Two men, Elliott and Winkle, had prize
fight in New Jersey on Monday. The
Tribune says:
About one hundred and fifty persons
we're present yesterday morning ct the ap
pointed spot, near Weehswken, and there
we're many delays before the men could
agree on referees, umpires, SC. A good
ring was made, and at last, at 9I5 A. NJ
the combatants entered the ring. Both
were in very good condition, having been
in active training for some time past. FL
lott was seconded by John Woods and
William Clarke, while Johnny Roach and
Kit Burns oficiated' for Winkle. Johnny
Monaghan was umpire for Winkle, Con
Foley was umpire for Elliott, and the re-
feree was q man named Waters.
The men fought two hours and ten min.
utes, and so light was the hitting that
neither man had q bad black eye, and in
fact the affair was more like q sparring
match than q fight. For seventy four
rounds they stood up, but neither their
own love of the manly sport" nor the
jeers Of their friends, could persua le them
to much severe lighting. Elliott was de.
olared to have drawn first blood, and first
knook-doEn. Winkls kept going down,
and Elliott kept striking him when he was
down, so that for seven consecutive rounds
Wrinkles friends claimed four' on &C
count Of their man being unfairly hit
The referee said fight on, however, and
at last it was declared to be 6 drawn
battle.
1t wasn't much of fight sfter all, and
had the police been present, they would
hardly have been justified in interfering
for the blows we're so light, and the de-
meanor Of both men so timid, that no maj
could conscientiously depOse that the peao'
was being broken.

STR; I enclose you a letter of instruc.
tions 10 Gen. Stevens, commanding the ID
Brigade Of this Division, of Dec. Both. The
simple object Of this dash was to destroy
the batteries which the enemy appeared to
have erected on the CoossW River for the
obstruction Of the navigation and the pas
sage of that stream, and also to punish him
for the insult in firing into the steamer
Mary Glover, on her recent passage
through that stream TO sound the depth Of
the channel. The affair succeeded perfect
ly, and the enemy we're drawn out OF their
entertainments, their batteries demolished,
and the property found there brought
away or destroyed with little or no loss Of
life on our side.
After the object Of the Expedition was
executed, Gen. Stevens returned to Port
Royal Island. As soon as his report
reaches US it will be for rEarded.

Horace GreeIe,'- Lecture in Washington.

Horace Greeiey'E Lecture in Washington.
Correspondence N. Y Times
With the Northern army, the lecture
system has also invaded the Capital, and
has already become so thoroughly acclima-
ted as 10 flourish vigorously. Several of
the most radical of the Northern anti slaV-
cry men have leotured acceptsbly TO large
audiences, bringing warm responses for
their sentiments, and full eXeheauer to
the association. The lecturer last evening
was HoraceGreeley-the subject "Nstions" "
Il is hardly worth while to say that the
Philosopher handled his theme by the anti
slavery tactics-but it will sound stranger
fer me to say that the broader the distinc-
tions be drew between slavery and free
dom, the more decidedly he proclaimed
that the war could not succeed until the
Administration looked the beIligerents in
the eye, ard said, "tbey are slave propa-
gandists-not rebels" the more warm and
spontaneous was the applause. Il was q
hearty outburst that seconded his oitstion
of Andy Johnson's declaration, that rebels
have no right to own anything, and an
avalanche, loud, prolonged and overpOWer-
ing that welcomed the incidental mention
Of the name Of Fremont. On the platform
with the lecturer were President Lincoln,
Secretary Chase, Senator'S Wilson, Hale and
King; and in front we're goOdly numbers
Of Congressman and civic mRgnates and
army officers Of distinction. Their pres
ence gave q peculiar significance 10 the
applause Of the people. Being an audience
Of representative men-for they probably
had their homes in every Northern State
-the clapping hands seemed always to be
saying Amen to the sentiments Of the
speaker, and eGo thou and thihk likewise
to those who listened.

thy TitcOmb," and probably Wendell Phil.

Some farmers have learned, aud others are

profitable branches Of their business. NO

beautiful shade trees.
The effect upon the health j. another rea-
son why trees should be cultivated. Every
day. fruit Of some kind should form part ot
the lood sc eat. Let every one WIN owns
lot of ground, plant one or more trees this
Spring. For apple and pear trees, strong
snii, naturally moist, and rather rocky, is Ia
yorabIe. but the peach does best upon .
warm, sandy bottom.

WHITE CLOVER.
w. C. KERR.
Davidson College.
Marietta, Ga, March Sd, 1862.

Dear Sir:-I have noticed al times in the
Field and Fireside, directions for planting
clover, grasses &c.,--and would be glad il
through letter or the columns of your yaIua-
bic weekly you would give me some infor-
enation in regard to the planting and prepar-
ing ground for White Glover. The place |
desire to sow is a piece of red land pretty
thickly covered with sandstone pebbles. and
shaded by grove Of young Chestnut and
Oaks; the soil does not contain much lime
What do you consider the best season foi
plantingf
BY giving the foregoing your attention you
would much oblige, Yours truly,
]. w. BOWIE.
The present time is seasonable for sowing
or planting White Clover. seed. Plow the
ground thoroughly. and smooth down the
ridges made by the pillow with harrow, or
by drawing bunch of little trees over it, as
a bush harrow, before the seed is sown. II
your white clover seed is in the chaff, scat
ter il evenly from the.hand. If the seed IS
clean, take good pinch between the thumb
and two fingers and SOW not all out at once,
but by several short casts Of the arm and
hand. Never sow fine seed in a hurry, for
they will be very unevenly distributed. 1t
is not important TO have white clover seed
scattered abundantly over the gound as the
plant sends out runners like the strawberry,
and will soon cover the surface if the soil
is congenial. Pass the brush over the seed
when sown, or light harrow, and keep
all stock from the ground during the FIRST
year.
H our cnrresrunienf we're to visit YER
mont, as we have done, TO study the agrIcuf-
tural plants from those who produce 50 ma
ny fine Morgan horses, superior Spanish and
French merino sheep, the excellent beet cat
lie sent 10 Brighton market, near Boston,
and the delicious butter so largely exported
from the Green Mountain State, he would
find WHITE GLOVER the fayorite pas
ture grass, and the basis OF all this agricul-
tural success. During our residence IN
Washington city We met in the market there
a farmer selling many glass boxes q beauil-
ful honey and on inquiry, We found that ms
annual crop Of honey was worth over one
thousand dollars, and was obtained from the
blossoms Of white clover 10 the state OF Yer
mont. On another occasion, while taking
breakfast with Gov. Gilmer, in Lexington
Ga, we noticed on his table butter oil an ex'
ira quality, and asked TO see the pasture
and plants that gave the fine aroma 10 tn
butter. These we're shown 10 Us by gen
ileman, now no more, whom we shall Away
remember with esteem; and white cloyel
and Bermuda were the grazing plants OF hl'
COWS.
