On THE CULTURE OF THE TURN1r--The ear
ly white Dutch and early Stone are generally
preferred; but the genuine Aberdeen yellow (gol-
den yellow, or Maltese golden) is the hardest,
and most sugary of any sorts have ever seen.
Times of sowing may be about March %, for
early summer crop; May Is, for Autumn supply;
July /, for main winter stock; and Aug. IL, for
the latest or spring crop. In sowing suppose the
ground to be in ridges, IS in. wide, and some
wel-rotted dung introduced between them; and
after digging every ridge separately, cover the
dung about two inches deep, pass the roller over
the whole; then make drills, and SOW the seeds
right over the ridge Of the dung, burying not
more than half an inch deep. As the plants

A great regularity in tme-a great simplicity in
dress-a more determined adherence to that
which is right in ones own eyes, rather than that
which is well thought of in the eyes of others
an orderly apportioning of various periods for
different ccupations-would make evenings at
home pass away very differently to what, in the
great majority of cases, they are now doing,

The Voice Of the Grass,

The Voice Of the Grass,
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere,
By the dusty roadside,
On the sunny hillside,
Close by the noisy brook
In every shady nook,
! come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere,
All around the open door,
Where sit the aged poor,
Here where the children play,
In the bright and merry May,
come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere,
In the noisy city street
My pleasant face you'll meet,
Cheering the sick at heart,
Toiling his busy part,
Silently creeping creeping everywhere.
Here l come creeping, creeping everywhere,
You cannot see me coming,
Nor hear my slow sweet humming;
For in the starry night,
And the glad morning light
come quietly creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere,
More welcome than the flowers,
In summers pleasant hours;
The gentle COW is glad,
And the merry bird not sad,
To see me creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere,
When you're numbered with the dead,
In your still and narrow bed,
In the happy Spring I'll come,
And deck your silent home;
Creeping silently, creeping everywhere
Here come creeping, creeping everywhere,
My humble song of praise
Most gratefully raise
To Him at whose command
I beautify the land,
Creeping, silently creeping everywhere.

The Power o. Truth~A Sonnet.
BY J. r. LOWELL,

The hope of Truth grows stronger, day by day;
l hear the soul of man around me waking
Like a greats its frozen letters breaking,
And fingng up to heaven its sun-lit spray,
Tossing huge continents in scornful play,
And crushing them with din of grinding thunder
That makes old emptinesses stare in wonder.
The memory of a glory passed away
Fingers in every heart, as in the shell
Rpples the by-gone freedom of the sea;
And every hour new signs of promise tell
That the great soul shall once again be free;
For high and yet more high the murmurs swell
Ofinward strife for Truth and Liberty.

The PIOughbOy'S Song.

-
IT'S sunrise now
On the mountains brow,
And the air is cool and clear
And.who would dream
In the mornings beam,
When the beautiful spring is here?
I'll hasten with speed
To the glittering mead,
Where the mists are gathered;
They will pass away,
AS opens the day,
AS speeds the glittering pillow.
The lark is high
In the clear blue sky
And his carols wild and free!
He has left his nest,
On the meadow breast,
In the sunlight of heaven to be.
CANNOT ny
To the clear blue sky,
Or carol so wild and free,
But I'll whistle so clear,
That the skies shall hear,
As my plow glides DER the lea.
And when the day
Shall have passed away,
And the sun hath sunk into the sea,
I'll take my team
From the strong plow beam,
And hasten away Ger the lea.
And then at night,
When my heart is light,
And sleep stealeth DER my brow,
I'll lie and dream
Ofmy field and team,
And Of guiding the farmers plow.

LETTER FROM JUDGE MCLEAN ON
THE ELECTION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. l. ls4s,

