How TO PROPAGATE CURRANTs.-ln order
to raise currant bushes from cuttings, so that
they may have a clean stem and but one set
Of roots, and those at the lower end, like seed
lings, take cutting about ten inches long,
and prepare it in the usual way, by cutting off
the lower end square. | then cut out the buds
or eyes, excepting the three or four uppermost
ones, which are reserved to make the top. !
then stretch a line start the cuttings by its
side, eight inches apart in the row, their ends
one inch in the ground, and mould them up
four or five inches in depth, like corn hills
when planted in drills. When they become
well established by having roots, which will
be in midsummer, level the mould Of earth
back to its former place. Should any roots
have started from the intended stem, clean
them off and plant them out at one year old.
The advantage Of growing bushes in the above
manner is that they will not send up suckers
as those do that have been grown by setting
the cuttings deep in the ground, and allowing
two or more sets Of roots to grow Country

The New Ballad of Lord Love11.

The New Ballad of Lord Lowell.
Lord Lowell he sat in St Charles Hotel.
In st. Charles Hotel sat he
AS fine case of a rebe. swell
as ever you'd wish to see-see-see.
Lord Lowell the town had vowed to defend
A-waying his sword on high;
lie swore that his last ounce of powder he ID spend
And in the last ditch he'd die.
He swore by black and he swore by blue
lie swore by the stars and bars
mat never he'd fly from Yankee crew
While he was a son of Mars.
He had fifty thousand gallant men,
Fifty thousand men had he,
Who had all sworn with him that they'd never sur
rem
Der to any tarnation Yankee
He had forts that no Yankee alive could take,
lie had irOn-clad boats score,
And batteries all around the Lake
And along the river shore.
Sir Farragut came with mighty fleet,
w 18th mighty fleet came he,
And Lord Lowell nstanter began to retreat
Before the first boat he could see
His fifty thousand gallant men
Dwindled down 10 thousands six;
They heard distant cannon, and then
Commenced a-cutting their sticks.
"Oh tarry, Lord Lovell,n Sir Farragut said,
"Oh tarry, Lord Lowell, > said he;
~ rather think not Lord Lowell replied.
"For I'm in great hurry
81 like the drinks at St Charles Hotel.
But never could bear strong Porter,
Especially when it's served in a she'll
UT mixed Ill an iron mortar
81 reckon you're right Sir Farragut said,
81 reckon you're right said he
For II my porter should fly TO your head,
terrible smash there'd be-
Oh! a wonder it was to see them rum
wonderful thing to see
And the Yankees sailed out without shooting gun.
And captured their great cite.
Lord Lowell kept running all day and night
Lord Lowell a-running kept he,
For he swore he couldn't abide the sight
OF the gun OF live Yankee.
When Lord Loyells life was brought to close
BY sharp-shootiug Yankee gunner,
FROM ms head there sprouted red, red nose,
From his 1eet-a Scarlet Runner.

Gov. TOP delivered a very sensible lee
ture to the Legislature recently. The Gov
ernor said:
Senators and Representatives, let NE
take occasion to say this: Be prompt-be
vigilant-be attentive--waste no time on nm
necessary adjournments. Close up your
business as soon as possible and return to
your accustomed avocations."
The Governor hit the nail exactly on the
head. The people want the Legislature to
adjourn. They don't wish to hear any talk
about extra SESSIONS or about the present
session CONTINUING until Mayo june. The
State will DO as well of, Messieurs. Legis-
~lators, if you adjourn two weeks hence, as
though you sat until the warm days of Sum-
mer drove you from the hot brick walls Of
Columbus to your rural homes. Besides,
think ofthe anguish with which your dearly
beloved constituents regard your long alb
sence.
By all means, gentlemen, finish up the
business Of Legislation within a month hence,
and then skedaddle for your respective so
cal habitations."

Senator Wade's Caluminators.

lrfoi Wc uhuuelpHih TrcssJ
We learn from Ohio that a silly story has
been in circulation through many parts Of
that State in relation to the Hon. Benjamin
Wade. His enemies declare that, as chair
man of the Committee on the Conduct of
the War, he has been antagonizing the
President in his management of the cam
paign, and opposing the measures of the
new Secretary Of War. The effect Of this
story, if believed, will be mischievous. The
President is adored in Ohio, and Mr.. Stan
ton, q citizen of that State, has thousands
Of warm friends who would be eager to re-
sent any attempt to interfere with him as an
officer Of the Government.
We sllude to these stories with an ex-
preston OF surprise that any sensible man
in Ohio, with Mr.. Wade's record before
him, should for a moment believe them.
We know that there is no truth in the as
sertion that any disagreement exists between
the Senator and the Administration. No
man has been more warmly attached to the
Government than Benjamin Wade. He has
been constantly in consultation with the
President, and enjoys the utmost confidence
of the Secretary Of War. As chairman Of
the Committee on the Conduct of the War,
he has thrown all his influence into the
hands of the Executive. All his energy and
boldness Of character, all his great intellect
aud experience, have been unselishly given
to our cause. The Government has no ablor
and more ardent friend, and the loyal rep
r~esentatiyes Of Ohio can do no more grateful
and acceptable act to the Administration
and the country than ~re-elect him to the
Senate.

Rumored Death of Floyd.

