Correspondence of the X. Y. Post.
CiNCi.N.NATt, July 2", 180:5.
Since Mnndiiy lust tliere have nrrived lit
this )ort soiiiu twenty stemmrs Itnlcn with
the rebel prisoners from the guerilla Mor
gan's conitntinil and their spoils, together
with the trophies which wc have taken.
On Monday aeventy-two officers nrrived, in
cluding four colonels, one lieutenant colonel
two majors, seven surgeons, seventeen cap
tains, thirty-eight lieutenants, one chaplain
And two surgeons. These ure now in con
finement in the city prison. Kight hundred
and sixty non-conunissioticd ollicers nud
privates left the same night for the Camp
Morton prison at Indianapolis. On Thurs
day the Hertha utrived from Uullington Is
land with two hundred more, including six
captains, eleven lieutenants and one surgeon.
Tho ollicers were taken to the city prison
and the men to Camp Morton. !Six steam
ers arrived on Friday evening from Seven
Mile l'tin with one thousand and eighty-one
more prisoners, captured hy Gen. Jitdah's
and Colonel Shack leford's command, who
were sent to Camp Chose immediately upon
their urrival. Three hundred and fifty-two
more nrrived this morning, to be sent to
Camp Morton.
I visited the city prison yesterday for the
purpose of seeing and having a conversation
with the rebel ollicers eon lined there. At
the door, on the roof, and till around the
building a heavy guard was placed, on ac
count of the dilapidated state of the build
ing. A group of women, whose accent
lietrnycd their southern origin, were clamor
ing with the otliccr of the guard for admit
tance to see the persecuted 'southern gentle
men,'' but General liuinside had wisely
issued an order that no person should be
admitted save 'the press." So ihc indig
nant females had to return no wiser than
they came. The rebel ollicers ate well cared
fur. ami have the same rations as our troops
and arc allowed to receive what clothing
is nece-sary for their comfort from their
friends.
The ollicers are mostly from Kentucky
and Tennessee, and many of them are well
educated and intelligent nictv, much more
so even than I had expected to See. 1'ut
few Confederate uniforms were visible
among the ollicers. The men were dressed
in all sorts nt co-tunics, the butternut and '
Kentucky jeans being prominent. Some
had straw hats, some wool hats ami but few I
had decent clothing of any kind. They !
were a mot ley and dirty looking a set of!
men as I ever saw. Tin; Fort Dotielson
prisoni rs were neat and tidy compared with
these. They were of all ages, from the j
! aidless boy ol sixteen to the giayheaded '
man of Ihieescore uud ten, for two were '
there over seventy years of age. There were
a number of Texaus among them, w ild am! i
uncouth look'ng men. apparently well lilted j
for the business in which they had been en
gaged that of robbers and marauders.
Among the ollicers at the city prison were '
Colonels Jlasil Duke ami Dick Morgan, a
brother of .loli n Charlton Morgan, a lieu-
tenant and another brother, is also contiucd j
in the same ward. The surgeons have been .
paroled, and we understand they arc at the
Spencer House awaiting the orders of the j
government. The remainder of the ollicers ;
will probably leave to-day or to-morrow lor j
Johnson's Island prison, near Toledo.
I'resenting my pass to the ollieer iu charge '
of the prisoners I was shown into the ollice j
of the city prison and requested wait until j
the rcla l ollicers of note were brought down '
About ten minutes elapsed, when the door !
opened and two men of youthful appearance j
entered, accompanied by a Major of the :
I'nited States cavalry and an infantry otli- J
cer, tlie latter of w hom was lirst introduced.
COLON 1.1. KAMI. PI KK. I
The appearance of this rebel ollieer was,
rather prepossessing than otherwise, lie is
of small stature, weighing scarcely H) lbs., I
well built, erect, with lingular lent ures, dark
hair brushed carelessly aside, sparkling and
lienctruting eves of the same color a low
forehead, mousta.h and giyitcc. lie has a j
sweet, musical voice, a pleasant smile con-
tinually on his face and is very free and cor-
tual in ins manner. 1 here is nothing com- i
manding in his appearance, though lie has
been termed by some the "brains of the ,
raid."' He is reputed brave, and not cow- I
ardly, like John Morgan. Your correspon
dent recollects him is a commipion mer
chant in St. Louis, a few years since, at
which place lie is well known, us ulso in
this city, and when in business was spoken
of as an intelligent and good business man.
His birth-place is Georgetown, Scott county,
Ky., and we tint'., on reference to the cata
logue of Yale College for 1811, the name
of Jlasil Duke, of Kentucky, of Kentucky,
llrigadier-Gcneral Carrington and Captain
Harrington, United Slates Army ; Ihigadier
Generals Taylor, Conner, Urickel and Shor
ter, of the rebel army ; Colonel Conner, of
Mississippi, uud Colonel Dixon, of South
Carolina, in the same class, all of w hom, we
believe, graduated iu 1845. Iu January lust
Colonel Duke was wounded ut Springlield,
Ky., iu a skirmish with tho Seventh Ken
tucky (Union) Cavalry, und came near be
ing captured, but by some means escaped
from our forces, under cover of tho night,
in a carriage. He informed me, during the
short conversation I had with him, that he
had no doubt but that Morgan would cscae
