farmers 1spari5lIllil:eIi,
SAVE YouR MEADOWS.

" :.
We learn that some of our farmers
are ploughing up their meadows, fol
corn crop, under the idea that as
the war is nearly over, there would
be little demand for hay next season.
This is 8 great mistake and one which
they will find out when too late
Hay may not sell for s25 per ton, as
it has for the two past years, but
even at s15, it would pay better than
corn, at sl0, or it would be remuner-
ative. Now that labor is high, and
scarce, a prudent farmer will cult
vate bis land in crops that require
least outlay to produce. The differ
ence in cost of producing crop of
hay, or one of corn on the same
ground, is too apparent to require
any argument. Save your meadows
another season at least. You cannot
lose by doing SO, which you are
pretty sure to do, if broken up and
planted in corn. OF course corn will
also bring a fair price, but not
enough to Justify the increased ex-
pendltures that are required to Sc
cure the hay crop.

A corresp ondent of the New York

sketch of the Office of the provost

tenant Colonel Fred. L. Manning, of
the Army of the James. A motley
crowd, numbered by hundreds,
throng the door, and are let in few
at a time by sentinel. The Colo
mel attends to their cases at the rate
ofabout six a minute.
There are few more interesting
places than the provost marshal's
Office of a lately captured city. Let
US listen a moment to what these
people have to say:
There's lot of soldiers taking
away my fish, and l don't want to
sell the fish at all. and they give me

"a prompt and brave readiness TO defend
her character against aspersions on account
OF her political and physical defeat. Some

To Messrs. J. G. McNeel, John Haynie,

Your communication of August 1st, has
this moment been handed to me.
If it were in any wise reedful, should
feel it quito impossible TO find terms adc-
quate to the full expression of the sensa-
tions your very interesting paper has elicit
ed. If il be possible for me to contribute
anything TO the relief of our venerated ex-
President Davis, from the painful circum-
stances that surround him, l know Of no
worldly purpose to which the brief remnant
of my life would be moro choerfully devot-
cd. While have noticed with deep sym
pathy the cruel exclusions TO which his in.
carceration is subjected, cannot conceive
it possible that any respectable portion of
the North are desirous to consummate his
sufferings by the shedding of his blood, and
Transforming the late heroic Chief Magis-
trate Of our subdued Confcderacy, into an
acknowledged martyr to the cause of po-
litical freedom. What benefit can accrue to
the North, or the South, OF the world, by
adding q few more drops TO The ocean Of
blood, that has been shed in the late unhnp-
py controversy? Itmay crafty The malig-
nifty Of a few that are clamaroas for his
blood, but must offend the deepest sensibil-
tiles Of the right minded Of all Chrislen-
dom. When God said, VengeS0es Is mine,
He did not design, as believe, that the
blood Of jefferson Davisshonl atane for The
errors Of the great secession any more than
yours or mine.
Averse, as I have long been, to appearing
before the public on any occasion, and
doubtful Of my ability TO render any Talua-
be service to our common friend, submit
myself to your disposal with The simple
pledge 70 20 what may be possible for me,
in he furiherance Of your beneTolonf in
tentions. Very respectfully.
