This plantation contains about 1000 acres

when he walked.

flowers no longer bloom to regale his eyes and
spread their fragrance in his path. q And yet
they do not blush unseen, nor waste their
sweetness on the desert AIR; for those who
were once slaves now enjoy all these sights

This plantation was taken possession Of
about two years ago by the United States au-

AGRICULTURAL REPoRT.-The report of the
Department Of Agriculture for the month of
February is issued, and contains in addition to
valuable agricultural and meteorological sta.
tistlcs various articles interesting to the farm
er. Commissioner Newton says:
"Whilst much of the great aggregate value
of the crops is 70 be set down to the difference
between gold and currency values, and con-
siderable to the war demand, yet ne vertheless,
the productive capacities of the country are so
vast that the shock of such a war, and the
weight Of such debt, cannot impede to any
great extent or for any considerable time the
accustomed progress of the nation.
"The value of the leading crops, as estimated
by this department is, for 1862, 500, ,495; tor
1861 1855 764 ,322; for 1854 Sl,4i0415 l35. These
values do not embrace the crops of Kentucky,
which, for want of sufficient returns in 1863,
could not be estimated, but for 1864 will be
found in the general tables, but could not be
embraced in the comparative statement Just
made. The advance IN value during these
three years is 103 per centum, and the chief
causes Of this great increase are shown to be
from the war and the condition of the cur
rency. The advance by the war demand is 80
per centnm; by the currency value, 70 per
Centum."

IMPORTANT EXPLANATION OF THE NRw
ENROLMENT LAw.-Yesterday Col. Bro VINE,
for Marylan and Delaware, issued the follow.
ing for Maryland
"7o the Prorost Mdrshols Of The States Of Dela-
tudre and Observation-Disclosures: The object of
the 23d section Of the amendment OF the enroll
ment act, approved March g. 1865, is to enable
associations to putin recruits to represent their
drafted members. The persons put in under
this section as recruits, are volunteers and not
substitutes. Recruits are entitled to bounties
from the United States according to the length
OF the time of their enlistment. Substitutes are
ties. A party represented by recruit is en-
titled to exemption for one, two, or three
years, according to the period Of enlistment
of the recruit. Such recruits can be enlisted
only after notice of draft, and before the
draft takes place. They must be mep who
are not liable to draft anywhere in the United
States. Associations are entitled to as many
credits as they have recruits to represent
them. The men to be exempted must be des-
ignated before the draft takes place, In the
order in which the credits are to apply. AS
many men will be exempted os there are
crafts, and in the order designated. The
draft must take place for the full quota,
without reference to the recruits. The re-
cruits are only applied and credited after the
draft transpires. The recruits are for the
benefit Of the association they represent. II
more men are drafted from an association
such as are not exempted will be held to per-
sonal service or required to furnish substi-
tutes. 1t a fewer number OF men are drafted
from an association, the surplus will be lost
to the association, and must accrue to the
benefit OF the sub district large; that is to say
the overplus will be counted so many men
obtained under the draft, and will excuse as
many men of the last drawn, the quota being
then supplied, bat it will only excuse such
from liability to this draft, and their names
will be retained on the enrolment lists for all
future drafts. until exempted"
