The rebels and rowdies Of Baltimore cannot
remain long at rest. Their turbulent natures
must ever find work for them, aud that work
must necessarily be evil. On last Thursday
night the Union men Of that city held meeting
at Richmond market, and while the true and
loyal men of Baltimore were marching in pro-
cession to the meeting, they were assaulted by
mob Of secessionists, and beaten with stones,
and greeted with curses. The Clipper says;
'At the corner of South and Baltimore Streets
groans, boots and curses we're shOwercd upon
them but when they got to the corner of
Charles aud Lexington streets, the evidences Of
luminosity became of more substantial cbarac
ter. in the shape of bricks and stones, by which
young unionist by the name Of Boyd was Sc
iiously injured. This sort of business won't pay
very long The stars and stripes. which we're
carried at the head Of the procession, seemed
particularly to excite their spleen"

Agents have long since been sent abroad to
Europe to procure md forward, as fast Us pos

they have begun TO arrive. Great efforts have
also been made for the health, comfort and sup

tude have characterized their movements both
in Maryland and st. Louis, and their success
along the border has, so far, been complete.

when its enemies are little more than an armed

THE SUNS HEAT ESSENTIAL FOR CORN.

Every farmer who has studied closely the
growth Of cereals, has not failed to mark the
wonderful influence which sunshine has upon
their growth. The following remarks on the
value of warmth in corn culture are from an

The ADVANTAGE OF LABOR.-There is
a very false notion in the world respect
ing employment. Thousands imagine
that, if they could live in idleness, thew
would be perfectly happy. This is a
great mistake. Every Industrious man
and woman knows that nothing is so
tiresome as being unemployed. During
some seasons of the year we have holi-
days, and it is pleasing on these occa-
sions to see the operative enjoy himself:
but we have generally found that after
two or three days recreation. the dill
gent mechanic or laborer becomes quite
unhappy. Often he signs over the
Indebtedness of being idle. The fact
is we are made TO labor, and our health,
comfort, and happiness, depends upon
our exertion. Whether We look at our
bodies, or examine our minds, every
thing tells us that our Creator intended
that we should be active. Hands, feet,
eyes, ard mental powers, shows that we
were born to be busy. If we had been
made to be idle, a very large portion Of
our bodily and mental faculties would
be redundant.
