Failure Of Crops In RurOpe-Prospect Of
LarEe BNpous rrsm America.
D Private letters, says the New York Herald,
received in this city from ST. Petersburg an-
nounce that the wheat crop hroughout
Russia is likely to fall very short this year.
The excitement created among the serfs by
emancipation measures Of the Government,
and the difficulty of getting them TO work,
are assigned as the causes. Those countries
therefore, which depend upon Russia and
the United States to make up the de6cien.
cies in their own crops are likely TO be
thrown exclusively on our aid.
Notwithstanding that the dullness which
prevailed at the last advices in the English
corn market would imply confidence in the
prospects of the next harvest, the facts
scarcely warrant that conclusion. Wheat,
owing to the coldness of the early part Of
the season, has been unusually backward,
and it wore, until within the last month,
that yellow hue which causes SO much
sn1iety 10 the farmer. A few weeks of genial
weather have, Of course, affected a consider.
able alteration in its appearance; but we
question much, from the accounts that reach
us, if the English crop will be an average
one. In the Northern and midland counties
il may prove so but in the Western coun-
ties 50 decided has been the failure that large
bIeadths of the young plant have been
ploughed up and other things sown in its
place.
In France the crops have been seriously
injured by the severe frosts of the Winter
and the Spring drought. 1t is now conceded
that they will fall considerably below the
average, ard accordingly extensive orders
have been given for the purchase of foreign
wheat. The shipments to England from the
Baltic ports for the last month or two have
been of very inferior quality, and the quan
tity also shows great falling off. To this
country, therefore, both England and France
will have to look for the greater proportion
of the breadstuffs that they will consume
until the harvest of 1862 comes to their re.
lief. Happily, wei are in position TO supply
them to any extent. AS if to compensate
for the political misfortunes by which We
have been visited, Providence has been more
than usually bountiful to our farmers thi:
year. The crops all through the West and
North. west are magnificent, and the yield
generally will be the largest and finest evel
known.
AS set off to the loss of their Southern
customers, the Western farmers will find il
the increased demand from abroad ready
market for their surplus grain. The quauti
ties already preparing for shipment at oul
Northern ports are reported to be unusually
large, and there is every probability ths
they will continue so for many months K
come. The effect of this will, of course, b,
| TO prevent any check TO the influx of specie
| which is such an anomalous feature of ou
| present condition, and to alleviate much o
the distress and suffering which are tn
usual concomitants Of war.

The columbiad or paixhan, pronounced
payzen) is large gun designed princi-
pally for firing shells-it being far more
accurate than the ordinary short mortar
A mortar is a very short cannon with q
very large bore, some Of them thirteen
inches in diameter for firing shells. Those
in use in our army are set at an angle of
forty-fve degrees, and the range of she'll is
varied by altering the charge of powder.
The she'll is caused to explode at just about
the time it strikes by means of fuse, the
length of which is adjusted to the time of
fight TO be occupied by the ball. which Of
course corresponds with the range. The
accuracy with which the time of the burn
ing of fuse can be adjusted by varying
is surprising; good artillerists generally
succeed in having their shells explode at
the exact instant of striking. In loading
q mortar the shell is carefully placed with
the fuse directly forward, and when the
piece is discharged, the shell is SO COM
pletely enveloped with flame, that the fuse
is nearly always fired. The fuse is made
by filing a wooden cylinder with fuse
powder, the cylinder being of sufficient
length for the longest range, to be cut
down shorter for the shortest ranges.
A Dahlgren gun is an ordinary cannon,
except that it is very thick at the breach
for three or four feet, when it tapers down
SHARPLY to less than the usual size. This
form was adopted in consequence Of the
experiments of Captain Dahlgren of the
United States Navy, having shown that
when a gun bursts it usually gives way o
the breach. The ship of war Ngaara is
armed with these guns, and at the Brook
lyn Navy-yard there are sixty, weighing
about nine thousand pounds each, and six
Of twelve thousand pounds each, the for
mer of which are capable Of carrying a
nine-inch and the latter ten-inch she'll
distance of two or three miles, and there
is one gun Of this pattern which weighs
fifteen thousand nine hundred and sixteen
pounds and is warranted to send an eleven
inch shell four miles.
A casemate is stone roof to fort made
suffi fficiently thick to resist the force of can
non balls, and a casemate gun is one which
is placed under a casemate.
A barbette gun is one which is placed
on the top of fortifcation.
An embrasure is the hole or opening
through which guns are fired from fortif-
cations.
Loopholes are openings in walls to fire
musketry through.-Scientife american.

The Minister'S Aim.

Every man has ruling motive, which
shapes his general course of conduct. In
every profession ond department of bust
ness, this law prevails. The youth, while
contemplating the future, has the ideal
which is likely to influence him more or
less through life. Some seek for pleasure,
others wealth, others renown-in all their
various forms as adapted TO the powers and
circumstances of the aspirants. So far as
having a leading object is concerned this
is right; all should have such an object
only each is bound to see that it is o
worthy one.
Now, what should be the great aim of the
Gospel minister? Too many, it is to be
feared, who bear this sacred name, have
not the noble aim they might be expected
10 have, or do not pursue it with the re-
quisite singleness Of purpose. They are
TOO much controlled byIsome worldly, self
ish policy, like the mass, and so fail to
honor their high and holy calling.
An eligible position, honor and influence,
reputation for learning, eloquence great
ness practically have a wide sway. But
as ultimate aims, they are all aside from
the real purposes of the Gospel. The Cos
pei is adapted 10 specific end it's mem
bers are appointed and commissioned Of
God for definite purpose, and from this
they are not at liberty to swerve.
This great purpose is the salvation of
souls. For this the scheme of grace was
devised to this end all the great forces of
Gods moral government tend, and to this
should the active energies of his servants
be directed Their plans may be ever so
much diversified, but they should all be sub
ordinate TO, and center in this governing
object. The Gospel minister should have
his heart absorbed in this great work. For
lie should study pray, preach, visit, to Sc
cure the salvation of souls. If he prospers
here, he is a successful minister what
ever else may attend him. if he fails here,
his ministry, however noted in other re-
spects, is essentially failure.

