ursT IN WIIEAT.
Rust (t,rrecto-rubigo rem) has been fear
fully destructive in its ravages on th e whe at
Crop in many sections this season. In the
immediate vicinity of Chambersburg there
is scarcely a field that has escaped its
withering blight, in some instances utterly
destroying the graln and in others damn
aging it in various degrees. We noticed
one field, in good soil south of the town,
in which the straw was perfectly black
and no grains formed in the heads at all
save in exceptional cases and thewbut im
perfectly developed: and in nearly-if not
quite every field within a eirctiit of three
miles the rust has made its Woi'ic with
more or less destructiveness. -Rich and
poor land ; highi. low and rolling : good
and bad - aiming; early and late sowing
—all seem to have been visited with the
fatal scourge. We have wheat on low,
strong limestone land; on tumbling-stone
and. on slate—on old and new laud ; on
heavy and light, and not one field escaped
the rust. None of it is totally destroyed:
bat between the rust and the milk-weevil
we have lost fully one-half the promised
yield, and will have both inferior grains
and straw.
But while the immetlltfte vicinity of
'Chambersburg is thus affected, we believe
that the rust has not prevailed generally
throughout the county. In Green, Mont
gomery, Washington and Antrim it has
not been seriously destructive. andwe be
lieve that the Northern part of the county
has in a great measure escaped also. Why
there should be rust on the most fertile
farms aroand Chambersburg, and the coun
try five miles distand measurably or
wholly escape it, is most unaccountable ;
but when it is : considered that the enemy
is but imperfeetly understood, none of its
apparent freaks or singularities need ex
cite surprise. When the origin of rust is
perfectly mastered, a remedy will proba
bly appear ; but 2ve must confess that Jest
at present it seems to defy all human in
vestigations for an effectual remedy. All
we know of it is that it is a mushroom of
the family of the uredines. It developes
upon both surfaces of the leaves, upon the
stubble and upon the beads with the ap- _
pearance of little oval points, pulverulent,.
projecting, at first yellowish in color and
afterwards becoming black, when its work
of destruction is complete. The little
streaks which at first form in parallel
lines at the side of the fibers, finally spread
and run together, forming large patches.
If the streaks formed by the rust be at
tentively examined upon the stalk, and
particularly uPem the leaf, the epidermus
or exterior coating of the plant, it will be
found.that the sap escaping through the
split gives birth to the Arm
ther it is raised from the ground by the
rains, carried through the air by the winds,
or absorbed in the earth with the nourish
ing juices of the plant, is not a settled
question. It almost invariably shows it
self when a hot sun suddenly succeeds
protracted rains. It, is at the time when
the evaporation of the water left upon the
stocks and leaves, going on too rapidly,
occasions' cracks in the vitreous varnish
which covers all parts of the growing
stock. and thus permits the sap to deflect
from its ordinary course, that this enemy
fastens upon the stock; but whether the
mushroom is formed by the mere sap es
caping, or whether the sap is thus trans
formed by exterior causes, we do not pre
tend to determine. Certain it is that as
soot as the surface varnish of the stock is
broken or split, the sap, or vital nourish
ment of the grain, escapes and flows down
the outside of the stem instead of reach
ing its proper destination to 'Perfect the
head, and both stock and grain languish
or die. 'The leaves quickly begin to dry
up and the crop ripens prematurely with
a partial or total loss of the grain. Ex
cessive heat and moisture alternating evi
dently are the immediate causes of the
development of rust ; but the primary
cause or causes, which must be fully un
derstood before a remedy can be assured,
have yet to be mastered by the scientific
agriculturist.
The experience of wheat growers has
established the fact that in sections where
there is a natural humidity of the soil and
frequent mists, the rust has been most de-,
structive. In some sections of South Car
olina the cultivation of wheat has been
entirely aband4ned in consequence of the
prevailing misti+and dampness of the soil,
while in the vicinity of the sea the rust
seldom effects the wheat crop injuriously.
