r I! 1 —; jji - ;■ . ». |at'mcrsi Department flifcts to Thriftless Farmers. In almost every agricultural com munity are to be found men calling tfaemsolves farmers, who, to say the least of them, are not as thriving and prosperous as others would like to see them. For no well-wisher of bit* race desires to see his neighbor unthrifty. No one who cares for the reputation of bis neighborhood, or the reputed value of his own property, wishes to see the property or the condition of those around him deteriorating. No lover of his country and of a sound political economy likes to see the re sources of hid town or of the country unproductive from mismanagement. We ara aware that many in all classes of business meet with ill. suc cess and discouragement from ill health,from sickness or death in fam ilies, or from othor unavoidable mis fortunes. But we have no reference to these. We allude to those whose ill success arises from causes within their own control. Permit us just to allude to some of these causes in the form of a few . practical hints. Perhaps it may i help us— . j "To se* onrselvc* ns Pliers see at, And thuifrae tnonv a blunder free u« M 1. Live largely by borrowing, j sagely cenrlading that you cannot , afford to buy or make your own tools. i till you get a little beforehand. 2- After year 3 of experience in borrowing of accomodating neigh bors, convince yourself that it cheaper to borrow than to buy. and keep on borrowing. Never keep a supply of sHch c«umion tools as har rows, plows, manure forks, and hoes, as long as you eau set them by going after them ; and if you chance to break one. return i: in t'. it condition, and say that you tV.ink it must have 1 been cracked when you borrowed it. 3. Attend all the farm auctions you hear of, and bid off all the old wagons and worn-out implements j that you think are going cheap, in cludjtig;'any quantity" of "old trum pery" that the owners have long thrown by as useless. Should your j new purchase need repairs, or break down soon, leave them on the road- ' side for future repairs ; but do not; disturb them again till they are rot-j ■ten, scattered or gone. 4. When any vehicle or tool par-! tially fails, or shows signs of weak ness, keep on using it thus, (thinking ! it will hold this time,) till it comes to j a general "smash upthen throw i( by till you can get it repaired, (which you should mind never to do,) and borrow your neighbor's till next auc- j tion. 5. Never think "of mending a tool ! till you want to use it. As you can not stop to mend it then, leave it I unmended till you are otherwise pro vided, and conclude not to men! it at ; all. 6. Keep the waysides along your premises filled up with pieces of wag- J ons, carts, sleds, coal boxes, hay rig gings, supernatural harrows, old boards, rotten logs,rails and lumber. 7. Never do your haying till your grass gets dead ripe, your neighbor's through, the days shorter, and labor cheaper. Never dig your potatoes , till after one hard freeze up, thus los part of your crop by the freezing of those near the surface- In short., never do any sort of work till you see you cannot put it off any longer, i 8. Never have more tahn one load of wood up to your door at a time; j nor any more of that cut, ready to j use, than is necessary to last over 1 night or over the Sabbath. — Far-, mer and Gardmer. TBSL. Mrs. Kirkland has very tru -y said that woman is never reall v and healthily happy, without house hold cares. But to perform house work is too frequently considered de r grading. Even where the mother, in obedience to the tradition of her youth condescends to labor occasion ally, the daughters are brought up in perfect idleness, take no bodily exer cise except that of walking in fine weather, or riding in cushioned carria ges, or dancing at a party. Those, in short, who can afford servants, con not demean themselves, as they think, by domestic labors. The result is too frequently, that ladies of this class lose what little health they star ted life with, becoming feeble in just about the proportion they become fashionable. In this neglect of house hold cares, American ladies stand 1 alone. A German lady, no matter how elevated her rank, never forgets that domestic labors conduce to the health of mind and body alike. An English lady, whatever may be her position in society, does not neglect the affairs of her houshold, and even though she may have a housekeeper, devotes a portion of time to this, her trust and happiest sphere. A con trary course to this, results in a las situde of mind often as fatal to hea'th, as the neglect of bodily exercise. The wife who leaves her household cares to the domestics'generally pays the penalty which has besn affixed to idleness since the foundation of the world, and it either wilts away from sheer ennui, or is driven into all sorts j of fashionable follies to find employ ment for her mind. If household cares were more generally attended to by ladies of the family, there would be comparatively little backbiting, gos aipping, envy und.other kindred sins, «nd womon in good society would be vauch happier and much more truly •good.