Troops.
The correspondents of tbe Cincinnati Com-
tucrciul aud Gazette, writing from Sherman'
army, gives very full account of tbe opera
tions in Georgia, The following incidents
arc interesting :

resist it was at once commenced. Joe
Hooker s gallant Potomac veterans were se

the line and commenced moving to - the left
of Stanley, whose flank was covered by Mc-
Cook's cavalry, in front of which Johnston

of
Joe Hooker, and may it never forget Robin
son's brave brigade, w hose gallautry to uight
is on every tongue.
THE FIGHT RESUMED ON SUNDAY.
"At half-past seven Sundav morninrr our
skirmishers opened tire upon the rebel line,
which was as vigorously returned upon the
left and left centre. The enemv. however.
id not seem disposed to attack with their
uiain line, after the fearful slaughter and re
pulse that Hooker administered to them last
night. It was not until nine or ten o'clock
iu tho morning that the Twentieth Corps
arrived from tho right, and got into posi-
tion on Stanley's left. As our line was
nearly fourteen mile loua. these neccssarv
changes occupied nearly the entire moruing,
so that mid-day arrived ere we were ready
to iiiiiKo tno
ASKibU Oa THE ENEMY'S WORKS.
"Hooker threw forward Butter field's divi
sion against the enemy's strongest position,
supported by William's and Ueary's divi
sions, and the battle opened vigorously on
both sides. Hooker fought for three or
four hours and made steady headway, car
rying line alter line of riHc-pits, until But-
J llln ' mill 11 lie Ui rillU-UllB, Ulltll UUl-
tcrueld's division encountered a lunette of
formidable size. Several attempts wai
made to carry it and capture its four guns,
which were pouring destructive fire into
our lines, but the attempt was futile. The
troops fought with great desperation, but as
often as they advanced upon the lunette the
terrific volleys of musketry from the enemy
in the fortification burled them hack in con
fusion. At last Butterfiuld charged forward
and took position uuder the protecting
h. . with
v the men's"
works oi tne lort, aosclose to the
iu that the; could be touched
hands. In the effort to gaiu thia unexposed
position, the contest was bloody one,
Geary's division supporting ButterfieliL
Ward' brigade, which wero participating
in their first battle, fought with marked de
termination, aud contributed much to secure
the position.
HOOKER CARRIES THE LUNETTE BY
STRATEGY.
"After vain efforts to capture the lunette
from w hich the enemy poured into our ranks
grape, canister and shrapnel, Hooker's forces
gave up the uueiiual coutest, and during the
balanceof the day lay uuder tbe breastworks
protuctcd from tbe enemy's file, and picking
otf every rebel who howed himself aUive
the works. Darkuea found him in this
position, and be at once matured ptun for
capturiug the works by strategy, under
cover of dark Do. The piouwr were
brought up ; the euds dug out of tbe works
nnd tbe guns drawn out by tbe aid of ropes,
under a destructive fire from tbe occupant
of the wo.-ks, who were driven out or cap-
tured, as our troop swaruied in tbrouuli I
the opening in overwhelming numbers.

A DESPERATE NIGHT BATTLE,
"About ten p. m. Hooker's command com
menced throwing up breastworks to strength
en their position, and to cover their movr
ntcnta it was found necessary to advance
tneir skirnusu line. In doing so the skir
nnshers ran against tbe rclcl line. Imme
diately a heavy artillery and musketry fire
opened from both contestants, which lasted
uum two ociock in tno morning. The

THE EXTENT OP OUR VICTORY.
'For the benefit of those croakers who
are never satisfied with the results of our

As an offset, the enemy has taken but one

During one of these eventful niuhts. when
troops lay in line. of battle behind their tem
porary tortilicattons of dirt, logs, and rails,
and the continuous crack of the sharn-
sh)otcr's rifle rolled alone our front, a soli
tary voice struck up the patriotic song, "Ral
ly round the flag, boys," and almost instant
ly thousands of the men, who seemed to
have been waiting fur something to disioatD
tho gloom which thoughts of the day's car
r.nge had engendered, wero shouting in a
chorus which "shook tho depth of tho

As down there lino 'it went, the rain
swelled into one vast roar, cxultunt, trium
phant, and breathing dctiance to the wary
enemy, whoso only reply was the spiteful
whiz of extra bullets from their skirmish
line whistling harmlessly bv. This little
episode tended greatly to inspire our troops,
and could not but have equally irritated

