The public, in their eagerness to supply them
selves with sewing machines making the Gro
yer & Baker stitch, must lot forget to purchase
them of the parties who alone are authorized to
sell them. All purchasers and users of fraudu-
lent machines Of this class will be visited with
certain prosecution. Those who have already
been induced to buy these fraudulent machines
can purchase license for their use, before pros
ecution, on proper application. All machines

THE SABBATH.

We observe movement Is on foot TO Pc
tiiion the Congress OF the Confederate States,
10 abolish Sunday mails. II always appear
ed TO Us as strange Inconsistency that the
Government of the United States, which
professed to be a Christian Nation. should
ha5itually and constantly violate one Of the
distinguishing requirements of the system il
professed. There is no command in the
Christian decalogue more positively enjoln-
ed than tile observance Of the Sabbath.
There i no sin forbidden in the Bible for
which Nations have been more frequently
and terribly seOuraged than TOR the violation
Of the sabbath. There is no command more
luliy sustained BY sound reason and the laws
II physical nature, than the observance OF
one day in seven as day OF rest. There is
none, the observance Of which, more mani
Ie.Iiy fits man lUr his chief end. Hence, il
has ever been matter Of astonishment and
grief TO Christian prope. that the Nation,
protesting Christianity. should yet most fia-
gfantly aud unnecessarily violate IT, And
II il from tliis view Of the ease, regarding our
present National troubles as just punish
mcnt for our sins, that il is proposed 10 pc
tition Congress for discontinuance Of the
sunday mails. Having acknowledged the
God OF the Bible as our God, and having ap-
peaIed TO Him as our judge and almighty
helper in this our struggle--committing to
Him our cause--there ought to BE- CORES
ponding Submission to His requirements.
Nothing is palmer.
Such is the view taken Of the subject by
The Christian people who have undertaken
to bring it before the Congress. II appeals
with the sanction Of every consideration OF
interest, both for time aud eternity, 70 all
our citizens, and especially 60 those who ac-
knowledge the sovereignty Of God over the
affairs Of men and Nations ard We believe
il the effort be made in manner equal to
the Importance Of the subject, i will COM
mand the ready action Of Congress. aud we
shall soon have reason to rejoice in the good
fruits Of obedience TO the only King whom
can ever acknowledge.

beyond contingency, future happiness. Be-
sides, what is true Of individuals, may not
| be true of generation or of nation, for
God visits the iniquities Of !" the fathers up
on the children, Of the third and fourth gen
eration," and no one is likely to know, OF
can know the extent Of the mischief of a SIN
gle act of disobedience, until it shall be ex-
posed by the omniscient Judge, who can
have but one rule of action, and who cannot
vary either in the estimate or judgment ol
the misdeeds Of his creatures. III our lives
are made up, or checkered with violations
Iof his most sacred injunctions, how can we
hope 10 escape the judgments which he has
threatened against these violations. Ii, as
individuals, communities, or anation, we live
in open rebellion,against Him, as regards the
observance of the Sabbath, how foolish, how
preposterous, how mad is it. to rely upon his
favor He may, nevertheless, prosper Us
for the time being but we may most assur-
eddy know that our iniquity will be visited
upon our posterity. Who then would ac-
cept boon, knowing it to have been pur-
chased at the price Of rebellion against the
mighty God?
We, as a people, fatter ourselves that our
cause il favored Of God that He will assur-
edly aid Us in our present struggles against
IA powerful, ambitious aud INSCRIPTIONS foe
that in his providence He will work out for
Us perfect delivefance that He will en-
ploy the winds Of heaven to scatter his
fleets, and that He will even turn the wea-
pons Of our enemies against themselves.
We can then, well afford to observe the Sab
bath, and ali his ordinances, especially when
we are fully informed as to the risks of dis
obedience.
We shall be excused for saying this much
Of one of THE most important institutions Of
the world, when It is recollected that the
goyernmeet Of the United States, in its adj
ministration Of affairs, in the department ol
The Post Office, the Navy and war, the Sab
bath was scarce recognized or known, and
that in times Of war, some of the most i'm
portant battles have been fought on that ho-
In day Who can tell how much Of ill has
come upon that nation, or what untold ills
are in store for it, in consequence Of its hea-
yen-daring dissertation of the Sabbath And
vet we fear that the same feeling Of disre-
gard for it attaches 10 some Of the brave and
gallant defenders of the Conlederacy. 0nly
the other day the lamented Zollicoffer, in
obedience 10 the decision Of a council Of
war. led his brave troops to attack the Fed
erals at Fishing Greek on the Sabbath.
Early in the day he fell. Discontinue and

present war, has clad the nation in mourn

much truth in the argument based upon the
exhaustion of the soil. Still we are far from
being disposed to consider this as fully eg-
planning the principles which are embodied
in this interesting spbject. We must ever
remember. that, whilst we seek truth, we
must not rest upon few fragments, although
they may be in themselves perfectly cor
rect; that in the fui lions Of vegetable life
many principles are involved. Let us prize
eac has we discover them, and await with
patience and preserving industry until we
have gained those that remain. These will
ultimately doye-tail in with those we al
ready know, and render the series complete.
Whilst, therefore, We cannot consider that
the necessity for 5udieious succession of
crops which will favor the fertility in the
land depends wholly upon the exhaustion
Of the mineral ingredients Of the soil, vet
we are fully justified in stating the fact
that it has powerful influence upon the re-
suit, and is worthy Of a very careful consid-
GRAFTON.
In another page of this magazine we have
inserted table, which will give the reader
a clear view of the mineral matter which
our crops contain. As the soil is the only
source from which these materials can be
procured, it will be evident that without a
due consideration Of these facts, we can
not have safe information to guide US, either
as to the best succession Of crops, or en-
able us to compensate the natural defcien-
cy so produced in our soils, by the aid of
manures.
There is a remarkable difference in the
food required by different crops. For ex-
ample, our corn crops take from 65 lbs. to
l4j lbs. of silica per acre, but other crops
from lbs 10 20 lbs, whilst the root crops
make demand upon tie soil for tile aka
lies (pot.sh and soda} far in excess Of that
required by the corn. In like manner, we
observe other equal important and singu-
lar differences IA the demands made upon
the soil. This variation in some measure
explains the adoption of certain rotations,
whereby the crops arc placed in that order
Of succession which Sin distribute the de-
mands as much as possible, instead Of al
lowing them to concentrate too much at any
period Of the course. Ii must mt be sup
posed that the credit arising from the adup-
tion Of our established rotations belongs 10
those who have discovered these principles !;
for such is not the case. Successful practice
having given remuneratlve proof Of success,
led 10 such an established order; afterwards
BY the assistance of scientific investigators
we discovered some of the causes for this
method. Practice showed that TO obtain sue
cess certain crops had 10 be distributed
through the course, and separated from each
other, whilst other crops answered well in
immediate succession. We have so far
drawn sttention 10 the data BY which these
singular facts can be explained, and shall
next more fully elucidaie this most interest
ing branch Of rural economy.
