THOU ART COMING SUNNY SPRING
Though we hear the north wind blow,
And though covered DER with snow,
Is each hill and glade,
Thou art coming, gentle spring,
And sweet warblers soon will Hng
In the forests shade.
The soft warm southern breeze
Soon will breathe upon our trees,
And pretty bowers;
How lovely they will seem,
With their waving crowns Of green,
Aud their fragrant flowers.
Old winter, thou wouldstfain
Cast blight springs fair train
She fears thee not;

To be Old and bent, and gay

Thy days are gliding by,
Thou must lay thee down and die,
Yet thou art brave;
Farewell-sprng's gentle showers
Will call forth blooming flowers
To adorn thy grave.

How TO CLEAN SEED-WHEAT.-I

from a western farmer, describing his
wheat, some of which be said was smut

that by washing the seed in brine as
strong as it can be made, will prevent

skim out light wheat, chess, and almost
anything else that may be in the seed,
the strong brine bringing it to the surface
much better than mere water. The wheat
should, while in the brine, be stirred as
long as any foul seed or light wheat ri
SEES; one bushel at once in barrel is
sufficient with plenty of brine; then dip

MANAGEMENT OF SWAMP MUoK.-

MANAGEMENT OF SWAMP MUCK
From the questions we often hear people
ask, and from observation, it is easily
seen that the right management OF muck
is but imperfectly understood. Most peo-
pie that condemn it, find on inquiry the
only trial they have made has been to
pillow it in as fresh dug and drawn from
the swamp. have seen people the past
season dig and draw it two miles, when
dripping with water. Does any one ask,
does this pay q? | answer, no sir A cord
of peat or muck is allowed to contain
from 80 to 80 per cent of water, and
shrinks from two thirds to three fourths
its bulk when dry. twill be easily seen
there is no economy in moving it any
great distance until it has parted with a
large share of its moisture. My own
plan has been to dig in dry weather in
the fall. l dig a ditch, say six feet wide,
throwing the muck in high pile on one
side. | let it remain over the first win
ter, until the second. The frost of the
first winter having acted on it and pull
verified the outside, it will not now freeze
very deep, and the outer crust can be
easily broken with a pick. When the
ground is frozen sufficient to bear a team,
| draw off about 100 loads on TO high
and dry ground, and as | have two miles
to draw it, | let it remain until fall. The
| 100 loads will not now make over 80 or
60 of equal bulk of the former. 1t is
now ready for composing, or it may be
spread on the ground where wanted, and
plowed in the coming spring. 1t should
never be plowed in until it has been
weathered at least two years, and become
pulverized and lost its adhesveness !;
otherwise you may do your land great
damage.
l have met with the most success in
composing with horse manure, horn sha-
wings, fish, and such manures as contain
much ammonia, as they heat the pile and
reduce the mass to plant food. Compost
ing should never be undertaken until the
muck has been weathered and pulver>
lied by the frost. In composing l use
about one quarter animal manure.
In regard to the value of this compost
as a fertilizer or amendment, l consider
it far superior to clear animal manure ;
its lasting qualities are far greater, and Of
a greater value. l have abundant evil
dence to show that the muck or peat |
have used is entirely vegetable sub
stance, and will burn well when dry.

INDUSTRY OF ITALIAN BEEs.-Rev
L. L. Langstroth, sends to the Agricul-
turist the following facts, communicated
to him by VIM. Noah Coler, of Mont.
gomery county, Ohio. On the 9Th OIL
August, 1862, a stock of Italian bees
threw large swarm, which filled its hive
two thirds full of comb, and gathered
honey enough to winter well. The new
colony swarmed on the 10th of May last,
and in eight days swarmed again. The
first swarm filled its hive and swarmed
on the 22d of June; the second swarm
at the same date, had its hive three quar-
tiers full. The season has not been a
good one for bees. In Southern Ohio, a
swarm of black bees coming off as late as
the 8th of July, is seldom considered to
be worth hiving.