but that he thought he would not under
take another raid into the border states, but
would cou tine himself to Kentucky hereafter.
He said the uieu were very much fatigued j
that they usually rested off their horse from
three to four hours each night, aud slept in
their saddles, being accustomed to hitrdship
but that this was the hardest raid they hud
ever attempted, and they had anticipated
crossing just above Cincinnati, but that
llurnside had out-generated them. He seem
ed very w illing to couverse, and was appa
rently in very good spirit, considering he
was a prisoner. He was dressed in plain
blue jean pauli, 'without coat or vest (hav
ing laid them aside), and had on a line linen
shirt. There were no murk of rank about
him when taken.
TUK UKOTUtn or JOUS MOBOAN.
In an armchair to the right of me, during
my conversation with Basil Duke, sat a medium-sized
well-built young man, with dark
hair, smooth luce, w itb rather a stern cast of
countenunce, apparently about thirty year
of age. He was introduced to nie a Colonel
Dick Morgun, brother of tho "ubkiuitou"
John. He ha rather a pleasant blue eye,
and is of phlegmatic temperament. He wa
dressed in the gray punts und close buttoned
roundabout ol ' the Confederate army, wit i
no insignin vf rank, save n single gilt star on
his black felt hat, w hich he was continually
twisting in his hnnd. U first ho was very
tnctiturn, but gradually wanned up and be
came ai ore communicative. He told me
that4ast fall he was on the staff of General
A. P. Hill, in Virginia, but that lie was
ordered west, to his native state, to did his
brother in the present raid, which had been
talked of for a long time previous to its con
summation. He said, had they been suc
cessful in this raid a much larger force was
to follow ; for it was the design of the Con
federate leaders to organir.e a scries of raids,
and carry the war into our midst. He firm
ly believed, he said, that we would have to
acknowledge the Southern Confederacy, for
they all would light until the last man of
them was killed, and if their cause was
hopeless they would sink with it. lint there
seemed to be but little sincerity in the tone
of Colonel Dick's conversation, for evident
ly he did not believe what he stated; for
he admitted afterw ard evident'- lorgctting
himself that 'the cause of the Souili was
hopeless. He is not the gentleman in np
pearance that Colonel Duke is, and is evi
dently not so much of a favorite with the
other officers.
Lieutenant Carlton Morgun, another bro
ther, was afterwards introduced. He is a
taller man than Colonel Dick Morgan, and
not so fleshy. He bears considerable re
semblance to John. He is- of fair com
plexion, sandy hair und light blue eyes, und
is rather of a' jovial disposition, lie, also
was dressed in the "gray rebel uniform,"
with gold lace on the collar, unci wore an
immense sombrero of wool, looped up at the
side. After a conversation of ubotit half an
hour with the leaders we accompanied them
upstairs to their quarters, to see the rest of
the prisoners. Upou entering we found
some sixty-eight men, mostly Tenncssceans
und Kentuckiatis huge, brawny men, most
of them, while not u few of a more lithesome
form, lying on I lankels, jumped up and
courteously greeted us, evincing iu their
manner good birth und education. They
were dressed in nil styles of costumes, but
few Confederate uniforms being worn, as
they were mostly clad in linen coats,
appropriated from the wardrobesof ( ihioaiis
or from clothing stores, the property of
w hich they confiscated. One huge six-looter
was clad iu a dressing- robe, and sported
a huge black sombrero, looped up at the
side w ith a plume of the same color. His
immense black whiskers, which reached
nearly to hi waist, und his heavy moustache,
gave iiim a brigandisli-looking appearance
as he strode in a theatrical manner around
the room, smoking n cigar. He wusu Texaji
captain of guerillas, having a decidedly cut
throat looking appearance.
.Many of the ollicers wore army pantaloons
and vests, which they had stolen, as they
said, the better to disguise them in their
Marauding expeditions. Among them was
a clergyman, the l!ev. T. D. Moore, a
personage id' the Methodist persuasion, w ho,
when interrogated by one of our parly why
he joined such an expedition, tried to justify
himself by saying that Morgan was only
retaliating for Grieison's raids in Mississippi,
and that he was acting only in accordance
with honorable warlare. Thu temperature
of the prison being about ninety degrees
Fahrenheit, 1 left, with a request from Dick
Morgan to call again, and to intercede with
General HurnsMe for a barrel of lager-beer
and a box of cigars, in w hich request the
aforesaid "bogus parson'' and the theatrical
Texan joined. The rebel ollicers seemed
to have plenty of "greenbacks," and any
amount of "blucbacks" or Confederate
notes.
I.ieutenant-Colonel Hoffman, who was
severely wounded in the affair at lliiHington
Island, commands a Texan regiment of
rangers. He has been removed to the Wash
ington Pink Hospital. Dick Morgan was
also slightly woxndcd in the same skirmish,
lia.-il Duke is brother-in law to General
Green Clay Smith, the Union candidate for
Congress, who represents the Covington
and Newport district of Kentucky. A
number of tho ollicers have families in
Covington aud Newport.

