"DELENDA EST GALVESTON" is now the cry OF all
tie catos or Catifs of Lincolndom In order to wipe
of the disgrace of their gnominious defeat at that
point they swear by the Great Goose that Galveston
must be wiped out as completely as was Carthage
They insist that General MAGRUDER must have been
drunk when he captured their feet and raised the
blockade of Galveston with cotton huks and horsema
rnes therefore do they intend to sober him by sending
vast force sufficient to wipe him out and the city Of
Galveston with him. as aforesaid
They likewise say-the Catos and catifs aforesaid
that the conduct of the gunboats Palmetto and Chico
"a, in running their noses between the ribs OF the Mer-
ceda and other Federal vessels off Charleston must be
avenged "-earfuly, awfully and preposterousy
avenged"

Our friend has forgotten to mention the night when
the phenomenon to which he refers presented ITSELF but
we suppose it must have been some time in the first
half of last week Can anybody give US any further
information on the subject? Was it actually cross

rangements of the aurora borealis, or of luminous
clouds, which suggest almost any form to lively

We regret to learn that the schooner INDUSTRY from
Nassau for this port was taken and burnt last week
by the bockaders We think she was destroyed not far
from ropsa Inlet. The officers and crew ed. The
INDUSTRY had a cargo of salt, which constitutes the
chief loss.
The Yal kets give out that Savannah is to be at
tackled before Charleston. Their giving this out leads
US to doubtit We don't think the enemy have any
idea of wasting their strength to do what would ad-
vantage them little nothing Savannah is no longer
port. No vessels 60 in out. The Yankee posses
sion of Fort Pulaski of itself seals the
entrance OF the Savannah river as eectuay as could
be sealed and preve the Conderates receiving any
supplies from abroad by way of Savannah. There
might be some little prestige gained by the capture of
Savannah but the other hand there would be risk
of losing prestige should the attack upon that place
fail
The really important points at which the enemy in
tends to aim bis main blows between and June are
probably.f not certainly, Charleston, Mobile and Will
mngton On the coast Vicksburg and Port Hudson on
the Mississippi, ard Richmond in the interior. To
these, other points secondary. The seaports we
have named are the only ones now Of any to the
Contederates seaports. The circumstances which
confer Importance upon Richmond and Vicksburg are
known to all Let us keep eyes especially directed
to the five six points above referred to, and we will
find solution to all the otherwise mysterious move
ments of the enemy.

On Saturday night ITALIAN Hall was denseIy packed

men of the ITALIAN Association for the benefit OF The
Smiville sufferers, which happy to believe viii
turn out to be indeed substan tial benefit
Where the performers are all volunteers and all gen.

necessarily involve comparisons would be obviously out
of place. Wa only say that, whole, the play
of the "Heir at Law" went off much more smoothly than
could have been expected from an amateur association
after limited preparation end comparatively few rehear-
sails by most OF those taking part in its presentation
Much OF the acting would have done high credit to the
regular stage, while all was respectable, and neither
failure blunder marred the unity of the performance

The White Willow.

As many of our farmers intend to
try the white willow this Spring, the
following mode Of cultivation for a
fence, may prove interesting:
lst Plow and thoroughly pulverize
space six burrows wide.
Cd. Sink the centre furrow, or the
one directly under the line of fence, at
least fourteen inches deep fill about
three inches with well rotted manure
then close the ground by back furrow.
ing on each side. Drag lightly.
Sd. Sort your cuttings and stick
them in the ground perpendicular, in
a straight line, from eight to twelve
inches apart.
4th. If the ground is very dry,
mulch with coarse manure if not.
cultivate as you would corn-being
careful not to disturb the fibrous
roots near the plants.
5th. Stock of all kinds should be
kept from them the first year. The
second year after setting they should
be mulched.
9th. They should not be- cut Or
trimmed until large enough to turn
out for a fence.
