movements of each other, until at length
the enemy becoming exceedingly restless,
and showing signs of hostility, the 9th al

then gave them a volley from their car

by the rebels, after which they galloped
off to their original position. No one was

''WHAT ROTATION SHALL WE ADOPT

This question cannot be definitely ans
wered Much depends upon the charac-
ter OF the soil and climate, and on the
crop which it is considered important to
raise.
Where wheat is the principal object.
the system of rotation should have special
reference to the preparation, cleaning and
enrichment of the ground for this crop
On the heavy clay soils, it is difficult to
dispense with the use of the summer fall
low IN cleaning and preparing the soil for
wheat-at least for any length of time
On naturally rich soil, that has been down
IN grass for years. corn, followed by bar
iey and then wheat, is profitable rotation
for the time being. But all these crops
are cereals-all believed to require the
same general character of plant food
Corn-barley-wheat, therefore, must be
regarded as an exhausting system of rota-
ton. 1t Is directly contrary to the old
English maxim, Never two white crops
IN succession
Corn-oats-wheati is a common rota-
ton IN some sections of Pennsylvania, but
this is open to some objection Corn
peas-wheat would be far better The
peas if heavy crop, would smother the
weeds, and they are off in time to allow
VI inc pfouiid oeinS put IN good condition
for the wheat. If the summer and early
autumn, however, are very dry, there is
danger of the seed wheat not terminating
on the pea land, from lack Of MOISTURE
The advantage of the peas over oats anl
barley consists in their enriching quail
ties as compared with these crops To
get the full benefit of the crop Of peas,
however, it is necessary to use them on
the farm
Perhaps n better rotation would be,
as before with sod land
eas-wheat-cloyer two years, and then
wheat again seeded With clover Genesee

Democracy and Secession.

The following is from the Frankfort,
(Ky) Commonwealth; and will not proba-
bly, appear in any of the Northern Demo
cratic secession journals
" A rose, If called by any other name,
would smell just as sweet" That's true
And it is equally true that !Seces sion, if
called by any other name, would stink
Just as bad The little proposition is re-
ceiving hourly its practical demonstration
The most rabid, the most jubilant, the
most ultra secessionists are now calling
themselves " the Democracy" and under
that once respectable name are promising
to do wonders for the country. In Ken
lucky, they proclaim their intention of
alaving themselves with . the uprising of
the conservative Democratic party of the
Northern States to put down the Abo-
litionists. That does very we'll Bat dc
they say anyt.. ing about joining the Union
men of the South and Of the North, who
are trying to put down the rebellion as the
first step towards saving the Constitution?
They have not one word to say on the
subject The trick is TOO shallow 20 de-
ceive even a fool

SENSIBLE PROPOSITIONS. = For a more
vigorous prosecution of the war, and its
early ard successful termination, the
Nashville Union advocates
1st The immediate increase of our ar
my to one million or more if necessary,
so that we can rain regiments upon rebel

tates Of rich rebels at the disposal of the

The Case of Col. Paine.

In another column we give the state
ment of Rev. A. c. Barry, Chaplain of the
18th Wisconsin, Col Paine's regiment, re
lating to the affair which led to the arrest
Of the Colonel. Mr. Barry is well known
to many OF our citizens, and his statement
may be relied upon as correct. 1t is a
most shameful history, but we have no
doubt is true picture of scenes that are
transpiriug almost daily, so far as relates
to the treatment Of negroes who are driv-
en- from our lines after giving to federal
officers important information that could
be obtained from no other source. We
know nothing of Gen Williams, by whose
order the negroes We're first given up, and
who put Colonel Paine under arrest for
refusing to surrender them a second time.
but we infer from his course that he ia
one of those officers who thinks more of
slavery than Of his country, and who is
determined that That peculiar institution
shall rem lin uninilred lct what will be-
come of the Government We feel proud
that Wisconsin has officers in the field
who have moro love for their Government
than for the interests of the Shareholder
men who prefer to obey the acts of
Congress and the common dictates of hu-
mainly, rather than the orders of slave
hunters or those in their interests. Col
Paines entire regiment approved his
course and every loyal son of Wisconsin
viii rejoice that he had the firmness to do
rs he did
Wisconsin has sent no soldiers to the
field to run off negroes from the South,
nor to drive them back into bondage, af-
ter they have proved themselves useful in
giving information to our officers. The
time is not far distant when such orders
rs lIalleck's order No 3 and Gen. Will
Jams order No. 46 will become dead
letter, if they DO not cause the cheek Of
their authors to burn with shame.

