Some time since Ne copisd At length an
able article on Pedigree Whea. from lead
ing English paper. We now 6nd tho same
subject is ATTRACTING the attention Of sgricul-
turis,s in tMs Country. We copy tie fol-
loEiag from the. -in<rieas Agrieslssriss for
October:
The general superiority Of olooded ami
mails. that is, those whose pedigree can be
traced through families possessing msrked
and fixed points of excellence. is now gen.
orally conceded. Il is ackno wledyei that
an equal number Of the Durhams. Devons
aud Hereferds. among cattle. OF Merinoes.
Southdowns and Cotswo.ds. among sheep,
etc. will. as . class. show superior qualities
TO the miscellaneous stock known rs natives.
But the same principlc Of superiority from
breeding among plants, has not yet been as
fully recognized. Yet there is abundant
reason for supposing that the same law is
equally prevalent in the vegetables rs in the
animal kingdom; that &" ike bege,s like"
and tha, observance of this Law may be turn
ed 10 mos, profitable account by cui,ivstors.
To some extent this is acted upon, in saving
the best seeds Of grain and other products.
but it is only recently that definite expert
meut can be realized by proper and contin-
ued selection of seed. The experimental
researches and success Of Mr.. F.. +. Hall
let,. of Brighton. England. have already
been noticed in the .AgyieHlturia. New in
terest has been excited in this subject re-
Gently by meeting Of q large number Of
the leading farmers of England. to inspect
his farm and witness the progress Of his opsr.
ntons. From year TO year this gentleman
has selected, not only the best heads Of
wheat. bat the best kernels Of the finest ears.
and used them for seed. One Of the visitors
SAYS. 1.-TWO or three features in the appear
auce Of the wheat fields forcibly struck US.
namely. the extraordinary strength Of the
stems which enabled them to withstand .
very severe storm occurring July 2lst. and
rraintain their upright position; the uniform
size Of ear. and the absence Of 'undercorn'
(dwarfed wheat). We counted on one stool
AZ ears, all Of which were OF the same size
and as near as possible. OF equal height"
In reply to the question. 'What was the
average product of his wheat crop last
year :" Mr.. Hallett said he shoald keep
far within the limits Of truth in stating that
the hartman four and half quarters CSC
bashels) per acre. He also gave three in
stances which had come to his knowled &C.
Of large prodcs,iveness nf the improved
wheat, which yielded respectively. 72 bush
els, o2 bushels. snd so bushels per acre
Now what has been done in England. can
be repeated here. No one can fix the lin

carried by following out similar experiment nts

p% The following preamble and resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted At the ses-
sion OF the Grand Lodge of l. o. G. L.
just closed at Cambridge City. and ordered
10 be published in the county papers, as an
expression of the feelings of the order with
regard to the duty of Good Templers in the
present crisis:
WHEREAS, Our country is now engaged
gigantic struggle for the suppression of
the greatest rebellion known to his'ory-a
rebellion which. after an existence Of more
than 81 years, still rears its by dra head.
and madly threatens the utter destruction
Of tbs Institutions Of civil and religious lib
erty which have been our feast for more
than so years. and
WHEREAs, Many of the members of our
Order, in obedience to the call Of their coun
try. have nobly gone TO the tented field to
struggle and. if need be, die in defense Of
the government. therefore be it
Resoleed. That this Grand Lodge is now.
As ever, loyal to the General Government.
and most heartily approve Of every effort
honestly made for the suppression OF this
wicked and causeless rebellion, inaugu-
rated by ambitious and unprncipled South
ern traitors, and aided and abe,ted by their
Northern sympaihizers.
Resulced. Tha, we pledge to the Govern
ment our earnest and united influence in sup
port Of the war and that We will neverconsent
to a peace until treason be utterly crushed,
and the national banner-the glorious stripes
and stars floats in triumph over every foot
of American soil.
RESOLVED. That We send greeting to our
noble army in the fold. aud especially to
the members Of our order. who actuated by
the nobiest patriotism. have sacrificed the
comforts OF home. and the endearmcnts Of
the social circle. to peril their lives to
mos: holy cause.
Rrsolved. That we will ever cherish in
grateful remembrance the memory Of our
noble dead, whose bones are mouldering on
a hundred glorious battlefslds. and that we
pledge ourselves never 10 surrender the
rights and privileges for which they havs
sacrificed their lives, but to transmit them
pnimpaired to the millions who are to in.
habit this fair land when we shall have pas
sed away.
The Richmond palladium., 1863-10-30

A very intelligent young man. a refugee
from Richmond, who has been there all
through the war, and who o.ly succeeded
in making his escape last Monday, has ar
rived here and communicated to the militia.
ry authorities some important intellige noe
touching the rebel armies.
ln regard to the strength Of their armies.
he ssys there is much m'sapprehsn nsion q,
thority for stating that the strength Of Lees
army previous to the sending OF the two
corps to re-enforce Bragg did no, exceed
10000 efficient troops that Bragg. with
these re endorsements, had not over 40 coo
men. and that he only managed to defeat
Rosecrans by surprise and attacking his
isolated columns.
He further states that the story Of re-ep.
forcements having been sent to Gen. Lee
from Charleston and elsewhere, is totally
incorrect. That there have been no troops
sent Lee. except in the way Of deserters
and conscripts that none have returned
from Bragg's army. and that to such straits
have the rebel authorities been reduced,
that they are even forcing into the ranks
those persons who have provided substi-
tutes.
There was a general feeling Of despond
ency in Richmond, and the fact was freely
admitted that their armies were none Of
them sufficiently strong to assume offensive
operations will; any prospect Of success /;
that the want Of men prevented Bragg from
following up his success. and prevents him
now from attacking the Uoion army at
Chattanooga ahimore american.
