RICHARD IRWIN, who has always been true
TO the country and 10 the Democracy, very
deseryedly received the unanimous nomination
of the Union Democracy of Butte and Plnmas
counties, for State Senator. He is an able
legislator, and we hope he will weigh uncle
Tom Shannon's sugar, Just for those Chinese
fusion votes the latter gave in the last Legisla-
ture.- Sierra Democrat.
There is a fusion movement of "uncle
Tom of more Importance than the one allu-
ded to, for which be has already been weigh
ed, in the true Democratic balance and found
guilty. We mean his fusion with the Adolf
tionists-the enemies of the Union-who are
sending the country " to the ID, across lots "
as the Mormon prophet would say, as rapidly
as their madly fanatical schemes can be con
summated

Confederate Loss at Shiloh.

The Memphis Argus of Thursday. April
oath, gives the following concerning our losses
at Shiloh:
Our table, giving list as far as possible of
the casualties sustained by the Cunfederates at
Shiloh, to day takes thirty eight regiments
"t infantry and one cavalry, in which the kill
ed, wounded and missing amount to $3.50 A
sufficient number of regiments yet remain in
returned which will probably swell tho list to
1000. We do not think the full official reports
will show greater list OF casualties Already
We have killed outright. 927, and wounded, A
II. VI the latter perhaps one fiftieth have
died since the publication of the lists, or will
die, which will increase the number of killed
thus far to aboat lois. OF missing there is re
ported list of 36 !, of whom, of course the
greater portion either prisoners wounded,
or will return unhurt. Probably very tew Of
them have fallen.
Considering the immense number wounded,
the proportion receiving mortal IN juries is much
smaller than usual and assuming the entire list
of casualties tn be 70O0 as above mentioned,
We do not think that the number Of soldiers
killed or permanently disabled from Shiloh will
much exceed 1900. Our force upon engaging
the enemy on Sunday, aud without reinforce
ment or food, held the field arother
day against superior body Of fresh troops,
and that nearly one fourth Of the entire mum.
Ger OF C"ntederates engaged were either killed
or wounded, spectacle of herosm and valor
is presented which would do credit to any age
and people. Should even meet with moth
ing but reverses in future, the stern heroism
displayed on the bloody field of Shiloh would
be enough to establish Southern prowess for.

curious description of the physique of the
men of that State - 50 za
The Commissioner says that Professor
Henry and himself have been several years
engaged In defining the American man, by
accurate measurements. He presents only
such of these as 60 to describe accurately
the men of Ohio. For this purpose he gives
the measurements of 500 farmers. miners
and laborers in several counties: of $50

general result of these measurements: That
the man of Ohio is FIVE feet nine and one
third inches high. and is taller than any
European nation of which there are meas
uiements. He is taller than the Belgian by
several inches, taller than the English. and
even than the Scotch Highlanders The

start Your Tomatoes.

The following are some very excellent
suggestions on this topic by correspond
eus OF the Ne,O England Farmer: 5s
The tomato is now SO universally relish
ed that it is almost superhuous to urge its
claims. The first aim should be to get early
varieties, and the Yellow Plum is among the
earliest, and the best favored tomato. The
large, smooth red is nearly as early, and is
very good variety. The next important
item is to get them started properly be-
lore the season for planting out, and in this
there is often great failure. The best
method is to plant the seeds in small flower
pots, five or six inches in diameter at the
top. These have an inch or two of coarse
ly broken charcoal placed in the bottom, and
they are then filed with some porous soil;
that taken from an old hot-bed is good, OF
well decomposed muck and sand, with a
little very fine manure, or better still, mix
ture of one-half each of leaf mold and good
sand. and few seeds planted in each pot,
and the pots placed in the windows close to
the glass. When the plants are up strong,
thin them out with pair of scissors as of
ten as there is the least appearance of
crowding, taking care to leave the best plants
until all hut one are cut out, one near the
center Of the pot being preferred. Water
is supplied in sufficient quantity to prevent
any whitening, but do not keep the soil very
wet. The time for planting is usually about
the first of March, but if planted April first,
they will do much better than outdoor
plants. A few of these, for very early fruit,
are planted in a slight hot-bed, late in April,
and when danger from frost is past the
glass is removed. The remainder are plant
ed III open ground as soon as it can safely
be done. The best and most productive
plants last year were planted out in ground
prepared for melons, by blowing into a
strong loan liberal dressing of sand and
manure, and then preparing hills by mix
ing three shovelfuls'o of horse and hog manure
with plenty of sand and loam-the hill
when finished being raised a few inches.
When / wish to remove the plant from the
pot place one hand over the surface, with
the plant of course between the fingers, and
invert it, rapping the pot slightly. A lit
tie exposure to the outdoor air during the
middle of the day, however, for few days
previous to the planting OUTFITS beneficial.
The first fuit which ripens should always
be saved for seed, and if two or more vari-
cites are cultivated they should be planted
as far apart as convenient, il order TO pre-
vent mixing. If,trained on the sunny side
of building or fence, the fruit will be
sweeter as well as earlier. An abundant
supply of sand in the soil also produces a
similar effect. .aa slls s.f.En -