She has participated in every battle in

exhibits by biting at them whenever they
are brought within the reach of her chain.
She accompanies the regiment on picket,

But then there is a difference of blood,
which renders conquest, and would, by the
same logic, render a harmonious reuniou,
impossible. Gentlemen on the other side
insist upon distinguishing, to their own
disadvantage, between the North and South
in this particular. They tell us that the
latter are a nation of Cavaliers, while wc
arc only Puritans, or Quakers, or Pennsyl
vania Dutch. Well, if it were true, and
they were twice as nbmcrous as they are,
there is nothing in tho facts of history to
warrant tho servile reiteration here, of the
Richmond vaunt that they cannot be con
quered, aud will die in the lust ditch, if
necessary. The little island of Great Brit
ain holds in bondage tho Celt of Ireland
and the hundred millions of India, while
the Mantchou Tartar dominates over three
hundred and fifty millions of Chinese. Al
exander left the world as a legacy to bis
generals, and the Ottoman still sits upon
the Bosphorus, and sways his scepter over
tho imperial city of tho East. But it is not
true. Gentlemen on tbe other sido are ' as
much out, I think, in their ethuology as
in their history. There is no distinction of
blood, and noue of habit or opinion, except
that which must prevail between a higher
civilization aud a lower one. If they mean
that the men who colonized the South were
a superior variety of the same stock, they
speak iu ignorance of the fact that the New
England Pilgrams wero tho very highest
and purest type of the genuine Englishman,
abandoning high social positions aud com
fortable homes, in the quest of liberty in
the New World, while the colonists of 'the
South were, with a few exceptions, a motley
aud miscellaneous herd of mere adventurers,
some flying fioiii their creditors at borne,
and others rejected by the stomach of the

that free society is a failure, then they nre

But these gentlemen, tho neutrals of the
border and the eontenative of tho North
Arcauian j all have, I think, about perform
ed their mission. They have done, not the
nuia. mey luienuea, out the one they have
been put upon by the great Ruler of nations.
t was a bloody work, but it was, perhaps,
a necessary ono. A blow struck at the
spirit ot tne proclamations of Fremont and
Hunter, would probably have made an end
of it for tho timo licing, while it preserved
its cause. Tho conservative statesmen were
wanted to make the remedy radical and
sure, by prolonging and exasneratin'' tho
strife, and intensifying ajind universulizing
the very partial abolition feeling of the
North. It was the Voice of Jehovah thut
spake from tho iron throats of thoso engines
that burled their defiant missiles aguinst
our flag at Sumter, iust as the anmo vnien
thundred from the crouds aud darkness of
Siani, when it promulgated to the world
tho great law of bumanitv. It was the
great proclamation of freedom to tbe op
pressed anteccding that of tbe I'residei.t
by nearly two years that uealed in tho emu
of the lordly chivalry, who held high car
nival on that memorable day on tho boule
vards of Charleston. Tho litrht that tilnl
from the muzzles of those guns flashed over
tho American firmament with
like that which floated chaos, at the flat of
niuipiience, on tne nrst morning ot crea
tion. Thinking people saw it and rejoiced.
It was "the beginning of tbe end" of the
long agony under which this nation lm.l
been sweating, as it were, great drops of
uiuuu. lun n ur uuu oecome a necessity,
which politicians wero powerless either to
postpone or avert. Though no abolitionist
till then I saw it and rejoiced along
with them. I thanked God as 1 do now
that by an act of sublime justice, such as
the pen of inspiration hud never recorded,
and the genius of the dirma never imagined,
He had put out the eyes of the slave-owner,
and guided bis own hands to the pillars of
the temple which protected him ; that Ho
had made him drunk with arrormnce. and
decreed a transttendunt suicide, by making
himself the Nemesis the i nstriimi'nt: fit' flu
the instrument of the
great work, which no merely human agen
cies .could have accomplished. But that
work would have been imperfect without
more ; and, by an act of justice equally sub
lime, He called into the counsel the state
men of the border, along with the advocates
of human bondage iu the North, and neu
trality and conversation stood haud iu bund
by tho bedside of the sufferer, helping it iu
to eternity, and mistaking all tho while
like the lachrymose and lugubrious gentle
man from Indiana in tbe sepulchral gloom
of that chamber, of mortality, the unburied
und offensive corpse over which ho still sobs
for the image of a dead or dying Union. It
the border States, if Kentucky especially
has suffered as sho is claimed to have done
if her dwelliugs have been desolated und
her soil drenched with the blood of her peo
ple, she has to thank her statesmen, as we of
the free States do for all the sacrifices it has
cost us to save the negro, while wo throwing
away the priceless jewels of tho North. If
instead ot a neutrality which was only auo
ther name for treason which the law of So
lon would have deuouueed as the worst of
crimes, aud the fierce genius of Dante would

