and the enemy, met common death
After, this nothing material occur
red until September 9th, when the
long expected squadron, under Com
modorc Barron, joined the one before
Tri2oi. Here ended the command
of Commodore Preblc, 80 honorable
to himself and hia country. All
joined in praising his distinguished
merit. The Pope made public de-
claratlon, that, "thc United States,
though in their infancy, had in this
affair, done more to humble the anti.
christian barbarians on that coast,
than all European States had done
for a series Of time Sir Alexander
Ball, a distinguished commander in
the British navy, addressed Commo-
dorc Preblc as follows:-"I beg to
repeat my congratulations on the SER
vices you have rendered your coun-
try, and the hair.brcadth escapes you
have had in setting q distinguished
example. Your bravery and enter
prize arc worthy of great and rising
nation. If were to offer my opin-
ion, it should be, that you have done
well not to purchase peace with the
enemy. A few brave men have in
deed been sacrificed; but they could
not have fallen in a better cause: and
| even conceive it advisable to risk
more lives rather than submit to terms
which might encourage the Barbary
States to add fresh demands and in
suits"
After the junction Of the two squad
rons, Commodore Prcblc Oh
tanned leave to return home. This
he did with the greater pleasure, as it
would give the command of a frigatc
to Captain Decatur. On his return
to the United States, he was received
and treated every where with dis,in.

RENCouNTER OF THE PRESIDENT AND
LITTLE BELT.
Pursuant to instructions from the
navy department, on the l 9th of May,
1914, Commodore Rodgers, com
manding the frigatc President, sailed
from Annapolis for New York. On
the 10th about, noon and within six
leagues from land, a sail was discov-
cred to the eastward, standing to-
wards the President. The Commo-
dorc perceived it to be man of. war:
and supposed it to be the British irig-
ate Guerrero, which frigatc, it was
also supposed, had a few days before,
impressed boy from on board an
American brig, near Sandy Hook.
Commodore Rodgers, considering it
his duty to know the names and char
actcr Of all foreign vessels lowering
on the coast, resolved to speak her.
lie also hoped, that, if she proved to
be the Guerrierc. he might prevail
on her commander to rclinuuish the
young man. At half.past three, the

OF the present crop, the receipts
are about 100000 bales to the
present date; but as compared with
the date above, only about ! ,170,O00
bales. If the same amount as the
average for eight years is delivered
of this crop, it would prove to be 3
125, 900 bales. II the crop is in at
the ports in the ritio Of 1S46-47, the
short crop season, viz: II per cent,
this crop would not succeed 2,030,.

been, rs many suppose more rapid
than those Of that season: and quite
Is per cent, the crop would be I $780,
600 bales. The season has now
reached point that enables US to
judge wcther the crop is short one,
say 100000 bales and less; or a
moderate one, say 100000 bales
and upwards; and with the sinccrcst
desire to ascertain the true figure, as
nearly as possible, we have given the
tabe at the top; and when we reflect
that we have had three months of un-
commonly dry weather, and high
prices through all the picking season,
and that the mild winter fastened
the melting Of the SHOWS on the prin-
cipal tributaries of the Missippi, and
the most of the Western rivers have
been in stage TO admit of the lar.
gest class Of Floats running, VIC think
there has existed greater inducements
to bring out Cotton this season than
during 1S1G-17; and unqucstionably
far greater inducements than during
the average Of the last eight seasons;
therefore, we can sec ground for sup
posing it possible this crop can cx-
coed 100000 bales, and we fear
it may prove to be far less. -Mucon

Without action, thought can never

hangs before the eye as n cloud of

he was unable to learn her name.

to run under the Ice of the British

To The Editor of the Ollie Cultirdtor
The great consideration CT the farmer
should be TO keep up and increase the
strength aud fertility of his land. II this
is properly attended to, it will constitute a
deposi!e upon which he can freely draw
without danger of having his drafts pro-
tested. But this grand object is lost sight
Of By a large portion OF our farmers. and
consequently each succeeding crop taken
from the land. leaves ii worth less to the
owner, with the certainty Of yielding a
more scantv return to the tiller.
Where the cultivation of grain is the
principal object OF the farmer, without a
corresponding amount Of stock being kept
10 produce manure sufficient TO keep up the
soil, il becomes indispensibIy necessary to
clover largely. and turn down heavy coat
of vegetable matter. IS ieFtliIser. no
crop is better adapted 10 variety OF soils,
than clover. or q mixture OF clover and
timo,hy. Land not intended for the plow

with clover. | have never known a farm
run down, that was regularly seeded in
clover.
clover, there is some diversity of opinion,
and different results in practice. Much de-
pends upon the season, and time that
NAV Succeed best in one season, may Ut
JeFly fail III another have practiced fall
sowing with the most complete success;
and in order 10 guard against contingencies
would prefer sowing with q fall crop in
September, or as late as the fifth of Octo-
ber. but no later, IS il requires warm sun
TO grow. and become well set TO protect il
from the winter, There is no danger Of
is being hoven up when small that never
occurs until the roots become large. Fall
sowing has this advantage, it gives the clo-
yer better start in the spring before be-
coming shaded BY the growing crop, and
If 1t should fail, the ground can be re-sown
IN the spring.
For spring sowing consider the two
last weeks i'll March the best time. If
sown too early, il may sproutimmediately,
aud so be killed in the cold weather that
follows, if sown late. il is frequently killed
by drought, The best signs to sow in. IS
when the ground IS hoven up, so as TO al
low the seed to settle in the openings.

pounds of seed 10 the acre sufficient.
Intimately connected with clover, is the
use OF plaster, upon which may give my
and observations hereafter.
