The Washington Chronicle says, "Our ad~

the effect that Lee has retired his army to his

about three miles beyond Manassas Junction.

Sow Glover Among oatas

Sowing clOver-seed among oats to
plow under as a manure should be-
more extensively practiced by our
farmers. Clover-seed sown among
our crops would return more fertil-
izing vegetable matter to the soil
for the trouble and expense, than
any other substance that can be used
as manure. If cloverseef can be-
had as low as SO per bushel, I do
not hesitate to SOW three quarts to-
the acre among my oats. IF cheap
er, / sow a great deal more. Three
quarts to an acre would be. an ex-'
pense of SO 3-4 cents, at the price
of so per bushel. In ordinary sea-
sons of rain and sunshine, from the
first of April till the FIRST Of Septem-
Der, clover will yield from two to-
three pounds of tops and roots to
the square yard. I carefully dug
up with a.dung-fork square yard
of clover grown between the above
dates, and separated the dirt from
the roots and found the weight to be-
three pounds, which multiplied by
1910, the number of square yards
to an acre, making seven tons and q
quarter of vegetable matter return
ed to the soil for the trihing Odtlay
of eighty cents per acre, and TWEEN
ty minutes labor of sowing the seed.
Oats is considered an exhausting
crop, but my theory Of the matter
is, after the crop is taken off, the
stubble, in hot, drV weather, if left.
unploughed for a length of time, is
more exhausting, through some at
mospheric agency, thaR the extract
made by the growing of the crop Of
oats. Glover, if growing among
oats, after the oats is harvested, viii
present a green color, which VIII be
less powerfully acted upon by the
hot, parching sun, and viii retain
the morning dew, ands IN a great
measure, prevent the exhausting ef
feet generally attributed to the
growth of crop of oats.

A w& Democrat on the Proclamation

Senator Gioesbeck, War Democrat made
a speech at Cleveland last Friday night, in
which he said
If the rebellion should succeed, there you'd
be war in The midst of the North, here in
Ohio and all around Already schemes are on
foot for the separation of the West from the
East. lie vas Tor the Wtst in the Union
lie d d not Hunt the Ntst broken into two
parties one part attached to the tail Of a
Northern aud the other to the tail of South
ern Conftderacy. He wanted The West the
centre Of the Whole Union. He did not want
he West separated from the East 1t shall
not lie separated from the South. Ii must re
main the heart, the body, and the soul Of all
the U nion.
With regard to the Proclamation, he ron
sidered it a question Of policy, and had doubt
ed its policy, but was uuable to comprehend
how any constitutional question came into it.
The Proclamation refers to persons only
1t does not Interfere with the Constellation
or internal arrangements of any State. Ii
simply deals with persons, and holds out in
ducements to these persons not to assist the
rrbels. The COnsti ution provides for war
power to preserve the life OF the nation, and it
is in The exercise of Ills war power that the
proclamation was put forth. There is no lin
il, to the war power, when u ed to defend tue
life of the mutton. Ii the proclamation abu!-
ished slavery or charged the Consultation ol
State, il might be unconstitutional, but ii
simply provides for the taking of the properly
of the rebels, having the laws and constitu
tiuns Of the States untouched.
The Proclamation of itself does not make
the slaves free. Tie slaves must Of themselves
render that assistance 10 the UIi iou which is
contemplated by the Proclamation, or they
canrGt enj"y its benefits. They must work
out their own freedom under The Proelnma-
tion, but do uot obtain it simply by that doc
umrnt. The Proclamation does not violate
either the Constitution of the United States
or the Law of Nations. Whether the Proc
rInatiou be wise or unwise. whether it be
right or wrong, he stood by the Union.
He deprecated any party policy that would
conflict with the cause Of the Union. If there
is a policy that should be cherished fas'eu il
to the Union flag and it shall be preserved
Stand by everything that is Tor the Union,
duwn with everything that is against it.

The Rect of the Conspiracy,

! 1t is well never to lose sight of the real
source of the sav"holders' conspiracy-mor
| fl, quenty term, the rebelHon-for then we
/. shall always be aware of its terrible nature
and scope, and shall not be so Likely TO fail in
its proper treatment. The outbreak was not
an accident. or a sndden freak of passion, but
the development of a full purpose. Of a pre-
arr anged conspiracy Its root Was the in
creasing conviction that savery could not
stand in popular government in this age OF
the world. Hence arose the determination on
the part Of the Shareholders to break away
from this government established by our faith
ers, and TO SET up unother wi'h-as Alexander
Fl. Stephens, Of Georgia, acknowledged sa-
very for is chief cor er stone"
Abundant proofs of this po. ition are to be
found in the confessions of the lead;ag minds
Of tie South. Mr. GaFueit, of Virginia says,
in letter recently captured in South Carroll
ma. g Democracy, in lis original philosophical
sense, is incompatible with slavery and the
whole system Of Southern s, ciety" De Bow's
ReUicuc declares that those pestileut and per-
nicious dogrnas-' the grea lest good of the
greatest humber the majority shall rule
are, in their practical application, ihe fright
ul source OF disorders never TO de quieted,"-
The same writer concludes that tire Institution
of an hereditary Senate aud Executive is the
political form " best suited TO the geniHs aud
most expressive Of The ideas Of the South"
Col. Hamilton of Texas, tcstifes that these
doctrines have spread throughnnt the SoUsh to
such an extent within twenty-five years that
freedom of opinion was enireiy extinguished.
MIR. Sherwood, long resident of Texas, in a
recent pharnphlet. thus qnotes Mr.. Spratt, the
noted =outh Carolina srccssionfsf:
He assumed That There was no man in the
South who deserved fhe name of statesman
who would pretend thai secession was caused
by any aggression Of the Worth urOn the
riahrs Of the Suulh- that il was still less the
resah Of any act of cppr ssion on the part of
the Uni I'd Slat's Cover IT. thft the
reason was because Of the fIe =, c il iho o.
gauiza'ion Of society N'rth s ulh'-.it
was becuuse in tile no -sla, eho ding States,
from the very fact that every man was a free
man, the North was naturally democratic'-
every man being freeman, The result was
that the uboing class in the non-slavehold-
ing States had the power of government, ard
it required but lnte argument to prove, when
that Is the case, government instead OF being
at the head, was in the heels of socety.' MIR.
Spratt further assumed that no greater truth
was ever uttered than tlnt uttered by Mr..
Seward when he said, there was an irrepres-
sibe cyLfct between the two sys' euis of soc-
ety."

Strong stocks of bees need little

all filth, and any clusters of dead
bees about the combs. The bees
collect pollen, and but very little
honey at this season. If the store
