WrEsEECISM@.

The Federals, in returning to
Washington as rapidly as they did,
performed wonderful feat; how
ever, they met with an unparalleled
ed defeat. Yet for their safety
they were indebted to their feet;
some of their foot behaved well,
but all ran away at the heel of
action, and when called upon re-
fused to toe the mark.
In the recent retreat of the Fed
erals at Manassas the means of
conveyance was limited; paying
passengers having no chance, there
being such an immense number of
dead heads.
We have heard of fight Of
fancy and a flight Of stone steps
and the eagles fight, but the fight
of the Grand Army transcends
them ALL.
AT Manassas the New Orleans
Washington Artillery gave a
number of masked balls which
were largely attended with-very
destructive results.
In the recent excursion Of Gen.
Pierce to Big Bethel, Gen., Ma
gruder wound up the entertain
ment by giving him a grand rout.
That eagle which the Federals
saw over that field at Centreville,
flying North, only ''marshalled
them the way that theys hould go"
The Grand Army marched to-
ward Manassas with colors flying.
On its return to Washington, in
stead of colors, the army was fly

In the battle of Manassas the
Federals left immense spoils ON

ASKING A BLESSING.


Some half century, less or more
ago, a man named Gill kept tavern
at Danvilie, Kentucky, one Of the
very oldest towns, and enc Of
the most inveterately fanatical in
the late neutral State. lie was
noted for restricting the appetites
of his boarders by presenting them
with extremely meager fare. It
might have been a0ar times, but
there was no double embargo, unless
in the penuriousness which inva-
ded Gilrspocket, kept possession Of
his conscience, and sunk all fhe

Elections were leveled at the i'm

pose. Among the boarders, or Ill

poetester named Johnson, whose
crude efforts at versifcation chron-
icled numbcrless local events, and
afforded much merrinent to those
who were amused with his triHes
and the strained efortsof hismuse.
The good people Of .Danville, not
much given to the cultivation Of
the diUi1se art, although, since, the
heart of learning as well as fanati-
cism, had a sort of reverential awe
for Johnson, and regarded, as they
called him, ''the mad poet" de-
irving his inspiration from some
supernatural source, if not from
too frequent wooing the moon and
the stsrs. He was not without a
slight vim Of waggery, and although
in several respects he resembled

A writer in the Nashville ;.Ban-

to do to protect their sheep from the
attacks of dogs and wolves is to let
the sheep run constantly with their
cattle. The sheep run under and
behind the cattle, and the latter
fight and repel the enemy.

GENERAL RULES.
For Planting and Managing Fs'uit

qulslie- is q good, rlch, deep, cry |
sell.
If incliniRg TO be wet, or if the
subsoil is too moist, it must be
well underdrained, for a common
but unknown cause Of bad growth
and poor fruit, is hidden, stagnant
water in the soil.
If not naturally very fertile, it
must be enriched by manuring-
and this is best If done for year
or two before planting, that it may
be well incorporated, Subsoiling
and trench blowing should be per-
formed in connection with the pro-
cess of working in the manure,
and it should be thoroughly inter
mixed by intermediate harrowings.
A deep soil, besides causing a more
rapid growth and finer fruit, is
less affected by drouth and by
heavy rains.
3. The second requisite is a
good enclosure. The young trees
must be protected from injury by
cattle, and the fruit afterwards
from the depredations Of boys
A strong common fence win an
swer for the former, but an Usage
hedge, with its numerous thorns
may be required for the latter al
though a good watchdog is valua-
bic. A hedge planted when the
trees are set, and well managed,
viii form a coed protection by the
time the trees bear much, but there
should be good barrier for cattle
before the first tree is planted.
3. The third point of impor-
tance is to procure and set out
the trees. The lists we have Civ
en- in various former num-
bers of the OBSERVER, will assist
in making good selection. They
should be carefully dug up with a
full supply Of roots. The holes
should be large-not less than four
feet in diameter, and in setting.
it should be filled with the best
rich mellow earth, but no manure
should touch the roots. If any
manure is used, it should be old and
rotted, well mixed with earth, and
placed in remote partof the hole.
The broken roots should be al
pared off with a sharp knife. All
theroots should be carefully spread
out with the fingers while filing,
and before the hole is quite full,
the fine earth should be settled
among all the interstices by POUR.
ing in water. The trees should
be placed no deeper than they
stood before, allowing an inch or two
for settling. All except small
trees need stalking to protect them
from the wind. -
4. The after management con.
sists in keeping the surface mel
low and clean and IN preserving
the moisture. A well mellowed
surface rarely becomes dry, but il
water is ever needed, the top earth
should be removed, the water,
poured directly among the roots,
and the earth again replaced
But a better way is to mulch, OF
cover the surface six inches deep
about the tree, with straw or 9TH
er litter.
s. The subsequent growth Of
the trees will greatly depend on
clean and mellow cultivation
Generally, young trees will grow
from ten to twenty times as fast
when cultivated, than if suffered to
grow among weeds and grass
Spading a small Arcle round
the tree answers the purpose poor
", as the roots are usually as
long as the tree, and the cultiva-
ton must be broadcast to i'm
part full benefit.

