That sun-burnt farmer boy, Whose footstep rings with music, Aud eye is lit with joy ; Upon whose cheek, suu-darkened, The rose of health he wears, And whose clear gushing laughter Hath not a sound of tears. What though in russel jacket, And coaise and homespun shirt, And with a hand toil hardened That hath a trace of dirt; And boots so torn and battered, His toes scarce keep within, And hat, through many a cranny The sunbeams nestle in. Up in the morning early, The sleek, fat cows to bring, Or up the green slope toiling With water from the spring; Then far off to the meadow, Where stands the ripened hay, AH ready to be gathered— He helps as best he may. No wonder that he catches The light from summer skies, As lovely and as peaceful. To tremble in his eyes ; And every flower springing, And bird, in dewy dell, Their music and their sweetness Send to his heart to dwell. God's blessing rest upon him, The sun-burnt fanner boy, With nature for his teacher. His life shall be a joy ; Not low and si'lfish grasping. Despite his brow of tan, God and good men shall knowhim As one who is a man. The plough, the hoe, theshovel Shall one daygreater be Than ever crown and scepter— When mind, enchained, is free; Then, for your jeweled monarchs, Now, may ye shout and sing, For in the "good time coming," The farmer will be king !

ARQUS.] But we of the regular army have no States to look to for honors due to our dead. We belong to the whole country. We can neither expect nor desire the General Government to make, perhaps, an individual distinction in our favor. We are few in numbers, a small baud of comrades, united by peculiar and very binding ties. For, with many of us, our friendships were commenced in boyhood, when we rested beneath theshadow of the grauite hills which looked down upon us where we stand; with others the ties of brother hood were formed in more mature years—while fighting amid the rugged n.ountains and fertile valleys of Mexico—witliin hearing of the eternal waves of the Pacific—or in the lonely prandjur of the great plains ol the fur West. With all, our love and confi- dence has been cemented by common dangers and sufferings—on the toilsome march, in the bivouac, and amid the clash of arms and the presence of death on scores of battle-fields. West Point, with her large heart, adopted us all— graduates, andthose appointed from civ- il life—officers and privates. In her eyes we are all her children, jealous of her fame, eager to sustain her world- wide reputation. Generals and private soldiers, men who have cheerfully offered their all fur our dear country, we stand here before this shrine, ever hereafter sacred to our dead, equals aud brothers "n the presence of the common death which awaits us all— perhaps in the same field and at the same hour,tiuchare the ties which unite us—the most en- dearing that exist among men ; such the elatious which bind us together—the closest of the sacred brotherhood of arms. It has therefore seemed, and it is fitting, hat we should erect upon this spot, sa- cred to us all, an enduring monument to ur dear brothers who have preceded us n the path of peril and of honor which t is the destiny of many of us some day o tread. What is this regular army to which we belong ? tier, and engaged in harassing and dan- gerous wars with the Indiana of ths plains. Thus thirteen long years were spent, until the present war broke cut, ucd the mass of the army was drawn in to be employed against a domestic foe. I cau not proceed to the events of the recent past and present without advert- ing to the gallant men who were so long of our number, but have now gone to their last home ; for no small portion of tho glory of which we boast was expected from such men as Taylor, Worth, Bra- dy, Brooks, Totten, and Duncan. There is a story of Venetian history that has moved many a heart, and often employed the poet's pen and painter's pencil. It is of an old man whose long life was gloriously spent in the service of the stjte as a warrior and a statesman, aud who, when his hair was whiteand his feeble limbs could scarce carry his bent form towards the grave, attained the highest hocor that a Venetian citizen trumpet forth its praisei.. It can proud- ly appeal to the numerous fields from the tropics to the frozen bauks of the St. Lawrence ; from the Atlantic to the PaciSa, fertilized by the blood, and whitened by the bones, of its members. But I will not pause to eulogize it; let its deeds speak for it; they are more eloquent than tongue of mine. could reach. He was Doge of Venice. Convicted Who were the men whose death mer- ts such honors from the living ? What is thecause for which they have aid down their lives ? Our regular or permanent army is the lucleus which in time of peace preserves he military traditions of thenation, as well as the organization, science, and in- struction indispensable to modern armies. It may be regarded as coeval with the nation. It derives its origin from the old Continental and state lines of the Revolution, whence with some interrup- tions and many changes, it has attained its present condition. In fact, we may with propriety go even beyond the Rev- olution to seek the roots of our geneal- ogical tree in the old French wars ; for ihe cis Atlantic campaigns of tho seven years war were not confined to the " red men scalping each other by the great lakes of North Ameripa," aud it was in them that our ancestors first participated as Americans in the large operations of civilized armies. American regiments then fought on the bauks of the St. Lawrence and the Ohio, on the shores of Ontario and Lake George, in the is- lands of the Caribbean, aud in Bouth America. Louisburg,Quebec, Duquesne, the Moro and Porto Bello attest the val- or of the provincial troops and in that school were educated such soldiers as Washington, Putman, Lee, Montgom- ery and Gates. These and men like Greene, Knox, Wayne and Steuben were the fathers of our permanent army, and under them our troops acquired that dis- cipline and steadiness which enabled them to meet upon equal terms and often to defeat the tried veterans of England The study of the history of the Revolu tion and a perusal of the dispatches of Washington, will convince the most skeptical of the value of the permanent army in achieving our independence, and establishing the civil edifice which we are now fighting to preserve. The war of 1812 found the army on a footing far fr'>m adequate to the emergency, but it was rapidly increased, and of the new generation of soldiers, many were found equal to the requierments of the occasion. Lundy's Lane, Chippewa, Queenstown, Plattsburg, New Orleans, all bear wit- ness to the gallantry of tho regulars. Then came an interval of more than 30 years of external peace, marked by many changes in the organization and strength of tho regular army, and broken at times by tedious aud bloody Indian wars. Of these the most remarkable were the Black Hawk war, met uuflichingly a in which our troops foe as relentless and far more destructive than the Indians — that terrible scourge, the cholera—aud the tedious Florida war, where, for so many years, tho Scmiuoles eluded in their pestileutial swamps our utmost ef- forts, and in which were displayed such traits of heroism as that commemorated by yonder monument to Dado and his command, when " all fell save two, with- out an attempt to retreat." At last camo the Mexican war to replace Indian con- tests and the monotony of frontier ser- vice, and the first time in many years the mass of theregular army was concentra- ted, and took the principal part in the battles of that remarkable aud romantic Kesaca, and Fort achievements of the regulars united ; and as to the battles of Monterey, Buena Vista, Vera Cruz, Cer- ra Gordo, and the final triumphs in tho valley, none can truly say that they could have been won without the regulars. When peace crowned our victories in war. Palo Alto, Brown were the of treason against the State, he not only lost his life but suffered besides a penal- ty which will enduro as long as the name of Venico is remembered. Tho spot where his portrait should havo hung in the great hall of the Doge's palace was veiled with black, and there still the frame remains with its black mass of can- vas; andthis vacant frame is the most conspicuous in the long line of effigies of illustrious Doges! Ob, that such a pall a< that which replaces the portrait of Murino Faliero could conceal from his- tory the names of those, once our com- rades, who are BOW iD arms agaiust the flag under which we fought side by side in years gone by. But no veil, however thick,can cover the auguish that (ills our hearts when we look back upon the sad memory of the past, and recall the af- fection and respect we entertained toward men against whom it is now our duty to act in mortal combat. Would that ihe courage,ability,and steadfastness they display hadbeeu iu the defense of tho Stars and Stripes against a foreign foe, rather thau in this fatuitous aud unjusti- fiable rebellion, which could net have been so loug maintained but for the skill aud energy of these, our former com- rades. But we have reason to rejoice that up- on this day, so sacred and eventful for us, one grand old mortal monument of the past stijl lifts higli his head among us, and should havo graced by his pres- ence the consecration of this tomb by his children. We m;iy well be proud that we are here commanded by the hero who purchased a victory with his blood near the grout waters of Niagara; who repeated and eclipsed the achievements | of Cortes; who, alttough a consummate ' and confident commander, ever preferred, when duty and honor would permit, the olive bracch ot peace to the blood stained laurels of war; and who stands at the close of a long, glorious, and eventful life, a living column of granite, against which havu beaten alike the blandishments and storms of treason. His name will over, ever be one of our proudest boasts aud most moving iuspira tions. Iu lont; distant ages, when this incip- ient monument has become venerable, moss clad, and perhaps ruinous; when the uames inscribed upon it ttball seem to those who pause to read them indis tinct mementoes of an almost mythical past, tho name of Winfield Scott will still be clear cut upon the memory of all, ike the still fresh carving upon the mon- uments of loug-forgotten Pharaoh's. But it is time to approach the pres- ent. In the war which now shakes the land to its foundation the regular army has borne a most honorable part. Too few in numbers to act by themselves, regular regiments have participated in every buttlu in the East, and most of those west of the Alleghanics. Their terrible losses anddiminished numbers prove that they have been in the thick- est of the fight, and the testimony of their comrades and commanders show with what undaunted heroism they have upheld their ancient renown. Their vig- orous charges have often won the day, and in defeat they have more than ouce saved the army from destruction or ter- rible losses by the obstinacy with which they resisted overpowering numbers. They can refer with pride to the part they played upon tho gloriousfieldsof Mexico, and exult at the recollection of what they did at Manassas, Gaines' Mills, Malvern, Antietatu, Shiloh, Stone Ilivcr, Gettysburg, and the great battles just fought from the Kapidan to tho Cbichahominy. They can point also to the officers who have risen from among them, and achieved great deeds for their country in this war, to the living war- riors whose names are upon the nation's tongue and heart, too numerous to be re- peated here, yet not one of whom I would willingly omit. But perhaps the proudest episode in the history of the regular army is that touching instance of fidelity on the part of tho uou commis- sioned officers and privates, who, trai- torously made prisoners in Texas, resis- ted every temptation to violate their oath and desert their Hag. Offered commis sions in the land freely scorned the rebel service, money and tendered them, they all induoements held out to them, submitted to the.r hardships, aud, when at last exchauged, avenged them selves on the field of battle for the un- availing insult offered their integrity. History affords no brighter example of honor than that of these bravo men, tempted, as I blush to say they were, by some of their former officers, who, hav- ing themselves proved false to their flag, endeavored to seduce the men who fol lowed them in combat, and who had re- garded them with respeot and love. Such is the regular army ; such its the capital of the Montezumas, the army ' history and antecedents; such its ofSoers ,?at oDOe dispersed over the Jong fron- *D<* i*e men.