We tiud the following iu the Detroit
Fret I'lifH :
"A gentleman of this city, who was an
early friend of Geuerid Grant, furnishes the
following reminiscences of the brave general
who has so inseparably linked Ins name
with the victories of the w estern armies :
"General Grant is of a Methodist family
of Ohio, and married the daughter of a
Methodist local preacher, and the grand
daughter of the "pioneer of Methodism in
Western Pennsylvania, of the namo of
Wrenshall. Wheu not much over twelve
years of age hu wus ut school, und had as
a schoolfellow his own natural cousin, whose
parents were liritish subject ot Camilla.
Young Grant wus taught to forgive Injuries,
as a Divine precept, and to do good and
not evil to others, and his father had im
pressed hi mind with love of country and
reverence for the name of Wushiiigtou.
The Canadian had been otherwise educated,
aud believed Wushiiigtou a rebel. On one
occasion u discussion arose between tho
boys u to love of country and duty to a
king, w lien John said: "L. S., (Grant had
becu nicknamed U. S.,) your Wushiiigtou
was a rebel, aud fought uguinst his king.'
"Grant replied: 'Jack, you must slop
that or I'll flog you. I can forgive you for
obiising me, but if )ou abuse our Washing
ton I'll off coat anil right, though you are
cousin Jack, aud mother may lick me for
not forgiving.' The boys fought. Juck
got the worse of it, but 'V. S.' was ulut
being whipped at home for fighting, w hen
his father interposed and saved him, saying,
'The boy who will tight for Washington
will prove himself a uiun uud a Christian,
if God spures hi iu for twenty years.'
"Some few veura ago the boys, now
inungrown, met m Canada, and recurred to
school days. Jack suid : 'U. S. do you
remember the licking you gave inu for
calling Washington a rclicl V
"'Yea I do, and Juck I'll do it again
under like provocation. Washington i my
idol, and to me it is more insulting to spcuk
disrespectfully of Washington or my country
than to denounce myself. Mother's maxim
docs very well in private quarrels, but it
don't apply where one's country is denounc
ed, or it god. Washington ; first in the
American pantheon, aud I couldn't rest
easy if I permitted any abuse of hi name.'
"Such was and is 'Unconditional Surrvu
dcr Grant.' "
A letter bat been received at Wasbingtoa by a
brother of a dutioguUhed rebel officer and engineer

