This journal discourses under our heading
concerning lectures and lecturers, and why,
in towns not without sufficient culture and lit
erszy taste to afFOrd abundant pattonaes for
the support Of an intellectual entertainment,
course of lectures is frequently attempted,
opened with eclat, and fail signally before the
season is over. 1t isn't en- exhaustive resume
of the subject. Many reflections will occur
to the thoughtful reader not set down herein
"a lecture, like play, an opera, or any
other amusement, to command patronage,
must be popular. The weight of a name may
draw once or twice but if it is dead weight
the public grow tired in carrying it, and de-
cline repeating the experiment. At the same
time, it is undoubtedly true that, the wider
the reputation Of the lecturer, the better he Is
apt to please for it is rare that any man
achieves fame without something more than
ordinary merit to build upon. :.
GA mistake, that is frequently made, is in
employing lecturers whose themes are OF no
practical value. The general public is not 80
| much cultured a. practical, and desires some
| thing solid and real in exchange for its money.
The subject Of taking lecture will usual
/ ly be found to be historical, scientific, or
| amusing A lecture upon certain phases OF
society, or society in general, narration OF
travels, or such lecture as that recently de-
| livered in this city by Hon. Schuyler Colfax,
which deals in practical matters, lectures on
art, lectures on chemistry, and lectures that
| deal with the principles upon which politics
are based, delivered by scholars, statesmen
or generals of renown, are pretty sure to draw.
But it is rarely that lecturer less gifted than
Emerson should attempt abstruse and delicate
| subtileties of character. or any merely literary
or fanciful theme whatever. We have seen
score of fine writer's of sentiment, like Dr..
| Holland, fail to attract audiences, where a
| much less gifted person, with lecture on pc.
troleum, or some other practical matter, OF
general public interest, would have drawn q
| full house.
Sentiment is excellent culture is admira-
BILE; but the public, while it loves to have its
! literary banquet garnished with delicacies, m
sists upon plain roast beef or ordinary turkey
1 for the piece de resistance "Facts-facts,"
as Gradgrind Observed facts dressed in an
attractive garb, but stil not too much con-
cealed-are the things men are willing to pay
| for.
With judicious selections by the lecture
committees, judicious selections of subjects by
the lecturers, and judicious advertising, many
town and village can enjoy the lecture
season probably to all concerned, where
former experiments have failed from one oi
the causes mentioned.

Last Sunday Mr.. Lincoln, Gen. Grant,
Admiral Porter and other distinguished
gentlemen reviewed the Gath and 25th
Corps of this army.
The HeTaLFs Washington special SAYS
President Lincoln did not return to-day ss
was expected. It is uncertain now when
he will be here. There is q report in cir
culation here tonight, that he is detained
by propositions for renewal of peace
negotiations, while there is nothing to con
firm the report. 1t is not improbable that
he may, before his return, arrange with
General Grant for the reception and con-
sideration of any propositions that General
Lee may have to make, locking to a cessa-
tion of armed opposition to the Constitu-
ton and the laws.
Most of the morning papers have details
of fighting in North Carolina, but they con-
tain nothing new. They all agree that the
sudden and overwhelming attack of the
rebels, on the 18th, was what johnson
claimed as rebel victory, for they hsnked
and drove back the l4th corps mile and q
half, but the tide was turned next day by
our reinforcements coming up. The rebels
were routed and scattered in all directions,
and some claim that Sherman took 1000
prisoners

Grain aud FruIf.

We clip from our exchanges the follow
ing opinions in regard to grain and fruit
Thus far the growing wheat crop in this
part Of the State is exceedingly promising
No one could desire q better prospect for
an abundant harvest. Ne have not been
back far from the river, but along the Mi
ami from Piqus to Dsyton-sbout thirty
mles-the fields are quite green, and sp-
pear to have suffered but little by the win
ter freezing. Should the remainder of the
season prove favorable, good crops will be
realizsd.-Mia1si Times.
We have made considerable inquiry and
some personal observation concerning the
fruit buds about Cleveland, and find va
riety of prospects. On the heavier soils
west and south of the city, the report il
most favorable. Elliott, Pesse, and others
from the Rockport region, think there sre
live buds enough for sfsir crop of peaches
and plenty of cherries. VIM A. Ryder, 8
nursery man and fruit grower st RUysk0n
on the south line of the county, reports
quite favorably of both peaches snd cher.
ries. On the sandy soils TO the eastward o.
Cleveland, the peach prospect is not &c
good, but we think our great cherry croE
will be abundant, and this is the headquar
ters OF foe cherries.-Ohio Farmer.
The prospects are now fsttering for 1
large crop of fruit of all kinds. Whea
generally looks well throughout this sec
ton, and farmers are commencing thei
spring work.-Frentont Journal.

on both sides heavy.
Brigsdier General Terry was badly
wounded during the engagement.
The enemy msssed his artillery heavily
in the neighborhood of the captured fort
and was thus enabled to pour such terri
