effect that we had up to the 9Th, COM
pletely routed the enemy after eight

train of wagons, of more than 80
miles. "A portion of the army sue

River in their transports large
number are scattered over the coun-

one on the other side of the river
doubts the complete rout of McClel-

at least $4,000 of his men are pris-

INCIDENTS
OF THE GREAT BATTLE.

VI me GREAT BATTLE
The intelligent reader will under.
stand. and perhaps appreciate. the
difficulties attending an accurate com.
pila,ion Of all the incidents connected
with the operations of the armies
around Richmond for the past five
days. 1t is almost impossible to
afford in detail descriptions Of the
several engagements which have shed
such imperishable lustre upon the
arms Of the Confederacy, and which
have finally resulted in the over
throw, complete and disgraceful, of
the hosts marshaled under the ban
ner of subjugation.
On the important results which
must inevitably flow from our sue
cesses, and the dis. omtiture Of the
Northern army under Mcclellan, it is
needless at this time to speculate. Suf-
fee it to say that from the opening
of the grand ball on Thursday after
noon down to the hour which wit
messed the enemy in full retreat, the
efforts Of our forces were attended
with unbroken success, and at no
time did the brave men upon whom
hung the hopes and confidence of the
country, falter-or waver in their de-
to make the victory de-
cisive. Battery after battery was
stormed with the mos. daring disre-
gard of human life. and the appar-
emily impreguable positions of the
enemy were carried at the point of
the bayonet with the most impetuous
ardor. Never did men fight more
bravely, and never was valor more
surely and signally rewarded.
Our loss is heavy, both in officers
and men. The soil Of Virginia. the
grand old mother of States, is en-
ciched with the best blood of her
Southern sisters, aud from
every State Of the Confedesacy :he
martyrs Of liberty have united in

Inventor Of the Plow.

"Of what use is all your studying and
your books:" said an honest farmer to amin
genious artist. They don't make the corn
grow, nor produce vegetables for the market
My Sam does more good with his plough in
one month than you can do with your books
and papers in one year."
What plough does your son USE" said
the artist quietly. "Why he uses Mr.. -'s
plow to be sure. | can do nothing with any
other. BY using this pillow, we save half the
labor, and raise three times as much as we
did with the old wooden concern"
The artist quietly turned over one of his
sheets and showed the farmer drawing OF
the lauded plow, saying g am the inventor
Of your favorite plow, and my name is -"
The astonished farmer shook the artist
heartily by the hand, and invited him to call
at the farm house and make it his home as
long as he. liked. ....
Don't refuse to take an agricultural paper
then.

BEET SUGAE.-A few weeks ago we prom.
ised to give report Of making beet sugar,
presented before the Legislature of Ohio, by
Gen. Berce, of that State. Through the kind
ness of a friend in the Legislature, we are
able this week to lay portion of this valu-
able report before our readers. 1t embraces
political economy, history, agricultural chem
istry, finance and mechanics. We hope that
some of our enterprising farmers in our val
ley will experiment the coming season on the
culture of the sugar beet. We give this
week the report, history, and the atmospher-
ical infuences,-next week species of beets,
nature of the soil, mode of culture, manufac-
turing process, extracting juice, clarifying
and concentrating the juice, and the following
week, the production and cost of beets, in1u-
ences Of the beet on agriculture, when pre-
pairing for market, production and price of
sugar and conclusion.

Our Work.

