which he spoke of Mr.. Lincolns having been elect

having been robbed of his right to act as President
in fifteen of them. 1t will be remembered that Mr.

GARDENING We clip the following sensible and
weil.tlned suggestions from the Atlanta Southern
Contederacy, and as they are equally applicable to
this locality, We hope that such of our citizens as
have the ground wherein to plant, will turn their
attention to the subject:
The season for gardening is rapidly approaching,
and we hope every one that has an available foot
OF ground will make rapid haste to have it planted
IN vegetables OF some sort, not only for their own
USE but for the use of soldiers especially those
who are in hospitals. 1t is we'll known fact that
vegetables are earnestly craved by the soldiers.
who are SO confined to bread and beef ratons that
they almost detest the sight of either of them and
long Tor something fresh from the garden.
Then let every one plant all the potatoes. peas
beans, tomatoes, &C., that his ground will accom-.
modate and not only will their own living be great
" economical but they will haye it in their power
to furnish many things to the soldier that would be
real luxuries to them, while they would cost the
grower only little trouble.
Persons generally fail to have just appreciation
OF the value of even small patch Of ground. We
know that very small patch, we'll cultivated, has
often yielded more profit to the owner than many
