NEVER BEHIND THE TIMEs.-As good
money is very scarce at present, e. Rosen-
valid & Co, at the Oak Hall clothing house
No. 70, Main street, inform the public that
he is willing to take Illinois and Wisconsin
money at a very small discount. We have
a very large and extensive stock of ready
made clothing, and gentlemen's furnishing
goods which have to be disposed of in
very short time. This is very good OPP
portunity for those who have any of this
money, to get rid of it. d&W-tf.

very old is responsible for the following:
Last Thursday, that is, just one week
ago, highly respectable young gentleman,
a near relative of Gov. Harris, of Tennessee,
said that Gov Harris had received from
Gov. Magofin, of Kentucky, assurance of
permission to occupy Columbus, KY, with
Tennessee troops. Furthermore, the young
man said that Gov. Harris, even if Gov.
Magoffin's consent were wanting, would
not hesitate to occupy Columbus on his
own and Tennessee's responsibility.

CINCINNATI, May 29.-On Sunday night,
Col Kelly, in command or the first regiment
of VIRGINIA volunteers stationed st Wheel
ing received orders to march. They left
Wheeling at o'clock Monday morning,
moving towards Grafton. After their de-
parture the 18th Ohio regiment stationed
at Bellair, under command Of Col. Irwin,
1000 strong, crossed the Ohio and follow
ed Col. KelIy's command. The 14th Ohio
regiment, under the command of Col. Steed-
man, crossed the Ohio at Marietta about the
same time and occupied Parkersburgh. At
midnight on Monday the rebels evacuated
Grafton in great haste. Colonel Kelly is
probably in possession of Grafton this
morning.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-Frederick Heck
ems Illinois regiment will probably be ac-
cepted by the government. The probabilities
are that the brigade of Col. Sehurz, who is
now here, will be sent to Fortress Monroe.

WORLDS SPECIAL.
WASHINGTON, May 28-The list regi-
ment only went as far as Alexandria. The
lst and I'd Ohio regiments marched across
the long bridge this afternoon. and are en-
camped near Arlington Heights.
1t is the general impression that soon
movement will be made so far into Virginia
that all retreat of the rebels at Harpers
Ferry will be cut off
a well-known citizen of North Carolina
reached here tonight from that State. He
thinks the reports of the numbers, condi-
ton, and armament of the Southern troops
are greatly exaggerated. 1t seems that it
is their determination to act solely on the
defensive.
The I'd New York regiment was sworn
in to-day, except some 300, who refused to
be sworn for three years. All their uni
forms, except their pantaloons, were strip
ped from them, and they came into the city
from the encampment.
hon. James Ashley, of Ohio, arrived to-
night from Fortress Monroe. He reports
all quiet there. There were some 10000
men under Buffers command. He will
make no advance into Virginia until he has
at least 10, 600 more.

Treason of the Meanest Dye.

The Des MDines Journal, the Locofoco or
gan at, the Capitol, is dIeadIully exercised,in
view of the fact that this Government is
about, to assert its authority, maintain its
integrity, and vindicate the national flag from
the insults and ignominy heaped upon it by
traitors. As patriots and friends Of the coun.
try and the Constitution have control of the
governments OF the North, and have over.
whelming majorities Of the people, the Jour
nal does not deem it prudent to counsel re-.
bcllon or revolution. But it counsels re.
sort baser ard more cowardly means to aid.
and abet the traitors of the Cotton Confed.
eracy. The Democracy can't saeede by
States, and, therefore, rs the next best thing,
the Capital organ advises the Democratic
members of Congress to sec, de and leave
that body without quorum to do business.
Speaking On Friday last of Mr.. Lincoln's
determination to send force down for the
relief of Fort Sumter, that paper says:
"Ifhe has determinedto send troops South
to provoke confick, and then calling an
extra session of Congress throw himself upon
it for support and aid, the Democracy of the
North, must act promptly in the premises
They hold the balance Of power in that body,
and have only to absent themselves to leave
the Republican members without quorum
and totally incapable Of transacting business.
Let them resign and go before the people on
the question of Peace or War, and they will
be returned by major.ties unprecedented in
history"
Snch is the counsel Of dos!ardly traitor,
too cowardly to enlist in the Ceniederats'
army and too mean to conceal his cowardice
and treason at home

