THE HARVEST is approaching, and we are
informed by reliable gentlemen from many parts of
the country that there is not sufficient force to
gather it, should it turn out to be large as it
promises to be. This is an important matter and
should receive the earnest attention OF the Govern
ment. If by any means, it can be done, without
detriment to the public interest, the farmers who
have been forced to leave their farms without
hands to reap the wheat and oats should be
furloughed for ten or fifteen days We throw
out this suggestion, thus early, that those who
have the power may take the matter into considera-
ton, and act for the welfare Of all concerned We
can assure them that unless something of the kind
is done thousands of bushels Of wheat and oats
will be lost; and what is true of Rowan county, is
also true of every other county ia the State and of
the MISUNDERSTANDING Watchn,an.

The MAILs-MAIL CONTRACTORS Congress
has wisely exempted these officials, under certain
restrictions, from military service and il is under
stood that hereafter all such persons will be held
to rigid accountability by the Department for
the faithful performance Of their duties. IL has
not escaped the notice Of the Government or the
press that in many remote regions the contractors
have subjected the wives and moth ers Of our
gallant soldiers to unnecessary pain and distress of
mind by the irreguarty Of their delivery Of public
mails. In some sections Of Virginia and North
Carolina, these irregularities have amounted in
many instances to insupportable grievances, aud
the people at large have determined that in future
those who enjoy the advantages secured by tho
possession Of these contracts shall perform their
duties, or accept the alternative proposition Of
being reported TO the Post Office Department.


These grievances were patiently submitted 70
during last winter; but indolent or speculating
contractors need not hope for the same immunity


in the future which they have enjoyed in the past,
and the corrective will be applied in all cases 10
which they are reported for neglect ofduty That
corrective will be the punishment Of the offender
by the loss Of his contract and the transfer Of his
name from the civil list to the muster roll Of tho
nearest camp of instruction, in which position ho

for Sandusky. The OwegO got as far as
Black River on her way there, and the Ports

THAT ADDREss.-The Red Bluff Iidepen2ea
speaks of an address issued by the Democracy o
Shasta and says that it has not been honore,
equally unfortunate with the Independent, excep
that we did get glimpse of what was considered
mild and conservative extract We under
stand, however, that the address is being private
ly circulated amongst the family of "Demo-
Gratis " who are looked upon in this community
as sound This may be mistake on the part of
our informant because we learn from another
source that the address will not be made public
until the negotiations for peace and harmony
have been gone through with, and treaty of
amity and commerce perfected between the hap
py and patriotic family. If the address should
ever come to light we doubt not that it will be
found to breathe in faint echoes the spirit and
Democracy of the late Nevada address of the
sccessonists of that Territory-every line Of
which smacked of treason.


The ingenious arguments these secessonists
use in their Democratic " addresses to the peo-
pie are both logical and convincing to the sus-
ceptible "copper-heads." They claim that there
ID Ho ulutrenCe between themselves ana lnen
sympathzDg brethren of the Democratic faith
and to prove this fact they show that the rose
water Democracy are in favor Of peace, and thai
they, the true Democrats, are from principle op
posed to war. Now will any sane man contend
for moment that there is the slightest inconsist
ency or distinction between these loving crea
lures? We apprehend not. The only point t.
be decided and determined, as we see, between
the peace Democrats and the antiwar Demo
Gratis, or to speak more correctly, the only dill
ference of opinion understand to be in issu
is, which mode Of attack can be made the mos
efectual on the Administration. To point ou
aud clearly define the proper system to pursu
against the Government is the business of th
secesh politicians who write these " Democratic
addresses. Though we have not seen the ad
dress of the Shasta Democracy, nor its list 0
patriotic endorsers, we will venture to predic
that it was both written and signed by some o
the hungry ones who are in hot pursuit of th
crumbs Of Office under a Government they a
heart hate, and at the hands of IL people who's,
liberty they would destroy if they only possessed
the power to effect their ends

Correspondence of the \. York Times.


President Lincoln, with that
frankness which is one of the
best features of his character,
does pQt deny to his friends that
the /6csll OF Gen. Butler was an
error. Not only is there no
charge on file against him which
could be made the basis of any
such action, but each day devel-
ops morrc!early the tact that
his ADMINISTRATION OF affairs in
the dep&rtment of the Gulf has
been t-eminently success in
every respect.


The Interviews of Gen. Butler
with the President after his re-
turn were Curious. That Gen,
Butler had been treated unfairly,
was undeniabIe bg the President;
but to repair the wrong was a
problem difficult Of solution
The General, without any de-
parture from courtesy, spoke his
sentiments with great frahkness,
and asked, as an act oil justice, to
be re-assigned to his OLD com-
mand. The final answer to his
request has not get been given;
and it is not at all unlikely that
it ay be granted, General
Banks, in his case, being provi-
ded for in Texas.


The history of the change is
also curious. Ii originated In
the wish of Gen. Banks himself
to head an expedition to Texas;
and his request 70 this effect was
willingly granted by the Presl-
dent, who desired to consult his
wishes. How this expedition OF
some ten thousand men grew in
to one of forty thousand, and car
ried with it the command OF
the entire Department OF the
Gulf, is not known in detail; but
it is believed in official circles
here, to have been due to the
skiIlful prestldigitation of a
prominent member OF the Cabi-
net, who had the whole matter
arranged before its consequences
became apparent to the Presl-
dental mind. The animus of
the affair it is not best to expose.


Ii is certain that the President
fully appreciates the great capa-
ity of Gen. Butler, and desires to
do what will make his services
most useful to the country, and
at the same time to repair the
wrong done him.

THIS subject was fully discus
sed at a late meeting ofthe Fruit
Growers Society of Western


New y ork, and men of expert
ence were nearly unanimous In
the opinion that all severe or
heavy pruning should be done in
winter. or before the flow OF sap

leaves have expanded, the loss of

growth of the remaining portions
of the tree. j. vas admitted,
however, that light pruning for
the removal OF an occasional
limb, might be performed late in
spring AID summer, and at this
time the wound healed best.
Large wounds made in winter
should be covered with paint, tar
and whiting, or what is best,
shellac in alcohol. Unless prun-
ing has been neglected when the
trees are young, very little is
needed as they grow older.

In concluding an article on the
d" Sphere of Woman" and in
which it is clearly enough shown
that her true sphere is not confn-
ed to the home circle and the
nursery, the Scientific American
says:


"We may add in conclusion,
that the greater part of the Sci
sntifc american is set up by fe-
male comPositors, and their work
will compare most favorably in
point of accuracy, with that of
men. In deciphering dubious
manuscript, they are certainly
skillful. We are sometimes ac-
cused OF penning characters COM
pared to which those of Rufus
Choate were legible as copper
plate; and it is little singular
that most of the complaints on
this head come from men en-
ployed in the office"

Among the many difficulties with which the

individuals who make it their business, or a

farmer often has occasion to buy, sell or ex-
