Are these men lca1r-iors2 Are they soldiers

(and expect to lose) their lives Are they not

we not invite the Yankees to a similar, and,

INCREASING SoIL.-Bv deepening the cult
walton of your soil you add to its quantity.
Thus, by having your soil eight inches deep,
where before you had it only four inches, you
double its capacity-Somewhat as though you
had two acres now where YOU had only one
before. Did you ever think of this. Light
inches of cultivated soil has double the
strength of four. This is new way of in
creasing your land-not new to our best farm
RS who understand all this-and hence they
cultivate deep-not deep at once, but gradu-
ally, each year little deeper, or at every
ploughing. Ploughing alone makes the soil
mellow; has a wonderful effect, even with
out manure; but manure it must be remem-
bered is the main reliance always.
In deepening your soil, judgment is requir-
ed. Not too much Of the raw subsoil must
be brought up at a time, unless it is rich
then pillow deep. In clay soils, little at a time
is the true theory. Cut off half an inch of
clay, more or less, at each plonghing This,
thrown up to the action of the elements, will
be reduced 10 power, and it at once goes to
work drawing strength from the atmosphere
clear profit. YOU see il has the effect of
plaster. Then it is a manure in itself. These
heavy clay beds are valuable beds of ma
nure. As they sre generally spread out with
your soil, YOU need only TO adjust your cevis-
pin to manure your ground. But this must
only be done when the super-soil is thor
oughly friable, in good cultivated order
Too much clay brought up will stien your
soil and air, and heat and rain are kept
out; and thus il remains, stiff cold, stubborn
soil, on which little or nothing can be grown

Gov. BramIette 10 the People ef Kentucky.

Gov. Bramlette has just issued the follow
ing address TO the people of Kentucky:
FELLOW CITIZENS In view of the disturb
ance of the popular mind, produced by the
enrolment of slaves for the army in Ken
lucky, it Is deemed prudent TO make the fol-
lowing suggestions for the benefit and guild
ance % the loyal people of Kentucky:
Your Indignation should not move you to
violence, nor TO unlawful resistance. Stand
ing as we have stood and will ever stand for
the Constitution, the Union, and the enforce
meut of the laws, we must repel the effort of
rebellion to overthrow our Government, by
our gallant soldiers in the field, and
meet and correct unjust or unconstitutional
legislation by legitimate appeals to the con
stituted tribunals of the Government and
through the ballot box disp.ace those who
pervert or abuse the trusts committed TO
them.
This Is the only true mode of maintaining
the Constitution, the Union, and the enforce
ment of the laws. The mere act of enrolling
the names of slaves does not affect auv right
of the citizens. No draft has been ordered,
nor DO we know thai a draft Will he ordered.
Ii may and it may not. We should abide by
and maintain the law and pursue in the modes
provided the remedy it affords.
Ii any violence or wrong, to the person or
property, be committed by any officer or sol
der against the known laws of the land,
make your accusation in the mode prescribed
by law, and i the commanding officer refuses
or neglects to use his utmost endeavors to
arrest the officer or soldier under his COM
mand so accused, and forthwith hand him
over to 4 civil magistrate for trial, when of
ticially advised of the facts, the Executive OF
this State viii prefer charges and demand
Court Martial In the Union, under the
/ Constitution and in accordance with law, as
sert and use your rights.
1t is our duty to obey the law until it is de-
clared by judicial decision TO be uneoustitu.

taken under it for the public use viii be en-
titled, under the imperative mandate OF the
Constitution to just compensation for his
private property so taken for public use.

Peace restored and the unity of our Govern
ment preserved, we viii drive to ignomlnlous

fiict, perverted their sacred trusts to the base

INsINUATIoNS AGAINST JEFF. DAVIS.
From the Richmond Sentinel, March 5th


If the Confederate capital has been in the
closest danger of massacre and confagration
| if the President and Cabinet have run a seri-
Gus risk of being hanged at their own doors,
do IRE not care it chieRy to tie milk and ,cqteJ
spirit IN scl,ic6 tbs lear has hitherto been con-
dlcted2
1t is time TO ask, in what light are the peo-
pie of the Confederate States regarded BY
their own government As belligerents re-
sisting by war an invasion from foreign peo-
ple-or as gang of malefactors evading and
postponing the penalty of their crimes < <
But I'VE are to consider" 1t seems mot
what wicked enemies may deserve, but what
it becomes us, as Christians and gentlemen,
to inflict." Oh, hypocrisy; and thou forty
parson power which alone can sound its praise
through thy forty noses What cant is this !?
We wonder whether Mr.. Davis is aware of
what many very honest people begin to NUT
ter and murmur. They say, can this man be
saving up for himself, in case of the worst,
a sort of plea in mitigation of punishment?
If the cause for which hundred and fifty
thousand of us have died, be borne down at
last, is this Christian meekness of his in
tended to save his own life They say what
comfort are these fine sentiments to the
houseless families who have been driven from
their homes in Tennessee or Virginia when
they find that our armies, even on the en-
emy's soil, are withhold from giving the in
vaders taste of real in their own
quenched hearths and blazing barns For
what have we set over US a government at all
If 1t be not to protect US against our enemies
TO ayenge US of our enemies when need is
TO uphold our cause in all its fitness and
grandeur, and to keep our banner f1ying high
But this is lowering the cause and dragging
the banner through the dust; this is encour-
aging, inviting our invaders to ravage and
pillage Us at pleasure, sure that they will not
be visited with the like in their turn.