To the President, ollicers and members of Uie Historical Society of the Stute of Michigan : GENTLEMEN'—Sirs: I have the honor, in behalf of the Lieutenant Colonel com- manding the 1st Michigan Cavalry, and the field, staff, and line officers of the same, to forward to you the tattered standard of our regiment.

The Washington Chronicle has the fol lowing account of the counterfeit treas- ury notes: " There have been received at the office of the United States Treasurer government notes of the denominations of fifties aud tens, which have bee~n al- tered, the former from twos and the lat ter from ones, by splitting tho numbers on the backs of tho fractional currency and substituting them for the numbers origiually ou the larger notes. These notes thus changed have come iu consid- erable numbers to the office of the United States Treasurer, General Spinner, and doubtless many of them are in eircula tion among the people. The substitu- tion, however, is not very skilfully made, and a critical examination clearly dis- covers the fraud. The public are cau- tioned against receiving or passing any note thus changed, as the penalties at- tached to counterfeiting will be rigidly eufurced. " As there often arise doubts as to the genuineness of tho postal currency, those who observe the following facts can read- ily distinguish between a counterfeit aud a genuine note : As counterfeiters are obliged to wet-print their imitations on account, of the tremendous machinery that is requi^ito for dry-printing, all counterfeits sire smaller than the genu- ines, and the heads on the front are not so well executed. These are differences readily observable, so that no one need entertain doubts in receiving or passing notes of the fractional currency. Miscellaneous and News Items. An ofiaoder fined a second time ii not nocessarily refined. Many a judge has passed hundreds of sentences who could never parse one. Niuty-eight homestead entries were made at the Traverse City Land Office during tho month of M:iy. It has been decided by the War De- partment that the chaplains are not entit-led to coxrautution of Feed or iu tions. The rhubaib crop in Connecticut finds no takers, the sug:ir necessary to make it palatiibln being so high. It is used for fertilizing- purposes. A week or two ago Col. do Ch;ui:i- land and Capt. Guzman arrived in this country from France, where they had been sent by their government to report on anything which they might deem worthy of notice relative to military 8cienco and aflairs. The Morris Island correspondent of the Philadelphia Press reports that the rebels have seven ironclads of different patterns built or being built in Charles- ton harbor. The report that the)' have partially repaired Fort Sumpter and have mounted new guns is confirrnod. A California paper relates the story of a woman whoso husband was killed after she had been married four weeks. In three weeks more she married again ; that husband lived two weeks. In two weeks after he died, she married his brother, and six months after her last marriage she gave birtb to a cbild by her first busbacd ! Journalism and Advertising- The daily newspaper proas owes i*,s character for ability and enterprise to its pecuniary resources, and the main source of its revenue is advertising. The rich- est journal in the world—the one that has the most immense business income-— is the London Times, and it is, by general consent, the ablest and most influential. The leading New York papers rank high- est in general merit andinfluence and this side of the Atlantic for the very same reason that the London Tim?s stiindo at the head oi' the press on the other. There is, of course, a certain su- periority of position to be taken into the account. The place where a daily paper is pub- lished gives it an important advantage over the oue less favorably situated. London, in the opposite hemisphere, and New York in this, are the great centres of uews from all quarters of the habit- able ulobe ; atd iu that single fact the journals of those two cities, as compared with the provincial press, possess a .means of excellence which, while not to be attributed to them as a merit, though it is so accredited by the unreflecting public, forms a most essential condition of their relative superiority. But even ' u: - circumstance, contributing, as it withheld their patronage, they throw the i journalist upon the support of those to ! -yhoni be is ooMpeHed, in self defense, to yield a reluctant Rub^ervion^y. For j these reasons, therefore, which might bo 1 urged at much greater length, we say to I such of our citizens as desire to see the journalism of Philadelphia improved in character and influence—advertise. this doubtless dees, to secure them an extra- ordinary circulation, with a correspond- ing advertising patronage, would not alone enable tho metropolitan journals to reach and maintain the elevated status they enjoy, in point of literary character, social power, and wide spread populari- ty. If they were not sustained by a most generous local support in iheir ad vertising columns they would necessarily, notwithstanding all other advantages, decline in vigor, interests dud reputa- tion. We need hardly tell any man of sense that it costs an enormous weekly expense to employ intelligent correspondents in every comer of the world, and to main- taiu all the other numerous agencies, near atd remote, which are required to gather aud report the ample and varied material for the news columns of the London Times and the principal New York papers. But their business rev- enues are far more thau equal. So much, then, for tli9 source to which the journalism of London and New York owes its superiority iu general character, ability, aud influence. Let us consider now, briefly, the moral aud economic utility of advertising. There are three prime reasons why every community should support it own local press iu the on'y practicable mode iu which it can, as we have explained, be really supported. In the first place, a man who is i>eekiug custom in any branch of trade must in- vite and attract it by notoriety. Busi- ness will not go to tho house orshop un solicited, and could not, if it would,fi:id it in obscurity. It is a fact, attested by universal experience, that tho merchant or manufacturer who is ba-*t known—- who is. in o'her words, best advertised through the newspapers—has the best run of custom. But there are certain old esablished concerns, which either have business enough, or which fancy that they cau re- ly entirely on their acquired reputation. To these we would remark, in the second place, that they should, nevertheless, ad- vertise liberally in their owu local press. With them, regard for the general pros- perity of their eity ought to begin where the mere necessity of their individual business success ceases to operate. The advertising columns of a daily newspa- per form a sort of mirror, in which the general character of a great commercial metropolis is reflected to the eye of the world. People at a distance judge of a eity, in its business conditions and other- wise, by the evidences of activity, enter- prise, wealth and commerce which it presents in the pages of its press In the very same article of the Tribune from which we have quoted the estimated ag- gregate of money expended annually by the business classes of New* York in newspnpers advertising, the editor says : ; ' We count this among the influences which are steadily concentrating the wholesale trade of tlio country upou New York." But,say those of our merchants who have enough trade without inviting more through newspapers, " How are we interested in increasing the genenil com- merce of the community?" The answer is, first, you are interested from a just patriotic p ide in the place of your birth or residence; and if that falls, then, secondly you are owners of real estate and of stocks in local institutions and improvements, or