A Voice for the Union from North
Carolina.

CarOlltla.
Mr.. Glmcr, of North Carolina, in
a State Convention lately in session
at Raleigh, thus expressed himself while
speaking in reference to the new law
taxing slaves
" l also, while am up, desire to call
the attention of those gentlemen who
are opposing this measure to the fact
that they, and they alone, were chiefly
instrumental in carrying North Carolina
out of the Union. Yes, gentlemen, it
is you who were in fa"or of contracting
a great debt by carrying on war with
the Union. You claimed that secession
was necessary, in order to give security
to the institution Of slavery hence, it
was for the exclusive benefit of you,'
property that secession took place, and
this enormous debt was contracted, and
all this misery and slaughter brought
upon the country. At the commence
ncnt of secession you were exceedingly
patriotic, and said that the South must
secure her independence, at whatever
sacrifice of blood or treasure.
" Gentlemen, you have succeeded in
forcing the State out OF the Union you
have also succeeded in saddling great
debt upon the Stae thus far your
wishes have been realized. You have
had your way. In gratifying your
wishes this debt has been incurred. You
have remained at your frcsides while
the fearful struggle was going on, and
obliged those who represen ed no lro-
perty to fight your battles. Now that
the deb: has been contracted by you,
who represent the slave interest of the
State, you, nevertheless, have the cool
ness, with all these facts staring you
before in the face, to rise in your places
snd refuse to be taxed. by Directing to
pay your share of this great debt, you are
obligiug those who fought your battles
to pay it for you. | desire to know if

and inhuman than this | had no hand

Cultivation of the Ruta Baga Turnip.

Cultivation Of the Ruta Baga Turnip.
| The best soil for the ruta baga is deep
sandy loan. 1t should be rich, and deeply
plowed and puvcrized. If the lot of an acre
| or two is not sufficiently fertile, either Of the
following mixtures constituting the quantity
requisite for one acre will make it so:
No. Ito two-horsc loads of well rotted
horse or COW manure, bushels of bone dust,
bushels of wood ashes, bushels of plaster
bnshel of refuse salt; mix the above well
together. Let them remain to fcrment for a
couple of weeks. Turn over the heap to
incorporate the materials still more eflectual-
~, and LET 1t rest for couple of weeks longer
before carting out for use.
No. 30 two horse loads of rich stable
manure, 200 pounds of Manipulated guano, |

ouSlclS OF llneiy crushed bones DUST Tie
guano along the edges, and at the bottom of
the drill follow with the bones in the same
manner-ridge up-fatten down the crown
of the ridge and drill in the seed. The ruta
baga, like all OF its tribe, delights in ammonia
and the posphates, but more especially in tho
latter; and the Manipulated guano, with the
addition Of the extra quantity of rhosphatcs
furnished by the bones, supplies to pericc.
ton all the constituents that the plant really
requires.
Method of Cul'ue-Ruta Bagas, as we'll as
other turnirs. will grow well when seeded
broadcast, but will invariably grow much
better when seeded in drills. 1t the latter
method is adopted, run the furrow north and
south at a distance of twenty-scven inches
apart and to depth Of four inches. Spread
within these burrows either of the composs
described above, or sprinkle at the bottom
and sides the guano and bone dust; ridge up
with two bouts of the pillow, run a roller over
the ridge to fatten them, drill in tho seed in
the centre of the fattcncd ridge about an
inch deep, and cover lightly with the back of
rake.
After Culihre.-When the plants appear
above ground, dress them early in the morn
ing when the dew is on the leaf, with mS-
ture of ashes and plaster. Weed the young
plants carefully, and thin out to six inches
apart IN the rows, All that remains. then, to
do, is to keep the soil light and loose with
the cultvator and tho hoe.

