The White Bean.
Relative % lhe cultivalion Of lhe VIII

Relative to the cultivation Of the white
bean the Country Gentleman says:
The cultivation of the bean should be
extended. The crop has this great ad-
vantage--if the price is low, the beans
may be mixed with corn and other grain,
ground, and fed to cows and sheep
They ore one of the very best kinds of
food for mich cows. The crop does not
impoverish the land, and when fed to
domestic animals, the manure is rich and
valuable.
Many suppose that poor rand is neces-
sary to raige white beans-only because
they will grow better on poor land than
other crops. Manuring the land for them
has doubled the crop. Nothing is bet
ter for them than good rich corn land
If the soil is rather heavy, an excellent
way is to turn over the sod late in the
spring, roll and harrow it and plant the
beans. There will be less hoeing need
ed as fresh inverted sod is usually clean
soil. When the soil is free from weeds
the best way is to drill in the beans, so
that the drills may be about two and a.
half or three feet apart, and the seed 2
inches apart in the drills. If drill can
not be had, furrow out the land, and drop
the beans by mailing or tying a small tin
pail to the lower end of rod about the
size of a walking stick, make hole in
the bottom large enough for the beans to
pass out, and walk along, shaking it over
the furrow. The quantity or distance
may be perfectly regulated by making
the hole the right size from trial, by
shaking more or less rapidly, and walk
ing slow or fast.
If the soil is weedy, plant in hills a
foot and half apart in the row, and
seven to a hill. The beans will be yell
low in three months, and ready for har-
vesting which is done bypulling them. If
the weather continues dry a few days,
they will soon be dry enough, if placed
in small heaps. IF wet weather is fear
ed, take the punches and place them in
small stacks made around pole driven
into the ground, radiating from the cen
ter or pole, and with either roots or tops
out-these stacks may be as high as a
man can easily reach, and should be built
on four small sticks at the bottom, the
size Of stove wood, laid across 10 keep
the beans of the wet ground, and to al
low the drying wind % Blow UNDER
Nhen quite dry, draw but the pole and
draw them to the barn, and thrash during
the winter.
As a single proof of the profits of
bean raising, a gentleman of Geneva,
New York recently informed US that he
had planted small white beans In the va
cancies of his extensive nursery, where
trees had been dug last Spring
ting to about 40 acres. The cultivation
cost almost nothing, as they stood in rows
of scattered trees; but he thinks if the
beans stood alone, the whole cost of cul-
tivation would not have been eight dol
lars an acre. They had 500 bushels of
beans, which sold at one dollar and fifty
cents per bushel, for 81 ZOO The cost
of cultivation, estimated at the very high
est at 1920, deducted from this sum,
leaves a clear profit of $3.50 for the use
of the 40 acres of land. They have fine,
rich, tile-drained land, bat it had evident
ly been considerably exhausted by the
preyjouS growth of trees. I

The LOraI Indians Of Kansas.

The Leavenworth Conservative says
that Opotheyoholo Chief Of the loyal
Indians who have fed to Kansas from
the Southern Territory, TO organize and
prepare TO accompany Lanes expedition,
had an interview Genl Hunter the other
day ia which he detailed the s6feriugs
Of his people their present wants and
hopes. He said they numbered about
1000 and that they have been grossly be
trayed by John Ross, Chief Of the Cher
okees who in league with the Confeder-
ates had lured them to a spot were they
might have been slaughtered. They
were first attacked by 5000 Indians and
Texans and repulsed them driving them
five miles. Next day the rebels came
upon them IN a stronger force and were
again repulsed' Opolheyoholo and his
tribe thought II was time for them 20
| leave and they started for Kansas but on
the way had another engagement and a
third time came off victorious They
reached the border however very much
reduced having suffered severely for the
want of provisions and clothing. They
are now only anxious to be taken into
the service Of the United States and to,
60 back with such numbers as 10 complete
revenge for their wrongs. OPoIheyoho-
10 is described as a splendid fellow luQ
of determination and FIRE.
Besides him there are 8, GOO other IN
dians in Kansas ready to Join the column
making 5000 in all.

BGr Messrs KLUsMAN, MUENTzER, HANEY,
MILLER, and SMITH favor the adoption Of
the new charter, in order that the copOra-
ton may include the present suburbs of the
city, and the residents in the various en-
largements be compelled to pay city taxes.
Can any of these gentlemen inform the
people how much the taxes accruing from
these additions to the city will exceed the
cost. of laying out streets, and otherwise
improving those enlargements.2 Our col
umns are open for such an exposition.

too mean to grant hin That privilege even
60 much as by his vote.
But the gentlemen to whom we are in
debted for tia renewed agitation of this
Question, have once more reckoned with
out their host" The people have diseov-
cred their designs, and will take prompt
steps to defeat them. All their talk about
the superiority of the new over the old
charter will deceive no one. All the people
desire to know is, that in adopting the new
charter, they murder their schools and rob
themselves of blessing greater than all the
advantages to be derived from the new
charter put together. When, in addition to
this fact they ascertain, as they have, that
the advantages of the new charter are
6ctitious-are a humbug-they will not
only cast it aside with contempt, but treat
the authors of their attempted deception in
similar manner. Let the friends of the
schools be wide awake and earnest. 1t will
only require from the friends of education
one half the effort made by its enemies, to
insure the schools a greater triumph than
has ever before been known in the city.

This day Sunday the day broke fair
As the sun broke on the horizon, a slight
haze was visible on the water, which pre-
vented an extended vision. At half past
six o. clock A. H., this haze cleared away.-
Looking towards SewalPs Point, there ap-
peared tbs Merrimac, and the rebel steam
ers Yorktown and Patrick Henry. They
were stationary--the Merrimac to the right
of the others, blowing off steam. Their
appearance was the cause for a second
alarm. The rebel craft seemed celebrating
what to do-whether to move on to at
tempt the destruction of the Minnesota,
which was yet aground, or move on to the
U MON feet anchored near the Rip Raps

second visit caused great precipitation In.

At seven A. N. plan seemed to have
been adopted, and the Merrimac steamed in
the direction of the Minnesota, which was
stin aground. The Yorktown and James
town were crowded with troops, and steam
ed slowly after the Merrimac. I he plan of
the latter seemed to be to destroy the Min
uesOta, and then proceed to shell cut the
camp at Newport News and land and take
possession of the Union camp with their
own troops The Merrimac steamed along
with boldness until she was within three
miles of the Minnesota, when the Monitor
essayed from behind the latter and proceed
ed towards the Merrimae. AT first the
rebel craft seemed nonplussed, and hest
tated, no doubt in wonderment at the queer
looking machine approaching her. The
Merrimac then closed the distance between
her and the Monitor until they were within
a mile of each other. Both batteries stop
ped. The Merrfmac fred shot at the Min
