4 HARTER BARRAcKs, Gin, O.. Oct. 29, '63.
ED. GkzETTE:-Tbe bloody 8sth reached Ii,
Queen City OF the West on the evening OF III,
29th inst, TO relieve The 1l5th who. were OF
guard duty here. We were relieved at Camp
Chase by the Invalid Corps into whose haDds
we delivered about 5000 rebel prisoners, sew
leral deserters and two she-secesh, and so glad
were we 10 get rid Of our charge, we gave
them over without taking lieu on them in
security for their not getting out.
Upon arriving here, after detail was made
for guard duty, our company was marched to
our present location on Fourth street, betweeH
Main and Sycamore. ~ ga
All the arrangements are Of the first order,
all being in doors. -
On Monday Gen. Rosecrans arrived, and
met With grand reception-the police, citi-
zens, etc, being out in their Sunday rigging
We have motley and varied crew to guard
We have some who bad been intrusted to han-
die the public funds, and it is feared that some
Of It stuck TO their fingers; then We have a
pretended, il not genuine, Russian Prince,
who was picked mp 10 Dixie, while acting the
part of a epy; besides these we have the va
rious grades Of rebel prisoners, some Of whom
are as sharp as weasles, and need much watch
ing. Another class is those despicable beings
who were imported here from Indiana, Illinois,
etc, TO vote for the traitor VaIIandigham
But the authorities couldn't see it in this
light, SO they took charge of the migratory
gentlemen. Next we have those who deserted
their country's flag. ....-.-- ...'' -
Business is brisk in this place, but, unless |
there is swell in the river ere the Ohio is ice
bound there nu,t necessarily lie mulh suffering
for the want Of coal.
We do not want 20 be better situated than
we are, although everything in the eating line,
outside cf what Uncle Sam furnishes us, is up |
in the pictures in price.
Under the administration Of Mayor Harris,
Cincinnati is blessed with most efficient Po-
lice, who are always 10 be depended upon.
The market ie o! the first quality, and ev-
erything that is desired can be had there.
The city is flooded with military gentlemen,
some Of whom seem to have no particular OBJ
ject in view, = . '-=...'" ~ - { ''''1' =.
Our officers are all up to snuff, and things
go on swimmingly. Col Nef is a team aud

Allow me TO say that in my opinion the la

other city ever was in for beauty and iutelIi-

Wheat on Clover Sod.

C. S. Mason, Wayne Co, N. Y, writes tc
the Agriculturist: " have always had The
lccese in sowing wheat on sod ground.
NOW clover one year only for hay, and after
cutting, turn the sod under FIVE or six inches
deep. and harrow lengthwise once, and lher
diagonaly once. The wheat is drilled in from
the first to the tenth of September. SOD
ground will stand droEth, or if the season be
wet, the water has chance TO drain off. The
wheat grows strong in Autumn, stands winter
better than if sowD after barley, oats, or peas
and ripens earlier"
We know by successful experience and
much observation, that turning under heavy
growth Of clover, is an excellent preparation
for q wheat crop. The clover gathers from
the atm lsphere large amount OF nitrogenous
material. which is specially adapted TO the
wants of wheat while the buried roots and
stems helps to keep the soil porous Our
practice at the West was to SOW clover on
the wheat in the Spring. pasture it in Autumn
NOW the next year, and then turn under a
heavy second growth, and SOW wheat directly
upon il, without second plowing. Or, after
having paslured it in Autumn. the following
Spring the stock were kept of, and the first
growth was plowed in while in bloom. This
was left fallow, the weeds were narrowed down
occasionally, and n Autumn tbefellwas tho
roughly narrowed aud cross-barrowed, and the
wheat was sown. This latter plan was adopt
ed when the wants of stock required pastur-
age in Autumn, or when the soil needed re-
cruiiing by heavy sward and first large
growth Of clover. This treatment gave an il,
creased crop of wheat every second or third
year on the same land, besides the hay and
pasturage.
When needed, top-dressing of plaster was
sown on the wheat in tie Spring, with the
special object of promoting strong growth Of
clover. The effect of this application was
very distinctly seen, when piece Of land was
left upholstered.

The talk OF the Copperheads about Presi-
dent Lincoln trampling upon the rights OF the
people is without a particle of truth. The
whole land might be searched through, and not
another man could be found with less Of the
iyrant's disposition than he-not another man
who is more thoroughly identified with the
people in birth, in association, in habit, in
feeling, in entire character. A great many
extraordinary things, we know, may be, ra-
tionally enough, thought of human nature (;
but there is something So supremely absurd in
the idea that Abraham Lincoln means TO usurp
the popular liberties, that no man can enter
tain it without making fool Of himself No
sane man seriously believes it.
II the President has exercised strong pow
ers, it is because they have been conferred, un-
der the Constitution, by the exigencies OF the
public situation, and because, in his honest
Judgment, their exercise was necessary.

APTITUDE N BUSINESS


Thousands engage in the strife oi
business, but really how few pos
sess an aptitude for it'll An old
merchant stated at public dinner
that eighty out of every hundred
of those who had engaged in mer-
camille pursuits had failed, although
their opportunities were quite as fa-
vorable as were those of the few
who had succeeded: It was not
lack of industry, but of aptitude!
that had caused them to fail. Very
few men possess this quality, which
for want of a bettr name has been
called luck, and without which no
man, however astute and prudent
he may be IN other matters, can
hope to succeed in the mutations
which invaribly accompany the adi
yenturous career of the merchant.
Aptitude is everything. A man
may have an excellent idea of music;
but no amount of study will make
him a musician; SO he who engages
in business, however clear his opin-
ions may be on the conduct of 9TH
ers, may never himself succeed m
that which,he is competent to crit

I know some houses, we'll built

is not pleasant to be even a visitor.
Sharp angry words resound through
them from morning till night, and
the influence is as contagious as
measels, and much more to be dread
ed in the household. They catch it
and it lasts for life, an incurab1e dis
ease.- A friend has such neighbor
within hearing of cher house when
doors and windows. are open, and
evel Poll Parrot has caught the tune
and delights in screaming and scol-
ling, until she has been sent into
the country to improve her habits.
Children catch cross tones quick
er than parrots, and it is a much
more mischievous habit. . Where
mother sets the example you will
scarcely hear pleasant word among
the children in their plays with each
other. Yet the discipline of such a
family is always irregular. The
children expect just so much scol-
ding before they do anything they
are bid; while many a home where
the low firm tone of the mother or a
decided look of her steady eve is
law, never think of disobedience

The returns received at the Department o
Agriculture, Washington, between the 81
and Sth days of September, fiOm all the
States visited by the late severe frosIs, gener.
ally place the injury to the corn crop at from
one-ffth to one-half the whole crop. The re-
ports received before the frost represented the
corn crop as excellent, and in Maryland aud
Pennsylvania only one-tenth below the aver
age Tobacco, in the same States is about an
average crop. There is but little doubt but
what tLis crop suffered more than any other
throughout the region visited by the frost-
Sorghum was injured less than corn.