In continuing our labors, in sustaining the
Agricultural Department of the GAZETTE we
feel that,we have responsible mission, and
work that we are not competent to carry
through. We appreciate the Importance of
keeping up this department. We have said
before that the most solid wealth Of the coun-
try is in the land /; and by the better improve
ment, of the land, it would be hard to tell
what our wealth would be. We wish to i'm
press upon the minds Of our readers who
may patrpnizc this number the vast impor-
lance of improving our agricultural knowl-
edge of the Cedar Valley. 1t will be our
interest as it will be our pleasure to lay be-
fore our readers all facts that we may be in
possession Of concerning agriculture, stock,
gardening, and rural economy. And as we hay e
before requested we hope our practical farmers
will give us their experience. And here let
us enquire, why the science and art of agri-
culture should not be admitted to an equal
importance in public estimation and actual
practice in every point Of view, with respect
to education and dignity, as chemistry, arch
itecture, law, or the study of medicine; and
why it should not be considered as one of
the sister sciences, and claim great attention
in our institutions of Earnings To hasten
this most invaluable march of improvement
and to quicken its impetus, we ourselves,
the farmers, must lay hold of the matter, and
we should all feel that We have individually
part of this great work to perform, and each
should advance its progress by adding some
items to the universal joint stock near APP
proach to perfection can hardly be obtained
without these means. Onardrd! Onuard is
our motto-and subscribe and write for the
Field and Garden.

a well pulverized surface, will give good
coating of grass; but on sitter soil, or
where an immediate thick growth is desired
to keep down all weeds, this quantity may be
nearly doubled. Although it yields little or
no aftermeat when cut late, yet timothy
makes rich productive pasture. Itmay be
sown in August or September, or early in
the spring, at the rate of twelve to sixteen
quarts per acre. We prefer to sow in spring
with wheat and oats.
We shall give FROM time to time short
series on the cultivation of the above grasses.

Plant Sorghum.

We hope that every farmer that has an
half acre of ground to spare will plant it to
sorghum this spring. We must raise our
own sweets for time to come. Let us show
the rebellious Southerncrs that we can get
along without them. We prefer the sorghum
for syrup and the imphce for sugar This is
the testimony Of those that have experiment
ted with both varieties We have the state
ment of Mr.. J. II. Smith of Quincy, who
made ton of sugar, from the imphec. He
says that the Chinese cane (the sorghum)
makes the best of syrup, but very little SUI
gar, but the African or imphce is preferable
for sugar. We find an article in the Vinton
Eagle, warning the farmers as topure seeds.
1t says great drawback to the profits of sor-
ghum is the deterioration of seed by being
mixed with broom corn. Our farmers must
look well into this matter the coming season,
and be sure to obtain pure seed to plant.
When it is mixed a heavy growth of stalk
is the result, but it contains very little of the
properties necessary for syrup or sugar. The
culture of sorghum has assumed position of
so much importance in the agriculture Of the
West that it will repay the expenditure of
time and money to procure good and pure
seed. The seed should be sprouted before
planting. 1t can be done by pouring on the
seed warm water, and keeping it until the
seeds burst.
The statement of Mr.. Smith is that he
made fifteen hundred pounds of sugar, and
one hundred and fifteen gallons of molasses
to the acre. lie stated, that about seven
tenths of the syrup runs to sugar, and that
he can make the sugar at five cents per h.,
and molasses at twenty-five cents per gallon,
and realize more profit from an acre Of cane
than he can from an acre of corn.
We understand that steam sorghum mill
and evaporator will be put up here this sea-
son by Messrs. Culver & Speer. This will
accommodate all that wish to raise the cane
and do not wish to purchase a mill-they
will take the cane and return il in syrup. We
will have more to say on this subject here
after. -.s E

HINTs-Plow deep and pulvcrize the soil
well. Sow your barley, oats and wheat ear
ly. Keep stock off your meadows and plow-
ing fields while the ground is wet. Provide
good supply of tools for your spring work.
Sort and collect such potatoes, seed corn and
the earth is waiting to receive them. Soon
the earth will unfold her ample bosom to re-
ceiye cur labors.

SUGAR MAKING.-Sugar makingis upon us,
we hope that those that have maple trees will
improve the time and make every pound that
they can. Our opinion is that the ground in
the woods has not been frozen sufficient to
be a good sugar year, but be that as it may,
make all you can. There will be demand
for it. Sugar and molasscs will pay this
year. Keep your buckets and tubs for hold
ing sap clean, and well scaldcd; you will
find that the syrup will be better for it.
