Egyptian Corn.

Several months since we informed our
readers of the prolific qualities of the Egyp-
tian Corn. 1t surpusscs all anticipations,
and is just the article needed in this country.
To think that an acre of land can yield $50
bushels of good corn, particularly when two
crops can be gathered in year, seems to be
so xaggcraied that it requires the many in
dorsemcnts of the Press in general, and the
best and most reliable men of Virginia to
give it full belief
We have received some Of the corn from
Mr.. Lindsey. Ibe sample is beautiful one.

~ SOLDIER KILLED.-A colored sol.
dier, named Jerry Gales, was killed
yesterday morning, on the Manches-
ter Railroad, about five miles from
here, under the following circumstan-
ees: 1t seems that the deceased and
another soldier had been convicted of
.desertion by a Court Martial at
charleston, and sentenced to u term
of Imprisonment at Fort Macon, to
. which place they were being conveyed
under a squad of soldiers.
Yesterday morning the two priso-
ners, although handcufed, managed
to make their escape by jumping
from a car window while the train
was in motion. Immediately on dis
covering this. two of the guard left
the train, and ensconcing themselves
comfortably in ambush near the road
waited patiently with the hope that
their escaped prisoners would come
along. Sure enough, hardly an hour
and half elapsed before they ap-
peared, seemingly unconscious of dam
ger. The guard fired on them at a
distance of about twenty steps, one
ball entering the body ofJerry Gales,
two inches below the right nipple and
Fl passing out under the left shoulder
blade, inficting almost instantaneous
death.
They had previously broken off
their bracelets, and the other man
took to his heels, but was captured
after short race.
Deceased was private in compa-
c., 10th Regiment Colored Troops.

aTHE MEANEsT SEvRITUDE ON
EARTH" Old fashioned Southern
slavery, or Russian serfdom, could
not be more CALLING to a man of spirit
than the party tyranny which now
rules with an iron rod at Washington,
There is something shecpish and hu-
milating in the spectacle ofgrown-up
men blindlyfollowing the lead ofsome
whose greater boldness and arrogance
have made him their master. If they
were sheep or geese they would only
be acting in conformity with di-
vinely implanted instinct in tagging
after their leader. But wearing the
semblance, and claiming to possess
the attributes of freemen, they ought
to be ashamed to degrade human ma
ture as they do, by bowing their rnecks
to yokes and bending their backs to
lashes.! lis this strong language?
Hear what Congressman himself
says-one who can stand up and
give the world assurance of a man;
one, who,a in the most trying test to
which the honor and sclf-respect of
his class have recently been exposed,
has maintained his independence of
thought: and of action. He writes to
a friend: s.The more l see of public
men the better, / am satisfied that
party slavery is the meanest servi-
tude on earth. ~. Y. Journal Of

F. E. G Lindsey, of Abingdon, Va, has
the genuine Egyptian Corn" which great
many farmers are delighted with. This is a
new corn to this country. and has many mer-
its that do not appertain to other breads.uffs.
1t will ripen as far north as Boston, even
when planted by the last Of July. On rich
land, it will yield $50 bushels to the acre,
and weighs Cog poundsto the bushcl; and for
domestic use it is unparalleled. 1t resembles
flour, and contains So per cent. of nutriment
matter. In the South, two crops year can
be sown. package can be had of Lindsey

which, upon trial, was found to ripen, plant
ed even the last of July. 1t is estimated,
from its very prolific qualities, to yield lao
bushels per acre. and weighs, by sealed meas
use, 65 pounds TO The bushel. This corn was
produced by some procured direct from Mr..
Jones, cur consular agent, directly on his re-
turn from Egypt.
1t needs no different. culture from that Of
other varieties, and in the South two crops
can be raised in one season on the same
ground 1t grows i'll the form of a tree, and
thirty-four ears have grown upon one stock,
and will average FROM FIVE to fifteen. For
domestic use it is unparalleled. When
ground and properly bolted, it is equal in
color and Sneness to wheaton -four. AS q
forage crop, by sowing in drills, or broad
cast, for early feed, there is no kind of corn
so well adapted to milch COWS, and none that
will yield half the value in stalk or corn.
1t can be successfully grown in any State.
| give the most. satisfactory references
that the corn is, in every respect, what
represent it to be, and. further, am the
only person throughout the country who has
this variety of corn. Having secured guam

A New NODE OF FARM1Ma.-l

A New MODE OF FARMIMG.-A
gentleman just arrived in Richmond
describes an amusing scene witnessed
in Louisa county near the. South
Anna river. In a field of land so
poor that it would hardly produce
bushel of corn to the acre, two little
bony Steers were yoked to a plow,
and ahead of them, pulling .lazily
along, were five negroes, hitched up
by means of what our informant calls
shoulder traces" Another negro
was holding the plow handels, and
still another driving the oxen. The
next day it was noticeable that four
women had relieved the men, who
were doubtless fatigucd by their la
bors at the plow. Adjoining this
poor tract on either side were fine
plantations suffering for want of labor,
and none could be procured. What a
commentary on the imbecility and
shiftlesAess Of negro.
