Rain !

RainI
On Wednesday morning this town,
and we presume the entire county,
was blessed with splendid rain
which lasted perhaps three hours. -
1t was a refreshing sight to see the
drops descend after five weeks OF
drouth. 1t did good of course, but
about ten times as much would have
been better. Appearances are favor
able for repetition. ID i''''Nii iN u

1t is now time to prepare for SOW
ing buckwheat. II will not be to late
till the middle of July r.rr- Al.
We urge all who have spare ground
TO put in this crop Barley will
come Off soon enough, and some
wheat stubble can be plowcd in time
for it.
The reasons for an unusual amount
of buckwheat are: I
|. Wheat will be short throughout
the West and the Northwest. We
did not think there would be two.
thirds OF an average crop; but the
drouth In Minnesota Wisconsin and
some portions of Iowa and Illinois
has been so severe and the ravages
of the insect in other localities have
been 80 great that if half the usual
yield shall be obtained it will fully
meet our present cxpatation. There.
fore SOW buckwheat.
2. Wheat will probably be 1925 TO
80 so per bushel by next December,
and of course buckwhcat will he
largely profitable.
B. The prospect now is, that there
will not he an unusual yield of corn
this season: indeed unless copious
rains shall soon visit about the half
of the west in which the drouth pre-.
walls, this crop will be short
Sow buckwheat! 1t will enter large
ly into the home consumption OF
breadstuflis during the winter, provi-
ded supply shall be furnished
Don't stand back appalled, at 50 or
S3 per day for labor or 81 or So per
team and man, but breast the occa.
sion heroically, and not only save all
your harvest, and give Your growing
crops good culture, but put in the
buckwheat largely. Its harvest will
come ut time when you will be some
what relieved from pressing work
And finally on this subject, and to
conclude the whole matter briefly we
say, SOW buckwheat! :!

better work than amy other machine.

How THE GAMBLING IN GOLD IS MAN
AGED.--The financial article of the New
York Herald, of December 18th, says The
curiosity of outsiders may be gratifed by
learning how the gambling operations in
gold are carried on in and around Wall
street The amount of coin that is kept
afoat in that locality cannot of course be
mathematicsD Il aoscertained, but it may be
estimated at about 81 100000. 1t is divi-
ded into sums varying from 81 900 to $l0,-
000 which are placed in small, stout can
vas bags, around the neck of each Of which
is tied piece of red tape, the knot covered
with sealing wax, stamped, and the amount
which the bag contains marked on the out
side. The spectators, or gamblers, after
paying for an admission ticket, daily visit
the saesroom, and there they buy or sell as
the prospect Of a rising or falling market
may exhibit itself to their imaginations. If
an operator sells without time being speci-
fed, he must deliver to the purchaser the
amount disposed Of before fifteen minutes af-
ter 2 o'clock on the day the sale is made, if
the contract was entered into previous to
that hour. A canvas bag containing the
stipulated sum is then intrusted to the hands
of porter, who makes the delivery. In
the meantime prices have advanced, or dan
ger is apprehended Of sudden fall, and the
purchaser, with keen eye to his interest,
offers his newly acquired five or ten thou
sand, and the amount is again disposed of,
and in like manner delivered, but if the sale
was made after the hour above stated, the
delivery does not take place until the follow
ing day. In this manner the little bags,
with their precious contents, are kept con-
stantly on the move. There are of course
purchasers in the market who desire specie
for shipment, bat the amount thus abatract-
ed is replaced by outsiders, who sell in small
quantities to the brokers, and by this means
the average is preserved from month to
month.

REBEL ABUSE OF THE PREsIDENT.--The

Der says;
We this morning crafty the curiosity of
our readers with the Message of Abraham
Lincoln. Recovering but recently from an
attack of The small pox, some excuse may
be made for the Mes lit is but another
exhibition of his weakness and folly. Why
his Cabinet will permit him to make such
fool of himself, and render their country an
object of contempt and ridicule throughout
the world, can only be accounted for on the
supposition that it is the easiest way to get
rid Of him. They therefore permit him to
have the freest and fullest use Of his PEN
To his proclamation of amnesty and recon
struction we especially invite the attention
Of our readers, and when the "one tenth"
are ready to succumb, VIC ask the privilege
of announcing it to their Father Abraham.
At the present we have not the space to re-
view the Message, and do not not know
that we shall hereafter have time but as
there are some features in it so characteris-
tic of Yankee, we may on future occasions
recur to this Message.

Abolition should no longer be regarded as
an imaginary danger The aboltionsts, let
me suppose, succeed in their present aim of
uniting the inhabitants of the free States, as
one man, against the inhabitants of the slave
States. Union on the one side will beget
union on the other. And this process of re-
ciproca consolidation will be attended with
all the violent prejudices, emblttered pas
sions, and implacable animosites, which ever
degraded or DETAINED human nature. A vir-
tual dissolution of the Union will have taken
place, whilst the forms of its existence re-
main The most valuable element of union,
mutual kindness, the feelings of sympathy,
the fraternal bonds which now happily unite
us, will have been extinguished forever
One section will stand in menacing and hos
tile array against the other. The collision of
opinion will be quickly followed by the clash
of arms [ will not attempt to describe
scenes which now happily lie concealed from
our view Abolitionists themselves would
shrink back in dismay and horror at the con-
temptation Of desolated fields, confagrated
cities, murdered inhabitants, and the over
throw of the fairest fabric of human govern
ment that ever rose to animate the hopes of
civilized man"
The abolitionists themselves, so far from
shrinking back in dismay and horror at the
contemplation of the ruin they have aided
to draw down upon the Republic, are pressing
forward with demoniacal zeal to consummate
and seal that ruin. Not even the penetra-

They began their operations by protesting
to employ only persuasive means in appeal
ing to the humanity, and enlightening the
understandings of the slaveholding portions
of the Union. If there were some kindness
in this avowed motive, it must be acknowl-
edged that there was rather presumptious
display also of an assumed superiority in in
telligence and knowledge. For some time
they continued to make these appeals to our
duty and our interest; but, inpatient with
the slow influence of their logic upon our
stupid minds, they recently resolved to
change their system of action. To the agen-
cy of their powers Of persuasion, they now
propose to add the powers of the ballot-box;
and he must be blind to what is passing be-
fore us, who does not perceive that the inev.
liable tendency of their proceedings is, if
these should be found insufficient, to invoke,
finally, the more potent powers of the bay
