Rebel Account Of the Battle Near
Charleston.

s NV Yonk, June 24.-The Charleston Her-
curry OF the nth says in relation to the battle of
the previous day, the Federals made three
charges with the bayonet on the Confederate
battery under command of Col. Lamon-once
without firing single volley. At every dis
charge, it says, great gaps were visible II the
Yankee lines. The Federals finding the battery
next tried a fanking movement on
both sides, and that on the west side seriously
threatened the rebels for time, but reinforce
ments coming up the Federals we're REFUSED;
The rebel loss is stated at 40 killed and loo
wounded. The rebels say they buried lao an
KEGS, and captured seventy prisoners. Inc req
erals carried of their wounded which tney, sne
rebels, estimate at 400. 80, IN
The account is evidently one sided, and will
doubtless prove less fatal to h!e on our sac sno
more Injurious to the rebels than here stated.

most significant of the decentralization of the
army of Beauregard, in the Macon Miss Bea-
on. of the 2Sht of May:
A special detail of soldiers from Corinth
have been sent to this place to see that none
Of the convaescent soldiers leave the hospi-
tails, and that none go into the country. 1t is
said that those entertaining soldiers without
reporting their lanes to the officers here will
be arrested. Our country friends should re.
port at once the names of their guests, or Of
those sick soldiers whom they entertain wheth-
er members of their families or not.

Stirring the Ground.

One Of the greatest neglects of farmers, is
not paying a due regard to the thorough prep
laration Of the ground for crops. The COM
lete pulvcrization Of the soil IS essential to
good crops; by this means loose and fruit
full condition will be obtained. That this
system yearly increases the fertilizing quail
ties Of the earth, every farmer who. has the
least experience in his art cannot have failed
tetnotice. There can be no doubt but that
the thorough blowing, narrowing, raking and
hoing, &C., Of our land expose it to the intlu-
ence and effects Of the atmosphere. This
state Of the soil has various advantages; the
roots O. plants peaetrate il with more read
mess and greater facility; it admits of parti-
cles Of moisture more equally it also pro-
'duccs q more equal and regular mixture Of
the different material of which the soils are
composed, so as to yield the food for plants
in more abundant manner. Then we say.
get good plows, harrows, and rollers. Plew
deep. Plow often, and stir the ground as
much as possible. +

a word with our Friends.

We hope that our correspondents will give
us their true names. not for publication, but
for our own benefit We have received sew
eral communications. without signatures,
that we cannot publish. Our department is
cpento all that visit to talk On the subject Of
agriculture. The most solid wealth Of the
country is in the land-and, by the better
Improvement Of the land, it is difficult to say
to how great an extent the general wealth
may be augmented. We look forward with
hope that facts and observations will be fur
nished us. both by the most literary as well
as the, yplainest Of cur fara, rs. One great
obstacle to tn usefulness Of agricultural pa
pers, and that is hard to overcome, is the re-
luctance OF practical men to communicate the
results of their experience. Improvement
will be FASTENED much more by publishing
what the best farmers do, than what TIE best
scholars think. We therefore again earnest
~ invite our friends to assist us as fa- they
can by writing for our columns.
