THE SITUATION IN TENNESSEE.

A dispatch from Louisville represents that the
Rebels mnde but little resistance, and have re-
treated to Tullahoma. Other accounts, however,
indicate That the place WAS not captured without
an obstinate resistance. That it raS captured
seems unquestouablc, yet the statements of
our success in other respects do not seem per-
lcctly clear. II the Rebels have really fallen

SEEDING WITH RYE IN SUMNER
We were recently in conversation with
Z. G. Bauder, Esq. Winnebago Co.,
frequently mentioned in our columns as
breeder OF COtswold and other sheep.
The talk turned upon the subject of
seeding for pasture. He is a strong ad-
vocate of scel ling with rye, and gave the
following as, in his experience, the best
method.
Plough in any Of the sumner months,
mix Timothy and clover, half and half,
ten qts. to the acre rye one and one
half bushels harrow all in we'll and roll
with heavy roller.
In few weeks the rye viii complete
ly cover the ground, affording the best
of summer and fall feed for either sheep
or cattle. The soil has been made so
compact with the roller that the tramp
ing of the stock does no injury to the
Timothy or clover roots. The rye, if
properly fed down, does not seed, and
will live for about three years. The
grass and clover continually thriving
form good sod, even in sandy soil, max
ing of itself a complete pasture by this
time.
His success in this way has always
been good. He has never lost seed
ing from the drouth, which be considers
the great cause of failure in seeding with
oats or other crops in spring, or even
fall grains, that are removed at harvest
time, exposing the tender grass plants to
the seorching sun Of summer. From
the experience of Mr. b. and others
mentioned by him, we can confidently
recommend this method of seeding to all
our Northern farmers. Especially must
it prove valuable when, from any cause,
there is a necessity TOR sudden iu
crease of pasture. A few weeks serve
to furnish sufficient and reliable food.--

PAID NEGRO LABoR-Everywhere
as far as we have any information on
the point, the plan of getting the negroe;
to work for small monthly sum, instead
of supporting them as hangers-on of ouI
armies, has worked admirably. This
system is now being introduced into Ten
nessee, and Brig. Gen. Paine, stationed
at Gallatin, thus writes to Gen. Rose
Grams of the success he is meeting with
MY plan for changing slave to hired
labor is working admirably. We are
hiring the black people to their own
masters. We say to the servant that he
is 10 have IS per month, and is to be
faithful and good, and work hard. We
say to him, in the presence Of his for
mer owner, that if his employer does not
pay him at the end of the month in good
money, then he is to return. We make
written contracts, in which the slave is
only known as hired man, The Fair
view estate has upon it 16O slaves. The
estate is four miles from here. The trus-
tees and overseers came to me TO 60 there
and compel the black people to work.
l told them l should do so, but
should make it charge on the estate to
pay them for their labor. They at once
agreed to it. | went down and told the
black men they should have So per
month, and the women IS. / would
stop the pay of any lazy. or disobedient
servant, and would punish him beside.
You can form no idea of the change in
these people. The overseer is compell-
ed to report to me each week, and he
says there has never been anything like
it. They never had so much work done
nor half as well done, before

man in it; and a man dosen't get himsel

that's what / say. If you're afraid

But the women crept behind hin
tremulously, and kept silence while he
tried again if he could see anything
through the keyhole. Then he opened
the door boldly.
"If the packs an honest pack" said
Joseph, sit won't mind shot"
Perhaps the pack really moved, oil
perhaps Joseph was little nervous, for
the LAST word was not out of his mouth
when the report offs gun rang through the
room.
| A dead silence followed it. Joseph's
eyes were fixed in wide open stare on
the pack. Presently, small red spot
came oozing through the coarse wrap
pering; it grew larger. A little red
stream trickled down on the floor, and
crawled towards the boys feet. Then
be retired hastily, and locked the door
again.
His face was very pale. He had kill
ed a man, and it was a horrible thing to
do and to think of.
Now you lock all the doors and make
them as fast as you can," he said, "that
peddler chap WON'T stay till morning for
his pack, I'm thinking. What o'clock
is it-ten? Let us put lights in all the
rooms, and make-believe there's party
a regular houseful.'
Once during the night Joseph, stand
ing near a window, fancied he heard a
low whistle outside; his heart gave a
great jump, and he signalled to the two
women to move about, and slam the
doors, and make as much noise as they
could, The whistle was repeated once
only, and then all was quiet But tho
the morning light broke in upon the SER
wants, they could not go 10 bed or rest
for thinking of that ghostly thing down
in the buffers pantry Noon brought
the master Of the house but no peddler
came With shawls and gown pieces,
When they undid the pack, the hand
Of the dead man was found clutching a |
small whistle, and he had belt on, stuck |
with pistols and cutlass. 1t is needless
10 add that Joseph was rewarded; and
some time afterwards, one of a gang Of
robbers being caught in burglary, con-
fessed himself to be the identical bagman
who left his pack at the lonely house,
and never went to claim it.

little girl of about eight years, holding in
her hand the wcll-filled dinner pail which
she bad been commissioned to carry to
his place OF work, and which on hearing
what had belallen her father, she had
considerably brought to b station
