weld fifty bushels Of corn. then let two acres
do 1t. If two acres of meadow land will not
produce hay enough to winter the stock then
NOV over more land. If the old farm does
not produce the amount of grain and grass
that it did fifteen years ago then buv NEIGH
hor's farm and let him emgrate to the West.
More grass and more gram are sought for,
not by improving the culture Of the soil but
by going over more acres
W hat is the consequence The number of
farms and farmers is decreasing in Vermont
In most places lighter crops are produced -
the fences are running down. the corners,
headlands. and hvc-rlaces are multiplying -
and the hriars and bushes are encroaching
upon the broad field.

The Siege of SebastODOl.

The New York Tribune has correspond
ent at Constantinople who gives the following
account of the terrible condition of the Eng
lish besiegers of Sebastopol, His letter is
dated Jan. 4th, 1855.
1t is said thata dispatch was sent to Lord
Raglan stating that an armistlce might be
expected soon, and have heard it said thar
the news was quite n balm and cordial to the
poor suffering British soldiers IN the bitches
before Sebastopol. OF these sufferings no
one at distance can form any correct view
When tell you that after the Battle of In
hermann there were but Il, 900 fighting men
left ont of some 10000: that althou oh
10 900 men have been added since then, the
number of fighting men continues the same /;
that the British hospital at Scutari at this
moment contains G,000 invalds, and that
some 2 900 men are at Balaklay waiting to
come down here to die, you may form some
estimate of the state Of things. Friends of
mine, both English and American, who have
recently visited Sebastopol, tell me that the
miserable condition of the British camp
forms striking contrast with that of the
French. Lord Raglan is despised by his own
officers as well as men, to degree that almost
amounts to insubordination. He is an old
and feeble man-his own dwelling in the
supplied with furniture, and appearing to
be the museum for all the knick knacks stolen
from the Russian country-seats which once
stood on the locality of the camp, but which
have been burned by the freezing men for fuel
lie is never known to visit the troops, nor to
look at the trenches-he never orders, or su-
perintends review of them, nor is he ever
known to give any order showing an interest
in their destitute condition and immense suf-
ferings.
The French have long since said that the
English were an incumbrance to them, and
that 1t panied them thus to behold wretched
and suffering humanity without possessing
the power to rescue it, They freely say that
are totally destitute of any knowledge Of the
administration OF an army-and, indeed they
now look upon them as no longer the nation
they are brave men but not soldiers; that they
which they were in the time of Napoleon l.
The position Of the British forces is the
more exposed OF the two, while their num-
bers are too few for the task assigned to
them. There are not men enough to afford
proper relief TO those IN the trenches. The
soil of the Crmea is a mixture of clay and
lime-there is, however, abundance of stone
in layers, but the soil is soft, and when wet ,
becomes extremely miry, This is peculiarly
the case in the trenches, where the ground is
heavy, and the water always from one to
