sfhe |avmcr'<s Department. Stirring the Soil. The following editorial article in » the July number of the II orkmg Farmer deserves attention —not 011 accohnt of it containing anything particularly new, but because it very clearly explains a fact in regard to the cultivation ofthe soil which isofthe highest importance to every farmer, and not nearly so well understood or appreciated as it ought to be. Nature requires assistance in the production of crops, or the growth of weeds will far outstrip that of the cultivated plant. It is not simply sowing and planting, which are so generally considered as constituting the farmer's busy season, that will insure large returns to the husband man, but the persistent disturbance of the surface and sub-soil, so as to accomplish their thorough and contin uous aeration until the growing plant has attained such a condition of ma turity as to take euro ol itself. In deed, if there is a period in the du ration of the "busy season" on the farm, which demands superlative in dustry as the condition of successful agriculture, it is the month or two which immediately succeeds the ger mination of seeds, when innumerable weeds spring into vigorous growth es pecially upon such rich oils, and the intense heat of the sun bakes and hardens'the surface of the ground until it becomes literally th" agricult ural pie-crust, which the air, charged with fertilizing dews, cannot pene trate and from which the moisture ; so necessary to the sustenance of plants and their appropriation of the j soluble constituents of the soil andofj manures, has been abstracted by a j dense grow th of weeds and grasses. , For it must be observed that the j latter, in addition to the consumption | of plant-food, are inveiterate devour- j ers of all the inoi stare within reach, so that the soil overgrown by weeds, ! however rich in manures, is unfit for the nourishment of plants, on ac count of the drouth prevailing be neath the surface. This fact may he j readily proved by examining a spot j of fallow ground in comparison with j one sustaining a luxuriant growth of vegetation. In one case, the fallow ground appears dry and dusty: in the ' other the refreshing greenness of the j grass leads us to infer that there the soil is moist and in no danger of drouth- Rut the contrary is the fact; for on disturbance the surface of the bare spot of soil, we shall find it full of moisture, while underneath the grass plot not a sign of water will usually ' be discovered in a dry time. This plainly shows that in order to afford crops the moisture necessary to per fect their growth, we must not allow weeds,to spring up and supplant them during any stage of their progress ; and to insure the destruction of weeds, j the hoc and horse implements, espe- j cially the latter, must be brought in to constant requisition. From the above remarks, the ob servant reader will draw two impor tant conclusions. The constant cul tivation of crops is necessary both for the destruction of weeds and grass- j es, and also the admission of air throughout the texture of the soil, ; whereby the water always resident in the atmosphere may be deposited in tlrt? form of dews, and carried by capillary attraction from the roots of plants throughout their entire organ- ; ism. This result cannot be achieved except by the aeration of the soil through its constant disturbance by the hoe, the cultivator and the sub soil plow. The hoe and the culiva- j tor, striking a few .inches below the I surface, break the crust which ob structs the admission of air, and thus not only destroys the incipient growth of weeds, but obviates the effects of drouth, while the soil is enriched by thf fertilizing gasses with which the jitmosphcre is ever laden. The sub soil plow acts still more efficiently in the same direction. Running to the depth of ten or twelve inches be tween the raws of corn, potatoes, turnip or other row crops, it lifts the soil continuously several inches from the bottom altering the mechanical relations of all its particles,and leav ing it in a ltfbse and friable condition, easily penetrated by the roots of plants and aerated through all its ex tent by thesuperincunbnntatmosphere. Briefly, therefore, it may be said that the incessant cultivation and reration of the soil between the rows or hills of growing crops is of equal importance to supplying them with manure. In fact manures may be dispensed with for years—though to the ultimate injury of the soil—pro vided cultivation is sustained without dangerous interregnums, during the growth of plants, and the prepara tion of soil for subsequent crops an swers the requirments of the case. Without the last named requisites, the application of manures, however liberally supplied to the land, will not insure large crops to the agricult urist, for not only fertilization from outside source, but the presence in the soil of all conditions of vigorous and healthy growth, are essential to the largest results from the opera tions of the farm. ■ The proximates of the soil as well as*the valuable portions of manures fitted for appro priation as food for plants, are on ly soluble in water, and without its aid cannot be made available to crops. A thorough aeration of the soil will go far to supply the necessary mois ture even in seasons of drouth. (Educational Jqmvtmmt. Self-Command. I think it should bo the first object of every teacher to