CULTURE OF THE RASPBERRY.-Th best
plan for raspberry culture is to make the soil
right at first by deep digging and draining,
and afterwards mulch heavily without stirring
the soil, pulling up by hand what few weeds
appear. This we have always found to be
the best practice, and finding the same system
advocated by Rev. w. f. Radcliff, in the En-
gliSh Florist and Pomologist, we give por-
ton of the article. Speaking of raspberry
bed that had been forked up pretty deeply in
the spring, he says :-'Now, | ask any man
how he can expect to have crop Of raspber-
res after this fashion? Not only are the old
roots broken, but the new sp0ngioles are bro
ken also; and the roots being turned up to
sun and wind, of course the crop dwindles
away. Hence man comes to the abb
surd conclusion that the garden will not
bear strawberries and raspberries. Look
at the gardens of England generally, and you
will find that, excepting in wet, dripping sum
mers, there are neither of these fruits New
er disturb the ground at all; hand-weed and
cover the whole soil with stable litter from
the horse, with little black manure round the
stools, and you will have more raspberries
than you know what to do with. If the sum-
mer is very sultry give each stool one bucket
of water twice week. A raspberry lives by
suction. From three to five canes are enough,
and these should be cut down to three feet.
You will get as much fruit by this height as
if you left them eight feet high. In a word,
the dormant eyes at the base will break,
protect the young canes, and keepoff the sun.
Mine are strong and cut to an average of two
feet nine inches. l have only one sort, the
Becpot, (red,) which with this treatment new
er fails The crop last year was enormous );
but, for want of sun, lacking in flavor. I'm
der proper treatment, it cannot be too hot for
raspberries and strawberries. Weak liquid
manure and Peruvian guano-one small
handful to a stable bucket of water-will
greatly assist. With regard to forking
the ground, | must observe that l have
not moved mine for the last four or
five years. If you do move your ground,
instead of your new canes coming up close
to your stools you will have them all over
the bed. Keep all the runners down except
those close to the stools. The closer the
ground is kept down the greater will be the
crop. High manuring, upon an undlsturbed
surface, are two main features in growing
| raspberries and strawberries. No man tears
out the stomach and entrals of his horse and
pig in order to fatten them; but this is whata
man does when he despoils the roots and root
lets of his plants. 1 think the best distance is
yard from plant to plant and from row to
row.-Moore'S Rural AeW Yorker.

The So-CALLED % GREEK FIRE USED AT CHARLES

The So-CALLEp . GREEK FIRE USED AT CHARLES
ToN-The Chicago Tribune remarks:
Gen. Gillmore's Greek fire is introducing n sensa-
ton into Charleston, and that from a distance Of
over Ave miles. And it is but history repeating
itself, for the Christian era was but young while
human warfare was using the same terrible agency
Of hurling flames un9uencbable upon the adversary
ard his works. Thus navies were destroyed when
war-ships were but slow cared barges, and cstapults
the best approach 10 modern artillery. If Gen.
Beauregsrd is disposed to complain of the use of
Greek fire. our commander can plead classic prece-
dents, and stife rebel complaints with Anthem and
Eachenburg.
The Greek fire shell in use at Charleston is, we
learn, the n-vention-patented a few months since
of a citizen of Buffalo, and adopted by the Govern
ment. The base of the terrible agent is petroleum,
chemically combined with other highly i~niammable
Ingredients. the whole forming an utterly inextin-
guishable compound, which, once united, burns
triumphant over all ordinary means of ouenchiug
fire, burns even in water, and can only be put out
by being burnt out. This fearful war agent is COM
bined in a light metallic chamber, enclosed in the
common form of percussion she'll, that, itself dis
charged by striking the object aimed at, ignites the
fire, which is scattered broadcast, its "a mes giving a
new terror 10 the perils Of war.

How many Of the gentlemen who have
been urging the holding Of a general
election over this State, would be willing
TO take their lives in their hands, and
address the people at the various county
seats, and the usual places Of public
speaking, on the Importance of resto-
ration Of civil government? Do not the
events Of the past fortnight ia Middle
and West Tennessee clearly show The inn
pfacticAbility Of organizing civil gov
eminent in Tennessee, until the armed
enemies of civil government shall be put
down by force? II is worthy of notice
that the greatest troubles recently have
been in ihe very places where few votes
were pollsd last August. There were a
few hundred votes polled in West Ton-
nessee. and to-day Union men are flying
from that region for their lives, while
bands of guerillas roam about plumber
ing and numbering all who are suspected
of loyalty. A few votes were cast in
Bedford county, and yesterday it was
reported that body of rebel cavalry
were in Shslbyville, and that half the
town had been burned. This may be
untrue, but we know that large rebel
force was in the vicinity. These facts
clearly indicate that premature attempts
to resorgsnize civil government in the
STATE would not only prove fail
ure, but would endanger the per-
sonal safety, lives and property of all
men who should avow themselves friends
of the Federal Government at the polls.
The blood of loyal men, and of our best
loyal men, would redden the soil Of eve
ry county in Tennessee. Do candidates
for Office expect to canvass the State, as
In former times, or will they shelter
themselves simply behind Federal guns,
and under the shadow of Federal forts,
while the people risk their lives at the
ballot boxY While we ardently desire
to sec the machinery of State Govern
ment again moving in all its parts, we
feel that this is no season for elections
There is powerful armed enemy on our
frontier, at least one hundred thousand
strong, and his allies, the guernllas, are
securing all portions Of the State. These
are foes not to be voted down, but fought
down by the armies of the United States.

have no idea that be will.
The letter to which the writer alludes
is the one in which Nelson ingloriously
struck his flag, and went over soul and
body TO the rebels. But there was no
weeping among Tennessee Union men
over its unpatriotic and unmanly words.
There was universal disgust and con-
tempt II would be well for Mr.. Nell

allegiance 10 the band of miscreants
who have hung, shot, cast in Jail, and

upon him as their leader; but the people

can never regain their confidence. When
80 many humble mountaiueers were Civ

Churchwell's rage, could not the weak

and foriitude from their expiring groansI
Heaven preserve us from all such feeble
leaders in future! They have nearly
ruined the country.

The rebels admit loss Of about 5000
ia the battle of Ohickamauga, but they
probably lost not less than 10000. An
eye-wiiness describes the carnage and
slaughter made by our artillery among
the rebels as absolutely horrible. We
LOST. heavily Also but while we mourn
for The dead, let US remember that the
Republic has mighty source Of recupe-,
ration, which the detested Slave Oonfed-
erscy has not, and cannot have. We are
receiving over $4,000 immigrants from
Europe annually, and, angular to relate,
the immigration has increased as the
war progresses. The South dos not get
an imnigrant, lolile thousands are flying
from her soil. Suppose the war should
last two years longer: in that time the
United States will have received near
half million ofimmigrants from Europe,
in addition to its natural growth of pop
ulAtiOn, while the South will have lost
perhaps one hundred thousand of her
white population by exile; some settling
in the North, and many Of the wealthier
ones going oil to Europe. Our present
numerical strength is far greater than
thAtof the South, being over three to one,
and il will be seen that our relative SUI
periOrity will be far greater in the course
of two years more. The longer the war
shall continue, the more this difference
will increase in our favor.