— Farmer and Gardmer.. A "Secret" in Potato Planting. A correspondent sends the follow ing to the Rural New Yorker : Icm I give some valuable inf< rmation on ; raising potatoes. I have been in 1 possession of a secret for the last i three years, that I know to be very ' valuable and which should be gener ally known, as the season is now at hand to put it in practice. This new plan i3 most important in dry seasons, as double the weight can be raised on quite poor land. Now, I will tell you how. I manage; premising that I never knew potatoes to rot in the ground, and that I now am sixty three years old. I plant my pota toes in the latter part of April or the first of May, and in 'the old of the moon.' When they get six inches high, I plaster and dress them out nicely. Now for a secret. When the sets show for blossoming, then is the time, take two part plaster and orte part fine salt; mix well together, and put one large spoonful of this compound on each hill; drop as near the centre as possible. Just as softn as the potatoes are ripe, take them out of tne ground ; have them per fectly dry, then putin the cellar, and keep them in a dry cool place. Some farmers let their potatoes rer main on the ground, soaking through all the cold fall rains, until the snow falls. The potatoes become diseased in this way xnofe and more every year; henco the potato rot. With such management they should rot. — Far mer and Gardener. PRESERVATION OF EGGS. —A wri ter in the Boston Cultivator #ays : The best method I know of to pre serve eggs, is to fill the pores of the shell with fresh, clean lard, so as to ■exclude all the air. It is my opin ion that this simple and easy method is preferable to any now in use. Sonic put them in lime water ; some lay them down in salt; some put them in saw dust. But the lime cooks them, so that they have a dried ap pearance ; salt has a similar effect while eggs saturated with lard, as far as my experience goes, open fresh and nice. In Paris, however, where they un derstand these things thoroughly, eggs are preserved by immersion in hot water, as follows :—Water is made to boil in a kettle ; a dozen eggs are put into a cullender, which is plunged into the kettle, left there about a minute, and withdrawn with eggs. By this means a thin layer of yolk becomes Coagulated, and forms in the interior surface of the shell a sort of coating which opposes itself to the evaporation of the sub stance of the egg, and consequently to the contact of the air which rushes into fill the void left by the evapora tion. LARUE CATTLE. — An ox, said to be the largest ever slaughtered in California, was to be seen in Washington Market this week. It was a California-grown an imal, raised "on the ranch of John Keyes, of Tomales, and fatted by Thomas R. Cook, of San Francisco. The live weight of the monster animal was 2,440 pounds, or nearly 1J tons, and the net weight of the carcass, after slaughtering, was 1,607 pounds. In the same market was the carcass of an imported Durham ox, fatted at Santa Clara, which weighed only 141 pounds less.—Antimbcr of other choice cattle have been slaughtered for Christ mas beef by the different butchers. FACTS FOR FARMERS. —If you invest money in tools and then leave them ex posed to the weather, it is the same as loaning money to a spendthrift without security— a dead loss in both cases. If you invest money in fine stock, and do not feci and protect them, and prop erly care for them, it is the same as dress ing your wife in silk to do kitchen work. If you invest your money in a good farm and do not cultivate it well, it is the same as marrying a good wife, and so en slaving her as to crush her energies and broak her heart. COVERED MANURES.—A late num ber of the Journal of Agriculture contains a statement of the result of an experiment made to determine rhe relative value of manure made under cover, and that exposed in the barn yard. Both manures wercapplied to potatoes in equal quantities. The yield on equal portions of land were as follows : Manure from barn-yard, 252 bushels per acre ; manure made under cover, 297 bushels per acre. LATE MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. — A dispatch from Nashville states that all the railroads leading from Atlanta, exept the Macon road, have been destroyed. Op erations in frunt of Atlanta are going on satisfactorily. In the battles in the front of the town, our forces almost annihi lates two of the enemy's best corps. All the prisoners captured uuite in saying that the rebel general Ilood was killed an the 22d instant. Major General Rousseau's raid is represented to have been the most successful one during the war. Our total loss was five killed and thirteen wounded. He captured and paroled two thousand rebels, and killed and wounded twohundred. He also cap tured about eight hundred horses and mules, and about the same number of con trabands. He destroyedabout thirty-one miles of railroad, and great, quantities of stores, cotton, &e. thirteen railroad depots at points on the Atlanta and Montgom ery Railroad were burned. The Rich mond papers, very refreshingly, claim a decided victory at Atlanta, declaring that '•the Federals were driven back with heavy loss." ii ■»■ ii l . _l LJ j From Gnn. Nherman. I Plsprrtch toTMtteTrorgSlCamniwctal. WASHIXOTOS, Jnly 24. : Gen. Hood's attack at Atlanta was j concentrated against Newton's divi j sioa, and ward's, Greary'a and Wil j liams' division of Hooker's corps, j and Johnson's division of Palmer's i corps. The attack was very fierce ! and determined, but the battle ended ; with the repulse and complete defeat j of the rebels at all points, leaving I their dead and wounded in our hands, and the entire field in our possession. ; The loss in Newton's division was on ; ly one hundred, being protected by an excellent barricade blade of rails. Hooker's corps at the same time was I Slaking an advance, and therefore i had an open field tight with the ene i my. The loss in his corps is 1.500 Gen. Hooker estimates the number : of rebel wounded lying in his front at the close of the engagement at 4,000. j At the date of Gen. Sherman's dis -1 patch Gens. Thomas, McPherson and | Schofield were within easy shelling distance of the of Atlanta. A later unofficial dispatch to-day j says Gen. Thomas reports that we hold Atlanta. WASHINGTON, July 23.