Which way 2" said Captain Mitchell, of
the steamer" Straight to Alton in the
regular channel" replied Capt. Stokes.
What if we are attacked" said Capt.
Mitchell. "rheo we will fight !" said Capt.
Stokes. What if we are overpowered :"
said Capt. M. Run her to the deepest
part OF the river and sink her, replied Capt.
S. " III do it, was the heroic reply of
Capt. Mitchell. and away they went past the
secession battery, past the entire St. Louis
levec, and on to Alton, in the regular chan.
mel, where they arrived at five O'Clock in the
morning. ...@.> @
When the boat touched her landing, Capt.
Stokes fearing pursuit by two or three of the
Secession military companies, by which the
city of st Louis ls dis raced, ran to the mar
kct house and rang the fire bell. The citi.
zens came focking pell NELL to tne river in
all sorts OF habiiments. Capt. Stokes in
formed them of the situation of things, and
pointed out the freight cars. Instantly, men,
women and children boarded the steamer,
sclzed the freight, and clambered up the le-
wees to the cars. Rich and poor tugged to-
gehcr witt might and main for two hours,
when the cargo was all deposited in the cars,
amid the enthusiastic cheers, for Springfield.

Everything is hurry and hustle, and the sue
cess of the season hangs on our activity this
month. Fields, unapproachab'e in April
must now be manured and plowed before the
land can be seeded down. But the shortneS
of the planting season has been foreseen an.
ticipated and prepared for by the experienced
and skillful cultivator and everything will be
found in readiness. Not a moment should
be lost, The manures are waiting on the
ground, ready for spreading-havipg been
carried out while the surface gave opportuni-
ty. His tools are in complete order. His
teams sleek and vigorous. His carriages and
machines in the best order and he is ready
to make the best of his time, and take ad-
vantage of the coming season.
Bui1dings.-lf not already attended to,
cleanse cellars from decayed Vegetables !;
scrubbing and embarrassing walls and ven
tiato freely.
Stock require great attention at this sea
son.
As the heavy labor cones on, give horses
Indian meal and oats. Before the season
app caches for turning out to pasture, pre-
pare warm stable or shed to W hich they
may have free access from the pasture, field,
or meadow.
Give extra feed to ewes with lamb. Wash
and shear in due season. and meantime pre-
pare dry sheds to which thew may have ac.
cess at nights thereafter, and on cold, damp
days.
Spring Crops.-Let these be sown, each
in due season. 1t seems unnecessary to enter
on this subject in detail. Our remarks would
necessarily become too lengthy for calcn-
dar. And they are so familiar to all that
there is less to regret on this head. Wheat,
oats. barley, beans, peas, Indian corn, rye,
buckwheat, clover. timothy fax, potatoes,
turnps, carrots, beets and pumpkins will be
attended to, each at the proper season; and
there will be no fear Of any omission. AL!
we would say is never to lose moment when
the proper season arrives. Let there be no
delay or hesitation for our short seasons in
this country will not permit Of any nnpccos-
sary delay.
Plowing.--If the subsoil will permit of it
or if the subsoil is Of good quality, 60 little
deeper this season than last, and let the prac.
tice be pcrsevered in until desirable depth
Of soil be attained in every field.

The Progress Of Discovery.
Se1l9cr.

Yankees oug hit to bs ashamed Of them
selees The drab-coated Brotherhood of
New Bedford, aud the Island sons of Nan
tucket, have for some time been suffering Sc
verely as they saw veritable oil of all quail
ties, from the crudest TO that fit for lubricr-
ting the finest Waltham watches, baked out
of the stone coal Of the mountain, not as a
miracle, but as simple mechanical operation
in the way of every day labor, thus setting
aside and almost at nought their capturing of
whales the wide world over. A few years
ago the monopoly, even in a business way Of
location and Skill promised the most bril-
liant results, and the progress of machinery
alone seemed to give assurance Of untold
riches and the fat of the land to those enga-
ged in securing the oil Of the sea.
Then came the lard oil Of the West, and
close beside it the stearnine candles, white
sisters Of the real spermacetl. The Quaker
dom Of New Bedford put on the mourning
of graver look at the audacious transfor-
nation Of hog on the Western prairie into
petite spermaceti whale. But hogs are
wanted for meat and their eyes frightened
that the shower of oil from this source could
not be large. The baking of coal for gas
was local matter, but the squeezing whole
mountains of coal and tickling it to yield
every variety of oil, was, indeed, cooler.
The discovery by a Frenchman that the
skins Of whales make the best of boot leather
which is remarkably tough, but as soft as
buckskin. and repels water well, is surprise,
so great that the whale interest is now incli-
ned to wall over the fact that some Yankee
had not years ago made the discovery, and
thus saved large fortunes which have been
suffered to be thown into the sea.
The oil from hogs and the rock coal came
when the supply from the old sources of the
sea was becoming inadequate. as the coal itself
came into use when the wood fuel began to
run short. So now, when 1and leather is
getting scarce, and the peoples feet sore with
corns, the sea-eather comes with the needed
quantity and ihe required quality. 1t took
Frenchman to discover the best quality Of
leather.

The KILLED IN FoRT MoULrRlE.-The state.
ment of the captain of the schooner D. B. Pitts
lately arrived from Charleston, is contradcted
by the mate of that vessel, who says that no
dead bodies We're carried across it's deck after
the bombardment of Fort Sumter, except that
Of one Of Major Anderson's men, who was
killed by the bursting of a cannon when firing
the salute on the evacuation of the Fort. The
statement is confirmed by several Of the crew,
who say that nothing of the kind could have
occurred without their knowledge. The mate
says, however, that there is no doubt that
nearly two hundred men were killed in the
batteries during the engagement, and that
most Of them were buried on the beach,
He says that on the nights of the 18th, 10th
and 18th ult the steamboat which piled be-
tween the city and the batteries took down an
aggregate Of about 200 collins. ..
He was informed also by q gentleman who
had y brother and brother in-law in the garri
son of Fort Moultrie, that, after writing to
them repeatedly without obtaining any answer,
he finally received note from one Of the Off
GERS. stating that they had both been killed,
and that their bodies could be sent for, which
he was about to do. He learned from various
sources that the number killed in Fort Moultrie
was thirty nine, but could not ascertain the
number in the other batteries. He is positive
as to the shipment oG u large number of cotins
on board the steamboat, on the nights men
toned. having seen them taken on board him
