Coasparocaes Agasaast Lincoln.

The n Y. Herald of the 18th has dispatch
from Washington stating that most extraordi-
nary disclosures have been made there verbally
and BY letters from prominent politicians, of
vast conspiracy OF radicals Of the Fremont
faction to depose the present administration
and place Fremont at the head of provisional
government; in other words, to make him
military dictator. Gov. Andrew and Senator
Wilson of Massachusetts are said 20 be at the
bottom OF the movement, and meeting of
Northern Cows. to request Lincoln to resign
is one of the steps proposed. The corpirators
lately asked authority from the Secretary of
War to raise $4,000 volunteers in New York,
to be placed under Fremont, ostensibly for the
war, out they were very coldly refused by the
Secretary. Failing in this, secret organiza-
ton know as sRoundheads' has been inaugural
ed, and when this shall number 200 900 men
they aae to call Fremont to their head; and then
with two thirds Of the present army, which
they expect to join them, they will soon have
million of armed men. -. J,,Asgs.s. a. So,
f1ow much foundation there may be for
this story we cannot tell. It may be only an
invention of Bennett to force the sale of a
thousand or two extra Heralds But it's very
publication shows that there is an uneasy and
unsettled state of public mind at the North.
Bennett is shrewd enough not to invent stories
which lack plausibility. He says this one is
s'vouched for by men of high repute in New
York and other Northern States, and is the last
card of those who have been vainly attempting
to drive the President into the adoption of THEN
own peculiar policy"
The N. Y. World closes on srticle on the
Herald.s statement with the following signifi-
cant paragraph. "It is hopeful sign of the
times that the nation is awakng to its perils--
that strong united conservative opposition
party is forming and gathering strength which
will give peaceful channels to noble passions
that might else break out in perilous and un-
safe violencs,and will constran results to which
it could not persuade-and that thisid sidsnunciaa
tion of central imbecility ard inefhciency at
Washington is becoming so universal that
refuse to hear and heed the. general verdict

The New York World has an article denonnc-
ing the present clamor among the people at the
North for arms, from which it is quite evident
that the Government stands in almost as much2s
fear of the people it does of the Coafederatss
1t says: f..s e.-.. ...n.sg .e.,..,tsssH ~
We regret to see the clamor which is made
for general arming of our population. It 10
occasioned by ar unmanly fright, and Is cacui-ls
ated to do Infinite damage in drawing men from 9
useful and productive occupations, to spend
their time in trying to be poor soldiers The
Convenient has called for and will receiva
all the men it needs or knows what TO do with
! What We really need issnot more men,,
but competent Generals. The frantic calling
for more soldiers IS a sign Of real weakness q
heart. What we want is not the lsgions or
Xerxes; but the spirit Of the Greeks Who beat
them. If we caanot conquer the South With
one million of men, it is quite clear that with
two. millions we shall only conquer ourselves
by exhausting the country's resources.

A Proposition From the Nor5haoest. .foa
We violate no confidence in the statement
that Hon. IL. S. Lane, Judge Test, J esse L..
Williams, Hon. Dick Thompson, Cassius M.
Clay, Garrett Davis, and other representative
men of the Northwest have been in Washington
for some days past urging upon the President
the acceptance Of a proposition for the consoli.
dation of the troops in the Nornwestern Ststes
into one grand division under the command of
Governor Morton. They pledge themselves
in behalf Of the great Northwest to crush out
the rebellion from the line of Virginia south
ward in ninety days, and leave to New York
Pennsy lvania, and the East the task of encoun
tering Lee and his desperate ;legions. The
proposition was we'll considered an1 fully
Inatured before it was made. " The decision of
the President has not been rendered, but grave
fears are entertained for the fate Of the propo.

