GOLD MEN FOR CoUNsEL.-YoUNG MEN
FOR WAR. The above adage is as good as
1t is old, and may well apply to our generals
OF to-day. Give us the caution of age to plan,
but the dash of youth to execute. Old generals
in the war council but young generals in the
field. In our war with the south, we must
have generals who combine activity and milit-
airy knowledge, and better under 40 years of
age than over 90. 1t is no reproach to our
present crop of generals TO assert that age has
disqualified them for actice service. All the
most successful chieftians the world has ever
seen have been young men. Alexander the
Great conquered the world and died before he
was thirty two Juiias Caesar died at fifty six,
the conqueror of five hundred battles Hanni-
bal won the battle of Gamma before he was
tlirty-one Charlemagne gained all his lau-
rels before he was thiry-siX at forty, Henry
~, of Navarro, had overcome all his enemies
and placed himself on the throne of France ;

Garibaldi, won their military glory in early
life. Frederick the Great, at forty three, with
a population OF five millions, sustained himself
against league OF one hundred millions, Ma

To the last battle set, throughout the earth!

Inc hosts OF justice and eternal right
Uniurl their banner in this solemn hour
A king rides forth, whose eyes, as burning fire.
Wither oppression in their dazzling tiame
And he hath sworn TO right all human wrong
BY the dread power of his mysterious name.
Der all the earth resounds his trumpet-call,
Are mastering in their ranks and thronging
To hail the brightness of his rising light
And all the armies that behind him ride
Come in white raiment, spoess the snow
"Freedom and justice" is their battle cry,
And all the earth rejoices as they go.
Shoulder to shoulder ride the brother bands
Brave hearts and tender, with undaunted eye;
With manly patience ready to endure,
With gallant daring resolute to die.
They know not fear for what have they to fear
Who all have counted, and have all resigned,
And laid their lives solemn Offering down
For laws, fer truth, for treedOm-tor mankind?
No boastful words are theirs, nor murderous zeal,
Nor courage fed with the inebriate bowl;
But their brave hearts show in true touch and time
The sober courage of the manly soul.
All who can say how precious and how dear
These noble hearts OF thousand homes the light?
Yet wives and mothers, smiling through their tears
Gave them unmuimuring to the holy fight.
o, brothers, banded for this sacred war!
Keep your white garments spotess still and pure
Be prestly warriors, halowing the right
So shall your victory be swift and sure
So shall the spotlcss King with whom We ride
Make vile disorder from the earth to cease
And Times Triumphant songs at last shall hail
The victory OF a true and righteous peace.

STIRRING UP THE DARKIEs.-Some four
or five steamboat crews Of negroes, free and
slave hands, cooks, chambermaids and all,
were yesterday taken off their respective
boats by the police, under the mayors order,
and confined in the first district lookup all in
consequence o. the lately discovered fact that
the free negroes have come here and passed
themselves off for slaves with fictitious passes.
1t also being ascertained that many western
slaves of incendiary sentiments have been
mngling with and laboring to demoralize our
local slave population, the mayor, upon con-
sultation with the governor and the military
authorities, and by their advice, has ordered
the police to break up all slave assemblages,
religious and otherwise. The measure is en-
forced to preclude the possibility of the slaves
being tempered with.-N. o. Crescent.

STEAM GUNS.

