Gcncrai Rosecrans' Reply 10 Rebel
ISLANDERS.
An anonymous letter having been ad-
dressed TO Gen. Rosecrans, at Wheeling,
charging him with the persecution Of Sc
cessionists in his department, and threat
ening him with rctaliation when "JefT.
Davis comes" he authorizes the editor Of
the Wheeling Press to respond for him Is
follows:
/. The Government is for the good of
the people. and not the people for the
good of the Government.
2. Whenever majority Of the people
have constituiionally chosen 4 form of
Governments and Chief Magistrate, they
have right to enjoy the benefits of that
choice, and every true man, every true
Democrat Of the minority, will cheerfully
submit 70 it, or leave the country.

choice arerolntion il raised, and the PEG.
pie have TO put it down.
4. No man has a right to the benefits
of the peace aud order which have result
ed who wishes the overthrow of this
peace and order.
S. Whatever may be the character OF
the writer, the sentiments expressed in the
anonymous communication are neither
thote of Democrat or s'Seventy-sixer, -
but of eowardly traitor, who borrows
good names, and who Turks among his
neighbors with matches and appliances,
watching the time when their enemies
may give him chance to fire their CITY
and dren,b its streets in blood.
The General expects neither truth nor
justice, much less mercy, from the relent-
less vipers who live in community they
desire to destroy, and in the sacred name
of liberty claim the privilege of insulting,
on the public streets, those who have had
the courage to stand BY their own interests
and their liberties, and defend them
against an iniquitous and unscrupulous
rebellion, which, if successful, would
crush out both State and individual rights,
and establish on their ruins an odious
military despotlsm, based on slavery.

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIzEN.-Joshua Rich
ardson, Esq, died at his residence in this city
Tuesday night in the SSth year of his age.
The deceased was one of our most active
public men. For many years, under the old
town government, he held the office of Sc
lectman, and also represented the town in the
Legislature of the State for some years. When
the City charter was adopted, his name was
prominently brought forward as candidate
for Mayor, and at the first election he received
a large number of votes. There being no
choice effected, he declined before second
election was held. He was the first President
of the Manufacturers & Traders Bank, and
held that office until within few years. His
active business habits continued until he was
past the age of SO years, and he seemed as spry
and energetic az man of sixty. About six
teen months since he was attacked with par
alysis, and since that time has not been out of
his house. But his mind continued strong
until the last moment, when he sank away to
his final rest.

OCT. TERMINATION, j., PRESIDING.
WEDNEsDAY-In the case of Goddard VS..
Gushing ct al, Col. Goddard made the argu-
ment in his own behalf Judge Walton gave
the case to the jury, who retired about II
O'Clock. After being out six hours, they re-
turned a verdict for defendants.
No. 539-Seth Scammon vs.. Leonard An
drews. Assumpsit on note for $500. The
defence is, that it was an accommodation note,
obtained by fraud, and that plaintiff is not the
holder of the note for a valuable considera-
ton. After the evidence was out, the case
was withdrawn from the jury, Detailed, and
continued on report.

No. 450-John Goddard VS.. Peter Dunn.
Assumpsit on account annexed for 1925 for
driving logs on the ST. John river from the
Aroostook river to Fredericton, in 1855. The
specifications of defence are list, That de-
PENDANT is in no way liable to plaintiff as
charged in his account; I'd, that if plaintiff
undertook to drive any logs for defendant it
was done under a special contract between
plaintiff and defendant, containing certain
terms, conditions and stipulations to be per-
formed by plaintiff, which have never been
performed; Sd, that if plaintiff undertook to
drive any logs for defendant, the work was
done SO unskillfully and carelessly that the
logs were scattered and lost, and very few if
any arrived at the place of destination; and
defendant received no benefit whatever, but
sustained great damage. Not finished.

Fall Flowing as one OF the Most Efectual
Means for Thorough PuIverization.