The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LINCOLN
AND DAYIs.-Professor Matthew O
West Point, in letter to Mr.. Golden
criticising the unfriendly course Of Eng
land, gives his opinion of President Lin.
coin and President Davis, as set in con-
trast -
"Mr. Lincoln's great defect is, that his
heart too often controls his head. Jefer-
son Davis has many excellent individual
characteristics, but his heart, in all public
matters, never disturbs his brain. They
are both representative men; the one

THINGS WORSE THAN HAVE BEEN RE
PORTED.


PORTED.
The correspondent Of the New York
Herald has arrived at Cincinnati from the
battle field in Georgia, where he witness.
ed the two days fighting. He says that
the official reports of the battle from
Washington are in the main totally false,
and that really the army Of the Cumber-
land has met with defeat which must
put il on the defensive for some time to
come. Gen. Thomas corps is really the
only one which did any fighting. On the
FIRST day it defeated Longstreet with hor-
rible slaughter, driving him in great con.
fusion for over a mile beyond the Chica-
manga river. Longstreet, in a two
hours fight lost one thousand men in
killed, and double that in wounded
McCook's and Crittenden's corps the
same day were both badly beaten and the
enemy broke the center, driving Criten-
den in every direction. The defeat OF
this part of the line caused Thomas to
abandon his field and fall back to protect
his flank and re-establish his line. At
the same time the enemy, not knowing
what he had accomplished, failed to pur-
sue the advantage, and Gems. Wood and
Negley went in on the center and re-es-
tablished that part of the line. The day
was ours, though tie enemy held the
field. We had taken three pieces Of ar
tillery more than we had lost on the first
day. When. Gen. Thomas had defeated
Longstreet on the second day, be saved
the army Of Gen. Rosecrans from ami
hilation. From 10 to II on Sunday, he
fought the enemy, and repused them in
three charges, when finding the assault
in vain, the enemy pushed forward on
the right aud center, and at the first
charge broke Crittenden's and McCook's
lines and routed their entire commands,
driving them in a disgraceful panic into
Rossville and Chattanooga. Gen. Tho

THE WILCOX & GIBBS Family Sewing
Il Sewing Machine, is the best Machine, with
out regard to price for Family Sewing, Braiding,
Hemming, Telling Tucking Cording. 1t forms
a fiat even seam, which will notrip in wear even
when cut at frequent intervals, and makes the
highest and most elastic seam, for Full Cloth, OF
any Machine stitch.
A peculiar feature of this machine, which de-
serves particular attention, is PATENTED De-
VICE, which prevents the possibility of setting
the needle wrong-and one which prevents the
Machine being turned wrong.
The Wilcox g. Gibbs Hemmers and Fellers
are the only real practical Hemmers in use, and
are worth one half of the price of the Machine,
over all others for family use. They form n mar
row. light hem or fell, far nicer than can be done
by hand.
The feed has no tendency to draw soft, light
goods down into the machine, but will sew Linen