the whole it viii work satisfactorily The
candidate selected in this way is quite as
likely to carry his majority Of votes on the

people would engage in the canvass, and Sc

have of course the largest interest insthe ap-

of those who get together in an ordinary
caucus have little or no interestin it, and
no means ofjudsing as to the comparative
fitness of candidates. It's rather running

Early Potatoes.

Th,'re are several methods of Fastening the
maturity Of Potatoes. A favorite method
with the German gardeners is, to bring the
seed potatoes in barrels into warm room,
about the first of March. The eyes start
rapidly, and in about two or three weeks
they are ready to plant. Another method,
which We have practiced, for some years, is
to start the potatoes in gentle hot-bea
about the middle Of March. The tu-
bers are cut in halves, and laid fiat side down
upon the bed as thick as they can be placed
They are then covered with about two in.
ches Of garden mould, and the sashes are
put over them. As soon as they are up two
or three inches they are ready to transplant.
They should be removed carefully, separa-
ting the roots with as little breaking as pos
sible, and putt drills where they are to, grow.
As they do not yield fun crop under this
treatment, they can be planted closer than in
common field culture, say in drills thirty ir-
ches apart. putting the hills twelve inches
apart in the drill.
warm sandy loan. sloping 10 the south
or southeast, should be selected for this crop
1t should be well manured with horse dung,
sbout half of it applied in the drills. Some
manure their ground for early potatoes in
the fall and this Is, we think, a good plan
for broadcast Fresh horse dung in she
drills raises the temperature Of the soib and
hastens their growth.
We will add that we have succeeded wen
on small scale thus: Two or three weeks
before the time when it will probably 90 ia
plant out, take pieces Of turf or sod, say four
or five inches square, and put piece of po-
tato in each. These are set closely together
where they can be watered at need and can
be exposed to sunshine. Whenever there Is
a cold night, or ''cold snap" straw is put en-
to keep them from freezing. They sprcut
and fiji the turf with roots. At the proper
time the pieces are set in the oren ground,
one piece in a hill, and the erowth is hardly
checked. The turf itself also acts as ma
nure 70 aid the growth. In this way two or
or three weeks may be gained.-Agric1fst.

T E U NJ 8:
DISSOLVE THE UNION

Dissolve the Union Who would part
The chain that binds us heart TO heart
Each link was forged by sainted sires
Amid the Revolution fires;
And cooled-oh where so rich food
In Warren's and IN Sumter's blood.
Dissolve the Union! Be like France
when "Terror" reared her bloody lance,
And men became distractions child.
And woman, in her passion wild,
Danced in the life-blood Of her Queen
Beside the dreadful guillotine
Dissolve the Union Roll away
The spangled flag Of glory's day;
Blot out the history OF the brave,
Aud desecrate each patriots grave;
And then, above the wreck Of years,
QuaG an eternity of tears.
Dissolve the Union Can II be
That they who speak such words are free!
Great God Did any die to save
Such aordid wretches from the grave
When breast to breast and hand to hand
Our patriot fathers freed the land
Dissolve the Union Ho! Fotbear
The sword of Damocles is there
Cut but the hair, an d earth shall know
A darker, deadlier tale Of woe,
Than history's crimson page has told
Since Nero's car In blood ere rolled.
Dissolve the Union Speak, ye hills,
We everlasting mountains cry;
Speak out, We streams and mingled rills,
And ocean roar In agony;
Dead heroes leap from glory's sod
And shield the manor sfSour God.