aro otherwise oon- ccrned iu the common prosperity and happiness of the society iu the midst of which you dwell. Thirdly, and finally, the men who neither advertise their business to in- crease it, nor from a desire to advance, by publishing far and wide, the commer- cial character of their city, should yet do so for the purpose of creating and es- tablishing a high-toned aud able local press. There is mtioh involved in this that would defray, ten thousand fold, in gen eral social benefit, the small yearly charge that would fall on each individual. If rightly conducted, all the iuterests of public morals and religion, of popular iuteilligenee and virtue,of civil peaoe and order, tire bound up in the influenoe of a local daily press. Journalism, as we have declared, can nowhere be pure, dignified and intellec- tual, unless it is adequately supported by the moral, refiued, and educated classes. Here, thon, is a reason, and a most poworful one, too, why those who value a newspaper press only for its influence on the popular heart and mind should generously sustain it, in tho only possible way in which it e.in be properly and per- manently sustained. If they will not do this, then to the extent to which tliey Keep up the Flow of Milk in Drouths. A drouth in summer, scorching the pastures, drying the streams, parching | the lr.nd far aud near, i3 a great calami- ' ty, r.ud r.one feel it quicker than the dairyman. Thoprovident farmers have made provis on for any euch occurrence, by putting in corn or sorghum, or other gecn fodder crops, which will afford an abundance of exc-llent forage for a long time, an! if not thv.3 used, will furuish dry fodder for winter feeding. Corn, if only cured, is second in value only to good meadow bay or mixed grasses. Whereever it is possible, the practice of " taking up" tho covra ev^ry night, stall- ing or yarning them and feeding green fodder, or an equivalent, is advisable. A little oil cake meal, or cotton-seed-cake meal, or Indian meal fed daily at this time makes itself very profitably felt in the milk pail, or in the butter tub. As soon, at any rate, as the least un- due diminution in tLe quantity of milk is noticed, and accurate observations ought to be made daily, measures ought at once to be taken to keep up the flow. Farmers are so much in the habit of let- ting cows fall off in milk during the Bum- mer's drouth, that unless they almost dry up, many would only regard it as only the natural course of things. If, how- ever, they have constantly full feed dur- ing the first four or five months after calving, the falling off should be very small. If the cows can not be stalled, nor put into loose boxes in sheds or barns, they may, at least, very easily be yarded. I t is best to put a large herd iu several small, sheltered, dry yards, those agreeing best or about equal strength being put together. When the one or two fighters or "bullies" of a herd are taken out for a night, the rest will be quiet enough, and a decidedly better return for the feed may be expected. The yards ought to have fodder racks, so that the feed will not be wasted. The amount of feed to be provided for the cows, and the time to take them up will depend very much upon the condition of the pastures. They ought to be turned out very early so that they may fill them- selves, if they can, before the heat of the day, or else they should have a feed be- fore they leave the yard. With the re- turn of rains and a good growth of grass, if it is desirable, the feeding at home may be discontinued. By this practice a much better flow of milk will be se- cured for the autumn aud winter.—Amer- ican Agriculturist, Grant's Promptness. Col. William 8. Hillyer, formerly Gen. Grant's chief of staff, was recent- ly complimented by a serenade from the Seveuth Regiment bind, at his res- idence in NowYork. In a speech of thanks to his friends, who had assem- bled, he spoke in the warmest terms of Gen. Grant's ability audfirmness,and expressed his confidence of the final and speedy success of our armies in Virginia. Among other incidents which he re'ated of the General was tho fol- lowing: l; I remember well three years ago id August, when Gen. Grant was in command of the district of Cairo, 111., news was brought to him that tho rebel army had seized Paducab, Ken- tucky, and were moving on Columbus, tie telegraphed to Gen. Fremont, who was then in command iu Missouri, ask- ing permission to go and take Paducah. It was then three o'clock in the after- noon. Hour after hour passed by and no reply c;ime from St. Louis. Seven o'clock came, and the officer announced the troops had embarked and tho citis- sous were ready, still no answer. The operator at St. Louis was questioned on the telegram,and replied that the dis- patch had been placed in General Fre- mont's hands ; and, gentlemen, he had telegraphed ou to Washington to know whether or not it would be polioy to in- vade the sacred soil of Kentucky, and gentlemen who should have been the heroes of this war were playing the part of walking gentlemen. Midnight came, and still no answer, when Gen. Grunt, turning to me, said : " Come on; I will tako Paductih if it costs rue my commission." (Cheers.) And the morning sun shone on Federal bayonets inarching through tho streets of Padu- cah. Tho act not only saved the Ten- nessee and Cumberland rivers, but paved tho way for those expeditions which ended in the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson. Wo started back to Cairo, and there wo received instructions to 'take Paducah, if you are stroug enough.' This is & matter of tho military history of this war, and it shows you the great characteristic of Gen. Grant." The Sanitary Commission at Sacra- mento, Ca!., have 818,000 in gold to forward east. A St. Louis paper complains of the alarming licentiousness prevalent among military men in that city. A soldier from the Army of the Po- tomac passed through New York re- cently, "who had fifteen wounds. The term "bully-boy," is a coinage of the lato Washington Irving, who ap- plied it to "Ready-Money-Jaek," iu one of his delightful liracubridge Hall Sketches. A Western court br»s decided that a kiss is a valid consideration, and forced an oldbachelor to redeem iho promise made to protty raajdon that be would give her a pony fop a kits.

THE PABMEH BOY.

God's blessing rest upon hitn !That sun-burnt farmer boy,

Whose footstep rings with music,Aud eye is lit with joy ;

Upon whose cheek, suu-darkened,The rose of health he wears,

And whose clear gushing laughterHath not a sound of tears.

What though in russel jacket,And coaise and homespun shirt,

And with a hand toil hardenedThat hath a trace of dirt;

And boots so torn and battered,His toes scarce keep within,

And hat, through many a crannyThe sunbeams nestle in.

Up in the morning early,The sleek, fat cows to bring,

Or up the green slope toilingWith water from the spring;

Then far off to the meadow,Where stands the ripened hay,

AH ready to be gathered—He helps as best he may.

No wonder that he catchesThe light from summer skies,

As lovely and as peaceful.To tremble in his eyes ;

And every flower springing,And bird, in dewy dell,

Their music and their sweetnessSend to his heart to dwell.

God's blessing rest upon him,The sun-burnt fanner boy,

With nature for his teacher.His life shall be a joy ;

Not low and si'lfish grasping.Despite his brow of tan,

God and good men shall know himAs one who is a man.

The plough, the hoe, the shovelShall one day greater be

Than ever crown and scepter—When mind, enchained, is free;

Then, for your jeweled monarchs,Now, may ye shout and sing,

For in the "good time coming,"The farmer will be king !

:• The Regular Army and its Work-[We extract the following deserved

tribute to the regular army, its men, andtheir gallant deeds, from the recentBattle Monument inauguration orationof General MCULELLAN, at West Point.— E D . ARQUS.]

