We speak of them as a party, always willing and glad to applaud individual exceptions. Gen. HALPINE, familiarly known.; as " Miles O'Reilly," comes to the defence of Gen. GRANT in the following true an'a forcible language: It is altogether probable, só far as I cap rum see, that The Citizen (meaning his own paper) may be obliged to'opposothe election of Gen.

'Let me, there fore, after full examination, denounce all these recent charges affecting Gen. GRANT'S habits as utter and damnable lies," Gen. HALPINR is an avowed enemy of the Republican..party ancl all its mea, sures, and, therefore, his testimony upon this.subject cannot be said to be influenc ed by party prejudice. We do not pub lish the remarks of " Miles O'Reilly" to refute the absurd charge of intemperance' which has been go industriously circu lated 'of late, but simply as a rebuke to those who would knowingly and, design edly injure the character of a great Sol -dier, " by= utter and degmable lies," for the simide reason of gratifying a politi cal animosity which has its origin in their fear of his strength. • Gen. GRANT'S enemies, from the Pre ' maligner in the country, hay& thus ,far failed to do him aught;_of, injury with the people, and the same rebult'will at -fend their every effort hereafter.

'Mr, O'Meara, an hinkeeper,. swears that his house wns:filled with Irish colonists from Clearfield, and that he was engaged and paid for aiding the. fraud.

There is, amongst fanners, as gPiiat _alliversity_Of opinion _upon this subject as, upon any otiherlo which their thoughts havo -been directed: It, is really a_remarkable :filet; that upon-a subject, - with which walla - Ye -- an boon, constantly dealing, Wo should not Jong: since,,:havo.,:arrivCCnt-sonartieertqin r'gCMCliisl6nT but :Jar from - it, , the. more swe-learn-from-experionce-the more..do,wo_ ! diverge frOM' any agreement on the sub ject. 'This, perhaps, is attributable to several causes. • WO have-not here,_asthey have in older countries, confined our exertions to a single operation. - In England and-Germany very much of; their land is devoted to the raising of beets, : turnips and root crops gen erally, as food for cattle, only diversifying their labors,to the extent rendered necessary to lay,lca - propel< rotation and, therefove,: they do not produce'gra' r enough in these• countries for their own übsistanco: They have - Escove - HEthatraising roatS and breed= ineand feeding cattle and sheep,..produce the most profitable results, and their atten;: tion and skill aro directed to that object. We have not arrived at such perfection in agricultural calculations ns : to onable• us lo depart from the regular routine of raising everything of which our soil and climate are capable. We are heard constantly to assert that wo agnnotnogipetawith-the great West, in raising - cattle and hugs and'hories, and wo aro only thus engaged co far as is neces -sary-to-supply our-own-wants. - The-whole subject, in our opinion, resolves itself into the exercise of our judgment as to what are out: farm and'situations best adapied. If our farm be-composed-of- meadow and upland, and we be located near a town or. an eaten side manufacturing people, there is nothing. we nark- raise which- will produce half the profit as that which we call "small market ing"—butter, eggs; vegetables, fruits, ripe', - dry and - preserved. Wo know of no busi ness so profitableas this. And yet-if-our lot is cast fuither off, tot/ far to afford the facil ities of a daily Market, it equally behooves Us to exercise our judgment as to what is the next most profitable occupation'. In our vicinity, we know that we are very much dependent upon the growth of clover its - a' grass. Our limestone,' unlike . that of the : limestone laud of Kentucky, does not Seem to be well adapted to the-growth of the green ,grasses and our slate land, lacks suffi cient moisture in the,summer months; - we cannot, therefore, ever hope to compete with Alin West and Seuth-wesfin- raising hogs Mid cattle, nor even horses; our attention must, therefore, lafdirected to something elie: We -conclude, then, that wheat; rye, - corn, oats, and potatoes are the natural productions of : ,our soil,-and to raising these we-must-give our attention, and to this, let, nib add, far , More- attention - than - we, have - been - ft: the habit of giving: Look around you and count the number, of good farms whose 'owners stand,in: point of meads, just where they' stood thfriy years ago, not-having added an acre 10-their estate, and their improvements no better than they ever were. This is at tributable to careless, indifferent farming ; because_ the.business is profitable if properly pursued : like all other' effs'ployments; it re goi. es ability, - energy ifful capital,"for you : may, force the earth to produce by the lip: plication of the-same-means employed by a merchant, a manufacturer -r:, : „tneelutnierto. drive histrade into prolitablO4 - esults. Let the farmer he assured that the application of capital in the shape of manures, addition al labor, additional plowing, and more bar rov•ing, will -pay, and doubly ,pay for all that he commits to the'earth. ' That his seed should be perfectly cleansed, and if neces sary over and over again, and then washed, all of which requires but little expense in point of timennd labor ,y and which will as certainly produce its good fruits as the clean-, fag and-care of an animal will promote its health and condition. Diseases aro inoc ulated into seeds which cleansing and Wash n will remove. There is_no more familiar -instance - of - tits - theft - that of strut T adi6ease' . 'with which any grain - may inoceulated ;- corn, by the black excressanee which grows upon its stock or cars ; barley or oats, by their blackened head, and wheat by, its more distinct - blackened — grain. The aintact of either of : thesgOubstances with sound grain will communicate the disease as certainly as Striall-poN may tie communicated to the hu man systeth : and experionco has shownthat this contact may bo washed off: and the farmer Wherdoes not wash it off, must trade his misfortune of having smutty. wheat right back to his own 'negligence. We have no syMpathy for the farmer who han smutty wheat. It was because he did not care abant whether his seed was clean or -not, But _ what we wish to impress - upon 'you Is, that smut ..is_nOt the only disease that affeets grain, and its growth. - - Arid:whilst we may_ . not venture to specify the many kindred -.diseases-which mo_comnion to the vegetable kingdom, we may hazard the suggestion, that there are a thousand others, which may _ _bc_clalateXby...cleatilinessin_alLeur_litibits_. of preparation for - comniitting seed to the earth. And when . we come, to conipirre the expense of p'reparation, with the necessary and i naturfil - t - oiso is thei.e.that will - not take the pains to. be right? And yet there aro hundred's' who are wholly Ina - lElr- - , mit to tho -quality of tho seed they sow, or whether-it is dirty or clean ; and there aro those who do not read, who do not think,- ' who do not care for.anything but that they • may pursue-the cohrso which their fathers followed, in whose estimation the world : might stand perfectly still. , But the World Will not stand still, and such then : Who so think and so - act,- will be run over, and trampled down into the insignificance which they so well deserve. No nian in this day will, be perreitted to stand still ; he must contribute - . his 'mite, ,liowoyer .sitball the .. tnito may be, to the progress of things, and this remark is 'especially applicable to the farmer: Ile should never forget the largo . sphere he occuiges.ujain the world's shrfaco, and he should over remember the amount of duty ho owes to maim that space tell upon the world's operations.
