QUARTER OF A MILLION OF EMIGRANTs.-
Reports received at Castle Garden, from all
parts of Europe, indicate 25O,OOO as not faI
from the number Of emigFsnts to be looked
for at this port this year. If this be true
1864 will be the second most remarkable year
for emigration in the annals of history. Vii.
lagos and counties in ireland and England will
be emptied of their able bodied industrial
population. The Journal of Commerce says;
"Within the last two months the excite
ment has been intensified by the arrival oil
scores of agents in ireland and England from
this country, sent out for factory hands, farm
ers, mechanics, and laborers, of every deserip-
ton, at prices which must be irresistably
tempting to the Poorly-requited peasants and
drudges of the old country. Such is the un-
precedented demand for passages to this conn
try for the next two months, that we under
stand that the packet lines are selling no tick
cts for the hither voyage to be used before the
first of July next. 1t is pleasant to be able
to state that the class of emigrants who are
coming out are very superior, the majority oi
them being small farmers or mechanics, who
bring property with them, and are Industrious
frugal, sober people"

Slaughter in Ancient Wars.

| We shudder at the cruelties which some
times accompanied the triumphs of Rome
over her more barbarous and undiciplined enc
mics. Scipio destroyed $4,000 Syrians at
Magepsia. Marius in his contest with the
Teutons, exterminated 900 900 of them. In
! second battle, against the Cimbri, he slew
10000 men. In three battles against NTH
ridares, Sylls cut to pieces 100000 men, The
bloody defeats be sustained from Lucullus,
during the siege of Cyzicus, cost the same Mith-
rdares 100000 Of his forces. On one oeca-
sion Julias Caesar cut up an army of 3Os 600
Helvetians; on another he extirpated 43O 900
Germans, who had crossed the Rhine in quest
of new settlements. .--.
In the civil wars of the Romans among
themselves we ind instances, considering the
number of troops engaged, of slaughter equal
ly dreadful. In the battle before the Colline
gate of Rome, Telesinus, General OF the Mar
rion faction, commanded 10000 men against
BOrnelius Sylla; $4,000 of these were taken
and massacreed in cold clOod after the action.
All the rest perished either on the field or in
the fight by the swords Of their impIacable
coantrymeu.
In the year 1872, fatally distinguished as
being the epoch of the first irruption of the
Mogul Tartsrs into the southern provinces of
Asia, the destroyer, Ghengis-Khan marched
to the seige of Otiar at the head of 100000
combatants. Mohammed, the reigning Sui
tan of Karazm, opposed them with an army of
100000.
The weaker party was defeated, and the Tar
tar conqueror commenced has singuinary ca
reer by the destruction of 10000 of his enc
mics. At the storming of Karazm, Moham-
med's capital, 100000 persons were massacred
and half that number sold for slaves; co.
600 were shot to death with arrows, 10 cold
blood, on the plains of Mesa; 1,747,O 900 were
bulchered in two cities of Noshabur and Tus,
and their dependencies; 100000 in the dis
trict of Herat, and in the last battle fought by
Ghenis-Khan against the rebels of Targat
300, 900 are reported to have persisted. Tc
dismiss this subject, the Chinese records in
form US that in the first fourteen years of No
gul empire, the number of persons destroyed
amounted to the dreadful amount of $4,000,
600.
But from the year 1900 to the present cen
tury have cOntending hosts been less bloody ir
their conquests, and more generous in thei
disputes, and the battles Of the present age, al
regards humanity, are favorably marked, il
comparison with those revolving contests anC
conquests of olden times.

The Leaders in Dispute.

1t will need no argument hereafter to prove
that disunion is the object of the Peace De
mocracy. They confess it, glory in it as the
ardent desire Of their hearts. Mr.. Long con-
fesaes it, Mr.. Harris glories in it, Wood and
others sanction it. They all voted against
censuring Harris when he deliberately declar-
ed he acquiesced in the doctrine of secession
and said: "The South ask you to leave them
in peace; but no, you say you will bring them
into subsection. That is not yet done, and
God Almighty grant that it may never be-
| hope you will never subjugate the South
This saves all argument to prove treason or
that party. 1t confirms it. Prays to God AL
mighty for disunion and the overthrow Of oul
government. And this too often from ner
with the burden of an oath on their conscience
to support and uphold the Union and the Con
stitution. Betraying their country, forswear
ing themselves, and gIOrying in their shame
are they not pretty leaders for loyal party2

cuIturs of Whits Beans.

The Prairie Farmer of Chicago, ILL.,, makes
the following timely suggestions on the cul-
ture of beans. 1t is the duty of all farmers to
get as much of everything needed int the
ground as possible:
Beans may be grown upon almost any soil
if it be well drained. The soil may be poor
and yet give a tolerably good yield, yet the
old idea that barren land is the best for this
crop, was long since exploded. A good rich
soil will give a correspondingly good yield OF
beans with proper culture, which is very sim
ple The ground is perhaps best both fall and
spring plowed; but at any rate make by ploW'
ing, narrowing and rolling, if necessary, deep,
mellow seed bed. Plant last Of May or 1rst
Of June either in hills or drills. The former
method gives better opportunity to cultivate
mostly by horse implements, which is con-
sideration in these days Of high wages and
scarcity of hands. A good way is also to
plant in rows about ~ feet apart, and some
| 5 or 8 inches apart in the rows, A to z beans
in a hill If drilled in, the plants should stand
about 21& inches apart in the row. All OF the
corn planters in use can. we believe, be Eegu-
lated to plant beans in hills, and many of them
in drills.
The crop should have the hoe at least once,
but be sure to work among them only when
dry.
The "Navy bean," small white variety, is
very popular. The Morrow or White Noun
tain, is also productive variety. Both sell
well in market if well cured and bright 1t
takes but very little to ipjure the color OF
beans, and when once discolored their ValGe 10
market is greatly deprecated.
They must be pulled when dry, and though
if the weather be pleasant they cure quickly
if spread upon the ground, yet it is the safest
to stack them about a stake six or seven feet
in height driven into the ground. Place the
roots toward the stake, tops out. II the tops
of these stacks be well covered with cap ot
straw or hay they may stand some time with
out injury. Care in this matter of curing e.
we'll as in slowing away on scafolds, &C, IN
barns will pay well. Mouldy, musty, stained
beans will not bring half price. Ia regard to
the proHtableness Of this crop, at present prl'
ces, every one can judge for himself Beanl
of good quality are now worth about 81 %
per bushel in this market. 1t is not difficult
matter to grow twenty-five bushels per acre
while fifty have been grown, 1t takes but lit
tie more seed than to plant an acre of corn
and it is no more work to grow them, except
the harvesting