The following remarks upon Fall Flowing
we copy from the "Cuitivator," one of the
most popular agricultural journals in the coun-
try. Farmers all know that their oxen are
usually in better condition in the Fall than in
the Spring, and this is an additional reason for
improving the present season for such work.
The Cultivator says:
After soil has been broken up. It soon COM
mences to run together again, and TO set, very
much as mortar does, which has been made OF
lime and sand; and TO assume solid and al
most organized form. In this process almost
every particle of the soil that has been-plowed
is moved more or less and much OF the soil is
separated and moved several inches from those
parts, with which it has long been in contact.
This operation is effected by rain and sunshine
As matter of course, this change in the po-
sition of the particles of the entire soil, does
much towards securing thorough pulveriza-
ton.
Frost-freezing and thawing of soil, exerts
very important influence in securing the COM
plete pulverization OF all soils. But when
soil has been plowed several months before
the time of frost, it becomes consolidated and
the frost will not exert half the influence, in
its more thorough pulyerization, that it would
were it but recently plowed.
~. WIS icaSob, lhohhS carly III aututiH-
where thorough puyerization is the chief OBJ
ject-will not be rs eieetual as late plowing
or even blowing in the winter. If the rains
and frosts of winter can be in operation, when
a soil is running together, after it has been
plowed, the pulyerization will be more thor
ough and complete than it would be under any
other circumstances. And more than this, the
more complete the pulverization is, the lon
ger that soil will remain mellow and porous !;
and consequently, the greater will be the avail
able amount of iertiZing matter in that soil,
which will promote the growth of crops.
Since the introduction of the "Coulter Har-
row." manufactured by Messrs. GREENIEAF
,& FISHER, at Bath, Fall-plowed land, we are
told, does not need blowing in the Spring.
This Harrow reduces the soil to the greatest
degree of fineness or Communication of parti-
Giles, mechanically breaking up the soidity of
the soil, and most thoroughly and effectually
turning the soil upside down. Farmers would
do well to look to this new improvement in
husbandry, as hard Jumps of earth are of no
more value than the same amount of stones.

The flag of truce boat arrived last evening.
She brought no passengers. Our officers and
guard were not allowed to go on shore at
Aiken's Landing.
Col. Aiken, one of the rebel commissioners,
has been deprived of his commission.
The Richmond Despatch of the 1st inst,
says the movement of the rebel forces indicate
the evacuation of northern Virginia The
Despatch is satisfied that general advance of
the Federal forces is not anticipated, and that
Mcclellan will not risk an engagement.
Winchester had not been evacuated on
Thursday last, and the rebel cavalry pickcts
still hold their old positions north OF Bunker
Hill and east of Charlestown.
Forty prisoners Of war arrived at Richmond
last evening, who were captured last Saturday
in the vincinity of Harpers Ferry.
Seven members Of the AID Mississippi regi-
ment had been imprisoned Tor acting as bogus
city guards of Richmond
The Despatch forsees that Mobile, Charles
ton, and probably Savannah will soon be as
sailed by the naval and land forces of the Lin
coin government. 1t hopes that every south
ern city will permit itself to be converted into
ashes before surrendering to the invaders.

sued to the officers of a splendid vessel to
sail soon from Confederate port. The Sec
ond officer is Col. Chas. Carroll Hicks. The
Richmond Wing says Jackson destroyed the
Baltimore IL Ohio Railroad from North Noun
tain to Sheppardstown.
The rebel Secretary Of War has ordered the
CONSUMPTION to extend to all men not subject
to exemption between eighteen and forty.
The Wing says it cannot be disguised that
the law under which this is done is unpopular,
if not odous, among large class of the peo-
pie.
The Wing also says the captain of the Brit
ish man-ofwar Rinaldo recently approached
New Orleans, assumed hostile attitude, and
demanded the release of an English subject
named James Syme, a druggist, confined in
Fort Pickens, aid indemnity to him in $780,
600. Gen. Butler requested ten days to con-
suit with the Washington authorities, which
was assented to.
The Wing says the sympathies of the cap
tain Of the Rinaldo are warmly with the South.
Gen. Butler, the Wing likewise says, has
issued another Infamous order forbidding the
payment OF debts 10 persons who have not
taken the oath OF allegiance.