IL is stated, BY reliable gentlemen from
Fort Donelson and Cairo, that it is the gen
eral opinion among the rebel prisoner that
Gen. John b. Floyd was killed the night
he 40 ingloriously fed from Fort Donelson.
The report says that there was great excite
ment at the time the troops under Floyd
and Pillow were attempting to embark on
the steamers, and . fearful scrambling ~
to who should get aboard and escape, as
transportation was insufficient. Floyd stood
in person stths gangway Of one Of the boats,
and, with . drawn sword, beat of the troops,
permitting his fsyorites to get aboard. A
Lieutenant approaching Floyd, made an
effort 10 gstsbssrd, when he was ordered
Of by the General. The Lieutenant cou-
tinued 70 advance, when Floyd struck him
on the shoulder With his sword, infictiug o

We would also suggest to the Legislature
chat ar early adjournment will very materi-
ally lessen the burdens Of taxation.
Since writing tho above, we learn that
the House has passed a resolution, offered
by Mr.. Keck, of Hamilton county, referring
the whole subject Of retrencbment by means
of local taxation, and salaries, to a Select
Committee, consisting Of Messrs, Keck, Of
Hamilton, West Of Logan, Smith, of Gin
ton, Smythe, of Licking, Hills, of Medina.
REILLY, Of Colunbiana, and Harsh, of Car
roll-all eIcellen, men. We learn that this
Committee will Immediately take under ad.
yisemont the important subject upon which
it has been appointed, and will present well
considered measures Ivy which the various
conflicting resolutions and bills proposed
may be harmonized, and something may be
done which will not be a temporary expe.
dent but may become a settled policy fol
saving the people, money. This comes ut
exactly to what we have been trying tc
urge upon the Legislature in the above ar
ticle.

TARDY PATRIOTISM IN BALTIMORE

TARDY PATRIOTISM IN BALTIMORE

visit to the proprietors ofthe Baltimore Sun
which paper, with former Southern pro-
olivities, has latterly observed q sullen silence
in political matters-and reminded them
hat the American flag was not visible in or
around their establishment. After a brief
interval the omission was rectifed. The pro-
prietor ofbefnum's Hotel, another South.

called TO the same defect noticeable about
his premises, with an equal happy effect. -

The Editor Of the Clarksburg Wal Tel
egrsph pays the following high compliments
to President Lincoln and Secretary Seward:
We have at the head Of our nation a man
who in opr opinion possesses the requisite
qualifications for the position ne occupies,
and will conduct matters in the right channel
ii in his power, and we believe that he has
the resources within himself to give him
the power. Like many other men who have
appeared on the stage in great emergencies.
he does not come to astonish and confound
by the prestige Of his former achievements.
but to act his part efficiently on the present
occasion. He evinces all the firmness and
energy necessary to WELD the vast aud com
plicated machinery now placed at bis dis
posal. lie also has shown himself q faith
tul guardian of the Constitution, raising
himself entirely above all party considera-
tons, and laboring for the equal rights of
all. Notwithstanding he was elected by a
party the principles Of which we cannot en-
dorso, and holds to some political doctrines
on the slavery question, to which we cannot
subscribe yet we must do him the Justice
to say that he administers this great Gov
eminent, without exhibiting any feeling Of
sectional Partially, and without conceding
to any party %prejudices. He seized the
holm of the. ship of State when il was al
most a wreck-when it appeared terribly
threatened by the breakers of corruption
and the black waves of treason. From
present indications, the good old vessel will
soon be moored in 4 safe .harbor with all her
rigging refttcd, and be as seawoIthy as ever
more so because she will then have prov
ed that she is capable oil ~weathering the
most severe storms.
But MIR. Lincoln has q faithful aid in the
talented head of the State department,
Hon. w. Ii. Seward. He has shown him
self capable of managing the most difficult
questions Of diplomacy with an ease and
tact that we never see surpassed and rarely
equalled. While it has been apparent that
the British Government has sought every
possible pretext to create difficulties with
ours during the convulsed state Of our do.
nestle affairs, he has most adroitly warded
off the threatened trouble, and that too
without any sacrifice of the nations honor
or dignity. We had been taught to regard
MIR. Seward as q shrewd politician, but we
have been most agreeably disappointed in
finding that he possesses those exalted
abilities that Pre-. eminently entitle him tc
be placed in the front rlnks Of our states.
men. While the internal struggle in thi,
great nation has assumed o violence un.
known to tho history Of tho past, he hs.
carefully guarded 1t against the danger OF
outside collision. He is also a man for the
emergency.

THE SUPPER AT BELLAIRE.- The La
dies Union id-Society Supper at Bellaire
last night was a very good thing in its way.
A large party of ladies and gentlemen went
down from this city on a special train, among
them the Governor and lady, Gems. Rose
Grams, Denver and Schenck, and most of the
military officers now in the city.
The Belmont House, where the supper
was served was crowded to repletion. Ev-
cry room, passage, and stairway was q per-
feet jam. The supper itself was abundant,
50 was the noise SO was the good humor (;
so was crinoline; so was everything except
space, and there was plenty of that too, only
it wasn't in the right place for it was all
out of doors instead Of being in the dining
hall where it should have been. And al
though very nearly squeezed to death two
or three times, we are not sure yet where
the fault was, (f it was a fault)--whether
the hoops were too wide or the room too
narrow.
The table was handsomely and bountiful-
ly supplied, and was a real credit to the pa
triotic ladies who prepared it. We were glad
to see that considerable quantities of lucre
found their way into the treasury Of the
soldiers fund.
The supper would have been a very pleas
ant affair, if there had been sufficient room
to enjoy it, as unfortunately there was not.
Previous to the supper, Generals Rose
Denver and Schenck, Gov. Peirpoint,
and other distinguished gentlemen, were
very handsomely entertained at tho House
Of Col. Thomas III. Morris, the hospitable
agent Of the Central Ohio Railroad.
Some very good music was furnished by
the Bellaire Brass Band, and added its en-
livening influence to the occasion. - Vince

The Union "Stin Lives" Down South

The Memphis Avalanche makes clean

shocking pulgarity to be patriots; and In

have been organizing into bands, prowling

Various causes for this infatuation ofths

by the Avalanoho and its fellow mourners.
