(.iiiiion'8 Battle-field, Bin Hole, August 11. Your correspondent ar rived boro at 10 o'clock this morning in company with General Howard af ter a tremendous ride with a small body guard and Boine Indian scouts. Tbo accounts ot tuo ngni given uy tbo panic stricken citizens in their flight from tho scene I find aro either entirely untrue or grossly exaggerat ed. They can bo, perhaps, as well cor rected by a simple stntemcnt of tho facts as in any other way, and theso I proceed to givo yon. Alter persistently ionowing on mo trail of tho Indians tor some dajB, word was brought to Genoral Gibbon that tho reds were encamped on the Big Fork near the junction ol the itit ter Root and Bannock trails, and shortly before) midnight tho whole command wns on the march, and at dawn on the morning of tbo 9th they struck tho bostilo camp, numbering oiL'hlv-ninc lodircs. Tho surprise was complete, the great mass of tbo Indians being in thoir bods. The soldiers wero right in tho midst of the tepees bclore the firing oomniencod, and with the first crack of the guns tbo savages rushed from thoir beds in wild dismay, only to bo met in many Instances with a death shot before tho situation was fairly realised. With all his advantages, however, tho force of Goneral Gibbon was too small for the work bo had undertaken, Ho small Indeed was bis forco that ho was unablo to cover tho cntiro Indian lino in his attack, which onablod a largo part of the savages to concen trate among tho remoter tepees and in tho brush surrounding them, from which both the bucks and squaws kept up an incessant and well-directed tiro, which forced tho troops into a defen sive position, from which tho savages attempted to oisiougo inciii, uuv uu nut. nlll'CmiH. The fight was kept up for a consid erable time, but finally resulted in the Hii'ht of the Indians to tho south wont, leaving a conaitlcrublp. number of their dead on tho Item. Tho Ions of Generul Gibbon is very larue in proportion to tbo number of troops engaged, and clearly shows tho ilcatiernto characlcr of the fighting.

Camp John Gibbon, Hitter Hoot Valley, M. T, August .-..eneri Howard arrived hero tins auornoon, MID. ..Jill CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1877. completing in five days a march of 125 miles, ttirougn mountain gorges ana ovor tho rocky heights throadod by the Lola trail. Col. Gibbon is in the Bite Hole country and within fifloon miles of the Indians, who are moving slowly about nine miles a day, loaving a wako of exhausted horses to tell the cripplod condition and the lessenod re sources of the band. Hearing this and behoving an en gagement must tako placo within a day or two Uonoral Howard will leave to-morrow with an escort of twenty men, and if it lie within the capabili ties of horse-flesh will be with Gibbon before night Lieutenant Wood, ono of his aids, and Mr. Bonny, his clerk, accompany him. The rest of bis staff and the Cavalry remain behind, though they are within reach by making one day's forced march. The editor of the Philadelphia Timet, in alluding to tho useless slaughter of human life, recently, in bunting In dians, terms iti"a wanton sacrifice," and continues: Feelings of sorrow and indignation strugglo for the mastory as we read of tbo terrible slaughter ol Goneral Gib bon's command sorrow for the dead who fought so bravely and bitter in dignation at tho wicked plans that sont theso noble fellows to meet their death. It is tbe story ot tho Custer massacre over again, without a redeem ing featuro and hardly a ray of com fort to lighten tho sombre tale. Gon. lorry set out on tho campaign against Sitting Bull and met a poworful, brave and strategic foo on a battle-ground of Ins own choosing. Custer s brave soul disdained thoughts of prudenoo and caution, and his life paid the penalty of bis rashness. Tbe army had barely enough men left to get back to rein forcements. 1 hat General Howards campaign against tho JNoa 1'erces could have any better ending was al most hoping against hope. Had no boon conducting a Moody and Sankoy movement or a Murphy temperance revival his egotistical and despicablo bulletins might bavo been less out ol place. But ho was pursuing tho brav est and tho strongest tribe of Indians in tho country through a rogion with which they were thoroughly familiar, its conformation such that thoy could chooso their ground so that ono man might well stand against a thousand. Ho was entering on a campaign such as has balked tho energies and dotted the strategy ot our ablest lienorals, and he spent his timo telling tbe poo- do in the l.ast bow skilllully lioneral Ioward was concentrating his forces, bow he was driving Joseph and how the capture ot his whole force was on ly a question of days. At last bo learns that Joseph is ready to surrender, and wbilo ho hastens to inform tbo vt ar Department and an .uixious public whom ho has