This is the common white beans, which .grow very well upon land too pcgjf to produce good corn. They should be planted with a drilling machine in the furrow of-Ja subsoil plow,- and bo cultivated with a hotise-hoe, tp make the crop profitably. ifext in order comes buckwheat, vyhich nan be Liwn as late ns the 20th of Jpne.lthough it is infer to sow i.t ten days earlier. If there is _any spare land left from the other crops, do not neglect to.put it in buckwheat, and d(m’t forget thS the erop when ripe, nan he safety stored in Btatk», and will keep ns well, or better, than anj other grain. AVe mention this because We hale known farmers to gauge their sowing by their ability to cut and thresh at once, having theiimpression that the crop could not be kept in (he straw. 1 - ■ Millet is another late crop that should not be neglected. It is very much grown at the West as 51 hay crop, under they*name of Hungarian grgss, and several other humbug names, ohe of whjch is “Jupanese wheat,” under w|iil;h name molt persistent efforts are made to swindle far mers wilh some of thti varieties of millet—a goJd and useful grain, for .Sumo purposes, and pidfitable to grow under some circumstances, but not valuable enough for farmers to afford to fie swindled with a high price fur (jbe-seed. Resides increasing the gram and grass crops to (he greatest possible extent, do ru)t neglect the! roof crop. Plant beets, carrots,j parsnips, rutibagas, turnips—everything that| will help to f reduce a greater abundance ofbuftly, cheese, polk, beef and rhruttun. In-all probability all will bo wanted, a| remunerating prices, in all the quantity that the diminished hqlp of for me -s.can possibly produce. " , A late number of the Homestead has a good art do upon this subject of increasing the cross, particularly directed to Connecticut far mers, which says: ; ‘ Civil war is upon u», and it devolves hew duties upon farmers, as well as upon' all other cla ises in the community. True the .country is fui of bread-stuffs* and provisions of; all kinds are unusaaUy^abundiiht'and cheap. , Blit who is t rise enough to tell what this war shell assume, and how Jong the struggle will cor tinue ? It is a war of the people, 1 of Anglo Saboh people, resolute, dogged and; persistent, to (he last degree. Multitudes of me a will be drawn from tbe pursuits uf peace to the tented fiell. Large armies will have to be] fed and elo hed. Impiense numbers of 'hoifses will be needed for them. Almost everything- that the far ner produces will be in brisk Remand. Hay, oati, flour, pork, beef, butter and cbteae will be likely to advance in price if the wa ■ is prolonged beyond the present Sutotner. It is among the contingencies, that we are just entering upon a conflict more bloody and pro longed than that which gave birth to the nation. It is the part of -patriotism as well as of private interests to keep the country full of provisions. ■‘l Grain, especially, should be produced to the fill: capacity of the farm, and the labor em ployed. Fur grain, unlike roots and vegetables ant, fruits., can easily be kept over a year with out any loss in value ob price. Mow is the time of oat-sowing, If a larger breadth can not be given.to this, crop, at least a little more ma >ure may be sown with tbe seeds, and the pro duets be increased. If stable thahure is exl austed r guano, poudrette, and 1 superphos phate are still on hand, and these, when genu ine. are pretty certain to return their cost in grr in with a profit on the labor," ’’hat is excellent adtice. If labor Is scarce, ag-eat breadth cannot be planted, but what is eat ■ be made more productive. ‘ A little more manure and labor bestowed upon the same fields we now tJultivatej will givh us a full supply of corn for our own popu lation. Tbia crop is greatly helped by concen trated fertilizers, dropped in the bill with the secil. Fanners who have tried, this are confi det t'that it can be increased twenty jbushols to the! acre b f this process.