"And what is so rare rs u day in June?
. Then ii ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune
And over it softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see 1t glistcn;
Every cloud feels stir of night,
An instinct wthinit that reaches and
... towers,
And grasping blindly above it for light,
a Climbs to u soul in grass and flowers =
The flush of life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslip siartles in meadows green,
The butlcrcup catches the sun in the
clIalce,
And there's never a leaf or a blade to meal
To be some happy creatures palace
The little bird sits at his door in the sun.
Atilt like blossom among the leaves,
And let his illumined being Ter run
With the delugc of Summer it receives;
His mate feels the eggs beneath her wings,
And the heart in her dumb breast iluttcrs
and sings:
He sings 70 the wide world, and she to her
hest
In Tie nice ear of Nature Which song is the
best?
Now is the high tide of the year,
And whatever of life hath cbbcd away
Comes flooding back, with a rply cheer,
Into every bare inlet and creek and bay
Now the heart is SO full that Il drop over
fills it,
We are happy now because God so wills it
No matter how barren the past may have
lis enough for us to know that the leaves
are green:
We sit in the warm shade anti feel right wei
How the sap crccps up and the blossoms
swell
We may shut our eyes, but we cannot help
knowing
That skies are clear and grass is @ rowing >
The breeze comes whispering in our ear,
That dandcluns are blos-on.ing near,
That maize has Sproutcd, that streams
arc flowing,
That the river is bluer than the sky.
That the robin is pastcring his house hard
And if the breeze kept the good news back,
For other couricrs we should not lack;
We could guess it all by yon heiter's
And bark how clear bold chanticleer,
warmed with the new wine of the year,
Tells all i'll his usty growing!
Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how;
Everything is happy now,
Everything is upward strivlng;.
It's as easy now for the heart to be true
As for grass to be green or skies to be blue,
''I'is the natural way Of living;
v no knows whittier the clouds have fed?
In the unscarred heaven they leave no
wake;
And the eyes forget the tears they have shed,
The soul partakes the seasons youth,
And the sulphurous rilts of passion and
Lie deep meath silnncc pure and smooth,
Like burnt out crater. healed with snow.

On Mason's home the sunlight falls,
But not as once it fell;

And the east wind to the west wind calls
Through the broken easements and ruine

Thick cronding fancics throng my brain
While thoughtful here | stand

Light forms move swift to music strain
But feel the blight of deathless stain,
The clasp of II traitors hand.
And here where beauty decks the earth,

Here had that hcllish treason birth
That periled freedmen, blackened WORTH
Brought ruin to the cottar's hearth,
And dared the wrath of God.

The Russian Locust War.

Continental papers contained, during the
last few years, trighttul destruction done by
the locust. In BrSsarabia, these animals
covered an area of Us 600 acres with their
eggs in the CherSonesus and Tauric Govern
ment. twice that space was occupied. All
possible means were reSorted to to kill these
eggs. such as digging. collecting and turyng
aud burning them, blowing the ground and
tramplng ii hard with horses and cattle. On
one piece Of land of loo acrcs near Chotin
not less than 4 400 bushels of locust eggs
were collected. About the first of May,
when the eggs began to hatch, rollers and
harrnws were brought into rcquisition, but
all to no avail. Toward the last of July this
pest passed beyond Bender on the Dneistcr,
in width of g miles, and in mass from to
8 inches thick, and crossing the river within
. days, they spread themselves along the low
lands Of the opposite shore. Here it was
that battle was fought such as the records
Of Natural History can show no parallel to
men Of all nationalities gathered to defend
their homcstcadS, and in short time 400
men stood in arms against the Destroyer
Meanwhile the locust had spread over an
extent OF lG square miles. To prevent them
from attacking the surrounding fields, deep
bitches ~ to % miles long were dug, and
men placed along these bitches to kill the
locusts dropping into them. Others fought
them with usli-harrows and broons In those
places where bitches could not be made
Where the ground was clean, hordcs of horses
and cattle were driven al0ng to crush them -
Pickcts on horeback were stationed to watch
the movements Of the enemy breaking through
the ranks. Light days were thus occupied.
Three quarters Of the locusts were destroyed,
when the remainder had completed their last
change and became winged insects on the
9th of July, the first swans rose into the air