But we of the regular army have noStates to look to for honors due to ourdead. We belong to the whole country.We can neither expect nor desire theGeneral Government to make, perhaps,an individual distinction in our favor.We are few in numbers, a small baud ofcomrades, united by peculiar and verybinding ties. For, with many of us, ourfriendships were commenced in boyhood,when we rested beneath the shadow ofthe grauite hills which looked down uponus where we stand; with others the tiesof brother hood were formed in moremature years—while fighting amid therugged n.ountains and fertile valleys ofMexico—witliin hearing of the eternalwaves of the Pacific—or in the lonelyprandjur of the great plains ol the furWest. With all, our love and confi-dence has been cemented by commondangers and sufferings—on the toilsomemarch, in the bivouac, and amid theclash of arms and the presence of deathon scores of battle-fields. West Point,with her large heart, adopted us all—graduates, and those appointed from civ-il life—officers and privates. In hereyes we are all her children, jealous ofher fame, eager to sustain her world-wide reputation. Generals and privatesoldiers, men who have cheerfully offeredtheir all fur our dear country, we standhere before this shrine, ever hereaftersacred to our dead, equals aud brothers"n the presence of the common deathwhich awaits us all— perhaps in the samefield and at the same hour, tiuch arethe ties which unite us—the most en-dearing that exist among men ; such theelatious which bind us together—theclosest of the sacred brotherhood of arms.It has therefore seemed, and it is fitting,hat we should erect upon this spot, sa-

cred to us all, an enduring monument tour dear brothers who have preceded usn the path of peril and of honor whicht is the destiny of many of us some dayo tread.

What is this regular army to whichwe belong ?

I cau not proceed to the events of therecent past and present without advert-ing to the gallant men who were so longof our number, but have now gone totheir last home ; for no small portion oftho glory of which we boast was expectedfrom such men as Taylor, Worth, Bra-dy, Brooks, Totten, and Duncan.

There is a story of Venetian historythat has moved many a heart, and oftenemployed the poet's pen and painter'spencil. I t is of an old man whose longlife was gloriously spent in the serviceof the stjte as a warrior and a statesman,aud who, when his hair was white andhis feeble limbs could scarce carry hisbent form towards the grave, attainedthe highest hocor that a Venetian citizen

I t can proud-ly appeal to the numerous fields from thetropics to the frozen bauks of the St.Lawrence ; from the Atlantic to thePaciSa, fertilized by the blood, andwhitened by the bones, of its members.But I will not pause to eulogize i t ; letits deeds speak for it; they are moreeloquent than tongue of mine.

Who were the men whose death mer-ts such honors from the living ?

What is the cause for which they haveaid down their lives ?

Our regular or permanent army is thelucleus which in time of peace preserveshe military traditions of the nation, as

well as the organization, science, and in-struction indispensable to modern armies.It may be regarded as coeval with thenation. I t derives its origin from theold Continental and state lines of theRevolution, whence with some interrup-tions and many changes, it has attainedits present condition. In fact, we maywith propriety go even beyond the Rev-olution to seek the roots of our geneal-ogical tree in the old French wars ; forihe cis Atlantic campaigns of tho sevenyears war were not confined to the " redmen scalping each other by the greatlakes of North Ameripa," aud it was inthem that our ancestors first participatedas Americans in the large operations ofcivilized armies. American regimentsthen fought on the bauks of the St.Lawrence and the Ohio, on the shoresof Ontario and Lake George, in the is-lands of the Caribbean, aud in BouthAmerica. Louisburg,Quebec, Duquesne,the Moro and Porto Bello attest the val-or of the provincial troops and inthat school were educated such soldiersas Washington, Putman, Lee, Montgom-ery and Gates. These and men likeGreene, Knox, Wayne and Steuben werethe fathers of our permanent army, andunder them our troops acquired that dis-cipline and steadiness which enabledthem to meet upon equal terms and oftento defeat the tried veterans of EnglandThe study of the history of the Revolution and a perusal of the dispatches ofWashington, will convince the mostskeptical of the value of the permanentarmy in achieving our independence, andestablishing the civil edifice which weare now fighting to preserve. The warof 1812 found the army on a footing farfr'>m adequate to the emergency, but itwas rapidly increased, and of the newgeneration of soldiers, many were foundequal to the requierments of the occasion.Lundy's Lane, Chippewa, Queenstown,Plattsburg, New Orleans, all bear wit-ness to the gallantry of tho regulars.Then came an interval of more than 30years of external peace, marked by manychanges in the organization and strengthof tho regular army, and broken at timesby tedious aud bloody Indian wars. Ofthese the most remarkable were the

Black Hawk war,met uuflichingly a

in which our troopsfoe as relentless and

far more destructive than the Indians —that terrible scourge, the cholera—audthe tedious Florida war, where, for somany years, tho Scmiuoles eluded intheir pestileutial swamps our utmost ef-forts, and in which were displayed suchtraits of heroism as that commemoratedby yonder monument to Dado and hiscommand, when " all fell save two, with-out an attempt to retreat." At last camothe Mexican war to replace Indian con-tests and the monotony of frontier ser-vice, and the first time in many years themass of the regular army was concentra-ted, and took the principal part in thebattles of that remarkable aud romantic

Kesaca, and Fortachievements of the

regulars united ; and as to the battles ofMonterey, Buena Vista, Vera Cruz, Cer-ra Gordo, and the final triumphs in thovalley, none can truly say that they couldhave been won without the regulars.When peace crowned our victories in

war. Palo Alto,Brown were the

of treason against the State, he not onlylost his life but suffered besides a penal-ty which will enduro as long as the nameof Venico is remembered. Tho spotwhere his portrait should havo hung inthe great hall of the Doge's palace wasveiled with black, and there still theframe remains with its black mass of can-vas; and this vacant frame is the mostconspicuous in the long line of effigies ofillustrious Doges! Ob, that such a palla< that which replaces the portrait ofMurino Faliero could conceal from his-tory the names of those, once our com-rades, who are BOW iD arms agaiust theflag under which we fought side by sidein years gone by. But no veil, howeverthick,can cover the auguish that (ills ourhearts when we look back upon the sadmemory of the past, and recall the af-fection and respect we entertainedtoward men against whom it is now ourduty to act in mortal combat. Wouldthat ihe courage,ability,and steadfastnessthey display hadbeeu iu the defense of thoStars and Stripes against a foreign foe,rather thau in this fatuitous aud unjusti-fiable rebellion, which could net havebeen so loug maintained but for the skillaud energy of these, our former com-rades.

But we have reason to rejoice that up-on this day, so sacred and eventful forus, one grand old mortal monument ofthe past stijl lifts higli his head amongus, and should havo graced by his pres-ence the consecration of this tomb byhis children. We m;iy well be proudthat we are here commanded by the herowho purchased a victory with his bloodnear the grout waters of Niagara; whorepeated and eclipsed the achievements |of Cortes; who, alttough a consummate 'and confident commander, ever preferred,when duty and honor would permit, theolive bracch ot peace to the bloodstained laurels of war; and who standsat the close of a long, glorious, andeventful life, a living column of granite,against which havu beaten alike theblandishments and storms of treason.His name will over, ever be one of ourproudest boasts aud most moving iuspirations.