gain command over self. For certainly, the teacher, like! every oth er person having a command, sbou'd, be able to control himself or herself. The commander of an.army, or the captain of a ship, only begins to succeed, when once he is able to staird before Jus subjects un der perfect self-control. >So, likewise, the teacher; let him stand before his pupils agitated by some passion, and the right arm of bis authority is at once deprived of its power. More especially if the pu pils themselves arc excited, does it become the teacher by bis own calmness to pacify the gathering storm of passion. Through want of experience and self-discipline, the pupils frequently imagine, that they are receiving wrongs at the hands (if their fellow studeuts, or even their teachers; perhaps they are —and not unfrequently there is quite a storm. But in the midst of this excitement, let their teacher enter. If he is a man of self-possession and cool ness. be calms the risingstorin with scarce ly the utterance of a word. Such a tench- j er only can maintain the control of the ! vast majority of pupils in the district school j I'ut after all, it is not only occasions like this, where unusual excitement prevails, that the teacher most stands in need of this power of self-command. Yet, if he be nerved for a'crisis, ho will always find himself prcpnftd to meet tho trial with calmness and entire self-possession. It is in the ordinary occurrences of every day school-life, that he should most guard himself against loss of command. The recitations will not always be correct, nei ther will the pupils always be circumspect; and many things will transpire <o ruffle the temper. But the teacher should guard himself against yielding to flic bad influ ence of these minor trials, and endeavor to attain a patient, benevolent and cheer ful disposition under every circumstance. MINNIE. Be, If or, I Inquirer. Truthfulness. If there is one element in tho consti tution of moral character which should be bettor cultivated or more cared fur than another, that element certainly is Truth fulness. Our youth, as soon as they arc able to talk or understand, should bo tau't that Truth is an outgrowth of our best nature, which alone can lead us to honor * blc distinction in life. To place anything about which- we converse, in its proper and true light, should bo tho chiof end of all conversation ; and conversation sub versive of this end is mischievous, and its votary is unworthy a place in society.— And not only in our .conversation but con duct, veracity should characterize our ac tions as well, for wo can act the truth as well as speak the truth, or act falsehood as well as speak falsehood. But what is Truthfulness ? First—one of its important elements is correctness in ascertaining facts. This is essential to the love of Trufh. We should exercise the greatest earo respecting every state ment which we receive as true, and not receive it as tnu' until we are satisfied that the authority upon which it is assor ted is of such a character as not to admit of a single doubt, and that tho statement contains all the facts to which our atten tion should be directed. Unless we are thus guarded we are often led by the out ward appearance certain statements bear, to accept as true that which turns out to have no truth in it, and very likely we have not made this discovery until we have assisted in its circulation. The prac tice of this sincere and candid search af ter truth, on every subject to which tho mind may be directed, ought to be culti vated in early life, with the most untiring care. a. habit of the mind which must have a most important influence in the culture of moral and intellectual char acter. If we should be careful in receiv ing correct statements, woshould be equal ly as careful in giving correct state ments. Wo should weigh well what wo arc •about to promulgate, and not only ascer tain its Truthfulness, but also its fiitness for the public ear. We should -ascertain whether it is a general principle or a mat ter of but rare occurrence. For some times, by relating a circumstance which may have happened but very rarely, we may, by our peculiar mode of stating it, convey the idea that the circumstances is .genejirl in all its bearings, when just the opposite meaning should be conveyed Many statements though true in word, to the letter, arc related in such a manner and under such circumstances as to make a false impression and to lead to false con clusions. There are certain actions in the lives of individuals, who are upright" and liouest, which if related under cer tain circumstances, would be directly op posed to uprighthuess and honesty.. On the other hand, certain actions if made manifest would be taken as an evidence of purity aud virtue if unaccompanied by their associate actions, aud an opinion of character might be formed upon a wrong basis or by a false measure. The person who has a character noted for Truthfulness will associate ideas and cir cumstance, aud determine by this means the true bearing of every statement. lie will not only see whether it is true in the. / abstract, or, if taken by itself whether it would be a safe guide in pronouncing judgment upon character; but he will ex amine every statement associated with that one which seems to be most promi nent, and after thus barefully scanning it, he will finally study the impression it might make if placod