If we spade the gaonnd deeply during a drouth, and«the ground is hard and dry, we find it soon be -otnes moist | by lifting thn grouud and exposing it while cool to the warmer air of eur toot summers, the vapor which is al ways in the air is condensed or de posited on the newly-exposed sur face, and is, as often as repeated du ring tbe drouth, of the most decided benefit But after the rain has come let the ground rest until it becomes again dry enough to pulveizo when moved. No person who has ever us ed a spade and his eyes at the same time, can fail to see this. But a very large majority practice the very re verse of this. Their ground is so hard and so baked that nothing can be done until the rain comes, so that the crop "s ruined waiting on provi dence, to Send a shower. Ii is of no use,,efty these grumblers, to contend agiinst natnre. We have got a bad season, says one, -an lit is of no use killing ourselves iri try : ng to coax a crop to grow in a bal season, and we ain't a-going to try, I drove to the vilage On last Monday, the 12th, and found plenty of monrners for the drouth standing round and bewailing the dry weather. "Well" says I, ""if you hav< anything to do before the rain cornea, you had better be about it, for it is coming." "Ay, but when?" "O.in a day or two— this week certainly," says I, "How did you find that out?" ays one.— "Well, IK) matter now, I have 110 t'me to explain; but come to my place some time and 1 will show you; bnt the rain s ct rtainly coming.— So get our cabbages, plant your tur nip seed, and I will warrant they will grow." Sure enough on the Wednesday the rain came and continued coming; and now we have enough. It was a glorioes and abundant rain, not a shower, but a succession 112 showers for three days. Bat said Mr. (iriiT.- bler, " Tell us how you knew the r.iin was coming. "We 1.1 w'il.

It may not be reasonable to expect perfect, and immediate acquies cence, that the South will in a day con form to the new state of things. She has been revolutionized in everything, and time has not been allowed her to get over her bewilderment. Give it to her. Hut should she prove refractory again, noth ing than that Ihe will and the way exist to reduce her to the standard of Christian civilization. Let her not therefore, attempt to resist enfranchise ment of the colored race, and ultimately the bestowment of the vote. It will sure ly come to this. Tt is something neces sary to complete tbe war. and thoroughly put down the rebellion. Tbe bestowal of the right of suffrage will be immediate or remote, ace r ling to the spirit mani fested by the South. The thing is plain. \ 1; W SIT r, Ms. —The piedmont region Virginia extend from the Potomac to the No th Carolina line, and from the head of the tidewater to the Blue Ridge, embracing an aT-ea of from fiisteen to eighteen thousand square miles- 'he agricultural advantages 112 this pat of the State are not sur passed by these of any portion of the Union.

Greek, Roman Indi an, German, Celtic and African phi losophers arc all represented in this strange volume, which is in the opin ion of the author, to supersede the Holy Bible. —lll a negro class meeting at Rich mond, Sam Johnson was called up t<> pray ; and before he had closed his prayer, the leader called out: "Sam Johnson, you may take your seat, and let Cuff Sugden pray ; he is bet ter acquainted wid de Lord dan you." Another was called upon to speak, and after speaking about five min utes he was called to order, and told if he not speak " more to the point dan dat, he might take his seat." —llarrisbur'h is said to be filled with incendiaries. A largo number of fires have occured within a short period, anil that,* too, in the very heart of the city. A town meeting was called by the mayor on Saturday list, to adopt, measures for securing property against the visits of these vandals. The guards over Govern merit property have been doubled. The different wards of the city are patroled dur'ng the night by squads of citizens. —Notwithstanding the immense sales of horses and mules that nave been made by tne government, at Washington and in the country north within the lass six weeks, the officia 1 reports of last Tuesday show that there yet remain in and around Washington about 107,000.