Iu lont; distant ages, when this incip-ient monument has become venerable,moss clad, and perhaps ruinous; whenthe uames inscribed upon it ttball seemto those who pause to read them indistinct mementoes of an almost mythicalpast, tho name of Winfield Scott willstill be clear cut upon the memory of all,ike the still fresh carving upon the mon-

uments of loug-forgotten Pharaoh's.But it is time to approach the pres-

ent. In the war which now shakes theland to its foundation the regular armyhas borne a most honorable part. Toofew in numbers to act by themselves,regular regiments have participated inevery buttlu in the East, and most ofthose west of the Alleghanics. Theirterrible losses and diminished numbersprove that they have been in the thick-est of the fight, and the testimony oftheir comrades and commanders showwith what undaunted heroism they haveupheld their ancient renown. Their vig-orous charges have often won the day,and in defeat they have more than oucesaved the army from destruction or ter-rible losses by the obstinacy with whichthey resisted overpowering numbers.They can refer with pride to the partthey played upon tho glorious fields ofMexico, and exult at the recollection ofwhat they did at Manassas, Gaines'Mills, Malvern, Antietatu, Shiloh, StoneIlivcr, Gettysburg, and the great battlesjust fought from the Kapidan to thoCbichahominy. They can point also tothe officers who have risen from amongthem, and achieved great deeds for theircountry in this war, to the living war-riors whose names are upon the nation'stongue and heart, too numerous to be re-peated here, yet not one of whom Iwould willingly omit. But perhaps theproudest episode in the history of theregular army is that touching instance offidelity on the part of tho uou commis-sioned officers and privates, who, trai-torously made prisoners in Texas, resis-ted every temptation to violate their oathand desert their Hag. Offered commis

sions in theland freelyscorned the

rebel service, money andtendered them, they allinduoements held out to

them, submitted to the.r hardships, aud,when at last exchauged, avenged themselves on the field of battle for the un-availing insult offered their integrity.History affords no brighter example ofhonor than that of these bravo men,tempted, as I blush to say they were, bysome of their former officers, who, hav-ing themselves proved false to their flag,endeavored to seduce the men who followed them in combat, and who had re-garded them with respeot and love.

The Counterfeit Treasury Notes.The Washington Chronicle has the fol

lowing account of the counterfeit treas-ury notes:

" There have been received at theoffice of the United States Treasurergovernment notes of the denominationsof fifties aud tens, which have bee~n al-tered, the former from twos and the latter from ones, by splitting tho numberson the backs of tho fractional currencyand substituting them for the numbersorigiually ou the larger notes. Thesenotes thus changed have come iu consid-erable numbers to the office of the UnitedStates Treasurer, General Spinner, anddoubtless many of them are in eirculation among the people. The substitu-tion, however, is not very skilfully made,and a critical examination clearly dis-covers the fraud. The public are cau-tioned against receiving or passing anynote thus changed, as the penalties at-tached to counterfeiting will be rigidlyeufurced.

" As there often arise doubts as to thegenuineness of tho postal currency, thosewho observe the following facts can read-ily distinguish between a counterfeit auda genuine note : As counterfeiters areobliged to wet-print their imitations onaccount, of the tremendous machinerythat is requi^ito for dry-printing, allcounterfeits sire smaller than the genu-ines, and the heads on the front are notso well executed. These are differencesreadily observable, so that no one needentertain doubts in receiving or passingnotes of the fractional currency.

Journalism and Advertising-The daily newspaper proas owes i*,s

character for ability and enterprise to itspecuniary resources, and the main sourceof its revenue is advertising. The rich-est journal in the world—the one thathas the most immense business income-—is the London Times, and it is, by generalconsent, the ablest and most influential.The leading New York papers rank high-est in general merit and influence andthis side of the Atlantic for the verysame reason that the London Tim?sstiindo at the head oi' the press on theother. There is, of course, a certain su-periority of position to be taken into theaccount.

The place where a daily paper is pub-lished gives it an important advantageover the oue less favorably situated.London, in the opposite hemisphere, andNew York in this, are the great centresof uews from all quarters of the habit-able ulobe ; atd iu that single fact thejournals of those two cities, as comparedwith the provincial press, possess a.means of excellence which, while not tobe attributed to them as a merit, thoughit is so accredited by the unreflectingpublic, forms a most essential conditionof their relative superiority. But even' u : - circumstance, contributing, as it

withheld their patronage, they throw thei journalist upon the support of those to! -yhoni be is ooMpeHed, in self defense, toyield a reluctant Rub^ervion^y. For

j these reasons, therefore, which might bo1 urged at much greater length, we say toI such of our citizens as desire to see thejournalism of Philadelphia improved incharacter and influence—advertise.

thisdoubtless dees, to secure them an extra-ordinary circulation, with a correspond-ing advertising patronage, would notalone enable tho metropolitan journals toreach and maintain the elevated statusthey enjoy, in point of literary character,social power, and wide spread populari-ty. If they were not sustained by amost generous local support in iheir advertising columns they would necessarily,notwithstanding all other advantages,decline in vigor, interests dud reputa-tion.

We need hardly tell any man of sensethat it costs an enormous weekly expenseto employ intelligent correspondents inevery comer of the world, and to main-taiu all the other numerous agencies,near atd remote, which are required togather aud report the ample and variedmaterial for the news columns of theLondon Times and the principal NewYork papers. But their business rev-enues are far more thau equal.

So much, then, for tli9 source to whichthe journalism of London and New Yorkowes its superiority iu general character,ability, aud influence. Let us considernow, briefly, the moral aud economicutility of advertising. There are threeprime reasons why every communityshould support it own local press iu theon'y practicable mode iu which it can, aswe have explained, be really supported.In the first place, a man who is i>eekiugcustom in any branch of trade must in-vite and attract it by notoriety. Busi-ness will not go to tho house orshop unsolicited, and could not, if it would,fi:id itin obscurity. I t is a fact, attested byuniversal experience, that tho merchantor manufacturer who is ba-*t known—-who is. in o'her words, best advertisedthrough the newspapers—has the bestrun of custom.

But there are certain old esablishedconcerns, which either have businessenough, or which fancy that they cau re-ly entirely on their acquired reputation.To these we would remark, in the secondplace, that they should, nevertheless, ad-vertise liberally in their owu local press.With them, regard for the general pros-perity of their eity ought to begin wherethe mere necessity of their individualbusiness success ceases to operate. Theadvertising columns of a daily newspa-per form a sort of mirror, in which thegeneral character of a great commercialmetropolis is reflected to the eye of theworld. People at a distance judge of aeity, in its business conditions and other-wise, by the evidences of activity, enter-prise, wealth and commerce which itpresents in the pages of its press In thevery same article of the Tribune fromwhich we have quoted the estimated ag-gregate of money expended annually bythe business classes of New* York innewspnpers advertising, the editor says :

;' We count this among the influenceswhich are steadily concentrating thewholesale trade of tlio country upou NewYork." But,say those of our merchantswho have enough trade without invitingmore through newspapers, " How are weinterested in increasing the genenil com-merce of the community?" The answeris, first, you are interested from a justpatriotic p ide in the place of your birthor residence; and if that falls, then,secondly you are owners of real estateand of stocks in local institutions andimprovements, or aro otherwise oon-ccrned iu the common prosperity andhappiness of the society iu the midst ofwhich you dwell.

Thirdly, and finally, the men whoneither advertise their business to in-crease it, nor from a desire to advance,by publishing far and wide, the commer-cial character of their city, should yetdo so for the purpose of creating and es-tablishing a high-toned aud able localpress.

There is mtioh involved in this thatwould defray, ten thousand fold, in general social benefit, the small yearlycharge that would fall on each individual.If rightly conducted, all the iuterests ofpublic morals and religion, of populariuteilligenee and virtue,of civil peaoe andorder, tire bound up in the influenoe of alocal daily press.

Journalism, as we have declared, cannowhere be pure, dignified and intellec-tual, unless it is adequately supportedby the moral, refiued, and educatedclasses.

Here, thon, is a reason, and a mostpoworful one, too, why those who valuea newspaper press only for its influenceon the popular heart and mind shouldgenerously sustain it, in tho only possibleway in which it e.in be properly and per-manently sustained. If they will notdo this, then to the extent to which tliey

Keep up the Flow of Milk in Drouths.A drouth in summer, scorching the

pastures, drying the streams, parching| the lr.nd far aud near, i3 a great calami-' ty, r.ud r.one feel it quicker than thedairyman. Tho provident farmers havemade provis on for any euch occurrence,by putting in corn or sorghum, or othergecn fodder crops, which will afford anabundance of exc-llent forage for a longtime, an! if not thv.3 used, will furuishdry fodder for winter feeding. Corn, ifonly cured, is second in value only togood meadow bay or mixed grasses.Whereever it is possible, the practice of" taking up" tho covra ev^ry night, stall-ing or yarning them and feeding greenfodder, or an equivalent, is advisable. Alittle oil cake meal, or cotton-seed-cakemeal, or Indian meal fed daily at thistime makes itself very profitably felt inthe milk pail, or in the butter tub.