DEAR SIR: My absence on the circui,
has prevented the acknowledgment of the
receipt of your friendly letter of the 7th
ult. The election has resulted in favor of
Gen. Taylor, and every patriot should
hope that his administration may advance
the great interests of the country. Gen
Taylor is man of unquestionabe honor
and integrity, and have no doubt, in the
discharge of his public duties, he will do
what his judgment dictates to him to be
right. He may differ in opinion with
other men equally honest and patriotic, and
such differences may produce excitement:
but General Taylor will never be found
trader in politics. That he will commit
errors like other men, | doubt rot; but he
will be honest in his errors.
Irejoice with you that the people were
disposed tosshink and act for themselves
If they shall continue to do this, shall
have no fears for the republic. But | can
not suppress my fears when partyism
prevails which is justly defined TO be "the
madness of the many for the benefit of the
few" Under such circumstances the peo-
pie are made the instrument of their own
ruin. | have ever been favorable to our
own manufacturers, but opposed TO the
manufacture of public opinion. In this
late manufacture, little intelligence and less
honesty is required, but, if successful, the
operatives must be compensated largely at
the public expense.
This kind of business can be only safely
attended to by the people themselves; and /
rejoice al any movement which calls forth
the exercise of their unbiased judgment.
Men who by honest industry, add to their
own and the nations wealth, and who rise
with the prosperity of that country, have
the deepest stake in the government.
would trust them as class before that of
any other! '.'
With the assurances of my respect,
lam your fellow citizen.

HEMP For THE NAVY.

The Secretary of the Navy. in his an
nual report to the President, accompanying
the Message of the latter to Congress, thus
speaks of an article in which our citizens
have direct interest:
The supply of hemp on hand and deliv-
cradle under contracts already existing,
rendered it unnecessary to advertise for
any additional quantity for the present
year. That American hemp can be pre-
pared, in quality equal to any in the world,
has been established by experiment under
the most rigid tests. The heavy outlay ne
cessary in preparing for the production of
the finer descriptions, suitable for naval
purposes, has prevented many planters
from engaging in annual contracts. The
joint resolution of Congress, of the 9th of
May last, made great improvement by
authorizing navy contracts for American
water-rotted hemp, for term of not ex-
ceeding five years, at remunerating price.
propose to invite, by advertisement,
the hemp. growers themselves to contract,
and by accepting proposals for quantities
of twenty-five tons and upwards, and, in
case of equality of bid, to give the prefer
ence to the farmer who grows it, to encour-
age the general adoption of the most i'm
proved process of preparing this important
supply for the navy.
Proposals for furnishing machinery for
the rope-walk at the Memphis navy yard
have been invited by advertisement; and
as soon as it can be manufactured and de-
livered, that important establishment will
be put in operation. "a. ...
This place for the delivery of hemp for
the use of the navy will be far more con-
venient for domestic hemp-growers gener-
ally than that at which cordage is now
manufactured, and the facility of access
will Justify the farmers in settling their
produce directly to the government with
out the intervention of agencies or The ex-
pense and loss of more distant transpor-
talion and frequent shipments.

PERSONAL MATTERS.

We have not been In the habit of obtru.
ding a notice of ourselves upon the public,
through the columns of the Times, and we
will ask the indulgence of our readers, for
dcvoting few paragraphs to that purpose.
Our readers are doubtless aware there
has existed controversy, between some of
our correspondents and the Editor of the
Banner. With regard to the merits of that
controversy, they are as competent to Judge
as ourselves. We had only interested our
selves so far, as TO know that the authors
were responsible men, and were answered.
BILE for whatever they chose to write.
Thus situated, we felt warranted in belev.
ing, that if the Editor of the Banner fel,
himself aggrieved he would have demanded
the names of our correspondents, that he
might have vented hisp up ,orath in an
honorable way. Through the extreme
condeScenSion of the Editor, we have been
noticed in SO very polite terms, that we can.
not forbear stating, for the information Of
the public, that the names of our cores
pondents have never been called for And
we will hazard the opinion, that the public
need be under no apprehension, that oul
Editors notions of propriety, will ever
prompt him to so rash an act. His opin
ions and notions are peculiar, and although
not of much weight either way, we doub
not have undergone some changes recently

Mn. WEBSTER AND GEN. TAYLoR.-
There is good story in circulation in
Boston, respecting Mr.. Webster and Gen.
Taylor, which the Traveller tells. 1t is
said that Mr. Webster sent copy of his
Marshfeld speech to Gen. Taylor, and
since the election, has received letter from
the old General, acknowledging the re-.
ceipt of the speech. In regard 10 the ex-
preston of Mr.. Webster, that the nomina.
ton of Gen. Taylor for the Presidency
was one not fit to be made, the General
says he was much of Mr.. Webster's opin-
ion at the time of the nominations; but
thinks that, since the people of the United
States are of different opinion, it may be
best for both himself and Mr.. Webster to
revise their opinions.
