She had been literally cut to pieces, and

found that the audacious craft was tho Pet

in Charleston prior to the taking Of Sumter,
and some accounts say that she had been du-

Some of the men, when fshed out Of the
water, were at loss to know what had
happened to them. The suddenncss Of the
St. Lawreuco's reply, the deafening roar Of
the guns and the splinters and submerged
vessel, were oil incidents that happened In
less time than We can take to relate them.

Field Crops in Succession.

The market gardener understands the ar
Of growing two or three cropsa year iron
the same piece Of land, having each succee'
the other, and realizing profit from all
The farmer Is satisfied with one good crop IL
q season, bat why cannot he grow morc'
The Homestead calls attention to this sub
ject, and gives some examples showing the
relative profit ofgrowiug two crops in year
over tha, Of producing only one. Our grass
fields. IL made rich will readily yield two
crops; in the Geld appropriated to hOed erOrs,
carrots or beans may follow very early pota-
toes and turnips can he planted among corr
at the last hoeing in July. BY this method
the farmer will set double the profits, pearly
from the same amount fland. at the same
requiring but little more capital to carry Out
the plan.
The great want is manure. II would be
useless to attempt to grow two crops on land
hardly rich enough to produce one. The
Homestead says:
"To make succession crops profitable, we
must have more manure. The soil that is
capable Of producing only Iorty bushels Of
corn to the acre ought not to be taxed with
second crop, unless it have help. With
plenty Of manure we may take two crops an-
nualiy, and get much larger interest on
our capital, while we keep the farm con-
stantly improving. When all crops are like
ly TO rule high, 1t is favorable time to invest
largely in manure, and make the soil yield
all it will"
Peas are very valuable field crop, and
we think more attention should be given
them. They may be planted early IN the
spring without danger Of frost, and are re-
gardcd as a reuovsting crop, because they
contain larger amount of nitrogenous mate
rial than oats or any other cereal. The
large amount Of nitrogen which they contain,
aud their consumption upon the farm fnrn-
ishes manure rich in ammonia-the very
thing most needed for the growth OF cereals,
An estimate made by Mr.. Lawes, gives the
value OF manure from a ton ofpeas at Sl3 ,3s,
and from ton Of oats at $40. The diff
ference is on account Of the large amount Of
nitrogen in the peas. After the peas are
harvested, crop of turnipsc can be grown up
on the same land without difficulty, forming
succession which the prudent farmer should
endeavor to avail himself Of.

Tho Sinking OF tho Privateor
"Petrel."

The Philadelphia correspondent OF the N.
Y. Herald gives the following account of the
sinking Of the privatccr "Petrel" by the
frigate st. Lawrence:
"The leading naval event Of the war camc
to light in this city yesterday (6th). by the
arrival of the gunboat Flag at Fort MiiIin,
simultaneou, with Fortress Monroe dis
patch, relating the capture Of tho crew Of
the pIiyatecr Pctrel. and the sinking Of the
vessel, Of Charleston harbor. The Flag
sailed from this navy yard on the latter part
of May. some time before the departure Of
the irigate st. Lawrence. She cruised of
Hampton Roads and various parts Of the
coast between Cape Henry and Savannah,
holding in check the pirates that swarmed
out from the inlcp and sounds, and over
hauling merchant vessels Of whatsoever kind.
The st. Lawrence likewise sailed down the
Carolina coast, in the day time closing her
ports and maintaining tho scmblancc OF n
very respectable merchant vessel. Tho crew
were kept below she showed the stars and
stripes at the peak, but maintained guisc
so cautious that none but experienced mar.

the small shoal islands on the Carolina coast.
on the afternoon Of the lst Of August, when

coming out Of Charleston harbor. making
directly for the supposed merchantman.-
The St. Lawrence affected to crowd oil sail
and get out to ssa. bat in reality was edging
close in to the stranger, and making pcpa-
rations to open tho ports and dclusc her with
shot. The pirates deck was seen crowded
with men. and the guunen distinctly seen
ramming and pointing the guns. She flew
tho rebel Gag, and shouted twice for the mer-
