A short spell ago. DR.. Bakeslee. gem
tleman in whom we have always had con-
siderable confidence as fairand well mean
ing democrat, started democratic paper
At Lacrosse. He made moderate start.
and the first issues Of BIZ Pss appeared
loyal TO the Constitution aud Government;
but ne has wandered INTO every corner Of
disloyalty, and has got to initiating the
Chicago Times by inventing bad accounts
OF the conduct Of our soldiers. Here is
one OF his inventions, which the Louisville
Journal and Nashville papers pronounce
as mean lie as was ever coined:
"Again; it is but few weeks since Col
Turhcin, in Athens, Alabama, gave bis
men four hours of absolute freedom, to do
as they saw fit. They repaired TO fe-
male seminary and committed inhuman
outrages, which cannot. be mentioned IN a
public journal, Till their beastly desires
were satisfied. Had negro woman, in.
stead Of a hundred white ladies, been out
ragged, each soldier participating in the
cri would have been shot, aud the Col
onel dismissed from the service
The Louisville Journal affirIas that the
ladies were not moiested, that the soldiers
never went near the seminary, that the
people Of the town of Athens were well
treated. that such falsehoods Of northern
papers are designed TO infame the rebels
and make them If possible unconquerable,
that such lies SO into European papers
and do us great damage, that such editors
and papers ought to be sent south where
they can do US less damage, &c. And,we
add, such as this Dir. Blakeslee, are the
men who manifest terrible horrors Of the
unconstitutional seizures Of northern trait
ors and their imprisonment in 1T. LaFay-
ette-without trial and without knowing
why imprisoned

Notes on Flax Culture.

The quantity Of seed per acre varies
with the purpose f cultivation. If the
object be to secure se-d only, three pecks
per acre is ample. When sown thus thin
ly the stalks throw out more branches,
and a larger quantity Of seed is produced.
Where the crop is grown for the fiber
alone from one and half to two bushels
per acre is used, according to the strength
of the land. In some districts Of Europe
where the finest linens are produced, as
high as three bushels per acre are sown.
1t will probably pay best TO sow with ref
erence TO raising both seed and fiber;t en-
one bushel, or on strong land, five pecks
per acre will be the proper quantity.
The average yield Of an acre Of good
land is a Ton OF rotted flax, and from ten
to twelve bushels Of seed. A ton of rot
ted fax properly treated, will give from
$50 TO 500 lbs. of dressed fax, about 10
lbs. of coarse tow, aud II to 15 lbs. fine
tow. It would not pay to transport flax
IN tie straw TO any great distance if prop
erly broken, some so per cent. of the
woody part may be separated, and then it
can be proftably aled and sent to mar
kat. The brake for this work described
il the January Agricmturist, (p. l2), can
be as readily moved from one ueighbor.
to another as the ordinary threshing ma
chine, thus enabling the farmers ola large
district to prepare their straw for transpor-
tation.--Aaaeraeqn AgricWlturist.

Rebel Construction Of our Constitution.

The rebels have confiscated five hundred
millions worth Of property belonging TO
loyal people. The { ebts due every North
ern citizen were conhseated. All the stocks,
bonds and mortgages, lands and chattesl
belonging to Northern people that could
be reached, we're searched out and seized
Loyal men in the South, were cleaned gu :
of house and home, their lands, money,
goods, chattels, negroes-eyerythlng they
possessed were confscated and the pio-
ceeds used to carry on the war against the
union. Ask the rebel government where
they get the legal authority for making
those seizures, and they reply, in the Mont
gomery Constitution. They justify the
sequestration as entirely proper and lawful,
and in harmony and accordance with their
Constitution. But the Copperheads de-
clare it to be in violation of our Constitu-
lion, to retaliate by conhscating the prop
erty of the rebels. Let us see about this.
The Montgomery Constitution is literal
transcript of al the articles and sections OF
tie Washington Constitution, that can BY
any construction give the authority to con-
fiscate the property of Federal citizens.
Wherein the two Instruments differ relates
10 state sovereignty and the right Of seces-
sion and the nationality aid divinity Of
slavery. But all the war powers Of their
government, all the legislative aud judicial
processes of their Congress and Supreme
Court are literally copied from our Consti-
tuition. The expounders and administra-
tors Of the Montgomery Constitution are
Democrats-and formerly were the leaders
and rulers of the Northern Democrats.
BY their own Interpretation Of the Consti-
tuition, Congress has power to pass a con-
fiscation act, and by their example, that act
ought 10 be executed by our government,
which it has not been, for some reason UNI
known to the public. The rebels first de-
clare themselves TO be an independent gov
eminent, and next copy our Constitution,
making certain changes and amendments
in regard to slavery and state sovereignty,
and then proceed to enact stringent aud
sweeping confiscation laws which are pro-
nounced to be strictly il accordance with
theportions Of our Constitution which they
adopt, and under those laws they seize and
convert to rebel use, FIVE hundred millions
OF property belonging TO loyal citizens. In
view Of these facts, we ask, is it not poor
rule that will not work both ways! Why
emit our Government rightfully and con
stitutionalIy confscate the property Of the
rebclsf Does any man, not a malignant
Copperhead, deny the power to do SOL
We never heard Of Spirit Of the
TIM.