—The JVa | tional Republican Extra says the I government is in receipt of to-day from the telegraph 'operator |at Chattanooga, in the following words:—"Atlanta is not ours yet. j Our fosces find strong opposition. It seems that we are inpossession of part of the city, but the enemy I holds the rest." The Republican I Extra has the following conccrn | ing the battle before Atlanta, on | Wednesday last: An official dis patch from Gen. Sherman states that after the battle of • that day Gen. Howard, commanding the 4th corps, : sent word that he had burried 200 j dead rebels in front of his lines, and a large number of wounded were cap tured on the field. Gen. Hooker, commanding the 10th corps, in ad vancing his lines Wednesday met the enemy in an open field and a battle j lasting several hours was the result. | After the battle Gen. Hooker report i cd to General Sherman as follows: j "I have burried 400 dead and 4,000 wounded lay in my front." * LOUISVILLE, July 23. Major Norcross, Local Paymas | ter, at Chattanooga, telegraphs Maj. Allen, Chief Paymaster, that Major I Gen. McPherson was killed to-day before Atlanta.

Janies Guthrie of his characteristic method of dealing with men who undertook to deal improperly with the exigencies of their country. Contractors followed General Jackson's army' far into the Indian country, and when they began to puffer for provisions, some of these dealers beg§m to ask fabulous prices for. their provisions. Jackson was at length informed of their extortionate demand, and he summoned them before him, and attempted an ap peal to their patriotism. lie found that soil perfectly sterile. At length he or dered a body of officers to appraise the goods, and allowed the owners a liberal profit, and then he showed the owners the appraisement, lie offered to take their provisions at this' appraisement. They refused to sell, and Jackson, deter mined that his soldiers should not starve, ordered the rations to be distributed, and a faithful account to be kept. As soon as the owners saw their provi sions disappearing they waited upon Gen. Jackson and agreed to accept his terms. Every thing went on until he offered in payment United- States Treasury notes. They refused to take them, and demand ed gold. Jackson reasoned with them un til he found they were inexorable in their demand. lie then ordered a file of sold cirs to be detailed, two of them with axes to place the unpatriotic owners on the flatboats on which their goods had been stored. General Jacksou said that after he had placed them on the boats, he mado what he told them was his last ap peal, and at the last moment they con sented to take the treasury notes. He pause at this part of the statement, until Mr. Guthrie asked ham what he intended to do in case of a persistent refusal. The old patriot that he "would have ordered the two soldiers armed with axes to out the cables, and the fellows on board might have floated to hell or Texas, he would not have eared which." lie said" a man who would uot trust his country when engaged in war, was not fit to live."— Louisville Press. TIIF. MAGNITUDE OF THE ISSUE. Gov. Brown, of Georgia, issued a proc lamation to the jieople of that State on the 9th of July. which shows the appreciation which the authorities in that quarter have of the situation. He fully and freely ad mits that the destruction of Johnston's army would throw open to us all the Gulf States, aud cousummate the Confederate ruin. May God grant that this shall be the speedy result. The promise, so far is good.— l'itts Com.

When new Issues dissolved dr transformed old organi zations through the spontaneous uprising of thy people j of the Free States against the repudiation of the Musouri Restriction, The Tribune heartily participated in that movement, and was known as Republican. When the I Ion?? •"'inolderlng conspiracy to divide' and destroy our 1 country or reduce it entire to complete abasement to the I Slave power culminated in overt treason and rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resistance to this con ! gpiracy us paramount to all other considerations, and de j voted all its energies and efforts to the maintenance of onr ; Union. In every great controversy which has divided hurcountry, it has been fw*ind on that side which natu rally commands the sympathv and support of the large majority of school-houses and the decided minority *ef grog-shop*, and so doubtless will be to to the last. Ardently desiring am! strlvln for the early fltad endu rirg adjustment of our National distractions,The Tribune leaves thetime. the nature and the conditions of that ad justment implicitly tti those lawfully In authority, con- i tiding In their wisdom and patriotism, anxious to aid them to the utmost in their arduous responsibilities ami not to embarrass them even by possibility.
