The Corn Field.

Somewhere along towards the close of the
present. Or about the beginning ofnext month,
that cornfell, or rather the cora growing
therein, will require second looking after;
and as the success of the crop is more de-
pendent on this than either the earlier or later
course of cultivation, let us see that the opera
ton is well and thoroughly performed Per-
haps the double-shovel cultivator is the best
implement you can put into the field at this
time. Look out for the roots. The corn
stalks are growing steady now, and thrusting
out their underground fingers in search of
vigor Disintegrate, pulverise the soil as
effectually as possible-but keep in the center
between the rows with your cultivator The
roots will soon be out there, reyeling in fer
tility.
Let no weed or tuft of grass escape your
vigilance Snatch out Or decapitate without
mercy every weed of them. The fertility they
usurp were more proftably expended on the
corn crop.
It is possible that your cornfeld has not
been sufficiently Or judiciously fertilized so as
to afford maximum crop If so, now is the
proper time to correct that mistake. And it
is cheaply and expeditiously done, provided
you are supplied with che material, as every
farmer ought to be. 1t is simply an applica-
ton of woodashcs dashcd--a handful or two
in among the stalks of each hill Any of
your boys, small chaps, father-n-law, Uncle
Ned, or any one else not available for more
arduous service, are competent to perform the
work liberalization, and wthan open-mouthed
sack of ashes sung under the arm, as the
hand-seeder wears his bag of grain, the SOW
ing of ashes may be rapidly performed
The effect produced by the application of
ashes, at this stage of corn life, is surprising
to one who makes the experiment for the first
time The hard, glossy coating of the corn
stalk, which it is beginning to put on at this
season, and which is necessity of the best
development of the grain, is composed, in
very large proportion of sieY, which requires
the active Offices of. some solvent, before it
can be laid hold of and appropriated by the
plant.
Now as potash is the only ready and reli-
able solvent of silex, and as quite one-half of
the manural agents applied to the corn-ficld
are usually deficient in potash, or at leastthat
material in an available condition, it follows
that woodashes are the very best fertilizing
agent that can be applied to corn at this stage
of its growth. Farmers, save your ashes to
make corn with.

New-York has seldom seen a larger or more
brilliant demonstration than that which yester'
day welcomed the recent great victories Of our
armies as the blessed harbingcrs of honorable
peace. 1t was a glorious day above, below, and
all around. The City fairly blossomed with
bunting; from the tapering masts that fringe
her borders all over the hOuSe.tops, and across
the streets, from every point Of vantage
hoated the glorious banner Of the Free
The streets were thronged with people
nearly al business being suspended, and every
face seemed jubilant with the universal JOY.
All that was promised in the programme was
borne out in the procession. Ii was literally
an army with banners. And it moved through
a throng of persons that numbered many hund-
reds of thousands. It's way was one continuous
ovation. But the battle-scarred veterans carried
off the honors of the day, so prompt IL the
popular heart in response to the appeal OF @

procession, and people were vast and imposing.
1t quietly asserted the unimpaired strength OF
terrific struggle with now waning re-
tellion. 1t also demonstrated that the
wasted armies of the Union might fill
their gaping ranks with recruits enough
to crush the enemy at once and utterly, were
the people as prompt TO do as they are ready to
applaud the heroic deeds Of Others. As q
whole, the affair was a splendid success. II
was. on time, great virtue in these tagging
days. But it might have been improved

chief Of the proposed change in our Consttu.
ton. Was not the Illustration pertinent' II
not, why does not X. b. C. show it fit was,
why does he seek to evade it by talking of the
"bogus Cabinet at Richmond ?" The vital
question concerns what is right and proper in the
premises for any Government and we hold that
Mr.. Benjamins fitness for Secretary of State is
not at all affected by his theologic opinions. X
b. c. holds with Tie Richmond Enquirer on this
point-musi so hold to justify the view he takes
of the main question that divide, us. Then
why not face the test like a man
III. II. b. c. isquite correct in his understand
ing that we are utterly opposed to the religious
test proposed to be embodied in our Constitution.
Whether it is "sectarian" or not, is a question
which we do not care TO discuss; for we are not
Directing to particular test but to any test at
all We do not admit that Mr.. Benjamin IL
properly characterized as an Infidel;" but we
would not have him excluded from office if he
were. To make Infdclity bar to civil Office
would not increase the number of Christians,
but might possibly transform some lnfidels into
hypocrtes; and we do not deem that a desira-
bic change.
III. We deny that this is "Christian ma
ton" France, Spain, Russia, Austria, Mexico
Portugal, Brazil, &c, are Christian nations
no matter how many of their people may be
non Christians; this country is not Christian,
though majority Of its people probably are,
" Almighty God is not the "source Of all au-
,hority and power" in our Government; the
People of the United States are such source.
What II. b. c. urges is a radical change Of base
in this respect. And the objection to this change
is, that it will compel many people to assert
or assent to what they do not believe, under
penalty of personal loss or degradation.
" The Federal Constitution is based on the
idea that Religious Faith i, a purely personal
matter with which civil governments have prop
erly nothing to DO, and with which they cannot
NEEDLE witho., doing far more harm than good.
Having bocn educated in this conviction, we are
very firmly grounded in If. and shall not easily
be converted 70 the opposite faith OF L. Il. {.
We recognize unqualihedly the right to amend,
according TO the constitutional requirement,
even IN a matter so vital as this; but we shall
oppose the effort 10 the extent Of our ability,
and have no fear that il can ever prevail.