It ia ennstantly nrgncd by the copperhead
press, that with the destruction of slavery
will end tho production of largo crops of
cotton in the United States. Even the ad
vocates or emancipation are accustomed to
admit that the crop must be very small for
many years to come, und prices, consequent
ly, very high.
The writer predicts a rapid increase in the
annual crop from n date two years from the
end of the war. admitting that in the first
year or two after the war a very small crop
will be raised ; ond he also predicts that
within ten years larger crops thatwere ever
before produced in the United States will
be raised.
The argument is based upon the ascertain
ed facts in regard to the State of Texas.
Texas possesses the best cotton land in
the country; her capacity to produce cot
ton is estimated nt 20.000,000 bales. Her
climate is unequalled for health. Much the
largest part of her ngriculture is performed
by the whites; the cultivation of cotton,
however, being the most simple, requiring
no intelligence in the laborers w hen perform
ed on the plantation system by large gangs
under overseers, is almost entirely carried
on by slave labor.
Tho standard for nil able-bodied negro in
Texas is ten acres ol cotton and live of corn,
the latter producing sullicient food for him
self and family. The average product of
cotton per ncie is 4(10 pounds, giving ns the
saleable product of each field hand 4.000
pounds of cotton.
In 1800 the crop of cotton in' Texas was
405,100 bales of 400 pounds each, requiring
us many acres of land, or less than one quar
ter of one per cent, of the area of the state.
The rude labcr of a slave, with heavy, ill
adnpted tools, produced 4.000 pounds of
cotton per annum, which was worth in 18.VJ
and 1800, ten cents per pound, or $100.
Free and intelligent labor, Using light and
well-adapted tools, would double the pro
duct of the slave, provided extra assistance
could be procured in the picking season ;
but us this may not be, it is unsafe to esti
mate the product of a free laborer at over
0,000 pounds per annum.
It is not believed that the price of the
small crops ot cotton raised immediately
after the war will be less than 25 cents per
pound.
The first crops of the free laborer in Texas
w ill, therefore, bring him in a cash income
of iT,.-0U per annum, w ilh less hard labor
than is required to raise a crop of corn in
New England, and in u more healthy cli
mate. In 1850 the slave population of Texas was
58.101; in lfOO it was 18J,50tl. Per cent,
increase, 2i:!,801 00.
The surplus increase of Texas w as 1 10,774,
know ii to consist almost entirely of prime
lie'.d hands, worth on an average 500 each,
mostly placed upon the cotton fields, and
representing a capital of $55,:;s7.000.
Now, it a cash receipt of 400 per hand
has caused an emigration, by purchase, from
the slave-breeding slates, requiring the pay
ment of live und a half millions of dollars
each year, what will be the emigration
caused by a cash return of $1,500 per an
num upon emigrants representing in them
selves no invested capital, but needing only
the prospect of such a profit to induce tlieui
to move themselves f
Surely the prouucl of free labor must in
crease iu the next ten years in as rapid u
ratio as the product of slave labor has in
creased in the past ten years.
The increase in the crop of cotton in Texas
has been greater than the increase ofjj slaves.
1. liccutiso the profit lias already induced
its cultivation to tome extent by free labor;
2. liccatisc the building of railroads and
I other improvements in inland transportation
, has opened a large amount of cotton eoun-
fv; . '
j u. ljccnuscn large section which wus sup
! posed to be fit only for grazing is found to
. be cotton hind of the best kind.
The crop of cotton in Texas in 1850 was
j 58,072 bales ; in 1800 it was 405.100 bales,
i or seven times as much us in 1850.
I If free labor iu ten years from the end of
the war shall only develop the cotton land
! of Texas as rapidly as slave labor has done,
i her crop of cotton will be nearly a. 000.000
, bales, requiring for its cultivation less than
i two per cent, of her area.

