IIITYLIM 00L/AX
therryssuita, Pa., May 9, 1867
Mr DiAs ME. TILTON :
When we shook hands for good-bye last
Monday, you insisted that I must write you
My impressions of my first visit to. this his
toric battle-field ; and here they are.
I was fortunate, on arriving here this after
noon, in finding that my valued Mend and
associate, Mr. ; McPherson, the deservedly
popular Clerk of the House, who resides
here,' had arranged that Rev. J. R. Warner
should accompany us. Mr. W. is a Presby
terian minister of this borough, who was a
deeply interested spectator of those eventful
days of July, 1863; who has since then stud
ied most thoroughly all the movements of the
divisions, corps, and armies—conversed with
all the generals, Union and Rebel, who have
visited the battle-fleld ; and who is, therefore,
a walking encyclopedia of its history.
On this beautiful May afternoon, so much
more lovely after the storm of the last three
days, I felt an indescribable sadness stealing
over Me, when we stood on Cemetery Hill,
with the quiet town of Gettysburg beneath
us, and the thousands of graves of our dead
soldiers from eighteen States, all around--
The fields, and forests, and gardens were
bright witithe glorious resurrection of spring,
and the!'" wis full of that electric vlgor
which braces nerves and sinews for the active
duties of life. But these were forgotten for
the moment, as we remembered that we stood
on the ground sanctified by the patriot blood
that had flowed here so freely to save our im
periled land from destruction. In a little
while, however, I was listening eagerly to the
clear and vivid recital of the exciting scenes
of those great days—the marching and coun
termarching of regiments and armies, the
charge, the shock of the contending legions,
the repulse, and the final victory when Lee's
confident and enthusiastic army was hurled
back toward the Potomac.
Before us stretched the long line of the
South Mountains, over which the invaders
came from the Cumberland Valley, which is
the Pennsylvania extension of the Shenan
doah ; and on either side was the high ground,
from Culp's Hill on the right to Round Top
on the left, which military genius had se
lected as` the stronghold where the Union
luta were 'to encounter the cohorts of the
rebellion. Between the key-point of our sit
uation, where we stood, and the mountains,
was the ridge where, on the first day of July,
the contending forms met, where the gallant
Reynolds fell, and where the enemy won the
first point in this bloody game, of which a
nation was the stake.
But Providence, which has so signally
guarded Oardestinies through all the history
of our blic, seemed to interpose in our
favor even in this gloomy hour of disaster. A
fortunate order by Lee prevented well from
weupying Onip's Hill, which would have
been fatal, in all probability, to our final suc
cess. Bedgwick, with hil brilliant march of
3 miles in 24 hours, from toward York,
brought uprids corps. Hancock took com
mand, by,Meade's order, of Reynolds' corps,
after his - untimely death, and brought order
out of disorder. And the noble Howard,
with one arm lost before Richmond, but
ready to give the other with tds heart's blood
fat his country, occupied this hill, with our
grim cannon, and their brave ceemoniers.
bristling at every angle and before every pos
sible approach. •
On the second day Providence again inter
fered on the side of Liberty. Ewell and
Longstreet were both to attack our lines
simultaneously and in force. But while the
latter charged with the usual rebel impetuos
ity and daring (which I would not underrate]
at 4 P. M., the former was not ready till 8,
and the day ended in a drawn battle.
The next day the decisive conflict opened.
I have neither time nor space to give you .
even the faintest abstract of the hand-to-band
encounters by which it was distinguished in
our battle-record. Of the daring charge
which Geary led at Culp's Hill, where ,by 11
A. M. he had recovered all that had been lost
in that diitection the previous day, and where
1,250 Confederated left on the ground attested
its sanguinary character, every one has heard.
But what, of course, impressed me most was
the final charge of the rebels upon the weak
est point in our line—a depression,of ground
between Cemetery Hill and Round Top—
which settled the fortunes of the day: and
enshrined Gettysburg in all loyal hearta—
And, as the graphic chronicler of this scene
kindled with enthusiasm as he spoke, it
seemed to rise before my eyes as palpably as
It did before my mind.,
Musing 16,000 fresh and vigerTs troops
against the point where our line was to be
broken—with their battle-flags of Bull Run,
Fredericksburg, and Antietam in the van, to
inspire the soldiers who had so often fought
under them—with their 145 cannon all in po
sition, and cannonading our whole line to .
Prevent succer to the attacked point, they
marched *cross the level plain, from behind
the skirt of woods where they had prepared
for the charge, to what all felt was to be the
final encounter. One-third of the distance
was accomplished safely, and onward they
moved. But now the Union cannon opened
upon them, and the wind-rows of dead, cut
in lanes through the advancing army, attested
the accuracy of the Union cannoniera. Clos
ing up together, as their ranks thinned, on
ward still they rushed. Gibbon gallops along
the Union line to restrain the impetuosity of
our riflemen,, eriaindng, "Not yet! Not
yet I Hold your fire, boys !" .Advancing on
the right and left, to flank and envelop the
enemy, dashed Hays, of Pennsylvania, and
fitannard. of Vermont; the latter with Ida
"nine-months men," whose time had expired,
but who had volunteered for the daring strug
gle, and who left half their number on the
field. And by SP. M. the contest. was over
-but mod left of that rebel force to retreat,
their t wlu4e army was flying toward the
mountains!. and Gettysburg was won. The
next morning the stirring strains of victory
with which the Union bands on Cemetery
Hill pointed the anniversary. of American in
dependence unconsciously responded to the
same glorious music from the ramparts of
con inered Vicksburg, in the distant West,
end were echoed by rejgicing millions through
out tits land..
I dare not trespasa on your space further,
eercept to say that, as we drove around these
scenes of thrilling interest, and passed the
gallant Sickles left the limb