But the action of the rust ill this immedi
-ate section this year seems to defy all pre
viouslAtccepted rules touching its origin.
We haVe it on high, light, dry land as well
as on heavy moist land ; and the abund
ance of lime in the land seems to have
been powerless to arrest it. Fields but
recently limed have shared the same fate
as lands not limed at nil, thus dispeliug
the long accepted theory that Hare is one
of the most succesful foes of the rust.
The theory laid dowil by the best wri
ters on the subject is thit silicious or san
dy soil best resist rust, and for that reason
the application of lime, ashes &e., to the
soil has been invariably reconarimided as
a protection against this remorsetns agent
-of destruction. The vitreous material or
shining varnish that coats the stock and
leaves is of the same material as glass, and
is the resisting power to the escape of the
sap from the stock in its passage from the
roots to the head. The greater the thick
ness of this gloisy coat and the stronger
the stock, the greater will be its resistance
to the moisture or other atmospheric in
fluences which cause it - to crack and pre
sent false isSues to the sap: - It is there
fore naturally held that this layer of vit
reous material will be stronger in propor
tion as the soil itself contains or is sup
plied with the elements of its composition.

We give herewith an accurate engraving of the
design adopted for the proposed Monument to be
erected in the Soldiers' National Cemetery on the
battle field of Gettysburg, the corner stone of
which was laid on the 4th inst., with most nnpo,
sing ceremony. The design Nby James G. Bat
terson, of Hartford. Conn., and the monument is
to be executed in marble or bronze, butv,-e would
suggest that the latter be employed in its con
struction, and that the metal be mainly supplied
by cannon captured from the rebels during the
war. There are several precedents for this—
one, well known, being the Napoleon column, in
the Place Vendome, Paris, the material for which
was supplied by the cannon captured by French
soldiers from the enemies of France; just as,
some years later. the Achilles Statue in Hyde
Park, London—a votive offering to the Duke of
Wellington, "from the Women of England"—
was made ft om French cannon taken by the
itish twope, in the six-years' Peninsula cam
paign and at Waterloo.
The superstructure is sixty feet high, 'and con
sists of a massive pedestal twenty-five feet square
at the base, and is crowned with a colossal stat
ue representing the Geliing of Liberty. Stand
ing upon a three-quarter globe, she raises —with
ber right hand the victor's wreath of laurel. while
with her left she gathers up the folds of our na
tional flag under which- the victory has been
the materials which enter into the compo
sition of the glassy ,surface of the stock
and leaves, a greater quantity will neces
sarily be absorbed and the plant thus be
enabled to resist the rust more success
fully. This theory, it must be confessed,
has not proved reliable this season ; but
we regard it nevertheless as a wise one
inasmuch as it would IYe but good farming
even if rust was unknown. Bad as the
rust has been in some of the well-limed
lands, it might have been much wore
had the soil been deficient in that quality.
Another rule deemed reasonably cerain
to protect wheat from rust is early liar
i-esting—or rather early sowing and the
cultiyatiOtt of early varieties so as to make
early harvest ; but it too has failed this
year. The wheat crop has not been so
nearly ripe by the middle of June for
many years as it was this year, and yet
the rust has attacked it almost without
regard to its advanced state. We believe
that the white wheat has escaped it rather
batter than the' red, perhaps because it is,
a little earlier: but it was by no means
proof against the destroyer. We had , a
large field of it on rather high and well
hinted land, and it is half destroyed by
rust. We cannot, therefore, since all pre
cautions have failed this year, pretend to
oiler any certain remedy for rust; but
there are several general rules which may
be adopted with the assurance that they
will do good generally if they do not com
bat the rust-with entire success. Sow no
wheat that has been rusted in eyeu the
least degree, and stubble no ground that
has rust this, year. Whenever it is prac
ticable lime fallow ground, and give ashes
with the barn yard manure to oats stub
bles. Sow only clean seed from fields
II hide have entirely escaped the rust, and

THE TWO PRESIDENTS.
