WHAT THE FARMERS A|k f .DOING.
Among the various working, tobnnitteea of
the'coming Fair, the labors of fjw, if indeed
nny,are more onerous than tb Ai, of the com
mittee on agriculture. To the 'Committee is
confided the duty of soliciting Moktributions of
tile Products of Vie Farm and 'ci? Vie Farm
ers' Household, in the three Swtni.'of Pennsyl
vania, New-Jersey , and Delaware, And the sys

to complete that when carried-dir l pot only ev

the soldier organized, their coillKbutiens col-'
lected, forwarded to a central pc iut convenient
to a railroad, and finally tranupi Dried without
expense to contributors, to, th<i ircrbhoase in
this cUy. 1 - i' ” ''
The method by which these inOtj are secured
is so simple and yet so enffioicni; jhat a brief
account of it cannot fail to int-lpot oor read
ers, as well as to exemplify’to tip mire of other
States how their brethren of thj central States
go to Work in aid of the UnwiTsoldiers. Like
the chairmen of all the other inimiUeefi, the
cbairipan of the committe on sericulture was
appointed by the Executive Com: littce of the
XJ. S. Sanitary Commission.; tjs first care
was to eorround himself with'. tarnest
known and highly respected’ fninds of agri
culture iif the three States, of o' (ioh sixteen |
werefipm Pennsylvania, eight fn in New-JerJ

chairman thirty in all. .By tile authority of
this committee a chairman of &-county com
mittee, generally an officer or pi eminent nftm
l*er pf a local agricultural society, is appointed
in every county. He constitutef five gentle
men and five ladies a' cnnmittee, him
self acting as chairman, which committee brings
the subject before the public mOia I>f the coun

various churches, enlists the I If' of the locgj

offerings of patriotism.
The lists having been obtained, a copy is

THE AGITATOR.
WEDNESDAY, : : : : : : MAY 11, 1864.
The American people are at last awaking to
the magnitude of the exigency. The nature of
this contest, its bearings and itswecessitiss, are
beginning to be comprehended. Men and wo
men have come at last to see that the age is
destined to stand out in bold relief against the
ages which form its background. They are
preparing to yield to the pressure of necessity,
to the extraordinary demands of the times.—
For three years the world has looked upon this
nation conducting the most stupendous war of
recorded time,.and still increasing in material
prosperity. The demand for labor was never
more imperious. The wages of labor were ne
ver better. The products of industry were ne
ver invited to a better market. Nevertheless,
our vision his not been clear touching the na
ture and result of the contest. Wa have given
judgment on ex parte testimony, and have hot
looked the issues in the face.
But now there are indications of favorable
change. Congress is rising to the level of the
occasion. Our public men are acknowledging,
publicly and officially, what they have from the
beginning known to be true —that the burden
of this war must fall upon. the wealth of the
country.. They have framed a tax bill, which,
it is believed, will raise about one-half of our
current expenses. They have framed a-bill to
establish a uniform currency, based upon the
public indebtedness. They have enacted a law
amendatory of the tariff, which must operate to
-check importations and throw ns back npon our
ample resources. All these acts show conclu
sively that we are about to grasp hold of the
means of self-preservation, and hold them until
ws are saved—we and our children.
Bat this is not all. The women of our great
cities—or a'notable band of women in each city
—are now forming “ home leagues,” with the
purpose of checking all extravagance of living.
They ask all American women, who have the
good of the republic at heart, to join with them
in discouraging the consumption of foreign lux
uries of dress and ornament. It is to be hoped
that their sisters in’the country will form branch
leagues, end co-operate with them in the fullest
degree. Next to the great charities of the times
•—the Sanitary and Christian Commissions—
these associations for the suppression of extra
vagance should receive the hearty countenance
of all. Who does not feel a glow of pride at
the rehearsal of-the sacrifices so cheerfully
made by the men and women of the Revolu
tion T Who does not know that the unparal
leled splendor of that time of trial, radiates
from the heroic self-denial of the fathers and
mothers of the Republic, as from a central sun ?
it was the lesson presented to every one of us
in our cradles. The grandeur of the Revela
tion was more owing to its heroism than to its
result. ■ -
. It lies with the men and women of this time
to render it as lustrous as was that. If we are
meanly selfish, then .future generations will
deny their ancestry. If we fail to live worthily,
they shall say—“ Better they had never lived
at all 1” But that bitter speech must be fore
stalled and made impossible. Hare the men
and women of this trial-time the sterling love
of co.umry which can successfully compete with
that which rendered the revolutionary age so
glorions ? Let us answer that question by a
full and hearty response to the appeal of tbe
loyal women of tbe land.
) It ie a little sacrifice—this laying off the
■costly fabrics woven in foreign looms, and sub
stituting tbe better ones which fall from our
own. Let the silk-worms and the lace-weavers 1
of the old world have a holiday. What sensi
ble husband will not more esteem and love his
wife in plain cotton print, than in costly silks,
satins and laces f What true wife will think
less of her husband in sheep’s grey than in
broadcloth from French looms? We may now
leqrn how much of love, esteem, admiration,
and deference, belongs to the man, and how
.much to the tailor. It is>time some of these
husks we» stripped from pretension, and a rev
elation made of the real, the solid, the true.
And it is time men and women gave some
sign of tbe. depth of their patriotism; Sacri
fice is tbe measure of that love as well as of all
other loves. If we are willing to eschew lux
ury, that the arm of power may be strength
ened, then we shall unite with these projectors
of Home Leagues, I and give a reason for the
faith within us. M. H. C.
Washington, May 2,1864.
There are signs of-preparation for a great
battle visible cn every hand. Long trains of
ambulances, carrying the sick and disabled,
have been coming into tho city from the front,
for several days. The hospitals are likewise
getting ready to accommodate new-comers,
The often passing by of artillery trains, the
constant pressfng forward of troops to the front,
the strict surveillance which rules travel, and
the Clearing out of*soldiers doing light duty in
tbe hospitals—all these things have a deep sig
nificance to those who have watched the pro
gress and phenomena of war for these last three
years. There are also other indications of work
ahead, which may not be interpreted into lan
guage.
Then, without doubt, the campaign 'of. 1864
is about to open ; and the thunder of cannon
will, ere many days, reverberate over the wastes
of Virginia, and awake the sleeping echoes of
war even in the capital. The result, of course
wc can only predict in the light of faith and
hope. The shock wilt be between veteran ar
mies, led by men of acknowledged talent in the

THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.
I art of war. Both leaders are men with pres
tige. The struggle must, be sharp, but long,
i bloody, and decisive as to those armies. I do !
not suppose this Is to be the lest battle of the I
war. When I look about me, and observe how
little progress we have made in the way of re
forming abuses; how little we have learned in
the trying school of national adversity; how
proudly and defiantly bad men walk and sit in
high place*;'when I look about me and observe
these things, I am not sanguinely expectant of
a sudden ending of this contest. The struggle
is by no means of the ordinary character. Not
only is the majesty of law and order to be vin
dicated, but the greater majesty of public vir
tue is to be acknowledged and adored. lie is
to be pitied who can see nothing higher in the
object of this war than the expiation of the one
great crime of human bondage. The ,rascali
ties of Floyd and others were bat the scanty
outcrop of a stupendous underlying moral rot
tenness. The villainies which sicken us now,
as they come to the light, are but the scanty
overplus of crime nurtured at the bosom of
power for half-a-oentury. This war came not
alone to strike off the fetters of the black and,
white, imposed by southern aristocrats,' but to
lead this nation, out of the bondage of shame
which it bad endured for so many years. The
stables are not yet purified. The discipline
must go on until, the. purgation sbaU ba com
plete.
Individuals bare become better for tbe chas
tening. In bo far, there is progress. But the
nation, apart from its growth in generosity,
evinced in the establishment. and maintenance
of great charities, has not much advanced.—
There are tbe same old jealousies, and selfish
ness, working out in, and marring the other
wise fair record of passing events.' Men are
not intent, altogether, upon tbe re-habilitation
of the nation, but much more upon personal
success. It is the same old and mortifying
story —men quarrel because there is not a king,
dam for each man.
But this will be changed—all in dne-time,
and through due process of growth. We must
he patient. Radical changes in character never
happen in a day. They are the offspring of
long years of varied and often painful experi
ence. We are casting tbe old skin of national
vice, and shall, at some time, appear in a garb
and character from which the best and purest
of men will net turn with disgust and shame,
Tbe American people must take the lesson of
patience ho no to their hearts. If every man
and woman will but do his and her duty in
the present moment, tbe future will take care
of itself. We cannot hasten the progress of
the world by grumbling. It is enough :tbat
success is certain, and that its coming is onjya
question of time and earnest effort.
GREAT BATTLE OS FRIDAY.
YICTQEY OF GENERAL GRAFT,
A disp-itch from the Secretary of War, dated
May Btb, to Gen. Dij, New York, says, “we
have no official reports from the front, but the
Medical Director has notified the Surgeon Gen
al that our wounded were being sent to AVnsh
ington, and will number from 6,000 to 8,000.’'
The enemy’s strength has always been most
felt in bis first blows, and their having failed,
and our forces not only having maintained their
ground, but preparing to advance, lead to the
hope of full and complete success; for when
either party fails, disorganization by straggling
and desertion commences.
1 A dispatch frpm Gen. Butler, just received,
and which left him yesterday, states that a di
version bad been made by his forces on the rail
road between Petersburg and Richmond, and
had succeeded in destroying a bortion of it, so
as to break tho connection ; that there had been
