Army Correspondence.--An interesting
letter will be found in to-day's paper from
our ever we:eome Army correspondent, "W.
T. B." As ° uSual, he deals some pretty
heavy blows at the dastardly Rebels and
sneaking, cowardly "copperheads" of the
North. Read the article.
Plants.--In another column we publish a
couple of essays upon the culture of Tobacco
and Sweet Youitoes, a perusal of which will
doubtless •rove beneficial to those about to
engage in- the cultivation of these plants.
A subscriber furnished us with the articles
which he abridged front a late agricultural
work.
NUMB Wanting the above mentioned
plants are referred to the advertigement of
Mr. GOOD in another column, who has made
arrangements to supply the public with
these and other varieties of plant..
A Copperhead's Cora* PliacAed.—The
tßopperlipad organ, of this county, the „Val
ley Spirit, this week devotes almost a col
uma of slang to Capt. Barnitz, oar New
Berne correspondent. It appears that •the
Transcript recently published s letter from
the Capt. in which he. expressed the wish
at is oya men 1 ort mpg t strung
up to the telegraph poles along the railroad."
This had the effect to raise the ire of the
Mpirit man, and hence hia,,abnse of the
Captain. The editor says the Captain is a
"blatant abolitionist," and "wrote dirty,
contem bible articles in the ra . a Record
assailing and villifying many of the oldest
and most highly respected inhabitants of that
vicinity." This is one of the many lies
which the article in question contains. Cap
tain Barnitz at no time assailed through our
columns any person or persons, except
"cop
perheads," like the editor of the Spirit—
men who cheer for Jeff, Davis, declare that
they are ready to shoulder their guns to fight
against the government, swear that Jeff. Da
vis is a bettor Union man than President
Lincoln, that Jeff. Davis' constitution is
"shust the tame" as ours, that our govern
is
a "tam tyranieal government and ought to
be broken up," and who have in various oth
er waysgiven the most convincing evidence
'of disloyalty. These theref,e are the par
ties whom the "copperhead" editor terms
"most highly respected inhabitants."
.the Time to Advertise --Now that many
business changes have taken place, it is
'portant that merehtmts; dealers weehaics, and
all having anything to sell, should let the
public know where they'are and how they are
prepared to accommodate their en.storaern.—
Th3se who have moved or made other chaa
ges in their business, should, of course,
make thoseAanges known; while those who
have not should let their old customers
know that the changes of April have brought
- no change with them, and that their custo
mers can still fine them at the old stand .

Like the toesin-peal of victory, the 'news
of the resurrection of Northern patriots,
broke upon us a few days ago; and oh, the
enthusiasm that burst out in every camp!
every face beamed with gladness,evety heart
was lightened of its despairing weight; no
victory, however great and splendid, even
to the taking of Richmond, could have oc
casioned such universal joy and mutual good
'feeling among, the patriot soldiers.. Here
and there, to be sure, some sneaking whelp,
having foisted himself upon the government,
in order to have the opportunity of breeding
discontent among the soldiers, but more es

long, with hang-dog look - and sullen mien;
discovering his vicious heart and traitorous
feelings; but generally there was joy, open
bearnin 'o , and from ten thousand hearts
wee t '4'athankful prayer-for the final awa
king of the Patriots so long dormant, or who
had been looking on with a morbid indiffer

men abolitionists, his allies in the North,
seeing that thus they could deceive—the
masses and array them against the govern

property or the subjugation of the Rebels,

utterly blinded were many of their followers,
so utterly and hellishly deceived and betray

CULTURE OF TOBACCO.
This.crop is just now attracting much at
tention; it may be interesting to the readers
of the Record, to have some practical khowl
edp,ie_ef its treatment, as well as instructi . n
of its cultivation; to make it a profitable crop
to those who design to engage in its cultiva
tion. Plants should be started in a seed or
hot bei,(or obtained at , the proper season
from those. who engage in propagatin g
plants.) The plants should be transplanted
as' soon as the ground becomes warm, and all
danger of frost is over. To prepare the
land, the mantire should be applied as soon
as the ground is, dry enough to plow-; the
(mount:. should be well Immured under all
circumstances. Mark the land three and
a half feet apart; make hills by drawing a
few hoes-full of dire, and press it with the
hoe. In taking the plants• from the bed,
take care to keep the roots wet, unless the
ground is quite damp ; put a pint of water
on each hill, half an hour before planting;
make a hole, put in the root, and press the
dirt close to it; all the way to the lower end.
If any of the plants does not live set another.
:Unless the earth is wet; or at least moist,
water the plant soon after setting as much
as may be necessary. In about a week cu'.-
tivate and hoe. In ten dr fifteen days repeat
the operation; and continue to cultittate_so as
to keep the weeds down. You will have to
cultivate it as you do corn ; and sucker it
often to prevent it from going to seed and
throw the sap into the leaf. In order to
prevent the mischief and damage of the
—.a, and remove-the—su • • ' s •
necessary to go through the tobacco patch
every morning, or as often as can be conve
niently done.
The proper time for cutting and curing
the tobacco will be given in proper season,
which is an important part of the cultivation
SWEETPOTA TO CULTI
- VATION.
As this delicious root is also attracting
much attention, from the fact of its scarcity
and the high price it commands for the last
few years, which in fact, can just as well,
and as profitably, be cultivated in this lati
tude as tobacco, which has been tested by
tual experiment. Plants must be propaga
ted from roots in seed, or hotbeds, same as
tobacco. Transplanting should be done when
the ground is sufficiently warm and the dan
ger of frosts over,
from the tenth of May to
the twentieth of June. Persons designing
to cultivate only for family use, should (to
save trouble and expense,) obtain their
plants from reputed pro[agators.
Select rolling ground mellow and warm
(not sandy soil or barren knolls.) 'The soil
should be well 'pulverized. Throw two heavy
furrows together forming a ridge; three and a
half feet apart from centrist) centre, is the
proper distance. In gardens the ridges may
be made with a hoe. Gardens for certain
reasons are not adapted to the cultivation of
this crop. Never work the soil when it is
very wet. When transplanting keep the
roots moist and the tops shaded until pan
ted. If you have not many to plant, choose
the afternoon or evening for planting.• 'Set
the plants fifteen inches apart in the ridges.
About ten days after planting commence
stirring. the ground to prevent the growth of
weeds. Hoe often enough to keep the weeds
down. Bo careful not to strike with sharp
hoes so near the plants' as to cut off the
young potatoes. When the vines commence
running, take a Single shovel plow sad cut
down the sides of the'ridges some, and follow
with same to replace it- Do not cover the
vines with soil. Do not suffer the vines to
grow fast to the soil- which they naturally
will do, but rather throw them on top of the
ridge on each other. Dig for immediate use
at any time when they are large enough.—
Dig the crop when the leaves are first nip
ped with frost. By the above method of
culture and mmetioal knowledge two hun
dred and two hundred add fifty bushels per
acre have been realized.

