Farmers Educate Your Sons

We have ever thought, that if there
was profession in the world of which
a man had just right to be proud, it
was that of the farmer; and yet no class
in the community place so low an esti-
mate upon their calling as farmers them
selves. Why is this? Has the idea
that mere physical force is the only es-
sential qualification of the man who tills
the earth, obtained such hold Of the
minds of our people, that the thought
Of ever placing agriculture in loftier
position has been utterly abandoned :?
+ We hope not; and yet with many this
appears to be the case. Is it not lament
able, in an age like ours, that any such
absurd and positively injurious notions
should prevail? Who is prepared to es-
innate the pecuniary losses actually sus-
tanned by the encouragement OF such
nonsense Millions upon millions are
annually lost by the cultivation Of too
much land, the over-stoc&ing of farms,
errors in the rotation of crops, the en-
tire abandonment of farm accounts, the
ignoring Of all improved implements, &c.
When will all farmers awake to a true
sense of their own interest? When will
they, as unit, resolve to place their
profession where it deserves to stand, at
the very head and front? Why should
| it not? What other profession involves
so much of the scientific as we'll as the
practical? What branch of science is
not more or less intimately connected
with, and what profession holds out SC
MANY inducements to the man Of inquir.
inc mind-to the observer and admirel
Of natures works, and to him who, i
he have no higher object, seeks to amas'
fortune? ? None that we know of, tina
may be called legitimate. Why, then
farmers, will you not one and all improve
the golden opportunities so freely at
forded you? Why not educate YOU
sons to believe that the calling of the
farmer is ennobling and remunerative
fit be but intelligently pursued? Point
them to the men, who, discarding the
pernicious idea already referred to, have
entered upon the great work Of placing
agriculture in its proper position.
Have they not earned a reputation
which will live when the ephemeral no
toriety of politicians and spectators vii
have passed from the mind of the world
Bustle and Skinner, Downing and vii
der Bartram and Peters, all hold a higl
place in the hearts of the lovers of ag
riculture-a place which can never b.
usurped. Educate your sons to love
this profession of their fathers, and yo'
will confer blessing not only upol
them, but upon the world Farmer d

WISCONSIN REGIMENTS IN THE EX-
PEDITIoN UP WHITE RvER.-The 29th
Wisconsin, Col. Lewis, and the 29th,
Col Gill, formed a portion of the recent
expedition up White River, Arkansas.
A correspondent of thesChicago Times,
accompanying the expedition, writing
on the 18th ult., says:
"Col. Lewis, of the 2Sth Wisconsin,
is in command of the fort at St, Charles.
He has there a sufficient force to hold
the place. A gunboat, with sixteen Dahl
gren and parrot guns, lies in the river
opposite the town. The rebels sank
three steamers in the stream just below
the town, but they have been cleaned
out so boats can pass, if careful. The
town itself is on table about one hun
dred feet above the river The earth
works of the rebels, with several shat
tered houses, destroyed by our guns,
stand as monuments of war"

RADICAL VIEW OF THE WAR.-lt is
said that the purport Of the declarations
made by part Of the Massachusetts del
egation now in Washington to the Pres
ident, is that the radicals, as they are
called, are willing to go any length what,
ever to carry on the war, if convinced
that we are fighting for something, and
under leadership in the Cabinet and
field, of men who want to conquer, bui
that if the war is only to so on IN the same
aimless way they say it has for the past
two years they think the country has
had about enough of it.
We think so too. All that the radi-
Gals want and ever have wanted, is tha
the war shall be carried on in earnest
and with view to conquering the rebel
lion by military force, and in the speed
lest and most summary manner possible
They care nothing for Slavery nor tol
the negroes, one way or the other-ex
cept only that they stand in the way 0

TREASON IN CONGRESS- Henry May,
of Baltimore, to-day made the most
reasonable speech yet delivered in Con-
gress since the rebels left two years ago.
He declared openly that ''the rebellion
now stood before God and man as a
revolution against the most direful op-
preston" The House seemed toreceive
this avowal of treason without excite
ment 1t is the first time since the re-
bellion broke out that any man in or
out of Congress, has dared fully to just
ify the war of the traitors against the
government. Even Powell, of Ken
lucky, said the other day in the Senate
that the rebels chad done wrong" Hen
ry May says in the House of Represent
atives that God and man justify the CON
duct of the rebels It is often remarked
here that before the government pro
ceeds to arrest the newspaper editors in
the free States, Congress should purge
itself of open and avowed traitors
There is no longer a question in the
case of Henry May. He claims for him
self the name of rebel and traitor, by
defending the rebellion on the floor Of
the House Wash. Cor. ~ 7. Ere.