Govcrnmeut, aud even to her own citizens

lWcrer, a hundred thousand northern bayo
nets would have belted her roucd as with a
w all of tiro, and no hostile foot would have
left a mark upon her soil. She chose tho
other part. Neutrality flushed slowly into
the sickly and livid hue, tho pule, disastrous
twilight of conservatism, and sat upon her
chest and ours until their pulses were almost
hushed; aud, as a consequence of all this,
the bravest of her sons have died ignobly
in the effort to destrov tho Union of their
fathers, und tho most honored of ber names
have gone down in darkness among the
nameless and undistinguished dead, ami
uew sleep aud felons' graves, unknelled, un
coiliued "unwept, unhonored aud unsung."

APPEAL or I.OVAL WOMEN TO BKKElItl.E MEN.
In all great emergencies women naturally
looks to man for aid. God bas so ordained,
and we arc told she was created as belp-uiuet
for him. It seems still to bo the rule aud
practice of woman to call upon man, and to
expect bis reponse with all his powers, so
carrying out tho origiuul idea of partner
ship. This idea waives the question of
rights, equality of powers, and all question
ot substitutions either way.
On the movement which called together
tho earnest, loyal, truth-seeking woman at
the Cooper Institute, there seems to bo n
mistaken opiuion as to their wishes aud in
tentions. They did not go there to act or

The question was a r-oimilirnWl n-.
Great mistakes might be made. We wished
to see both sides of the shield held up and
commented upon by a strong arm and a
lucid and independent mind. Wn Hwl n.,t
obtain this knowledge Hungry seekers uf-
ic-r Busieimnce were starved. We asked.
What shall.wc do to reform our habits of
extravagance in dress ? What can we save ?
on what Where will tho money saved go I
A pledge was hurried ou our unprepared
minds. It was not dissent from reform.
The patriotic women would allow no limit,
many of them, to their self-sacrifice. But
they were misunderstood. Men told them
thut they would bo as pleasing to them if
they dressed plainly. They know it, but
they dress to please themselves and each
other. Dress is often a form of nrticulture.
Their grandmothers loved dress, but their
indulgence of it was limited to one brocade
dress in many years, curefully worn and
lasting to show iu our fairs still fresh nnd
beautiful. With our insecure but largo for
tunes, wc fill a room with rich dresses, worn
in variety to cause unhappy comparisons
with smaller incomes, aud w ith fixed iu
cumcs. What wc want of the men is not gentle
encouragement to please, but robust help
to do, and to suffer privation if need be.
We want weighty pens to write down follv,
extravagance Bnd excess at watering places

tyrs of soldiers. Wc want liens dinned in

The Paiismp. The parsnio is one of tho
most valuable roots that can lie trrown. In
the Island of Jersey it is used almost exclu
sively for fattening both cattle and swine.
According to Le Conteur, tho weight of a
good crop varies from thirteen to twenty-seven
tons per acre. When parsnips are given to
milch cows with a little hay, in the winter
season, tho butter is found to be of as fine
a color and excellent flavor as when the ani
mals are feeding in the best pastures. Aa
parsnips contain six per ceut. more mucil
ugo than carrots, tho diffcreuco may be
sufficient to account for tho superior fatten
ing as well as tho butter making quality of
tho parsnip. In tho fattening of cattle tho
parsnip is found superior to the carrot, per
forming tho business with more expedition
and affording meat of exquisite and highly
juicy flavor, the animals cat it w ith much
greediness.
The tesult of the experiment has shown
that not only in neat cattle, but iu the fat
tening of hogs aud poultry, tho animals be
come fat much sooner, aud bto more healthy
than wiien fed with any other root or vegeta
ble, and that, besides, the meat is more
sweet and delicious. The parsnip leaves
being more bulky than those of carrots,
may lie mown off before taking the roots,
and given to tho oxen, cows o" horses, by
which they will be greedily eaten. Another
thing in favor of parsnips for this country
is that tlie frost does not injure them. They
remain in the ground until spring, when
they make splendid feed at a tiniu every
other root is scarce, or they may be slightly
buried, where they can be obtained almost
any time during the winter. Ou account
of their rapid growth when young tho weed
ing is less trouble than weeding carrots.