JOHN PoPE, Maj Gen. Com
A DEMOCRATIC I .IBuTE TO The PRESIDENT

Col Forney IN letter to Washington,
says Of Lincoln:
In the midst of conflicts of opinion it is
marvellous how firmly the President has
held his way. Coming into high Office
under the someH hat general mlsaprenen-
sion that he was the embodiment OF a
mere party, and that he was committed
to contracted policy }rcm which he
could not and dared not release himself,
he has unquestionably displayed some OF
the rarest and nob!est qualities of ~ re-
hectlng and mo unanimous ruler. He has
been most successful in preserving his
own dignity and his own power although
he IS surrounded by disputes and rival
RES. Attaching to Lis administration h s
political supporters, he has invited and
secured the allegiance Of hundreds ard
thousands Of those who had voted against
him
The bitter controversy IN regard to the
heads of the various columns of our great
army did not sway him to the right or
left If he modified Fremonts proclama-
ton, he recallad him here only to confer
upon him new honors and to give him a
new chance If he heard the complaints
against Mcclellan he did not YIELD to the
demand that he should be superseded. =
In all the preparations and movements in
the army and navy he has taken the most
tience labor and reset t4 &c One Secret
Of his success is to be found in the man
ner in which he has taken the RESPONSE
bility"
Unaffected by the possession of almost
despotic power and imperial patronage,
he has used advantages that others might
have abused to their countrys ruin, to
make him strong to do right and to hush
and satisfy clements which, under diff
ferens President might have subdued
him. The experience of President Lin
coin himself, and the experience of the
people as to his temper and characteris-
ties, are wholesome assurances that he
not shrink before the greater work that
remains when the war is ended, and that
they will sustain him in all his new Ia

FROM GEN. CURTIS ARMY.
THEY REACH HELENA, ARK. AFTER HARD
MARCH, AND SOME SEVERE FIGHTING.
MEMPHIS, July IA, via

CAIRO, July 16.
Capt Winslow and Lieut. Noble, of
Gen. Curtis staff, have reached here from
Helena, Ark, at which place Gen. Curtis
entire command arrived on Saturday
morning the ! lth The army left Bates
vile June 9th, reached Jaeksonport on
the Goth, and on the I'd of July started
across the country, marching to Helena.
On the 4th while the 18th Illinois was
coming down White River with load of
cotton, they were fired on by q band OF
guerrillas, seven miles below Grand Clio
see. Our troops returned the FIRE, when
the rebels took to the woods and fled.
A contraband," who was taken on
board next day, said he saw nineteen dead
rebels near the scene of action
On the 7th Gen Curtis advance column,
consisting of battalion of the lst Ind.
cavalry, lth Wis. and SD Ind. regiments
infantry, under command of Col. Hovey,
of the SD Illinois, were attacked by two
regiments Of Texan cavalry and large
force of infantry-the latter mostly of the
conscription recently forced into the ser
| vice. sharp engagement ensued. Col.
| Hovcy had four mounted howitzers, which
were brought to bear on the rebels with
terrible effect, causing their cavalry to
break in disorder, who riding over the
infantry, threw the latter into confusion,
| terminating in the utter rout of the entire
rebel force, who fed, pursued by our
troops, who took large number of priso-
ners, who were afterwards paroled.
After the battle our men buried 10
rebels, who were left dead on the field
Our loss was killed, among them Capt
Sloane, It'll Wis, and 30 wounded
Major Glender, in lst Indiaaa cavalry,
severely.
The rebels had no artillery, which ac-
counts for their heavy loss. Shell and
canister from our howitzers fairly moved
them down.
Col Hovey is highly praised for the
manner in which he managed the affair,
and he speaks in the highest terms of the
gallantry Of the troops under his com
mand.
Gen Curtis army has suffered consid-
erably from the fatigue Of long and forced
marches under burning sun, but the
men are in good condition His troops
have been subsisting on short rations for
some weeks, and when they arrived at
Helena had only supplies sufficient to last
three days longer.

lNTERYESTI5Y-The New York Times
calls attention to the fact tina. the late en-
platte declarations in the British Parlia-
r.eGt against intervention, are coincident
with the arrival of Lord Lyons in Eng
land. Since that event, Earl Russell in
the Lords, and Lord Palmerston in the
Commons, have on several occasions made
emphatic declarations against any inter
ference in the issue Of our civil war. And
what is really notable in these latter dec
larations is, that they rest on much higher
grounds than those that formerly came
from the same sources When Lord Pal
mcrston, on the 30th Of June, was asked
b Mr.. Hopwood, whether the Govern
ment intended to take any steps to endeav-
or to put an end to the civil war in
America, he replied that they not only
had no such intention, but added the sig
nifcant remark that the House must see
that ''aRy interteren 1rould only tend to
tie oggracatioU Of tie sr6crings Of those
acho eoere no,o experiencing such great
priUatioHs" There is no difficulty in
seeing the hand of Lord Lyons in this
declaration.