SOwING ASPARAGUS SEED. This seed may
be sown about the middle, or towards the lat
ter end of this month, on four feet wide beds of
rich earth Sow it tolerably thin on the sur
face, clap it in with the back of spade, cover
it little better than half an inch deep with
earth out of the alleys, and then rake the beds
smooth.
Sowing BEET SEED.-For this porpose make
choice of a piece of rich deep ground; lay it
out into four feet wide beds, push the loose
earth into the alleys then sow the seed tolera-
bly, thin and cover it with the earth out of these
alleys to about three-quarters of an inch deep,
Or let drills be drawn with hoe, near an inch
deep, and foot or little more asunder; drop,
the seeds thinly therein and cover them over
the same depth as above. Or you may sow
the seed on piece of ground, rough after be-
ing dug, and rake it well in,
ONIoN.-There are various methods of sow
ing seed; but first [ viii give you the one prac-
tised by the most judicious and careful garden
-ers.
As you proceed in digging the ground rake 1T
well after you that being done lay it out into
three and half, or four feet wide beds, with
alleys between of about a foot wide; then with
the back Of the rake push off the light loose
earth from the top Of each bed in the alleys.
one half 10 the one side, the other to the oppo-
site; this done, and being provided with good
seed, SOW it thereon ct the rate of one pound
for every sixteen rods, and with shovel east
the earth out of the alleys over the beds, COW
ering the seeds evenly about half an inch deep;
then rake the beds lightly, drawing off all the
Jumps into the alleys.
When the plants are up let them be kept
very clean and free from weeds of any kind by
good careful handwriting, which is to be re-
peated, from time to time, as they require it
and where they grow too close thin them to a.
bout two inches, plant from plant, all over the
beds; by these means you will have excellent
onions for the table the first year.
Sowing seed, TO produce small seed onions,
will answer better in pra, which see Hsown
in this month, they would generally grow to
too large a size for that purpose.
SowING PARsLEY--Parsley seed may be
sown in single drill along the edge of the
quarters or borders of the garden; it viii make
a useful and also neat edging, If not suffered to
grow rank, especially the curled parsley; or if
large supplies are wanted for market, It may be.
sown in continued rows nine inches asunder, or
upon the general surface, trod down and raked

who smiled so much above his stomach, that
was reminded of the beautiful lines
's As some tall cliff that lift its awful form,
Swelis from the vale and midway leaves the storm
Though round its base c,nntry's ruin spread
Eternal noonshne settles It's head.'
Upon going into supper room. my boy, be-
held a paradise of eatables that made me wish
myself a knife and fork, with nothing but bot
tie of mustard to keep me company. There
were oysters q la ytpadc,m: Turkeys a Ia ruff
ties; chickens Ia 1fataasaleh beef a Ia B4R Run;
fruit Ia stanakake; jellies Ia Kolarum0rbus;
and ices a Ia agueiite.
The ornamental confectionery was beautiful
" symbolicall of the times. At one end of the
table there was a large lump of white candy,
with six carpet taeks lying upon it. This rep
resented the Tax on Sugar" At the other
end was a large platter containing imitation
mud, in which two candy Brigadiers were swim
ming towards each other, with their swords be-
tween their teeth. This symbolized WAR
These being very hard times, my boy, and
the Executive not being inclined to be too ex-
pensive i'll It's marketing, most ingenious ex-
pedient was adopted to make it appear that
there were Just twice as much of certain costly
delicacies on the table as there really was. A.
bout the centre of the table lay LARGE mirror,
and on this was placed few expensive dishes.
OF course the looking glass gave them doub-
le effect. For instance, if there was pound
Of beefsteak on the plate, it produced another
pound in the glass, and the effect was two pounds.
When economy can be thus artistically blen-.
ded with plentitude, my boy, money ceases to
be king, and butchers bills dwindie Hereafter,
when I receive for my rations pint of trans
parent coffee ard two granite biscuits, I shall
use looking glass for plate.
H.was the very which-ing hour of the night
when the General and myself left the glittering
scene, and we had to ask several patrols which
way to go.
On parting with my comrade-in-arms, says L;

He looked at me in three winks, and says he:

As toss on my wearisomc bed;

And star-like, gemming the hall,
Where the tide of fashion flows inward
To the Lady-Prcsident's Ball!
"Aiy temples are throbbing with fever,
My limbs arc palsied with pain,
Aud the crash Of that festal music
Burns into my aching brain
Till / rave with dclirious fancies;
And coffin; and bier, and pail,
Mix up with the flowers and laces

With the feVer gripping my vitals,
And doing my hapless head
What matters that nurses are callous,
And rations neagre and small,

At the Laely-Prcsilent's Ball.

Who comforts my sweet young wife

And jellies, and fruits, and cold ices,
And fountains that fash as they fall;
