How to Raise Early Potatoes

A dish of new, mealy potatoes about the middle
Of June, is not TO be despised They are good upon
the table and by means bad in the barrel, on
their way to a lively market, at one or two dollars
bushel, and upwards. There is difference of
month or two in the time required by different va
rietics TO mature This is often overlooked by
farmers and they continue planting only the late
sorts, and have no new potatoes until August. -
Early varieties are first essential in getting an
early harvest. The Mercer or Chenango will ma
ture in about twelve weeks, and with forcing, in
ten. 1t is not so apt to rot when forced, as when
planted late The early Sovereign Carpenter
Studley's Seeding, Wendels Seeding Dykmau,
and the early June, require still shorter season,
say from six TO twelve days. In almost every see
ton Of the country there early potatoes proba-
bly, quite as good as any of these.
There are several methods of Fastening their
maturity A favOrite method with the German
market gardeners is to bring the seed potatoes in
barrels into warm room, about the first Of March.
The eyes start rapidly, and in about two or three
weeks they are ready to plant. Another method,
which we have practiced for years is to start
the potatoes in gentle hot-bed about the middle
of March. The tubers are cut in halves, and laid
fat side down upon the bed as thick rs they can
be placed. They are then covered with about two
inches of garden mold, and the ashes are put over
them. As soon as they arc up two or three inches
they are ready to transplant. They should be re-
moved carefully, separating the roots with as little
breaking as possible and put in the drills where
they are to grow As they do not yield Il full crop
under this treatment, they can he planted closer
than in common culture say in drills thirty inches
apart, putting the hills twelve inches apart in the
drill
A warm sandy loan, sloping TO the South or
SOUTHEAST should be selected for this crop. II
should be well manurcd with horse dung about
half Of il applied in the drills Some manure their
grounds for early potatoes in the Fall and this is
We think, good plan for thai part Of the manure
which il applied broadcast Fresh horse dung in
the drills raises the temperature Of the soil, and
hastens their growth.
RENARKs.-To the above, written by one Of our
associates. we viii aid that We have succeeded well
on a small scale thus Two or three weeks before
the time when Il will probably do 70 plant out lie
pieces on turf sod say four or FIVE inches square,
and put a piece OF potato in EACH Theae are set
closely together where they can be wHtered az

Death of Packenham

The heroic Packenham had not far to 90 to meet
his doom. He was three hundred yards from the
lines when the real nature of his enterprise seemed
so flash upon him; and he turned to Sir John Tylden
and said:
"Order up the reserve"
Then, seeing the Highanders advancing 10 the
support of General Gibbs he, still waving his hal.
hut waving it with his left hand, his right being
wounded, cried outs
"Hurrah ! brave Highlandersr'
At that moment mass of grapeshot, with ter
rible crash, struck the group of which he was the
central figure. One of the shots tore open the gen.
erals thigh, killed his horse and brought horse and
rider to the ground Captain McDougal caught the
general in his arms, removed him from the fallen
horse and was supporting him upon the field when
a second shot struck the wounded man in the groin.
deprving him instantly of consciousness He was
borne to the rear and placed in the shade of an old
live-oak, which still stands and there after gasp
ing a few minutes, yielded up his life without a
word happily ignorant of the sad issue of all his
plans and tolls.
A more painful fate was that of General Gibbs.
A few moments after Packenham fell Gibbs receiv-
ed his deaih-wound, and was carried off the field
writhng IN agony, and uttering fierce imprecations
He fingered all that day and the succeeding night
dying in torment on the morrow Nearly at the
same moment General Keane was painfully wound
ed in the neck and thigh and was also borne to the
rear. Col. Dale of the Highlanders fulfilled his
prophecy and fell at the head of his regiment. The
Highanders, under Major Creagh, wavered not, but
advanced steadily, and too slowly into the very
tempest Of General Carroll's fire, until they were
within one hundred yards Of the lines Idrton's
life of Jackson.

Low-headed Fruit Trees.

BY having low headed fruit trees, the
sun, which is perhaps in our hot and dry
summers the cause Of more disease and dis
, ,tructioE in fruit trees than all other dis
eases together,i is Kept from almost scalding
the sap, as 1t does in long naked trunks
and limbs. The limbs and leaves, should
always eifectually shade the trunk and keep
il cool The leaves, only can bearand pro-
fit by it. If trees were suffered TO branch
out low say within one or two feet Of the
ground we should bear very much less of
the sire blight frozen sap blight" black
spot, and the like Ths ground is always
looser, moister and cooler under low
branching tree, than under high branch
ing one. Grass and weeds do not grow
hundreth part so rank and readily, and
mulching becomes unnecessary. The wind
has not half the power to rack and twist
and break the tree, and shake off the fruit,
a matter Of no inconsiderable Consequence.
The trees will be much longer lived, and
more prolific, beautiful andproftabe. The
trees are more easy rid Of destructive in
sects, the fruit is much less damaged by
falling, and the facilities for gather il much
greater; there is less danger iH climbing,
and less in breaking limbs. The trees re-
quire less pruning and scraping and wash
ing and the root are protected from the plow
which is too often made.to tear and mutt
late them.

