The editor Of an eastern journal published
some years ago his management of one acre,
with the following results
One-third of an acre of corn usually pro-
duced thirty bushels Of sound corn for grind
ing, besides some refuse. This quantity was
sufficient fer family use, and for fattening
one large or two small hogs. From the
ground he obtained two or three hundred
pumpkins, and his family supply of beans.
From the same bed of six rods square he
usually obtained sixty bushels of onions i;
these he sold at one dollar per busbel, and
the amount purchased his -four. Thus, from
one-third of an acre and an onion bed, he
obtained his breadstufs. The rest of the
ground was appropriated to all sorts of veg
etables for summer and winter use-pota.
toes, beets, parsnps, cabbages, green corn
peas beans, cucumbers, melons, sqrashes
&C., with fifty or sixty bushels of bets and
carrots Tor the winter food of COW. Then
he had flower garden, also raspberries, cur
rants and gooseberries in great variety, and
few choice apple, pear, plum, cherry, peach
and ounce trees.
The above article was written by Doctor
Holmes of the Maine Farmer as his expert
ence with an acre of land. Few agricuitur
lists had his knowledge and skill, and fewer
still could or would apply it with will. He
delighted in the pursuit, titled his acre him
self, and the result of his skill and labor is
given above. Few can equal it; skill an
labor can do it. Who will try?

GEN. "BALDY" SMITH ON NEGRO Sol
DlERs.-Carleton the correspondent of the
Boston Journal writes as follows:
A few days ago sat in the tent Ct Gen
W. F. Smith, commander of the 18th army
corps, and heard his narration of the man
ner in which Gen. Kinks division Of coloret
troops stood the fire and charged upon thu
rebel works east of Petersburg on the 16''
of June. There were eighteen guns pour
ing constant fire of solid shot and she'll
upon these troops, enflading the line, cut
ting it lengthwise and crosswise. "Yet the,
stood unmoved for sir hours! Not a mar
hlnched. 1t was as severe test as | eve
saw. But they stood it, and when my ar
engagements were completed for charging tn,
works, they moved with the steadlness O
veterans to the attack. | expected that the,
would fall back, or be cut 10 pieces, but wher
saw them move over the field, gain tn
works and capture the guns, was astounded
They lost between five and six hundred mel
in doing it. There is material in the negroe
to make the best troops in the world if the,
are properly trained"
Those are the words of one of the abes
commanders and engineers in the ser ice
A graduate of West Point, who, earlier il
the war, had the prejudices which were he'll
by many other men against the negro. H
has changed his views. H is convinced
and honorably follows his convictions, as Il
all men who are not stone blind and Del

A Remarkable Guerrilla Hunt.

A very remarkable incident, which hap
pened at Greenville, East Tennessee, in the
latter part Of last May, was related TO US
yesterday. Col. r. A. Crawford, hearing
that there was large party of guerllas
prowling about Greenville, took his company
and started to pay them visit. On reach
ing the outskirts of the town, the horses OF
the guerrillas were found hitched in fence
corners and other places, while their dis.
mounted riders were enjoying themselves
greatly with their friends. Some were eat
ing, some drinking, some smoking, all wholly
forgetiul that the enemy sometimes cometh
like thief IL. the night. Col. Crawford
counted the horses and stationed a good
marksman in ambush to be ready to SALUTE
each guerrilla when he Jumped on his horse
This being done, he ordered party of his
men to gallop through the town at terrible
rate, shouting and yelling. The guerrilas,
hearing the uproar, broke and ran out Of
back doors, down alleys and every other way
toward their horses. Unlucky wights for
