HoRrICULrURAL.-There was fine display
of currants at the last exhibition Of the horti-
cultural society, although it was somewhat
early for the display of this fruit in all its ex
cellence. As the premiums are not to be
awarded however, until the 23d inst, COM
petitors will be enabled to present specimens
of complete maturity. The committee con-
sists of Messrs. George Chandler, John NJ.
Earle, and James +. Allen. The exhibitors
and their specimens were as follows;
John c. Ripley-Currants: Cherry. Fertile
of Paluan, White Dutch, La Hative, Victo-
ria, Long Bunched Red, La Versaillaise, Red
Dutch
Newell Wood, (of Millbury, ).-Currants :
La Versallaise, Cherry.
Edward S. Stebbins: White Cap, Currants,
Cherry.
0. b. Hadwen--C urrants Gloire de Sab
lous, Cherry, White Gondouin. Also Doolit-
tie and Improved Black Cap, and White Cap.
The society was also much indebted to Mr..
Lewis Rabbit, the enterprsing dealer at No.
IA Front street, for basket of apples, in
perfect state of preservation; of mild, sub
acid flavor, for which Mr.. Babbitt sought
name. None of the members were prepared
to say what it was. Mr.. B. said that they
grew upon gratis procured from person by
the name OF Ward, some twenty odd years
ago, then living in Worcester. The apple
might be christened bya worse name, and the
suggestion is commended to the grower.
A few flowers were exhibited. j. NJ. Earle
had Spirea Dillardii, and Callosa; also Lii
lum Canadense and Croceum. Horatio
Phelps, thirty-three varieties OF Carnation
Pinks-seedlings grown by himself.
Mr.. Charles Richardson and Miss Fannie
A. Richardson, of Worcester, were admitted
members of the society.
By a vote of the committee of arrangements
exhibition on the 23d inst =
For the best collection Of plants and flowers 80 90
I'd best 90
Best six plants in pots. 90
Best collection of cut flowers. 90
Best pair of bouquets. 90
The committee are actuated by desire to
make the weekly exhibitions more attractive
than they would be, if limited as they now are
practically, to fruit. They have the assur-
ance of one of our largest horticulturists that
the ladies who may visit the hall, will have
an opportunity of beholding a collection of
plants that will well repay their trouble, and
it is hoped that his efforts to augment the
interest in the society will not be left I'M
aided.
The secretary will be at the hall on Thurs
day, the 23d inst, from IL to II A. NJ, and
from to 9 P. NJ, to receive the entries of
contributors. The hall will be open to the
public from to 5 JPN.

BLACK HAWK, OFF VIcKsBURG, July l4.-To
Hon. Gideon Wells Hearing that General
Johnston was fortifying Yazoo city with heavy
guns, and gathering troops there for the pur-
pose of obtaining supplies for his army from
the 1azoO country; also that the remainder
of the enemys best transports were then
showing possibility of his attempt to escape.
Maj. Gen. Grant and myself determined to
send a naval and military expedition up there
to capture them. The Baron DE Kalb, New
National, Kenwo0d, and Signal were dis
patched under command of lieutenant COM
handing John G. Walker with force of
five thousand troops under Major General

after finding out their strength dropped back
to notify Gen. Heron, who Immediately land

combined attack on the enemy's works. The
rebels soon fled, leaving everything in our
possession, and set fife to four of their finest
steamers that ran on the Mississippi river in
times past The army pursued the enemy
and captured their rear guard of 260 men,

Six heavy guns and one vessel, formerly
gunboat, tell into our hands, and all the mu-
nitions of war. Unfortunately, while the ram
DeKalb was moving slowly, she ran foul of a
torpedo which exploded and sank her. There
was no sign of anything of the kind to be seen.
While she was going down, another exploded
under her stern. The water is rising fast in
the Yazoo, and we can do nothing more
than get the guns out of her, and then get
her into into deep water where she will be
undisturbed until we are able to raise her.
The officers and men lost everything.

THE TRIPLE PLoT.-The New York Even
ing Post says the government is in possession
of correspondence between the four princi-
pal military chiefs of the rebellion-Beaure
gard, Lee, Bragg and Adj. Gen. Cooper-re
vealing a threefold plot, which has ignomini-
ously failed in all its parts. Lee, with the
flower of the southern army, was to march
into Pennsylvania and keep Hooker's army
fully occupied. Bragg and Beauregard were
to detach portion of their chosen troops for
a simultaneous attack on Washington. Sub
sequently Beauregard wrote that on account
of federal movements against Charleston he
could spare no men for northern campaign.
Bragg, too, pleaded that he had been COM
PEELED to send Joe Johnston ten thousand men
already, and>that Rosecrans was pressing him
SO hard that he, too, must Withhold his fingers
from all northern pies. The draft riots were
the third branch of the plot, which it was in
tended should prove a destructive fire in the
rear simultaneously with the well-laid schemes
of the rebels in front. These twenty summer
days have shown upon what shifting sands
their hopes were built.

confederacy between the ages Of eighteen and
forty-five years, who are not exempted by
law, and commanding them to repair at once
to the conscript camps of their respective
states, under pain of being held and punished

one hundred and twenty thousand men have
been lost to the confederate service during
the last month, by capture, surrender and
death.

world of journalism in disgust, occasionally
comes back to express his bitterness against
nearly the only men who have had rational
notions about the war from the START 1t
doesn't seem as if the persecution of the col
ored citizens of New York would have been
a very telicitous text; but the old man seized
it with kind of frenzy, and at once
attaches the blame-to the mob? Not by
any means; but to the aboltionists, whom he
cordially hates. His logic on tile subject has
a kind of St. Vitus dance. What else could
be expected? Experience" says Carlyle,

but she teaches US none other" Yet though
she teaches never so wisely such bat-eyed

resolutely blindfolding their clenched eyelids,
lest some light of reason or of history, should
find its way to their obscure vision.