I "Intelligence was received in this city
I yesterday afternoon that a young lady, high
j ly connectad, the daughter of a K. C. IS.,
i residing ut his mansion, alauit three miles
! on the other side of West bury, und w ho
has distinguished himself both in thu naval

j cutting" her ehroat. On Saturday morning,
j when considerable consternation was muni
j fcstly prevailing in the honorable knight's

directions for surgeons, and soon afterwards
I the lici'diboi liood was greatly agitated by
the statement that a young lady, one of Sir
J ' daughters, had been found w ith a
deep and dangerous wound in the throat.
Four of the most eminent surgeons iu the
locality were speedily in attendance, and it
is needles to say that in the emergency they
did all that science and skill could dictate.
It has since transpired that the unfortunate
young lady was engaged to be married to u
gentleman indeed that tho wedding day
had been fixed if indeed, the bridal trous
seau had not been prepared when the
match was abruptly and unexpectedly bro
ken olf. This had such an effect upon the
young lady's mind that she wus led to com
mit the rush act above referred to. She ha
lieen at tern led most kindly and affectionate
ly by her friends, and most ably by her u:
gieul attendant, and we are pleased to hear
that she i now progressing favorably. The
sad alfuir ha given rise to considerable gos

however, altogether so painful, several ru

The Melbourne correspondent of the Lou
don Times tells the following story : "Itc
turning to the township of a Victorian wa
tering place on a Sunday evening, after a
long stroll in the country, I heard coming
up behind me at a trot about thirty head of
cattle. I observed, as they approached, that
they were all milch cows, nnd that a sort of
gentleman in his shirt sleeves, and well
mounted, kept them together on tho one
side, and a woman, also on horseback, was
rounding them up on the other side. As
sl.e galloped after some errant animal, her
habit gracefully flying behind her, nnd her
sent (ns she jumped logs nnd little creeks)
safe nud assured from long practice, she
looked like Die Vernon turned useful ; and
nny one would have pronounced her a lady,
and an clegnnt lady too, had she not been
driving cattle, which, to my prejudiced eye
nither complicated her personul appearance
with a touch of Smitlitield. The whole
group swept by, and in a minute or so were
lost sight of iu the bush.
"Early on the next morning I was walk
ing through the little township before break
fasts when 1 saw a milk cart with tho most
modern style of shining tin pails in it stand
ing at a door, a man serving the milk, while
a woman sat in the cart handling the reins.
As they drove off I had a dim recollection
of having seen them before, but w here or
under what circumstances I could not cull
to mind. 1 described to my old Scotch
landlord what 1 have seen, as above describ
ed, and at once he told me what he nnd all
his neighbors evidently regarded as one of
the most romantic little stories of which the
neighborhood could boast. The puir of
equestrians in the bush aniLthc pair in the
milk cart were, it seems, one and the same
puir. When young and poor they hud mar
ried in England, despite the opposition of
friends. The gentleman had been in the
navv; the ladv had been delicately nurtur
ed. ' ' 0
"Soon after marriage they resoived to be
gin the world afresh. They nrrived in Vic
toria very poor. Mr. I) , the husband,
nearly related to a noble family in England,
nevertheless, with honorable strength of w ill
worked hard w ith his hands, and his deli
cate young wife was a devoted nnd self-denying
partner in his hurdships. He put by
a little money, and bought u few head of
stock. And now Mr. D. declares that he is
as happy as the day is long, and that he
would not exchange his position for the
command of the bc.-t ship in her Majesty's
navy. They have three children, pronounc
ed to be wonders of pretty behavior and
good training ; nud thefather and mother
tsay tho gossips), after nine years of married
life, 'speak to each other more like lovers
than like man and wife. Together they
round up the cattle of an evening, and to
gether they serve the milk in the morning.
In the evening after the 'kye' are in, she so
laces herself and little circle with the piano,
and gives an hour or so to the education of
her little ones. Put it is said that she is not
altogether us contented as her lord. 'Why ('
said I, deeply interested in this little ro
mance of real life. After many questions
ami many answer, here is the out come of
the cross-examination of various witness.
At the bottom of all the lady's rural felicity
is a something w hich poisons it somew hat
human pride. She is often addressed as a