appointed to receive Jo seph's surrender, the wily Indian chief is quietly planning the trap wbicb has cost us two score of our bravest men. General Howard's plan of fighting tho Indians by teJcgrapn has tho merit ol novelty, It is truo, out lis success uocs not seem to warrant its genoral use in the future. Brave General Gibbon pushod ahead with his little command, numbering less than halt a regimont 182 men ail told with Howard thirty six or forty eight hours in tho roar. Coming up with the Indians at night he left A guard with the transportation, and at daylight ho was at the Indian camp. The volunteers fired at an Indian going alter tho horses, and this littlo forco, wcakenod still further by losing the guard left with the train, charged into tho camp. Howard was behind them with 750 men, but the fnto of Custor had no warning tor them. 1 hey rush ed in single-handed, charged upon the lodges and wero repulsed. Tho fight ing continuod all day and ended by tho troops holding tbeir own. Hut tho bad gained nothing ; they had lost a man for overy Indian that bit the dust, and wero entirely cut off from their supplies, having ncitbor food, clothing nor medical attendance. General Howard is primarily ro- ponsible for the sacrifice of those men. The soldiors who bad won laurels on noblor fields only to lay them down on tho prairies in a vain contest with sav aires wero lost because we bad not a Genoral in Howard's placo. It was on Wednesday that Gibbon's forces at tacked tbe main body ot tbe Indians. Howard, with the main body of tho pursuing forco, was so far in tho roar that ho bad not hoard ol t no baitio when a courier lelt on Friday. Gon. Howard must answer for . moving in this Btrngizling way. Then General Gibbon must rendcron account for tho foolhardiness which led him to risk tho attack that ho did with reinforce ments almost two days march in the rear, assailing a force quite as great as his own in a camp with natural de fenses and on a battlo-ground chosen by the enemy. The whole sad affair is only another of the many lessons that wo havo learnod with stripes ana soros, that Indiana must bo fought in their own way. Tboy do not attack by rulo nor detenu in accordance who Upton. In short, ono ought to move atvinst them not with gold lace and epaulets, hut with buckskin and moo (asms, wo must ngnv inuiana wiin Indian fiirhtors. A trapper is worth all the Generals that West Point ever turned out to plan tho campaign, and one trontiersman is worth a aosen rog ulars, bravo as thoy are, to carry it out. How many more precious lives must bo lost beloro this lesson Is lairiy learnod ? GEOGRAPHY VF TURKEY. Tho contest between Russia and Tur key will naturally attract somo.attcn tlon to tho aeot of war. ror those who have no access to largor works of ro- ferenco we irive tho following abstract ol the iroography oi i urkoy : Tbo nrovinco of Turkey as repre sented on tbo map of Europe in onr school geography ombraccs a lorniory v ntr on bol t Bides oi mo jranuue. All that Part, however, north of tho Danubo. and bounded by Austria, Rus sia, and tho Black Sea, is caiioa itou mania. 1 bo name is aerivoa irom tuo lansuatro spokon, which was original ly tho Roman or Latin, as we shall soe berealtor. Tho population is of a mixed charac ter, consisting of Jews, Roman Catho lics, Armenians and Protestants. Tho mass ot tho pooplo, however, are mem bers of the Greek church. There aro only about 1,300 Mohammedans in the principality. Tbo entire population is about 5,0UO,0O0. Roumania includes the Docia of Ro man history. Hero tho legions of Tro- jan fought, and when bo had destroy ed the native pnpuiauun, am ie nam w have peopled tho country with colore ists from tbd wholo of the Roman em pire. Hence the character of the lan guago. After tbe Romans bad bold sway for somewhat loss than two hun dred yoars they were expelled by the Goths. Hubaeqnently ntnsr harbsmns PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN. tribos invaded the country, until at last, tho Turks, having captured Con stantinople in 1454, acquired a nominal title, though under its own Christian rulers. Atprcsont Roumania enjoys all the rights of sovereignty, can nego tiate treaties ot commorce and peace. She makes, however, an annual con tribution to tho porto. The cbiof ruler is styled princo regent and inherits his title. Liberty of conscience, and free dom of press and of public meetings are guaranteed tbe people. Tho legis lative branch of tuo government is elected, and consists of two houses. Roumania possosses railroads, lines ot telegraph, a postofllce department, schools and nnivorsitios. Education is obligatory for both sexes. Tbo languago is of a mixed charac ter. This is a noeossary consequence of its history. All tho races nearly, which have found a homo on the soil have left some words. Tho Itoman al phabet is used and tho