the convention, as far as it goes, and adds
another plank to please himself.
"0ur readers know We don't believe in
that plank, but we shall not quarrel with
General Mcclellan for regarding it with
favor, simply because, under bis admins.
tration, it would never be required of US"
And last, but not least, the Hon. Fer
nando Wood says:
I" 1t is an error to suppose that General
Mcclellan and the peace men so widely
differ. 1t is true that he does not use the
precise language OF the platform adopted
at Chicago-he says nothing of armistice
-of cessation of hostilities, nor conven-
tion-but he says nothing against them,
but does most explicitly declare a senti-
ment, or, if you please, dogma, which
covers the ground"

ly obtained, l think trees may be planted
about twenty-five feet apart, allowing to
form low heads, and so cover the ground,
and the orchard kept free from grass and
weeds by thus covering the surface. The
crops derived from cultivation ander the
trees seldom pay the cost, and in many To-
oalities mulching would be cheaper than
cultivation, and answer all the purpose.
We should then have our trees in their
beautiful natural proportions, instead of un.
galnly lOnglegged monsters, marred and
Scared, and exposed to the alterations of
heat and cold, and retarded years in their
productiveness. Probably it might not be
wise to continue the mulch upon the
ground during the whole season, although
| am not aware that injury is caused by so
doing The tendency of thus covering
the ground no doubt would be to bring the
roots toward the surface, but perhaps this
would produce no injury. Where mice
and moles abound, either the mulch, or
grass growing in the orchard, would afford
them winter quarters, and thus endanger
the trees Country Gentleman.

SheEidan's Use of Cavalry,

WASHINGTON, Oct 23-Gen Sheridan,
in Wednesdays battle at Cedar creek, fur
nishes the most striking illustration we
have had during the war of the legitimate
use of cavalry, and the results achieved on
that occasion vie with the finest historic
performances of that arm.
Napoleon observes that the two main
functions of cavalry are to operate on the
morale OF an enemy by turning his flank,
and to follow up victory by pursuit that
turns defeat into rout Sheridan's disposi-
ton of his horse in masses on either flank
is in accordance with the finest examples
In military history, and the pursuit of the
once broken rebel line matches the most
brilliant exploits of Murat or of Seidlitz.
The grand charge made at o'clock by
the divisions of Custer on the right and
Merritt on the left, is described by an eye
witness as magnificent in the highest de-
gree. The charge was executed at the
trot, and doubled up both TANKS of the
rebel army, pushing its broken and dislo-
Gated fragments across Cedar creek. With
9AAo aSHIO'CiACuo3 dH oluludiJ ScucfdA
would have remained satisfied but not SO
Sheridan, an old dragoon himself, and know
ing all the secrets of what Marshal SAKE
called the dome OF moment. Two brigades,
Devin's of Merritt's Division, and Weir's
Of Clusters Division, were promptly thrown
across the creek. Clearing the bridges at
a gallop, under severe artillery and mus
kerry fire, they impetuously charged the
rebel infantry brigade, which had been left
to cover the trains, and held strong posi-
ton, deployed on the crest of the, hill south
of CeGar creeF. This force was captured
and scattered, leaving the whole rebel army
train prize.
The rebel infantry were already whirling
through Strasburg, and the pike, for four
miles from that point to Cedar creek, was
blockaded with artillery wagons, ambulan-
ces, &c. Our cavalry accordingly had now
nothing to do but deploy as foragers and
secure the rich spoils their valor had won.
What these are the country already knows
through Gen. Sheridan's dispatches; and
when it is considered that this splendid
prize was taken by force not exceeding
FIVE hundred men, we may well exclaim
with Marshal SAKE, "There is no telling
what cavalry can accomplish. IN T.

a. AGRTGUhTU TURAI,
Management of Orchards.
BY JUDGE FRENCH.

No man living, think, can show good
orchard of grated fruit which was kept in
grass the first ten years of its life. 1t is
point settled beyond controversy, that Or
chards, to be healthy and productive, must
be cultivated most of the time. There is
such thing as over cultivation. The mis-
take oftenest made, | think, of late years,
is forcing young trees too much, thereby
giving them too luxurious growth, and in
creasing their liability to injury by frosts
Land, rich enough for crop of Indian
corn, is in good condition for the heulthful
growth of apple trees. Even after trees
are grown to large size, manuring so as to
maintain a vigorous growth often renders
the trees unfruitful.
The theory is, that when dame Nature,
along in Summer and early Autumn, is
laying her plans for next years operations,
she forms buds without at first deciding
whether they shall be for leaves or fruit,
and that we, her servants, may help to de.
termine their character by urging or check
ing the circulation of the sap; u vigorous
circulation and full supply developing the
buds into leaves and wood, and diminish,
ed circulation developing fruit buds A
tree which the plow has injured, or which
has been bent down by the wind, often is
full of bloom, while its thriftier neighbors
are expanding their dimensions with no at
tempt at fruitfulness. We prune the roots
or bend down the branches to induce fruit
fulness. On the same principle, if your
beautiful orchard, at eight or ten years of
age, grows rapidly but does not bear, by
laying it to grass year or two, check will
be given to its growth, and blossom and
fruit will appear in due season. 1t is not
uncommon to hear a man complain that a
certain tree is apparently dying, and regret
1t, because it was tree that always bore
full, not knowing that the partial loss of
vitality had turned all its twigs to fruit
spurs,
| know of no substitute for plowing or
chards, unless it be mulching There is
practical difficulty however, that all expert.
ence in raising apple orchards has not oh.
waited; undoubtedly, low branching trees
are most healthy, most productive. most
convenient In all respects, except in cult
vation. But low branching trees will not
admit horses to pass under them, and oxen,
though not SO high headed as horses, have
o great many more horns, which are very
incouvenient in orchards. After low head.
ed trees have borne two or three full crops,
their branches often touch the ground
giving great convenience in picking the
fruit, but utterly preventing the passage of
a plcw team. | know orchards of this
character which have long been kept very
productive by mulching the whole ground
with hay or straw. They were near the
sea, and the mulch was the coarse grass of
the fats. Where any mulch can be cheap