before the world. Another important element in truthful ness is the fulfilling of promise to the let ter. We should never make a promise when there is any natural obstacle in the way of its fulfillment. Before saying what we will do in the future, we should, examine well the obligations we an un der, and then take upon us no obligation that would conflict with any previous one. or that would hinder the fulfillment of either. The person whose truthfulness is fully developed will fulfill evejry engage ment at all hazards, though it bo to his own detriment. In the language of the wise man, '• lie will swear to his own hurt, and change not." in consideration of the above facts, would it not bo well for teachers and pa rents to consider that to cultivate Truth fulness should be the chief end of all men tal and moral discipline, and unlcs this end be in view all our training will be vain.— Hunting!* n (Hobe. CilAMßKHsni'liO, July ill.-rOn the morning of the 150 th of July 1H64. the rebels, under the command of M'Caus land, with a force of about 500 men en tered Ohambersburg. I'a.. and ordered •"500,000 from the citizens under threat of burning the town. This requisition, was in writing and was signed by General Early. It is gow established by indis putable proof that this demand was a lucre pretext on the part of the marauders to cover up a purpose formed before they reached the town—to burn it-to the ground without giving any time to remove private property, and scarcely time enough for the citizens to remove their families.— They fired the houses of our citizens in perhaps fifty places. Over 250 houses in the heart of the town were consumed, in cluding all the public buildings, stores and" lintels comprising about two-thirds oi a town containing 0,000 inhabitants. Thus a large body of citizens arc re duced from comparative wealth to abso lute poverty. Many families have lost all their bedding and clothing, oxcept such as (hey had on their persons. '1 he loss will be largely over one million of dol lars. Without aid from abroad, there will be great suffering in our commuuity. NASHVILLE, July !>O. In the battle of the 28th our loss was Ijss than t>oo. Tho rebel loss is estima ted by <!cn. Howard at 5,000. We buri ed litli dead rebels and more left uuburi ed. Our forces in this engagement were covered while those of the" enemy were exposed. The rebel generals Stuart. I.ong and S. I>. Lowrie were severely wounded. Authentic and official infor mation placos the total rebel loss since the investment of Atlanta considerably above 2.<100. Kvorything is progressing favora bly. Tho army is in good condition and spirits. NEW YORK, July 2!>.— The Fal met to Herald of the 21st states that Admiral Dahlgrcn had left for Charleston Harbor. Fort Sumter is undergoing another destructive bom bardment from our batteries and fleet. The firing was very slow but accurate, and serious.damage result ed to some ofthe strongest portions of the fort. The fire on Charleston is still kept up. The work of erecting residences for rebel prisoners progresses, though the rebels annoy the workmen to the extent of their ability by shelling the buildings. Gen. Foster's late expedition cre ated a great scare in Savannah. The rams were removed down to the obstructions in the river, and Gen. Johnson sent a brigade of Georgia troops to Savannah which was diver ted tit Augusta to Johns Islned, where they participated in the light of the 9th- i BU The supply af water to the army at Petersburg appears to be ample, though the retiel papers are Congratulating themseles on the .-us posed suffering of our troops from the late drought. The Virginians did not appear.to know that the boys are not afraid of labor when it con-, conducts to their comfort and conve nience, and instead of depending up on the river they, went to work and dug wells, and no country vil lage shows more wells with buckets slung on poles than the Union camp, yie'ding cool, clear and refre'shiug water, some of the wells being forty feet, deep. The rebels, therefore can take care of twcnty-five«per cent, of the losses they estimate in the Union army, from the privations they say it undergoes, the absence of their water being one of the worst they mention. STAMPEDE FROM. ATLANTA.—An old gentleman just from Atlanta, too old for the rebels to conscript, states that the stampede from that place exceeds any .thiug he ever witnessed. Atlanta was a favorite resort for the exiled aristocracy of Tennessee and Kentucky; many had built fine mansions there, assured that the Yankees would never be able to njolest thein ; and all these are getting their val | Uiiblcs and their valuable persons out of danger ftith all tho alacrity possible.— There are. however, many old citizens de termined to remain, and many will accept the aumosty oath. A brother of General Grant, who recently visited the General at his headquarters, asked liitn, "Ulyses 'how many men have you ? " "I have a good many!" replied tho wise I man. i . | I.EtIAI.

And this unprecedented currency it has achieved by very liberal expenditures in procuring j early and authentic int< lligcm e. by the fearless expre*- i tdon 4.f convictions, by the free employment of ability sud ; industry wherever it might contribute to excellence in any department of our enterprise, and by uushrinking fidelity to the dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Free dom.