There is manure sough wasted dh alihost every fanp to add ■ores if not hundreds of bushels to the corn ■op.” , It is probable that although agricultural la or may be scarce, there wilt be a Surplus of uskilled labor which farmers may, in fact lould employ. Laborers now employed in any manufacturing establishnients are very kely to be thrown out of.employment, and so v ill be a great many sea-faring men engaged in the" coasting trade;, AH these; of r imaining idle, should at'once apply themselves 1 1 the cultivation of-, the land, and evfery farmer ii in duty bound—duty to his country as well a j fellow man—fo give such persons employ ment; if not as hirelings, give them an oppor tunity of growing something that will help t icm in theirineed to a supply of food. The Homestead's article has another very s msible piece of advice which will apply to s ime others beside Connecticut farmers. " Let ii be rend and thought of: “ We have one crop that might be dispensed V ith altogether for, the present. Grain is bet- ir than tobacco. In 1850 we produced in iis State over a million and a quarter pounds r tobacco-with very doubtful economy to the reducer, and not much benefit to the public. Te think all the grain that can be grown upon iese acres will be needed before the year omes round.” " Tobacco has been considered our most rofitable crop; whether it be so or not we will ot discuss!; we have always held the contrary, ad fully believe it; stil,l, under some, circum ances on the very best managed farms per aps it may be a little more profitable than ly other. The question of profit is' complex, iwever, and we should not reckon only the rofits of a,single season, for obviously thus we in come at no just decision. .Neither should man whojhas a patriotic soul calculate only is own profits. After years of peace in money itting, we have grown selfish. Let us remem er, however, that we are the State, and the tate is its people. Let .then the man who in ils crisis in our nation’s history would show is loyalty, raise-food instead of poison. Less ibacco will be of ne damage to the world, more wheat Rfc onr own doors will be a great Uesaing. Sow, then, corn or wheat on the-to bacco land. Let this' word go-forth, and if i , goes forth with a' will and becomes the s aliment of the people, we should, even here i i law-loving New-England, fear that the man' vho, in spile of this sentiment, should plant tie weed, would never gather his crop. There ill be a good deal of wheat raised this year, nd while our production is bo far behind onr Dnsbmption there Cannot ’be too much. AV.e nght all to do our best.” Yes, do you best to provide for the worst, and len if the worst does not come, and we And trselves iri possesion of a surplus,, femomber that," a store is no sore.” i It would be a sore thing if in addition to the ireness of war there should be such a scarcity fdo'd thatjthose who go to Sght back Slavery itn overrunning free soil would be in danger not being full fed, or that their wives and ildren left at homes,among us should suffer, many did in the-v Tar of the first revolution. It is the duty,-of those who take arms in their nds to drive tack the foe, to provide against > danger. Jtjs our duty, who stay at home, provide against the,danger of short crops.— short, to provide that they are' as abundant industriblis labor, judiciously an J , ecunomi- ally directed; can possibly effect., To do this r e must begin now. vNow is the seed-time; •t us alljlojour duty, and trust God, for the arvest. Brother farmers, we urge you fd plant corn, 'low dqep! tWahure well, and plant corn. .[t, ■ American) mothers,, wives and daughters of tmerican soldiers, we urge you to plant corn. j Whnt if every woman, who has the ability, shall plant and tend one well-fertilized hill of otarn-? I ( Who can imagine the vast addition nil the golden cars! grown npmj these extra stalks Would makb to the great national store ? What if were all gathered in orie ..garner, and added to the widows’ and orphans’ fund ? j Think of this, mothers, wives, and daugh ters 1 Think what you can do, with such a trifling, oddiiion to your other labors as plant ing one hill of corn. • j “Only th'ee grains of corn, mother!” let ejvere child cry, in all the month of May, and, dlantit, and then follow the Scriptural injunc tion, “Dig about and dung it,” until it grows and bears fruit. The wastefbonoa of a single dinner, burned jnd pulverized, will more than fertilize a hill acorn. Thb waste, the sweepings, the slops, he faces, ofja small family, mixed in a tub, jnd CatefUlly applied as a liquid manure, would fertilize a hundred hills of corn; aye, more, rould add a hundred bushels to the crop. _ Then plant “ three grains nf corn.”. Dig the nil deep andl mellow. Soak the seed to hasten [s vegetatiorl. Keep the ground free, of weeds, hid the surface loose, and moist and rich. Dig h the early ihorning dew. Thera is no better ptillzer. Ifj you plant the right kind, three tains will produce sis ears, and each of lltesa fill have a hundred grains. Men, women, children—all who lota your puntry —all Who have a single superficial foot If the surface of that country—we ask you to jlant one hill of corn. Thus yon can serve bur country jin its hour of peril. Ton can, fith vour {feeble bands alone, provide a surplus F grain.