pronunciation resembles the Italian. South of the Dsnubo.cxtonding from where the Danube leavca tho Austrian frontier westward, with tho Morava river dividing it nearly in tho centre where it joins tho Danubo, lios the principality of Sorvia. I's civil ad ministration is modeled altor that of Austria. Evory Sorb is a soldier. Tho Turks bold tho fortress of Belgrade and several other points. The Servi ans belong to tho Slitvio race, and thus in religion and nationalities aro in sym pathy with Kussia. Tbo languago is more liko the Russian than the Polish ; these, with tho Bohemian and tho Ser vian being tho four great divisions ol the Slavio language. Tho population is a little over a million. Tho third principality is that of Mon tenegro, to tuo soulhwost of Sorvia and nearly midway on tho west frontier of Turkey. The inhabitants aro oi mo Sorvian race and members of tho Greek church. Theso aro.under special obli gations to Russia, receiving an annual pension for hnrrassing the Turks. Tho population is somewhat over a hun dred thousand. But what thoy lack in numbers they make up in their temper and the naturo of their mount ain homo. Twenty-five thousand men can bo sent into tho field at short no tice. But tho rest of tho territory known in our geographies is by no means uni tod. Wost of Sorvia and north of tho fiorco Montenegrins is Hosnia, whoso inhabitants consist of Bosnians, Croats, Morlaks, Illyians, Jews, Gypsies, ko. Theso with tbe oxception of the last four aro also of tho Slavic race. And then, south of tho Danube, from Servia to tho Black Sea, enclosed on tho south by tho Balkan mountains, aro tho Bui carians. These number about two and a quarter millions and belong to the Slavio raco, and aro members of the Grook church. Sophia is on impor tant city. South ol tho Balkan mount ains lies Macedonia, a part of tho old empire of Aloxandor, whoso inhabitants aro doacenuanis oi tuo oiu urocks. Thus we soo thai the present conflict nvolvoB in it throo races. Tboro is the Russia or Slavio, tho Greek and the Turkish. And tho religious aspect is no loss interesting, for thrco diner ont forms ol faith aro struggling tor mastery tbe Greek church, a lineal descendant of those to whom St. Taul wrote his epistles, and among whom he preached ; the sister church of tho West, one with bor in boroarlior litur gies and lormularios ; and lastly mo Mohammedan. It is itnpossibio lo say how this thing is going to end. It may be in the extension of tho king- domof Greoce northward totho Danubo, with Constantinople for his capital. The riso of modern Greoco is a won dorful fact in tho history of modern Eu rope, and may yot assume an import ance altogether nnlooktd for.

In tho ranks a majority aro moro or less roggod, and tho bnttalions In their ranks do not troublo themselves mncn with being in exact lino or keeping any particular position, although no army drill could secure moro absoluto obedi ence to any order. Life at tho head- quarters of tho Princo of Montenegro is an Homeric study. " non in tne morning tho princo appears, a lino is formed instantly, and all uncover when ho takes his wulk np and down tho terrace. As bo walks along tho lino, now and then a man runs forward, catches tho hand of tho Prince, and kisses it, dropping back into his placo and then another and another, tho ruler accepting tho bomngo with a manner which has a great luscmntion for tho simple-mindod folks with a smilo, a word of interest, in somo cases a question as to thoir affuirs ; for ho knows, it is said, every lioad ol aianmy his dominions personally and by namo. and occasionally tireuus ins promenado to enter into conversation moro seriously, or oven to provoke a gonornl discussion, whon a circlo rap idly forms around him to listen and take part. There is nothing seivile in their mannor even to him, but the most unbounded reverence and devotion. It is a favorito amusement of his to wuko un the emulation of tho men by talk ing to some ono of them of some heroic deed bo has done, and provoking com parisons, when a content of pretensions to equal or greater morit begins, overy man considering himself entitled to push his claims, which be does in no vainglorious way, but by recounting what he has done. As they aro sur rounded by witnesses of tho deeds, no man dares to exaggernto his exploits, and tho crowd confirms. Theso aro tbe warriors who aro now renewing in Western Turkey tho batllo which they have waged with tho Turks for lour centuries. PON COSSACK IN THE FIELD. Tho most picturesqito figure in tho Russian army is me Don tossack, wiin hia lour black Innco and his devil-may- care face. A correspondent of tho London Arirs dcseribcB htm as a practi cal philosopher of a manly, self-reliant and half-cynical type. The Cossack ride through Bucharest fellowB who never saw a town in their lives before as if it wero thoir aftornoon custom to