around the roots of willows often proves
very hurtful to the tibrous feeders, 8.
we often meet with great portion %

surface of The soil. Plan ions Of osierl
thus treated, Notwithstanding the vci,-
STUDIES of the seasons, will bring the
grower at least the sum of $50 for every
year after they arrive at their full stage
of growth. This sum of $50 have
lninutely tested, can be at the present
time realized from an acre of willows.
after all expenses Of cleaning and cut
ting down ;he crop are deducted.
The way in which willows are most
commonly disposed Of after being Gu; is
they are sorted into trussc> and tied
into bundles of two and sometimes three
feet in circumference and if intended
to be stripped of their bark, they are
set on thick end, immersed few inches
in standing water, and left there until
the latter part of the following month Of
May.
1t has of late been asserted Ly various
respectable parties that as high sun as
from 500 to $50 ofnet profit, and some.
times more, could be derived nj the
present time from an acre of willows,
under very ordinary treatment. They
succeed best in northern exposures,
provided they are not ovcr.oppei.-
Should the ground be at all sui able for
the crop, each set will produce the first
year two good baske:-rods, or "a ,0pO-
worth II cents per 100 or l20. The
second year, the sets, being much stro,,-
ger, will produce on an average six rods,
one more or less being considered very
common number-one of which may be
left on each stock for hoops. and the
remaining 10000 cut for bas Ike $, which
would be worth about Sl2O. BY the
third year there ought to be at least
$1,000 hoops, worth 81 per 100 or 100,
and from $4,000 to 10000 rods, worth
at least S67.

TO acknowledge The independence of some
part of the Gisaffcctcd region, aud that
all the slave Sta es north of such parts
will then say-The Union for which we
have struggled being already gone, we
now choose to 90 with the Southern
section. To deprive them of this hope
substantially ends the rebellion, and
the hi il ion of emancipation completely
deprivcs them of it as to all the States
initiating it. The point is not that all
the S ates tolerating slavery would very
soon, if at all initiate emancipation but
that while the offer is equally made to
all, the more Northern shall, by such
initiation. make 1t Ger ain to the more
Southern, that, in no event, will the
former ever join the latter in heir pro.
posed couscdcracy. l say initiation,
because, in my judgment, gradual and
not sudden emancipa ion is be ter for
all. In the mere financial or pccuniary
view, any member of Congress, with the
census table and Treasury reports before
him, can readily see for himself how very
soon the current expenditures of this
war would purchase, at fair valuation,
all the slaves in any named Stae. Such
proposition, on the part of the General
Government, set up no claim of ri ht
by Federal authority, to in crfcrc with
slavery within State limits, referring,
as it does, the absolute control of the
subject, in each case, 10 the s ate and
its people Immediately interested. 1t
Is proposed, as matter of perfectly
free choice wi h them. In the annual
message last December l thought fit
to say "The Union must be preserved,
and hence all indispensable means must be
employed" l said this not has lily, but
deliberately. War has been made, and
continues to be an indispensable means
to this end. A practical reacknowlcdg-
ment OF the national authority would
render the war unnecessary, and it
would at once cease. If, however,
reSls ance continues, the war mus also
continue, and it is impossible to foresee
all the incidents which may attend, and
all the ruin which may follow it. Such
as may seem Indispensable, or may OBJ
Vlously promise great ethclency towards
ending the Struggle, must and will come.
The proposition now made is an offer
only. hope it may be esteemed no
offence to ask whether the pccuniary
consideration rendered would not be of
more value to the Sta es and private
persons concerned than are the ius itu-
ton and property in it, in the presen
aspect of affairs. While it is true that
the adoption of the proposed resolution
would be mere initiatory, and not within
itself practical measure, it is recon-
mended, in the hope that it would soon
lead 10 important prac ical results. In
full view of my great responsibility to
my God and to my country, earnestly
beg the attention of Congress aud the
people to the subjec:.

A MARRIAGE A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
The following extract from the Gentle

During the action the other rebel gunboats,

some damage and killing four or five of her

it wouldn't do.

And old Ohio, she jumped in, Missouri

And Indiana threw her arm around good

Old Union threw his head back-traveled
rather slow,
Until they reached Manassas, they hallooed

Their cheers for Union made him put new

He run into Secession tore the spokcs
out of a wheel.
They took the broken wagon back and put
i'll all new spokcs,
Sccesh went out towards Kentuck, to tell it
to the folks.
Old Union started after, and he made the
welkin ring,
When he run into Secession at a little place
-" Mill Spring"
Seccsh got scared and ran away-the like
was never seen,
Old Union threw his head back and sailed
through Bowling Green:
Secesh ran to the Cumberland, and couldn't
get across,
He broke the reins that guided him, and
trusted to the boss.
Old Union got his i" dandcr up and passed
him under way
He run into Fort Donclson, but didn' 70 to

Tennessee fell ont the wagon, and the
balance of them cried,
And asked Mcclellan as he passed, "Say,
Mister, let us ride. -
They went from there to Nashville, and
there they II change the scenes,
They'll grease the axles, turn old Unions

They'll stop at Memphis, feed the boss, and