is not a common milkwoman, and she
shrinks from the vulgar but extremely na

It cannot bo too earnestly piessed upon
public attention that the need of men in the
Union armies is present und urgent that
the Kcbcllion, now reeling under the stag
gering blows it has recently received, wants
time to recover its breuth and that what
ever tends lo give it a respite from the vic
torious progress of our arms tends to pro
long the struggle indefinitely, exhaust the
National resources, nnd very possibly iusure
the triumph of Disunion.
Delay is the great peril of the National
cause. It involves the chalice of foreign
intervention in behalf of the rebels ou the
one side und of Northern Pro-Sluvery inter
ference in their interest ou the other. The
former we have been accustomed to regard
with little apprehension ; the latter is a real
danger. Thus a Unionist w rote on thu 2 2d
ult., from our army, then hcicging Vieks
burg, to "The Sf Louis Democrat,'' as fol
lows :
"1 1 spoke witli one of our prisoners, who
was formerly a merchant in some interior
tow n in Georgia. I uskcdhiin if he earnest
ly expected the South to maintain her posi
tion and conquer a recognition ? 'No,' he
replied, "I do not ; but we will prolong the
w ar until after the next Presidential elec
tion, which will result iu the triumph of the
Pro-slavery party of the North, and then a
recognition of our rights will speedily fol
low.' I tried tu convince him that there
wus no 'Pro-S!uvery party in the North'
that the men who would favor recognition
formed a small class, not worthy the name
of a political party, lint he w ould not le
lieve it. He firmly Itelieved that in the
'Pro-Slavery party in the North' tho South
would find her deliverer that the North
was hopelessly divided that our soldiery
were dissatisfied w ith the conduct of the
war 'and all that wus necessary was to
prolong the struggle until their friends in
thu North could come into power.' And ho
represented us he suid, the views of the en
tire South."

patriot can w iu to do so. Thu people of
this country luivu long enjoyed great bless
ings, and they arc now culled to prove
themselves worthy of them and resolved to
to transmit them unimpaired to their chil

