shadow the coming recognition OF the
rebel States of the South as an independ-

announces that for himself and other Eu-

tional relations can be- established with
its rulers.
Tribune's Dispatch.-Major General
Fremont received bis commission today
in the regular army. The only other
Maj. General so commissioned is McCiel
Ian, to whom he therefore ranks next.
The question daily asked in military
circles is, why has not Patterson pushed
forward his column, and not KEEP. every
body waiting? The Government has de-
cided 10 take him out of the way. 1t is
generally believed here that general ad-
vance will be ordered to begin on the l1th
of July.
Gen. Fremont received instru ctions to
proceed to Harper's Ferry to command
the division under Gen. Patterson.
1t is considered certain that the House
of Representatives will be organized
promptly on Thursday, and that the Prsi
dents message will be delivered on that
day, and also that there will be short
session and quick despatch of business.

brutal outrage on her person. She came
back heart broken, and put up at wretch

Where iSif nIIto g,ndl

That's the question the people are ask
ing.
They are willing to pay taxes on their
land their buildings, their capital their
cash, their income-on everything they
eat, drink and wear; and they are willing
to send their sons into the army to be
MANNED for life or slain out right in bat
tie, in order to save the Union; but the
question with them is beginning to be
VIII the Union be saved thereby?
The people want to know wether this
war IS to become struggle between the
North and South for supremacy and test
the relative military strength Of the two
sections. If it is, the bulk of the people
who pay the taxes and furnish soldiers,
want nothing to do with it. They have
no stomach for sectional fight to deter
mine whether the North or the South
shall wear the champions belt
The people want to know of the Ad-
men, if, when they talk of
No compromise with rebels, "they mean
that the Administration will entertain
no propositions for compromise from.
or propose none to the Southern people.
If so, we shall all understand that the
war is to be carried on as a mere trial
of strenght-for conquest, with the sword
alone, disdaining to accept or tender the
olive branch, The people are in for no
such vindictve war. They don't want
they disdain any compromise with reb-
els or traitors; but they DO demand of the
at washington, and of
the party that controls that administra-
ion, that the voice Of Southern men who
love the Union, shall be heard.
The people desire to see the war pros
ecutel for the purpose of putting down
rebellion; but they demand that the Un-
ion feeling in the South should not be
rushedl out along with rebellion. This
sentiments affords them the only ground
Of hope for restoration of the Union
They see that, unless this Union senti-
meut can be cherished and made efficient
in the South, the Union cannot be saved
rom certain dissolution. Hence, the pop
liar demand is becoming loud and urgent
hat the sword shall be wreathed with the
olive Statesman.

One Thousand weeds mt one
Pull.

a single pigweed, if left undisturbed,
will ripen more than ten thousand seeds,
each capable Of producing a successor.
The seeds of the dock sometimes number
over thirteen thousand on single plant,
and the total flax leaves provision for
more than forty five thousand plants the
following year. Burdock multiplies
twenty-one thosand fold, and the COM
mon singing nettle ripens one hundred
thousand seeds. Scarcely weed comes
to maturity without scattering from one
to ten thouSond or more seeds, to iniure
crops and annoy the cultivation. This
is not mere guess work, for pains-taking
Investigators have actually counted and
calculated the increase. A single pull
at the commencement OF the season will
destroy the whole progeny.
1t should be remembered that seeds
mature sufficiently to vegetate before they
are perfectly dry and again, that the seeds
are ripe on part of plant while there are
flowers on another. Hence it is not safe
to wait till the flowers are gone, before
pulling up the weeds. Attact them be-
fore they blossom. Pull them up, or if
ANNALS, cut them off when quite green
and spread in the sun to die, He who
allows the weeds to grow in his potatoe
field until he harvests the crop, is quite
snrc to SOW many Millions of sees for next
years trouble.
This much for annual and biennial
weeds. Perennials, like the dock and
thistle, should be treated with greater Wig
or. Cutting off the tops once will not
suffice. Digging them up one by one,
root and branch, is the only eliectual rem
cdy. Where they have invaded whole
field, plow up the land in the fall, leav-
ing many of the roots exposed to the win
ter's frost. The leaves being the lungs
of plants, are essential to teeir breathing,
and if this important operation be stop
ped, they must soon give up the ghost
Remember, every weed eXtermingtcd this
year, is death to a thousand of the future
crop.

4 GiOOIny Picture,

The Chicago Times very tluthfully
says: "There is no direction in which we
gaze which does not present some posi-
tive impending evil-the result of the ig-
nornnce and partizan blindness of the re-
publican leaders. Thus it is universally
conceded that the slain at Bull Run were
murdered by the Wilson's, ,Lovejoys, Chan
dlers, Greeleys, and others of that ilk.-
To these men, too, we may impute tho
probability that the European nations
will recognize the rebel goverr ment, and
the confidence which that fact, united to
the recent victory, will give to the rebels
themselves, We have now another and
unexpected source Of danger, which may
be traced directly to the fanaticism Of
these men. In Mexico apprehensions are
beginning to be felt, that the slaves will
be freed, through the influence Of these
political adventurers and that as they
cannot stay in the South, and will not
be permitted to migrate to the North,
they will take refuge in the Mexican
States, and overrun them with the worst
population under the sun. So we see that
everywhere anti-slavery, which it was
proclaimed on every stump in the land
last fall would attract to us the sympathy
of all the nations, and would insolate the
south, is really the greatest weakness
Mhich aillicts the Federal cause. Not
one single power on the face of the earth
will abandon dollar or endure an incon-
venience because the North elected Re-
/ publican President, or because revoltcd
States hold men in bondage"

volunteers Pay.

Congress last week passed the bill
to increase the pay of Volunteers tive
dollars per month, giving them thirteen
dollars instead of eleven,
When the bill was under discussion in
the House, Mr.. Stephens of Pa said that
"the expense of the government were at
the rate of two million two hundred and
fifty thousand per day, and he could not
see where the money was to come from. "
1t might be an easy matter to pay vol
unteers better if there was not so much
thieving and rascality going on in the
contract department of the government.

How The Negro Pants for slave
~.

The Chicago Times says the war has
dispelcd one delusion of the abolitionists.
The negroes regard them as enemies in
stead of friends. No insurrection has oc-
cured in the South, no important stam-
pede of slaves has evinced their desire
for freedom. On the contrary they have
ieered and insulted our troops, have read
ily enlisted in the rebel army, and on
Sunday at Manassas, shot down our men
with as much alacrity as if abolition had
never existed, These are the cratures for
whose sake Loveioy, Chandler and Pom
eroy are agetating the nation, and to
whom they would unconditionaly extend
the privileges OF freedom. Amore abject,
treacherous race never lived on the face
of the earth.
