Mystery Solved-Farmers take
Notice.

For many years the people Of Mich
igan, and in fact the Union, have beer
kept i'll perplexing suspense in relation
to great mystery within the possess
ion Of farmer residing at Pawpaw
but which from pecuniary reasons he
saw fit to withhold from the public -
but having become satisfied, as has an
other eminent Michigander. that Gre
publics are ungrateful," he has philan.
thropicai,y given his great secret thro'
the kalamazoo Gdxette, to his Agricul
tural brethren Of the Union.
The First Thursday IN March, the
first Thursday in June, the first Thurs
dav in September, and the first Thurs
day in December, are the governing
days for each season. Whatever point
of compass the wind indicates on those
days, that will be the prevailing poin,
for that season on the opposite will
be the mitigating or shifting point for
the same season.
Hoao to find the .aa1ns6er Of storms
for each season.--If it storms on the
first Thursday, or any subsequent
Thursday, count the remaining days OF
the month, which is calendar part OF
the calculation. Add to this the num-
ber Of days to come Of the moon,-
which will give you the number OF
storms to that season, or three months.
For example: If it should storm the
ti,st Thursday in March, and that was
the third day Of the month, there
would remain twenty-eight days in that
month. If we had new moon On that
day that would give twenty eight days
more. which added to the above would
make fitty-six, the number Of changes
for that season. Such was this spring.
If it should storm on the first day OF
June next we must have wet sum
mer, as there will be new moon on
that day.
You have nothing to do with what
is passed Of the month, or what is pass
ed Of the moon, but add together what
IS to come of both.
When the first storm comes, after
the first Thursday in the season, that
will be the basis of calculation for the
number of storms for that season. For
example: If wind should come On the
first Thursday in December, and that
should be a snowy DAY, sleighing will
be plenty that winter. Knowing the
wind will be most of the time n ". or
S. E, it is plain we cannot have pcrIna-
nent sleighing, because snow canno.
stand before these southerly winds as
was the last winter.
The whole secret lies in ascertaining
the prevailing point Of the wind on the
first Thursday in each season, as that
will locate the wind for that season.
Strange as this may appear, it is true.

REM1N1sCENCE OF THE EARLY DAYS
OF SECESSION. Forney writes
from Washington to the Philadelphia
Press:
When the news Of tie secession Of
South Carolina reached Washington
city, it was greeted with dellrious JOY
by brilliant evening party assembled
at the residence of Jefferson Davis
a distinguished officer OF the navy,
who had been in the habit Of visiting
Senator Davis and lady, dropped in
during the evening, and was informed
Of the event which had excited so
much qualification And when he man
ifested no pleasure at the announce
ment, he was informed by Davis that
there was no time for delay, and that
If be accepted service in the rebel
ranks he would, in course Of time, be
made an admiral. "Stick to me, my
friend" said Davis TO the gallant sea-
man, "and l will make your fortune
In short time all the cotton States
will be out of the Union, and these will
be followed by the border States, thus
constituting a great, independent and
hourlshing empire" Finding him OBJ
durats to such appeals, one of the Ia
dies of the coterie approached him
"Why," she asked, 'should you fa7ter
now? Why not take the advice of
General Davis 3? The secession Of
South Carolina is but the beginning of
a revolution Tong prepared for. We
have everything arranged. Not only
will the Southern States be ours, but
IN a short period we will establish in
that region mighty monarchy, and
with the aid of foreign powers, and our
own bravery and inexhaustable resour-
ces, will take possession of Central
America and Mexico, buy or take Gu,
ba from Spain, and add to our domin-
ions such of the West India Islands as
we may desire. Give up your rever
ence for the mere symbol of flag
Take sides with US against the vulgar
northern hordes, and SO accomplish the
future that is in store for you" AS he
left the house, indignant at these bold
declarations of those who had been
tostered and protected by the Govern
ment, the lady politician entered her
carriage to convey the thrilling intalli-
gence of the treason Of South Carroll
ma to the friend and ally of the secess
ionists, Jas. Buchanan.

The following is one Incident

The following is one Incident
among many hundred illustrating the
character Of the fight at Pittsburg:
''On Sunday one of the Generals
from whom l heard the incident, no.
tieed a middle-aged man without hat
or coat, who, behind the shelter of a
tree, was loading and firing apparently
with as much GOODNESS as if he were
shooting squirrels in lieu of 's>ecesh." :"
He had evidently seeded from his
company and regiment if he ever be-
longed to one, and was fighting on his
own account. Ny informant saw him
raise his rifle, take deliberate aim and
fire, and then watch eagerly the result.
It successful in bringing down one of
the enemy he, with piece of chalk
which he carried in his vest pocket,
marked one on his cartridg box
Three times the General saw him dis
charge his unerring rifle with the same
result, and each time the modern
Misunderstanding endorsed one on his
account. A moment after shell struck
the tfee, crashing through Tue trunk
and instantly killing the collected and
unerring rifeman. The following Tues
day when the dead were being burie /
his body was found, one hand still
grasping his fatal rife, and his car
tridge-box on which five chalk marks
were visible, by his side. He is inter
red at the foot OF the tree in name
less grave, and bis rifle which was the
messenger Of death to Eve enemies of
our country on that memorable Sun
day, now hangs in the tent Of one Of
our distinguished Generals, as me
mento Of the battle Of Shiloh"

Stand by the President---No fiinching now.

President Lincoln has done good many
noble deeds, and shown himself possessed of
firmness and determination equalled only By
that singleness of heart and incoiruptible
honesty which even his candid opponents
seem willing to accord to him: but he has
done nothing that will meet with a more cor
dial response from the great mass of the loyal
people of the loyal States, than the issuing of
his proclamation which we gave to our read
crs in yesterdays Press. 1t is firm and yet
cautious; determined and yet liberal positive
and yet kind; giving assurance of certain re-
suits, but aflectionately inviting our rebeous
brethren to avert the effect of those results
upon themselves by prompt return to their
allegiance.
The President, in brief, has issued his Proc
lamation of Emancipation, to apply only TO
the rebel States, and to take effect on the first
OF january next. Ii the rebel States will
cease their rebellion, and return to allegiance
and duty, the emancipation of their slaves
may be ayerted, but so surely as they continue
TO rebel and to seek the overthrow of this
government and the subversion of the Consti-
tuition, so surely, as Commander-n-Chefo of
the Army and Navy, and by virtue of the war
power vested in him, the President will bring
the full force of that army and navy to bear
upon the slave institution so far as it is in rebel
hands, and crush it with the mighty enginery
OF the government. And he will do this on no
merely sentimental grounds, and for no senti-
mental reasons; but he will do it to strike re-
bellion in its most vulnerable point, and to
break down that pillar of support which the
rebel government finds in its seryile popula-
ton. 1t is gratifying to know that while he
VIII thus act upon the soundest principles Of
practical economy, he will also be acting in
harmony with the truest instincts of the hu-
man heart, and in accordance with the better
sentiments of all civilized communities
To all this we give our hearty and unre-
served support. The people will do the same.
Those who have opposed Congressional action
upon the subject of slavery, have contended
for and defended the Var Pouer, and insisted
upon the Presidents right, under that power.
to strike off the last fetter, il, in his Judgment,
he being sole judge of the necessity, such