Hon. John W. Forney delivered the Oration
before the Literary Societies of Dickinsdn Col•
lege on the 2.Bth ult. His subject was "The Two
Presidents," Lincoln and'J.ohnson. Like all Mr.
Forney's productions it is eloquent in diction and
his tribute to the Presidents is as eloquent as it is
just, while his vindication of President Johoson's
policy is replete 'with wisdoniand patriotism.
We give the concluding 'portion of the address:•
It would seem as if it was intended, that these
two men should be brought closely together, iu
thb last few weeks which made the one .a glori
ous martyr and the other the chief of a great peo
ple. When the day of the second inauguration
of Mr. Lincoln approached, Governor Johnson
rwas at Nashville, engaged in his efforts to reor
ganize Tennessee and bring ber back into the
Union. He telegraphed me, asking if his pres
ence was absolutely necessary, adding that his
heart w,as in his work,and that he would rather
aid in sending his adopted Commonwealth back
to the hearth-stone of the old Union than to be
Vice President of the United States. On con
sulting with mutual friends, and especially with
Mr. Lincoln, it was decided to insist upon his
presence. How warmly the departed sage re
garded "Andy Johnson" a hundred instances
might be cited to illustrate, His knowledge of
the citizen, the Senator, and the military gover
nor was sufficient to inspire confidence; and the
terrible sufferings of the hunted and' outlawed
refugee made Andrew Johnson the object of his
keenest sympathy. They were at Richmond al
most on the same occasion, and reached Wash
ington a few hours apart from. each other—in
time to hear the greatantelligence that closed the
rebellion. lam not of:those who think that
when two men, whom God seemed to have made
almost copies or counterparts--whose lives were
so alike, and whose patriotism so equal and so
genial—are suddenly severed by the bolt of death,
) it is a dispensation to be received if not with
something like satisfaction, at least with a very
ready resignation. I accept the decree. It
would be most impious to quarrel with the in
scrutable fate that permitted it, and I thank .
Heaven that *e have, in Andrew Johnson, a pa
triot so tried and so true, and so ready for the
fierce emergencies of the future?:, But the loss of
Abraham Lincoln cannot be replaced. It was as
if some great orb had fallen from eternal space
into everlasting chaos, jarring the whole earth,
. and making the very pillars of the skies to trem
ble. Our country is not.destroyed, but be who
saved it died in the effort of saving it, and. can no
more be replaced than the mother who gives her
own life for that of her offspring. And how be
yond all price is the example of Abraham Lin
coln. It has almost revolutionized parties. Not
nie strong word that Mr. Lincoln said when he
entered office, and maintained when he was most
violently assaildd, has ever been mollified and ex
plained, but rather literated and strengthened;
yet is it true that long before the assassin stole
away his life, be had almost conquered antago
nism and dumbfounded envious faction itself. - I
may be answered that, "Success wins sometimes
more than virtue;" and this is true of vulgar
minds. But Lincoln's Victory was 'in this: he
never let go the helm. bark, thick, and tefii
pestuous were many of the - heavy hours of the
past Tour years; but the star of hope shone stead
ily on the altar of his heart. The darkest month
of the year 1861 was the month of April; the .
darkest part of the year 1865 was the middle of
the month of April. The rebellion broke upon
us in the'first and ended in the last. The earli
est martyrs to the cause of liberty gave up their
lives in April, four years ago; and the most pus.
frions martyr of tbu century gave up his life in
April of 1865. We were unprepared for war In
April of 186.1 ; we were prepared for peace m
April of 1865 ; and when the faithful recorder
shall conic to compile the materials, for the illus
tration of the close of this mighty struggle, he
will be overawed to note that a month which
commenced with such fair prospects should have

On the 2d of April he annountt the triumphant
Ince es aof oar armies, after the days' hard fight

President that he had taken Petersburg and

treating army. On the 6th of April Sheridan,
and Humphreys and Meade and Wright repor
ted_ the continuous triumph of their conquering
columns. •On the 9th of April General Grant
telegraphed the Secretary of War that Lee had
surpendered the army of Northern Virginia upon
the terms proposed by himself.
