Late News.

During the last few days the daily papers
have been filed with exciting and glorious
war news. 1t appears that on Thursday
and Friday last Gen. Grant had terrible
battle with Lee, near the old Chancellor.
Vile battle ground We have lost many
brave officers and men, but have been tri-
umphant-won the battle, and our soldiers
are entitled to nations gratitude. 1t APP
pears rather uncertain as to who began the
battle. Lee Claims in his report that
; Grant commenced the attack, but it is gen
orally conceded from the position chosen,
and the time of commencing, that Lee was
the attacking party. However, whatever
dispute there is about the commencement,
there can be none about the closing, for on
Friday night the enemy retreated, leaving
Grant master Of the field, and leaving their
dead and wounded, about $4,000 in num-
ber for our soldiers to care for The wound
ed are being sent to Washington, where
preparations are being made for their re-
ception and the grand column is going for
ward determined to satisfy the popular de-
sire, and cry of 'On to Richmond" The
combined armies of Grant, Burnside, and
Butler, arc about making simultaneous at
tack on that internal rebel capital. Let us
pray that they may be "more than conquer
ors.'' Burnsides, by forced march joined
Grant on Friday morning. Butler had sue
cessfully landed at City Point, Virginia, and
after giving battle to Beauregard, who was
at Petersburg with 10000 men, and whip
ping him, commenced moving on Richmond
in two columns, and will doubtless do his
whole duty, and keep the rebels IN and
around the city busily employed preventing
them from reinforcing Lee, who is gradn-
ally backing down, closely followed by
Grant This can only be considered as one
OF a series of battles, for the obstacles to be
surmounted and the defencest to be reduced
before reaching Richmond are of such an
mpregnable nature that nothing but desper-
ate fighting and indomtable perseverance
can accomplish the desired result. But we
have faith in General Grant we look back
to Yicksburg, to the battle Of Champion
Hills and the brilliant battles succeeding it
before the taking of Vicksburg, and know
;sillat the same general follow the same tao
ties and press on, and on, until the rebel
capital is in our possession. During the
three DAYS battle our forces suffered heavl-
w, but no official statement has yet been re-
ccived We took 5000 prisoners, and the
rebels retreated leaving 5000 killed, and
10000 wounded on the field Gen. Lee in
his official report acknowledges heavy loss,
he grieycs to announce that Longstreet was
severely wounded, Gen. Grenham, was kill
ed, and Gen. Jenkins sereverely wounded
The news so far is good, but we anxiously
wait for further details of the late battles,
and confidently hope to hear of more glori-
Gus results in the future.

SEVERE FgRE.-Eau Claire, on the Upper

1t is believed that no securities offer great induce

Bonds In all other forms of indebtness, the faith or

for the debts fthe United States the whole property

the total Funded Debts ofhe United States on which,
interest payable in gold, the Sd day OF March
1864 was S76s 965 Oo0 The interest fhis debt for
the coming fiscal year will be S4593 jos, while the
customs revenue in gold for the current hscal year,
ending June 30th 1864, has been SO far at the rate
Of over 500 600 600 per annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold revenues
ofthe Government are largely in of the wants
ofthe Treasury for the payment Of gold interest while
The recent increase the tariff will doubtless raise the

At late ball in Baltimore, gentleman
having danced with young lady whose at.
fractions, both personal and conversational,
seemed to have made an impression on his
sensibilities, asked to have the pleasure Of
seeing her on the following evening.
"Why, no sir" replied the fair one, al
shall be engaged tomorrow evening; but
Ill tell you when you can see me-"
Il shall be most happy" exclaimed the
stricken swain.
"Well, on Saturday night" resumed the
lady, "you can see me at the foot of Marsh's
market, selling cabbages."
A firc.eating Irishman, covered with
wounds in duels, challenged barrister,
who gratifed him by acceptance. The du.
elist, unable to stand without support, re-
quested that he might have prop.
"Suppose," said he, "that lean against
this milestOne?"
"With pleasure" replied the lawyer,
con condition that l may lean against the
next"
Tho challenger burst into roar Of laugh.
ter at the joke, and swore he would not
fight such good-humored gentleman.
When young man steals kiss from a
Lowell girl, she bushes like new blown
rose, and says smartly:
"YOu darsen't to do that twice more" 4"
The Boston girls hold still until they are
well kissed, when they fare up all at once,
and say:
Il should think you would be ashamed" "

Harvesting Ruckwheat.