As soon, at any rate, as the least un-due diminution in tLe quantity of milkis noticed, and accurate observationsought to be made daily, measures oughtat once to be taken to keep up the flow.Farmers are so much in the habit of let-ting cows fall off in milk during the Bum-mer's drouth, that unless they almost dryup, many would only regard it as onlythe natural course of things. If, how-ever, they have constantly full feed dur-ing the first four or five months aftercalving, the falling off should be verysmall. If the cows can not be stalled,nor put into loose boxes in sheds orbarns, they may, at least, very easily beyarded. I t is best to put a large herdiu several small, sheltered, dry yards,those agreeing best or about equalstrength being put together. When theone or two fighters or "bullies" of a herdare taken out for a night, the rest willbe quiet enough, and a decidedly betterreturn for the feed may be expected.The yards ought to have fodder racks,so that the feed will not be wasted. Theamount of feed to be provided for thecows, and the time to take them up willdepend very much upon the condition ofthe pastures. They ought to be turnedout very early so that they may fill them-selves, if they can, before the heat of theday, or else they should have a feed be-fore they leave the yard. With the re-turn of rains and a good growth of grass,if it is desirable, the feeding at homemay be discontinued. By this practicea much better flow of milk will be se-cured for the autumn aud winter.—Amer-ican Agriculturist,

Grant's Promptness.Col. William 8. Hillyer, formerly

Gen. Grant's chief of staff, was recent-ly complimented by a serenade fromthe Seveuth Regiment bind, at his res-idence in Now York. In a speech ofthanks to his friends, who had assem-bled, he spoke in the warmest terms ofGen. Grant's ability aud firmness, andexpressed his confidence of the finaland speedy success of our armies inVirginia. Among other incidents whichhe re'ated of the General was tho fol-lowing: l; I remember well three yearsago id August, when Gen. Grant wasin command of the district of Cairo,111., news was brought to him that thorebel army had seized Paducab, Ken-tucky, and were moving on Columbus,tie telegraphed to Gen. Fremont, whowas then in command iu Missouri, ask-ing permission to go and take Paducah.It was then three o'clock in the after-noon. Hour after hour passed by andno reply c;ime from St. Louis. Seveno'clock came, and the officer announcedthe troops had embarked and tho citis-sous were ready, still no answer. Theoperator at St. Louis was questionedon the telegram,and replied that the dis-patch had been placed in General Fre-mont's hands ; and, gentlemen, he hadtelegraphed ou to Washington to knowwhether or not it would be polioy to in-vade the sacred soil of Kentucky, andgentlemen who should have been theheroes of this war were playing thepart of walking gentlemen. Midnightcame, and still no answer, when Gen.Grunt, turning to me, said : " Come on;I will tako Paductih if it costs rue mycommission." (Cheers.) And themorning sun shone on Federal bayonetsinarching through tho streets of Padu-cah. Tho act not only saved the Ten-nessee and Cumberland rivers, butpaved tho way for those expeditionswhich ended in the capture of FortsHenry and Donelson. Wo startedback to Cairo, and there wo receivedinstructions to ' take Paducah, if youare stroug enough.' This is & matterof tho military history of this war, andit shows you the great characteristic ofGen. Grant."

The National Finances.WASHINGTON, July 2.

The communication of the ex Secre-tary, 8. P. Chase, which was sent to theCommittee on Ways and Means, on the29-h of June, says tho aggregate rev-enue from all sources for tho year clos-ing with tho 30th ultimo, reached 8242,-000,000. The expenses, excluding twomonths' pay of the army, due July 1st,were §880,000,000. The amount in ex-cess of the revenue is theieiore 8640,-000,000. Taking the highest amountes-timated, and assuming that the miscel-laneous receipts will reach $35,000,000,the whole amount of revenue for nextyear can not be set down at more than8318,000,000. The expenditures are•likely to reach $850,000',000 and $450,-©00,000 is to be raised by loans. Theloan biU provides for only §400,000,-000, ar.d that is the largest sum, which,in the judgment of Mr. Chase, can bereasonably attornpted. There remainsthen §82,003,000 to be provided for.and all consideration of public interest,seemed to him, to require imperativelythat they be raised by an increase ofr e v e r e . He, therefore, proposed toraise the deficiency, believing that thechanges proposed by him would pro-duce the difference between the rate onincomes by tho old and new bill addedto the tax of the current year §1,500,-000; the tax on lent tobacco $1,000,-000 ; increase of tax on smoking atidchewing tobacco $6,000,000 ; increaseof tax on malt liquors $ 1,000,000; tax•on d-ealers' sales $5,000,000; tax onspirits on hand §5,000,000; and theamount not increased but brought fromthe next into the current year $2,000,-000, mailing an aggregate of an actualor virtual increase of §85,000;000.

While the resolution in regard to thesupplanting' of republican govupon the Western" Continent is fullyconcurred in, there might be misunderstanding were I not to ssy that the posi lion of the government in relation tothe action of France in Mexico, as assumed through the State Departmentand indorsed by the Executive, will hefaithfully maintained so long as tinstate ol facts shall leave that positiotpertinent and applicable.

I am especially gratfied that thesoldiers and the seamen were not forgotten by the convention, as they for-ever must and will be remembered bythe grattful country for whose salvatioithey devote their lives.

The State Teachers' Association.The annual meeting of the Michigan

Statj Teachers' Association has been heldin our city the present week. The at-tendance has not been very large, butsome of the most prominent educators ofthe State have been present, and the ses-sion we presume has been both a pleasantand prolitable one.

The exercises commenced on Tuesdf.yevening with an address by llev. JOHNM.- GREGORY, Superintendent of PublicInstruc'ion. His theme was, The Rela-tions of Christianity to our EducationalSystem. In developing it ho treated ofthe tineo parties interested in the workof education : the paren!, the child, andthe State ; and from the necessary con--nection and interest of the State withand in the cause of education, ho natural-ly developed ihe conclusion that theState could not prosper unless it maia-ained a system of schools, and that itad a right to require the education ofbo youth of the State. His positionas that the parent was not the soleldge whether or no he should educateis child, that the child had vested rightsaramount to those of the parent, andhat the rights of the State were broadertill. It was an address full of thought.

The exercises of Wednesday consistedn Ibe reading of papers upon education-

topics, by members of the Associa-ion appointed at the last annual meet-ng, and of discussions of points broughtut in these papers or in the address of

Tuesday evening. Theso discussionsere participated in by Dr. HAVEN, Prof.

JCKEENE, of Brown University, R. I ;rof. WKLCII, of the Normal School;

Pvof. Siu,, of Detroit; Rev. JOHN M.JIIEGOKY, and others. Prof GREENE alsoccupied an hour in the afternoon, iu aamiliar lecture or talk upon his methodil teaching language or Grammar, whichlicited considerable interest nnd enthu-iasm, and called forth a unauimous vote>f thanks.

At the close of the afternoon exercisesbe Association visited the University,ind was escorted through the Library,:\.rt-Gallcry, Museums, (Sjc, by Dr. HAVEN,

The address on Wednesday evening,vas delivered by Dr. LAVES. His sub-

col was '"The Teacher"—and the qunli-ies necessary to his success were consid-

ered in the following order : Self-Ites-peet, Enthusiasm, Industry, Order. Itwas an able and instructive address, andwe wish that it could have been heardby every teacher in the State.

Thursday's exercises consisted in thereading of papers, discussions, &c , butwe were unable to be present.

