How TO RAISE EARLY PorAToEs.

How 70 RAISE EARLY PorAToEs.
\ correspondent Of the Germantown
7elegrm>h thus gives his method of
raising early potatoes: / thoroughly
plough the ground as early rs the
spring will permit, put it in d nice
condition, and strike out the rows the
same as corn-three feet apart. and
shallow: Then drop the seed about
fifteen inches apart, and cover with a
hoe; about one inch deep is sufficient
to keep out frost, and the heat of the
sun on the surface soon sprouts the
potatoes. [ generally grow buckeyes
for early potatoes; there may be earlier
varieties, but not SO good. Last season.

OF june. and that was before there
was any potatoes il the market, ex-
cept a few from Norfolk. don't

plan of raising potatoes is equally

No1r 20 Mitigate the Oppression, OF
the sherman Bill.


The Louisville JouHtN comments
to the Executive and his subordinate
commanders that their participation
IN the sherman bill and the oppres-
sions of the Same shall be mitisated
as much rs possible by the issuance
of some such order as that of Gen.
Boyle, after L wear or tWo's cxpc-
rience of the multifarious rascalities
incident TO the rule of provost-mar
shals IN Kentucky. For instance:
l. "a written record of all proceed
ings against citizens not in the mill
tary service.
2. "Io prevent unreasonable seiz-
nres, arrests and Searches there
shall be none such ''but upon pro-
bable cause, supported by oath or af-
tirmatlon, and particularly describ-
ing the place to be searched and the
person or things TO be seized
,. NO person shall be compelled
to be witness against himself. >
/. "The accused shall enjoy 4
speedy and pubiic trial, to be in
formed OF the nature and cause Of
the accusation, also of the name of
the accuser and the accuser's wit
ncsses, with written copy of the
charges, to be furnished at least two
days before trial
5. 1.-The accused shall enjoy the
right to be confronted with the Wit
nesses against him; to have com
pulsory process for obtaining wit
nesses i'll his favor; and to have the
assistance OF counsel for his defence;"
and, where it can be done without
strong special reasons to the contrary,
majority Of the commission for his
trial shall be composed Of officers
who then arc or heretofore have
been citizens Of the State in Which
the offence is charged to have been
committed.
6. "No thumb-screw, gagging or
other personal punishment, besides
Incarceration with proper allowance
of food and hanging, shall be used
by any commission.
1t is not sufficient objection to
this plan that most of its clauses are
copied from the Constitution of the
United States. Indeed, the fact that
to execute the provisions of the Sher-
man bill, rs the President will feel
himself compelled to do, is itself to
subvert by force the civil authority
of ten States, and is thus to fill out
the entire definition of treason laid
down by the United States Supreme
Court in the Bollman case, lays upon
the President, and the commanders
whom he has selected, a RESPONSE
bility which they should be glad Of
any opportunity to mitigate.

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
The following resolution was passed
IN the House of Representative on
Monday:
Whereas religion, morality and
knowledge are (in tie language of
Jefferson) necessary to good govern
ment and the happiness of mankind.
therefore schools and the means of
public education should be forever
established;' and whereas, from va
rlons causes, the interests of popular
education have been so greatly ne
elected in the States lately in rebel
hon that nearly one-half of the vot
ing population therein 1T the present
time are unable to read and write:
therefore,
'Resolced, That this House cx-
presses its earnest desire that the
people Of the States lately in rebel
lion will, in re-organizing the same
IN accordance with the existing laws
Tor that purpose, insert in their re-
spective State Constitutions a nrovi-
sion requiring the Legislature to es-
tablish and maintain system of free

LABoEEHs. The prospects of Ia

IABoEERs. The prospects Of Ia
boring men in New York are reported
to be gloomy. The master builders
say that tie strikes of mechanics
have had the effect of repressing
various branches Of industry. They
say the workmen receive nearly
twice as much wages as in former
times, and desire to do less work
to-day, which makes labor so dear
that capitalists are afraid to employ
it. On the other side, the laboring
men state that they cannot live on
present wages, owing to the greatly
increased rents and high prices Of
everything. The troubles on labor
questions are such that the prospects
for both employer and employed arc
not very encouraging.

CHARLOTTE, June 8, 1857.

posed principally of the patrons of the school No
extended preparations had been made and the pu-
pills had not been informed till within few days
beforehand, that there would be an examination
The classes carried rapidly the studies
Of the half session just ended, examined upon gene
raj rules and principles, with frequent exenplifca-
tons, showing that these rules and general prin-
ciples had been taught and studied with a view to
practical results The examination of each class
gave unmisakable evidences of thorough and prac-
teal instruction on part of the Professors and
Teachers, with corresponding progress on part of
the pupils The Algebra easses--the Junior by
Professor Jones and the Sophomore by Miss Lee
are especially commended for the ciearness with
which they enunciated and the readiness and accu-
racy with which they solved the most difficult pro-
bems.
The compositions read from the rostrum by the
young ladies, in couples land not prepared for the
occasion, but selected from composition books Of
the past half SESSION. were highly credtasle TO all
some of them remarkably fine. not ONLY for
and beauty of style, but also for the clear
ness, distnctness and proprety of emphasis with
which they were read.
The Juvenile classes taught and were exam
ined by Miss Bernheim, and We unhestatngly say
that their progress has been not only highly COM
mendable but really astonishing. Nothing could
surpass the rrompness, enGfrncss and correctness
with which even the smaliest chilaren answered
questions and gave definitions. The examination
of these classes especially in Geography and Arith
M etic, was deeply interesting and highly gratifying
showing not only remarkable progress and remark

had been taught by induction and not by compulsion