The Inundation In Holland.
AMsrERpAM, Feb. IL, 1861.


Thank God the frightful desolatiou of our
inundated districts begins TO abate, and the
waters are returning To their natural channels.
But what scenes Of distress, agony and penury
do they leave behind them! Some villages are
entirely destroyed; not vestige of a habitation
remains to show that they were the dwelling
place of man. Nearly 10000 acres of cutiva-
ted land have been submerged, and their culti-
vators been driven from their dwellings to seek
shelter in schools aud churches, and to eat the
bread Of charity.
The number of cattle drown or killed Il ia
impossible to state with accuracy, but il is said
to amount TO several thousand. This, however,
Is slight calamity compared with the loss Of
human life, which, Notwithstanding every effort
made BY the authorities to render assistance,
has swollen to high figure. When the dy Ike
broke at Leeuwen, the waters rushed through
with such fearful violence as to carry all before
them; houses, barns, and trees tumbled down
at their approach-bow, then, could the labor
ers on the dyke and their families resist the
crushing strength Of the food and the ice mas
ses7 The descriptions sent me from the scene
OF desolation are really shocking. What the
poor creatures, whose homely dwellings but re-
Gently afforded them comfortable shelter, have
had to encounter in the form of cold, nakedness
and starvation, 10 almost incredible ..
Truth, indeed, in this Gaze Is strGng er, much
stranger than fiction. One family Of eight has
entirely disappeared carried way by the food
after enduring all the horror with which frost
and hunger are always accompanied. Among
all the survivors there is mourning, lamenta-
ton, and woe; not only on account of desolate
homesabut on account Of parents, children and
friends whom this fearful plague Of waters has
wrenched from their embrace. Never, perhaps
has the spirit of charity and love been so diff
fused among the people as it is now among the
Dutch, as they listen to the tales of sorrow of
the bereaved and the desolate. In unstinted
measure they give their abundance through the
length and breadth of the land. The King, at.
tended by other members OF the royal family,
has just returned from visit to the inundated
districts, where he won for himself the affec-
tion Of his spitten subjects by bis bounty and
sympathy. In letter to the Minister Of the
Interior, he has decreed that, on the 18th inst,
(his birthday q collection shall be made thro'
the whole country, from door to door, for the
benefit Of the survivors of this fearful vista.
tion, and, in addition to the 20, 900 guilders be
has already given, has headed the national sub
scription With q contribution of 40,000 guilders.
No wonder that on his return yesterday from
his mission of mercy he was hailed, wherever
he passed, with those acclamations which burst
forth only from nations love and admiration.

chant marine will be quite naturally substituted
| for that Of the North. Europe will double hei
exports, and the South, the population OF which
exceeds twelve millions, will exchange her pro-
ductions for objects of European, and particular
| " French workmanship. In fact, they have moi
| forgotten that France was their mother country;
and, faithfulIto the traditions of their fathers
they have preserved their manners and customs,
and are we'll aware that France alone can fur.
nish those thousand and one notions which crown
her industry with renown.
It snfices TO call the attention of publicista
to these facts, In order that they may eDdeavoT
to moderate, in Europe, the too ardent desire
Of changing suddenly the position Of one partic-
ular class Of the human family. A nation cannot,
with reason, desire the realization of its philo
sophie aspiration at the cost of sacrifices, the
very nature of which would at once compro.
mise the individual wellbeing of its citizens and
the commercial prosperity Of the country.
The press which represents European inter.
ests will perhaps hesitate to lavish further It's
boundiess eulogies and approval on policy, the
practice Of which would but hasten the ruin and
destruction of Southern narts, which are, after
all, Its proper markets.
Let US not be deceived; the North exhibits 60
much rashness and audacity only from the be-
lief taught it by the European press, that the
Inhabitants Of the South, too weak in numbers
to resist its attacks, will not find on this side Of
the Atlantic q single generous sentiment,
much less moral support Will philanthropy
80 far blind European commerce as to make it
forgetful OF its own interests2 We do not think
81; end already England, profoundly moved I,
awakes at length to the reality; she begins tO
measure the whole extent Of the disaster which
menaces her manufactures; she no longer dis
guises the fact, in spite of her abolition tenden-
cles, that her commet cial interests depend in
great measure on the prosperity of the South,
which Europe has q deep interest in seeing pre-
served, at least temporarily, her institutions,
now aitlcked with 90 much vehemeDce.
The question is plain one; we have pre-
viously said that the South, far from being the
aggressor, as it seems to be generally supposed,
was the victim of Northern pretensions. Those
recent words Of the Emperor also find an echo
In the bottom Of our hearts:--"France has no
desire to medde in any way where her inter
ests are not at stake; in fine, If she has sym
pathies for what ia great and noble, che does
not hesitate to condemn everything that yio-
lates justice and the rights Of nations" Public
opinion will appreciate them ON both sides of
the Atlantic, and will fnd for the great inter-
ests az stake in the American crisis, solution
which may be satisfactory TO all-namely, an
amicable separation, without conflict and with
out war, instead Of a secession by violence, or
Union maintaiaed by force. p.