Our Agent-Where He Stands, and all

The New York correspondent of the
London Times says:
"He (Gen. G. B. McClellan) is under
stood to heve explained away some pas
sages in recent speech, which originally
conveyed the impression that he was iu ia
vor of war for the extirpation of slavery,
and to have otherwise made himself more
acceptable than formerly to that great wing
of the Democratic party whose whole SYM
pathies are with the South"
A writer in the Boston Daily Advertiser
says:
"Since that public letter, General Nc
Clellan has written private letters to va
rious influential persons very different from
his letter of acceptance.
The Chicago Times says:
"Sundry loyal newspapers are now in
tensely exercised in an effort to ascertain
whether Mcclellan stands on the Chicago
platform or not As he distinctly states in
his letter of acceptance that he does, their
anxiety seems to be an unnecessary one"

A Battle that was not Fought.

Many years ago two boys differed about
some trifing matter, while at play, and one
of them challenged the other to fight. The
challenge was accepted and the heroes went
into an adjoining field to settle the quarrel.
Jackets and caps were thrown on the ground
aud all was in readiness, but each appeared
unwilling to strik e the first blow
Now, then, strike me if you dare"
said the younger boy, with look of def
ance. His companion looked at him, but
did not like to strike, and at length he
said, "Nay, | have nothing to strike you
for"
"Well. then" said the other, who had
provoked the quarrel at first, " let us be
good friends again, for | have nothing to
strike you for either"
They dressed and left the field without
striking blow, and never quarreled after
One of them now holds very respecta-
BILE position as teacher of youth.
How few battles would be fought, either
among young people or old, if in imitation
of these boys the disputants would try to
find a reason for u quarrel, before they
strike blow.

letteth out water therefore leave of con-
tention before it be meddled with. ."-Bdnd

YHK NSfRH Ell,
THE BLUE COAT OF THE SOLDIER.

You asked me, little one why bowed
Though never passed the man before1
Because my heart was full and proud,
When saw the old blue coat he wore;
The blue great-coat, the sky blue coat,
The old blue coat the soldier wore.
l know not what weapon he chose
What chief he followed, what badge he wore;
Enough that in the front of foes
His country's blue greatcoat he wore.
Perhaps he was born IN a forest hut
Perhaps he had danced on q palace floor;
To want or wealth my eyes were shut;
only marked the coat he wore
1t mattered not much if he drew his line
From Shem or lam, in the days of yore;
For sure he was a brother of mine,
Who for my sake the war-coat wore.
H might have no skill TO read or write,
Or he might be rich i'll learned lore;
But knew he could make his mark in fight
And nobler gown no scholar
1t may be he could plunder and prowl
Or perhaps in hls mood he scotfed and swore;
But would not guess spot so foul
On the honored coat he bTayely
He had worn it long and borne it far;
And perhaps the red Virginian shore,
From midnight chill till the morning-star
That worn great-cost the sentry wore
When hardy Butler reined his steed
Through the the streets tree Of proud, proud Baltimore,
Marched he who yonder blue coat wore.
PefllapS ~ was seen IN BurnSIde'S ranks,
When Rappahannock ran dark with gore;
Perhaps on the nountan-side with Banks
In the burning sun no more he wore
Perhaps in the swamps twas a bed for his form,
From the seven days battling and marching sore
Or with kearney Pope, mid the steey storm
AS the night closed in, that coat he
Or when right over as Jackson dashed,
That collar or cape some bullet tore;
Or when far ahead Antetam flashed,
He flung to the ground the that he wore.
Or stood al Gettysburg where the graves
Rang deep to Howard's cannon roar;
Or with Grant the unclaimed waves
Where conquerIng hosts the blue wore.
That garb of honor tells enough,
Though its story guess no more;
The heart 1t covers is of such stuff
That coat is mail which that soldier wore.
He may hang it up when the peace may come,
And the moths may find il behind the door;
But his children will point when they hear q drum
70 the proud old coat their father wore.
And so, my child, will you and |,
For whose fair home their blood they pour,
Still bow the head as goes by
Who wears the coat that soldier wore;
The blue greatcoat, the sky-bue coat,
The old blue coat the soldier wore.