On the 11th of April, al of gmtjtjAde to G o d,
forgiveness to his foes, and love for all, Mr. Lin
coln spoke from the windows of the Presidential
mansion these words- Which, precious as his last
on earth, sound like the syllables of inspiration as
we read them now. The rejoicing thousands had
called upon him the evening before, but that he
might weigh and condense his opinions he asked
for time to deliberate. - On the P2th we had an
other day of jubilee. and on the 13th the night was
set apart for .pe;:ial illumination. -Never did the
political capital of the nation - shine more resplen
dently in the robes of light. It was as if Peace
and Reconciliation had joined hands over the
graves of the illustrious dead : --as if war and woe
had fled to the extremest shades., The next was
Friday, the 14th of April—another morning of
happiness. But what a night As Igo back to
that:dreadful recollection, I go back to the fright
ful agony, that made millions mourn. I was in
Richmond when it was announced that Mr. Link
coin had been murdered. It seemed to me ag if
Nature had taken a pause—as if, between the
lading night- of war, and the dawning blushes of
peace stood our farewell sacrifice—as if having
just learned to love, to. revere, to depend upon
him, to place our cares and hopes in his keeping,
as in a sacred repository—he should be called
away. As Elijah was swept from earth to Hea
ven, so was our deliverer taken froinus. If there
is a solace for such a calamity, it is that he died
without shame, in the midst. of his glory, and at
the very threshold of the temple of a rescued and
purified Republic.
Nothing is more wonderful than to see how the
President gone, and the President here agree on
the questions of the day—the very issues, in fact,
which Mr. Lincoln may be said to have; died in
the very act of solving. Longyears ago AnZrew
Johnson denied.the right of any State to secede
from the Union. Ile insisted that rebellion could
not destroy a State government This doctrine,
universally accepted by loyal men from the first
day of the war, is now cheapened by some who
would hold it in abeyance to secure an imaginary
party advantage. As it is the very kernel of the
nut—the very gold of the mine—itt fact, the -vital
spirit of the Government—for which our soldiers
fought and our statesmen deliberated—it is worth
something to know exactly where these two rep
resentative characters stood in regard to it. Mr. -
Lincoln, on Tuesday evening, the I lth of April,
leiZ, in time last speech he ever made, thus met
the question, in terms substantially identical with
the words of Johnson in the Senate in 18150 and
1861, and in the Presidential canvas of 1864 :
_
- - -

wm
"We all agree that the seceded. States, so called,
are out of their proper practical relation with the
Union; and that the sole object of the Govern
ment, civil and military-, in regard tothose States.
is to again get them into that proper practical
relation. I believe it is not only it smble, but in
fa}t easier to do this, without deciding or even
,considering whether these States have ever been
out of the Union, than with it.
" Finding themselves safely at home, it would be
utterly immaterialithetlier they lied err,. been abroad.
Let us all join iu doing the acts necessary to re
storing the proper practical relations between
these Statt!s and the Union; and each forever af
ter innocently indulge his own, opinion whether,
in doing the acts, he brought the states from
without into the Union, or only gave them pro
per assistance, they never having been out of it.
The amount of constituency, so to speak,.on which
the new Louisiana Government rests, would be
more satisfactory to all, if it contained fifty, thirty
or even twenty thousand, instead of only about
twelve thousand as it really does.
"It is also unsatisfactory to some that the
elective franchise is not given to the colored man.