Barksdale, shot in the head and

ARAB DINNER CI7BTOBIL
A correspondent of a London journal ha .
dined in the Arab Custom at the Exhibition,
makes a note in the English fashion : 4 There
were nine in the party. As we were,ushered
Into the dining. apartment, a servant handed
each guest a towel, and held a metallic basin,
while another poured water over' the hands,
We were then seated on cushior.s, on the floor;
around a circular metallic table, about eighteen
inches high, with a rim around it. In front
ofeach guest was a spoon and piece of bread.
First came soup, of which each dipped. Then
boiled fowl was placed in the center of the ta
ble, and rapidly and gracefully carved by the
governor with his fingers. He, then, with his
fingers, passed a piece to each. The greatest
compliment an Arab can pay is to Ines you
the leg of a fowl, after first having bitten off
a mouthful for himself. Then came eleven
other dishes in rapid succession, each served
in the same manner—even dishes that were
like our pies and puddings. The cooking was
all good, seasoning excellent. After we arose
from the table come long pipes—ehiboux,
and coffee—preceding which, however, the
ceremony of washing the hands was gone
through' with, and they needed it. We were
soon ushered into the main hall of the house,
and witnessed an exhibition of dancing, ac
companied by Egyptian instrumental music.
The dancing women are the most - beautiful
of all "the fair and frail" of Egypt, and dance
as did the daughter of Herodias—which, I
should say, was all the worse for the daugh
ter."
A POSER.
The worthy gentleman who rules the rising
generation of boys in a certain town in Ten
nessee, had occasion recently to correct a lit
tle fellow named Johnny. Now Johnny got
into a fit of what is called "sulks," because be
was whipped, and in order to convince' him
that he was justly and necessarily punished,
his teacher had recourse to the .following ar
gument. "Well, Johnny, suppose you were
riding a big horse' to water, and had a keen
switch in yct,,,hand; and all at once the horse
were to stop and rinse 'to go any further,
wh" would you do?" 'Johnny stifled his sobs
for a moment, and lookitig up through his
tears, replied, "I'd cluck to him, sir." "But,
Johnny, suppose he wouldn't go for your
clucking, what would you do then ?" "I'd
get down and lead him, sir." "And what 11
he were obstinate and would not let you lead
him?" "Why, I'd take off his bridle and
turn him loose, and walk home, air." "You
may,go and take your seat, Johnny." Johnny
could not be made to see the necessity for
using the switch.
THE HEAD TURNED ROUND.
A crazy man was found at a grindstone
sharpening a large butcher knife, and now
and then examining the edge to see if it waa
keen.
"What are you doing there ?"
"Don't:you see ? Sharpening this big knife
"Yes, but what are you going to do with
when sharpened ?"
"Cat old test Brown's head off, to be sure
"What! you ison't kill him, will you ?"
"Oh, no ! Pil only cut his head off and
stick it right on again hind side before, just to
let the old fellow look back on his past life !
It would take him all the rest of lila life to re
view it."
What a queer idea the lunatic had in his
Mind. And what if it were so, Mit every
man when he reached a certain age had his
face turned around, and was obliged totpend
the rest of his days in looking over his past
life ! Wouldn't there be strange sights ?—Sun

GOING TO LAW.
Two. Dutchmen who built and used in com
mon a small bridge over a stream which ran
through their farms, had a dispute concerning
some repairs which it required, and one of
them positively refused to bear any portion of
the expenses necessary to the purchase of a
few planks. Finally, the aggrieved party
went to a neighboring lawyer, and placing two
sovereigns in his hairid said :
"I give you alOdish money if you make
Hans do justice mit €pridge."
`Sow much will it cost to repair it ?" asked
the honest lawyer.
",Not more ash wun pound," replied th
Dutchman.
"Very well," said the lawyer, pocketing one
of the sovereigns, and giving him the other,
"take this, and go get the bridge repaired; , 'tie
the best course you ma take."
"Yeas," said the Dutchman, slowly, "yeas,
dat ish more batter as to quarrel znit Hans;'
but as he went along home, he shook his head
frequently, as if unable, after all, to see quite
clearly h i he had . gaitted anything by going .