make a promenado on its asphalt thoy are always civil, although punctil ous in the perlbrmaneo of their duty and they keep sober when billeted in a nnhlio bouso with money in thei pockets and a score of civilians around thorn eairor to stand treat. While rid inir between Bucharest and OltenitEa. this correapondent mot a pair of these warriors Jogging aiong wiin mat pecu liarlv rook less, free-and-easy air whicli seoms tho universal characteristic of the Cossack. They must havo betn wot to the skin ; they were uncom monly muddy thoy probably had slept nn the field; ft was a faint REPUBLICAN, chaneo that lor hours together thoy should seo any ono to whom thoy could mako themselves intelligible ; thoy could not tell tbo namo of the placo whither thoy were bound, nor tbe army corps to which they belonged ; they wero, in short, tho merest waifs and strays on tho great Wallachian plain, and J et they cocked their caps and cracked thoir whips, and swag gered generally with as much aplomb us if they owned half of Wallacbia. Further on a troop of Cossacks was in bivouac in a field closo to tho road. Tho rain had drowned out tho fire, and tho ground was knec-docp in mud ; but tiio Cossacks wero not dispirited by their nngonial conditiou. With somo straw and somo brunches tboy had thrown up shelters against tho wind, and in tho leo of these thoy squatted on stones, singing lustily to tho accompaniment lurnishod by one ol their number, who whistled more shrilly than any London street Arab. Several lay stretched in slumber in te mud, with the ruin streaming down upon them. COSSACKS AND ROUMANIAN LADIES. When the first troop ot Cossacks rode through Bucharest the liounianion ladies were very anxious to soe them, and tho long avenue was lined with carrioges. A column of dust arose, thickening and drawing neater. A cry ot delight and Impatience passed all along Indies eagerly Btooa np, favored gentlemen climbed upon the coach box and tho wheels. Tho col umn of dust approached, and presently tbo Cossack lances pierced it, glittering in tho sun. Dark and colorless masses loomed through it, and strango but stirring music was in tho air. Not a sound was heard, oven while they passed, except that . martial war song ot tho bards who beard each sotnia and tho shrill accompaniment of the whis tles modulated to wiord harmony. No rattle of aceountremonts bctinys the CossackB ; his very horse seems trained to movo with eilent activity. With that peun in one's cars, and the whis tles screaming through it, one beholds without astonishment these warriors glido past, stealthily and swill. One recognizes tho surviving race of an early timo. To the same war song, perhaps, marebod tbo ancestors of these people when tboy over ran Huseia Tho Bucharest ladies were not a littlo frightened. Thoy looked at each other blankly, with little shrugs of tho shoul der to exprcBB distasto. One of them afterward confessed to tbo Standard correspondent, whodoscribes tho sceno, that berMuseovito sympathies vanish ed, at sight of tho first Cossack, so ugly and dirty was ho. SELIAXG WHEA T. The question agitating tho farmer in this Statu seoms to be lormulatcd in "Shall we sell our wheat now ?" This question is daily asked but seldom an swered. Column's Rural World pre sumes to reply to tho farmer asking tho question by saying that, of courso, there aro two sides in the discussion of this, as there aro to most questions. That there will bo a great fulling off n the production ot wbcat in the best wheat growing regions of Europe, all of us know. Great Britain is a largo purchaser of wheat. Sho nover pro- uecs anywhere near tho amount her peoplo consume. Sho has in past years obtained ber chief supplies of wheat tram Turkey and southern Russia. 01 courso bIio cannot obtain a bushel from that section this year. It is a know. edgo of this fact that has kept up our flour to its high prieo, and It will re main at a comparatively high price as long as tho war continues. But if; the war stops, there will be a big do clino immediately, notwithstanding no wheat can bo obtained Irom 1 urkoy or southern Russia tho present year, li ut with peace will come tho largost efforts to produce crops to mako up for tho heavy losses of the war. (teat Ilnlain must rely cineny upon Amorica for hor wheat supply this year, and wo havo an abundance for ourselves and lor mat country also. Calilornia is tho only Mute in wluea there is a crop ; all of tho other Slates aro blessed with more than avorago crops, and they have been harvested n safety, too yield in jtnnnesoia is said to be wouderlul, and although It is spring wheat, it makes tho whitest flour and is In groat demand in tbo east. It is always sufo to sell an nrtielo whon ready for market. Much more is lost by waiting for bettor prieoa than is gained, niuo timos out of ton. It is a speculating process to bold long er. Let