Intelligence reaches us from the headquar

provisions sufficient only for the tise of his

be brought to Newbern even if the Federal

There was some doubt, however, in regard
to their ability to escape the rebels. A re

before the Dudley Buck put off, on Thurs

affairs : "If our forces reaches us, we are

FOLLY Or HOARDING SMALL COIN.
Those people who now hoard cents and three
cents pieces, do it. probably, in the belief
that-they are much more valuable than the
regular paper .currency. We suppose they do
not understand that cents and three cent pie.
ces are not worth what they pass for, and
that they are not a legaltender for the Pay
ment of debts amounting to more than thirty
cents. A person may hoard three cent pieces
`:o the amount of hunderods of dollas. but he
cannot pay debts with them or use thorn at
all in business transactions, beyond the
amount specified, if others refuse to take
them; and with cents the case is still worse.
Such hoarding is foolish business. These
small coins were made to circulate as change
and they were made to pass fir more than
they are intrinsically worth, in order tukeep
them in circulation; therefore let them, circu
late. •

In, this order they groceeded up the main
channel, arriving within 1,700 yards of the
main forts. The Ironsides became :unman
ageable, owing to the tide and narrowness of
the ohannel, and she was, therefore, obliged
to drop anchor to prevent drifting ashore .
Owing to these eireuntstances, she 'signalled
her &nieces to disregard her motions.
The remainder of the iquadron continued
on its course, and soon 'dame within the range
of the .rebel fire from all peints- The ob
strhctions in the ehannel froth Sumter to
Fort Mohltrie interfered 'with the progress
of our ships. In consequence of this and'
the position of the Ironsides as above stated,
the plan of operations for the 'battle was
ierangcn tie space of manoenvering
being only from 500 to 1,000 y.ards, the ves
sels were obliged to prepare aud at once en
gage the forte and the adjacent batteries-
The signal had been made for action at
half past three o'clock in the afternoon, by
the lronsides, but the rebels had previously
opened fire upon the leading vessels. The
contest is represented as in the highest. de
gree exciting, presenting a fearful scene of
fire bleaching from points on the water ana
the land , a continuous roar at cannon.
In. the course of thirty minutes the Keo
kuk was in a sinking condition, and was a
bliged to withdraw from the fire, and seek
an anchorage below the range of the enemy's
fire. A few minutes afterward all the ves
sels withdrew; on a signal from the flag-ship,
it being deemed impracticable to continue
further hostilities. The Keokuk was within
five hundred or six hundred yards of Sump
ter, and was completely riddled,being struck
from all the batteries within range at least
ninety times in thirty minutes. The shot
was from rifled connou of the heaviest cali
bre. Captain Rhind, her commander, re
ceived a contusion on the leg, from a flying
fragment of his vessel, ,which only slightly
lamed him. Twelve of the men were'woun
ded, together with . Acting Ensign Mackin
tosh, who had charge of one of the guns.—
The•injuries are supposed to be fatal.
The next morning, finding it impossible to
save the vessel, Captain Rhind called a tug,
which took all his men on board. A few
minutes thereafter the Keokuk sunk. The
persons belonging to the ship lost al: their
personal effects.
On Wedneeda , the a. uadron remained at
anchor in the main ship channel. It is said
the men in our fleet only numbered about
1,000, with 30 guns, while the enemy, it is
supposed, had at least 300 guns, thet,.best in
the world.
The injury to the vessels, excluding the
Keokuk, are represented' to ba of such a
character as will require but a short titno
for repair. The 4asb,alties ninon& our men
were remarkably few, including 1 killed, and
3 wounded, 'on the Naliant.
As regards future movements the reports
aro conflicting. It was positively stated by
one of he pilots who boarded us, that the
Monitors would withdraw over the bar, and
that further action for the present would be
suspended. This was subsequently corrobu ,
rated by a reporter of one of the New York
papers,

spheres of deathless glory.
