AGRICULTURE AL.
Rivalry in Farming,

Why is it that we see no more cofnpSti.
aioa aud rivalry among iarmers? Tn,
mechanic, manufacturer, and in short those
of every profession, are always in a strife tc
Guido sheic competitors, while the farmer
goes listlessly on, not seeming to care il hi.
lneighbor does rise as much again as he doe:
on the same land, or that of better quality
Ii there chance TO be two mechanics in the
same village, pursuing the same branch OF
the trade, they are always on the alert to
see who shall do the best work, SO as TO Sc
cure the most custom, which is all right and
sensible. Is it not equally sensible for two
farmers livipgsd by side, to engage in such
laudable competition? IL there were half
the zeal manifested among farmers that
there is in other classes, the products of the
soil would be doubled in a short time. Agri-
cultural editors and societies are doing their
best to bring out this spirit, but as yet with
but little success. The manner in which
premiums are offered for field crops is, in
any opinion, poorly calculated to bring out
much competition in their production. Most
of the societies now offer premium for the
largest yield from an acre of ground, regard
less Of the expense in producing it. Pre-
miums should be offered on not less than
five acres of ground, and for the greatest
yield at the least cost, taking the condition
of the land before and after the crop is tax
en- off, into consideration. This would give
all better chance for competition, and be
productive Of far greater benefits to the
farming community, than as at present con-
Quoted 1t would cause greater portion
of the farm to be enriched and also cause
greater quantities of grain to be raised,
thereby benefting all classes, which is the
protested aim of agricultural societies. As
now conducted, not more than one farmer
in one thousand completes for premium,
and those who do, select some little piece of
an acre, or less, and put on all the manure
they have, and thus raise great crop, cost
ing as much again as it is worth But they
get premium, and great name for raising
the largest crop in the County or State, as
the case may be- Cannot the managers of
our agricultural societies, editors of agricul-
tural journals, or some of their readers, de-
wise some plan by which all farmers may
De induced to compete for premiums, and
lei the premiums be offered in manner
having reference to the permanent fertility
OF the soil, as well as the production of large
crops. If such scheme can be brought
out, we may look for increased competition
among the farmers, increased productions,
and the original design of societies wiz be
in part accomplished. Brother farmers, let
US hear your sentiments on the subject, and
see if we cannot wake up the managers to
the necessity Of some reform in this matter.

New YORK, July 9th,


The Worlds Washington despatch says
it is not unlikely that the President will is
sue proclamation at an early day announ-
cling change in the policy of the admins
tration to wit: A more vigorous prosecution
of the war.
Gen. Mitchell is assigned to command
under Gen. Pope and will soon enter upon
his duties.
The Times Washington despatch an
nounces that discovery has been made by
the Government of great rebel conspiracy.
which was to have burst upon the country
simultaneously with the great battles before
Richmond The rising was expected to take
place in Tennessee. Kentucky and Maryland,
and JEFF. DAVIS was in the confusion to
march on Washington. The first part of the
plan. the defeat Of Gen. Mcclellan failed
however, and consequently the rest was not
attempted.
A Richmond paper Of the Sd represents
Magruder's and Johnston's divisions fright
fully cut up and the loss of officers as very
great. The confessed valor Of our men de-
faated their plans of capturing General
McClelian's entire force. It says that the
retreat was managed with eonsummare
Judgement and the position Of the
Federals was defended with such stubborn
ness as to cause the heavy losses Of our (reb-
ely side.
The number of our prisoners at Richmond
is $500. Gen. Mccall is at SpOttswocd
uouse. Nothing is said about his beng
wounded.
The death of jackson is not alluded to-
Richmond is SO crowded with wounded that

unnecessary.
The rebel army is in danger of complete
decentralization. The paper says that when
whole divisions turn their backs upon the
foe, the very safety of the city is imperiied.
The same paper suggests the parcelling out
of the prisoners among the plantations to
work in place of the negroes who haye been
stolen or run away
The World has a statement from Union
man who has Just reached this city from
Atlanta, Ga, respecting the position OF at
fairs at the South. From his account, it
appears that had the recent contest termina-
ted in a Confederate defeat, the rebellion
would have been ended, as the spirit OF
the South is almost utterly broken
by the long series of rebel defeats that the
rebel army at Richmond previous to the late
battle was over 200 900 strong. Fully one
half of Beauregard's army passed through
Atlanta bound for Richmond, to this gentle
mans personal knownedge. But compar-
atiyely small quantity Of cotton has been de-
stroyed at the South las the planters do what
they can to save and not destroy their cot
ton.

The rebels have a number of siege guns
mounted on carriages which they transferred
from point to point, as their previous 20
sition was made uutenable by the fire of our

Gen. wiliams has planted a field battery
on the point opposite the city, which causes
considerable annoyance to the rebel gunneIs.
The work on the canal which is to make

The Herald's Washington despatch says
the President is satisfied that affairs on the
Peninsula are in much better condition than

to Gen. Mcclellan for having in no way ex-
aggerated facts. He has seen the necessity
of reinforcing the army and returns with the
conviction that Gen. Mcclellan is in his
proper position, that the army is devoted to
him and iull of confidence in his ability and
that all he requires should and shall be done
without delay.

besides numerous fatboats laden with rice.
The negroes on the appearance Of the gun
boats came in troops to claim protection and
were taken of to the number Of some COO.
A company of guerillas on the morning of