others spcculutu. farmers aro poor bands at that business. They need tho money to pay off their dobts, to improve their farms and homes and stock. If out of debt, they want hot ter breeds of domestic animals, lor thoy are moro profitable. Tboy need tho money to educate their sons and daugh ters. Our advice is to sell wbcat as soon as it can bo got lo market. COSSACK AXD BASIllBAZOUK. A largo portion of tho fighting that has taken placo in tho East up lo the present timo has been between tbo irregulars of both armies. The Cos- sucks, though regular in tho sense that they are formullv enlisted and formed into battalions, are too unused to tho restraints of discipline lo lonn compact cavalry. They aro now pretty mucn what they were in napoleon s time, rough-riding, audacious foragers, scour ing tho country, and relying on indi vidual force thitnon disciplined momen tum. They are thus admiraiilo to over run a district, lo forego, or to mako daring rcconnoitsanccs ; 'but they can never bo relied upon for the steady hammering of an obstinalo battle. Tho CossackB did well in crossing the Bal kans, but they did not stand well in the Unlit. They appear to havo allowed themselves to ho beaten by an inferior forco ol Turks, and driven back Into the passes of tho Balkans. The Cir cassians anil til 01V urns, wuo co-operate witli tho Turks, aro troops of protly much tho same character. They bavo caused tbo failure ef tbo Russian cam paign in Armenia by harrassing its rear. Tho Bashi-Biisouks aro butter. They, ore better disciplined, and accus tomed to obey their olllcers j but thoy are of revolting cruelly and brutality. This fact ttlono prevent their highest elflcicncy as soldiors. Tho forbearance ot civilised soldiers toward thoso who are al thoir mercy is ono of their sources of strength. Kindness to a conquered foe is ollen tlic soundest military policy. Tho Bashi-uasotika as a class aralaiai lata, fanatical in their religion, and bo- lievo that death in battle transports them to tbe sensual paradise that is so Bwcct to tbo Oriental imagination. No inference ol cowardice or fear ia to be drawn from the fact that the Turks have not ) ct faced tho Russian in bat tle. All tho fulling back that they have dono thus fur has been dono in obedience to orders. When the battle comes it will bo stubbornly disputed. WHAT WILL HE DO WITIt IT1 Ho is home again llio college grad uate, the horo of his littlo circlo, tho tyrant of his home realm. His frionds pay him homage, his sistora are proud to be ordered around by him, and bis little brothors take it as a mark ot af fectionate condescension when ho culls them about tho ears. For evorybody knows he doesn't mean any harm, only he has boon roughing it al college running, jumping, rowing, swinging tho clubs and toying with heavy weights and ho can't u expected lo lay it all aside in a day. No wondor that his intimates feel their own im- fiorlonce inoreasod when a college man ords it over them, for he ia likely to bavo a good deal of tho man about him, likely to be a "noble fellow," and his onslaughts on tbe youngsters, and his sly prods at tho old folks are accepted as just so many patents of nobility be stowed by one who has s right t award them as he pluasos. This lasts while the novelty lasts. By and by tho home folks begin to think of somo return, some practical result of all this oollcgo expenditure, which has proba bly boon tho occasion of much close family financiering. The graduate has got his diploma and perhaps bis degree what will he do with it f Ho has bad exceptional advantages ; he ought to be an exceptionally usolul man. But will be be ? That depends dononds upon bis college training, depends up on himscll, depends upon hie advisors. He is likely to think it depends upon luck. Ho feels himself ovory inch a man, physically and mentally. If he has ranked high among the college athlotos, pulled a strong oar, run with tho swiftest and vaulted with the high est; if be has stood well in this class, won honorable mention in that, and a medal in another, he will feel himself all tho moro a man. If he rate these things at their real value, as only evi dences of what pluck aud determina tion may accomplish in tho great world, bo is all the butler prepared for tho rough and tumblo scramble which awaits him. If bo looks upon'his col lege victories nBthcsuro forerunners of; an ensy victory over tno worm, ne starts in the race heavily handicap- pod with an over stock ot oonhdonce and conooit,which will soriously impodo his progress. Before ho will amount to anything ho must havo thoso false notions jolted out ol bim by many lans. He will find hedges and ditches wbicb he can't clear on collogo record. He will bavo to get down oil his high horso and build bridges. Ho will find bills which he cannot soar over. He must climb wearily ovor thorn or cut them down. He must work.

