Suggestions and Notes for the Month.

The glory of the year is at its height -
There is a gorgeous display Of colors in tho
woods which beautifully contrasts with the
sombre hue of the cleared fields, though II
is the hectic flush that betokens the compile
tion of the decay which is already marring
the landscape. The sun looks askant upon
the changing scene, and is slowly transfer
ring his favors to other lands; the birds,
like gay courticrs, follow to enjoy his smiles;
the hum Of insects is no longer heard-thcy
have sought safe quarters for their winter 70
pose; gentle haze fills the air, and all things
inspire thoughtiulncss. The reflections OF
the husbandman will naturally turn to a sur
vey Of tho years operations. In the main,
the season has been one OF average fruitful
ness, though somo complain Of a late Spring
and too feryid Summer.
WORK FOR THE FARM. HOUSEHOLD. &C.
Take time by the iorclock this month. But
little growth will now be made by any sum-
mor crops. and without scasonable attention
some OF them may ba destroyed or injured by
frost. In addition to gathering the corn,
sorghum, roots, &C., preparations may be
needed for safely storing them. 10 sapc q
crop often requires as much forethought as
to raise it. There should bo q general clear

over and the surplus disposed Of, tools safely
housed, and every thing mado snug: then,
when the blast comes whistling from the
North. tho farmer will be prepared to answer

surrounded with comfort and rejoicing in the
sense Of security.

cured, and preserve the stalks for feeding to
sheep or horses, for which they arc good fod.

NEw Poor OF VALLANpronAN's TREASON.
We append q letter from vallandigham
which was recently captured In Tennessee
among the baggage and private papers Of
the rebel officer to whom It was addressed
It is the most striking proof yet adduced of
the treason Of the man who has been so en-.
phatically ropudiated by the people Of Ohio,
although 1t Is in perfect keeping with his
whole course since tho outbreak Of tho re-
bellion. We cannot say, looking ut tho
enormous majority which is to DO put on
record, that Ohio has made narrow escape
from being turned over into tho hands Of
traitor, but this letter will show that the
escape was decided and happy opo:

OCTOBER.

On hin and field 0ctober's glories fade,
Der hill and field the blackbirds southward ny
The brown leaves rustic down the forest glade,
Where naked branches make htful shade,
And the last bloom OF Autumn withered lie.
Tho berries on the hedserow ripen we'll
Holly and cedar. burning bush and brieri
The partridge drums In some half hidden dell,
Where all the ground I, gemmcd with leaves tina
fell
Last storm from the tall naples crown Of fire.
The chirp Of cricket and the hum OF bees
Came faintly up from marsh and meadow land,
Where reeds and bushes whisper in the breere,
And sunbeams slant between the moss grown trees
Green on the grass, and golden on the sand.
From many tree whose tangled boughs are bare
Lean the rich clusters Of the clambering vine
October's mellow hases dim the air
Along the uplanas and the valley, where
The distant stecples Of tho village shine.
Adown the brook tho dead leaves whirling goi
Above the brook the scarlet sumacs burn;
The lonely heren sounds his note Of woe
In gloomy forest swamps, where rankly grow
The crimson cardinal and feathery tern.
Autumn is sad q cold blue horizon
Darkly eneircles checkered fields and farms.
Where late the gold OF ripening harvests shone;
But bearded grain and fragrant hay are gone,
AndAutumn mourns the loss Of Summers charms
Yet, though our Summers change and pass away
Though dies the beauty OF the hill and plain
Though warmth and color hde with every day
Hope passes not, and somethin. seems to say
That all our brightest joys shall come again.
And IL the flowers wo nurture with such caro-
Must withor, though believed with many tears,
They shall arise in some dlviner air,
To bloom again, moro fragrant and more fair,
And gladden. US through all the coming years.
Tho sun sinks slowly toward the far-of westi
The breeze Is freshenlng from the Ar.otf shore
SO come, fair eve, and bring each weary breast
That sense Of tranquil joy, OF gentle rest,
Felt in the happy Autumns gone before

The DRAYT.-We are glad to find that the
proper authority has over-ruled Provost Marshal
General Frye's decision that drafted man
could not, after an examination by the surgeon,
if not exempt from physical disability, then pay
the $500. This was manifestly an unwse and
unjust decision, and should never have been
made The law is now construed as 1t should
have been at first, and a drafted person may
submit himself to An examination, and after
that, if be is not otherwise exempt, may pro-
cure his exemption by paying $500, or by offer
ing an acceptable substitute.
