Hungarian Grass

Mr.. EDGToR AS have had ssiittle ex.
periepce in raising this grass, J wish to say
o few words through your paper, in regard
to its good qualities. First, it is an easy thing
to raise, and 1t will produce double on the
same quantity of land than herdsgrass, and
OF as good c'.ality, as any other kind Of
hay, it out before ripe. I think ton of it
is as good as q ton of clover or heardsgrass;
and it suffered to get ripe, thresh it for the
seed, and it we'll cured and saved from the
rain, the hay is better than coarse clover
or herdsgrass with the seed off my cattle
eat 1t better, it being a sweeter kind of hay.
| plowed small piece of pasture last spring,
and some portions Of it produced at the rate
OF three and a half tons per acre. (before
threshed) and it yielded at the rate of thirty
two bushelR Of seed to the acre, and the seed
weighing fifty pounds to the busheI This
was from what sowed early the later SOW
ed not being quite as heavy, and the summer
was too dry for it, although it will do we'll
on dry soil, and stand the drought as we'll as
any other kind of grass. | sowed it on good,
sandy soil, on poor, and on loan; and the
richer the soil, the better the crop. l think
it will do best on dry soil | intend next
spring to SOW where Igraised corn last year,
and should the season be favorable, I think
| shall cut from four to FIVE tons to the acre.
| have been blowing old meadow, which did
not produce ton to the acre, (which intend
to SOW to this grass. Any land which is good
for corn will do for this kind of hay. 1t is
a good mixture if you wish to seed the land
with herdsgrass at the same time. This
seed must be sown every year, and requires
half a bushel per acre, find that it needs
to be sown from about the 18th OF May to
the LIST Of June. moved small piece,
then plowed and sowed it the goth of June,
and this last crop was the best. l sowed
some the 18th of June, which got ripe. My
horses eat it first rate, and seem to be very
fond of it. Some, perhaps may think have
this seed to sell, because Of my stating its ex-
cellent qualities, and would here say that
have and would not miss sowing three or
four acres Of it if I had to pay ten dollars a
bushel for the seed. have sold number
of bushels at S. per bushel, one man taking
two bushels. I have seen over thirty stalks
from one seed, where it was sown thin.
HARRISON GRIFFIN.

P. ST. enclose ono of the grass heads.
REMARKs.-This head Of grass is not the same
as the Hungarian seed of which we have had
some acquaintance the past two years. The
seed is the size of Timothy or Heardsgrass,
and would amount to about the same if
ground for food. 1t some resembles head
Of Pigeou'grass-a little longer.

Free Labor.

FRIEND BoYoE, permit me to say few
words about labor that tlesses every rank
from the Farmer down to the President.
Free labor enters into Gods arrangement
and it should gladden. every heart that He
has so ordered. God gave to our first pa.
rents the decree, viz. "In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou get bread till thou return I'M.
to the ground" That edict has never been
revoked by Him; it is universal aud unaltera.
BILE. No man of whatever class, condition
or color that inhabits this earth is exempt
from obeying that positive mandate where
ability is given. That law is blessing to
our sin ruined world Industry in lawful
calings brings comfort to individuals, fami-
lies, neighborhoods and to commonwealth.
tabor is the only true capital of our coun-
try without it farms and plantations would
be worthless, commerce and manufactures
would not flourish. The laboring classes are
the only true noblemen Of our country.
l now pass to say that paid labor enters
into Gods economy. 1t is written upon the
sacred page, that tire laborer is worthy of his
hire; also, the laborer is worthy of his re-
ward; again, masters give unto your servants
that which is just aud equal. Now if South
ern ministers of the Gospel would preach
these scriptures as Christ and the Apostles
did, to Shareholders how soon would unpaid
services come to an end. IF Southern Slave.
holders felt the force of those truths, they
would say to their servants (who are born IN
to the world with as much natural liberty as
themselves, and are their equals by nature)
"go ye into my vineyard or on my planta-
ton aud labor and whatsoever is right, will
give thee" The Bible clearly teaoheS that
when one person rendered or performed SER
vice that person was compensated for it.
The agreement between the parties was mu-
tual and no compulsion about it. Slavery
as it exists in our nation, is legalized ROBBIE
ry, takes by the force Of unjust and despotic
laws, their persons, liberty and the fruit Of
their labors. May the free press Of our
country appeal to the intelligence and con-
science Of the shareholders to adopt free la
Dor until Slavery comes to an end.
ONE WHO BELONGS TO THE WORKING
CLASS.

Agricultural Hymn.
NJ Rrv. JOHN prERpoxr, D. D.

To God, the gracious Giver
OF sunshine, dew and rain,
OF hillside, vale and river,
And broad and fertile Plain
Who giveth to our mountains
The glory Of their trees,
And poureth out the fountains
That fill our inland seas.
Who wrappeth Winters bosom
In His soft, woody SHOWS,
And openeth every blossom
That Spring around us throws
To HrM our tribute bringing,
or thankful hearts, we come,
With Joy and gladness singing
Our Hymn Of /" Harvest home"
Shall we, Thy sons and daughters,
Withhold our grateful lays,
While all Thy winds and waters
Are vocal in Thy praise
No! while all earth rejoices
In Thy paternal care,
Will we lift up our voices,
0, God, in praise and prayer.
God, who our patient labor
With plenty crown'st thus,
Help US our suffering neighbOr
To bless as Thou dost US;
And while Thy gifts we gather
From field and fold and stall,
To serve the good All Father
Who giveth all 10 all.