No grain is more difficult to harvest
without waste than huckwhcat. There Is
no crop that ripcns so cvcn-a portion OF
it being dead ripe-shcling out, while the
rest is ripening. Hence the difficulty OF
harvesting at the right time in order to sc.
cure the largest possible amount OF seed
aud in the best condition. The following
remarks are to the point, though so far as
hay caps are concerned, there is no use in
talking.
Gu. your buckwheat when most Of the
berry can be saved; that is, when the ma
iurity Of the kernels are ripe, or sufficiently
advanced to ripen in the stock when cut.
1t will be seen, by taking this view, that
the grain must be cut rather green, earlier
than is commonly practiced, and that much
milk and many white kernels must be cut
down. Your grain will be cut easier
your straw be better, and the frost be more
aptly robbed Of its plize.
Cut early, then, and put up at once
when the grain is moist, either with rain or
dew. You may avoid tho wet. Put UP
IN good.sizcd stocks. The air will readily
circulate through. And thus there will bt
no sheIllng; you will save all the grain.
10 fully preserve the berry from tb'
rain, we advise hay cps, for the heavy
long rains drown the berry, aud the nOul
loses that vivacity and whiteness which art
native with the grain, but which are SC
rarely seen.
It is in this way alone that buckwh hea,
can be properly securcd--that tho whole
can be secured, and in the best condition
In such case buckwheat -four become,
One of our best brands of -four, il care
fully ground. 1t should not be dlicd to :
crisp before grinding, as is often done
When well secured, as it should BE-. it vii
do to take to the grist mill from the fan
ming mill. Avoid grinding close, for re
member the bran makes up what the floul
loses, and makes one Of the best feeds.

Rjor PRuSixc.-This Is best performed
in autumn, when the.roots are comparativelv
inactive. The object IN view is to check
over.luxuriancc by depriving the trees Of
superHuous food, and to encourage the pro.
duction of blossom buds instead of leaf
buds. Tho amount Of roots tc be cut away
must be in proportion to the yigor Of the
trees; in my opinion more than fourth
part should never bc removed, and that
should consist of the extrelnlties only,
carefully preserving the surface roots. which
should be encouraged BY every possible
means. NV attention was recently direct.
cd to wall of peach trees which had been
root.pr,,ned early in the spring: a trench
had been dug perpendicularly to the flag
flooring at distance Of fou, feet from the
wall, completely divesting the trees Of all
roots beyond that distance; the result evi
IDENTIFY is the destruction Of the trees, and
young ones have been planted TO replace
them. This was accomplished in a first
class garden, which shows that care Is as
necessary III root pruning Us II Is III the
preparat on Of borders.

The dedication of the site of "Battle-

Maj. Gen George B. Mcclellan delivered
the address, as follows -
All nations have days sacred to the re-
membrance of JOY and of grief. They
have th anksgivings for success fastings
and PRAYERS in the hour OF humiliation and
defeat; triumphs and paeons to greet the
living, laurel-crowned victor. They have
obsequies and eulogies for the warrior
slain on the field of battle. Such is the
duty we are to peform to-day. The poe
try. the histories, the orations Of antiquity.
all resound with the .clang of arms; they
dwell rather. upon the rough deeds of war
than the gentle arts ofpeace. They have
preserved to rs the names of heroes, and
the memory of their deeds even to this
distant day. Our own Old Testament
teens with the narrations of the brave ac-
tions and heroic deaths of Jewish patri-
OTIS while the New Testament of our
meek and suffering Savior often selects the
soldier and his weapons to typify and IL
:iustrate religious hsroism and duty. These
stories Of the actions of the dead have fre-
quently survived, in the lapse of ages, the
names of those whose fall was thus COM
memorated centuries ago. But. although
