We have routed the enemy in every sense
ofthe word. We have driven them through
every house in the town to large stone
building formerly occupied by the American
army as a Quartermastcr's store. To-day
we expect to capture their whole force, and
then prepare to meet the troops of Uraga
from Matamoras. If however, we are un-
successful, we will harrass the approaching
army at every turn in the road. Our men
have proven themselves to be the right
stamp.
"God and Liberty" is our cry, and will
be until the banner of Carvajal, the liberia
ting chief shall wave ocr the ruins of pros
trate despotism.

however, 10 show his resentment to the edi-
tor Of the lntelI'gencer, (Mr. Joseph Gales,)
in manner SO striking that it could not be
forgotten. SO he first mounted a goods box,
and ''spectscle on nose," read to an aston
ished crowd an abusive article from the Fed
eral Republican upon "Jemmy Madison and
his man Joe," (as i. pleased The editor to
call Mr.. Gales.) He finished the act Of
vengeance by breaking up the type and scat
tering them in the street. In the meantime
a terrible accident happened to the party
which had been sent to destroy the public
store at Greenleaf's Point. The Americans,
on abandoning the fortress, had thrown a
large quantity Of powder into dry well-
By some accident it took fire, and blew up,
killing the commander Of the party, "a Capt.
Blanchard,) and forty others, and woundng
many more, most Of them so badly as to
render them forever after unfit for service.
The eyes of some were bursting, the arms
of others blown of, and the limbs Of many
broken, disoca,ed, or mangled in the most
shocking manner. From eighty to one hun
dred went 10 the point; not more than 20,
who returned, were ever Fl. for service after
wards.
"The British retired from this marauding
expedition on the 24,h, in the greatest dis
order. Had they been pursued by vigor-

largest and the best. But who has be-
fore made a fair experiment to ascertain the
facts My attention has been turned to
the subject, and held to it by my observation
and experience cullivating the sweet potato
1t is the common practice as far as my ob-
servalion extends, to save and use the small
er Of the sweet potatoes for planting. And
from five years. experience and observation,
] have obtained no evidence that the prac-
tice causes deterioration, as to size or quality
During the past season, | have made an
experiment with other potatoes, using the
kind or variety called Mercer. Side by side,
on ground treated alike and of like quality
as it was possible to have it, were planted
large potatoes and small ones, separated
from each other. Both were planted on the
same day, titled on the same days, and har-
vested on the same day. The resul. is quite
as good quality from the small potatoes used
in planting as from the large. Our son, M
NJ, 10 our absence, dug an equal number oi
hills, in parallel rows, and called on me to
decide between the heaps. decided with.
out hesitation as to the amount and size
His mother was then called on, and heI
ready decision agreed with mine. Ou'
decision was in favor Of those which he
said were dug where the small potatoes were
planted. We then went on and dug the
whole. The result agreed with the appear
ance of the heap first dug.
| 1T might seem to some like exaggeratlon
if we say the potatoes were more and better
from the small ones planted. We say thai
the quantity was not less. We think the
proportion of small potatoes was less from
The small potatoes planted than from the
large ones.
There is not the slightes, ground for con-
lecture that any mistake has been made
NV own eyes have been On the work, and
my own hands in it, from beginning to end
with the exception of the digging Of the
hills in the parallel rows, by my son, as
before mentioned. AT the time of planting
the stakes were set, and the facts written
down. All has been done with carefulness
that leaves not doubt.
1t is proper to say here the contrast in the
size of the tubers was decided. ] should
think ,ha, not more than one-fourlh, OF
a, most one-lhird Of the amour, in weight,
was planted where the smaller were used
OF the large, only one potato was used
in hill, the hills being about three fee'
apart each way. Of The smaller, also
only single one was used, the hills being
a, The same distance with the others, abou
three feet apart each way.
The subject is worthy Of attention. II
equal quality and quantity can be produced
on equal ground, from the smaller of the
,ubers, it is time to have i, known. If we
can obtain as good plant as from the larg-
er one, it is what we all need to know"

SMALL POTATOES FOR PLANTING.

]. has long been dispute among farmers,
as TO what the size ofa potato ought to be for
planting, and whether or not i! ought to be
cut. A Mr.. Orson S. Murray, Of Warren
county, Ohio, gives through the Albany
Cutiva,or, his statement of the matter
which, fortified as it is, with the stronges,
argument possible, viz his own immediate
experience, which is given to US in SO d.
rect and palpable manner as to carry con-
vc,ion with it. We need only say, tha,
the facts presented by Mr.. Murray, agree
entirely with the common sense view of the
subiect--our own opinion as we'll as the
modern opinion of some of our bes. farmers
in the region where the potato is an impor,
,ant crop. Mr.. nj. says:
"a writer states that it has long been

GUANO ON TOBACCO PLANT BEDS.