This is a work ing, plodding world, where the stout est heart and the strongest arm and the busiest brain win what ia worth having.

Correcting somo misstatomonts con tained in a London lottor to a Cincin nati paper, tbe Now Orleans Democrat says : "Mr. Judah H. Benjamin was not born in San Domingo, but in ono of tho British West Indies, a fact which gave him tho position which enabled him to obtain admission to the bar of Eng land. Ho was an infant when his par ent emigrated to Charleston, 8. C, and bis name appears in the naturali sation papers of his father. It is true in goneral that Mr. Benjamin's income from bis professional labors was largo, but not largor than his eminent tal ents, wonderful industry, power of work, and versallity and solidity of talents merited. But it is not truo that in the Almaden quicksilver mine his fee amounted to (500,000. On tbe contrary, we believe that Mr. Ben jamin s share ot the compensation al lowed with several distinguished at torneys in that case was smaller than that of several others, and did not ex ceed f '20,000. The largest fee dorived from the case was that nf the late ll J. Walkor, which amounted to 1240, 000. Tbe late Louis Janie, also of our bar, roonived some (58,000 in the same case. Large fees were also paid to the lato Edwin M. Stanton, we think ; also to Jeremiah S. Black and Ed mund Randolph, formerly of our bar. Tbe case was ono of immense import ance, and involved many millions ot value, and the services of these emi nent jurists wore not ovorpaid. It is an interesting and sorrowful fact that the lato R. J. Walker, with all his groat ability as a jurist and a financier, lost overy dollar of this largo fee by investing the wholo amount in Sir Morton Pcto's grand railroad swindle and left his family in poverty. Mr. Bemamin was alike unlortunnlo or im provident in his investment of bis large professional revenues.

GLAZED FLOWER POTS FOR HOUSE-PLANTS. A writer in a contemporary maga- sine, says that she has grown bouso plants tor twenty yoars in glased pots, and found them to thrive belter than plants do in the porous, unclosed pots, No doubt she is correct, if the atmos phere in which the plants are placed ' j -i ,i , i : is as ary as mat usuuuy iouiiu iu sit ting rooms. The glazed surface will prevent the dry air Irom penetrating to tbe soil, much boiler man wouiu tne usual porous pot that we florists, who grow our plants in the green-houses, find indispensable. There we have an atmosphere charged with moisture, which would soon bo destructive to the plants, if grown in glazod pots, or such as were not porous. For the same reason, wooden boxes, or wooden flower pot, are bettor suited for plants Srown in tho dry atmosphere of an or inary dwelling, than the pot usually used by florist. Of course, in any caso, caro must bo used never to water a plant until it it dry, and then water freely. Tho " Adjustable Plant-Box," described in the May number of tbe American Agriculturist, would seem to bo just tho thing required lor nearly all kinds of plants of medium size. Tho wooden sides will resist the dry air ot sitline room, just as effectually as tho dazed, or painted, pottery ware will, and at the same time tho means of rainage from ovcr-w,atoring will be far bettor. Wo find (in correspondence with our customers) ono great hin drance to growing flowers in rooms, particularly in the South and south western States, is the difficulty in pro curing suitable vessels to plant them in. This new flower-box, if it can bo sold at a reasonable price, will bo certain to have a largo sale, for its lightness, com pared with the clay pots of tho same capacity, will enable it to be shipped at one-fourth the cost, and also with pcfect safety from the brookago, which is anotborsorionsdetrimont in tho trans portation of tho oarthen-wnre flower pot Peter Henderson, in Amm'tYM Agriculturitt Jor Avgusi.
