YYe believe that our readers will thank for publishing the speech of Mr. Val- lamlingham, about which so much has been said and written. It is too long to be inserted entire this week. It will be concluded in our next. Of course we do not agree, for a moment, with some of his positions. W'e publish liis speech as an effort worthy in power and eloquence to stand beside the great speech of Lord Chatham in the times of the first Revolu tion. As an intellectual effort, displaying the genius and eloquence of its author, it has few equals in this or any other country. Kaook to the (*ar«it‘n. A good garden at any time is gold to the owner. But at this time it is invaluable. Vegetables are healthy, and for six month.' must be the sole dependence of many families. Every foot of soil in the gar den should be planted in the Spring. Corn will l»e very high in the summer, and al most out of the reach of many poor peo ple. How necessary then to have a good garden. If seed are scarce, those who have more than they need for their own use should divide with their neighbors, and especially with the poor. Let us all t r y to save as much corn and bacon as we can, so that the army may be better sup plied with these indispensable articles. In no way can we do so hut by securing an abundance of vegetables. People in the country generally neglect the garden; hut when provisions are so scarce and high, the farmer will do injustice to himself, and indirectly to his country, if he fails to le- stow some care upon the kitchen tfb* Prospect. | tttfl Situation Celow.

The storm in the North- Ho ' v loD £ ,bis desi ™ble state of things " est which was to sweep three or four States from the old Government, is clear ing up brightly for the Union. The Ken tucky Legislature has rescinded its posi tion of defiance, and dwindles that State ftejre S#t«lien.

It will raise a very large force, and we should make arrangements to increase our own forces as far as possible Thus we see that the Lincolnitcs show no signs ot backing down. We arc, therefore, to havc another year of hard fighting, hard work, and harder living. That we can get men enough to meet the huge armies of the North, we do not question for a moment. It is in the power of the Con federate Government to put every able- bodied man in the field, not only between IS and 45, but between 1G and GO; and-it is the duty of Congress, before it adjourns, to make provision for calling out the en- I men l s n °t* cc tiro arms bearing force of the Confederate !

They are more abused now by the officers and men than they were in slavery; for now every white man is master, and Republicans and Democrats alike if they will not mind, tie them up to a tree and whip them.

On Monday last, the busiest day of all the week, our Foreman and one of our E Vitors were called off for duty in Court. Bright and early Tuesday morning, one of our Compositors took French leave for foreign parts, accompanied by bis sweet heart, and tbe twain, ere this, are united in tiie holy bands of wedlock. About tbe same time two other compositors were sudds nly called off, by one ot those peri odical events which will happen in every well regulated family. The “Boss” of the mechanical department, had all the ambi tious aspirations of his life culminated sud- denlv in an appointment to “office —Su perintendent of the road hands. And to wind up, our last man threatens to do something desperate before the papei is “Let every man, woman and child at home, says our contemporary of the Mo bile Register, with a yard square of ground, scratch it and put it in corn.— Every grain carefully entrusted to the fruitful earth is a mite of contribution to the Nation’s liberty. Every acre of cot ton planted is a comfort to our enemies, and a nail in the coffin of Confederate in dependence. ” Wo go further and say, that iho man who plants cotton to sell, isas much guilty of stabbing tbe heart of our country as the meanest Abolitionist in Lincoln’s army. It matters not that lie only does it indi rectly, tbe result in both cases is tbe same, however different the motive may be. Every acre of ground put in cotton be yond the necessities of tbe planter, is just so much aid and comfort to *tbo ene my. The year before «s fs to try the timbers of which our good ship is made. It will he the last year of the War, but it will be the most terrible. Let us all resolve to do our whole duty in the awful crisis upon us. Let those who are able to fight, go to the field, and those, who stay at home make bread and meat for those who are fighting the Country’s battles. Let tbe blessed women of the country goon in tbe good work they have inaugurated; and let everybody help bis neighbor as far as he is able, and these dark clouds which now hang over us, will pass away with the coming of a new year. We cannot now descry a piece of blue sky as large as a man’s band ; but per haps it is all for the best that it is so. Wc are never in very great danger, except when we cease to depend on God and our -own strong arms, and turn to others for help. We can divide tho North, and bring foreign nations to recognise us, but only by bitting the enemy hard blows, under the call of General Mercer. voiiinecrr :?i«« ii„ s . j anyhow;” and still another class said Wc understand a meeting will be held I they had no objection to colored sol- to-day Tuesday, to organize a Company d * eis but they wanted white officets. , f . pr ' They did not want to be compelled to salute and treat a negro as a superior.