The Association adjourned sine die lastveiling, and wo trust that the members

have carried with them to their homespleasant memories of our city.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, iu his letter

of acceptance of the Baltimore nomi-nation—for which see another column—ueglected to " tell :: story,'' but did notfail to perpetrate a very broad joke atthe expense of the convention. Thereader will recollect that the conventiondeclared in fuvor of ihe Monroe doctrine,or to use its own words "that the peopleof the United States can never regardwith indifference the atlempt of anEuropean power to overthrow byforce, or to supplant by fraud the in-stitutions of any republican Governmenton the Western Continent." Now. itis understood that this resolution wasaimed directly at a then recent letterfrom the State Department to MinisterDAYTON, giving assurances to Louis.NAPOLEON that the President repudiateda repent House resolution affirming theMonroe doctrine. This resolution of theconvention, Mr. LINCOLN " fully cor.curs!»," but at the same time he endorsesihu position of the Stata Department,and says that position " will be laithful-

the following resolution, which we pre-sume waft concurred in bv the House :

Be it resolved by the Senate andHouse of Representatives of the UnitedStates of America, in Congress assem-bled, That the President of the UnitedStates be requested to appoint a dayfor humiliation and prayer by the peo-ple of iho United States; that, he re-quest his constitutional advisors at thehead of the executive departments tounite with him, as the chief magistrateof the nation, at the city of Washing-ton, and the members of Congress andall magistrates, all civil, military acdnaval officers, all soldiers, sailors andmarines, with all loyal and law-abidingpeople, to convene at their usual placesof worship, or wherever they may he,to confess and repent of their mauifoldtins, to implore the compassion and for-giveness of the Almighty, that if con-sistent with His will tho existing rebel-lion may bo speedily suppressed andthe supremacy of the Constitution andlaws of the United Stales may bo es-tablished throughout all the States ; toimplore Him as the supremo rulor notto destroy us as a people, nor suffer usto be destroyed by the hostilities or con-nivance of other nations, or by obsti-nate adhesion to our own counsels,which may bo in conflict with His eter-nal purposes ; and to implore Him toenlighten the mind of the nation to knowand to do His will, humbly believingthat it is in accordance with Ilia will

TREADWELL, the Hudson batikdefaulter and swindler, was convictedlast week at Adrian, and sentenced toprison. After being remanded to jail,to await transportation to Jackson, hegave " leg bail," and is now supposed tobe rusticating in Canada. His suddenescape is somewhat mysterious.

lie Senate, before adjournment,confirmed the nomination of QUINCY A.Gn.LMORu as Major-General of Volun-teers This, we presume, is expected tosalve over the insult ottered him by Gen.BUTLER in relieving him from his com-mand for declining to sacrifice his corps bythrowing it upon intrenchinents whichhave since, and without time given tostrengthen them, withstood GRANT'SWIIOIOarmy. Is BUTLER or the Senate right inestimating GILLMORE'S fitness for a com-mand?

f Mr. FKSSENDEN has acceptedthe position of Secretary of the Treasury, and enlered upon the discharge ofthe duties of tho office. We sincerelyhope that he may so succeed in adminis-tering the finances of the government asto make greenbacks worth at least 50cents on the doilar.

Destruction of the Alabama.NEW YORK, July 5.

The City of Baltimore arrived thismorning.

The pirate Alabama left CherbourgJune 19th to engage the Kearsage, andattacked her ton mile* fi om Cherbourg.The engagement lasted an hour andforty minutes. Both vessels made sev-en complete circles in manceuvering ata distance of from a quarter to half amile. The Alabama was sunk, andSeinmes and part of the crew weresaved bv the English yacht Deerhound.Sernmes was slightly wounded in thehand. Before leaving Cherbourg thepirate left sixty chronometers, his specieand ransom bonds 'there. No one waskilled and only three seamen slightlywoundud on the Kearsage. She landedthe wounded at Cherbourg.

The vessel sustained but little injury.Somrncs declined a, public dinner atSouthampton, and went to Paris to re-port to the Confederate CommissionerThree of the Alabama's officers andsix of the crew were landed at Cher-bourg from a French pilot boat. Alsoseveral from the Bri'.i?h ship Acton.

Rebel Raid at Martinsburg.BALTIMORE, July 3.

Rumors have been circulating here allday to the effect that a largo rebelforce unJer Ewell attacked the Federaltroops at Maninsburg, and compelledthe evacuation of that place. The fol-lowing information in regard to thematter has bten received from head-quarters, principally upon dispatchesfrom Harper's Ferry.

About daybreak this morning, intelli-gence lvached headquarters at Martins-burg, to the effect that the rebels wereapproaching in three separate columns,one by the-turnpike towards Sheperd-town, another towards Martinsburg,not far from the line of railroad, andthe third west of it. It will be remem-bered that the department of railroad,is th:it of Gen. Huntir, assisted byGen. Sige), with Gens. Kelley and Max-Weber. Gen. Kelley's forces is at Cum-berland, whore no alarm or excitement;

exists. Gen Sigei on receiving this in-'formation, at once prepared to checkapproach ot tho enemy, in o-der thatno movable prope; ty should bo destoy-ed. Troops were drawn up, and at liveo'clock fighting commenced in theneighborhood o! Bunker Hill, aud con-tinued four or five hours, during whichhis cavalry fell slowly back to infantrysupports. Ascertaining that the forceof the enemy was largely superior to hisown, Gen. Sigel determined to evacuateMartinsburg which was accomplished ingood order. He telegraphed railroadcompany hero as to stale of affairs, nndall their trains aud other movable prop-erty were safely moved away, someheavy trains filled with supplies forGen. Hunter, wero also taken to a placeof safety. A force of the enemy alsocame by way of North Mountain, witha view, no doubt, of flanking our forces,but in this they were disapointod.

A dispatch received at 5 o'clock thisevening, states that fighting had beengoing on all day near Leetown about10 miles from Harper's Ferry, betweena force of the enemy that was movingin the direction of Sheperdstown Pikeand the command which Sigel bad leftthere to occupy the place.

Both forces engaged were small, andit is officially reported that our troopshad repelled successfully all attacks.All freight and passenger taains fromthe West were worked successfullythrough last night, no express train forthe West left Baltimore this evening.At last account no injury had beendone to the road or bridges. I t is sup-posed the invading force is the samewhich was sent against Hunter, who isunderstood to have retired into WestVirginia, towards Gauley, to await ar.rivals of supplies. Finding Hunterhad eluded them it is thought the rebelswere now attempting a raid into Mary-land. It is thought their strength hadbeen exaggerated and it will dwindledown to u small raiding party whichwill scarcely venture far beyond thePotomac.

Sigel has fallen back to Harper'sFerry and holds a strong positionMaryland Bights.

There was great excitement at Ha-gerstown and Frederick, to-day, owingto exaggerated reports brought oownby fugitives from Martinsburg.

New York Militia Called Out-Albany, July 5.

The President informs Gov. Seymourthat the rebels, estimated from 15,000to 20,000 ptrpng, have invaded Mary-land and taken Martinsburg and Har-per's Ferry, and are threatening otherpoints; th it tho public safety requiresa call on the State militia to repel them,and he calls on New Y.'rk for 12,000ruiiitia as its quota to serve 100 days.

Eebel News-New York, July 5.

Tbo Richmond Examiner, of June80th, says information has been receivedthat 10,000 Yankees and Tennesseanscame over iiHo North Caroliua, and cap-

the Alabama was so worn out that sheand would

never go on the ocean again, she made atrip from the East to Cherbourg in sucha short time that she wan thought to bethe Florida, and so telegraphed. On herarrival Com. Winslow, then in Holland,was immediately sent for by Mr. Dayton.He arrived just in time, as by a protestof Mr. Daytou, the French authoritieswere obliged to order the Alabama outof port. Semmes put the best face onthe matter he could, though it is evidentho did not like to face a war ship. Hosent word to Commander AViuslow thathe intended to drive him off, and Wins-low replied : " Let him try it."

