Seed clover should be mown with a grass

to small cocks TO cure the large stems and
dry the whole plants 50 that the seed may
be thrashed out easily. The thrashing Is
best done BY the trcading Of horses or mules,
either on plank floor, or on smooth, hard
earth. A large wagon or cart load Of dry
hay makes good " ilooring," as farmers
say, upon which four or more horses walk
and trot round until the seed Is trodden

This vegetable, like almost every other
kind, requires a differens culture in the
South. from that which 1t gets at the North.
Our winters are so mild, that the turnip in
some Of its varieties, will grow through the
whole winter, and the careful cuItiyator may
have turnips fit for the table every month
in the year. ife
For the first fall crop, plant the early
white Dutch; SOW as soon after the TWEEN
tieth Of July. as a season offers to vegetate
the seeds for garden culture, sow in drills
for field culture, SOW broadcast. For late

an object as well as good roots. SOW the

mount Of foliage. with rs large succulent
stem, which this turnip produces, should

cislly for plantation uses. But of all the
turnirs for Southern soil. and Southern

not wish to proclaim their own merit, but
they would be very glad that others should
discover 1t. They would have the reputa-
tion both Of virtue and Of the desire to hide
it.
As to the matter Of speaking against our
selves, do not either blame or recommend
H. When il arises from true simplicity, and
that hatred with which God inspires US Of
our sins. il is admirable, aud thus regard
il in many holy men. But usually the surest
and most simple way is not to speak unne-
cessarlly Of ones self, either geod or evil.
Self love often prefers abuse to oblivion and
silence; aud when we have often spoken i'll
OF ourselves. we are quite ready to be recon.
ciled, just like angry lovers, who, after
qnarrei, redouble their blind devotion TO each
other.
This simplicity is manifested in the exte-
rior. As the mind is freed from this idea Of
sell, we act more naturally, all art ceases,
we acl rightly. without thinking Of what we
are doing, BY sort Of directness OF purpose,
that is inexplicable to those who have no ex :
per'ence Of It. To some we may appear less
simple than those who have more grave and
practised manner; but these are people Of
bad taste. who take the aflectation Of nodes
~ for modesty itself. and who have no
knowledge of true simplicity. This true
simplicity has sometimes careless and ir-
regular appearance. but it has the charm ot
/ truth aud candor, and sheds around it,
know not what Of pure and innocent. Of
cheerful and peaceful; loveliness that wins
US when We see it intimately and with pure
eyes.
How desirable Is this simplicity! who will
give It To mef will quit all else; il is the
pearl Of great price. Psnelon.

The Galveston News, of the 2lstult., says
We learn from good authority that Mr.. Chas
Smith, formerly of the postotice in this city,
shot Lieut.. II Stanhope. Of the Davis Coast
Guards Of this city, now at Fort Brown, last
week, A 3, as we could learn, the facts were
as follows Lieutenant Stanhope gave an order
to Smith who private in his company
which Smith refused 10 execute Lieut.. Stan
hope walking out some time afterward, encOun-
tered Smith, who armed with a rifle
Smith asked him Are you armed z" Stan
hope answered "No-only with my fist Upon
which Smith shot him through the heart, killing
him instantly. There is no doubt but justice
will be meted out to him speedily, as the garri
son was much excited against Smith.

TO Gov. Cjarks representations, Secretary Wal
ker has taken into the confederate States service
the regiment Of mounted rihemen raised by our
State Convention, with Col. Ford, Lieut.. Col
Baylor aud Major Waller as the chief officers.
Lieutenant Colonel John L. Baylor arrived
at San Antonio on the 7th, to organize the regi-
meut of mounted rihemen ordered by the con-
vention. Col Ford commanding the regiment,
is on the lower Rio Grsnde. Lieutena nt
Colonei Baylor, we learn, is to be stationed with
half of the regiment on the upper Rio Grande,
with headquarters at El. Paso. This removes
him from our northern frontier, where he would
be of the most service from his intimate knOwl-

influence in that section Of the State.

INTERESTING FROM MEXICO.-The New
Orleans papers have advices from the city of
Mexico to the 9TH Of May. The only item of
consequence is an article in the Trait
d'Union, (French) announcing the arrival of
Mr.: COrwln, the new Minister of the United
States, and urging that he could not be re-
ceived as representing the United States, in
elusive Of the Confederate States, as he would
undoubtedly claim to be. We quote por-
tion of the article
in what capacity does this representative,
appointed by Mr.. Lincoln. come here Ev-
identity in the capacity OF Minister of the
United States, that is TO say of the Confedera-
cy. and as it was before the separation of the
States of the South. Can he, ought he to
be received in that capacity That is the
first question to be resolved.
We must be very careful on that point
The first step on su uch grounds may be very
DANGEROUS Mr.. Corwin would not only be
simply recognized as the representative of
only the States Of the North and the Mexi-
can Government cannot recognize him rep

Mr.. Corwin comes, as is said, TO conclude
the treaty That Question may be handled la
ter. The only question for the present Is
that of this reception, and frankly. the case
seems 70 US a very embarrassing one. Per-
haps il will be submitted to Conrr.ss. We

II must not be forgotten that the Republi-
can party-the same that Mr.. Corwin repre-

treaty had been made by government whose

against the Republicans for the authority
Of Mr.. Lincoln lis certainly very taT from

considerations not less potent. The necessity