I LCOlLid prtfc r :kit it were now conferred
on the reeerntelligent and on those who serre our
cause as soldiers. Still the question is not wheth
er the Louisiana government, as it stands, is quite
all that is desirable: The question is • Will it be
wiser to take it as it is, and help to improve it;
or to reject and disperse it ?' Can Louisiana be
brought into proper practical relation with the
Union sooner by sustaining or by discarding her
new State government ?"
Ref!rnng to his former views the - new Presi
dent who succeeded Mr. Lincoln, said, in his speech
to the Indiana delegation, on the .2.2. d of kpril,
1865:
•'lJpon this idea of destroying States my posi
tion- has been heretofore well knon a, and 1 see
no.cause to change it now, and I am glad to hear
its on the present occasion. Some
are satisfied with the idea that States are to be
.lost in territorial and other divisions; are to lose
their character at States. But their life breath
has been only suspended, and it is a high constitu
tional obligation ire hare to secure each of these
States in the possession and enjoyment of a republi
can form of Gorernment. A State may be iu the
Government with a peculiar institution, and-by
the operation of the rebelliou lose that feature;
but it was a State when it went into rebelliwn, and
when it comes out without the institution it is still
a State.•'
The question of colored suffrage, which Mr.
Lincoln would give fn "the very intelligent," and
"to those who serve car cause as soldiers," is
thus met by President Johnson, m his address to
the South Carolina delegation, oil Saturday last:
" I will again sffytto you that slavery is gone. Its
status is changed. There is no hope you can en
tertain of being admitted to representatiomeither
iu the Senate or House of Representatives, till
you give evidence that you, ton, have accepted
and reeoguized that that institution is gone.
That done, the policy adopted is not to -restore
the supremacy of the Government at the point
of the bayonet, but by the action of the people.
While this rebellion - has emancipated a great
many negroes, it has emancipated stiff more
lute men. The negro in South Carolina that
belonged to a man who owned from one to fitls
hundred slaves, thought himself befter dam the
white man who owned pone. He felt the white
man's superior. I know the position of the poor
white man of the South, compelled to till the bar
ren, sandy, and poor soil for a subsistence. You
cannot deny how he was, in your eyes. of less
value than the negro. Some here iu the North
think they can controland exercise a greater in
fluence over the negro than you can, though his
future must materially depend on, you. Let us
speak plainly ou this subject. I too am a South
ern luau; have owned slaves, bought slaves, but
never sold one. You and I understand this bet
ter ; we know our friends are mistaken, and I
tell you that I don't want yon to have control of
these negro votes against the vote of this poor ,
NS bite man. I repeat, our friends here are Mis
taken, as you . : nd I know, as to where the coil-
trol of that negro vote would fall. When they
come to talk about the elective franchise, I say I
let each State judge for itself. I am for free
Government; for emancipation; and I am tbr
emancipating the white wan as well as the black
luau." -
It will be seem•therefore, that President Lin
coln, while recommending that " the very intelli
gent" negroes, and those who have fought-for the
tlag, should vote does not once propose that Con
gress shall take charge of the subject. All is left
to the States. President Johnson takes the same
ground iu stronger language. He believes if Con
gress,could confer the right of suffrage upon the
South Carolina implies, their former masters
would control them; and he emphatically de
clares that he does not desire thi•, to be so, used
as these votes would be against the poor whites
ef the State, and fot the/benefit of the aristocra
cy of the soil. I might add many other sustaining
thoughts. Tile danger of giving to Congress the
right to regulate suffrage now is that it may be
used hereafter to enable a were party majority
to oppress a State or section. In all the so-call
ed seceding States, save two, the white popular
tion exceeds the colored; and in most of them.