Young Smith was induced into the Office as Pres-

This organization is very sanguine that they can
induce Young Joe to assume the Presidency and

of conference to depose Brigham Young, as the
Presidency of Young Smith is acknowledged, even
in Utah. Such a Conference had been proposed.
President Of the High Council, Bishop and
President Of Elders were chosen and ordaineds
Much bitterness of feeling is manifested sganst

out the proceedings, and in the course Of private
conversation, Young and bis counseors were de-
nouneed as having separated themselves from tho

Erom the Nashville Patriot.
"The Land of Pierce"

Some time since the Union and American reprint
ed resolutions the subject of slavery adopt
ed by district convention and county democratic
meeting in New Hampshire, and appended the fol.
lowing comments
''This is the land of Pierce and such is the natio-
nality of democracy. The patriotism of such men
is above price. We feel honored in calling them
brothers. They are no time-servers. They stand
fIy sound principles, even when those more inter-
ested in their success hesitate in maintaining
them"
We have received a copy of the Concord Demo
ocrdhc Statesman an old organ Of the Democracy,
from which we copy the following response to our
neighbors swollen periods
"This is the land of Pierce and such is the Nation
ality of Democracy" Ii is indeed, the land where
Pierce born, but where he does not stay longer
than bird of passage, but the "Natonality of De-
mocmcy," ofwhich the Nashville Union speaks Is
not that of Pierce. How will our friend of the
Union, and the true National Democrats of Tenn
essee, aud of the whole country, be surprised to
know, that the resolutions which they much APP
plaud, were passed by Democratic Convention ia
opposition TO the doctrine and the strenuous efforts,
Of the friends Of franklin Pierce And yet such
is the solemn and lamentable truth.
| Does not our friend Ofthe Nashville Jti0n, know
that the N. H. Patriot is the special and confden-
tial organ of Franklin Pierce and that its course
and policy are controlled and dictated by Franklin
Pierce, and his confidential friends and agents in

not know that that paper, has constantly opposed
and denounced Mr. BuehanRns Lecompton policy
that il has constantly advocated the Squatter
Sovereignty doctrines of Douglasl We should pre-

The Old Lady and the Cobler.

Some years ago, the husband Of an oil d
lady residing in country village happen
ed to die very suddenly without will for
the want of which very necessary precau-
ton, his estate would have passed away from
his widow had she not resorted to the fol-
lowing remarkable expedient to avert the
loss of his property:
She CONCEALED the death Of her husband
and prevailed upon an old cobler her neigh
Dor to 60 TO bed at her house, and person
ate him, in which character it was agreed
that he should dictate a will leaving the
widow the estate in question. An attor-
ney was accordingly sent for to prepare
the required documents and the widow on
his arrival seemed to be realizing the great
est afiiction at her COOL mans danger but
forthwith proceeded to ask questions Of
her pretended husband calculated TO elicit
the answers she expected and desired.
The old cobbler groaning aloud and
looking as much like person going TO
give up the ghost as possible, feebly an
swered:
81 intend TO leave you half Of my estate
and think the poor old shoemaker, who
lives over the way is deserving Of tho
other half, for he has always been good
neighbor.'
The widow was thunder-struck at the
reply so different from that which she had
expected but dared not negative the old
cObbler's viii for fear Of losing the whole
Of hoproperty, while the cunning old rogue
in bed, who was himself the old shoemaker
living over the way laughed in his sleeve,
aud divided with her the fruits Of a pro-
ject which the widow intended for her own
sole benefit

Twas the midnight hour, and the cold, clear moon
Through the Heavens was calmly sailing,
No sound was heard not night birds note,
Nor breeze through tho branches wailing.
As, with silent step, came an enemy forth,
And entered whilst all were sleeping,
And froze his warm blood, like blast from the north
That Ger icy mounts had been sweeping.
He lay down to rest when night had come,
And sleep crept calmly DER him,
But ere midnight had past, with its solemn gloom,
The angel Of death stood before him.
He gazed on his prey, as the weapon was raised,
And the dart was hurled suddenly
Our friend went to sleep on his quiet couch
He woke to Eternity
One fearful gasp-one short, faint sigh,
But neither word nor groan,
One bright, fix'd look from the CLASSY eye,
And the battle of life was done.