Unreasonable, immeasurable confidence of success has ruined too many a gnllantl leader'and righteous cause.- Lot us con sider, then, with all possible impartiality, the prospers of the Union cause in the struggle now opening. _ , j . _ I. And, in the outset, let the fallyi.be utterly hooted |of supposing that the rebels will not tight. .They t rill, they mast fight, and that des perately. A peaceful adjustment is a .sheer im possibility, and has been from the hpur that the iron hail was first rained,on the. walls of devo ted Sumter. The men who planned, directed, executed, and even those who in any manner incited; that^ fiendish act,, are traitors to the United | States,, and as such are instinctively and irrepressibly nbborrodjby every loyal heart. They have burned their,ships, and retreat is henceforth impossible. Any peace that may be made roust involve their signal triumph or their utter humiliation. If there were no other obstacles to a half-and-half settlement, the po sition Ojf the Ar my and Navy officers whom they have seduced from their loyalty-would be insuperable. Hero are great numbers of sworn defenders of the authority and flag of the' Union, from Gen. Twiggs down, who have been dyed in a treason so black jthat no Government not utterly broken down could consent to over look it.! Can the traitors agree to abandon these officers, without support or profession, to the cold charities of a frowning world? Could the Government consent to their restoration to the rank they have betrayed? If it could, would loyal and faithful officers consent to serve with and under them? The idea is utterly in admissible. 11. Nor will it answer to depreciate the Mili tary resources end efficiency of the rebels.— Even cowards in-their position would fight des perately, and they are no onwards. Most of them have been trained from the cradle to con sider personal bravery the very first requisite of manjy chAracter, and skill in the use of arms the first necessity of a gentleman. ■ The ride and revolver have been their playthings from boyhood, and the duel, nr some “difficulty” in volving peril to life, are with them themes of daily contemplation and frequent observation. And. while we are confident that a majority of the Southern People are ati heart Unionists to day, we judge that seven-eighths of the fighting force—the “Chivalry”— of the Slave' States- 1 — the voilng. the daring, the ambitions-, the dos peratc-i-have been drawn into the meshes of the rebellion. They have many of the very best of inur late Army officers, and theft soldiers will at first be better led and handled than ours. Such are the advantages with which they will enter upon tbe contest, added to which it must hi fought on ground -which .they know thoroughly and we very ! imperfectly, in the midst.of their resources ami at a distance from ours, while the inhabitants of the seat of war will eagerly give information to their leaders!whero one jvill venture to give any to ours, i i 111. But, on the' other hand, they fight to divide and belittle the Republic, wbile we strug gle to preserve and uphold its integrity. Our. positioti in this war chimes with an intense and pervading American instinct, while theirs resists |and defies it. We icarrv the 1 oid 9ug, with thirty-four stars emblazoned proudly there on ; they flaunt a novel imitation which bears but seven stars now, and, cannot have more than fourteen. Every American long resident in distant lands is heartily j wit h u«; so is every Old-World republican; so ia t overy:nno who hopes and prays that all North America shall .ultimately constitute one great, glorious Repub lic. The .value of this identity of our cause with the spontaneous and fervid impulses of “Young America” can hardly be, over-esti mated. IV. The pshpia.of the .loyal Slates are far more unanimous and hearty ih the striiggle fur the Union than are the people of the Slave States in seeking its disqifcmberment. We know that there arc individuals .in these Stales whose hearts are with Jeff. Davß^Co,: hut they are a very inconsiderable fraetitTrrof the whole “ while in the Southjtho unerring test of the Ballot, while voting was still measurably free, proves the Union still strong in the affec tions of millions'. Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and even Ar kansas! have voted since Lincoln’s election that they would not he dragged out of the Union ; and, though that vote has in roost instances been practically circumvented by the conspira tors, the record still stands.! Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisnfna, were carried by the Se cessionists through a desperate struggle; in Louisiana, the Unionists claim to have east a .majority of the popular vote, ns also in Ala bama ;!while thousands were bullied into vo ting Secession tickets by the cry, “ You have repeatedly, explicitly, resolved that you would secede if a Republican were chosen President: now stand up to that resolve or confess your selves liars 1” Thousands vbted-tbus in order to frighten the Free States into concessions which would give them an excuse for remain ing in' the Union ; they nevpr really pieant to break out of it.'. Poll the whole American people to-day; and we ate confident that two thirds of them wdiild vote jo have the Union preserved. It is ii)ipossihle| that this prepon derance should not be felt in. the’ pending struggle. f V. The people of the loyhi States arb-more intelligent, ingenious, inventive, mechanical, than the mass of those who will be brought in to the field against them. From any Northern brigade, you may at the same time clioose (he fit men'to rebuild" a btofcep, bridge, to repair and tun 5 railroad, and to scale and fight a ship of war! leaving tjib brigade still effective for the field. s‘his is not true to a like extent of any other brigade in the world, certainly not of any that obeys the orders of Jeff, Davis. And it can not fail to telUon the fortunes of a campaign. VI. The preponderance of wealth, and cred it, and industrial efficiency, is greatly oh the side of the loyal States. W.