U. 8. Agricultural Bureau:

After long course Of years, say from the
Presidency Of Washington to the present
time, in which the friends Of agriculture
have been importuning Congress to establish
an agricultural department, they have grant
ed the request.
Agrecably to tho recommendation Of Pres
idcnt Lincoln, an independent Bureau Of
Agriculture has been voted. The head or
chief, or Secretary of 1t, or whatever his title
may bc, is to receives salary Of $4,000 per
annum.
We have not seen tho law making anden-
downing the bureau. and cannot, therefore,
speak OF its provisions. We hope, however,
that it will bc put into the charge Of somo
wholc.soulcd, far.sccing, experienced agri-
culturist. and that It will be conducted on
the broad principle Of encouraging and i'm
proving practical agriculture in all It's de-
partments ms well rs in its phases incidental
to latitude and location throughout the whole
length and breadth Of the United States
Among the many triumphs Of the day wo
look upon this as among the best, consider
ing the little II cost and the great good II Is
bound to bring about.-Maine Farmer.

from the northern point Of the Island. tn.
original village, called old tcnandina, VA.
Spanish fishing hamlet Of inconsiderabls
size and no importance. Upon the selection
Of Fernandins as the terminus for the Allan.
tic and Gulf Railroad, the town assumed i'm.
portancc, and began to increase its trade and
number Of inhabitants. Vessels OF fourteen
feet draught easily sail up to the wharves.
The entrance to the harbor Is not easy In
storms, and the Fernandina bar is historical
ior Its wrecks. The privatecr JEFF. Davis
came to grief Of this entrance. There arc
two entrances to the Amelia river, the main
ship and Cumberland channels. Between
them lie Pelican shoal and North breaker,.
At the mouth Of the river Is Fort Clinch,
which the rebels had strengthened and mount.
ed with guns. For Eve miles. vessels enter.
ing the main ship channel ore within easy
range Of the guns Of this fort; for half the
distance within thousand yards.
Fort Clinch has been about ten years In
construction; is q Fashioned fort, of brick
work, and Is not more than half finished
When seized by the rebels 1t had but few
guns Of light calibre. The rebels have built
earthworks, the principal Of which is con-
structed upon the main land, 80 as to rake
the main ship channel. It is probably not
mounted with guns Of very heavy metal, rs
the transportation to that point, either by
land or water, would bo very difficult. The
town Of Fernandna is exposed On all sides to
attack. Vessels can approach Amelia Island
within mile ut any point, and thus troops
can bc thrown on the beach in the rear Of
the town, and the forts cut oiT-which would
compel their evacuation. The town Of Fer
nandina was built by Northern capital and
enterprise, and at this time nearly all tho
stock Of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad and
considerable share Of Fernandina itself, is
owned by Northern citizens.-N Y. Com.

SOAKING SEEps.-0nc Of tho best methods
of preparation of seeds for an early start Is
to soak them in diluted liquid manure. Hen
dung is much recommended for this purpose.
Sometimes soaked seeds do not come forward
or rot in the ground; but frequently the
case that the seeds are not attended to, but
are allowed to heat, or sometimes to get dry,
before they are sown. Another point is to
have, for small seeds, tho soil in warm.
friable condition il the seeds arc soaked and
the surface OF the soil is warm, and the soil
itself is pressed down close to the seed, by
rolling, or the hoe, when tho sowingis done,
il will make material difference in the
time which they take to sprout; and, besides
this, the manure with which their outer
coat is saturated protects them from the
attacks Of worms and insccts.-Miehiydn

Parson Brownlow onco Moro.

After long enforced silence, Rev. W. g.
Brownlow, Of Knoxville, Tennessee. having
reached Nashville, appeared in public on tho
10Th inst. and spoke Us follows:
GENTLEMEN IL am in q sad plight to say

four weeks, I became victim OF the typhoid
fever, and was removed TO q room In de-
cent dwelling. and q guard OF seven men
kept me company. ] subsequently, became

to q speedy release. but insure you protec-
tion.' "Sir!" said I. "before would take
the oath to support such hell.forsakcn In
stitution, would suffer myself to rot or dio

Why, my friends, these demagogucs actu.
ally boast that God Almighty is assisting
them in the furtherncc OF their nefarious
project. In Knoxville and surrounding 10
calitics short time since daily prayer meet
ings were held, wherein the Almighty was

very few grains that will not grow. Thinning
corn, though apparently a very simple opera
tion, is very hard to do well. Some OF the
stalks will break of in the ground, leaving
the roots to grow again; and have found
very few men or boys who would leave just
the right number. When birds and other
deprcdators commence on hill, they gener.
ally take it oil. Ny experience is, that three
stalks to hill will bring more corn than
any other number, and make the hills three
feet ten inches apart each way. Cover the
seed with hoe about two inches deep, taking
care not to put on Jumps or stone'.
Pumpkin. Among the Corn.
1t is common practice to plant pumpkins
among corn, and about II there is variety
Of opinion. Some assert that they take no
nourshment from the corn, and Others that
they deprive il of more than their value
The truth probably lies between the two ex.
tremes. They most likely take some nour-
isment that would otherwise 60 to the corn,
and great deal that would not. IL your
only object is to raise large crop Of corn,
leave pumpkins out. II you want to get the
greatest pOsslDIe return lrOm YOUR lauu'
plant them. Two seeds in every other hill
and only in every other row will bc enough.
Amer Culture.
As soon as the corn is fairly up, 80 rs to
show plainly in the rows, commence going
through it with the 'cultivator,' twice each
row, us near to the corn as possible without
disturbing it, rcplantng any that is missed.
II planted in rows both ways, work it first
One way, then across. | aim to keep down
all weeds and grass all the time the corn is
growing, hoeing where it cannot be reached
with the cultivator and pulling the weeds by
hand where necessary. When the corn gets
about a foot high, or as soon as can get
through without covering it, | 90 over it
once each way with double shovel plow,
twice in row. Afterwards, use the cult.
yator as long rs can get through it with
out breaking the stalks, using short whifle-
tree when it gets high. After it gets too
high to take horse through, | keep down
all the weeds tina: appear with the hoe or
by hand.