largely so. The white people of those States,
with almost entire unanimity, are intensely hos
tile to the principle of regro suffrage. However
unreasonable or unjust this hostility May, be, it is
a fact which stares us in the face, and with which
the Government is compelled to deal. If, in re
organizing these States preparatory to their full
reinstatement iu the Union, the right of the :a
grees to vote should be guaranteed to them by
the interposition of the General Government ,
would it not have the effect of so uniting the
white voters, in all elections, upon candidates of
their own exclusive selection that the colored Vo
ters, being in the minority, would be rendered ut
terly powerless? Even in the States of South
c o mm . a.and M, ssippi, where the are
in the majority, it is by no means probable that
at a first election they would' be able to rally to
the polls in suScient , ftmrabers to outvote the
more intelligent thouglFless numerous race. It
would take time for them to learn that they had
the right to vote; and even if aware of the right,
they would scarcely have the intelligence neces
iary to its exercise in any effective manner. If
the effect would be so to unite all white voters
on the stuns candidates as utterly to nullify the
political power of the negroes, would the,ren
elected under such circumstances, probably bh of
the class most favorable to the amelioration of
the condition of the colored populationl. These
are practical considerations which it will notdo
to wholly ignore in our eagerness to establish ab
stract principles of right and justice., .

But let tis leave the question to time—to the
care of ,a loyal Congress—to the vigilant fidelity
of a devoted Union President, who proclaimed
himself the friend of the masses of the - colored
race of Tennessee, and will never allow them to
be oppressed_ by their -recent masters,_lt _will
not be many days before these latter realize, by •
the best evidences, that the only way to sectire,
the admission of their Senators and members to
Congress is to adopt the amendment of the Con
stitution abolishing slavery to provide for the
education of the colored population, and for the
payment of colored labor by a wise and generous
plan, and to repeal the odious penal_ codes made
necessary by the accursed system ofslarery. Till
these things are secured, they will be - kept out of
the halls of the nation's legislature. When they
are secured, the American citizen of African de
scent will have a chance to fit fkiinself for thatrsa•.
cred citizenship which ought never to have been
bestowed - upon ignorant or lazy men, white or
black. Both Lincoln and Johnson agree, there
fore, that there can be no destruction of State
sovereignty by secession—that the question of
suffrage belongs to the States, and not to Con
gress—and that slavery is dead by military suc
cess, by Executive proclamation, by Congress
ional statute, and by the acts soon to be comple
ted by three-fourths of the States, ratifying the
amendment of the National Constitution forever
abolishing it.

A. 8AJ..1.00:c DUEL—Perhaps the most remark
able dhel ever fought took place in 1803. It was
peculiarly French in its tone, and could hardly
have occurred under any other than a French
state of society. M. Le Granpre and M. Le Pique
bad a quarrel, arising out of jealousy concerning a
lady engaged at the Imperial Opera. They agreed
to fight a duel to settle their respective claims ;
and in order that the heat of angry passion should
not interfere with the polished elegance of the
proceeding, they postponed the duel for a month,
the lady agreeing to bestow her sidles on the sur
vivor of the two, if the other waslilled ; or, at
all events, this was inferred by the two men, if
not actually expressed. The duelists were fight
ing in the air. Two balloons were constructed
precisely alike. 'On the day denoted, Le Granpre
and his second entered the car of one balloon, Le
Pique and his second that of the other; it was iu
the Garden of .the Tuileries, amid the immense
concourse of spectators.' The gentleman were to
fire, not at each other, but at each other's bal
loons, in order to bring them down by the escape
of gas ; and, as might hardly have served
the purpose, each mronant took a blonderbus in
his car. At a given signal the ropes that retained
the cars were cut, and the balloons ascended.
The wind was moderatt, and kept the balloons
in about their original distance of eighty yards
apart. When half a Mile above the surface of
the earth, a preconcerted signal for firing was
given. M. Le Pique fired but missed. M. Le
Granpre fired and sent a hall through Le Pique's
balloon. The balloon collapsed, the car descended
with frightful rapidity, nod Le Pique and his
second were dashed to pieces. Le Granpre con
tinued his' ascent triumphantly, and terminated
his mrial voyage successfully at a distance of seven
leagues from Paris.