low it Works

An officer in the army gives us the fol-
lowing incident:
Somewhere in the Southwest, within
The Federal lines, dwells the owner of sew
eral slaves, who had succeeded in keeping
bis human property safe through all the
events Of the war, and who was accustomed
TO boast not immediately Of the devotion
which his slaves bore towards him. He
was not afraid oftheP Presidents proclamation
not be. He treated his slaves like hu-
mans, and they knew it. They didn't
want their liberty be induced to
leave preferred remaining as slaves andera
good master, DC, &c On the morning Of
the fist Of Jan. the aforesaid owner was
surprised by the noise of cheering and
other uproarous demonstrations before his
door and on going forth to see what it
meant, was still more surprised to find his
negroes drawn up IN body, with bundles
ON their backs, and everything indicating
they were about to take their departure.
A few words suhiced to explain the situs-
ton. The negroes had concluded to avad
themselves Of the liberty which they sup
posed had been given them by "Mr. LUX
um," but as they felt grateful for past kind
treatment, they thought be ore they left
they would stop and bid 'massa' good-by.
This unmstakable indication of indepen-
dence brought things foa crisis. The mas
Ter was not prepared to lose his slaves, and
the slaves had no personal aisliking to the
master. 1t was, therefore, not difficult for all
parties to come to an understanding when
the disposition for riutal concession existed.
The master agreed to pay the negroes wa
ges for their labor, and the negroes agreed
to stay and work for wages. And SO the
thing settled"

Rebel Prlsssers at Ch;eago.

There are now over 5000 of the Mr..
fteesboro rebels prisoners at Chicago, in
camp Douglas the 1ai5une correspondent
writing Febuaryss I'd thus describes them
If possible, those who arrived last even
ing were more poorly clad, dirtier aud
more eadaverous than any that have been
in camp before. Among them are stout
healthy men, and al, efeminae boys
of fourteen; tail, broad-shouldered men,
Standing six feet seven, and short, fat men
there are Mexicans, Spaniards, qoadroons,
oetoronns. and fnlI=bioo5e,i !. -
haIf-uIood and fuIf-bIood Cherokee indians.
There are priyates from every State in Sc
eessia except North Carolina, and thele
may be some from that State, but none
have vet reported themselves Some
wore two hats, while fully hundred had
none, but covered their heads with blankets
They were clad in old bits Of carpetino,
raos, horse blankets, bedeuilts, eomforters,
DC, some of which were so filthy that one
would scarcely dare touch then. These
wero generally held about the shoulders
and body by pins Of bard wool. or IN
couth pins of huge dimensic ms, wrought
into fantastic shapes from telegRph uiis.
Their cooking utensils consisted of numer-
OTIS camp kettles, milk pairs, cpfee pots
and iron pots and kettles of all Aapes and
sizes, the Comms airy Departnert seem
ed scattered through the entire aein, each
having supply of fat porh bread or
crackers, and several with saegs OF corn
meal. Several men brought their straw
ticks and bedding with them, and Of shoe
boxes, trunks, bags, carpet sag.s and bun
dies, nearly every one had all z an.ed to
carry-all too extremity flthyfor airy hu-
man being to use. Scores IF be men were
50 dirty and black, It was next 70 ilnpossl-
ible to decide whether they we're white o.

There are great number 4 sick among
them, and there seemed q continuing
cough from one end Of theproeession q
the other. Upon the arrival Of each lot.
they were searched, relieyed'of firearms,
Be-, and then shown to Their comfortable
quarters, which all were oul 100 glad to get
into.