| GUANO ON TOBACCO PLANT BEDS.
| We have successfully tried guano as I
manure for plan. beds. Las, winter We ap-
piled j. to one, chopping i. in lightly at the
rate of eighteen hundred pounds per acre
The effec, was excellenl-as good as we
could have expected in any other way. II
was used on another bed in solution late in
the season, after the plants had come up
well, and began to suffer for want Of manure
The solution was made by mixing the guano
in hogshesd Of wafer at the rate Of a pound
10 five gallons. 1t was permitted TO stand
one day-lwo would have been better-and
sprinkIed over the plants by hand from a
| bucket. The watering pot was tried. but
the nose became choked by the sediment of
the guano. Itwas applied from time to time
as The plants seemed TO require it, until the
full quantity had been put on. The bed
contained about three hundred square yards,
had no other manure, and had been but half
burned on purpose to test the guano. The
resul, was most satisfactory, the plants COM
| ing in early, and continuing to grow finely:
and from that BED we planted very nearly
our whole crop, sixty thousand hills. If we
had had favorable season we could easily
have planted the whole Of it from the bed.
The other bed manured with the dry
guano did jus. as well bu. being more dis
tant, we never had occasion TO use it, and
gave it away.
The quantity may seem enormous, and We
would not venture To state our experlmen,
If unconfrmed by others; but we know that
Mr.. William w. Minor of Gale Hill, Abe
marie, from whom we got the hint, and Nj
Neil B. Gay of Fluvanna, from whom he
got it, have both used the same quantity and
with like success. Indeed one of Mr.. GAYS
guanoed beds vas not burned a. all, as we
have understood, and ye, he had better plants
from ,ha. bed, than from precisely similar
one, by its side, in fact, which had been
both burned and manured. The trouble Of
wedding was greater in the guanoed bed,
| but he estimated that as less than the labor
of burning.
On the other hand, it is fair TO state, that
Mr.. John r. Ednunds of Halifax, told US
last summer of a case, perhaps his own, in
which the guano, thus applied had failed
entirely. Whether this was owing to the
inferior quality Of the guano, or to the fact
that 1t was~applied to the bed before the
ashes were leached, we did not think to
inquire about that at the time.) or whether
il is that guano will not act on some plant,
soils, we cannot say. We strongly incline
to think it was owing to the frs, or second
of these causes, or to both combined.
We would, by all means, advise those
who choose 10 try it, not to make the ap-
al 1,yfII bo Ia,
leached by rain or snow, as the guano will
lose its virtue if they do. Unleached ashes
are as destructive to ammonia as quicklime.
They have just the same properties in re-
gard 10 il.

THE BRITISH BURNING.

The recent fire in the Capitol has induced
the Richmond Dispatch to give some of The
particulars Of the destruction Of the old
Capitol IN 1914. They may be in,eres,in :
to our readers:
"The British troops, commanded by Gen.
Ross, landed at Benedict, about fifty miles
from Washington, and on the 24lh August,
1914, attacked the American forces, con-
sis,ing aImos, entirely of raw militia, at Bla-
densburg. Ross had with him 1000 vete-
rams. As might have been expected, the A.
mericans were soon routed, the only serious
opposition which the enemy met with hav-
ing been offered by Com. Barney, and few
day Gen. Ross, accompanied by Admiral
Cockburn, who had already rendered him
self Infamous by his plundering excursions
on the Chesapeake, arrived al Washington
in the evening, at the head Of 1000 men,
The remainder of the army soon followed,
and encamped in sight Of the Capitol. They
commenced the work of destruction by burn
ing the House of a Mr.. Sewall, a volly of
muskelry fired from which had killed Gen.
Ross horse under him. They soon after
Sc, fire to the Capitol which contained the
Senate Chamber, the Representative Hall,
the Court Room of the Supreme Court, the
Congressional Library and the Legislative
archives. The Presidents House, The Trea-
sury Office, the War Office, and the Navy
Office, were destroyed in like manner
They spared, indeed, no public building ex-
cept The General Post Office, which was also
the Patent Office. Commodore Tingey, who
had orders 10 that effect, set fire to the Navy
Yard, in which there was large amount of
public property and fine new built frigale
on the stocks, to prevent it from falling in
to the hands of the British. The fort and
magazine at Greenleaf's Point, the public
stores at the Marine Barracks, two or three
rope-walks belonging to individuals, Car
rolls Hotel, and valuable house belong
ing TO the estate Of General Washington,
were all reduced to ashes.
"Cockburn, whose superior skill as an in
cendiary made him the presiding genius in
these scenes of destruction, would have
burned the office Of the N ationsl Intelligen-
Ger also: bu, the representations Of widow
who lived in an adjoining tenement, induced
him to forego his purpose. He determined,

ing occurred in both pieces, and the matter being
already in type,) we republish them in justice to
their authors But what will s'Annie think, when
we whisper into her ear that the worst error in
the poetry for her s'Scrap Book, ;" was committed
by sUncle Frank" himself? Printers are terrible
fellows for making mistakes, but they should not

We may do evu when the motive is good.
The Plaloniss and Pythagoreans, IN the
second century of The Christian Era, incuI-

of the Christian Church appear to have had
this sentiment infused into them. They held
il as a maxim, "lhat it was not only lawful,
but even praise-worthy, TO deceive, and
even use the expedient Of lie, in order 10
advance the cause Of truth and piety."

Oh could l WELD fairy s wand
And gather from the sea and shore,
Of gems and flowers on every hand,
The beautiful and rare:
No wealth from Genii's hidden store
OF treasure, gathered on the strand
BY unknown seas-no mystic lore
Of hermit or of seer
Should fail to greet thee here!
I'D seek for thee mid ocean caves
The coral, in its deepest cell
I'd dig the diamond from the waves
Where it does brightest shine
I'd find far and unknown dell
Which some pure pearly streamlet laves
I'd Gull the sweetest flowers that dwell
Upon its banks,-and thine
Should be the wreath I'D twine!
A poets dream should be thy song,
The bul-bul's dying note thy lay,
The cuckoo should at eve prolong
His notes, for thee for thee
The tempter should his tempting stay,
To guard each erring thought from wrong,
And chase thy every sin away;
And all thy hours should be
From sin and trouble free!
Yet, Annie! will be gathered here,

A simple lay I've sung,
And while the harp is strung

May He, who in his goodness guards
The simplest thing from harm,
And from his people evil wards
By his protecting arm,
Watch gently o'er thy coming years,
With his all-seeing power,-
Thy refuge when in doubts or fears,-
And be in life's last hour,
