on this question we must consider tina,
the roots are the lar est, and, for manur-
ing, the best part Of the crop. In view
ofthis fact, Incline strongly to the opin
ion that moving or feeding off the first
crop and turning in the second is the
better course; especially do | believe it
10 be so on light sandy soils. On such
soil l cannot but think the fermentation,
occasioned by turning in large green
crop in the heat of summer, CAUSES much
of the fertilizing value of the clover to
escape in the air and be lost. II were
now farming for myself, instead Of advi-
sing another, would certainly save the
first crop of CLOVER, either as summer
feed or as hay. Itmay be that on ten
acious soils the opposite course is as well
though l do not believe it is, and / am
quite sure it cannot be well on light san
dy soils. | confess here TO feeling on
the subject, which may have unduly bia-
sed my judgement. I have often turned
under splendid crops of clover in June
or early in July; but l never could dot

it was sort of dissertation of a sweet,

land is as much benefited by the summer

ton of the old practicc.--T Country Gen.

The Rev. Mir.

Rev. Joseph Vinton's lecture was postponed from last week. on account of the storm, to this Thursday evening. We trust there will be a numerous audience. -
 "A DIAMOND wzDpIsa."-Mr. and Mrs. Jona- than Buel celebrated the Sixtieth Anniversary of their marriage, on Saturday last (Feb, Sth) at their residence on South. street. The worthy and respected couple-he in his S7th year-she in her s6th,-both in the enjoyment of excellent |health-wsleomed back their scattered house hold, and received the cordial congratulations and good wishes of numerous friends. Of their seven children, three daughters-whoa alone sur viss-wsre present; also, ,tffteen oftheir grand children, and three of their great-grand-ehil- dren.
 Among the tokens of affection and respect, were . silver pitcher and goblets of elegant work manship, and suitably inscribed.
 After brief remarks by Rev. Mr. Richards, who also invoked the divine blessing upon the board, ample justice was done to a bountiful re- past, after which thanks were returned by Rev. MT. Vinton. Among the guests, were Capt. Salmon Buel, the Patriarch of our town, in his 95th year, but fresh and hardy; the widow of Rev. Truman Marsh, in her 9Oth year, her eyes sparkling with sprightlinsss and vivaeity; Hon. Seth r. Beers and wife; Judge Seymour and wife; Dr. Henry W. Busl and wife; end other kindred end friends, too numerous to specify. - The occasion was one which occurs in the sxps- rienee of but few, and the memory of it will long be transmitted by the young who were privileged to be present R.

The Sinews of War.

The condition of the Country at the present time reminds us of the predicament of the poor Frenchman, who, having resolved upon the death of his rival, pawned his clothes and even his meerschaum, to raise money wherewith to pur- chase deadly weapon. He bought the very best pistol for sale in Paris, but then discovered to his dismay that he had not a sou left to buy powder and shoti With versatility truly French, he debated but a moment. and then cooly walked to the Seine and drowned himselfl
 The counterpart to this story has been played by Congress since our last issue. We had spent vast sums raised on an unimpaired credit in get. ting ready to "crush the rebels" Tho banks had taken issue after issue of bonds, on the assu- rance that everything is ready for active opera tions-give us lille more money to oil the wheels" At last the banks had disgorged their last red; capitalists at home were drained, and abroad grown shy; the army was all ready, and the army all equipped, and every wagon, ship gunboat, soldier, sailor, and horse in the service were about to 1" On to Richmond l" when To the vast machine is motionless, and once more we hear the piteous cry issuing from the sepulchra depths of an empty treasury" Only little more money,-just to oil tue wheels." The patriotic impulses of the Lower House are aroused. Mem. bers pick their teeth at eight dollars day, and make speeches. They adjourn over week al eight dollars day, and prepare speeches. They come together again and smoke at eight dollars day and listen to speeches. They resolve at eight dollars day that all Government officers srcspf Aemse'ces are too well paid. And finally when their own applications for their allotted eight dollars day, are met at the exchequer with the reply "no funds!'' they become alarmed, hold long session, come to vote, and decide to make frrsdeemabie i'aqer q legal teneler! Without protesting an intimate knowledge of the Science of Political Economy or of the particular neccs. sities of the Government it seems to us that the failure to provide for specie payment of the in terest aecruing on the bonds about to be issued is a decided misstep. Without such provision the notss cease to possess the value they repre- sent, their payment to prevent creditors in an ac of injustice, and to future creditors involves species of discount sure tobe amply compensate' by . rise of prices. And the issue of so large al amount as one hundred and fifty millions as cur reney. and five hundred millions in bonds, vii seem to foreign powers as if We had no expects sion to crush the rebellion speedily, and so invite intericrence.
 We believe in Jim Lane's method of carrying on wal, " Make the enemy pay for the powder yoa waste on thcm." He considers himself as ir some sort vested with an Apostolic commission of@Power and authority over all devils,' and pro posss accordingly to "takc nothing for the jour ney, neither slaves nor scrip neither bread, ncith CT money; asi,her have two coats apiece.''

LiGlat at Last !

The events of the past week have moro thai fulfilled the hopes of those who have been lon, anxiously waiting for change from the seem ing inactivity of our armies to grand and com tinad movement The intelligence which flash cd along the wires on Friday last, and which rladdened the country, as it chronicled the sec, ond onward march upon the strong holds of the rebellion in Tennessee, seems to be the first of a series of onward movements which shall follow each other in rapid succession during the next four weeks, until the back-bon of the rebellion is broken.
 The Burnside Expedition too, which through much tribulation of storm and distress, has at last accounts found, if not friendly harbor, one in which it can make it's mark and do its work, in seizing one of the rebel strong holds, and forcing its way into the interior of the ene- myis country, scattering terror and destruction so the rebel hordes.
 Every day now brings us news of important advances and important advantages gained by the loyal troops. The skies seem to brighten, and the sun shines more cheerily than it has be- fore for many weeks. Pray Heaven the armies may be successful in their onward march, and ere the anniversary of the fall of Sumter comes, we shall have the rebellion within our grasp, and the last breath of the monster shall be breathed away.
 We cannot resist adding also, that our hope' in fresh impulse to the war are greatly increased by the energy, ability, and stern determination the new Secretary of War has shown in his brie tenure of office. The arrest of Gen. Stone whom the country has always held responsible for the fatal disaster at Balls Bluff, is an evi dence that the Secretary means to do his whol' duty. The orders to the departments of thu West which have emanated from the War Office and the stirring bulletin issued to the officer and soldiers after the gallant engagement a Mill Spring, plainly shows the stuff tho ne' Secretary is made of and augurs well for tn success of the movements which are to be mad under his direction and control.
 Therefore, let us rejoice and take courage that we see light at last, and, let us hope, the beginning of the end.
