All leaves, flowers and herbs should be preferably
gathered in clear, dry weather in The morning, atte
the dew is exhsled
The roots of m7dicioaI plants, although more adVun
tgeousy gathered ct certain periods to be hereafter
specified do not lose ther medicinal virtues il consc
quence of being dug in m:d-aummer. IL is probable
that most OF those imported thus collected by say
ages ignorant persons when the plant Is in full ea
| it being then more easily recognized
Plants annual, should be gathered at The time when
their vegetation is vigorous, which is generally
from the time they begin 10 flower until their leaves be-

time Of towering.

taton of the first year has ceased.

before vegetation has commtnced. Roots should be
washed and the smaller oers unless they the part
employed should be then separated from the body Of
the root which, when of any considerable siza is TO be
cut in slices previous to being dried.
Bulbs to be gathered after the new bulb is per-
ectd, and before it has begun to vege1ae which is at
the time the leaves decay those which 10 be pre-
served fresh should be buried in dry sand.
Barks whether of the root, trunk branches, should
be gathered in the autumn, early in the SPRING
;he dead epidermis or outer bark, aud the decayed
parts should be removed OF some trees (a8 tie em)
the inner bark oDly is preserved
Leaves are to be gathered after their full develop
ment, before the fading Of the flowers The leaves O
biennias do not attain hir perfect qualities until the
second year.

The New York World tells rs Says the Richmond
spatcf) what we had previously heard from Il source
entitled to credit that the drat has proved complete
failure not having secured the services C 60 900 men,
all told Throughout the whole Yankee States. Now
these 90 OO0 men will 90 but very short way 10 ill
up the gap made in the Yankee ranks in 1868, at
Chance lllorsve, Gettysburg, at ChickamauEa, at
Vicksburg and by sickness and desertiOu which have
prevailed to most UNUSUAL extent throughout the
Yankee armies everywhere.
Secondly, the New York Times, a short time since,
u the course OF editorial designed spur up the
tagging energies of its government, stated that the
gleaer part of its arny would go out OF service next
May that the winter and the mud would prove most
powerful auxiiare5 to troops they did last yeA
and the year bfore that the rebellion must therefore,
be crushed before November and that II not crushed
before that time it could not be until next fall. 1t
stated that only troops it would have on hand fox
the grand dashiGg operation next May-the earliest
day OF which it would be possible to open the cam
paign--wouId be the new conscripts. 1t rated their
strength at three hundred thousand, but the estimate
of the World we have reason to know, IS nearer the
mark.
Thirdly. In commenting upon the failure of Rose
crans' Georgia campaign, the New York Herald
veaed the tact that undertaken for the purpose
of sez ng several hundred thousand bales OF cotton
known to exist in that State, which 1t deemed essential
10 support the credit OF the GankCe finances. This
a startling revelation 1t was hoped by the Yankees
that this ceton would be sold in Europe tor specie and
that by means of the money thus acquired the Ctd OF
their Government would be sustained But the enter
prise has failed and the relief is not afforded. The in
dehedness OF YankeCd0m to Europe certainly does not
fail short of one thousand millions. Europe is growing
impatient and must have the prlnCpal or interest III
specie Yankeedom ts piratical inroaa into Georgia
having failed can pa7 neither principal nor interest,".
When the financial bubble shall have exploded, what ID
Yankeedom to do?
Fourth and lastly In order TO reinforce Rosecranz,
the Yankees are compelled to take heavy detachments
from the army Of Meade at the very time when that Of
fcar is expected to make fresh 'on to Richmond and
when, according to the New York Herald, there
be no doubt OF his success. If the Yankees have the
Overwhelming force OF which they boast, why is it
cessary to depete ono army in order 20 strengthen an
other? Ia order to reinforce RosecraLz, aso they
stripping the whole lower c.ontry OF troops thereby
exposing it to reoccupatiOn BY our troops. Why oil
tns they have the hosts they pretend to have? The
fact is their mighty armies are Tor the part men
in buck kram They exist nowhere but in the magma
tion of Sewar6 and their editors. Their zeal strength
is not greatly superior to ours.
