But if, instead of twenty thousand, we
should find them fifty thousand stronger
than our army on Sunday, at least thirty
thousand stronger on Monday, their re-
pulse becomes fact so dalnningly dis
graceful as to end, let us hope forever,
the gasconade of southern prowess. On
this point have two facts, from which
the reader can draw his own inferences
a Lieutenant-C Colonel, who was taken
prisoner, and whose conversation proved
him very intelligent man, stated TINT
they had marched out of Corinth ninety
thousand strong. A captured Quarter
master. taken on another part Of the field,
and confined at different place from the
Lieutenant-C Colonel, volunteered the state
mene that he knew ninety thousand ra-
tions had. been issued the morning they
left Corinth. The facts indicate that
there must have been q somewhat gem
eral belief among themselves that that
was their number. -, r1rWEls
Yet they choose their ownltime ofIat-
tack, made it a complete surprise, and
still were driven off. How about the five
to one business now? &

Peas.

PEAS WITH PoTAToEs.--A letter in
the agricultural Ga-ette, an English paper
states that single pea inserted into each
piece of potato that is planted, will produce
a large crop Of peas, and tend to check dis
ease in the pctate. 1t is practice with
some TO plant peas with potatoes, here
The potato stems answer good purpose
for the pea vines to run upon.
SOWING PEAs.-Mr. S. r. Elliott, OF
Cleaveland, writing to the american Far
mers' Margarine, says -" Some years since,
commenced sowing peas, and covering
them at different depths, varying from one
inch to one foot. found those buried eight
inches deep appeared above the ground
only one day later than those buried only
two inches while those that were covered
twelve inches deep were little over two
days behind. As they grew, noperceptible
difference was noticed, until they commenced
blossoming and setting, then the advantage
of deep planting exhibited itself; for those
that were eight and ten inches deep con-
tinued to grow, blossom, and set pods long
after those only two to four inches CON-
menced ripening and decaying. If the soil
is light and loamy, will hereafter plant
my peas eight to ten inches deep: if the
soil is clayey, would plant six inches. l
never earth up, but leave the ground as
level as possible"
The Michigan Farmer says "peas may
be planted on any good, dry soil at the earli-
est moment after the surface is thawed out
enough to give earth sufficient to make the
furrow in which to SOW them. The varie-
ties which we would recommend to SOW
first would be the Eary Kent, Dsoarf Blue
Imperial and the large White 4Harrowfat.
These three varieties, if all sown on the
same day, will give complete succession
of this desirable vegetable"

A Yankee Story.

The funny columns of the English pa
pers derive more of their "stun for smiles
from journals in this country, than from any
other scource. We find in one of them
this ludicrous ancedote of the "bewitched
clock"
About half past seven o'clock on Sunday
night, human leg, developed in blue broad
cloth, might have been seen entering Dea-
con Cephas Barberry's kitchen window.
The leg was followed, finally, by the entire
person OF live yankee, attired in his Sun
day go-to meetin' clothes. 1t was, in short
Joe Mayweed who thus burglarously won
his way into the Deacon's kitchen.
Wonder how much the Old deacon
made by orderin' me not TO darkin' his door
again r soliloquized the young gentleman.
Promised him | wouldn't, but didn't say
nothing about winders. Winders is as good
as doors if there aint no nails to tear your
trowsers onto. Wonder if Sally1l come
down. The critter promised me. I'm af-
ferred to move about here, cause l might
break my shins over somethin' or another
and wake the old folks. Cold enough tc
freeze Polish bear here. o, here comes
sally"
The beautious maid descended with a
pleasant smile, tallow candle, and box
OF lueiter matches. After receiving rap.
turous greeting she made rousing fire in
the cooking stove, and the happy couple sal
down TO enjoy the sweet entercharpe Of
VOWS and hopes. But the course of true
love ran out whit smoother in old Bar
berry's kitchen that it does elsewhere. and
Joe who was just making up his mind to
treat himself to kiss, was startled by the
voice of the deacon, her father, shouting
from his chamber door:
" Sally what are yoa getting up in til,
middle of the night for p
" Tel him it's most morning." whispered
Joe.
" L can't tell fib," said Sally.
IN make it truth, thea" said Joe
and running to the huge old fashioned clocI
that stood in the corner, he set il at five.
" Look at the clock aud tell me wha
time it is cried the old gentleman.
" Its five by the Clock said Sal: an,
corroborating her words the clock strucl
five.
The lovers sat down again and resume,
their conversation. Suddenly the stair cas-,
began to ereak. Good gracious its fail
er," exclaimed Sally.
The deacon, by thunder" exelaime,
Joe. Hide me, Sally"
Where can hide you ?" cried the dis
tracied girl.
o, know" said be, ~Fn squeeze inn,
the clock case" And without ane4he,
word h- concealed himself in the case and
closed the door.
The deacon was dressed, and seating him.

to smoke.
q Five o'clock, ell ?" said he "Welb l
shall have time TO smoke three or fore pipes,
and then I'll 30 and feed the critters"
Hadn't you better feed the critters first!'
suggested the dutiful Sally.
no, smoking clears my head, and wakes
me up" replied the deacon, who seemed
not a whit disposed to hurry his enjoyment
But r-r-r-r-whiz ding ding ding =
went the clock.
"Tormeuted lightning" cried the dea-
con, starting up and dropping his pipe on
the stove "whal'n airlh is Iha. Z"
"Its only the clock striking i've" repli-
ed Sally, TREMENDOUSLY.
Whiz ding ding ding went the old
clock furously.
Power of creation!' cried the dea-
con-" Strikin' five it's struck more than a
hundred already"
"Deacon Barberry,' cried the deacon's
better half, who had hastily robed herself,
and now came plunging down the staircase
! in the widest state of alarm, "what in the
universe is the matter with the clock"
"Goodness only knows y replied the old
man, "it's been hundred years in the
family. and it never carried on so afore."
"Whiz ding ding! whiz-z-z% went
the clock again.
"Itl burst itselfr' cried the old lady,
shedding flood of tears sand there won't
be nothn' left Of it y
ats bewitched p cried the deacon, who
retained a leaven of good old New England
superstition in his nature. Any how"
said he, after pause, advancing resolutely
towards the clock, "I'll see what's going on
in it,"
90 DON'T cried his daughter, Selling
one of his coat tails, while his wife chung to
the other. "Don'tw chorused both women
to gcther.
I" Let 60 my raiment p shouted the dea-
con II amt feered of the powers of dark
ness"
But the women wouldt let go; so deacon
slipped out of his coat, and while from the
sudden sensation OF resistance, they fell
heavily upon the floor, he pitched forward
and seized the rob Of the clock. But nc
human power could open it, for Joe was
holding it from the inside with death grip.
The old deacon began to be dreadfully
frightened. III gives one more tug, when
an unearthly yen as of "a fiend in distress,
pitched head foremost at the deacon and
wrecked its fair proportions. The current
the cid lady, and Sally fled up stairs, and
Joe Mayweed, extrlcating himself from the
clock, effected his escape in the same way
in which he entered.
The next day all Appleton was alive with
the story how Deacon Barberry's clock had
been bewitched and although many believ-
ed his version, yet some, and especially Joe
Mayweed, effected to discredit the whole
affair, and limited that the deacon had deem
trying the experiment Of tasting frozen CT
der, and that the vagaries of the clock case
existed only in distempered imagination.
However, the interdict being taken off.
Joe was allowed to resume his courting,
and won the assent of the old people to his
union with Sally, by repairing the old clock
till it went as well as ever.
