Va. The Montgomery Advertiser Of May
S1st, says:
Preparations for the removal Of the De-

thought the arrangement can be completed
BY the Ist Of June, or at least early in the
month. The clerks in the various depart

furniture for sale, and the papers and re-
cords are being put in o portable cOndi-
ton. 1t is the intention Of the Govern
ment 10 establish the Departments in Rich
mond as soon as proper buildings can be
secured by the Committee appointed for
that purpose, and as the Virginians have
been anticipating the movement since the
time that Mr. Stephens arrived there as
Commissioner, the procurement Of rooms

New MODE OF GRAFTING.-The French are
practicing new method of grating, a knowl-
edge of which may prove valuable to Ameri-
can horticulturists, inasmuch as it can be per-
formed at any season of the year when the
sound matured buds can be had, whether the
sap is in flowing state or not. 1t is perform
ed by removing small piece of bark and
wood, leaving smooth and fiat surface, to
which a similar piece containing the bud,
which is to form the future tree, is fitted,
which is sealed over Immediately with col
lodion. This forms strong impervious cuti-
Gle, which secures free circulation of the
sap on the approach Of warm weather and a
perfect union of the parts. Collodion is a
substance that may be found at most drug
stores, and is not very expensive.

A THUNDERBoLT NORTHERN ALABAMA
The Tuscumba n orth Alabaman of the 22nd
instant, contains the proceedings of public
meeting held at Frankfort, in Alabama, at which
the following resolutions. among others OF SIM
liar character, we're passed.
Resoired, That we approve the course pur-
sued by our delegates: Messrs. Watkins and
Steel. in Convention at Montgomery, in not
signing the so-calied secession ordnance.
That secession is inexpedient and unneces-
sary, and the more since majority of the
slave States have refused to go out, either by
what is called ssSouthern cooperation or
ssprecipitate secession," and that the refusal
to submit the SO called secession ordinance
to the decision of the people, is an outrage
upon our right and liberty, and manifests a
spirit of assumption, uDfairness and dictator
ship.
That our Congressional nominee, if elected,
is to represent us in the United States Con-
gress, and not in the Congress of this so-call-
ed ssSouthern Confederacy."

RAISING EARLY TOMATOES, &c.-A cores
pondent of the Country Gentleman gives the
following method for raising early plants ::
Start the seeds in box of moist earth, and
when the plants are about two inches high,
transplant them into turnip, scooped out
filled with fine, rich mold. Set them out in
your hotbed, and when the spring irosts are
past, remove them to the garden. This is bet
ter than making basket for the roots, as
sometimes recommended, as the turnip decays
and nourishes the plant. Tomatoes are bene-
fitted by an early transplanting, which causes
them to throw out more roots and grow sstoc-
ky Do not pinch out the center shoots, un-
less you want succession of lateral suckers
all the season. If you start the seeds in hot
bed, the plants should still be moved, If only
an inch or two, in the bed. or ucumbers,
melons, Lima beans, and other tender plants
that suffer from transpianting, the seeds may
be planted in the turnip. Sink the turnips in
the soil, or they will dry up; or you can keep
them in the house in shallow box, surround
ed with earth.

CURIOUS ANIMAL.-Australa is land full
country are covered with balls OF quartz, shot,
as it were, from some lunar battery the ma
tives kill the jumping kangaroo by shooting
the boomerang Ground the corner 30 and there
is the ornithoryncus, which puzzles naturalists
to classify by its parodoxical pecuiarities. 1t
appears to be link between the quadruped:
bird and reptile. Its body is something like
that of the beavers it has four short legs and
is web footed, and on its little fiat head it has
the bill of duck. These creatures live a
great deal in water; their resorts are quiet
creeks fringed with weeds, among which they
search for food. They burrow in the banks
of streams like moes; in disposition they are
timid, playful and harmless, and they have
been made very amusing pets.

HoT SHOT FROM BRowNLow.-Parson Brown
low, of the Knoxville (Tennessee) Whig, con-
tinues to pour bot shot into the Southern trail
tors. In his last paper he says: eve fire.
quently, receive as many as a half-dozen let
ters in day from the principal Principaities
in the Southern CQnfederacy, threatening us
with death in the most horrible forms. These
revolving States are swarming with despera-
does and assassins. who would feel happy in
bathing their hands in the blood of Union
men. A more ferocious and malevolent bar
barism cannot be found on Gods green earth
than that dominant in this s'Southern
Coniederacy.'' Private worth, public virtue,
age and eXperience-none of these can soften
or restrain the multiplying and relentless bru-
tality which is engendered by the mob spirit
OF this ssnew form of civilization.' Talk a
bout riding a Union editor upon rail! Why,
the Prince of Peace, ifhe were on earth again,
could not traverse the dominions of these
Yanceys, Rhetts, Davises, Slidells, and Wig
falls, and live, without repudiating his Ser
mon on the Mount and proclaiming this South
ern Confederacy to be God ordained, Christ
begotten, and Heaven-approved.

PATRIOTIC HYMN.