The fight was so short and decisivethat one would have thought the Ala-bama had changed places with one of herunarmed merchantmen victims It isnot true that the Alabama at any timeattempted to board the Kearsage. Wheithe Alabama was disabled in hermachincry, the Kearsage was run up close t<her, and poured in a destructive convergii.g broadside, which tore away a whoKsection of the Alabama's side, at waterline, and let water through in cascadesThe Alabama then turned tail and mad<for the shore. Commander Winslowhoisted his flag of victory and pursuedbut finding that the Alabama was sinking, he lowered his boats to pick up thecrew.

Mr. Dayton informed CommanderWinslow that the prisoners conld not bparolied, but might be transferred to theSt. Louis, when she arrived and conveyed to the United States

Winslow claims that Capt. Semmesaud others taken to Southamptor, are hprisoners, as he had ample means to pickthem up, but, an English yacht actual^stole them, as if by a pre arranged planthus constituting a clear case of intervention.

From the Rebels in Maryland-WASHINGTON, July 5.

Intelligence from the Upper Potomais confused and vague. The citizens oUpper Maryland are terribly frightenedaud are fleeing with their property in aldirections. The dangers thus fur seemto be apprehended, more than real, foFrederick even is not occupied as wasreported, and the rebel commander hanot occupied permanently any town onthe Maryland side of the Potomac. Thenemy aie supposed to be a part of Rausom's, late Stuart's Cavalry, with infantry from Ewelt's corps.

Appearances may be deceptivebut judging by appearances we conclude iliat

the high tax levied by Congress has not de-

ceased the sale and consumption of beer,

whisky* and other intoxicating beverages in

the least, or else that those fluids do their

iiork in proportion to the price paid. We

never saw so much drunkenness in our city

on the Fourth of July, nor we think on anyr holiday, as came under our notice on

Monday. Gray-headed men, who ought tohave acquired wisdom witli age, vied with"Young America" in drinking and makingthemselves drunk, and the latter with the for-mer in foul-mouthed profanity. We regretthe occasion for making such a comment,and do it in the hope of inducing people tothink a moment about an evil which threat-ens to engulf the nation.

^ There was a somewhat serious

r0»on Sunday afternoon last, resulting in(he stoaing the windows out of a buildinghelcBging to parties in no ways guilty of anyoSense, and in the severe injury of one ortwo negroes. The cause of the disturbanceis the alleged indecent exposure of his personhv a colored man, in the presence of a white(reman, which, if the charge be true, shouldhare subjected him to punishment by thehw, instead of being made the excuse forthe promiscuous pounding of colored people,or the assaulting of buildings in which theyreside. We had hoped this sort of businessended last winter, and it is high time it waspat down-either by public opinion cr thestroll" hand °f the law.

FAIUDANK'S SCALES.—About thirty-flva years ago, the Messis. Fairbanks inventedand began making platform Scales, which ef-fected a complete change in the manner atdoing such business as requires weighing andwithout which it would be impossible to dothe present immense amount of business inthe country. Since then they have giventheir constant personal attention to the busi-ness, making all such improvements and ad-ding such modiScations as their experiencelas shown to be desirable. During this timemany other kinds of scales have been inven-ted, and more or less tried by the public, andmainly thrown aside, while the business ofthe Messrs. Fairb inks has steadily increasedfrom year to year, their scales now standinghigher in public estimation, and their salesbeing very much larger than ever before.—This shows very strongly the excellence anddurability of Fairbanks' Scales.

INFAMOCS VANDALISM.—It is an-nounced in the republican papers withg'ee that General Hunter, whesi at ornear Charlottesvilie, Virginia, burnedthe Virginia University, the last relicoi Mr. Jefferson's great mind. Out ofrespeot to that greatest of statesmen,this old and time-honored structureshould have been spared, if nothing else.I t is a burning disgrace to the Admin-istration that it should suffer malignitytowards that great and good man, sim-ply because he was a Democrat and theauthor of our Declaration of Indepen-dence, to thus ruthlessly destroy thatancient edifice of learning and all thatwas 'in it. It is an awful disgrace.

imer Manuring' Gi'ass Lands.Tlic dogma liial it is very injurious to

manure to lie exposed to the sun, isdoubtless well founded, and it so coiicides with the common sense that sunrner, top dressing of grass lands, witBtall manure, is seldom practised. Neverthelcss, the fact stands that fiuc mature, that which is well rotted, and scomposted that it can by evenly apreacparticularly that which is largely uiixewith the muck or sods, containing corsiderable earthy matter, applied immediatelv after mowing, is more efficaeiouthan any other manuring. That this i60 under nil circumstances, and upon alBoils, we will not assert, but we have yeto learn of well conducted experimentwhich fail to indicate this as the bestime to apply such imnure upon pennauent meadows.

First, it is a mulch to the exposeroots and tender shoots, defending tlieifrom the scorching rays of the sun, pierenting the diying of the surface of thground, and retailing in itself the moisture (if rains and dews. 2d., I t furnishes at once stimulating food to the plancut off in its prime, enabling it to recover quickly from the check it receivefrom the close cutting, which is fatal tmany grasses. It is necessary for us tcut the grass just at the lime of all othera, when nutting does the plaut the mosinjury namely, when it has exerted althe strength of its nature in the production of flowers, and in the preparatiofor producing seed. A little later, whetthe seed is formed, many grasses begito 6tore in their roots material windthey draw upon the following spring, anin which the vigor, and vitality even, othe plant is maintained through all thvicissitudes of ail the season. T.injoth;i« a striking example of this. 3d., '-Thmanure, exposed ua it is to moisture amwarmth, rapidly decmnposes. I t is sooncovered, by the growing gniss and contributes to its growth during the remaiudel" of the season, and soon disappearfrom the surface altogether. 4th., Iordinarily induces a growth which warrants cutting a heavy aftermath, ancsometimes a third cutting, without injury to the sward.

Valuable applications are, muck alonefine and evenly spread; and good loainparticularly a heavy clay loam onsand soil, or sand on a clay loam, ameither or both on a vegetable mold, lika, reclaimed swamp; loam or muck composted with stall manure, or in the hoe

pen ; fine stall or barnyard manure inoondition to be spread evenly; aud final!y, atnost any other manure, compost ocomuiereial fertilizer which is worth whait costs.—American Agriculturist.

Turnips.We have never paid the attention t

different varieties of this root which ideserves and receives abroad. The reosoa aiay be that in the northern Statewhere their culture has been most extended, and where we find the most carefuculture in all respects, we can not feethem off upon the ground, as is the custorn in England, where most variulieare allowed to occupy the ground untithus consumed. The vatieties most generally cultivated, and perhaps the bestall things considered, are the Purple-toStrap leaf, which is flat, and the (Jowhorn, (Vertus' Long white), which islong root, standing a good deal . out othe ground ; both are fuvorituo field varieties, the latter seldom seen in NewYork market. The Yellow stone antGolden-ball are each excellent and handsome, aud the Swedes (t utaba^as) are alvaluable, even if sowed rather latethough, of course, these ought to havelong season. For table use in whiteand spring, yellow or white rutabagasBowed in July are preferable to those puin in June, if they grow quickly, fothey are less rank, and more marrowy

The last week in July is usually th<time chosen fer sowing turnips.. (Swedish turnips may be sowed any i ime afterthe middle of June.) The best rule inregard to the quantity of seed is to sow aslittb as you can, a pound and a half tothe acre is an abundance. Drilled 18inches apart they do better than if sowecbroadcast, though this is the method w;tlcommon turnips. If the sowing be delaycd until August, even late in themonth, and severe weather holds off un-til the 25th of November,—" Thanksing time " in England—a good returnmay be expected. Tuniipi do theirgrowing and filling out, in cool weatherafter frost, aud are only injured by suchfreezing as entirely cuts down iheir leaves»nd freezes the ground hard. The bestreturns are gained from rutabagas sowedabout the middle of June, the drills be-ing put far enough apart to give the cultivator room to go between the rows.Sowed lato there are fewer weeds, theroots do not grow so large nor requireBO much room, and so tha drills may bemuch nearer.—American Agriculturist.
