Feedine Hungry Rebels.

Lieut.. VIM. Fl, Chamberlin, Of this county
('.Ero," of the Cincinnati Gazette) writing to
that paper from Corinth, says:
"I have no doubt the resident rebels think
hy this time that Gen. Halleck is a very
freaeherous friend. He found them here stary-
ing; he teIegraphed for food from the nagnan-
imous North; it came. aud he issued freely the
staff Of life to the hungry traitors. 'fhey used
the life thus vauchsa6ed them in giving infor-
nation to the rebel army, as they were held
under no restrictions. IIuw they must have
been surprised then, when after the Purdy
warning they we're every one arrested and
closely confined, while an investigation into
their acts was instituted. Wonder if every
body has not read about the viper that was
kindly warmed into venomous life.
The more Kindness we waste upon the rebels
the more thoroughly will they hate us. Every
act Of conciia,ion they regard only as evidenca
that we fear them. The breed of doughface'
in ii free States, whom they so long bought
just as they bought their slaves, except gen
orally good deal cheaper, have given then
such contemplate opinion of all Northern
men that they regard every net of kindness TO

and was filed with perpetual alarm.
So, under this strange policy, the
rebels had two guarantees, and the
Union man but one. 1t is time this
was stopped. The time has arrived :
when treason must be made odious
and traitors impoverished. These
men have used their property TO de
stroy the government, and FIJI the
land with bankruptcy and distress
they haYe given their wealth freely

drench the land in fraternal blood,

from them to defray the expense Of
the war. They are the guilty ones.
They are the real criminals. The
poor have been deuded and degrad-
ed into this war, while the authors
ard instigators who have kept up the
war by their money and contribH-

At the recent meeting of the Maize
Agricultural Society, various subjects
were discussed. We copy the fol-
lowing from a report Of the proceed
ings;
Mr.. Barrows said. in regard to cur
ing bay, he thought farmers burnt
their hay to much, let it have too
much sun. He had travelled exten-
sivelv in England, and in the misty
climate of that country, where the
sun was not seen for a number Of days
in succession, they succeeded in hav.
ing good hay. 1t was cured chiefly
in the cocks, being put up IN snail
lunches. Hay dried too much Is
wothloss, the straw should bend but
/ not hrcak.
Mr.. Chamberlin said he was sure
too much sun injured hay. He did
not care how tight a barn was.his

careful to have his hay wah trod
down when tsowed away.
Mr.. Martin thought three or four
hours sun was amply sufficient for clo-
yer hay, if about half Of tho heads
were turned before it was cut. ifit
was mown after the dew was OF.
and put in the barn at noon, or when
hot. Last year he had fVs tonsof
clover hay, which, after being cut,

dull weather. Tha hired man opened
it. and because it looked green they
spread it out very thin, and it.wAs

WHAT WE May ExPEcT.-There is REASON
to fear that for some lime to come we shall
hear of series of minor federal reverses. The
cOnscription act has forced the whole southern
population into the various rebel armies, and
they must oe set in motion. The resources of
the South would not be sufficient TO keep that
vast body of men idle in camp. Hence we
may expect desperate effort on the part Of
the rebel Generals TO break through our lines
and. If possible, transfer the war to Maryland
and Kentucky, if not to Pennsylvania aud
Ohio Their resources are even now all but
exhausted, aud this would give them a new
lease of life. Gen. Halleck is anxious 10 avoid
u summer champaign, but he cannot help him
self; the rebels will force him into activity
AS for Virginia, it is now evident that large
rebel army is moving rapidly north, and as
they have the choice of position 10 attack, and
we have 70 efficient spy system, our first
knowledge of their real whereabouts will prob
ably be in connection with q discontinue of a
portion OF our troops. A division of ten.
Pope's army is doubtless by this time on the
north bank of the Rapidan river, threatening
Gordonville, ard if this movement is not a
mere Ieiat we shall soon hear of bloody work
1t is well to be prepared for some reverses.-
We are out-numbered and have lost the abili.
ty TO attack Gatil our reinforcemeats are put
in the 6eld. This will no! be for couple of
months yet, by which time the sOutherners will
have spent their energies in fruilless summer
campaign. It is beyond the power of any ua-
tion on earth to keep the army they have on
foot in good condition for any length Of time
aud the eoninv fall UilI sna the rpbpi lpadprS
in most desperate strait to keep their hordes
together. By the time they must partially
