make it point to be regular in attend

The committee awarded discretion of
premiums, on several articles not enumer-

of spring wheat, exhibited BY J G Brown.
If this wheat should prove as productive
and of as good quality as Undated by the
sample on exhibition, it may be worthy
the attention of farmers. Several very
good samples of winter wheat were exhib.
tied in addition to those which received
the premium, also some fine potatoes, cab
bage, pumpkins, and beets, but as the list
of premiums was printed, We could not
give them a more particular notice. A
half bushel of beardless barley, exhibited
By Thos. Cornelius, which, from IS grains
sowG three years since, this season produ-
ced % quarts, may prove worthy the at
tentiou of farmers.

THE FIRE ZOJAyEs AND THE
ENEMY THEY FOUGHT

A correspondent. of the Philadelphia
Inquirer says:
"The Ellsworth Iouaves are lions eve.
rywhere. II We had few more regiments
like them they would be invaluable. A few
moments ago we noticed one passing up
the avenue, his arm off below his shoulder,
and as merry as ever. Two came in last
night who had been taken prisoners and
put under a guard at Fairfax Court House.
Both were wounded one in the leg and
one in the arm, but during the night they
watched their opportunity and murdered
the guard and escaped.
"A Zouave who had been wounded tells
some thrilling adventures. He gives the
Mississippians full credit for being perfect
devils in battle. At one time, when in
close quarters, and bayonet charge was
about being made, the Mississippians came
up in terrible array. After discharging a
volley of musketry, they threw away their
guns and pitched in with pistols and bowie
knives, tho latter twenty inches to two feet
in length. These were strapped to kind
OF lasso fastened around the wrist, nearly
two yards long. Whilst approaching ,shs
enemy, at a few PAGES distant, these we're
thrown out like harpoons with wonderful
precision. Often he saw the awful instru-
ment of death plunge through the bodies
of his comrades, and jsxked out again to
repeat. Closing up, it ended in cutting
and slashing, bayonetting and detailing
death all around, until many on both sides
were trans6xed in the agonies of death
A bowie knife and lasso would be in one
hand, and bloody bnyonet in the other.
pistol ball had been sent through the
wrist Of the Zouave and thrust made at
him with bowie kuiie by M!ssissippian,
which missed its aim. This taken advan.
tags of, the Zouave pierced him through,
and he fell lifeless, with the terrible weap-
on staunched in blood. 1t made my very
flesh creep to hear tho narrative