The following is from a letter written by
an ollieer iu the regular military service,
now iu the field under General Mendc. lie
lie is a descendant of one of the most dis
tinguished of the founders of the republic :
"Dear : You see by the above that
we have crossed the Rubicon for the third
time in my experience, and Heaven grant
that it may be the last, for I am in hopes
that this campaigne will give thu finishing
stroke to the rebellion, and add a new vic
tory to the glorious succession that lets
marked this memorable month of July, 1800.
"We were alarmed by rumors
which were circulated in the army to the
effect that the Administration had stopped
the conscription on hearing of the opposi
tion iu New York. This cannot be true, ns
such a measure would be the proof of weak
ness that w ould soon result in the overthrow
of not only the Administration but of the
government it represents.
"I think by tho time wo have come down
to the cold, culm view of the issues nt stak
uncolored by excitement or the glorious ro
mouco of success that we all dreamed of
when the war first broke out.
"The war has become n sort of a monoto
nous background to the life of the people at
home, and ils existence is only brought to
their minds by tho few wounded soldiers,
the military accoutrements in the shop win
dows, and the big letters in the newspapers.
At first it was a splendid vision ot glory
and conquest ; nnd now a long, deadening
tax on their patience nnd pockets. It was
nn excitement which tho politicians laid
hold of, like that of the Japanese, or the
Prince of Wales. It was n novel sensation
to find a spark of real patriotism in his sel
fish breast rather pleasant than otherwise.
He attended meetings, ond voted resolu
tions ; hung out a huge piece of bunting,
and declared his intention of standing by
the constitution ot his forefathers. Of course
it was not necessary to go and fight his
neighbor could do that, und he was not
needed ; and with a compound of false
patriotism and genuine selfishness he await
ed the result.
"Put the result was very far off, and the
excitement waned gradually away thou
sands of brave fellows went to their long
account, ond their places must be filled
tilled by a draft ; ami then the situation is
changed. Every one is liable to go, ond
the wheel of the provost marshal, stern and
inexorable ns the wheel of Fate, may roll to
every man's fireside und take him away ;
nnd then the politician comes out in his
true colors, and says : 'The people arc their
own rulers : the draft is unconstitutional,
the peole carry on the war or not, just as
they please.' I have sometimes felt like
saying, O l for a Napoleon, a Frederic, or n
Cromwell! a man stern and strong even
unprincipled, if necessary but still a tyrant
for we have come to that pass.
"We have conic tu that terrible reality,
that we must fight for our mime und nntiuu
atity, as the stern old Netherlander fought
the good tight, until the canals ran witli red
Dutch blood, which cemented the founda
tion of a free, brave, uncomproiuised peo
ple. "We must learn that the man who shoul
ders his musket is not doing favor to the
country, as the volunteer seem to thiuk
but drying a riyltt which the government
has, to sacrifice every drop of American
blood, if necessary, and then call for the
women when the husbands ure dead. ve
must learn that other nations have done it
before, in a far less glorious cause, nnd that
the conscript is more the soldier in every
sense of the word than the bravest volunteer
that ever drew breath.
I "I should like to have had a regiment of
j drafted meu, for with proper treatment, uud
good organization, they can bo brought on

Tho Charleston Courier says : The bom
bardment on Saturday which lasted from

Tho thunder of their guns the booming of

impossible for any work put up of mortal

such an crdeal. Put God bo praised, it did
so. Four men killed und fourteen wound

Steam ri.oci'.iiiNo is E.noi.asd. Mr.
Evelyn Dcnison, the Speaker of the liritish
House of Commons, has lately tried a steam
plough on some tough clay-lands, and writes
an enthusiastic account of the results to
General Peel. "The event most interesting
to farmers that has occurred lately, he write
"especially to farmers cultivating strong
clay lands, is the proved success of steam
cultivation.
It happened this spring that a fine farm of
between six hundred and seven hundred
acres of clay land came into my hands, in a
very bad state from a slovenly tenant. It
seemed to me the time was come to call in
the aid of steam. I adopted the machine of
Mr. Smith of Woolston. During the dry
weather of the month of May, when the
land was baked as hard as a brick, and
wncn no implement moved by horses could
make any impression, my ten horse-power
steam-engine began its work, smashing and
breaking up the land in a manner that was
quite surprising. The farmers of the neigh
borhood came to look on, and there was
not a dissentient voice; every one said,
'This is what we want ; this is'the way to
fallow clay land.' "
He relates that the first cost of his ma
chinery was $2,500. Where the ground is
very hard 1 lie cost (independently of inte
rest on outlay) the first time over is twelve
cents, the second six cents per acre. And
the work is so superior to work done by
horses that many farmers said they would
rather pay il 10s. per acre to have their
land so broken up.

pores of the egg-shell be kept closed, the
contents must be preserved intact, as no
change can occur, and the subject is to close
this atmospheric connection in the cheapest
and simplest manner. Any kind of varnish
will answer the purpose in one sense, but
will defeat it in another; as eggs, being par
ticularly affected by strong scents, would
lose their delicate fl avor bv the od ir of the
coating. A better plan would be to employ
beef suet or mutton tallow, provided the
egg can be kept in a cool place. The eggs
should be dipped in the fat nud afterward
w iped off, us any excess of grease over that
required to fill the pores, would become ran

and placed in a box filled with bran und
tightly covered up. If the egg is laid on
its side, the yolk will adhere to the shell.
Charcoal finely pulverized is a good substi