VICTIM OF INTEMPERANcE.--T The fend
of the bottle is cleaning a great harvest.
His victims are taken from all walks of
life, for broad is the drunkard's road to
destruction. A few years ago Edward
S. Terry, Of New York, was lawyer of
eminence and ability, moving in good
society, and at one time law partner of
the famous Charles O'Conner, of New
York Bar. Terry tarried at the wine
cup, and a few days ago was found dead
at a low drinking house, another sacri-

From the Cleaveland Herald, 4th.
Where's my Baby ?

The train from Toledo arrived this
morning with heavy load of passen-
gers, few minutes before the time for
the Eastward bound train to start
Among the passengers was a lady with
a multitude Of small packages and a
baby. On descending from the Toledo
cars, she was notified that she had to
hurry up or she wonld miss the train.
Hugging the baby with one arm, she
endeavored to grasp her package with
her disengaged hand, but they were too
much for her. Do what she would, there
was always one band-hox or one pack
age too many The precious moments
were flying fast, and the conductor Of
the Lake Shore train was shouting call
aboard. " At that moment good Sa-
maratin, in the shape of we'll dressed
man, volunteered to take charge OF the
baby whilst she gathered up her pack
ages She gave him the child, and he ran
off with it to secure seat, whilst she
followed with her bundles and boxes.
AS soon as she had picked up her traps
and reached the cars, she looked out
for the man with her baby He was
nowhere to be seen. She climbed into
car and rushed through it, but saw no
man with baby. Out on the platform
again she darted in and out among the
crowd, shrieking, "where's my baby p
The bystanders inquired what the
trouble was, but she gave no explanation
except that man had got her baby
In an instant all was excitement. Ev-
erybody rushed in diferennt directions
shouting, ''where's the womans baby =
the woman herself laden down with
bundles and band boxes which she clung
to in all her trouble, ran around shrek
ing, where my baby?" Depot officers
Clark Warren and Van Husen searched
every car, and sternly ordered severa
men with children in their arms to ''give
up the woman's baby while the con
ductor kept shouting frantica'ly, 'al
aboard" "
Presently a man, in state Of wilc
excitement, carrying baby giving am
pie evidence of lungs and windpipe il
excellent order, came rushing through
the crowd shouting, "where $ that WON
an? Has any body seen woman wh'
gave me this contounded baby?
The announcement is easily foreseen
Mother and child met. The boxes anc
bundles were dropped, and the bah!
overwhelmed with kisses. Officer ClarI
Warren politely lifted mother and ehilo
into the car, while the conductor pickee
up the bundles, and shouted, ''all aboard.

THE WAY TO KEEP PoTAToEs.-A A
writer in the Germantown Telegraph
gives his views upon keeping and pre-
serving potatoes as follows:
II will hazard the assertion that free
zing will not injure potatoes, or any
ether root or fruit; it is the thawing
which does the damage, and not the
freezing, as is generally supposed. Nor
will gradual thawing hurt them: it is
only when the thawing is too sudden,
that they are injured. If we take two
frozen potatoes, apples, or other fruit,
and place one under the stove, and the
other in water a little above the freezing
point, we will find that the former will
be spoiled, while the latter is not in
iured. because with it the thawing is
done gradually. Potatoes may be heap
ed up in the patch and covered with
two or three inches of dirt, we'll packed
down. and they will keep in spite of a
dozen freezings and thawings, if kept
dry. If kept in the cellar, it should
be in tight box with a lid, that they
may always be in the dark, to prevent
sprouting; for if they once begin tc
sprout, the starch which gives them then
mealiness is changed into other com
pounds, more favorable to the vegetation
of the sprouts If, while the potatoes
are in the cellar, they should freeze, dc
not wait for them to thaw, but cover
them with straw, old clothes, shaving;
or saw-dust, and let them thaw very
gradually, and they will come out good
This will apply to turnips OF any Other
root, as well as to apples and other fruits
The main item is to keep them dry, anc
if buried, to provide drains to carry
away the water from the heap.