Gods blessing be upon
Our own, our native land
The land our fathers won
By the stro ng heart and hand,
The keen axe and brand;
When they felled the forests pride,
And the tyrant foe defed.
The free, the rich, the wide:
God and our native land.
To none upon throne
But G cd, we bend the knee;
No noble name we own
But noble liberty:
Ours is brother band
For the spirit Of our sires
Each patriot bosom fires.
And the strong faith inspires:
God for our native land
Up with the starry sign,
The red stripes and the white.
Where'er its glories shine,
In peace or in the fight,
We own its high command;
For the flag our fathers gave,
Ger our children's he ads shall wave,
And their children's children's grave:.
God for our native land
America, to thee,
In one united VOW,
To keep thee strong and free,
And glorious as now,
We pledge each heart and hand
By the blood our fathers shed
BY the ashes of our dead!
By the sacred soil we tread
God for our native land

Everybody recollects the diamond wedding
of the rich old Cuban and the young New York
belle. A recent letter from Cuba says: alt
may interest my fair readers to remember that
Havana is the home of Sgnor Oveido, the
hero of the diamond wedding. Here he is
known mulatto, at least half black, and he
is said to be Blue Beard for brutality. He
is rich but, as he and his bride are OF course
excluded from all good society, his wealth can
hardly compensate his lady for the sights and
seclusion to which her life is henc eforth des-
tined. A sad and dearly bought conclusion of
SO brilliant bridal"

REASONS FOR CHANGING VOTES.

Messrs. Eilenberger, Leisenring, Byrne,
Smith of Berks, Boyer and Osterhout. Demo
cratic members of the-House of Representa-
tives, who voted against the bill for the prop
er regulation of the Military system OF this
Commonwealth, and supplying them with arms
and equipments, changed their votes yester-
day, by leave of the House, and recorded
them in the affirmative: Mr.. EILENBERGER re-
marked -
voted against the bill; and when did SO,
I did it because | desired, if possible, that
Pennsylvania should, by no act, throw the
least obstacle iu the way of an amcabe adjust
ment of our national difficulties. L had not
then heard of the proceedings at Charleston.
l was yet hopeful for peaceable arrangement
of our troubles; but since then have learned
that the Federal forces have been fired upon I;
that there has been positive refusal to let
Fort Sumter be provisioned. and that actual
war has at last been inaugurated against theGov-
ernment of the U. States. / now feel that
duty to my country, that duty to the Com
monwealth and to my constituency, demand
that | should vote for this measure. | had
hoped that the evil of civil war might be avert
ed. | can only say it has come, and the blame
must rest upon those who have began it.
must stand for the Government. must stand
up for our defence against the enemy l must
stand by the Constitution and the laws, and L
shall do SO willingly, gladly, not only by my
vote, but in every other way which may be re-
quired of me. Pennsylvania has tried by
Kind words and kind acts to avert this evil,
but it is upon us. l shall stand firm IN its de-
fence and in defence of the national Govern
ment let what come may, and may the God of
nations soften the harshness of sectional feel
ing, and yet save our blessed heritage.
Mr.. LEIsENRING said: When the bill, enti-
tied ssAn Act for the better organization of the
militia of the Commonwea alth, !" was before the
House, voted against il because had consci-
entious scruples as to its constitutionality.
Since that time hostilites have commenced a
gainst the Government of the United States,
and an attempt made by an armed force to
seize its property. The President OF the u
nited States has issued proclamation calling
upon all s'loyal citizens to favor, facilitate and
aid'' him in maintaining ssthe honor, the in
tegrity and the existence of our n ational u
nion and the perpetuity of the popular Gov
ernment,'' and for $4,000 men to suppress
combinations against the Government. In
view of these facts, and knowing how soon
Pennsylvanians may be required to 'srepel in
vaSon'' against the Commonwealth, or suppress
insurrection'' within her own borders, i deem
it my duty to ask the unanimous consent of
this House to allow me to change my vote on
the bill for the better organization of the mill
tia of the Commonwealth.
Mr.. SHAFER, the Republican member for
Chester county, who had been unavoidably
absent when the bill passed, also obtained
leave to vote on the same. He voted in COM
mon with all good patriots for the bill.

A NICE LITTLE CHURCH Isc1Drsr.-In @

A NICE LITTLE CHURCH INCIDENT.-In one
of the Washington churches last Sunday a
pretty occurrence took place. After service
young man who carries the collecting plate,
as usual put his hand in his vest pocket to
place upon it piece ofmoney before starting
quarter on the plate, and without looking at
it, passed around among the congregation.
ssInstead of silver, however, he had inadvert-
emily placed conversation lozenger in the
centre of the plate, and all were astonished at
seeing the lozenger with the words staring
them in the face, 'sWill you marry me 70

doubt it was the sight of them that caused
the mistake.

TEXAS TRooPs AND TwIGGs' TREAsoS.-A
United States soldier from Texas writes TO the
New York Post, denying that the men there
were demoralized and infected by Gen. Twiggs'
treason. He says e'When the news reached
us at Fort Brown, a thrill of Indignation ran
through every soldiers breast, and nothing
but respect for one who had been our superior
officer, or rather respect for the Office he had
filed, prevented loud expression OF our sur
prise and contempt AS it was, we could not
be prevented from talking among ourselves.
One of our men, who was considered sort of
spokesman among us-one who is as brave as
a lion and as true as steel-was grooming his
horses when he first heard of it. Some one
told him that Gen. Twiggs had surrendered
the government troops and property. He turn
on his informant and said ''Gen. Twiggs may
surrender the property to the traitors he may
give himself up, and he can take my horses
here but he can't make me any other u
nion man surrender There was no audible
response to this, but the looks of every one
who heard him were expressive of their deter
mnation to serve that government faithfully
into whose service they had voluntarily enter
ed, and whose bread and butter they were eat
ing" That's the right kind of talk.

DIR. FRANKLIN said :-ssThere seems to be
but three ways for a nation to acquire wealth.
The first is by war, as the Romans did, in
plundering their neighbors, this is robbery.
The second by commerce, which is frequent
ly cheating. The third by agriculture, the
only honest way wherein man receives
real increase of the seed thrown into the
ground in kind of continued miracle,
wrought by the hand of God in his favor as
reward for his innocent life and his virtuous
industry.