TUX WUXAT IMIGH6 OXWIMAT TILT.
On th e 18th_ Inst., Iffs. C. .1. Menand, an
=Lt farmer of Lancaster county,
e some earth ccaftalning the lens of '
the 'Mott Ifly" nornetiMas aft= cal
led the t 'Red W i evil." Mr. H. this
earth from a low, fialsportion of a witted 'field
on his neighbor's farm; a field is Which *heat
was also groWn last seam After,* ham
shower of rain, which oveafiowed tide low part
of the field, when the waters had subsided, be
found the smooth earth covered with a yel
lowish deposit, but having no magnifying
ghusi with hird; and his natural sight not las
ing Strong enough, he could not dikelhine
what the nature of this yellow subetance iraa.
Returning to the field the day after theAt,
Mr. H. was surprised to find that the
substance he saw the day before had entirely
disappeared ; but on closely examining the
surface of the earth, he found it punctured
with millions, perhaps—at least with unac
countable =ultimo—of small holes, as though
the smooth clay had been. thickly prickled
with a pin. On digging down half an inch
below the surface, he found any number of
thelittle yellow objectirwhich he was in pur
suit of, and which, on examination, prove to
be the hums of Ceoiclontyia tritici—the dot
structive wheat fly. With those in my pos
session I produced the same effect witnessed
by Mr. Hiestand.. On saturating the soil with
water, it brought all the lame to the surface,
but, after the water had subsided, they would
all penetrate the soli and go , below,. leaving
the surface like a finefy cellulated sponge.
This fact, developed through the instru
mentality of Mr. Hiestand—or, rather, con.-
firmed by his discovery—setdes a heretofore
mooted question : That Is, that the lame of
the wheat fly remains a larva in the earth of,
the field where it was born, from the middle
or end of June in one year, until the 18th or
20th of May, at least, in the next year. Now
whet does this fact suggest to the intelligent
flamer ? Why, clearly this : That he ought to
institute an examination of hiawheat fields du
ring the month of May—say from the 10th to
the end of the month—and if he finds these
orange colored larva in the soil—which he
will by the aid of a common pockettnagniflar •
and digging from a half to an inch and a half
below the surface—in any considerable num
bers, then let him turn it down with, a deep
sub-eoil plow. If there bt only one acre of
ground in one township that is as thick
ly permeated by the larva of the wheat fly as
the small quantity of-soil brought to me by Mr.
H., enough flies may breed from it to in . • .
the whole township, if not half of the .. , % .
It would be a nice question to . • ..
how these insects can subsist in the larva state,
end be'subjected to all the various changes of
heat and cold, wet and dry, for the period of
nearly a whole year. This fact would seem
to imply that there is no other ' remedy than
the one which has been suggested, because
any application that would destroy the larva:
would also destroy the wheat, and might also
unfit the soil fora subsequent crop. If the
plowing down seems to be necessary, from the
presence of these lame in the soil, a crop of
corn or late potatoes may still be raised upon it.
But many of these lame do not reach the
ground, but remain in the husks of the grain,
and are carried to the stack and the grain
mow. According to the experiments of Dr.
ABS Pitch, they do not die in the grain husks,
but, on the contrary, on the application of
moisture they revive again. I have tin vari
ous occasions rubbed infected wheat-heads un
til they were completely divested of their
grains, and found afterwards that the larger
number of the larva , remained in the chaff.—
It has long been my opinion that the chaff may
pass through a threshing machine and a win
nowing mill, and the larvae orpupa be still in
it, comparatively uninjured. A portion of*
this chaff is fed to cattle, but a large portion
"niches the barn-yard, and*-is from thence
hauled to the fields. When mown to be in
fected, it ought to be burnt. —Censurer Er-

BEST TIME TO NOW GUAM SEED,
I have an impression that experimental knowl
edge is the most valuable for the farther. For
more than half a century I have been experi
menting to , find the best time to sow grass
seed. For more than thirty of the first years
of my farming I did as my neighbors dfd ;
we supposed that the spring months were the
only proper ones for that purpose. But later
in life, by reading agricultural papers, I dis
covered that some enterprising farmers were
snecessful in sowing their grass seed in Aug
ust or September. I tried the experiment with
complete success ; that being the season it
would naturally fall,, it appeared to my mind
that iewas the right one. But still later I have
not been particular, and have sowed grass seed
et any season when my gratmd was prepared
to receive it, and if the seed was good it has
uniformly vegetated ands done well.
Last fall we (my son and myself) after har
vesting our potatoes from the low, wet soil,
Which would not admit of seeding down in
early spring, sowed herd • grass and' red-top
seed on the 14th and Isth of Octiker upon
said potato field, doubting. but still hoping for
the best ; and now, the Bth of June, abidp_fair
to give us the best crop of hay produced on \
any of my farm lots. This grass probe* will
require two weeks longer to grow tam that
which has been seeded down longer. I think
I never saw seed vegetate better at any season.
Grass seed will vegitate a long time after*.
big sowed. In the spring of 1863 I seeded
down a lot of good ground, but rather dry ,
with red-top seed; the months of June and
