FAST DAY.-This is the Presidents Fast Day.
The inmates of the White House may possibly
indulge in a starvation diet; but we doubt that
they will have many imitators. The people are
not in the mood for fasting and praying just
now. They are much more inclined TO anathe
matizs the administration. The Tribune dis
played its appreciation Of the spirit of the day
by sandering Governor Seymour in its yester-
days issue. 1t seems that the Governors talk
about sectionalism and fanaticism in his Fast
Day proclamation does not please the Tribune.
But Seymour is perfectly right, and il any
proof be needed OF the existence of the fanati-
cism he rebukes it may be found in the Iri-
5uae's Fast Day article

Tho RcboIs stan IN Force tho Mary
land Border-An Urgent Demand for
General MoCIellan.
Our latest advices from the Maryland border
show that the whole command Of General
EARLY, estimated at thirty-fve thousand men Of
all arms, is still lowering along the banks Of
the Upper Potomac, from which his recon-
noitriDg and raid;ng parties are detailed into
Maryland or Pennsylvania as the occasion may
offer. Now. although it has been suggested
from military authority that General Early re-
mains noar the Potomac to protect the gather
ing of the abundant harvest of wheat, rye
and oats of the Shenandoah valley for Lees
army at Richmond, we apprehend that Early is
charged with much more important mission
than this We suspect that he is covering the
accumulation Of supplies at various points in
the Shenandoah valley for the subsistence of
heavy supporting column from Richmond for
still another and more formidable aud desper-
ate effort for the capture of Washington than
any that has yet been attempted. Such is the
critical situation of the rebellion, from the
tightening of General Grants combinations at
Richmond and Atlanta tha. some such daring
enterprise as this has become necessity to
JEFF. Davis.
II may be, however, that General Grant will
give such active employment to Lee at Peters
burg and Richmond as to disable him from
sending any reinforcemen's to General Early.
But oven in this event rebel column Of thirty
thousand veteran soldiers may do an immense
amount of mischief in Maryland and Pennsyl-
yania if permitted to linger near the conve-
nient fords of the Upper Potomac. Nor will it
answer to push these rebel marauders a few
days marches up the Shenandoah valley and
then to abandon them. Early must be pushed
his forces must be routed aud dispersed
in decisive battle. To this end, and in order
to protect the Maryland and Pennsylvania
border from rebels and Euerllas a. the same
time, Gen. Mcclellan is wanted q. Washington,
and as the commander of department cover
ing all these contingencies.
In this connection we are glad to hear that,
Independently of Old Blair, who is an old hum
bug, an earnest appeal was made on Tuesday
last by leading republicans to the President,
to give Genera! Mcclellan the command sug-
gested, and for strong political as well as mill
tary considerations. Whether Mr. Lincoln, for
the sake Of the country and bis own sake, will
act like a statesman and patriot in this mat
ter, or otherwise. remains to be seen. We have
only to say that be will strengthen his enemies
on every side by persistirg in still declining
the services of Mcclellan, when they are SO
urgently demanded by friends and foes.

TUE GENERAL GLooM-ITs CAusEs-ADyrcE
TO OLD ABE.-The stoppage in the calls for gov
ernment loans, the reduction In oil sorts OF
government securities, the apathy in regard to
enlistments, and the gloom prevailing in fnan-
clal and military circles gen orally at the pre-
sent moment, are to be attributed 10 the blum
dering before Petersburg. This again was
caused by the stupid policy Of the sd-
minstratisn in making generals out Of boot
blacks and trying to make heroes OF them. The
gar at its commencement was greatly succes,.
ful for the Union armies, and defeats since y.re
owing to the adoption Of the nigger policy by

TURNIPA

We have mover paid attention 10 diff
fereut varieties Of this root which IL de-
serves and receives abroad Tho reason
may be that in the northern States where
their culture has beea most extended, and,
where we find the most careful culture in
all respects, VIC cannot feed them of upon
the ground, as is tho custom in England,
where most varieties arc allowed TO occu-
py the ground until thus consumed The
varieties most generally cultivated, and
perhaps the best, all things considered
are the Purple-top Strapleaf, which is fiat
and the Cow-horn, (Vertus' Lopgc- white, }
which is long root, standing good deal
out Of the ground both are iavorito field
varieties, the latter seldom seen in New
York market. The Yellow stone and G ol-
den.ball are each excellent and handsome
and the swedes (rutabagas) are all valua.
Bile, even il sowcd rather late, though, of
se,these ought to have long season
For table use in winter and spring, yellow
or white rutabagas sowed in July are pref
cradle to those put in June, il they grow
quickly, for they are less rank and more
marrowy.
The last week in July is usually the
time chosen for sowing turnips. Swedish
turnips may be sowed any time after the
the middle of June.) The best rule in re
gard to quantity OF seed is to sow as httit
as you can, pound and half to the acre
is an abundance. Drilled lS inches apart
they do better than if sowed broadcast
through this is the usual method with com
mon turnips. IL the sowing be delayed
until August, even late in the mouth, and
severe weather holds off until the 18th Of
November.-"Thanksgiving time" in New
England gooe return may be expected
Turnips do their growing and filing out
in cool weather after frost, and are only y
injured by such freezing as entirely cuts
down their leaves and freezes the ground
hard. The best returns are gained from
rutabagas sowed about the middle fJune.
the drills being put far enough apart tc
give the cultivator room TO 60 between
the rows. Sowed late there are fewer
weeds, the roots do not grow so large nor
require so much room, and SOW the drills
may be much nearer. 4.

PRESERVING GRAPES.

Mr.. F. j. BoviDg, of Lancaster, Ohio,
has been very successful in preserving
grapes during the winter in the following
manner On clear, dry day he gathers
perfectly ripe and sound buuches, and lays
them carefully in stone-jars holding ore
or two gallons each. The jars are then
set in the ground ia a trench deep enough
to allow their tops to be eight or ten inch
es below the surface. Some boards are
then laid over the jars, the trench filed
up, and the remaining earth ridged up ~er
il Grapes packed in this way keep per-
fectly we'll until the first of march, and he
las sons yet untouched, to test the length
oi time they can be preserved. Mr. b, ex-
hbited some of bis grapes to an extensive
grower Of the fruit, who offered to buy his
secret, but he prefers 10 make it public
through tho american AgytcutturtSt.
Ii is well 10 make a note of this for
reference aud experiment next autumn.