An IrrenmIar FemnIe.

The telegraph announces that South Car
olina threatens to quit the Union bed and
board. This means that South Carolina is
taking her usual air and exercise. Poor old
ladyl She never was happy in the family.
Somehow, she always enjoyed miserable
condition, as if her "vittles" did not agree
with her. Nature evidently designed her to
be unhappy in a state of single -blessedness.
She had a very bad spell in General Jack
sons time. That was about the tariff She
got over that when her time came round
and now she don't know of any other way
of collecting revenue. She will come out of
this tantrum if little time is given her. 1t
is not all necessary to call in the neighbors
She has plenty of friends at home to bring
her round. If the attack should be pro-
tracted, so as to require outside assistance, it
will be sufficient to send a revenue cutter off
the port of Charleston, to collect duties on
her imports, and see that she does not fool
away her money for foreign goods and gim-
cracks.

A writer in the Sunday Enquirer who is
doing the city churches, and giving the clergy
some first-rate notices, relates the contest in
Union Chapel over the question of pews,
which ended in the private-pew system; its
first introduction into any Methodist church
in the West. AS to the East, we are not in
formed. On this, the Enquirer moralizes as
follows.
1T seems strange that such paltry ques-
lions as this, and many of like nature, should
use up the energies of the churches, while
matters Of far greater moment demand at
tentioD. Questions concerning "pewed
churches, or immersion infant baptism"
or "Apostolic succession sod SehooW or
'New School" will hardly he discussed at
the Judgment bar, and might with profit be
less talked OF here" ...r
This mixing up of questions Of seats with
spiritual faith, denotes the theological mind.
Next we shall hear Of such paltry questions
as shad-bellied coats and the Trinity, wasting
the energies of the Churches; or, we shall be
informed that questions concerning hooks
and eyes, or buttons, on the ministerial coats,
and justification by faith will hardly be dis
cussed at the Judgment-bar; nor flowers on
boDnets, and the new birth; and that they
might with profit be less talked of here.

A Queer Millennium.


Many of the American aud English pa
pers have been greatly captivated by the
proposition to transfer the Pope and the
seat of st. Peter 20 Jerusalem. 1t has gen.
orally heen held that the rebuilding of that
holy city was to mark the restoration of the
divine favor to it, and TO be wonderful ex-
bibition of the glory of God. There has for
a long time been much anxiety that the
Hebrews should leave their business and
their citizenship here and in the various
parts Of the earth, and set out on their re-
turn to inherit this blessing, which was sup
posed TO be waiting for them.
People have been quite impatient at the
delay of the Jews, as they wanted to see
something uncommon done. The millennium
also was waiting their return, and was to
begin on that event. Yet these devout
persons want to send the Pope to establish
his Kingdom in the Holy Land. Is that the
iufllment of the prophesies, and the resto-
ration of Gods Kingdom, that they have
been praying for? Yet, strange to say, this
proposition comes from those unfrendly to
to the Pope. This suggests reflection on
their motives in praying for the restoration
of the Jews. 1t is singular that people
should pray so devoutly that God would
manifest his glory by restoring the Jews to
a place TO which they wish TO Danish the
Pope

While we are talking about secessionists
in the South, let us not forget that they are
just as plenty in the North. There are
just as many people in the North who use
the secession threats for political effect, to
ffighten people into voting their own party
into power, as there are in the South, who
threaten secession, Which is the most dis
loyal Of the two2 It is question to be
asked. There are as many people in the
North who turn State's-evidence and accuse
their own section of every thing to excite
the South TO secession, as there are in the
South who threaten it. And they do this
for the purpose of creating public danger,
hoping that it may turn up something to
help their desperate party. Which of the
two is both disloyal and dishonorable2 1t
is question not to be asked, for it is plain
to every one.
We have nothing 10 brag Of over the
South. We can match their disuuionists
with meaner race, who instigate secession
for their partizan ends, while they have no
sectional interests to justify it, The seces-
sionists can point to the evidence of men in
our midst, for justification of all which they
threaten. Mr.. Douglas would have hanging
enough to do in the fee States, to last him
the balance Of his life, before undertaking
| his proposed hempen administering south
of Mason and Dixons. And let it be remem-
bcred that when he declared his desire to
help hang those who seeded, upon the cleo
ton of Lincoln, he gave character and at
tributes to that election, which, iftrue, would
justify secession.
| We have no reason to thank God that we
ore better than our Southern neighbors.
/ Human nature is the same everywhere.
Men are subject to their accidents. The
most rampant anti-slavery men among us
would generally be just as rampant pro-
slavery, if they lived in the slave States and
had property interest in the institution.

Revision Of che CIrr Wards.

The Council initiated a movement last
night for a revision of the city wards, for
the purpose Of creating several new ones.
Some of the wards are undoubtedly too
largei but the Council is also pretty large for
a deliberative body which has to dispose Of
so much business. In the multitude of coun-
selors there is wisdom, it is true; but not
such ready performance. Besides, there is
plenty of wisdom in the Council now. Might
not an equalization Of the present wards an
swer the purpOse2 The provision of addi-
tional election precincts is another thing.
That is unquestionably necessary but d.
vision of the wards is not required for that.
