Generals Mcclellan and Fremont.

The Chicago Times, in speaking
Of General Fremont, says:
Why, we desire to know, did he
issue his proclamation without con-
sultation with tie Government?
He might have tclegraphed 1t to
Washington and received a reply
in a day, There is no pretcnse of
an overwhelming necessity for its
precipitatc issue. There was plcn-
ty of time to consult the Govern
mcnt. The truth undoubtedly ia
that its issue without such consul
tation was deliberate, and that he
had personal views of his own
which he thought to subserve by
the proceeding. lie is either an
aspirant for the Presidency, and is
seeking to promote his chances by
firing the Northern abolition senti-
ment, or he fancies that the Gov
crnmcnt is falling to pieces, and
that it is time to bid for the mill
tary dictatorship. We set him
down as not quite safe man, at
any rate.
He is wonderfully unlike Gener-
al Mcclellan. General Mcclellan
assumes no doubtful powers. He
has no collisions with the Govern
ment nor with his inferior officers.
No cabinetTiuistcrs or other agents
Of the Government are sent to in
vestigate complaints against him,
lie started out with scarcely moro
popular confidence than was given
to Fremont, but see how much bet
ter he holds on to it. lie is every
inch q General, and would take
fright at a suggestion that he may
become n popular political idol
hereafter. Can any human being
say that he candidIy believes this
Of Fremont?
We take it that it has become q
necessity that Fremont shall be SUI
pcrscded. If so, there should be
no delay about it.

3. If subscribers refuse or neglect to take

are held responsible.
5. The law Courts have decided that re.
fnsing to take paper from the Office is "pri.

Sending to Heaven for Minister

DC40AAE1 w 'AStNNS@A AVA - -
Judging from the number of or
dained ministers, who are seek
ing positions in the army, as
C6aplains to the regiments now
being organized in this State, un-
der the recent proclamation of
Gov. Yates-there being about ten
for each regimcnt-we are of the
opinion that our churches are in
the condition of the church that
once applied to Dr. Rice for a pas
tor, as related in the following an
ecdote:
The people of one of the out
parishes of Virginia, wrote to DR..
Rice, who was then at the head of
the Theological Seminary, in
Prince Edward, for minister
They said they wanted a man oi
frst-rate talents, for they had run
down considerably, and needed
building up. They wanted one
who could acrite well, for some Of
the young people were very nj ice
about that matter. They wanted
one who could risit good deal
for their former minister had neg
lected that, and they wanted mar
of very gcntlemanly department, fol
some thought a great deal of that
And so they went on describing 6
perfect minister. The last thing
they mentioned was, they gave
their last minister $3.50; but if the
Doctor would send them such {
man as they had described, they
would raise another $50, making
it $40O. The Doctor sat righ

down and wrote them a reply, tell
ing them they had better forth
with make out a call for old DIR.
Dwight, in heaven ; for he did not
know of any one in this world who
answered this description; and as
DR.. Dwight had been living so long
on spiritual food, he might not
need so much for the body, and
possibly he might live on $500.

Number of Seeds in a Bushel.

Finding a diversity of opinion
among farmers in regard to the
quantity of the seed necessary to
stock given quantity of ground,
and thinking that some others as
we'll as myself might be curious to
know the number of grains in a
bushel, and how many would fall
on a given quantity of ground, |
have made out the following state
ment, with a tolerable degree of
accuracy, by computation, after
counting a small quantity of the
several kinds mentioned.
Timothy seed number Al, 1885, 1850
grains to the bushel, and if sown
on an acre Of ground, as recon-
mended by some, would give about
81 to the square inch. Would not
one be better than six? Clover, of
medium size. what we here call
Eastern clover, numbers about
17,4OO,96O to the bushel, and gives
about 24 to the square inch on an
acre. Rio Grande wheat, fair and
plump, numbers about 559,280 to
the square foot. Rye numbers
1913, $50, and gives about 2O3 to the
