Pillage on a Small Scale.

A great many farmers entertain a
thorough contempt Of the "little
things" in farm economy con-
tempt that is groundless and which
often results in complete neglect. A
man who annually tills his hundreds
of broad acres grows proud !; he loves
to do things on a grand scale to him
the idea of ga hudred acres of wheat, I"
''two hundred acres Of corn" etc"
is something nobly proportional, and,
deoeiEedsby that idea of space, ho
scorns to calculate the products of a
few odd rods. And yet how often
the judicious tillage of small piece
of choice soil would balance the
wholesale loss ofhis hundreds of arcrs
of wheat which fell q prey to the
chinch bug, tho wcevil, the rust, or
any othcref ''the countless ills that
aoheat is heir to, leaving him. per-
haps, bankrupt and despairing.-
These "littlo Things" are not to be
despised. Large fortunes have been
accumulated by little gains; and
fortunes have often beer drained by
little losses resulting from little neg
lects. A hint to q thinking person
as better than a fall explanation !:
he can supply the illustrations and
make the applications for himself !;
and this is profitable if not agreea-
bic duty, which we will leave for him
to perform,

natural, under the circumstance, no imne

she did not return, search was instituted. The
fears aroused by finding her hat on the river
hank were fully realized BY the discovery next

THE NEW YEAR.

We embrace the occasion to wish all our
good friends and patrons "Happy New
Year" We trust that before the period
upon which we shall enter tomorrow, shall
end. we shall all have witnessed the restora-
tionof all that we hold necessary to complete,
a perfect Government, depending upon the
consent of its people for its formation and
continuance; that those who have been I'M
fortunate may have, to a reasonable degree,
recovered from their trouble; that this great,
this magnificent land, may be able to boast
Of united, just, a fair and honest and
prosperous people; and that we may have
entered again upon the high-road to happi-
ness, to liberty regulated by law, and to
that splendid national destiny which, for the
generations to come, depends SO much upon
the wisdom, and prudence, and the generous
exertions of the present.
We cannot allow the occasion to pass,
either, without expressing to our brethren Of
the Press, our grateful acknowledgements,
for the very kind reception they have given
us, and the more than just words of high
commentator in which they have spoken Of
us and the Union and American :"
To those who have, in so many private
letters spoken fatteringly and encouraging
ly, our friends known and unknown, person
ally, we desire to express our most grateful
appreciation. Whilst we are the Witnesses
of so much genuine, disinterested friendship
and good feeling we cannot despair of hu-
man virtue and goodness.

have made their reports upon the temper
and condition Of the Southern people, They
were sent by the President for the purpose
of learning and reporting the facts. They
saw the facts from different stand points,
and of course differ materially in the con-
illusions at which they arrived. The former
thinks the Government has ample reason to
be satisfied with the disposition of the peo-
pie Of the Southern States towards the Gov
eminent, and that there exists no sufficient
cause why they should not be admitted
TO participation in the functions of Govern
ment. The latter thinks an indefinite period
Of probation is necessary, in order to give
time for trying certain governmental exper-
iments, which radical reformers have set
their hearts on.
Does il take a sensible man long to decide
which is the more capable to give a sound
opinion in the matterf Gen. Grant is, and
was for year before the termination OF the
war, the commander in chief Of the armies
Of the nation. He was elevated to that posi-
ton for brilliant successes which had attend
ed his career in subordinate capacities. He
is marked for his common sense and gener-
al knowledge Of men and things. He is dis

views. His course as public man has thus
far been success--the experience Of the
world presents few instances so complete. To
the sword, in his hand, the Southern people

branch of reconciliation and peace.

failed to note it. A ripe scholar, he is yersed
