THEIR OREAT DRFIcIENCY.-There was never
an army Of Its size 30 utterly deficient in It's COM
missary's and quartermsster's departments as that
now in arms against the United States. While
the oligsrchy can doubtless for the time being
raise and arm 100 coo fighting men, Il is very
Questionable whether they can trans port the baG-
gage, &c, OF ten Thousand anywhere twenty
miles OF from railroad; and IL can ONLY trans
port It's troops on railroads by obtaining the use
Of the roads gratuitously. None Of the various
Southern railroad com panies are at this time raw
ing their employees ten per centum of their former
regular wages. Their employees have given
them the option OF serving thus gratuitouslv
against the United States or serving In the ranks
as common soldiers; prompt enlistment In their
reg ulGr army being tbs only test Of the LOYALTY TO
them OF any one suspected Of sympathy with the
cause Of the Union A large portion Of the rail-
road employees Of the South are Northern men.
and are serving thus against the United States
under virtual comPulston, as explained above
They have not at the South a single wagon
maknS establishment capable OF turning out ten
suitable army transportation wagons Der diem
nor have they there asingle harness making esiab.
Asnment capable OF making in a day the harness
necessary for ten such wagons. They are further
wholly deficient In the means Of producing every
thing beceaafy In carrying on war With their
ports efnciently bioekaded and their means of
ootalnlng supplies Of any kind from the North
rigorousiy cut off, IL will not be long ere tbey
discover that men and arms without other ma
nIiSI OF campaign, afford a poor reliance indeed,
for success In war.
Besides the proclaimed desire TO shift the bu,-
dens Of the war of their own shoulders on to
those OF Virginia, the great exertions Of the oil
Sarchy to send troops in this direction arises from
the inpossibility Of feeding them much Longer
further South. They intend that Virginia sbaIl
be eaten as bare Of provisions by them, as South
Carolina has been, long Iince.

ion were but few in the ground and unus'
ually small in size.
The grass WAS a heavy crop and the hay
generally made and moved in good order.
the consequence Is our stock arc healthy
and in good condition. VI.
In Karthaus township we have some
thirty or more farms. most OF which are
well improved and in good state of cult
vation, besides We have u number more.
some of which are just opening, when
improved will be good iarms.
The frat good and substantial frame Janh
barn was built on the Salt Lick property
in the year ls5l in size 60 feet long by ~
feet wide. Since that time we have a
dozen or more frame hank barns erected,
similar in size and manner, which addr
much to the improvement Of the neigh>
borhood, and speaks we'll for the taste ard
industry of the owners. Also, karthaus
township has many good and comfortable
dwelling houscs, some Of which will com'
pare favorably IN point of taste, attraction
and style with those in our larger towns.
And best OF all, in the catalogue of oui
improvements, are The growing steady
habits Of our citizens, their perseverance
and industry in clearing their land, ems
larging their farms, improving the soil,
adapting it to the different kinds OF grain
and worthy emu'at!on to excel, in pro-
ducing the best aud the lirycst yield from
the acre, upon their several farms. These
great agricultural interest have been ava.
kened in our people of Karthaus IN a
great measure by the ClcarfcH County Ag-
ricuitura .Socisty, and very much by the
late Ayricuit"rui Fair; SO that our next
County Fair will DC largely represented in
person by the citizens Of karthaus. And
!! not Ian gely represented in stock and
productions, it will be respectable.
The good work OF the Society having
commenced and the fruit thereof Already
we have great encouragement
to sustain our County agricultural Society,"
And by so doing. we will soon find the
citizens of Cleartield county not only an
industrious and u sober people, but in a
very short time, the soil of Cleartield
county will grow and produce every vari-
ETY. of grain sufficient for her own use
and comfort, ana in addition to this, will
have u large surplus OF her production to
export for the supply aud wart o! others.