The Ohio Farmer makes the following
sensible remarks:
As the season for making hay is ap-
preaching, we will give few words of
caution in advance. Don't dry your hay
too much. Hay may be dried till it is as
worthless as straw. AS a good coffee
maker would say, "Don't burn your coffee,
but brownit;" SO we say, don't dry your
hay, but cure it. Our good old mothers,
who relied on herb tea instead Of
tpotecary medicine" gathered their herbs
when in blossom, and cured them in the
shade. This is the philosophy of making
good hay. Cut in the blossom, and cure in
the shade. The sugar of the plant, when
it is in bloom, is in the stalk, ready to
form the seeds. If the plant is cut earlier,
the sugar is not there ; if later, the sugar
has become converted to woody matter.
Hay should be well wilted in the sun,
but cured in the cock. Better to be a
little too green than too dry. If, on putting it
into the barn, there is danger of cheating
in the mow," put ON some salt. Cattle will
like it none the less.
Heat light and dry winds, will soon take
the starch and sugar, which constitute the
| goodness of hay, out of it and with the
addition of showers, render it almost worth
less. Grass cured with the least exposure
to the drying winds and scorching sun
shine, is more nutritious than if longer ex-
posed, however good the weather may be
If ever cured, it contains more woody fibre
and less nutritiye matter
The true art of hay-making, then, con-
sists in cutting the grass when the starch
and sugar are most fully developed, and
before they are converted into seed and
woody fibre; and curing it up to the point
when it will answer to put it into the barr
without heating, and no more.

d - lor Aid lro,n rorn.

A nun.b1f cf citizens Of Brasoris County,
Texas, write as follows to the New York
Courier and Enquirer; IrJ
At the request Of the friends Of the Union
In this county, we ask you 10 make known
our present situation In your Journal as II
would be worse than madness 10 attempt TO
do so in any of the Southern papers. We
implore aid from our brethren at the North,
to sustain us in our rights as American citi-
zeps and supporters of the Union. You can
not imagine the cruel treatment inflicted on
us by the rebels, the Secessionists. All who
refuse to aid and abet in the rebellion must
suffer death. A man dare not own to be
Union man here. The cry is, Down with
the Union, and hang tie Aboltionists." A
free white man, unless be is a stakeholder or
Secessionist, is worse than nobody. There
are gangs of murderers, who style them.
selves Vigilance Committees, in this and the
adjoining counties, who have committed
some of the most atrocious deeds on record.
The poor class of this country are the prin.
cipal sufferers. Those that are unable to
own slaves are the ones to suffer the unjust
punishment. The murderers will ask, "Did
you vote for secession2n "No SirP "Then,
Sir, you are an Abolitionist, and must be
dealt with accordingly" Consequently,
they must pull hemp, or be shot down like a
dog. We are running great risk by send
ing this communication to you. We are few
in number, and entirely powerless, and
would rather die than desert our country.
viii not our country help us, at least assist
us to escape from this horrid scene of cold
blooded murder2
We value not our properties; but our FAM
| lilies, our wives and children must be saved.
Will not the North give those who are true
| to the country chance to show their 10y
| atty? Hoping you will give us fair show
| ing, we subscribe ourselves.

GrOomIng IL Horse.

The benefits arising from proper groom
ing have often been placed before our read
ers, and we extract the following upon this
subject from the American AgriculturiSt
"What do you give your horses to keep
them in such fine condition 2" asked a
young farmer of his neighbor, whose team
of bays were the pride of their owner, and
the admiration of the village. Goats, car
rots, and plenty of brush, was the reply.
There is little need of insisting on the
necessity of good food, and plenty of it, 10
have a horse remain vigorous. Every one
knows that bone, and sinew, and muscle,
are manufactured from hay, oats, corn,
etc., and that the raw material must be
supplied to produce the strong limb, elastic
step, noble spirit, which makes a fine
horse the universal fayorite he is. But the
important part which the skin bears in the
animal economy, and the necessity of prop
erly cleansing and keeping it in healthy
condition, are not fully appreciated.
Rough, staring coats, grease or scratches,
infammations, and q whole catalogue of
diseases, find their origin in neglect of
proper grooming. The skin Of the horse,
like that Of other animals, not only affords
protection TO the parts within, but by the
pores affords an outlet to large part of
the waste of the body. Currying and
brushing should not be done in the stable /;
the dust and scurf will be scattered in the
manger to mix with the horse-feed, besides
keeping the stable uncleanly. Take the
animal into the open air, tie him securely,
and handle him so gently that he will en-
joy, rather than dread, the application Of
the comb and brush.
