WoY'T BE ExcHANGED.-Four of the
prisoners brought here from Murfrees-
boro, escaped from the boats while lying
here, and were picked up yesterday by
the provost guard.
They assign, as reason for their es-
cape, that they did not desire to be sent
to Vicksburg for exchange, but desired to
take the oath of allegiance to the United
States and return home. They belong
in Louisville.
They were lodged in Jail until the will
of Gen. Wright in reference to the dispo-
sition of them, can be obtained.

the command Of division. His crown
ing achievement at Stones River GER
tainly entities him to the command of
one of the new corps6nto which the army
of the Cumberland has been divided.
A conversation with Captain in the
3rd Florida fully confirms the disgrace
full situation of Johnson's division when
first attacked by the rebels. With a
meaning smile the Captain remarked,
"your officers must be wider awake than
that, if they hope to succeed in subduing
the rebels
How long are our brave men to be
sacrificed by being placed under the
command of officers who have no heart
in the cause in which they are fighting
How many evidence of gross incompe
tency or treason must be adduced before
an incompetent or faithful officer will be
removed?

A SKIRmsH, AND WHAT CAME OF
IT-On Tuesday afternoon while the
prisoners were on the boats lying at the
landing, little muss was gotten up
which produced some excitement
The leniency with which the rebel off
GERS had been treated, or rather the large
and unwarrantable liberty that had been
allowed them, had produced consider
able feeling, and men were prepared to
actimpetuously. Under the circumstan-
ces it was rather natural for men, also,
to make mistakes. While the crowd was
gathered around the boats, German
under the influence Of whisky, as the ev-
idence goes, was staggering around the
boat, and being filled with Indignation
against the Southern Confederacy, and
thinking this fitting opportunity to con-
tribute his mite towards suppressing the
rebellion, armed himself with rock and
was about to discharge this primitive am
munition at the Confederacy, when the
attention of James Sanders, an ex-sol-
der was called to the belligerant Teuton.
Sanders thinking doubtless, that the
charge menaced on the Confederacy was
untimely, interferred, and after suffle
succeeded in disarming the German.
Andy Hutchinson, whose love of coun-
try has been attested on many a we'll
fought field, and who bears the certif
cate of his valor, in the shape of a
stump of an arm, having witnessed
numerous tokens of courtesy on part
of Sanders towards the captured
Confederacies, by way of shaking
hands, and social conversations, seeing
the muss between Sanders and the Ger
man, thought it his duty to interfere in
behalf of the patriotic Dutchman. He
therefore, with more valor than discre-
ton, rushed to the rescue, and straight
ening out his left arm-it being the only
one he has left-sent Sanders to grass,
and as he acknowledged repeated the
blow, drawing the clarrt from the crown
of Sanders head, when the City Mar
shall interfered and separated the com
mai L esssterday the matter was brought to
the notice of Justice Stinson, who, after
hearing the evidence, which elected the
facts above stated, together with the
fact, that seems manifest, that Hutehin-
son went in on mistaken sense of duty,
and in consideration, as we presume, of
the fact that Andy has fought bravely in
defense of his country, and is now some
what bitter against her enemies, fined
him only IS, including costs. Had he
been Southern Confederacy there is nc
calculating what heamount of his fine
would have been. Andy planled down
the green backs, remarking that he had
doubts of the justice of the sentence.
Under all the circumstances, the public
will Judge for themselves.

DSE- jeff Davis, in response to sere-
made at Richmond, on his return from
the Southwest, made a lengthy speech,
asserting, among other things, that the
Northern invaders of the South in every
way have shown themselves so utterly
disgraced, that if the question was pro-
posed to you whether you would combine
with hyenas or Yankees, trust every
virginian would say, give me the bye-
mas.
1t is altogether natural for animals of
like instincts to prefer the society of each
other, and we are not surprised to hear
that the grave-robbing, dead-defacing
rebels prefer the society of the dead
hunting hyenas of Asia to that of the
civilized and Christianized citizens of
the Northern States.

THE CULTURE OF CHICoRY.

lhE OULl u NE VI CHlCOhf,
We and tho following in the Coastry
Gentleman, of the 18th ult,, from cor
respondent, in reply to the inquiry of an
ether correspondent, upon the cultivation
# Chicory--an article as substitute for
gofoe, at this time being much inquired
about. The writer, however, not only
gives the mode of culture but also the way
30 prepare it for use.
My experience is confined 10 raising a
few bushels annually in the garden for
our owa use.
Ohicory belongs to the family of Com.
posite, or compound flowers, aud has
milky juice like the dandelion. 1t pro
duces its seeds the second year, yet the
root is perennial, and even fragments Oft
live and grow Tho root is white, shaped
like a carrot, but does not grow as large
and has many branches or fbres. The
flower stalks are about four feet high,
bsanched with abundant foliage and nu-
merous large blue flowers.
1t is principally cultivated in Germany,
and used either alone or with other mate
rials, as substitute for coffee. We i'm
port large quantities oft every year, and
it is raised to considerable extent for
market by German farmers on Long
Island. We were informed by coffee
burner in New York, that one farmer in
1861 raised fifty acres, for which crop
when prepared for market he received
eight thousand dollars. The price for the
dried root in New York, the past year
has been eight cents per pound or ever
higher.
The seed may be obtained at the prin-
cpal seed stores. 1t should be sown il
drills like carrots, and receive similal
culture. The soil should be light and o
easy tillage, and the anure well fermen
ed and finely pulverised' The roots ma.
be dug in october, the tops furnishing foot
for cattle, though fed in excessive guam
tity to milch cows, they are said to injur
the quantity of the milk.
Wash the root clean, slice in thil
pieces, dry in the sun or in moderate
oven, and brown and grind the same a
coffee. 1t is stronger than the pure cot:
fee in equal quantities, gives a good colo
to the decoction, but does not settle quit
as clear as the genuine article. It's a
ingredient in all the burnt and gronu
coffee sold in market. The flavor is agree
able to most persons, and used as partia
substitute for the Java it does very wei
We recently treated our friends with

was pronounced very good, and the
were surprised to learn that it eonsaiae
not a particle of coffee.
The only objection we can find again
its culture as farm crop, is that whe
once sown tbs exceedingly difficulty to g
it out of the land, and it becomes weet
Yet it is esteemed abroad as foras
plant, and is readily eaten by cattle eith'
green or dry. The root is very solid an

KILLING CANADA THISTLE.

James Sermon, of Rochester, n Y,
gives in the Michigan Fa,mer the follow
ing mode of killing this great farm pest -
In the spring of 1861 l bought a few
acres of land. That part of it on which
! intended to make my garden and plant
my vegetables grew so full Of Canada
thistles that l thought it was entirely
worthless. But | resolved to try what
hoeing would do; SO jlst as soon as the
thistles got one or two inches long hoed
them through he whole season. This
year, up to the present date, not one thistle
has appeared. Any one who will adopt
this plan Of determination will never have
t. complain of these pests.