FIVE HUNDRED BALLS A MINUTE. On
Friday last, new war engine, of the war or
der, was exhibited in New York CITY 1t is
intended to throw an uninterrupted stream of
four hundred and eighty balls per minute.
The machine consists of gun barrel about
three feet long, at the breech.o OF which is at.
tached a f1ange or balance wheel. The balls
are thrown into this wheel pass into the q n
barrel and out at the muzzle, with speed and
force proportionate TO the number of revolu-
tons Of the wheels the former, however, be-
ing limited, from natural causes, to about four
hundred and eighty balls. Rapid motion is
given to the f1ange or balance wheel by means
of combination of gear wheels the motive
power being applied by large fly wheel
which is operated by six men at cranks The
gun was stationed at the loot of thirty-third
street, North river and target was placed at
distance of fifty yards. Most OF the balls
took effect in the target, passing through three
thickness OF boards. The gun was afterwards
raised to an elevation Of thirty degrees and
pointed across the river, where the shower of
balls was seen dropping into the water of the
opposite shore, distance of about a mile.
l he machine operates with but little noise
other than the hum of the wheels and tile
clank Of the balls as they pass into the gun
barrel. This small one is chiefly intended for
street firing or close action thirty two
FOUNDER has also been completed, which can
be driven by steam, upon the same principle
An effort will be made to induce the govern
ment to patronize this new invention, and, it
is said, Mr.. Mcleod Murphy intends taking
one for his regiment.
The WINAN's STEAM GUN,--This instru-
ment rests on four wheels, the boiler is like
,hat of an ordinary steam fire engine, the cyl
inder being upright. There is but one barrel,
which is of steel, on pivot, and otherwise is
like an ordinary musket barrel. 1t is fed or
loaded through hopper entering the barrel
directly over the pivot. The barrel has ro-
tary motion, and performs the circumference,
by machinery attached at the rate of about
sixteen hundred times minute. The balls
are let into the barrel through valve at will,
and every time the barrel comes round to
certain point, another valve, self operated, lets
out a ball, which is propelled solely by the
velocity OF the barrel in revolving Ii will
discharge a two ounce ball three hundred
times a minute. The range is accurate up
and down, but the balls are liable to hit wide
OF the mark one side or the other. The bar
rel revolves inside of drum, made OF boiler
iron, between five and six feet in circum.er-
ence, with an opening where the balls arc dis
charged. Its range is not over one hundred
yards at best, and the gun can be worked so
as to discharge it in any direction The whole
thing weighs about 600 pounds, and is about
the size of a steam fire engine. is the opin
ion OF our informant that the gun does not war
rant the expectations OF the inventor.

then, the crop is as good as half:lost. On.
ions are not injured by working among
them when bottoming. although care is nee
essary not to knock down the tops, nor dis.
turb the bulbs when growing; but bad
usage is better than entire neglect, Weeds
should not be permitted to 60 20 seed on
the ground intended for onions the next
year, after the rOpis removed. It is some
times necessary to hoe the ground entirely,
and carry off the weeds that may have
grown after the onions have been pulled.
The great pest Of onion.ground is purslain
and this must be watched and dealt with in
a summary way. 1t may he hardly fleces-
sary TO suggest here that the fences and bor-
ders Of OniOn.grounds should be kept clean
and tidy. A man will hoe from half an
acre to an acre Of onions per day.
FAcTs FOR Poor FARMERS. far
mers who have most difficulty to make both
ends meet, always plow most and keep most
stock. Now these men take the true plan
to keep themselves always poor, because
their crops and stock are always poor, and
bring little. 1t is good profit to raise three
hundred bushels Of wheat from ten acres,
but when it takes thirty acres to raise that
amount, it is raised at loss. So it is with
cattle and sheep. You will see the thinking
farmer making four year old steers worth
from sixty to eighty dollars each, and his
neighbor's, at the same age, not worth over
twenty-five to forty dollars. To the latter
we would say, if your land is exhausted,
plow no more than you can thoroughly ma.
nure, seed with clover and grass, and let it
rest, and that field will not only pay well
for tillage, but it will furnish manure (if
rightly managed) to make another field Of
the same size rich also. And then keep it
rich; do not run it with grain until again ex.
hausted, or the latter end of that land will
be worse than the first.
TREEs IN THE VICINITY OF BARN YARDS
1t would be well If farmers would surround
their barn yards and pig.pens with fruit
trees. Such bear abundantly, and heavy
crops Of plums can often be obtained in such
places, as the stung fruit can be picked up and
devoured as soon as it falls, thus preventing
the increase of the curculio. Apples, pears,
cherries, and all other fruit do well for IKE
same reason, and they are also provided with
a plentiful amount Of liquid manure from the
drainage Of the barnyard.
HHAvY LoADs.-Farmers often load their
teams unmercIfdlly. They do not like to
with moderate sized load. The result Of.
ten is that the horses often become clumsy,
get stiff and eulargen joints, and are ren.
dered unit for the carriage or saddle. If q
horse Is never required for these purposes,
they may be accustomed to draw very heavy
loads, If carefully used. Commence by
loading lightly, and increase moderately
until the required strength is attained.
