VallandIgham and Greeley.


This worthy pair of mpatrlots-par
mobile fratrum-are embarked in the oppo-
site direction to tina. to which their faces are
turned. They are both bound for separa-
ton, though both pretend aloud to their
opponents that they are in favor of the I'm
ion, while in an aside they whisper cover
the left" Vallandigham, in his speech at
Newark, denounces the war; says it ought
never to have been waged, and desires to
have it stopped at once; yet he says in the
same breath that he will never consent to
give up the Union, though he is well aware
that it is only by force of arms it can be
maintained. Greeley protests that he is
body and soul for the Union, though before
he denounced it as an agreement with death
and covenant with hell; but now he says
If the war is not successful in restoring the
Union by the first of May, he is in favor o.
winding up the concern and letting the
Southern partner go, knowing, as he does,
that there is no possibility of success in &
short time. Greeley was in favor of letting
the south depart in peace two years ago il
the people really desired it, on the ground
that this was in accordance with the Dec
laration of Independence, which proclaimed
that rulers can only rule by the consent o
the governed. He now. after various gyra
tons and sundry exhibitions of ground and
lofty tumbling," comes back to the same
position with which he started. After sail

A New Aspect OF the war.

'Ripgbolt," the New York correspon-
dent Of the Boston Courier. writes to that
Journal: us
A wealthy ship broker, who but year
ago was not worth dollar, went into Stew
arts store lately and asked to look at some
shawls. Two kinds were shown him. The
price of one was seven hundred, and the
other was FIVE hundred dollars. "Well,

Profit per acre,

'FRONT.' per acre, S32.76
Mr.. Bennett, of Doniphan county, stated
that there is Norwegian settlement near
his residence, where there were $50 acres of
hemp grown during the last year. He did
not know how much profit they made, but
he knew they were making money. think
there is three times as much hemp raised in
that county as in all the rest Of the State
There were one thousand acres grown in that
county last year. There would be no diff
Guilty in getting.a supply of seed for the
State in that county. The hemp that was
shipped from Doniphan by Mr.. Simmons
brought some eight dollars ton more than
that from any other place. The cost OF
breaking is about one dollar per hundred.
Most of them cut it with a machine made
for the purpose. 1t is made on the princi-
pie of common reaper.
Hemp is raised on high prairie, as well
s. as on the bottom land. That on the bottom
land grows more rank; that on high prairie
weighs more
The Norwegians tried to break their hemp
by horse power, but did not succeed in re-
ducing the expense in that way.
They cut with machine-procured their
machine at St. 10.
Nothing has ever injured hemp in our sec
ton but the hail; the wind does it no harm
They have never had any trouble in rotting
it except one season, when it did not rot in
time to put in the next spring crop, and
they were obliged to remove il from the
ground.
THE Record states that Smith and Farm.
ham, of Topeka. will have hemp seed fol
sale, this spring.
" - 10 - POTATOES.
Mr.. G. S. Lambdin said he had been told
by Mr.. Gordon, who lives near Topeka, that
he had raised fine crop of potatoes, BY
simply laying them on the top of the grounc
and covering with straw.
Mr.. Ellis said he had tried that method in
Ohio with success. He thought, however
that they should be slightly covered with
soil, and that straw should be covered over
them about foot deep; the potatoes will
grow partly out of the ground.
81 4 ID - SWEET POTATOES.
o., Mr.. Ellis said he thought Kansas the bes
country in the world for raising sweet pota
toes. There is no secret or trouble abou
it. You may plant in ridges or in hills
They should be planted as early as possible
The only drawback is the manner of keep
ing them in the winter, Mr.. Miller, nea
Lawrence, informs me that he has no trouble
in keeping them by his method. Last yea
he kept $50 bushels through the winter
and only lost three pecks. He keeps then
in boxes in a cellar, surrounded inside th
box by very dry earth mingled with yer!
dry straw, and covered in the same manner
and ventilated with tubes to carry off tn
heated air, which will always generate.
- Mr.. Bennett had no trouble in keeping
sweet potatoes over winter. He keeps then
in dry sand or saw dust, as eggs would b
put up in salt or bran, keeping the potatoe
from touching one another. He keeps then
IN his garnet. They will keep better in til
garret than in the cellar.

AN AGREEABLE SURPRIsE.-A singular
incident of the war was related to US the
other day. Three fathers came up the Cum
berland river on the last feet, for the pur-
pose of bringing home with them the bodies
of their sons, who had fallen in the memoir
able battle of Stone river. They carried with
them three metallic collins, in which to place
the remains of their gallant boys. The boat
which they were on, stopped on her way
up, at Gainesville, for a short time, and
the grief-strickeu fathers stepped ashore.
Greatly to their establishment, almost the
first persons whom they saw were their
three sons, who were jolly and hearty, and
overjoyed to see the sold folks" from home,
having no more idea of getting into burial
cases than they had of throwing a flip flap
over the moon. The meeting was a most
agreeable surprise to both parties.-NaSh-

joined Jeffrey's Holloway Battery, believing his
country needed his services, and during the ar
duous Kentucky campaign, participated y seve-
raj engagements with much credit, and returned
only to be stricken with disease, and was con-
veyed to Emory Henry Hospital, and. receiv-
ed every attention possible, but the disease
could not be arrested, and was finally sent home.
But, alas parental care could not restore him.
and eminent physicians failed to give relief "He
came home but to de-" After protracted ILL
ness Of three and half months, he closed his
eyes in death. Thus has Virginia added another
to her long listof sacrifices upon the 1Iltar Of
liberty. The deceased was resident Of WASH
ington county, Va, was born the It'll Of July,
1882, and died the 18th Of March, 1863, aged
30 years, s months and 2l days.
As . soldier, he was brave. yet prudent, and
BY his noble qualities, was endeared to all with
whom he associated; as q son, ever dutiful; as
brother, his affections proverbial; as man, he
possessed qualities Of heart and mind that marks
the Vlrtuoue.
q Henry sleeps! Thy name needs NO eulogy-
the panegyrist can add nothing to thy many vir-
tues-now that thy soul has winged its way to
the spirit land. Tread softly around the grave,
disturb not his slumbers lest it be waited to his
hall Of clouds. A FRIEND.
