hang some rebel guerilas whom he had cap

swing them up.

GEN. MlrcHELs OPERATIONS IL ALABA-
MA.-Accordng to the following statements,
which we find in the Cleveland Hra'd, Gen
Mitchell finds his troops as handy in Alabama
as the Yankee soldiers were in Maryland in
the early period of the war;
" Mr. j. ii. Clark of this city has just re-
turned from Huntyille, Ala, which place he
left on Monday of last week. The account
Mr. Clark brings Of affairs in Alabama is dis
tressing. There is not an acre OF cotton
planted where last year there were one humid
red the wheat crop in Alabama aud other
cotton States has been ruined by rust, which
struck il when in the blow, and the corn on
the ground looks miserable. There are not
provisions enough left in Alabama to last six
weeks.
General Mitchell has filed the rebels with
apprehension; be moves his troops with such
rapidity from point to point to strike ter
ror to the foe. lie has been running that
part OF the Memphis aud Charleston Railroad
in his ossession--abou: ono hundred and
twenty miles--wih soldiers for conductors, en-
gineers, fremea and Lrakemen and his sol.
diers are even building cara His energy
has been worth to him at least double the
,number OF troops ho has. General Mitchell
has captured cotton enodgh to pay running
expenses OF his road for six months. some
Of that cotton Is passing through Cleveland.

DEEP PLoUGHINd.-There are certain
writer's here who still urge Farmers to
plough deeper. We see chat nine inches
is considered better depth for corn than
six or seven inches through they bring no
evidence TO show that more corn per acre
can be grown by poughing to this greath
depth than when the furrow slice is but
six or seven inches thick.
The objections to these deep burrows
are numerous. In the first place the cost
of ploughing is nearly double. In the
second place the soil must have a double
quantity of manure. Thirdly the soil
turned up deep is cold and unfit for corn.
Fourthly the corn will not come forward
so early in deep ploughing as in more shall.
low ploughing, and Of course will be more
exposed to frost in the fall.
1t is generally agreed that Farmers
have no manure to spare. Then why urge
them to make use of double quantity for
each acre
Roots of all kind may yield better for
deep ploughing They often suffer for
want of moisture. But corn requires h at
and seldom suffers for want of rain when
the soil is properly stirred.
Corn roots run near the surface, and hot
summers are always best for this plant.
Should you turn the soil to foot in
depth and make the whole as rich as we
usually do to half that depth, the roots
would incline to go down as deep as the
manure.
OF course the corn stalks would hold
their greeness to later period than when
the soil and the manure arc but six inches
deep, while that one more shallow and
warm furrows would escape.

How TO Sow.-Look at the field Of
wheat. You can see every sweep of the
sewers hand. What is the reason? He
lets bis hand fall down after leaving the
seed bag or hopper, instead of raising it
before throwing the seed. It's the great
fault in sowing. Raise your hand up level
with your head, or nearly, before throwing
the seed, and then it will be scattered
evenly. In sowing clover or other smal
9eds, this it very important.
