a few Words for Muck and Peat

Some persons who seem TO question the
usefulness Of these articles, would hardly
continue 10 doubt, if they considered well
Of what they are composed. The consist
largely Of half decayed vegetable matter
which grew long ago on the spot, or
were washed in from the adjoining high
lands. Being covered up. layer upon lay
er, their decomposition has been quite slow.
They also contain certain mineral elements
which have leached in from the surround
ing soils But, aside from these t~ertiliz-
ing clements peat and muck when dry pos
ses great attraction for ammonia. Alb
sorbing this from liquid and half solids.
they store it up for food of plants 10
which it may hereafter be applied.
Now, when We walk over a farm on
which the high lands are light and nearly
exhausted of their fertility, and Jet find in
the low lands deposits of peat and mud
and muck, is it not 4 plain case that this
farm is in = measure upside down, and
ought to be set on its feet again? Some
of its fertility, no doubt, has been carried
of in the crops raised and sold, but much
still remains behind, though down in the
boys and swamps. 1t has been travelling
down hill perhaps centuries, yet with so
silent a step that the farmer has not
noticed it. The laws Of nature have car
ried down the fertile elements, but theory
will not bring them up again. Man must
do that. There is o field for his ingenuity
and industry. His lands are not wasted
beyond recovery, ifhe will only bestir HIM
self and follow the hints which nature
gives him
Doubtless, it would not be best TO apply
this peat and muck in the crude, sour"
state in which it is first dug from the bed.
Let it have the ameliorating influences of
heat and air, and perhaps Offrost. Spread
it in large long heaps on the ~uplands-I
Mix it with lime or fresh ashes and let the
heap lie several months Or again, dry it,
and afterwards cart it under a lean 10 of
the barn, where it may be used to absorb
the liquids Of the stables. Then haul to
the hungry fields, and they will clap their
hands for joy, and the hills will be joyful
together.-AmeTican AgrfcutuTist

The Harvest in France.

A letter from Paris of the 18th of July,
says:
l regret to have to say that the accounts
of the harvest, which has already begun in
the south Of France, are not satisfactory.
The hopes of a superintendent and even a
precocious harvest have intirely vanished,
and it will be fortunate If We have a very
ordinary yield. The accounts from foreign
countries do not seem to be much better,
and though, according to present appear
ances, there is little reason to apprehend a
scarcity, still any serious reduction in pr
ces is but family expected. The accounts
from Nantes show that prices have been
kept up there. From England orders
come IN for American wheat but as the
disposable quantity is not large, little bu-
siness was done.

Ns,o York Election, Hoo, ant whdt Of ~
The almost painful doubt concerning tho
New York election mas finally, by tho absence
of her Union men and the persistent teaching
of her pro slavery and prorum press "thas
the e,pperkeads were even better Tor tho IN
in and the war than the administration itself"
been determined in favor of the asprants lot
power, and adverse to the standard bearers OF
freedom. aud now, if in our great anxiety
for the right we could not, pending the can
vass 500 any hope except in triumph, let US
zee after defeat, whether, having done nobly
their duty, the very philosophy of things and
faith in Providence do not afford comforting
ground of encouragement.
Well, first then, had the friends OF goos
government succeeded by bare majority IN
electng their worthy candidates, their nu-
merclally formidable opponents would av
been Left in position to paralyze their lniiu-
| ence by continuation of the same imposition
that has so well ministered to their success
Whereas, as the case now stands, if the real
purpose of tn leaders shall be boldly adher-
cd to, the masses who have been misled by
them will abandon them to their certain dis
grace and destruction.
Meanwhile the patriotic and philanthroplc
people of our country, backed by the hopes
and prayers of all christendom, and the sure
benediction of the great sovereign OF the UNI
versal world, will prove an overnatch Tor tht
combined conspirators seeking to subvert thf
hopes not only of our own nations dellVeranc'

DEATH OF GEN. MITCHELL.--Gen. Mitch
ell, whose sudden death at Beaufort, s. G., has
brought grief to all loyal hearts, was born in
Kentucky in $780, He began life in Mer-
ocautle business, but at the age Of l5years en-
tered the military academy at West Point
In 1929 he was made acting assistant profess
or mathematics, position he held for two
years. az He afterward practioed law for two
wears was then for ten years professor of

ment Of an observatory at Cincinnati, he sue
ceeded in carrying out his plans, and was
made director Of the new institution; in 1859
he became director of the observatory at Al
bany, at the same time retaining his conneo-
ton with that ut Cincinnati. At the breaking
out Of the rebellion, he went into, the contest
with all the enthusiasm, Of his ardent nature ;
his brilliant campaign in northern Alabanla is
fresh in the recollection Of all. When that

briefinterval Of rest, to South Carolina, where
