The Cars Proclamation Of Eman.
-n 20 s,eipatfon in Poland. d.. ia

The middle of fthis month will witness
in Europe another of those grand events
which, like the Presidents Proclamation
of Emancipation in America. are to make
these years forever illustrious in history.
On the 15ih.of April. by a recent ukase OF
the Czar, every serf in Russian Poland is
to be at once and forever set free from all
bondage. Tie is to own the cottage and
the plot Of ground which be has been occu.
pying, his time and labor are to be his
own. and he is liberated from all claims
to service and obligations Of labor which
his master may havespossessed over him.
For this great emancipation, he has only
to pay to the Government tax, by which
..loyal masters" are to he rsmunerated.-
More than this, the Polish serf is to be-
come at once self.governing citizen
He is to elect bis own village officials. his

Wildcats.

There is q strong effort being made to
drive out Of the West all Eastern bank
notes. They have not been bankable al
Cincinnati for year past; Chicago has
recently adopted the same policy. while
Milwaukee, Toledo, Cleaveland and other
Western cities are following the same
policy, and soon there will be no circuls-
ton }or anything in the West but green
backs and good local currency. We have
before us, says the Cincinnati Gazette, q
list o. eleven Pennsylvania country banks.
which last fall had. upon . capital Of =
million aud quarter. . circulation Of near
four millions, and at this time it 10 proba-
bly, six millions. And this. there is very
good reason to believe is the way in which
the Eastern Wildcat Banks have been
showing their. circulation. These banks
never will redeem in specie. They don,
mean to. They could not redeem to-day
in greenbscks.r Aud now, % their notsa
will run home upon them, they will either
refuse 10 yedeem in greenbacks, or they
will close their doors. 1t will be seen.
therefore. that the action OF the Western
pseplss in deciding to refuse Eastern Pspss
altogether, has not been taken any too
soon. There are many Eastern banks
which are sound; but - the people espnot
discrisainate, the osly safe way is to make

DIR. Orpheus Everts, Surgeon of the
Goth Indiana Veteran Volunteers, in his
Lecture at Valparaiso the other evening,
drew the following graphic picture of the
m ilitary character Of the late Colonel
VIM. L. Brown. of the Goth Regiment,
killed at the battle OF Manassas, August
Both, 1862. Speaking of the fermentation
incident to the organization Of volunteer
regiments when frst put into the field. the
Doctor said:
fortunately fer the Twentieth we and
Colonel who, in whatever he undertook
to do, carried with hrm a conscientious
sense of duty. Every fibre of his being
was in earnest. In all my intercourse with
men-with officers of high and low degree.
and my experience has been varied and
extensive, l have never found man who
possessed these characteristics to so full an
extent. With strong prediction fol-
the profession of arms-indefatigably
laborious, ambitious to excel, exceedingly
sensitive to praise or blame, his errors
were but excess of efforts in the right
direction. He worked his men. hard. it is
true, in drilling and disciplining them
but he worked with them always--nol
did he cease to work for them many hour.
after they were all at rest. He was always
in advance of his officers with his studies
and cared for his men with sleepless anx
iety and watchfulness. His greatest tria
as commander was, that his officers ant
men were so much slower in apprehension
and motion than himself, and that the,
were unable or unwilling to endure th'
hardships and labors which he assumed
with cheerfulness and bore with ease

Grape Planting.

Mr.. Mason who seems to be the best
authority among the many experienced
and able members Of the ST. Loui. Horti-
cultural Society, recently; on request.
gave bis views ss to the planting Of grapes.
As to the distance apart at which they
should be planted. he said that depended
much upon the kind. Rampant growers.
like the Concord. Taylor, Norton's Yir.
ginis, and some others, require more room
than those of medium growth; and those
Of small growth. like the Delaware. requirs
still less room. The average distance is
eight feet by eight, but he tho't nine by
nine, or nine by ten. still better for most
sorts. because even then the roots would
iuterlock. Some growers In New York
plant them twelve feet by twelve and get
enormous crops. Mr.. Mason thought
nine by ten feet best. with trellis six or
eight feet high. Delswsres. he wo'd plant
eight by eight feet apart. He wo'd stir
the ground twenty to twenty-four inches
deep. He would plow . space five or six
feet wide. then with scrsper, scrspe of,
plow again. and so on till the proper depth
is attained. He believed az acre can be-
prepared this way for twenty five or thirty
dollars, while trenching with spade would
cost seventy or eighty.
He thought the rows should be planted
in a north and south direction.
He was asked whether he would grow
anything between the rows. like peas.
strawberries, or potatoes. and replied that
peas are less Objectionable than strawber-
ries. which exhaust the soil of moisture.
Potatoes would not do. He cultivated
them one year between the rows of part of
his Catawbss, and the difference is yet
visible.

be force OF public sentiment. both North
and South, the serfs of Russia are also
gaining tLeir freedom from the thrsl lom
of landed aristocracy. The battle Of
freedom in Russia is purely moral one,
and to the frmness OF the Emperor and the
enlightened policy of the Russian Liberals
the world is indebted for this noble exhi-
bition Of the extension of freedom in the
act of serf emancipation. Twenty three
millions of an active peasantry have 5ecn
raised from fruial bondage to the position
Of freedom by the power Of serf emancipa-
tion during the last two years. Those op-
posed to this liberal progress prophesied
that anarchy and bloodshed must follow
the great social change. bat the revolution
has been q peace able and bIoodless one
throughout. and the bitterest opponents Of
the measure now admit its justice, as well
as the fact that as it had to come, at some
time. it was well to do it at once. This

tant measures for the amelioration of the