-ir is a costly game, and every year’s improvements ih projectiles ind gunnery renders it more so. ,Tba Idngekt purse heals the sharpest sword, when they are found on opposite sides. We command the seas; we arc (it home in the gold mines; we can beat the rebels ten to one in casting can non,' in, rifling thUskets; in making cartridges. We have the sympathies of the civilized world, and, can.borrow millions abroad where the reb els would be refused thousands. We have no servile class that needs watching, and no shad ow of dread ofji a dre in the rear.” We excel in growing fond, and digging coal, and work ing iron and steel, in mining copper, weaving cloth, and making wares ; and if we, were cut off from all foreign trade for twenty years, we should come out the, richer and stronger for the stricture. -We depend on the staple like. Cbt ton that must be exported in order to be reap ized. In short, we go into the contest as a well" appointed army would engage one composed of artillery alone. VII. Finally, the armies of the Union are and long will be composed of Volunteers only, or men whose hearts arc in the work, while the rebels have already been compelled to resort extensively to drafting or to bullying men into their service. Fort; Sumter was invested by military compelled to serve, many of whom de tested the rebellion and its authors. In every seceded State, men are constrained to enlist un- : der penalty of being robbed and hunted out- as “ Abolitionists”—that is, Unionists, As the •T ’ contest proceeds, and the monstrous lies con cerning President Lincoln, Gen. Scott;'the North, the Black Republicans, invasion, subjtl gallon, &., wherewith the South has been crazed, shall be gradually exposed by the Inarch of events, it must be that thousands of those thus driven in to the rebel ranks, being disabused, will escape from their vassalage Or rciuse to raise fratricidal hands against the de fenders of the Union, • Such, hastily stated, are our reasons for be lieving that, with wisdom and energy at head quarters, the Union will be uphold and the re bellion crushed out,. That this end will be at tained through perils, sacrifices, discourage ments, disaters even;.we know ; hut it will se cure a noble heritage of peace and prosperity to our country and our odildron. Through the Ked Sea, not around it, lies the appointed' way to ihe'Laud of Promise, and it will ba steadfast ly trhijden by a brave and loyal people.-^-A’i l’i ibuhe. M LIES; A cause that is based upon lies can no more live and flourish than a house-can stand whose foundation is on the sand. • The truth of this scripture Sir. Jefferson Davis \vill live to wit ness, and possibly may testify thereto in a more conspicuous manner than be would wish.— This 'Southern Confederacy is certainly based upon falsehood in morals and statecraft, and if, as seems probable, it- has no other chance for a sliflrt-lile existence than the active promulga tion of lies, it must come to a-speedy end and at no distant peiiod. lie must be a wise and a wary man, and a man of many resources, who can deceive a lellyw creature to ills mortal Hurt; that wisdom has not yet been given to man which can cozen and cheat a nation out of its existence. It is not pleasant to usjhns to speak of any fellow-creature, nut even Mr. Jeff. Davis ; hut then, as, we know, to apply to him another „ Scriptural phrase, that •• he is a liar, and the ! truth is not in him,” and that thousands of lives and millions.of treasure are to be sacri ficed to the ambition of him And his follows, we do nut care to stop to ehooso our phrcV—i ’ or to minee them if wo did. This gigantic re-, ts'ollion, of which he is the head, was conceived in Slavery, begbt in fraud, and feeds and grotys j fttt on I ,If any one thihg has been made mr.ro mani fest than another throughout this Secession b’osoess, it is thatjhe leaders net iit/sl the I'eople. The question of a separate Confed eracy has never yet been submitted to them either as a whole people or as soparate-Stato sovereignties, and never will be, simply because the leaders do not dare. It'is very true, and we,hasten to do them the justice jo acknowl edge it, if there were no re.isun for fear, they would still bo prevented, by that haughty con tempt they fecHoj alLw ho are not of their own class, from consulting Cither the wishes or the opinions of the petrpie in relation to the mutter. But .as; aftet/oiU,"”' mud-sills” are quite as necessary and liseful.in their way as the more ornamental parts of the architecture of human society, it is' the fear of the expression of- their wishes and opinions that has. barred the sub mission of the 4 ue bt'on of Secession to their votes. yC , iNor is this, the only way in which they show their fear lest the truth should be known. The newspapers,of the [South atb full of lies, and common rumor more than justifies its ancient reputation, for not even by an accident does if blunder upon the truth. A censorship of the press, or that sense of honor known even among thieves, forbids Southern journals’, and the' fevT Southern persons who have the intelligenpe or the ability to take a.Northern newspaper, to promulgate the intelligence from the North.— An equally strict surveillance is exercised over all correspondence. Prudent merchants of Xew- Olleans, and, we presume, of other places, who wish to avoid suspicion, and to insure a chance of the transmission of their letters, send them unsealed, well aware that no seal is regarded except to secure the destruction of a lettep as a safe alternative, when time fails in the exami nation of n large mail. A Southern gentle* man, who left a South-Western city a week ago, is shucked and amazed tit the state of things at the" North. “We know notbing-of jit at the South,” be declares;, “it is all studi | odsly kept frond us!” “ Great God! wo are 1 lost,!’.’ exelaitiiis another, when he sees the un-. expected unanimity and activity of the North, which in bis section also they are not permitted to hear of.