some severe fighting, hut that he had succeed
ed. He heard from a rebel deserter that Hun
ter was dangerously wounded ; Pickett, also ;
and Jones and Jenkins were killed.
The situation of tbe armies under Grant and
Lee may be thus epitomized;
On Thursday the Army of tbe Potomac sus
tained successfully a fierce attack from tbe bulk
of Lee’s army.
On Friday we made the attack, drove them
for some distance, took all their severely woun
ded prisoners, and won an indecisive victory.
On Saturday there was no fighting, and’Lee
was believed to he retiring.
Official Dispatch Jrom the Secretary of War.
. . ..Washington, May 9—10:45 a. m,
Major-General Dix:
We have intelligence this morning by scouts
direct from the army! as late ns Saturday eren
ing, but no official reports.
Thp general result may’ he stated as a suc
cess to our arms.
I deeply regret to say that the country will
have to mourn the death of that accomplished
soldier, Brigadier-General Wadsworth, who
was struck in the forehead by a ball,’at the
head of his command, while leading them
against one of the enemy’s strongest positions.
Gen. Webb was wounded. ■
Gen. Jones, of the Rebel.army, was killed.
The condition of oar army is represented" to
be most admirable. Their cool determined
courage has in every instance proved too much
for the desperate fury of the Rebels, who have
been driven at all points. -
At the latest accounts Hancock was pushing
forward rapidly by thoi left to Spoltsvlvnnia
Court House, and yesterday heavy cannonading
was beard from that direction until 3 o’clock.
We have lost some prisoners. One regiment,
the 7th Pennsylvania Reserves, charged thro'’
on abattis of the enemy, but were unable to get
back, and most of them were captured. We
have.also taken a large number of.prisoners,
supposed to.be more than we lost.
The wounded had not yet arrived at the point
where the trains were to receive them. The
Medical Director reports that a large "propor
tion were slight wounds. V
Artillery was not used on either side the first
two days.
Washington, May 9,1I ; 30 A. M.
This Department has just received from Gen.
Butler the official report of Gen. Lee of the op
erations of Friday. He says their loss in killed
is not large, bnt they have many wounded.
He grieves to announce that Gen. Longstreet
was severely wounded, Gen. Jenkins killed, and
Gen. Pegraro badly wounded on Thursday, and
that it it supposed Geo. Pegram will recover.
Ho thanks a merciful God that every advance
on their (Gen. Grant's) part has been repulsed.
He stales that bur forces attacked them and
caused some confusion;
The belief here is that Gen. Grant is achiev
ing a complete victory.
EDWIN M. STANTON.
Gen. Beauregard is in command of the Rebel
forces at Petersburg and Richmond,
Reports from Chattanooga, dated May 7th,
say thar General Sherman was then at Tunnel
Hill, the enemy at Buzzard Roost Gap,,
The Republican says: As wo go to press,
news reached the Government that Sherman is
fighting bis way through Tunnel Hill success
fully, and is pressing upon Dalton, the enemy
falling back, leaving his dead and wounded in
our bands.
If any American citizen still doubts how
he ought to vote on a constitutional amend
| ment to abolish slavery, or on what side ho
‘ ought to cast bis influence, he cannot do so bet
• jter than to follow the course which Washing
ton marked out for himself when ho wrote to
Robert Morris, April 12, 1786: ‘There is not
, ,j& man giving who wishes more sincerely than I
, do to see a plan adopted for the abolition of
shivery ; hut there is only one proper and ef
fectualmode by which it can be accomplished,
and that is by legislative authority ; and this,
bo far as my suffrages will go, shall not be want
ing." . ,
