How to set out Strawberry Plants.

There is no better time in the year for set
ting out Strawberry plants than the present
month, fonly little pains is taken to shade
them from the sun. Set out the roots in
rows or hills and then shelter them with a
long plank, kept up by support at each end,
about six inches from the ground. With
this shelter and occasional watering, every
plant may be warranted to live and bear fruit
next year, while if transplanting is deferred
till February, there will be no crop to speak
Of
The following method of setting out is I'M
doubtedly the best, and although it is slow
work, it is we'll worth while, where the plants
are ofvery choice varieties. After he ground
for the Strawbery-bed has been properly
prepared, scoop out hole six inches across
by four deep pile some good earth in the
middle of the hole, three. inches high and
press it up with the hand into the shape of a
tea-cup, bottom side up; place the plant on
the top of this pile and spread out over its
sides the hair like roots, then bring the damp
earth up around the plant, pressing it close.
In this way the roots will be as nearly as pos
sible in their natural position in the ground,
and each root will have room to feed with
out drawing nourishment fir ON the rest.

THE FUTURE WITH FREE LABOR.

In another speech at the same place Mr..
Chase said
''And with the removal of this element of
strife and contention with free labor hard
at work developing the resources of the
South; with freedom everywhere-no man
obliged to work unless his EMPLOYER will
give him honest wages, but every man wish
ing to work because he personally shares in
the prosperity his labor produces-do YOU
hesitate to believe that we will be economi-
cally and politically better off than ever we
have been before?
l am firm in this faith. This rebellion
Will die and our country will live. and we

VIEWS OF HON. SALMON P. CHASE,
On some of the Questions now before
the Country.
FREE LABOR.

In a speech at Cincinnati in 1853, Mr.
Chase said:
How well remember when the ground
on which this stately house now stands, was
part of an open square, terminated Just here
by steep bluff over the street where you
now are, and occupied only by the modest
dwelling of Jacob Burnet, that distinguished
and venerated pioneer and citizen, now gone
to his rest. used sometimes to come here
when boy, and how happy l was if chan
ced to attract his kindly recognition. But
now, my friends, what do we see? A great
city, crowded by an intelligent populetion,
and with all the means of unsurpassed pros
perity; q city full of schools, churches,
workshops, and all the instruments of pro-
gress and culture. Do you ask whence come
all this progress and prosperity; whence
come all these evidences of the highest civil
ization |? The answer leaps to all lips
these are the fruits of free labor and popular
government. The lesson is obvious. Free
labor and popular government are the
greatest OF human interests" (Cheers.)
Again, in the same speech, he continues,
arguing that labor will be free -
Now, on the other hand, whence comes
this great trouble in which our country is in
volved2 Not elsewhere, believe me, than
from the refusal of the slaveholdidg aristoc-
racy to allow freedom to labor, or to recog-
nize the right of the masses to govern the
country. (Cheers) But labor will be free,
and the masses will govern, in spite of all
the aristocracy between the Ohio and the
Gulf"

The Antietam Anniversaries. &c.

VI.
AT Antietam just West of the main stand
and within the Cemetery enclosure, is lime
stone rock some six feet long by two or
three feet,-known far and wide through
out the Washington country as Lees rock,
from the fact that Gen. Lee stood there du-
ring the iercest of the fight at Antietam,
directing the operations of the Confederate
Army. During the dy Il parties of curiosity
hunters were busily engaged in chipping off
pieces of the rock as relics.
McClellan's position during the battle was
pointed out near red farm house. in DO
sition little less commanding than that
occupied Ivy Gen. Lee.

Bradford, showed that among the Pennsyl.
Tanlans present there was an under current of
Ill feeling on account of some slight, real or
fancied, to their Governor, by his name not
appearing in the programme The outcry
for Geary, for the time being, was overpower-
eel by the calls for the President, and pre-
vented word of the reading of the poem
from being heard.
The brass band essayed to perform piece
with as little effect, and finally, after hurried
consultation on the stand, Gov. Geary was
induced to present himself and say that the
programme should be gone through with
without interruption. He subsequently
spoke after the proceedings were ended,
showing considerable feeling.
The President and members of the Cabinet
left the stand while Gov. Geary was speaking,
in order to proceed to Reedsville to take the
train, and this proceeding was taken by
some OF the friends of the Governor as an
Intentional slight
He opened his speech:
Fellow Citizens After all YOU have
heard to-day, I supposed you would want
nothing more. The programme opened and
concluded with prayer Those who have
waited must come in at the last hour, but

Hon. B. F. Perry, of South Carolina, in a
recent letter says that there are two plans of
disposing of the negro. He says Zone is.
to let them remain in the Southern States, as
free men, entitled to equal rights, in the pro-
lection of their lives, property and liberty,
before the law; but do not force on them
political rights, which they are incapable OF
exercising wisely or prudently and in the ex-
ercise of which must result their destruction
The next best plan which suggests itself to-
my mind, is to colonize them, in one or two
States, as separate or distinct community,
or nation, as has been done with the Indians,
The lands may be purchased by the Govern
ment for this purpose. If they could be sent
to Liberia, and supported there for twelve
months, it would be infinitely better Could
not this be done in the course of ten or.
twenty years 2 Those sent first would make
provision for others who are to follow"
How would it do to COLOMBO Mr.. Perry.
and Others of his stamp2 We think with
Gen. Pope that if some thousands of such
as Gov. Perry were colonized some where,
outside the United States, we should have,
better times. Our loyal people would no,
doubt very cheerfully bear tax for thisp