night, after the battle had closed. Gen.
Rosecrans had issued orders for all his
troops TO be concentrated with the forces
at Chattanooga. In the last two assaults
our troops Tough. with their bayonets,
their ammunition being exhausted.
The latest information that has reach
ed Washington is from Chattanooga
Monday evening, and was to the effect
that Gen. Rosecrans would concentrate
on Chattanooga Monday night. Gen.
Thomas had been engaged with the en-
envy previous 10 five p. N. Monday, and
it was therefore questionable whether he
would be able to reach Chattanooga that
night. There were indications that the
enemy were contemplating demonstra-
ton on another part Of our line Monday
evening.
REBEL ACCOUNTS AND OPINIONS.
Gen. Graham, just exchanged and ar
rived from Richmond, states that the
news Of the battle fought between Bragg
and Rosecrans was a disappointment 10
he rebel authorities at Richmond, They
expected to hear that Rosecrans had been
annihilated, and that Bragg bad retaken
East Tennessee. Instead of that Rich
mond is in a state of mourning for the
heavy losses that Rosecrans had inflicted
upon Bragg. Sunday evening General
Braxton Bragg announced the result in
dispatch to Richmond as follows -
AFTER Two days hard fighting, we have
driven the enemy, after desperate re-
sistance, from several positions, but be
still confronts us. Losses heavy on both
sides, and especially SO in our officers
We have taken 20 pieces of artillery and
$500 prisoners"
Gen. Graham has communicated i'm
portant information to the government.
He is satisfied that only two divisions Of
Gen. Longstreet's corps with all his al
tillery have been sent TO Bragg. In ad-
dtion to that, two brigades of Gen. Pick
e; and the Wise Legion were all detach-
ed to reinforce Bragg. Gen. Graham
says that he saw eighty one pieces Of
cannon moving across the bridge from
Richmond, said to be going to Bragg.
A dispatch from Pond Spring, Geor,
gia, 17th inst, to the Louisville journal
says The southern journals claim a
largely superior force. l have just seen
late Chattanooga Rebel, now published
at Marietta, Ga. Ii contains call from
the governor of the state for all who can
supply themselves with arms to repair
to their nearest railroad stations for tran
sportation to Bragg's army. The COVER
nor informs the people that he has al
ready sent forward fifteen thousand men.
The Rebel exults over the effects of the
call, saying that the stations are alive
with men who desire to be sent forward
to Bragg. Lees corps has already join
ed Bragg"
The rebel loss in the battles, according
to the Richmond Wing, is 5000, inclu-
ding many valuable officers. Among the
killed are Brigodier Gen. Preston Smith
of Tennessee, Brig. Gen. Wolord of Ga.
Brig. Gen. Waltham of Miss, and Brig
Gems, Helm and Deshler. Among the
wounded are, Brig. Gems. Adams, Brum
Brown, Gregg, Preston, Cleburn, and
Benning. Major Gen. Hood, who was
wounded, has since died.

CULTIVATION OF FRUIT TREES
The most practicable way to keep fruit
trees growing, is simply to put a quantity
of the damaged worthless straw of the
barnyard around each one every year
sufficient to keep the weeds and grass
from growing. This is much easier than
cultivating them, and / find by expert
ence they will grow from one to two feet
a year, even though the land around them
is in grass or grain. l have no trouble
with mice, by taking the straw from the
trunk in the fall, and placing a small
mound of dirt around them.

ment of Gen. Granger, to hold position
until nightfall covered his retreat to Ross
vile.
The correspondent left the field at Z p.
m. Sunday night, and Chattanooga the
noon of Monday. Rosecrans was falling
back on Chattanooga where he was per
fectly safe from all Gen. Bragg could do.
His lines Of communication were per-
lectly secure, and he had plenty Of ann
mLniton and provisions in Chattanooga
to stand a months siege. The result is
virtually defeat to US, as we have lost
tremendously in material, not less than
fifty pieces of artillery falling into the
hands of the enemy, though Bragg's ar.
my only receipts for twenty. The rebel
loss in killed and wounded will exceed
our own. In killed, he has lost double
our number. Though Rosecrans was in
10 danger at the time the correspondent
left Chattanooga, the danger to Burnside
was very imminent.
WHAT THE REBELS SAY.
Richmond papers of the 22d have been
received at Washington. The Enquirer,
in a leader headed "victory in Georgia, y
says that Charleston and Chattanooga
are the only points where the enemy pre-
sent the least appearance of fight
Defeated at Chattanooga and driven back
upon Nashville, the Vallandgham men
would carry the election in Ohio next
month with little difficulty. The peace
men in the United States would once
more assert their manhood, and speak
out as they did before the late disasters
had choked their utterance but it is not
among the peace men of the United
States that victory at Chattanooga
would most tell upon the cause. Here
at home its effect will be the greatest
1t will reanimate our people. The army
needs but little termination, but the peo-
pie have not experienced the same hard
ships the army has, and they are more
easily made respondent. The army ne

itself it is able to bear it's fortunes, and
