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.

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.

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.

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

Of the Fi-er, Sl.if.-i un>f the repudiation of the Mi-soui i j

movement, and was known as Republican. When the
