HINTS ON GREEN MANURING.

A Pennsylvania wishes to know what

the Spring, and also answer to turn in for
wheat in the Fall? Ii is somewhat diff

the same time. One cannot very well eat
his cake and keep il too. Rye furnishes
good feed earlier than almost any other crop.
But il one expects to make manure Of it, it
should be lett to grow until it blossom, and
then be plowed under. II fed through May
and June, the growth must be small, and
not much benefit will arise from blowing il
under. The better way in husbandry is to
do one thing at time, and TO do il thorough

from the barn that fertilizers cannot be car

is done, we should make a business Of il,
and turn in two crops in a season, or one
crop Of full growth.

ARnEST OE COL. THOMAS.

The full particulars of the arrest Of Capt.
Thomas, of st. Mary's county, Md, the war
rior in petticoats, who captured the steamer
St. Nicholas last week, are interesting. We
copy the Baltimore Alnerican's account:
"licutenant Carmichael directed the COM
mander of the Mary Washington ION board of
which vessel Thomas was discovered) to pro-
coed, on reaching the harbor, to land the pas
scngers at Fort Mclienry. Thi direction
was given while the steamer was near Annap-
oils Shortly after, while Lieutenant Car
michael and Mr.. Homer were in the ladies
cabin, they were approached by Thomas. who
desired TO know by what authority the order
had been given for the steamer to touch at
Font McHcnry.
The Lieutenant informed him that il was
through authority vested in him by Colonel
Kenley. Provost Marshal Of Baltimore. On
hearing this Thomas drew his pistol and, call
/ ing his men around him, threatened TO seize
/ and throw Carmichael and Horner overheard
/ The latter drew their revolvers and defed the
other party to proceed to execute their threat
The utmost confusion prevailed in the cabin
/ for a short time, the female passengers RUM
ing out screaming, but the other male pass
engers stood up with Carmichael and Horner,
and compelled Thomas and his companions to
remain quiet Matters stood thus on the
boat until the steamer approached the fort
wharf when the Lieutenant went up and IN
formed General Banks of his important cap
ture.
The General instantly ordered out compa-
ny of infantry, who marched to the steamboat
and secured all the accused excepting Thomas,
for whom search was made for an hour and a
half lie was then found concealed in the
drawer of bureau in the ladies' cabin IN the
aft part of the boat. At FIST it was appre'
hended that Thomas would make desperate
resistance, but he disclaimed any such design
alleging that he was too weak to resist, h'
and the other prisoners were then marched
to the fort and placed in confinement

session Is from jeff Davis, appointing hin

EDrroR OF THE JOURNAL; Saturday morn
ing last Lieut.. Phillips and the men left un-
der his charge in the hospital at Burlington,
left that place at 9 A. NJ for Washington. as
per order received from Col. Whiting. The

safely. We received pass from Gen. Bax-
ter, which was not recognized on the Hudson
River Railroad, thereby OBTAINING us in New
/ York City from Sunday morning until Mon
day night. We then started at 9 o'clock, and
arrived in Philadelphia at about 10 =. NJ
Along the route through New Jersey we were
checred very patriotically, and our reception
at the Quaker City" by the Soldiers Re-
lief Society. who furnished ms with coffee,
crackers, &c, was indeed an agreeable sur
prise.
We arrived in Baltimore at about half past
| five Tuesday morning, where we were detain-
ed until about two o'clock in the afternoon,
having come on "A train with three companies
Of L. s. Regulars, one Of Dragons, another
Of Cavalry, and another OF Artillery; and our
train had to wait for their horses. The troops
came from Fort Hamilton. n. Y. We found
along the line Of the railroad from Baltimore
to Washington, volunteers stationed to guard
the road and bridges. At the Relay House,
nine miles from Baltimore, is stationed de-
taohment Of the Mass. Sixth. At this place
is the junction Of the Baltimore e. Ohio and
| Baltimore & Washington Railroads. We had
some chance TO see Baltimore during the de-
lay. The men--and women, also-lookcd
sour and ugly, and ] cannot say that we met
with smile from either, with the exception,
Of course, of the afectionate and sympathiz-
/ ing eontrdbdnds," who were at the depot in
multitudcs.
On arriving in Washington we found the
city crowded with soldiers. Proceeding to
our encampment on Maryland Avenue we met
with a warm reception, and felt thankful for
our safe arrival and the welcoming grasp oil

Company C died in the hospital his re-
mains were sent home to Brattleboro to-day
The regiment received orders TO march Tues-
day morning. which orders--after they were
ready to start-were countermanded. But
this morning at eight o'clock they received
fresh orders to march to Fairfax Court House
eneampment, Virginia. They left about nine

BY some mistake our baggage was only
checked to Baltimore. and was sent back tc

timated that there are some ten thousand sol.

there is no excitement it is certain that thcr,

is said his purpose was to communicate will
